Original Shield tablet disabled - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi every body!
I have an original shield tablet, also it effected by kill switch.
I try to delete the TegraOTA.apk by following the instruction of @Bogdacutu http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/kill-kill-switch-shield-tablet-xx-t3179489 then it's ok for a month.
But the trouble is when I change the IMEI (successfull) then update OTA3.1.1 via recovery. At this time, any thing also ok, but I did't delete TegraOTA.apk again, then turn on wifi for try to get OTA4.0 directly. unfortunately the tablet was shutting down after one minutes, then automatically boot to recovery before change to black screen . I understood that skill switch is activated!!! Although IMEI different !
Now when connect to PC, it become a APX device, in details http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Nvflash
I try for some of solution but all of them not work. Also solution of @carlompms
good evening,
I received my recall tablet yesterday, before connecting the new one, I installed a new rom, for now I have 2 tables to work.
in the process I do not know what I did my tablet brick in apx mode.
for exit apx mode I connected to the PC, press power button until you hear the disconnect sound on pc(tablet turn off)
Press "Volume Down" -> "Power", hold "Volume Down" and leave Power buttons till device boots
It may work for you too

Then if @Thepiewarrior, if you can read this post, please instruct for me that, how can you clear your trouble before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/help/unlocked-bootloader-rooting-shield-t2995472 tks.
So, after my trouble, every one should remember that, must be deleted the TegraOTA.apk before go to online, then maybe all of solution try to change IMEI may be should't work.
Now, I waiting for some of solution from the expert (such as nvflash...), maybe there're some of member like me...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to fix my aunt's Toshiba Jorn.e touch Windows CE (tablet?) (umpc?) (shi*?) from Groupon. When I hold the power button, the "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen appears, and.. the nothing happens. I've tried update firmware to reset system, but the update doesn't start. Can you help me?
Sorry for my English, but i have to fix it.
When i connect tablet to PC with a miniUSB cable, the system detects device as "SEC S3C6410X Test B/D".

Well, in this device there is a reset sliding button, you can find it hidden below the device, slide this to the left and then back to the right, the device now should shutdown. now press the power button for at least 3 seconds and you will have your device back to life. hope it works for you as it did for me.

When you plug the tablet into the pc via USB and you restart , the device just freezes... You cannot restart it anymore, you cannot fix it with the hard reset mini button... You have can do is wait for the battery to go off and hope the soft will start run normal.
I hope i can install any other ROM like android or something - this tablet soft is hilarious...
Maybe a little late, but for me it worked
There is a method of reflashing the Firmware of the device via SD-Card.
Just run the exe in the zip-file and direct it to copy all files to your SD.
Then insert ist into your device and slide the mini hardware switch from right to left and back. Now turn on the Device it schould now display Toshiba-splash with the little message saying "Updating..." it take some time, but then after a restart you are good to go.
Beware the Update is DELETING all yout Data on the Device even if it is not stored in the Windows part of the flash!
Just remove the " "

Volume + Not Working?

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...

[Q] Nexus S i9020A Bricked due to failing power button - Odin seems the last hope?

Hi everyone,
INTRO:
So the power button on my Nexus S broke. No big deal, I remapped it to the search button and used the volume rocker to wake the device; an option that was embedded in Cyanogenmod9.
Then I upgraded to CM10... since I did that on top of CM9, my volume rocker option was still enabled, but the option is no longer in CM10's GUI.
I had some annoying issue and thought maybe I should wipe my phone; which I did.
Sadly, I realized that my "wake using volume rocker" option was no longer enabled, and there is no GUI to turn it back on.
I then found a .zip package that was supposed to enable the option but, I guess I went too fast, now my phone is stuck on a bootloop.
THE PROBLEM:
Since my power button is broken, I cannot navigate in the fastboot menu to recovery and fix the ROM.
Worst, since the power button is somehow shorted (i.e.: it powers on automatically when I insert the battery) Fastboot is not working properly and my PC never sees my phone, so you can forget about fastboot boot recovery.img
So: boot loop, power button broke, no recovery, no fastboot. =(
I searched quite a bit and found out you could get the Nexus S in download mode and get it to work with ODIN using a USB JIG.
I made myself such a JIG and successfully put the phone in some kind of download mode where my PC sees it, fastboot devices yields nothing *but* ODIN sees the phone!
So a glimmer of hope except for the fact that finding the .tar files for the Nexus S seems impossible...
Thoughts? Suggestion? TIA!
Francis // XC3N
Oh BTW:
-Yes I saw the other posts, but none of them mention the odin files
-Yes, I know fastboot is better; but it's not working and:
-No, I can't see the device on 3 different PCs using 3 different OSes and 3 Different cables when in fastboot mode
I mean by that last line that *nothing* shows in device manager in Win7 or XP and *nothing* shows in lsusb on ubuntu
So unless someone has an idea it looks like Download mode is the only way my PC sees my phone...
My power button done the same thing, I googled around and found a solution that worked for me.
It's somewhere here on xda but I don't got the link, basically everytime I booted into the bootloader I couldn't move the cursor with the volume button because the phone thought I was holding the power button, so I carefully tapped the casing around the power button and rebooted the bootloader and eventually I had control, it took 5-6 attempts to get it going but it did fix the power button for me.
I think it's something to do with the micro switches giving out after a certain number of uses.
Also it started screwing about recently so I just blew into the casing through the power button and it's behaved ever since.
In short, tap it until it works, once you have control of fastboot plug the usb in and your pc should detect it
Hope this helps, Good Luck

Hey MuckyFox thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately, that would've worked back when the power button was flimsy and still working once in a while... I did try the tapping thing but really nothing works... the button seems entirely dead and shorted. I guess at this point I might've to bring it in for repair... if the power button isn't broken then I'll be able to easily fix everything in recovery or fastboot. Sucks because I feel like I'm so close to getting it to work without spending money XD I just can't find the files for odin even though they really do seem to exist.
Allright so I found some odin files which were said to work with the i9020a
I flashed them... at some point it said "RESET!" and then odin no longer saw the device. The device is now not booting at all. FML
So this thread is going to end up like every other similar thread: I went and bought a Galaxy Nexus ;P
For posterity, these are the files you shouldn't flash on i9020A:
BOOTLOADER : Bootloader_I9020XXJK1.tar
PDA : PDA_SOJU_GRH78_85442_SIGNED.tar
PHONE:
CSC : CSC_I9020_EUR.tar
My power button started failing over the last couple of days. First when I would set the phone to standby it would ask me if I wanted to switch off the device, then later on it wouldnt respond at all.
Really weird solution - boot into recovery, factory restore, clear dalvik cache, voila, works good as new! (aside from losing all my settings)
Note, I barely managed to get into recovery. The power button fully stopped working halfway through and I had to take the battery out and try it a couple of times.
Oddly, even during this uber-broken phase, the power button would always switch on the device when fully switched off (not just standby) indicating to me that it wasnt just a physical broken connection.
I've mentioned this before, but a full casing for the phone with all the buttons is around $10 on eBay

You need stuff for SOJUA, and just the fact CSC has EUR meaning Europe in it would scare the crap out of me. Possible you just flashed stuff meant for i9020T and not i9020A.
In case anybody comes back here, I'm just gonna drop this in.

[Q] Recovery mode for Kurio 7S

Hello, I have read a good amount of threads on this site, most have proved helpful in my problems, yet at this time I have not found any thread similar to my needs.
I have a Kurio 7S that needs fixing, it is stuck in a bootloop, I would use the recovery mode to reboot it or reset it if need be, but the power button had stopped working a few days after I had gotten it, we had used the usb port and reset button to turn it on. Now though, none of that is helpful.
I wanted to know if there was a way to use a computer program to open up recovery mode and install a rom, can Android Multi Tool accomplish this?
Not that I've found, but it does seem these cheap tabs have that issue.
The two my nephew's had both had that issue.
I have three press the power button close to the front edge, first plug it in a big of a charge, any different charging cables to rule out bad, and just try listening the plastic to press in you should hear the soft click of the button when it meets up.

Bootloader exception for SM-G930F

Hello,
Yesterday, while my phone was in idle, it turned off and rebooted on the classic red writing on black screen error.
I realize that there are many bootloader exception topics, but I searched and the only one topic I found was on a polish android forum, which I had to translate and that could not help me.
That because the exceptions may be many but I found that error only once.
The error is:
Code:
Bootloader exception
[RST_STAT = 0x1000000]
Exception: do_handler_sync: DABT_EL1(esr: 0x96000010)
pc: 0x8f0221b4 lr:0x8f022170 sp:0x8f10fe60
Phone is stuck in that screen until the battery dies.
I tried to get into download mode (to flash a new bootloader) but every combination doesn't work, it just turn off the screen and then after 30 seconds - 1 minute it reappears.
I read online that may be a mobo issue.
Is there any way to recover the phone, put it in download mode or at least recover the data there's inside?
Thanks for the support
Also having same issue
Have you managed to find a solution to this? I am having the same issue, and this is the only thread I can find which matches what my phone is doing.
Same as you, I haven't recently done anything to modify the firmware, I woke up this morning to find the exception text, and when rebooting via the Home + Power + Volume Down combination it jumps me straight to the same exception screen with no boot logo.
Hopefully there's some information around that can resolve this, but unfortunately I currently can't find it

No, unfortunately my phone is still stuck on that exception red text (not a single green one like the one i found online).
I bought a cheap USB Jig, trying to force the phone in the download mode but it doesn't work, my guess is that since the phone doesn't actually turn off, it can't "jump-start" on that mode (with the Jig).
Online I found that people just kept pressing the Vol Down + Power + Home and "eventually" (after 100+ tries) the download mode happens, but I doubt that's in my case.
The only solution I could find that could help me in the future is that 1. Phone is dead, eMMC and motherboard cannot start. 2. Since the phone could be (difficultly) tore down, the best bet is that you find a data recovery center (not Samsung since as I found out they don't do data recovery, but they simply change everything giving you a new phone basically or they change the motherboard, so deleting everything) or a data recovery specialist so that you could disassemble the phone, remove the memory, and read the content on a chip reader.
In this case maybe there's a chance to recover the simple data you have (photo, video, music, documents and something else that has a recognizable header) but probably everything else is lost.
I would be more than happy to be proven wrong since I'm not an expert but it's been 2 weeks and I received no answers.

Morning.
The way out of this is to flash either the firmware that is on your phone or just the bootloader file (BL) from that firmware. Both options are done via Odin with your phone in download mode. So just to be clear, Download Mode is availble before the phone looks at the boot partition.
So, hold volumedown+home+power (press and hold the power button last in this sequence).
You may notice that your phone won't go into downlaod first time but it should not take more than 3/4 attempts. Do Not release the buttons until Downlaod Mode appears, no matter how many attempts it takes. Keep them pressed the whole time even when it's powering off and on, this is the part people do wrong.

That's it.
But even if I keep the combination pressed the phone doesn't enter in download mode. Usually (and I've seen a good amount of videos) if you keep volume down + home + power pressed, the phone boots up, then goes into the bootloader exception, then it reboots, then it goes into the exception and so on until it gets to download mode. That's not my case. I tried to keep them pressed for 10-15 minutes while it was showing the error and there was no more than one "attempt" (it doesn't restart more than one time per combination).
Keep them pressed the whole time even when it's powering off and on, this is the part people do wrong.

The fact is that it doesn't power off and on multiple times, but just one time.

Ok forget that one for now.
Try the following.
Boot phone so the error appears.
Then just press and hold the Home button only until the Android robot appears on screen.
Now press volume down+home+power and it should after a few seconds reboot into downlaod mode, if it does just repeat the process from the start.

I'm guessing my phone is one of the older version. Pressing repeatedly the Home button or holding it should trigger the "forced upload by key pressing" with the android logo (as i've seen in videos and images), but mine doesn't.

OK, the only sensible conclusion is that your phone has suffered some sort of hardware failure, its isn't unheard of. It'll likely cost you more to diagnose and repair than to buy a new S7 since their really cheap now.
It may be worth just looking to get your data recovered, which will be cheaper.
I'm not a fan of changing the mother board it's messy and the phone will never look perfect.
What country are you in?

Italy.
I honestly don't care about the phone, it has not sentimental value or something. Since I read here, on reddit, youtube and online that there were method like keeping pressed the combination, pressing the home button repeatedly or holding, using a jig, and others maybe someone knew what could I do to restore it. The weird thing was that I wasn't flashing anything nor using the phone, so the hardware failure option may be plausible.
The recovery of data (and I tried when I wrote my last post to re-use adb, maybe i was missing something but the phone is "recognized" by the computer but not with "adb devices") is the only solution I can think of, and there's the chip-off method that could at least recover the major data (photos, videos, documents). If there's anything else I'm all ears.

Pressing the power button for even a minute doesn't trigger anything. I assume that you're talking about the upload mode activated by holding the home button or pressing it repeatedly, showing the android logo and having adb recognize the device to then flash something or recover something. That is not my case, it doesn't happen to me unfortunately.

I have the exact same problem. This is the closest thing I could find on the internet I could find regarding diagnosing it. Had to make an account just to reply. I was thinking it was a OS problem for the longest time, but I suspect that it may be a hardware problem after all. My s7 did this to me the morning of Jan 9. Set it down and came back to it, reboot with bootloader error, red text only, no combinations of buttons work etc. I see that two others in the thread had theirs fail around the same time as well.
Just wanted to update, not sure if anyone is still reading this thread. I plugged my s7 onto my old laptop (windows 7). My laptop recognized it and installed 2 drivers. They are:
"SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device"
"SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem #2"
I've plugged into this old laptop before and transferred files around, so it doesn't seem to make sense to me why it would install these drivers now. It still doesn't show up in "My computer" at all. I believe normally it shows up in "My computer" as an empty folder when charging although I don't recall 100%. Hopefully this might help with diagnosing this problem.

Probably it's because when it's in recovery mode, in download mode or this (bootloader) "error mode" it's recognized differently by the computer, to be recognized by ADB and Odin to flash roms and others. Instead when you plug it in when it's on, it's recognized to transfer data, and I believe when you swap MTP (for normal data transfer) and PTP (using the camera) you should also installing different drivers.
Anyway, I noticed too that the device is recognized differently than usual, and differently when rebooting it with the cable plugged in. (Also the name of the device is different when using the 300k tool, in fact my device is recognized as a "Modem")

I was wondering if you installed any apps recently and how full your internal memory was. I believe my phone was around 90% full of the 32GB, had no warning symbol about how full my memory was though. Friend was saying I should of got a warning if my memory was getting near capacity. I installed F-droid recently and used it to download Adaway app. Deleted F-droid and deleted Adaway since I couldn't get Adaway to work. Never rooted my phone. I was curious if you also did anything similar to what my phone did since we're in the same boat. Otherwise the only things we share in common is we set it down and it reboot with this bootloader error.
