I have here a tomtec 7" tablet which recently keeps hanging in boot.
If I switch the device on, I see the android logo, then the tomtec logo, and then the android boot word and there it stays forever. I'm not sure how I can get into flash mode, power on with + button pressed or power button with - button pressed, I tried different things, but I always advances until it hangs into 'android' screen.
Is there someone who knows how I can make again a working tablet out of this instead of an expensive paper weight?
Thanks.

The problem is that I can't get in factory reset mode. For my other tablet it's a combination of volume button + or - when powering up. With this tablet it doesn't work that way appearantly.
The tablet is on the shelve already for a while until I find a sollution. If I remember well I tried something with that sd, but it was not succesful. So the first syep is that I need to be able to break off the boot sequence before the androidlogo appears, but until now no success.

Hey there, so my phone randomly decided to stop working today.
Whenever I put the battery in the phone or plug in the charger, the Samsung screen loads then nothing. This all happens without me pushing the power button btw. Then the power button doesn't work, nor can I access recovery.
Like I mentioned, this all happened very suddenly and unexpectedly. I haven't flashed a rom in awhile so I'm not sure what caused the problem. One tidbit worth mentioning is that my phone would randomly reboot on the rom I've been using, but it wouldn't happen too often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not exactly sure what I should do in this situation. Thanks for reading.

try to be quicker to access recovery, power off the phone. then press the power, vol up, and home then AS SOON as you see the blue text on the left top side of the samsung logo screen let go of the buttons, it should boot into recovery then wipe data factory reset and reboot.

flash this recovery attached with odin by booting into download mode via power vol down and home, wipe data factory reset and reboot
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390212717148635222 (recovery)
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390275921635705049 (odin)
place in pda with only f. reset time and auto reboot checked. it SHOULD only take about 10 seconds to flash. as soon as your phone reboots hold the recovery combo and it should go to it
I can't really access download mode either.
I'll get to the screen that asks if I want to go into download mode, then push the up on the volume rocker, get to the next screen, but then it goes black about a second later.
Thanks for all the help so far though.

kinda odd. never had that happen before. ,maybe you could try to reflash the download mode into your phone using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125(make sure you use a debrick.img http://d-h.st/iEy for att not sprint BTW)
or use a jig. since your phone can still access the boot interface.

Have you done this and then connected the USB to see if ODIN will recognize the phone? it's entirely possible that you are getting into download mode, but just can't see it..
It's certainly worth a try.
i seem to have hard bricked the device and i have been attempting to find a way i can fix it for hours.. i seem to be stuck. Its stuck on the boot animation cyanogenMod logo. I am unable to get into the recovery mode, as well as fast boot mode. i let it sit on that boot logo for hours without anything at all happening. No progress what so ever. Now the biggest thing i am trying to figure out is how i even managed to get this to happen. there was a software update notification that i received, so i figured it may have been the Android L update or something, so without taking into considering what exactly i was agreeing to i accepted, and continued. Let it reboot, and thats how i got to come across this issue. Any suggestions.
So if you hold down "volume up", "volume down", and then press and hold the power button, does it not boot into the bootloader? You may have to hold all three down for 15 seconds or so... Based on the fact that you can see the boot animation, it tells me that your bootloader is indeed functional, so, once booted into the bootloader, you can easily flash the factory images (as per this) and restore your device to working condition.

What I find strange is that it boots to the boot animation -- that means the bootloader has loaded up the kernel and Android is attempting to start. The bootloader loads up before anything, so it is obviously working. Don't know why you can't access its menu though with the 3-key press. Maybe one of your volumes keys is not working properly? By holding those three keys down, it should not boot to the boot animation...
Can you get into download mode? Hold only volume down and press and hold power. If so, then you can use Odin and flash a stock ROM as per this thread.
In any case, if you can't get into the bootloader or download mode, then your only option is using OMAPFlash (as per this thread). That will re-flash your bootloader. If you still can't get into the bootloader menu after that, then there is a hardware issue.
Hi, my device after a soft reset, reboots to the teamwin blue screen flashes black and then again to the teamwin screen. I cant get to recovery mode to restore rom. Any help would be appreciated.

Hold power+home+volume up and down buttons all at the same time until it's fully shutoff. Then quickly press the download mode button combo and reflash twrp

Thanks for the answer but i can't get the device to enter download mode. When i reboot the device (with any combination of keys) it says on top left corner of the screen "Recovery Booting..." and then it enters to teamwin screen loop, no matter what i press.

Thanks for your answer but the same think happens.
Same appened here. After a factory reset its stucked on teamview boot loop.
Anyone got a solution??
Solved by flashing cf-auto-root with odin on download mode.
Just ran into this myself haha. The device is just soft-bricked and I managed to get it into Odin mode (Download). Will let it charge for a bit then either flash stock firmware with Odin or try flashing TWRP again to see if that fixes it
Edit: flashing the latest TWRP worked
Same thing is happening to me. I get stuck in the teamwin boot loop and cannot get into the download mode to fix with Odin.
This all came about after trying to factory wipe the device due to Google Play not working correctly. I'll repost if I have success...
Just recovered my tablet from the same issue. In order to get into download mode, I had to let the battery fully drain. Then, holding the home and vol down keys, I plugged it into the charger. Plugging the charger in while the battery was drained automatically powered it up. After I saw the download warning, I released the buttons and entered download mode as usual. Then I flashed the latest TWRP with Odin.
No other combination of booting or button pressing worked. Trying to enter download with home+vol down and pressing power did not work for me either.
Good luck and PM me if you have any questions about this. I hope I explained it correctly.
I loaded a ROM and now the unit cannot get past the ANDROID logo at start up...
So I attempted to load the factory ROM, but the unit won't now go into recovery mode, it just has a black screen...
Please help me!

While at the Android logo, did you push the reset button and waited for the system to correct itself? This will
happen when you load a fuse-prom the first time.
I have tried both the "RST" button push at the Android logo, and the smaller button that is not labelled. How long do you think it should take? Neither button seems to return the HU to normal, it just sits there at boot logo.
The recovery mode no longer works either, so it appears I am totally stuck!
Thank you for your help so far. Will go and try it again.
OK. Just tried a quick push of the reset button and it did nothing. Retried with a long push and it turned off the screen but nothing else happened. A push of the "RST" button just cycles the unit and it sits at the boot logo again.
Press reset button and power button together
After about 5 secs release reset button, but keep pressing power button
When booting screen appears release power button.
It boots into recovery.

Marius, thanks for the reply. My unit has no hard buttons, so this method won't work for me. I already got the unit into recovery mode ot apply the ROM, but after the unit rebooted the recovery screen is no longer working, it is just black with a few vertical bars displayed top left...
It is truly annoying.

My unit is on its way back to Amazon. Nothing worked at all and I tried every recovery method on here.

Soo.... I messed up and edited the build.prop specificly the ro.build.type property. I tried to enable some debug options without validating if this would be a good idea (hint: it's not).
It seems that this has bricked my phone, the first LG splash screen shows up with the powered by android, and the second animation just keeps loading forever (making the phone very hot). And the LED flashes blue continously.
I did manage to get the device visible in ADB but it tells me that the device is offline so I can't do anything with it.
Tried booting in recovery mode (holding power button + volume down) but it just own't go into recovery mode.
Some extra info of what runs on my phone:
- version H815
- Android 6.0
- bootloader unlocked
- TWRP installed
- Rooted
- XPosed installed
Any idea on what I could try to fix it? (I guess stuck with a brick but oh well).
Thanks!
What do you mean, by it can't go into recovery mode?
Nothing is showing on screen?
Go to downlod mode either use lgup or lg flashtool to reflash the firmware that you are on... Do u remember which firmware you were on ?
Thanks for the replies!

I meant that it just boots 'normally' when I press those buttons, it shows me the first LG logo and the second animation just hangs, whatever I do. I tried all sorts of combinations with the power button + volume down. (Keeping it pressed, briefly letting it go after the lg logo and repressing them).

I don't know exactly which firmware I was on but I can't even get my phone into download mode (same as my other response, pressing volume up doesn't do anything).
The recovery and download mode used to work but I have no idea why it doesn't now...
When booting the phone, hold the power button and volume down button simultaneously, when LG logo appear, push the power button again. You should see the white screen, where you choose "YES" twice. Then the phone should kick you into TWRP or different recovery mode.
But how the hell editing build.prop can mess with recovery and download mode? Sounds incredible

Maybe he has bootloop issue... ILAPO
Yeah I have no idea why the buttons aren't working for me. After a lot of searching I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/soft-bricked-device-t3248144
Which is basicly the same thing I'm experiencing, ADB comes online for just a brief second (kept spamming the reboot recovery command) and got in TWRP and I just flashed another which worked fine.
Odd thing is, even now my phone works I can't start recovery or download with the hardware buttons...... oh well, thankfully adb works as it's supposed to.
Thank you all for your help!
