Hello everyone,
My first time in this site and been reading a lot of posts. I wonder if anyone can help me out with this problem.
I was dusting off my old nexus 7 in order to use for college. The current lollipop versions brought the speed of the device way down. I been reading that plenty of people have the same problem with the new version. I went searching for a way to revert back to kitkat so my tablet can be usable again. Anyways after reading and watching videos I found a good one. I would post it but since I am new tot the forums it restricts me. I followed it step my step even downloaded the correct nexus 2012 wifi kitkat version but when I was flashing the device on the command prompt it kept saying telapia folder was not found. I made sure the file was placed correctly but was still giving me the error. Then I made the mistake of unplugging the usb cable then the tablet shut down. Now the screen won't turn on and under device manager it shows the device as an "APX." I know the physical hardware isn't damaged because I can here the ding noise when I plug the tablet to the computer. Please if anyone has a step to step guide to recover the device that would be awesome. Thank you.
Hi,
Unfortunately, it does not look good for your device. You can read a similar situation here, and try what's recommended...

Other than that, you may not have any luck here.
But I hope you figure it out somehow! :good:

You can use this guide to restore any state to the factory installed state:

I am with ATT and i have had the IMEI registered with them for the phone. I verified the APN but when i connect with ATT it lets me on the 3g network for about 1 minute then drops me completely. I have read hear to use the fix for the ZP0810 so i got the tools and i have the connection the problem comes from when i am following the directions. I cant get it to ever enter the root mode. It says i have root access but all it does is sit the goophone splash screen. the tools i am using come from this spot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174075) but the database came from another section on here.
I know i am not being very descriptive but i am not a developer and I am more upset about the phone not working it was a present for the wife and it has been a nightmare for me. so any help you can give me would be great.
If i have to buy a new ROM for it i will. I would just need better instructions Tools, Steps and verifications required on my part. I am a mechanic and i know hammers and saws better then ROM's
I appreciate it all in advance if you need more info or pictures or what i am using right now please let me know.
update i have tried the tools given researched them and all but when i go to do the update using the attachement that i have attached and followed the youtube example but i am stuck and truly need some help. I got the tools to run but when i set the tool to connect to smartphone in meta then remove the battery and reinstall and click reconnect i get nothing but the Goophone splash it doesnt progress any further. I have been doing this now for 2 weeks total and have read extensively about how to do it and i feel confident i can do it now if i can figure out what is going on with not going past the splash screen.
I am using window 7 64 bit and i have to run the tools as windows xp sp3 in order to not get a mem error. So any suggestions would be helpful thank you
this is the step that is stopping me from applying the fix
"Then remove the mobile phone battery and reinstall ,click to Reconnect,charger mobile phone through link
to the USB"

i am not in us, so no idea, but reflashing is not difficult. i brick my phone in less than a day and recover it within few hours of reading as well.
Try flashtools
Hello Guys
So i recently purchased a samsung tablet (gt-n8013) it was working fine, i put it to charged came back from work and it wouldn't bootup ,it stuck at the samsung logo..I checked online (google and youtube) and it seems like a common issue with that tablet (thank you samsung), i tried almost everything, hard reset, root the tablet and nothing seems to be working. I also noticed my laptop doesn't recognized the device after i download the latest firmware from samsung,i tried different softwares like Odin or kies none of them wouldn't recognized the device, so it was impossible to root my tablet..i bought a new usb cable and tried the same steps on a different pc still nothing...Its been two weeks now still not working and i don't know what else to do, if anyone ran to the same problem and knows how to fix it ,could you kindly help me resolve this issue or point me out to the right direction PLEASE!!!..Thank you.
Hi, first, please don't make duplicate threads, http://forum.xda-developers.com/postings.php?t=3131512&pollid= We do this on our free time and sometimes it takes us awhile to respond
Your best bet is to ask for help in your device's forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1. But sometimes device's just die. Odin is your best chance to get it working again. With your device booted into download mode and connected to your pc does device manager show anything? Maybe an icon with a yellow exclamation mark.

Hello good kind hearted fellow reading this,
I was trying to root my Old NVIDIA Shield tablet LTE which I foolishly updated to 6.0 so I could remove the tegra.OTA apk and prevent the kill switch.
I first followed the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/how-to-root-nvidia-tablet-android-6-0-t3280671 then lost Wifi.
I then decided to follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/unofficial-update-original-shield-t3281541, then after step 3 where I flashed the blob.img, I rebooted the tablet as directed, but now nothing happens. It won't come on so I can proceed with the procedure, It is not recognised in ADB, It only shows up in my device manager as APX when I plug it in and shows the green/orange light which indicates charging. The screen remains BLACK>
The bootloader is already unlocked
Is all hope lost??? Is there anyway to revive this? PLEASE HELP ME...
I have read through threads which i searched for using the keyword "BRICK", but I dont seem to be able to find anything that can help.
Thanks a bunch!
Only NVIDIA can help you, once your Tablet does not boot into the bootloader

Just call NVIDIA and talk to them. If it's only a software problem (flashing gone bad), they can fix it in 10 minutes. As far as I can remember somebody in the first thread I linked, talked about returning the tablet for repair after talking to them.
Problem: You have purchased a China Lenovo S856 smartphone and tried to flash ROW ('Rest of World') firmware to it for whatever reason. You now have a softbricked phone that won't boot past the Lenovo screen.
Solution: Download the following files, which are a little tutorial with pictures, as well as the correct China firmware for your s856 and the Flashing tool to use....https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzQTMtaXFXZEFNbHc https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzRTk4ZTB3c1VDdzA https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzWVA2UENuY1NYTkk
All the solutions I have seen so far were sketchy at best and very difficult to comprehend, let alone use to unbrick your phone. This is what worked for me, and my attempt to help anyone else with the above problem.
That is all, and good day to you.
Thanks for your help, but my problem looks very difficult now, because the system cannot recognize the phone and the phone refuse to boot on. What do you advice?

Hello...
My system did not recognize my phone, either. Nor would it boot up... it was bricked. This tutorial is for people who are exactly in your situation. I would suggest downloading the files I have uploaded, and reading the tutorial.

Finally got the process started,...but after 7s I got and error message Reached the end of the file.(0x80070026: Receiving hello packet)
Could it be my PC (win 10 32 bit) problem or what do you think?
This happened to me as well, the first and second time I tried the flash. There is a trick which worked for me... I pulled the battery out and put it back in and while holding the volume 'up' button, I plugged my phone into my computer usb port and let windows install the driver. It took a few seconds and then I clicked 'refresh' on the Miflash window, which I had left on. At this point the 'flash' button became available and I clicked on it. This time the flash was successful. Try it.
