Hi, I get my CHUWI Vi8 dualboot 16.04.2015. Everything was ok, it worked very good but at the next day morning I wanted to use it and I find that touchscreen doesn't work. I left it for few minutes and when I look at it again It was rebooting, as it turned out - with no end. I finally turned it of when I lost hope and turn on again. This time I get info that my device is diagnosed, then that it's repairing, at the and I saw windows 8 repair panel but all in chinese. I wanted to choose one of two buttons but touchscreen still didn't working. Next time I used mouse by OTG and by lucky choosing some options I eld to reset. But it changed nothing. Then I get info from seller to click vol+ and power button for 20 seconds. It brought me system selection screen, I choose android with mouse and it worked normally just without touch. I don't what else I can do to fix it. Have you any ideas?
PS: I know it's a cliche but sorry for my english;]

I recently updated my TF to 8.6.5.19 Firmware With CWM & Root and I noticed my volume up is not working, the down works fine, I have tried rebooting, Factory Reset and still nothing. It worked fine when I did the update with CWM but now it just stopped. I am not sure if it is software or hardware, I tried rebooting into CWM and it will not work either. I also noticed the backing has separated from the bezel and you can see the rubbers around the volume keys, I have never noticed and issue before with the volume, the volume down seems soft to press as the volume up seems a little bit harder. I wanted to send it for RMA but It is rooted and I do not know how to unroot it. I was told by someone that ASUS will not fix it if you root the tablet. If anyone can let me know what I could do to fix it or maybe someway to reflash the update again or unroot it. I would greatly appreciate it.
A solution....
Well i guess not many people can help you if they dont get the hands on it. Usualy u cant find out if it works or not. Best way is plug it in your pc open properties on your computer and go to hardware and see if the APX activates this is how u can find out if it really work if not here you have a program to get directly to recovery ...

It works fine because i have tried it...
I have tried to get into APX mode many times but it does not work, it just starts the tablet, It is installed on my PC for I have used it before numerous times to install updates and to root it. The only option I can get is the volume down menu which I cannot select "Up" so it boots to the Wipe Data/Android screen. I want to RMA it but I cannot get anyone to let me know whether they will fix it if it is rooted.
This isn't going to help you much but I had an identical problem where the volume Up button stopped working. It was the impetus for me finally sending the unit in for repair - came back a month later with the volume up button functioning but the power button broken and the entire unit virtually unusable. This was a hardware repair as they did something to make the button feel totally different. Second RMA did fix things though.
Mine wasn't rooted though - way too many issues on this thing for me to risk the warranty. Good luck to you though.
Well I bought and downloaded the Asus Transformer Recovery Boot and it works like a charm for getting me into CWM but still no APX mode
Im sorry but i only want to help...
I insist please turn off your TF plug in usb to pc then turn it on pressin VOL + and START and go to mi pc properties hardware and u will see it goes in apx keep trieing it has to work sometimes it takes a little the screen on TF is black all the time just look at pc do it and wait count at least 8 seconds before letting loose the power bott and not more than 10 secs the VOL + if u do it wont work... TRUST ME ON THIS i have tried it on a TF 101 and a TF 3G both rooted now...
A co worker had her surface rt crash on updating and now its stuck at the booting surface screen.
I tried the steps I could find fiddling with the volume button and power button but it gets no where.
Honestly I have zero experience with these and normally use android.
Is there a way to connect this thing to a PC and push recovery files to it as it doesnt seem to want to see the recovery USB at all. It does know its there cause the power/reading light on the USB drive lights up.
Im trying another attempt at downloading and remaking the recovery USB just to see if I got a bad download but honestly wondering if this thing is toast. Just really trying to help them out cause it just ran out of warranty and MS wants to charge them 200$ to repair it.
Thanks
Hello there,
I would like to propose again this question, I summarize the problem of a Surface,
in my case a Surface 2 with Windows 8.1 RT stuck at the 'Surface Screen' and looping
in reboots alternating with the screen of 'preparing automatic repair', and then stuck.
If I reboot by holding down power button for 10 or 30 seconds, nothing changes and
the loop restarts by telling 'there is a problem screen', automatic reboot, 'Surface screen' and stuck.
I've tryed with 2 versions of the recovery image, an old one and one new, with two different
usb sticks. I've booted with "volume down" etc, the usb light flashes a couple of times but
the loop described above does not change.
Seems that many people out there suffer from the same problem, with almost all versions of the Surface, up to the Pro 4.
Many of them solved it with the usb recovery, but also a lot of them still have the same problem. Maybe we do something wrong
with the recovery files?
Any help is welcome, thanks for reading.
Try to keep the device on charge and leave it running for some hours, does it still stay stuck?
Hello Kephax,
I tried several times many strategies, even the one you suggested, nothing to do, always the same loop.
Hence I contacted Microsoft on 15th december, the support was very polite and efficient, in a week I was able to pack my device and give the pack to UPS. After 3 days, they returned me a new Surface2 for free.
I must say mine was only 6 months old, so warranty was still valid. On 24th december I was playing with the new device, so the whole procedure took 9 days. I am very happy.
However, I cannot say what was the fault of my Surface, a hardware problem or some updated went wrong? that's the question, I'm frightened that it was an update problem and that it can happen again to the new device. I can only guess it was a hardware problem because of the experience with the new device, less laggy, more fluid for graphics animations. Also the battery lasts longer.
I hope that this experience can help other user with same problem.
Best wishes for a happy new year,
dott_mat
Create a surface rt 8.1 bootable usb and boot from usb device.
If USB Device bootable, then first connect usb device, then press and hold vol down button, then press and release power button, when surface logo appears then release vol down button.
If all successful then surface will boot into recovery or directly boot from usb drive.
Good day to all. I'm here resorted to ask about my problem here because I really can't handle it. I been googling for days. I'm ran out of resources from both google and tablet. So, I hope you can help me here. Note I'm going to write this in FULL detail here, so expect this to be a extremely long post. (I been warning you) So here goes....
Anyone uses the brand Ramos?(kind of unpopular brand) I use Ramos W21, it's been using it around 1 year and a half, and it endured a lot of problems, but fixed by researching on online forums and apply various methods there. Now, I think it's finally gave up...
One time, when I opened it and play my usual apps and browsing, it caused the errors " unfortunately
google.process.gapps has stopped", unfortunately browser has stoped",and "unforturnately google play has stopped". Then, I tried to clear data the similar apps in settings as usual, and even disabling them. Then more errors exploded, and "unfortunately launcher has stopped" appears. The menu screen(where the usual wallpaper and shortcut apps are located) turns black, while my running apps are still there running. When I pressed the back key to exit the app, now only tons of errors from the launcher appears endlessly(while the screen is black.
The time I finally turned it off by hard reset it made its way to the main problem: the bootloop.
Okay, here's where the thing gets real. It opens with the usual ramos logo, but the next one is a silver flashing android logo instead of enlarged ramos logo with spinning fire from the letter o(which is NOT my usual boot up screen) When I turned it off, it reopens again up to flashing silver android logo and the cycle repeats, even with pin reset until battery dies out. No recovery mode, so I can't use it to fix this. USB connections can't be recognized when inserted to PC. And no, the tablet is not rooted, and I don't customized anything, no mods, and no fancy roms. Just using a stock rom.
So now what? All I have here is just a sd card slot, which I think there's hope in there. Right now it has two options, deal with it and fix with all of might, or repair it in the nearest repair shop(something that is pretty risky, a lot of fakes and robbers here)
Well, this is the first time I post here, so sorry for anything that goes wrong. Thanks in advance.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like a rouge app has replaced your boot animation. Rather than try to chase that down and try to fix it I'd flash the stock firmware and start all over. Unfortunately there is very little about your device on XDA. So you'll probably have to google that.
Solved!!!
Update: I FINALLY FIXED IT!!! IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! O.O
After I keep on wrecking it's power buttons and volume buttons, I discovered something decisive!
This tablet actually HAS RECOVERY MODE! Again, it has a recovery mode! However, the way how to input it is very unique compared to most devices, including other devices from the same brand!
Now having the power of recovery state, I first selected "wipe data cache". The old large Ramos logo with spinning fire appeared again! But it's still bootlooping. So I went back on recovery state, selected "factory reset" and boom, IT BOOTS LIKE BRAND NEW!!! (sacrificing my old data though)
Okay, I don't want this recovery mode powers to be kept only by me. So I'm going to share it to all Ramos users,especially the model W21, like right now!
1. To do this, you need power button and volume up button.
2. While bootlooping, hold the power button and volume button at the same time and it will turn it off(Then expect it to turn on back up again automatically)
3. When it opens up again to the small Ramos logo(no fire animation), now RELEASE the POWER BUTTON ONLY, and keep holding the volume up button. Note, this is important! If you do anymore than this, it will either black out, go bootlooping once again, or ultimately, nothing.
4. Keep holding the volume up button, then the ramos logo will disappear, and now it will enter to our holy grail, RECOVERY MODE! Congratz!
Now when you finally have a normal working Ramos tablet again, you may go there again by turning it off by "Power Off" (assuming that your tablet is open) then holding the power and volume up(then follow above!)
I hope this will help a ton for Ramos users! :laugh:
I'm glad you got it working. You should post your solution here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general More people with your device will look there than in the Assist forum. Name the post something like [SOLVED] RAMOS Bootloop Problem

Hello. Sorry in advance if this is the wrong thread. I own a pretty old 1 year old tablet that currently has a problem.
Important info: Android 5, No access to a computer for 2 weeks (vacation), slightly cracked screen (still works), I had to install a Play Store apk as the one I had previously was corrupt. Tablet was functioning fine until the moment of the incident (except for the play store apk, which I later fixed).
Minor detail: Once the screen turns on after a restart the pixels near the top of the screen seem to turn purple for a second when I tilt the tablet.
Here is the story:
I was watching a YouTube video and suddenly my tablet froze. I thought: "Uhh, another freeze how annoying," and waited for it to load. I did not unfreeze. I thought: "Well, I guess I'll be fine if I turn my tablet off and on. This is where I got worried. My Power key was not responding. I tried the volume keys. Nothing. I tried connecting a mouse and moving it around. Still nothing. I thought "Ok, lets try restarting it" I did that by holding the Power key down for 10 seconds. To my relief, it turned off. But when it was turning back on again, it was at the loading screen for a little to long. It usually takes 5 seconds to get past the loading screen and enter the boot screen. I decided to wait. 1 minute: nothing. 5 minutes: nothing. I got worried. I tried restarting the tablet again. I restarted successfully but was stuck at the loading screen again. The was no movement on the screen. Only the loading screen. I decided to try the restart backup button which I could activate by putting a pin in a small hole at the back. It had the same effect holding down the power key had. I decided to ue my backup plan: recovery mode. I successfully entered recovery mode. I chose the option "clear cache" and tried to boot again. No changes. I did a scan for any root errors. it said that there were 5 errors, but there was nothing I could do about that. I tried doing a factory reset, then booting up. The reset was successful, but I got the same effect as always. No changes. I gave up and tried to google a solution on my phone. Most of them told me to install a PC program, but one told me to do the same thing I already did: reset, restart. So I decided to let the tablet sit with the boot screen for 2 hours. When I came back, there was no change at all. I tried searching again for a solution. A YouTube video said that the boot time after factory resets may be long, so I decided to reset and let it sit for a bit. 20 mins later, no changes at all. Finally, I gave up and now try to ask for help here.

Was your device rooted? Did you have TWRP custom recovery installed? If you don't have either of these two things then your only option is to flash the stock firmware via PC.
Do a google for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
If what you need is out there somewhere, that woll find the instructions, the tools and the file(s) you need.

hi all,
my new "blackview tab 8" got stuck during normal updates (after 30 mins of working with the tab). i did a softreset but it wouldn't boot anymore. i just saw the boot screen.
a few tries later, i don't see anything on the screen, i can't go into recovery mode, my computer can't find the device (I tried the adb script thas has been linked in some how-to für newbies ). the only thing it reacts to, if i hold the power button reaaaaaaaaaaally long - like 30-40 sec. then it vibrates, but nothing more happens afterwards.
there's also a tiny hole (not the one for SIM / SD) in which i poked around in the hopes that this will be a reset switch, too. and there is actually a button inside - but it doesn't do anything for me.
so, i wasn't doing any flashing, but i guess, this forum is the best source for the answer as you see a lot of bricked phones
i got the money back so i can now try to repair it myself. i already disconnected the battery and reconnected it, but that didn't help. what could be defective? is there something that i can do / test / replace?
cheers
