[Completed] Bricked Softwinner A33.... is there any point in trying any more? - XDA Assist

OK.... I admit I have bricked my device, I know it.... no sympathy required, just a stupid (STUPID) error, :crying:
I had successfully flashed a new ROM to my other Softwinner A33 tablet, (long story, but was removing the Chinese Trojans, Virii and bloatware from my tablet), by using "PhoenixCard" and a formatted mini TF card with the new ROM.
Unfortunately the new ROM meant the wifi wasnt working (But I could use ethernet)... and at last I had gotten rid of the Trojans etc.
I felt pretty smug, but thought to myself...."I know, I'll take a backup of my other identical Softwinner Tablet ROM by using CWM, and if needed I can re-install that ROM to get the wifi working".
So I went and plugged a TF card into the new (unflashed tablet), turned it on and BOOM..... realised too late that I had used the wrong TF card, this was the formatted TF card with the new ROM...... the tablet instantly started installing the new ROM........NOOOOOOoooooooo..... I thought "I'll pull the card out.... it might not have started yet....."
Unfortunately the tablet is now completely unresponsive...... my PC bing-bongs when I plug it in to the USB...... a light comes on under the screen when I turn it on with a tf card in....... but nothing else.......
I have tried, Minimal ADB and Fastboot, but nothing (NOTHING) even sees or recognises that the tablet is there........
It cost £50....... is it possible I can get it to work again??? should i even bother.....

Help with asus tf101. Noobie at work!

I previously had a post on how to flash a new rom onto the tablet because i had done it wrong originally and now i cant use the tablet because it keeps restarting itself. I tried updating the android revolution rom but i clicked on cm9 update instead and now its acting up! It wont let me access the sd card through recovery mode nor through the rom manager app! Someone told me about odin but didn't really explain much else. Any help on how to reset the system through another computer would be really great. Thanks...!

[Q] Goclever R75 (7500) - boot freeze (bootloop ? )

Hello. After factory reset my goclever does not stand up. It freezes at android logo and nothing happens later (no reset, just android logo). I think it might be because after installing apex pro i deleted stock launcher. Device manager sees it as ' Full AOSP on Rk29sdk ' (but cannot copy anything to device) and ADB sees no device.
Is there any way to do something ? Christmas are soon, so i will not send it to service cenrte.

Goclever hasn't published any R75 firmware yet. Also this tablet doesn't have any physical buttons except power switch. On my native language forum was sometime ago rumor that on downside motherboard is switch which combination with power button gives recovery menu. Personally i tried various combinations but didn't worked for me.
Any ideas ?

Hello.
Which version of the device do you have?
7500
or R75
Those seems to be the same but are different.
I have stock android version for both
for 7500 - original, unrooted ( from a Russian site - don't remember)
for R75 - original, rooted ( a dump created by me from my device when I have received it)
Both works, were tested by me on my R75.
The firmware of 7500 flashed on R75 works, but you won't be able to use the capacitive buttons (as I told you are different).
The flash option is very simple:
1. Copy two files on the root of the sd card
2. Insert the card in the card slot of the device.
3. The flashing process will continue automatically.
Just tell me which one you need and a place where to upload the needed firmware. I can do the upload this weekend.
Regarding ADB, hmm... this is strange. I have done the same thing as you (deleted the launcher and restore to default) but adb was working with device in the android logo state.
I'm using Windows 8 and I have installed the device as test ADB device (from windows drivers).
Bye.
Edit:
This is the link for R75 rooted firmware.

Bye.
On the back he have written that he's tab 7500. Soon i will try to flash him with your 7500 image. Hope it will work ^^ Thank you very much.
Everything on first look is working on. Except wifi card, which doesn't turning on.
/update
R75 software fixed it. Don't trust manufacturer anymore.

hello
this may help some one later
to get into recovery if your R75 table wont boot you have to take it apart the button is on the underside of the board behind the screen (silly place to put it) i have being talking to goclever support and more firmwares are going to be added to the site. if you want yours adding send them an email requesting it (one may not be enough ) i have just had this problem and after a month they agreed to take it back and have reflashed it for me
hope this helps someone

[Q] A different kind of stuck

Hey xda'ers, after searching for hours and hours on this forum site I came to the conclusion that there is no awnser to my problem. So this is my final resort.
(BTW I'm sorry if somebody else posted this problem, let me know and I will immidiatly delete this tread).
Okay lets go to the problem.
A little over a year ago I got my LG 3D P920 and it worked just fine. It had trouble qith multiple finger on the touchscreen so I decided to root it and make it a little more personal. The rooting went smooth and flawless. I decided that I did not want to change ROM cause of the danger of getting bricked. Unfortunatly a few months later I put a new ROM on it. Cyanogenmod 10 stable version. I was kind of a newbie, and didnt know this would screw up my 3g network. So I tried a few different ROM but none worked. The problem got worse. My phone didnt recognize the internal SD card so i could not download play store.
To get to the point, I can not turn on my phone anymore. I stays at the LG logo. I can still get into recovery but when I want to install a new ROM from my external SD card it says, E: cant mount /external_SD/.
Its drivin me crazy. Ive tried using Odin and smartflashtool. But my laptop wont recognize my phone. I hear it connect and disconnect al the time when USB plugged.
Please tell me if you guys need more information.
Thanks to everybody who is willing to help me!:good:

Thanks for the tip, tried this method and it didnt work. But somehow my phone recognized the external sd card so it let me install a rom. So its all good now. I just have so fix the problem that it doesnt recognize my sim card.
But still thanks for the suggestion!:good:
If you hear disconnect/connect sound, that means drivers on pc are not installed, so you are probably getting a bad flash. I have never installed CMod, but I am pretty sure driver install for pc is the same. Check part 1, page 1 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753
Then you can follow GrMo's guide or flash Fastboot or use Smartflash or LG Flash Tool or ADB or whatever else.

[Completed] [Q] touch not working, cannot flash img .... bricked tablet?

hello everybody...
i have a (spanish jazztel) i-joy 10" tablet, cortex a7 quad core.
i made a mess with titanium backup and when tried to recover factory settings i realized that i had screwed the recovery data.
system would boot up, tablet would work but with many errors and "stopped working" pop ups.
i looked for a stock rom just to find out there is NONE in the WHOLE INTERNET!!!
then, googling here and there i read about some compatible roms, from allwinner, kalley and other chinese brands.
i downloaded all img files i could find, i flashed them correctly with phoenix usb pro, one after another.
first two worked well except for the cameras, that wouldnt work.
then i tried ICOU10GT firmware, flashed correctly...but touch DOES NOT work, i cannot go any further from welcome screen since the touch screen is not recognized.
i am 100% sure is not a hardware problem, all physical buttons work, screen works but not touch.
since i cannot reach the "enable usb debug mode" option i cannot flash any other img.
when entering recovery mode, if i choose update from adb the tablet is not fully recognized by windows (driver says device cannot start).
i´ve tried sd burning with phoenixcard but doesnt work either, tablet doesnt boot up from external sd card.
is there any way to recover this working-but-bricked tablet?
please help!!!
------------------
if there is not....is there a 100% safe and sure way to commit a "perfect murder" with the tablet to send it to post-service and being able to claim "it just stopped working" and them not being able to see i flashed it? i guess you know what i mean.

Greetings! I came up here to ask for help. My phone suddenly stopped charging after

Greetings! Please help me to solve this problem. I rooted my s7 edge (SM-G9350) (china). Actually i have no idea that it was china made because i bought it online and the culprit suddenly vanished. It only has 4gb of storage so i decided to root it since i cant send it back and refund. It was ok at first. I linked some apps and removed bloatwares using apps2sd. But suddenly it stopped working so i tried to reset my phone because the phone says that there is an internal damage. But i notice that some of the apps and files are still there even i format the sd card using apps2sd and even the phone's formatter. No dice. So, tried to flash it with twrp thinking it would solve the problem but it just added some trouble. My phone wont charge anymore. Only showing the lightning on a battery symbol but it wont charge my phone anymore. please i need a hand here. Your help is truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
