[Q] Any development on how to fix a bricked, bootlocked A100? - Acer Iconia Tab A100

I've been using my Acer A100 nonstop since I got it, a month ago the camera went got that fixed at the Acer Service Center. Now the other day I was running too many apps and It was performing sluggishly so I pressed the reset button and It hung on the android logo. Being impatient as I am I tried pushing a Honeycomb update to downgrade it. It hung about 3/4 of the way. Now when I try using any update I'm stuck on the android update error image. I tried doing the Acer factory reset but instead It yielded the bootloader so I was hoping there was some way I could patch it through there. Any help would be greatly appreciated It would suck to have to send it in for repair yet again.

Bricked incredible 2?

My sister pulled her battery on her inc2 and now its in a bootloop. It is not rooted and fully stock. I don't know whether she pulled it during some sort of update or not...but the fact is it doesn't work. It boots up but doesn't get past the unlock screen and at that point it freezes up and reboots. I tried ruu but since its not rooted it cannot accept the file since its not an upgrade over here existing ROM. Is there a way around this? Or does anyone know of an alternative method?...this would not be a problem if it was rooted but unfortunately it isn't.
You'll have to reset. I had this happen on stock many a time.

Did factory reset twice through bootloader..no luck.

Galaxy nexus not booting up

Hi,
I had installed custom ROM developer by @Ziyan 5.1.1. I believe it was AOSP (ROM link) around 5-6 months back. Everything was working correctly.
Last friday night it switched off and since, then it hasn't started up yet. Sometimes the home screen comes but it immediately reboots. It is continuously rebooting and i have to remove the battery from stopping itself from rebooting.
I tried going back to official stock rom 4.3 and used the command fastboot -w flashall and everything happened correctly..atleast that's what it said on the command prompt but it still the phone tries to boot up the 5.1.1 version. It's been a week and i haven't been able to get past this issue. I gave it in the service centre but even they haven't been able to get past the issue.
What issue are you guys suspecting ? Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks,
Adithya
I came back to look here and it is sad to still see phones die this way.. I am sorry dude.. You can try to lock the bootloader and if it is still unlocked upon rebooting the EMMC is fried (internal storage). The only solution is a new motherboard..

Help! Soft brick, but I can't solve

OK, I flashed full Nougat factory image with flash-all bat file, now it bootloops. Tried restoring a nandroid and still bootloops...
Flashing marshmallows factory image, still bootloops.
I can access bootloader and recovery.
I have no solution yet, but I'm on same boat. My phone gets stuck at google dot animation.
I tried adb sideload for almost all Images in nexus stock factory webpage. It installs successful but gets stuck again at same point.
It appears everyone is having same problem. Google forum is filled with same issues. Waiting for something official fix or some genius on xda to solve this.

I can't even get into recovery, only bootloader. Did anybody ever solve this?
mr.gpvecchi "incredibly", the same situation as with me.I just fell in love with this phone :crying:
I hope end wait.
----------------------Sorry for my english----------------------
I bought my phone through Project Fi and I chatted with them and they said I will be able to get a replacement. Also, I just read this: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/89jWX-WVap8;context-place=forum/nexus
Looks like a few other people had the same problem today. Fi support told me "Seen this plenty of times. One of the issues I dislike the most."

Stuck on google logo boot screen after twrp recovery & then factory reset

Hi guys, bit of a saga here so bear with me...and also it should be mentioned I have little experience/understanding of tech stuff, so that isn't helpful either lol
I've had a Nexus 5x running 7.1.2 for not quite a week; it came with an unlocked bootloader (strangely). Tried to do the usual install twrp & root as I've done with previous phones (all pre-nougat) but all attempts failed. Couldn't boot into stock recovery from the bootloader at all, it would just boot into the system. OK, next thought was that an OTA upgrade to Oreo might work to restore a recovery - but got the BLOD (naturally lol). I found a fix in a modded 4-core Twrp 3.2.1 -0 fbe img + workaround injector zip from osm0sis & XCnathan32 which by some miracle worked.
So far, so good. Ffwd a few days and google play store keeps crashing on opening; I had the feeling that some glitch happened while it was updating, so I tried all the usual fixes like app cache/data wipes and uninstall updates/renistall google play, delete google account etc which failed. Next I tried a cache & data device wipe through twrp - also unsuccessful. Finally, I thought the only thing left to try would be to restore a backup I made on twrp - this led to the current issue of not booting, stuck on the google logo screen. I even thought what the hell! and attempted a factory reset with twrp - same result, where I am now. Google logo screen, however I still have an unlocked bootloader.
Would anyone be able to suggest where I might go from here? I'm pretty sure the version is N2G48C, if that helps.
Any suggestions very much appreciated...wouldn't mind getting to the 1 week mark with a functioning phone lol
Saga #2
Still no idea what's going on. I realised that I'd backed up and recovered the system and vendor .img files, which according to this thread would be a cause of the issue https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/stuck-google-logo-twrp-backup-restore-t3320840/page3
So I made another backup without those images, did a full wipe and restored it - still does not boot, still only sitting on the google logo. Tried next to open a cmd terminal to see if I could reflash a stock image, but adb could not connect (maybe because the phone would have been on charging and not file transfer mode?)
Last resort as I saw it was to try the NRT, and see if it would flash stock via the bootloop/softbrick option. Process seemed to be OK, judging by the log - but it did not reboot to the system. Now there is a looping bootloop between the google logo and the unlocked bootloader warning.
Following wugfresh's instructions to factory reset from the recovery (the phone won't turn off via the power button so I just booted straight into the bootloader) Looked for the recovery option, selected....and nothing!!
So there isn't a stock recovery??? How does that work?
And what hope is there for this phone now? (I can't think of anything else )
Anyone have an idea? I've never heard of this before tbh!
Well, my problem has been sorted. In the absence of knowing what the hell I should do lol I managed to get a refund for the phone even though it was a refurb to begin with (something to be said for an honest seller who provides a 3 month warranty!) and I picked up a brand new N5x, which was unboxed on Tuesday. Not even 6 hours into setting it up, the phone started to get progressively hotter and then went into bootloop. Got into the bootloader and tried a factory reset - all seemed OK but halfway through the setup process it bootlooped again. Fortunately it was still within the 2 year warranty, and LG didn't argue about authorising a repair for a phone which didn't get even half a day's use on it lol
Authorised Wednesday, walked into the service centre Thursday and a 1 hour wait later had phone in hand with the PCB/motherboard replaced. Has been working fine (and cool!) ever since. Definitely feel lucky to have hopefully dodged a bullet on this one.
Bonus that they upgraded from 6.0 to 7.2.1 while they were at it; apparently LG considers nougat the "latest" stable version for the 5x.

HELP PLEASE.Is there a way to flash or root AT&T Note 5,stuck in boot loop mode???

HELP PLEASE.Is there a way to flash or root AT&T Note 5,stuck in boot loop mode???
Hi to all
I'm member on XDA for a long time,but I really am a newbie considering rooting,flashing and messing with the phones.
Yesterday ,my At&t Samsung galaxy NOTE 5 restarted by itself and started doing that constantly.Maybe because the memory was almost full so the firmware didn't have enough space to run correctly ,I don't really know.
So I decided to do a FACTORY RESET in order to refresh the phone.I backed all up (it did restart few time while I did that but I managed to finish it).
After I did the factory reset and wiped the cache,I rebooted the phone and that is when the boot loop started.
Once or three times came back and started the phone up to the first settings (I managed to put in my google username e.t.c. but after a minute maybe it freezes and restarted by itself again)
I tried again another factory reset but the boot loop continues.I tried many time to turn it off,it restarted up to INSTALLING UPDATE......then tried to turn it off completely (Volume down+Power+Home button) and somehow I managed to turn it off.
I thought that I can come here and find the instructions on how to FLASH it with ODIN,but I couldn't find the stock firmware for AT&t Note 5.
Then I remembered (and read on internet) that the bootloader on AT&T phones is locked !!!!!
I searched some threads here for at least how to root it ,but I can't find anything clearly.
So I'm asking you for help: IS THERE ANY SAFE WAY THAT I CAN DO FLASH OR ROOT MY AT&T SAMSUNG NOTE 5 (EXPLAINED STEP BY STEP) IN ORDER TO MAKE MY PHONE WORK AGAIN????
I have never before messed with the phone.It has the original stock firmware Android 7.0 Nougat.
And the phone is bought in USA,but I live in EUROPE and have unlocked it ,by buying some code online, few years ago.It was working fine until yesterday.
Thank you in advance guys I hope that someone might help me.

Guys I found here some older version (few months older) of Android 7 for my Note 5 and I managed to do a flash. The flashing went OK I went through settings and after few minutes the phone freezes again and restarts. And then again the same,it works fine for a few minutes,freezes and restarts (I can here the camera working inside sometimes too)...........CAN ANYONE HELP ME REPAIR MY PHONE ,PLEASE ???
Hi again
I don't know why no one is replying to me???
Today I managed to make the settings and power up the phone,restored the back up....the phone is working,BUT the PROBLEM is that it constantly freezes and reboots by itself.Sometimes it works for few minutes and reboots,sometimes it works for 30min and then it reboots,sometimes longer...
What might be the problem? Is it some hardware problem processor ,memory or maybe bad battery? It is older model and I have noticed with Accu Battery that most likely the battery haslowered it's capacity.It drains faster,sometimes when it comes to 15% it drains very fast...
Can anyone help me diagnose the problem?
Thank you in advance
Try booting into Download Mode & flash a new stock firmware if all else fails, assuming u tried a factory reset first with no satisfaction. Guides are everywhere. I HTH

Thank you for your reply
I managed to flash the firmware few times,but the phone keeps freezing after some time and restarts.Sometimes it is stuck in the bootloop,sometimes it starts up to some point,freezes and restarts.
Could it be BAD BATTERY or is it something else?
If it is the battery problem,I will replace it,but I'm afraid that it might be someting else wrong.
What is your opinion?
