[Completed] Acer A510 Bricked, Any suggetions? - XDA Assist

Hi all.
I have been lurking and reading, now time to post.
Like the title says, I have been given an A510 that did work, until he tried to flash it, and failed............
Tried all the tips to get it to start, no dice.
All I get is "Boot image verified failed" or "Entering boot menu mode, Recovery image verified failed".
I guess the question is, what can be done to correct this, or is it toast?
I have tried all of the suggestions in these forums and other sources on the 'net.
Thank you for your time, and keep up the good work!:good:
David.

Hi David !
Can you tell us what exactly "he" tried to flash ?
Thank you !

Hi
From what I understand, tried to flash Clockwork Mod recovery, with all the wipe options checked, but I would have to contact Steve to confirm.
I am well versed in networking and all versions of Windows ( work in IT part time) but Android is confusing to me
Not sure if that helps.
Thanks.
Dave.

So , when you flash CWM recovery , there are no options to check anything while doing that , maybe he wiped after entering into CWM and maybe he erased everything afterwards
Just ask Steve about what exactly he did and btw , tell him Hi !

Hi.
Just so we are clear, this used to belong to my brother Steve, he has passed on to me as a project.
If I was the one who flashed it and bricked it, I would say so, I am a big boy and have messed up before...............................
Been playing with computers from the Win 3.1 days and have had my share of "mishaps"
Now that that is out of the way, I text him and asked what exactly he did, and he said he was in stalling the Clockwork Recovery Mod, and that is how the tablet ended up in its current state, that is all the info I have.
So the simple question is, can it be recovered or not?
Seeing as it will not boot far enough to be able to access it with USB I am thinking not.
I have the factory downloads for it.
Thanks.
David.

After a quick search I have found this thread , have alook at it , there are some workarounds and also you can post your issue there , good luck !

[Q] what went wrong with my WIFI Xoom update to 3.1 ?? [SOLVED]

[SOLVED]
hello ,,
After successful Rooting,I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609&page=62
I did everything, and everything went as it should,, except for the very very last part,,
on final Reboot, it's stuck on "Dual core" :'(
i didn't flash 3G patch cause mine is WIFI ,, i flashed recovery and went back to it,, flashed the room then the patch then wiped ,, and now Reboot ...
i know you said it's gonna take some time,, but it has been 20 mins ! and it's still there .. what went wrong?
please help
cimon guys ... think!
I'm really in need of some help
You should try the #xoom channel on irc.freenode.net and if that doesn't work (ie nobody there will help you) then I recommend getting a big coke and carefully sifting through all the posts here. There are big warnings all over every one of these guides that says "proceed at your own risk".
Did you try to fastbook lock at the end of your procedures? You may very well need a factory mode cable.

Cant update to JB :(

Hey guys, here is my problem...
I had rooted my note using Zedomax's guide, and installed custom bootloader n all...
First time I tried to do OTA update, it just said 'bad file' < something along that line, tried it again and same.
Then I flashed a different bootloader I found here on the forums <sorry I cant seem to recall the link> and still, the process stops at 24% time and time.
I've tried this for about 6-7 times till now, always fails.
Still stuck in stock 4.0.4, can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

F*** knows why anyone would flash a bootloader .
Read the faqs and guides before playing with firmware .
Try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978840
Essential return to stock is factory reset flash upgrade firmware via KIES or stock firmware via Odin .

Cos people try anything when they have no idea... Instead of reading just a little to find out they will blindly throw themselves off cliffs because the instructions say so....

[Q] Accidentally wiped my system.. Help!!!

1st of all, i am a beginner. Just brought my android ics phone last month. I also rooted my phone by the help of my friend last week. But yesterday i was trying to restore factory settings. But i accidentally wiped my system. And now my phone wont boot. It stuck in BootScreen. Nothing happens then. I dont have the backup of my rom. what to do now ??? Please help!! Sorry for my bad English & Thanks in advance who wanna help me
..
What recovery are you using? Even if you wiped the phone you should still have it running. All you need to do is reboot in recovery mode. Hard to tell you how as I dunno what the phone is.
Before that you'll need to download your stock firmware and put it on the root directory of your SD card if you have one, so that once in recovery you'll actually have something to flash.
If the phone doesn't have a SD slot, then you'll need to use a recovery tool on your PC to flash it.
Right now shut the phone down, remove the battery, find some guides specific about your phone, and read them carefully. There's a reason why we're using recoveries. First thing you should have done is to backup your stock firmware somewhere on your computer or on the cloud, and make sure you knew how to use it if something like that was to happen... Little late for that now.
When you'll know what to do, just mind that you still have enough battery to flash the stock ROM. Come back to ask help here if there's something you don't understand. Good luck!

No problem. Just install this partition manager free. It is perfectly adapted for windows 8. And you are offered a variety of options which can swap/merge/separate new partitions. With a very easy-to-understand instructions, everything is perfect!
Thanks for kindly reply

I don't know how to flash my stock rom. Please refer me to a forum containing tutorial about Flash a Rom.....
Well that's the kick, is it? Most of what I found through a quick search was in foreign language... I do english, french, and a little spanish, but that's it...
I did find THIS quite easily though... My bet is, start from there to find infos... That's all I can do right now to help you, sorry!

[Q] Tf700t update help

Hi, guys and gals!
I'm new to the forums, I had a question to ask and I apologize now if this might be too broad or maybe just a stupid question(s).
So, I have a ASUS transformer infinity, the Tf700t tablet which is on the 10.6.1.14.4-20130329
And i've been looking around to figure how why the hell this thing is so slow!, And over researching everyone seems to ultimately point to downloading custom roms like updating the tablet with these i guess jailbreaking methods.
A couple months ago I managed to unlock my device (when I load up the tablet, when it says ASUS on the top left if says this device is unlocked).
Now my question is, I found this CROMI-X, forum on this website that tells you how upgrade the device, and it keeps telling me to root my device, which I can't seem to find anywhere the most recent on for the build that i am on (10.6.1.14.4), also I've downloaded TWRP and i was suppost to make a recovery img or something a ".blob" and it was asking me to write down the exact name of my tablet and I can't seem to find where that is, and i guess you can say I got cold feet to accept since it said that my device can get bricked, SO my question would be, is there any kind of guide out there with the latest updates i'm assuming kitkat? for noobies like me or maybe a video tutorial on how to do all this.
Cause i literally only have my device unlocked, I don't think i've actually rooted my device.
But yea that's about it, sorry if im asking for too much i thought this would be my only hope on making this tablet worth my while, cause this thing wont stop lagging (i've tried cold booting and restoring this thing like 10 times nothing seems to be doing the trick).
Thanks again

Everyone knows how bad the stock Asus comparing to your Crombi-kk, haha...:laugh:
@lj50036 that you find and take the time to answer questions like these is nothing short of amazing considering the work you put in for this tablet. My hat goes off to you, Sir!
I think we can mark this thread as SOLVED
The Solution
So here is what we did
@duperdavid has his tablet unlocked already....:good:
All I did was help him install fastboot, adb, and Windows drivers which can be tricky.....
We than installed TWRP with fastboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Than we got him a ROM and a GAPPS
Made a backup with twrp.... Than did a full wipe of internal...
Than he did not have a sd card so we pushed the rom and gapps onto the tablet while it was booted into twrp
Code:
adb push nameoffile.zip /sdcard
Than we flashed new rom & gapps
booted into Rom !!!!! Win
We backed up his Nvflash blobs also

Hi,
Please can you describe with more details and clearly what exactly is your problem?
Apparently your device is a Hewlett Packard Slate 6 voicetab - OS: JB 4.2.2
Is your device rooted?
Last operation made ?
Don't forget that you need to be more explicit when you need help

Can you tell me where have you downloaded your rom?
And apparently,you have changed the governor and the frequencies of your kernel.
The only solution is to use your nandroid backup for restore your last version.
I'm really sorry but we haven't forum or thread about your device.
I will tried to find something for helping you

i download the rom from the official HP support..(sorry i cant put the link bcause not have 10 posts)so i attach a screenshot.
i dont have back up from nandroid..im just change it and reboot the device..so i dont have the backup :crying:
yeah i search it but no one in the forum talk about this device
apreciate it for your help sir :good:
You need to post the URL of the HP site. Also, without a backup it's going to be pretty difficult. You're going to have to find the factory image somewhere on the web. You did some pretty serious modifications as Ikuza27 eluded to. Good luck

I'm really sorry but I cannot help you more. I've tried searching a link for a factory image or something that it can help you, but except the HP website for support, nothing.
For your next device, don't forget to do a nandroid backup before to do something.
