[Q] How to recover a bricked A510? Bootloader can't be unlocked!

Hi folks,
I have been using Acer A510 for almost 1 year now, and upgraded 7 months ago to the latest JB OTA. I haven't ever rooted it.
Since 2 days, it can't boot suddenly, stuck with the following error message:
Booting failed
Bootloader vJB-d0ca683: Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After a bit of Googling, I tried to unlock the bootloader, as a way to recover the tablet. But that keeps failing as well:
[ [email protected]: /tmp ]# fastboot oem unlock
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At this step, I can see the unlock icon and played with Vol+ and Vol- to quickly select the "Unlock" option, and this is what I get on the tablet:
Unlocking...
Bootloader vJB-d0ca683: Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And on the computer (kind of error messages that are of no help):
...
FAILED (remote: (Unknown error code))
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So it appears the bootloader can not be unlocked, and I can not even enter the recovery.
I've read somewhere that it may be possible to recover in APX mode.
So is there any way to recover it (either through the bootloader or through APX mode)?
Thanks for your help!

I get exactly the same problem this WE :crying:
I never root/flash/play with recovery or anything else.
Tablet shutdown by itself, then after restart I get trouble to boot :
First the Android said it was unable to start due to encryption : "encryption unsuccessful > need factory reset". Even if I NEVER activate encryption !
I try couple of reboot without suceess, then now it stop on Acer logo and go to fastboot mode at each startup.
Then I have exactly same trouble : impossible to unlock bootloader using fastboot.
No way to flash something.
Need help !

If fastboot is available, you can try to boot CWM Recovery or TWRP recovery
fastboot -i 0x0502 boot C:\....\cwm-recovery.img
From there you can try a factory reset

It doesn't work as the bootloader is still locked !
Code:
FAILED (remote: bootloader is locked.)
And it's impossible to unlock bootloader as describe in the post.
Any other idea ?

You can try to download the full ROM from acer Web Site (GEN1 or CUS1 depending on what you had before)
rename it to update.zip and put it on your sdcard
Reboot your tablet in recovery if you can to flash it, or in bootloader (don't remember if the Acer bootloader can flash an update.zip)

Its 2015 now but i will post this anyway..
Try this
1st, Boot into recovery:
- Press [vol-] + [power]
- Once the tablet vibrated, let go [power] and keep [vol-].
- Now the tablet vibrates a second time, let go [vol-] and press [vol+] quick
- Once the text that appears on the screen ("loading recovery kernel image"), let go [vol+].
2nd, choose "Wipe data cache & factory reset" via volume rocker and power button to select it.
3rd, choose "reboot"
I solved mine using that steps, hopefully it will solve yours.

Thank you very much!!! It worked for me!

So I have tried the above listed technique and it brings up the clockwork mod screen but does not go past it. Any more suggestions?
Thanks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Press "vol-" + "power"
- Once the tablet vibrated, let go "power" and keep "vol-".
- Now the tablet vibrates a second time, let go "vol-" and press "vol+" quick
- Once the text that appears on the screen ("loading recovery kernel image"), let go "vol+".
2nd, choose "Wipe data cache & factory reset" via volume rocker and power button to select it.
3rd, choose "reboot"

After trying many other approaches this one worked for me! Thank you very much!

Hello everyone, it may be late for you but i found a solution for a bricked A510 :
for my part i only had access to bootloader unlock and fastboot, but it didn't communicate with my laptop
So i found a software called DriverHub and launched it with my A510 connected to my laptop
It found the right driver for it (was not the of from Acer or any universal ADB driver) and i could use the fastboot mode to unlock OEM and flash TWRP, and now i have Cyanogen running on my tab who came back from dead
Here's a link to the software : www drvhub net
Have a nice day

Honor 6 brick

Hey ladies and gentlemen,
I am having a serious problem. I tried to root my Honor 6 (H60-L04). After installing Super User via TWRP my smartphone started a bootloop. After I waited a few hours it turned off and I tried to reload it for booting into the download mode (to flash a new firmware via Honor MultiTool). But it still showed me that there is an empty battery and didn't start. How can I unbrick it?
Thanks

do u have solution for this??

To install a full stock firmware follow these steps, if the phone is not booting in bootloader mode try doing this: After a loop gets complete, quickly press Vol UP button and connect the phone to PC, you'll be in bootloader mode.
Download your latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.

I had a similar problem with mine when updating to EMUI 4. What I did was:
- Hold Volume Down while rebooting and Connect USB. It should boot into Bootload mode.
- If you get the Error Screen, reboot the Phone.
- If it doesn't work, hold all three buttons. It should reset the phone.
This actually reset my phone and made it work again. Don't ask me why or how.

You should Unbrick with Honor Multitool. You get to still have your data intact when you do only the first step without the 3 button install. If you don't have a TWRP backup that is. Don't ever install SU or root from TWRP. Use KingRoot or Multitool

If the device is rooted then you'll get install failed when doing three button reset, hence the manual flashing is needed.
The three button reset also fails, if in anyway your system is modified.

Well, my system was modified, and after doing that Three-Button reset twice, it actually worked.
Don't ask me why, it just worked. And I'm actually glad it did haha.

Good for you then, maybe the UPDATE.APP adjusted itself.

Haha, yeah, probably
I'm just happy that my phone is working now.

Yes, sometimes Android does things which we can't understand(or maybe we don't have enough knowledge), so its easy to just accept the outcome and enjoy..!!

Nexus 5 Bootloop + No Power Button + Locked Bootloader + NO ADB -- Recover Data

Hey guys, so I have this dilemma on my hands. One of my friends has a Nexus 5 that has a power button issue. It seemed like a stuck power button, because even cleaning it did not solve the issue. So I removed the power button, and it finally turned on. However, it's now stuck in a Google logo bootloop.
The Objective:
To recover all data on the device. This is a must.
The Obstacles:
- No physical power button, but I can place a pair of tweezers on the terminals on the board to simulate a power button press.
- Bootloader is locked (I can unlock it, but that erases all data on the phone).
- Cannot enter proper stock recovery (I get a "no command" error when I do; I've tried all button combinations afterwards, including the ones from HERE, but to no avail).
- USB debugging was not enabled on the phone when booting normally, so even though the phone is recognized by my PC, I cannot do anything using ADB.
- Fastboot mode is the only successful mode I can reach on the phone.
The Final Question:
Does anyone know how I can successfully recover all the data on the phone using ADB or any other method, having the above obstacles?
Thanks in advance.

If you can reach fastboot without any problem, you can try to boot a custom recovery image using the following command : fastboot boot recovery yourcustomrecovery.img
(if you dont have a custom recovery, you need to flash one with : fastboot flash recovery yourcustomrecovery.img)
It will boot in recovery mode and, I hope, allow you to have an adb access and recover your data.
edit : since your bootloader is locked, i guess this won't work.

I bit of a trick. Try 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img' but instead of kernel flash twrp. After flash do a 'fastboot reboot'. It will boot recovery. Via twrp the pc will recognize phone as a media storage. You will not erase any data

Thanks for the response, but the bootloader has to be unlocked for that to work, and while I can do that, it will wipe the data I need.

Need help! Super soft Bricked stock phone. Tried many methods!

Hi all. So my stock opo somehow got bricked overnight while charging. It's completely stock and I have no idea why.
Status of my problem:
-Stuck on Android boot screen.
-Able to access fastboot.
-Can't access recovery mode
-No TRWP

*USB debugging not enabled (cant enable it cuz i cant go in my phone duh)
-Cm11 33r I think...
-Installed android adb on device manager
But couldn't detect it on the list ("adb devices" cmd)
-Able to detect serial using fastboot device cmd tho.
-Tried universal adp, adb bootloader driver, Samsung adb driver, composite driver and it still won't detect it on list.
-Tried using another usb port.
-computer doesn't detect phone unless I go on fastboot or hold power+up volume for 10 sec (this shows QHUSB_BULK)
-Tried using msm9874downloadtool.exe with cm 11, doesn't do anything even tho it's completed and it's green.
-Tried using msm9874downloadtool.exe with color os but it doesnt work as well, in fact, it made my screen have multiple grey lines vertically across my screen and no fastboot display or android display.
-Tried just flashing Cm11 33r images but it won't work cuz I'm locked.

Tldr;
Phone stuck on Android boot screen
USB debugging not enabled
Phone is not unlocked so I can't flash anything
Thanks for your time and effort. I really need help.

I still need help guys plzzz. Thankss

Have you tried getting into download mode? I think you power it off. Connect to USB and hold vol down? Or vol down + power. Something like that. Once in DL mode, flash it. There's a tutorial somewhere.

download mode? you mean fast boot? power + down doesnt load anything. Power + up goes into fastboot mode.
And i cant flash anything because you have to unlock the phone first. But mine is not unlocked. And i cant unlock it with fastboot oem unlock cmd because all it does it reboots my phone. Yes i checked if im unlocked after that with fastboot oem device-info.

First try to go to recovery by pressing volume down+ power button at the same time and then clear data and factory reset. This will wipe out ur data on phone but u can revive ur device by flashing stock rom using flashing tolls available... Check youtube videos for flashing tools.
Once you clear the data and factory reset from recovery mlde then ur device will be at the state where there is no OS in it n just a stock kernel. Give it a try and let me know

I can't get into recovery. Power + down only stays at android boot screen.

Have the exact same issue. Did you find a fix???

Even if your bootloader is not unlocked you can flash stock rom. Use oneplus one flashtool and flash cm11s. There are plenty of videos available on net for these problem, just go through them or try the hard bricked video to solve your problem. I hope it helps you. I lost my one device because of a silly mistake so i know the pain.

I've tried flashing stock rom. Cm11 33r. But it keeps telling me I'm locked.

put it on fastboot mode, download the stock rom from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
Choose carefully between 16gb or 64
unzip the file and click on the flashall.bat or something like that , it's a script and it will flash everything
and you should be good
you will loose all your data, i don't know if you dont flash userdata and you remove it from the file and remove it's line from the script, maybe you wont loose your data, but try it
if you want i can help you through teamviewer

[GUIDE] How to Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP

First, you’ll need ADB and fastboot, which can be downloaded here. To set up ADB, go to Settings/About Phone/Software Info and tap on build number until you get a toast notification saying “You are now a developer!” You will now have a new category in Settings called Developer Options. Go into developer options and enable USB debugging and OEM Unlock. You won't be able to turn it on if your phone is plugged in to your PC. Once you've turned it on, go to your PC, open Terminal or Command Prompt and type “adb devices”. Then plug in your phone and hit enter. You'll get a prompt on your phone to “Allow connection​s to this PC?”. Check Always allow and Allow. Now run “adb devices” again. Your device should now appear in Terminal.
If you have a SD card, download the latest zips from here and here onto your​ SD card. It'll save you a step later on.
Then you'll need to reboot to fastboot by holding down VOL- and plugging in USB while power is off. Alternatively​, you can type “adb reboot bootloader” in Terminal or Command Prompt.
Next, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. Bootloader unlocking​ will factory reset your phone! Once you're in fastboot, run “fastboot oem unlock” in Terminal or Command Prompt. Now the bootloader is unlocked.
Now it's time to flash TWRP, a custom recovery for Android. It's going to be the way you install custom ROMs and add-ons. Download Official TWRP here. Once you've extracted​ the recovery.zip, run this command: “fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img”. Once the file has flashed, disconnect the USB cable and battery. The next step is important! You're going to need to boot into TWRP for the first time. With the phone off, hold down VOL- and press power until the phone vibrates and the LG logo appears. While still holding down VOL-, release and immediately press and hold power. You should now be at a white screen that says “Reset all data and restore to factory settings?” Use the volume and power keys to select yes and yes again. If you've installed​ TWRP successfully​, it won't actually factory reset your phone. Now you should see the TWRP screen. If you don't see the TWRP screen and instead see a floating ring that says “Erasing”, don't worry. Let if complete and try flashing TWRP in fastboot again.
In TWRP, you'll be greeted by a screen that says “Swipe to allow modifications?” Swipe it, then go to the Wipe tab. Go to Wipe, then Format Data, then type yes, then go to the Reboot tab and select Recovery to reboot into TWRP again. If you're prompted to install the TWRP app, don't bother.
Once you've rebooted into TWRP again, it's time to disable encryption​ and root the phone. Download the latest zips here and here. Skip downloading them if you already put them on your SD card earlier. On your PC, push the files to your phone using the command “adb push path/to/file.zip /sdcard/”. You can drag and drop the file into Terminal or Command Prompt to copy file path. Then go to the Install tab in TWRP and select the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, tap Add more zips, then add the root zip, then swipe to flash. Let the zips flash, then tap the Reboot System button when it's done. Your phone will take a little longer to boot and might reboot a couple times.
Once you're back in the OS, go through the setup wizard. Set up Magisk. If you stay on stock, you should install an app like Quick Reboot Pro from the Play Store to make it easier to reboot into recovery. Now reboot back into TWRP and go to the Backup tab. If you have a SD card, set it as the backup location. You can enable compression if you want. This will make a full system backup that you can restore from as long as you have TWRP. If the backup takes up too much space, you can put it in Google Drive or your PC later on.
You are now ready to install ROMs!

My device will not start boot loader with command "adb reboot bootloader" or with the method of holding volume down and pugging it into the PC, it just restarts and boots like normal. i cannot even get to the stage to use the command "fastboot oem unlock"

I cant get it too boot into TWRP

Please explain more in detail so you can be helped better In what ways? What are you doing to get into bootloader mode? I've never had any issues on my T-Mobile Stylo 2 plus. Are you trying to get into bootloader using buttons manually or through twrp or adb?

You hold volume DOWN and power then soon as screen comes on and you see LG you let go of the power button and then immediately press power again and you never let off volume DOWN. That doesn't work?

Hey there, I've got the LG K530F, is there any chance of unlocking it? I looked up the LG developer website and it's not listed in there, filling that form will just lead to a popup regarding that. I thought about downgrading it back to MM (Android 6.0) using the K350F10d_00_02221.kdz firmware package aiming to be able to run fastboot oem unlock, but I'm afraid of getting it bricked. Anyone tried it? I recall doing something like that to unlock the LG Optimus L9, but that one was way older and had much weaker security measurements.

Can't get into Bootloader
Hi i have a LGL82VL and when trying to use adb reboot bootloader it just restarts, And when using Vol Down and Power it just comes to the factory reset page (Hard Reset)
Any ideas on how to get to the bootloader? i checked with fastboot devices while on the hard reset page and got nothing. Any Ideas?
