[Q][A510] A510 totally bricked. Help! - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

Yesterday I left my A510 in stand-by with its AOKP kitkat rom running (it runs smooth since many weeks).
This morning the tablet was bricked.
When I turn it on, it reports "boot failed" and starts the fastboot download protocol.
I cannot enter CWM recovery anymore.
I have tried to fastboot a CWM recovery with "fastboot boot recovery_nothrills.img" but it gets stuck; I tried to boot the stock recovery with "fastboot boot recovery_1_044_00.img" but it freezes.
I have tried to flash these recoveries with "fastboot flash recovery recovery_nothrills.img" but it fails:
Code:
# fastboot flash recovery recovery_nothrills.img
sending 'recovery' (5968 KB)...
FAILED (remote: (AccessDenied))
finished. total time: 0.016s
I run these program as root under linux, therefore I thinks it's not a driver/permissions problem.
I have no idea of what else try.
Is there a recovery program as the one for the A500, running under XP?
Thanks.

[Q] Cannot Reboot Recovery

I am running CM10.1, and wanted to upgrade to the new nightlies, Upon trying to get into recovery, I cannot use goo manager to installed recovery nor reboot to recovery. I did then try to push TWRP to my device using fastboot, that did not seem to work as any time i rebooted to recovery it would do a normal reboot. I can access fastboot, however when I volume up on "RCK" the following error comes up
Key driver not found..Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329" A03
Starting Fastboot USB Download protocol
Booting Recovery kernel image
Booting Failed
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000).
I do not know if I have everything loaded into my PC correct, drivers, etc. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated.
As i am now I can run CM 10.1 just fine, booting and everything, I just cannot get into recovery to upgrade or change roms.

I don't know if this method will work on CM. You can give it a shot and report back.
1. Download the Asus firmware from Asus website and extract it once because there is anotherr zip in it.
2. Copy the second zip file to your root directory on your internal sd and reboot
3. If it works, you should see the notification on the lower right corner and click on it. You just follow the instruction to put your device back to the factory bootloader.
Before you use this method, you need to move all your stuff to your computer as a back up because it will wipe everything that you have on your device..
There is another method that you could try if it does not work.. Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
I tried to download the US Firmware from the ASUS site, put it on the root of the internal, then rebooted. Did not see any notification
What is this other method you speak of....
This isn't a huge deal, if I'm stuck on a RC of CM 10.1 I can deal with it. I just like to be up to date and like to reconfigure my tablets and phones from time to time.
On a side note, isn't rom/recovery etc tasks with this tablet very difficult when compared to other tablets/phones?

Did you unzip it once? You need to have a different firmware version than the one on your system... I will find the other method and link for you..

LetMeKnow, Thanks for the update.
Myp hone is a Droid Razr HD, and I know with that phone its possible through the bootloader to flash stock firmwear, is this possible at all with the Transformer tf700t? It would be great to have a simple tool to aid us in getting back to stock to start from square one!

By reading your post again, let me summarize it here. You know how to use fastboot, can't boot to your custom recovery (TWRP), want to flash stock recovery to fix your problem, and have try a few methods to put the stock back but it did not work. You still can get to your bootloader menu. Can you try to use this command to see if you can access to your custom recovery: fastboot boot-recovery
Good luck and get back to you on the link...
this is what came up in command prompt....

I then did try below. but when I went to reboot, it just stayed in fastboot, so that leads me to believe there is some error there, either my bootloader is screwy or something related. I appreciate your help. At this point if anything can get me back to stock as bought, I dont care if its older versions of the firmware/bootloader/stock recovery, I'll take it from there.

I have not seen that before, so I don't know what to say...
When I did fastboot TWRP recovery, I used blob file instead of img file. Do you want to download the blob file and try again?
Edit: What version of TWRP did you fastboot? V2.6.3.0 is larger than our partition on the tf700. Therefore, you can not use it..
The .IMG was cwm recovery. I tried that after trying twrp most recent version. 2.6.3.1 I think.
Sent from my XT926 using xda app-developers app
On a side note, when i fastboot the TWRP file to my device, the green blinking box stopped around "RCK" after that when i type in fastboot reboot to reboot the system, nothing happens. any thoughts?
At this point in time, if there is a way to force stock recovery through fastboot or the stock firmware as well, i'd like to give that a try.

If fastboot doesn't work for you but you have a rooted Android, you can try installing a recovery using the dd method:
Code:
cd wherever/you/downloaded/twrp
su
dd if=openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-tf700t.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
then reboot - the bootloader should flash your new recovery with a blue progress bar and reboot again. On the second reboot, hold down volume-down to get to the bootloader menu and try entering RCK again.

You mean the expected output? Something similar to:
Code:
15836+1 records in
15836+1 records out
8108136 bytes (8.1 MB) copied, 0.152395 s, 53.2 MB/s
(the above is from my PC - the TF700 is slower)
Or do you mean where you enter those commands? Either via your PC in an adb shell (in this case you must first transfer the file to the TF700 with adb push or other means), or directly on your tablet with a terminal app under Android (I recommend the one from jackpal, search the Play Store)
I was able to get the same output, however when I rebooted after running the last dd code, it did not do anything, just rebooted as normal.

make sure you have the a700 and not the a701 or a510 etc etc....
also, you could try booting directly into fastboot:
1. power off
2. hold power and volume down, while you're doing that, constantly change the rotation switch from lock unlock lock unlock.... keep doing it for about 5 seconds
try flashing from here... it might give you the same result but worth a try.
other possible problems:
1. the recovery you downloaded is corrupt
2. the recovery you downloaded was not a working version
3. you might not have the right usb drivers installed
4. you might have used the wrong recovery commands
5. command (sometimes) needs to be Run as Administrator on Windows (right click)
6. you might have waited too long to reboot to recovery, or used the wrong method to do it
it might make it easier for you if you just rename recovery on computer to recovery.img (so you can just type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
also, I have uploaded a copy of the recovery I'm using (it's newer)
you can also try (while in fastboot)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
(or any custom recovery)
It should boot without flashing, and from there you're will be able to flash firmware, ROM, etc...

it might be fine but personally I would not try that... recovery and boot are not to be confused and bootloaders are not to be messed with

re-flash the recovery and don't forget to use this command after flashing recovery....
Code:
fastboot format cache
then reboot to recovery manually....
I have exactly the same problem except I still have a working OS.
After I couldn't boot into recovery I tried to flash a new recovery by using the TWRP app ("flashed successfully"), reboot to the recovery... same thing, it's stuck at the logo. I tried the flashify app as well (flashed successfully)... reboot... same thing.
I also tried to format the cache in fastboot after flashing the recovery which didn't help.
So either I am stuck with this ROM for the rest of my OPOs live or someone can help me.
I am by no means new to flashing. I flash new ROMs since my HTC Desire, I flashed my SGS3 on a weekly basis and I own my OPO since it came out and I never had any problems.

if you don't have ROM installed you can manually flash a a rom from fastboot.
Return your OPO to Stock via fastboot

Stuck in fastboot after using fastboot rom

One plus 7 pro, European version
So i was running Lineage OS on my phone for some time now (latest base update i did was to ob1 as far as i am aware), when there was an update lately
I installed it as normal, but the phone would not get past the boot animation and kept restarting, so i went back to the other slot to see if that still worked, but it only had a laggy boot animation, which never booted
I then installed the previous version that i was running before the update back to the other slot, hoping it would solve the problem of not booting (that worked before already) but it still did not boot
I saw someone post they had 10.3 installed as base so i restored the ob1 installation with a fastboot rom i still had on my hard drive, but upon finishing the phone just went into crash dump mode showing
dm-verity device corrupted force dump
kernel_restart
I tried another install just to be sure, but same result
I then tried flashing twrp to the boot partition to at least get there, but the phone just went straight to fastboot upon doing that
Fastboot boot still seems broken and just shows
D:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot tw.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.228s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 1.346s
I searched around if there were other ways to install twrp from fastboot, and found this tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...g/apk-img-dat-br-one-click-decompile-t3886057) that promises to unpack and repack the boot.img, so i hoped i could use that to manually add twrp to it, but it failed to unpack the file
Next thing i found was this MSM tool post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691) instructed to hold volume up and down for 5 seconds before connecting the phone to a pc, and the program actually picked it up, however the phone started itself after a few seconds and went back to crashdump mode
At this point i'm seriously out of ideas, does anyone else have other ideas that i missed?
Does anyone have a boot img with twrp?
keep trying the MSM tool. it WILL work.
if you can get into fastboot again, type in fastboot reboot edl in ADB

This is indeed what typically shows for an error when fastboot boot isn't working. Probably due to using an older fastboot ROM. I'd try to use a newer fastboot ROM, or you can flash a patched boot image, which is how the phone was being rooted before fastboot boot was fixed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...isk-patched-boot-image-oneplus-7-pro-t3964345
If I recall correctly, you can't fastboot boot with android 10.
