My father recently got an Asus Nexus 7 tablet, the one without a camera on the back, from a garage sale. The tablet was locked, which is reasonable, but what is strange is that i can not factory reset the tablet. There is no option on the lock screen like on some systems and the recovery menu doesn't actually work. I can access the boot loader, and read the info there, however I can not enter recovery mode. When i try to enter recovery mode, the tablet goes to a black screen with the white google logo and a small lock at the bottom of the screen. The lock appears to be in an unlocked state. When i try to connect the tablet to a PC and use the ADB, the boot loader freezes when connected to the PC. Any idea what all is going on here? Any help would be great, as well as some info as to where a better place to post this would be. I can offer more info and pictures if that would help as well.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and they did not allow me to post in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
so, I'm wondering if someone here can help me.
I went to the website http://www.samfirmware.com/
and I can not find the software for sgh-i987, it's like it does not exist.
And another funny thing, when I turn the device on and it goes to the black screen odin sees it's connected, however, when i go to the download mode it does not.
If it does not sound like soft brick here's what i have done so far. I was following this guide: http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide
After step 7 in Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery section the tablet just restarts to black screen with a bar on the side.
Thanks in advance!
Hi All,
I'm completely lost on this one, I want to get help with a bricked device but do not know what the device is, thus unsure where to ask.
I tried to flash CM10 onto the device, but now realise I got something very wrong as touch screen does not work.
Only buttons on device are volume or power, Seemingly i cannot find a combination of these that will go to bootloader, adb nor any other program i have tried will pick up the device, trying with UBUNTU 14.04 and Windows 7 both without success. Gets stuck on a screen telling me about compatibility zoom (all it needs is press ok to continue but touch screen unresponsive).
Its an unbranded 7 inch tablet with an Allwiner A10, attched should be all the photos needed for someone to work out what it is (i hope) as well as one before I broke it of its original ROM build. Has a mini usb connection on it for connecting to PC.
Worst case i want to flash the original ROM back on it, best case I get new fancy ROM working once I can establish which device it is.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I used to own an a7 and was able to find a few ROMs for that tab back when, I'm sure there is something out there for your device but be sure to only flash software meant for your device or there can be serious issues
A great place to ask for help will be in the general q&a forum found here

Best of luck!
Thread closed an thanks!
I have charged it to full, tried entering recovery mode, the screen remains black when doing so.... I can't connect it to my computer because the device drivers always fail to install.. I'm clueless into what i can do to fix this problem, if anyone could help me before I decide to go purchase a brand new tablet, that'd be great.

Please resolve this issue!!
I wanted to try Cyanogen mod (1 3) on my Zenfone 2. Therefore I followed some threads on XDA and 1st first step was to unlock the bootloader.
I followed the method to unlock the bootloader. Which was to download and install some unlocker app. But it didn't work, reason shown was, device isnt supported. I was damn sure that app was for my device model asus zenfone 2 ze551ml.
I was pissed off as I couldn't unlock the bootloader. Which made me curious to find other ways to unlock my bootloader. I saw a thread on XDA forum which explained a method to unlock the bootloader using a tool , that tool is "ZE551ML_Modder V3.2" .
I downloaded it and followed the instructions to unlock the bootloader using "ZE551ML_Modder V3.2". I successfully completed the procedure and disconnected the mobile phone and tried to switch it ON. And there you go, my mobile went into a BOOT LOOP.
I got worried and thought I may not have done the unlocking properly, so I did that procedure to unlock the bootloader again using "ZE551ML_Modder V3.2".
After completing that process for second time I tried to switch ON the mobile thinking it might be ready to install cyanogen mod. But that just ruined the mobile even more. At this time I used XFSTK DOWNLOADER and tried to dump in the Stock rom.
After this my Zenfone 2 literally dead. ->Dosn't go into boot menu/fastboot menu/ recovery mode.
->Doesn't switch ON.
-> no PC detects it!!!
_>> When I switch it ON a screen of death appears forever until i switch it off. The screen looks like a TV. screen when theres no signal with some colors(TV screen without signal will be a dotted in black and white whereas on My mobile it's in color)
I bought this mobile just and year ago, but unfortunately the WARRENTY period was over 4 days before this happened.
I went to Asus service center, they said they will have to change the motherboard and it will cost 70% of the price of my mobile, which is way too much because in that price I can get a new zenfone 2 as the prices got slashed.
I also visited the local repair shops but they are unable to resolve the issue!!
I am very much worried, if any one from this forum resolve my issue then I will be thankfull!!

Hello everyone,
Many thanks for taking the time to read about my problem. I have a ZTE Blade S6 phone and for some reason, it does not bootup properly. I would like to know if it is possible to use ADB commands to copy files from it? Also, what drivers am I missing?
This is the current situation - When I power it on, the ZTE logo shows up with a white background and it is stuck on that forever, I have let it stay that for more than 8 hours and no luck. Have tried the following already:
1. Volume+ and Power button to load into "recovery" mode and tried to wipe cache partition and reset to factot reset - No change and the problem still remains
2. Tried selecting the "bootloader" option, and the screen goes blank. However, on Windows PC it does detect a usb device however I am not sure if it is supposed to show as "Kedacom USB Device" - "Android Bootloader Interface". I tried another Samsung Android device and it does show up on the devices list under the "Android" section.
Could you please help me to restore the Official ROM so that my phone can be used again? ADB command does not seem to detect the device and so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. It will be really helpful to get some advice. Thanks again.
