Acer A1-830 stuck in boot loop soft bricked..... - General Questions and Answers

Okay i have an A1-830 & was installing a game, made a couple of modifications & now i have a soft bricked device.
I was installing Gangstar Rio & made some changes to try & get it to run as the minimum specs, my device had to run it but @ 1st it stated that the license was invalid so i changed the date backa year on advice from someone & it worked but then it stated that the device was incompatible, so i researched & found that was happening to most with devices that should have ran it but someone had advised to make some change to the 'batch.prop' file to fool the game to think it was a different device. I may have accidentally changed something in the batch file that caused this. i can't be certain but yeh, when i rebooted my tablet it got stuck @ the Acer logo in bootloop.
I tried recovery & did a factory reset & it acted like it was working but when i rebooted my device it still bootlooped. I then did some research & i tried to flash the stock rom but got errors each time i tried. i'll list the errors below;
i started off trying to flash the 'system.gz' file as follows;
>fastboot flash system Acer_AV052_A1-830_1.014.00_WW_GEN1.system.img.gz

Then I try to start the tablet but just get a quick flash of the USB symbol and nothing else. I've tried various things but I'm not sure if I'm missing something here or not. Can anyone suggest anything? This is driving me crazy.

Download this to your computer and unzip it. Don't unzip the system folder in the zip file. Open fastboot and do fastboot flash boot (the boot img) then once that's done, do fastboot flash fastboot (fastboot img) then do fastboot flash recovery (recovery img) and then do fastboot reboot-bootloader. Then do fastboot flash system (system img.gz). Then on the tablet using the volume keys and the power button, go to recovery and wipe data then reboot, now it should be done!

I am not sure but by now you must have probably fixed it but try to boot into recovery and wipe data and reboot. That usually fixes bootloops upon flashing stock roms *ehum*samsung*ehum*, never the less, it also worked for me in my acer and I am back and running!

big thanks! tablet is booting fine again

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! Ah, I remember when I was stuck in a bootloop (and was a noob at android) so I took it down to the shop and they gave me a new one, then it happend again and I got another one for free! But as always, I'm so glad it worked!

I'm also having the FAILED (remote: flash_cmds error!) error. I have tried to do the steps in the specified order in the comments and I still get the error.
Can anyone help me?

Is the 4.2.2 image the Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.006.00_WW_GEN1_FLASHPKG version?
If so, I got the exact same error.

Have you wiped data? Also, reboot droidboot and make sure fastboot recognizes the device. Maybe you can try adb pushing the files via fastboot oem startftm command.

How are you trying to access droidboot? You can't hang on logo if you don't have droidboot (it's the bootloader mate).

[Q] Can't flash anything via fastboot or otherwise

I flashed a modified 44s ota over a 33r ROM (stock) file to my device and lost the ability to boot. Whenever I try to flash via fastboot I get the error: "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)"
Does anyone have a way of repairing this? Would love to start using this device again. Thanks in advance :good:

Do this at your own risk:
Go into fastboot and flash 38R. (Available at current time on cygen's site) Flash everything including userdata. Reboot and you should be at the home screen. Then when you are here ota update through settings. Not recommended to modify ota, just do it after the ota if possible. (You might have to unlock the bootloader to follow this guide)

I don't think that's going to work, he's borked his partitions. And the modified OTA wasn't technically the problem. The problem is that he flashed an OTA on top of an incorrect preceding build. It should have gone 33>38>44 but instead went 33>44. Because it was a modified OTA with a modified installer script, the safeguard that would normally stop such a mistake from happening had been disabled. Modified OTA's are perfectly fine, as long as you take them in the right sequence.

He still has access to fastboot which means he can reflash stock firmware.
Not with borked partitions.

Shouldn't it work with the Official signed 44s Fastboot Image that was released yesterday by Cyanogen?
Not if the partitions are borked. It can't flash to a partition table that doesn't exist. It's like trying to serve dinner onto thin air, it has nowhere to go.
Transmitted via Bacon
And there will be no way to repartition? Guess that something like using parted should work on nand, assumed the right partition tables are known...
It's possible, but getting it done can be tricky. I myself have zero experience in trying to repartition.
Transmitted via Bacon
Note to self: triple check the version numbers before flashing lol
Sorry op I have no constructive feedback

@timmaaa you were correct I attempted that and it failed. I resolved my problem by flashing calkulin's stock mod 44s. I've come across another issue now. Occasionally the devices screen won't come on at all. I'll have to completely reboot the phone for it to work. Is this an issue on 44s or is there another problem under the hood?

I am running CM11 nightlies, and this issue happens to me (and also on my nexus 5 using milestone builds) ONLY when I am using the Ondemand governor. If you're using that, try changing and see what happens.
Ah yes I am using ondemand. I switched it from interactive last night. Didn't think of that thanks I'll test it.

Please make sure to report back, could be valuable info. I haven't found anyone else discussing this potential cause of the problem, but others do seem to have it.

So far it hasn't done it since I changed back to interactive.

Hello,
I need some help with a Oneplus One that is stuck on the Cyanogen boot image. I bought this for cheap thinking that I could fix it, but 3 hours later still no luck. I have access to TWRP and Fastboot, which made me hopeful, but no access to the storage on the device.
1. TWRP: I can’t mount /data, /cache/ persist (shows E:Unable to mount ‘/data’, etc). I can mount /firmware or /system.
Trying to sideload a bunch of different roms gives me this in the command prompt:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb sideload cm12.zip
loading: 'cm12.zip'* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
2. Fastboot: trying to flash individual files with fastboot gives me “remote: flash write failure”. I’ve also gotten a “partition table doesn’t exist” error.

From what I've read, I think Heisenberg will say that the partitions are borked, but I'm hoping I'm a little luckier than others who do not have access to fastboot or twrp. Any suggestions?

From what I've read, I think Heisenberg will say that the partitions are borked, but I'm hoping I'm a little luckier than others who do not have access to fastboot or twrp. Any suggestions?

I messed up my One by deleting stuff I should not have... it would not read the internal "sd card" memory at all... so nothing would flash to the phone. I had fastboot and TWRP working. I tried this kit and it only partially worked for me, but did get recovery going. What I did get to work is by connecting an on-the-go cable to it and put the files to flash on a flash drive. The phone will find it in TWRP if you set it up to read the OTG cable. Then flash away something that will boot up... then go from there with the ROM you want to use. Using the Caulkin's ROM mentioned earlier will get it at least running. This worked for me, and may work for you too.

That won't work in this situation, he hasn't merely deleted everything, the partition table is borked.
Thanks for the reply. I'd previously read that, but thought it didn't apply because I have fastboot and recovery. I'm trying it now, but I can't get the device to show up in Device Manager. The phone goes to the charger screen when connected and it shows up as MTP USB Device. I tried seeing if it would show up on the downloadtool.exe he mentions, but no go.

[Q] OPO 64GB Bricked ; acces to fastboot and recovery

Hi folks,
Here is a resumé of what i've tried so far
Actual symptoms : Cyanogenmod logo with animation looping (no bootloop)
I've access to fastboot and philz recovery (but errors are shown, see below)
I've got the phone as it is, no idea of what the previous owner has done.
Can someone help me ?
I tried to unbrick using various methods :
ColosOS : device is displayed as FORGE HS-USB QDLOader 9008 or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOader 9008
OPO recovery tool 1.1 : connected to com5, 8974_msimage.mbn: OK
that's the only thing shown, then the OPO vibrates and nothing happen

I would ask for trying twrp recovery and trying flashing a ROM...
If that did not help, there is a thread for unbricking the oneplus using Qualcomm drivers, in which adb is not required.... try it and many have recovered their device... I'll post the the thread link, once I get to a laptop.

Status 7 message is due to improper twrp recovery..... flash the latest.... and unlock the bootloader once again.... may be that will help.
Really want to help u.... because, once i had bricked my device and lost efs also, and I know how bad it feels .... but thanks to my backups, i was saved...

Actually, I can't flash a new recovery, when I try with fastboot, I get an error (flash write failure) and also when I try to erase it.

im having this exact problem... anyone managed to find a fix? Even putting it back to stock doesn't work!

Never seen a brick this hard to solve...

So I have an Honor 8 FRD-L04 that I was trying to root today. I flashed TWRP and all was good. Until I tried to install SuperSU using TWRP. It said my data partition wasn't able to be found or something, I can't remember. So I did some quick Googling and tried some fixes (changing the partition format to FAT and back to EXT4, etc). This just screwed it up even more. So here's the scenario:
*Can't access ADB anymore, doesn't show up in devices
*Can access fastboot, however:
I usually get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" when I try to do any commands (bootloader is unlocked). Because of this, I can't flash extracted .IMG files.
*eRecovery tells me "Getting Package Info Failed"
*Don't have access to TWRP anymore
*Have tried multiple firmwares using the dload method, either they can't install or simply do nothing
*I've tried Huawei Multi Tool and got the following output:

This is really bad. The solution to your first problem was to simply remove encryption by formatting data.

I'm going to cover the basis here, as I've seriously screwed over my phone before but recovered.
If you managed to get the phone responsive with the rollback package try flashing the EMUI 4 package.
If that doesn't work, plug into the computer and press and hold the power and volume down buttons to get into fastboot: unlock oem if possible
let me know if that gets you started.

How odd. Latest platform tools from google. Two computers. Two pixel2 phones. Yes, TWO phones! Four cables. All the exact same result. The deuces script wiped twrp and I'm beginning to believe it installed a borked bootloader:

How do I tell which is the proper factory image? There are 15 listed for the Pixel 2. Since I bought my two Pixel phones directly from Google, there appears to be 5 that might work, so I tried each one with identical results. SHA-256 Checksums match.

I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any data corruption. The most recent one which was .19 should do the trick if that's not working and you've tried everything else it may be time to do an RMA.
Sorry to piggyback on a thread, but I seem to be having the same problem (I think). All I did was update Magisk to 16.0, then reboot my phone now I'm stuck in bootloader, none of the options do anything except make the screen go black for a minute then go back to the bootloader screen (assuming the bootloader screen is the one with the Android laying on it's back).
Is the main fix to re-flash a google factory image? OP said something about bad abd files, but I haven't even tried to push anything with adb since I rooted my phone last month. Or should i use the fix bootloop script in the other thread?

What your talking about is the android stock recovery not the bootloader.

Bricked Honor 8 [SOLVED]

Hello, it seems i have bricked my phone. The model is FRD-L09C432. I've been trying to restore it to stock but to no avail. I've tried flashing various build numbers via the Unbrick funtion of Huawei Multi Tool, but it always gave an error when it was flashing cust.img and system.img, reporting that I'm trying to flash the wrong image. I've also tried the 2-step method in which you load a rollback package in the sdcard and then try to flash the old firmware, but that also doesn't work as when I am in the first step of the progress, trying to install the rollback package, the installer stops immediately at 5% reporting that the installation failed as the update package does not exist.
I wonder if this is an error with the SD card - maybe the phone can't read it properly. What should the SD card be formatted to? Right now, it's a single FAT partition.
Any ideas or tips are welcome.
Edit: when I try to unbrick with HMT i always get something like this:
