i have a a100 with the latest flexreaper rom installed and im stuck with a pretty serious issue:
a couple of days ago the tab was acting real slow and sluggish and getting bad battery life didnt think nothing of it so i just rebooted a couple times and left it alone . all was good untill the battery hit 10% and i plugged it up using the factory ac adapter. the next day (maybe 6-7 hours later) i went to turn it on and nothing no vibrate no screen flash nothing; other than the power button turning blue as i pressed it and it would stay on for a couple hours but still no other response from the tablet.
im at my wits end on what could be wrong and now i got my wife with her foot on my neck till i get it fixed. can anyone help me?
ive tried to do a hard reset with the reset button tried to boot into recovery /bootloader no dice
(also my home button flashed a couple time i pressed the power button) dont know if its relevant but wanna get as much info out as possible
wondering if anyone can help me...

It may take awhile for someone to see this and form something to try, random bricking for no reason is rare, its almost always some error by the user. However have you attempted adb connection to it? Leave it powered off, connect to the PC you used to unlock the boot loader then power on. Does the PC make the USB connect sound? Does the Acer vibrate? Did the home key blink again?
It really sounds like your boot partition is wrecked which wouldn't normally happen outside of flashing. If boot loader is trash then it won't know what to do and just sit there. No recovery or anything else.

it made something like the connect sound but instead of the regular duh doom sound it did a dadadoom (kinda hard to describe the sound) but it was faster than ive ever heard the connect sound before which is weird. the tab didnt vibrate and it seems the home button blinks when the tab is dead and needs recharged

Yeah I know that sound it means USB connected but error for some reason. Its been shown if this thing dies all the way down it wont read the battery correctly and probably needs to be sent in. Before that I personally would unplug it open it up and remove the battery for awhile, maybe an hour then put it back and plug it in. But thats me, not the advice I'm giving. If you have warantee on it use that.
The batteries on a lot of devices and laptops etc have something of a fail safe, if the voltage drops below a certain point it trips to prevent cell damage, however it renders the battery useless.
I haven't searched out much past that if a reset is possible by us, but it seems the pack is trash after or needs sent in.
Since this is a sealed unit you void warranty opening it (well unlocking the boot loader did too) so you can't send it in for repairs without paying for it.
I hope someone can jump in and help figure this out, and prove me wrong.

Weird, This exact same thing happened to me. Used it in the morning and now after work it won't turn on. I had already tried disconnecting the battery, but hadn't thought to leave it disconnected for an hour. My tablet has been running the leaked ICS since it came out and The last factory reset it had was about a month ago. It was working fine up until this. The power button seems to be responding correctly, the issue is that after the LEDs light up, there is no vibration or display. I hope someone can help us with this issue.
EDIT:
It won't connect in ADB mode. It will only appear on my computer as an APX device and since there is no vibration I am unable to boot into fastboot. Any help or suggestions? All the threads I have found have involved booting into fastboot.
i am also having this problem. i set ti backup last night to save to box i turned it on this morning it.worked set it on the charger came back to a frozen screen. I turned it off now just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen
same thing here.

I have been using ICS the leaked one, and last night I was goint to check my email and it did not turn on, I though the battery died. I plugged to the charger and this morning I tried to turning it on but it failed. I did the reset pin but nothing. I connected to the computer and it was recognized as a APX device and installed a driver ACER Picasso USB recover but i cant access anything. I am a nob. Thanks
A100 blackscreen
i am also having this problem. last night. just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen. :crying: Help!!!!!!
Has anyone tried holding the power button for a while? Laptops do this too, if someone felt ventures, try taking the battery out and hold the power button. No promises, might work.

Having the exactly same issue, here...
I also tried to hit the hardware reset button and it does not help.
If the screen is blank while powered on its in failsafe mode, in other words is bricked, has to go to Acer.
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
This just happened to me a few weeks ago as well. If you are still under warranty send it in to Acer, thats what I did. I just got an email saying they had fixed it and were sending it back for free!!
At the time I was on the 9/02 JB build. I wonder if this issue is caused by faulty hardware or if it is an issue that was made by rooting and unlocking it? I don't know enough about this stuff to answer that though, but it does make me think whether I should root/unlock it when I get it back or leave it stock.
Also thanks Pio_masaki for helping me a few weeks back wasn't sure if I was even going to send it in until you said they most likely won't be able to tell.
I highly doubt they even CARE when sending these in. They will void for physical damage most likely.

Ohmygod,
Same here, but it's 3 years ago. Sorry for digging the topic. Still no hope? I still keep the tablet and have just buy another refurbished mainboard to replace but still no vibrate and blacksreen still there.
I have searched and searched for three nights already. I actually opened the kindle in fustrsation hoping it was only a lose cable or something. No luck. My kindle was running ICS and one night it turned off. I plugged it in the charger and called it a night. In the morning I turned it back on but no go. And its been like that ever since. I have no idea how to get it to connect to my laptop. I tried everything and anything I found here and elsewhere online. Everyone says to connect or put on boot mode or something. But I have no idea if the kindle is even on or not. It just has a blank screen and thats it. I tried using the various tools such as kindle unblock utility and kindle utility but there useless since I can't connect the kindle cause i don't know if its on or not. Then I tried loading the drivers that came with unbrick utility but it says something about driver is unsigned. Scoured the web for an answer to THAT dilemma and nobody has a real solution. Seems every solution starts with, "connect device in fasboot or slow boot or snail boot" but the whole point of seeking a solution as far as Im concerned is cause the device DOES NOT CONNECT OR CANT CONECT TO ANYTHING!!!! Im at my wits end. Its three in the morning and my wife is on her 5th dream...again this week!!!! Please help!!!

you need to use firekit.
it allows you to boot your pc of a linux usb live pen drive with some tools preloaded.
all you need is to shortout a contact inside kindle and insert usb cable into kindle at the same time.
ill post a link in a minute. just follow the instructions exactly and i'm sure it will bring your kindle back to life.
hope this helps

I was in the same situation as you were, i messed up my KF but was able to revive it using the USB Firekit (link in the first reply you got), just follow it carefully. This will require you to open up your KF.
Dont despair, it will work
if you have probs with firekit.
post as much detail as pos of what you've done and where you're at in the process.
its not too hard as long as you follow the post to the T.
let us know how you get on.

do you know what 3.0 kernel version you had installed. if it was #10 or lower follow the instructions below. my kf did the same thing and it's any easy fix. most likely your kf's battery is completely utterly dead.
NOTE: this may or may not work depending on what the kfu or unbrick utility did without you knowing.
1. plug your kf into the wall charger.
2. press and hold the power button until the light comes on. if this happens it will boot to a black blank screen but you will notice the backlight is on. let it sit this way overnight.
3. after it has sat overnight, unplug it from the charger and hold the power button until it powers off (light will go off as well ass back light lcd)
4. hold the power button until it comes back on. let it fully boot. you'll notice the time and date are incorrect.
5. power off again
6. download hashcodes newest 3.0 kernel #12
7. power back on and boot into recovery.
8. flash the newest kernel you downloaded
9. wipe dalvik and cache
10. reboot normally.
you'll then need to reset the date and time and you shouldnt have any problems after that.

I have it working now. But one issue. The Kindle boots up normally now first into FFF then to android. Everything seems to be working fine except my battery shows 0% charge all the time. It does not charge. I unplug it and immediately shuts down. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? By the way, thanks for everyone who helped or contributed some input. By the way if anyone wants to know the method that work led was the Firekit method using Ubuntu Linux and the short test trick. I tried it several times even had some help on Teamviewer from a very helpful member. But after trying as few commands, it finally booted to the yellow triangle and after that I went to recovery and reinstalled CM9. So yeah everything seems to work now except the battery basically acts like its not even there.

Just flash FFF 1.4a, plug it into a USB Port on your computer, and take a nap. It should charge enough that you can reboot into your system and let you continue charging it normally.

KFU is for the original kindle fire. Go post your problem in the KF2/KFHD QA. Most likely you have bricked your kindle. And factory cables don't work on that kf.
Whew. Didn't have to do anything elaborate on mine. Someone unplugged the wall wart and I didn't notice it for a few days. Held the power button for a minute or so as suggested above. Then tried a normal power on. That worked :good: Now I have it sitting in TWRP at 1%. When it gets over 10% I'll reboot into the OS.
THANK YOU!

THANKS! I thought..what the heck.. I will try what you suggested and it worked!
I recently acquired a damaged Kindle Fire. (I'll refer to it below as the 'new' one, even though it is, like my others, used.) The obvious damage is to the screen: it has a fan of cracks on it. However, touch fully works, so that is not my problem.
The problem is that, although the USB port works for charging, I have not been able to establish any USB connection with my Mac. I have other KF's which work with the same connection methods that I have tried without success on this new one. This includes using both regular and factory cables. Nothing works to get the computer to see this and when I start with the factory cable this Kindle just boots normally rather than stopping at the bootloader screen.
This new one has the stock ROM, version 6.3.1, and I have not dealt with any stock ROM since last winter, so I might as well be a noob in that regard. There appears to be no way of turning on ADB debugging, but I doubt that would help anyway, since the Mac's System Profiler doesn't see the KF at all, regardless of what I do.
I do notice that the USB port seems a bit loose and that the cable plug end can move from side to side a bit more than it does on other KF's, but holding it steady in various positions doesn't help.
So, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do with the software that might solve the problem or at least let me get fuller use of the KF, including rooting it and loading apps, without opening the device and repairing the USB port.
Suggestions appreciated.
Hi!
First of all i got AOKP + Franco kernel for 2w without any problem and I didn't change any option since last week.
This morning i rebooted it, it switched off and it didn't start again.
I cannot switch one my nexus again since then. I have always a black screen, also if I try to enter in download mode or in the recovery.
I tried to connect to my computer and smt times my laptop see a omap4400 (i'm not sure about the name) but after few second it disappears.
Tomorrow I'm going to the service center... But I have a big doubt:
What the hell happened this morning?
Thanks
Remove the battery for 5 minutes and try again.
If that doesn't work,
Follow this guide:
1. Download the zip file from http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634...eeeee-1465412/, created by Legija
2. Extract zip to whatever location you're comfortable with (I used Android directory)
3. Open up Device Manager (Hold down Windows Key, press R, the type in devmgmt.msc and press OK)
4. Go to actions menu, select Add Legacy Hardware
5. Choose install manually, then have disk. Browse to where you extracted the zip, select the 'inf' file in usb_drv_windows
6. Choose OMAP, you'll get a popup if on Win 7, continue anyway (driver not signed)
7. Once completed with driver, pull battery out of phone, then plug it into USB
8. Double click omap4460_tuna_hs_pro.bat to start the process
9. Once completed, unplug from USB, put battery back in, and power-up!
10. Extra step - depending on what's been done, it may 'brick' again - suggest to do a restore or a wipe reinstall afterwards to be certain (mine bricked again next reboot)

I'm having the exact same problem. I saw my phone at maybe 10% battery in the AM, said screw it and let it die, woke up this morning and plugged the phone in and nothing. No LED light, black screen, completely unresponsive. I've tried every trick in the book, and the only one that seemed to work marginally even was using a different battery, which got my phone to boot to the encryption screen, but then shut off again. It did that twice, and now both batteries are useless.
I used Legija's program to try and bring some life back to my gnex, even though it's not the international version, just in hopes of getting some of my data back (I have already started the replacement process with Verizon since the phone was insured), but I got no luck there either.
It's extremely disappointing and annoying to me that this phone survived all sorts of ROM installations (I was also using AOKP on 4.1 if someone wants to start making connections), reformatting, tweaking, almost every setting on that phone was modified by me.
Not only that but almost any software or hardware problem I did run into I could solve in maybe an hour, but I let my charge run out and the phone just up and bricks itself? Now, that's just bull****... I would be very curious as to an explanation as to WHY on earth this would happen. Very confusing.
Not to hijack the thread, but my interest here is not restoring the phone to working condition but just seeing if I can pull my data off of it. I wouldn't even be posting here had I been able to have an SD card with my gnex, which I figured was unnecessary at the time I bought it since I knew the space on their was enough for me already, and the added branding of "Nexus" brand which had me under the impression it was maybe stable enough by itself. Not a mistake I'll make again..
Is it at all possible to get the data off of my phone at this point? At least partially? I believe encryption makes it impossible but I'm rather stubborn. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

So just to be clear... You've been able to get it to boot all the way up to the encryption screen, right? If so you should be able to get into fastboot (Holding down BOTH volume rockers and the power key.) From there you could relock/unlock the bootloader to do a full factory wipe which might solve your boot issue.
As far as the data loss from the wipe, you could then try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

I was able to get it to the encryption screen with my old battery that had a little bit of charge left in it twice, but it shut itself down on me both times. So now both batteries are useless.. I took it to the Verizon store hoping they would maybe try one of their batteries, but they just called customer service and told me they're just going to replace it at this point.
I have a feeling the charging mechanism is somehow damaged, because when I did get it to the encryption screen I had it plugged into a wall outlet and it wasn't charging at all. So, I can't turn the phone on whatsoever anymore.. if I could turn it on I could solve this problem... but it simply refuses to boot. The closest I came to interfacing with it was the OMAP Flash script, which did work, but didn't fix the problem.
So maybe if I could get the phone working enough to use ADB with it I could get my data back, but not even that seems possible..

If the phone isn't charging then there's something wrong with the USB port. One way to test that would be to use a battery charger. Also, try a different cable. I've had issues with a few different cables that for whatever reason started to not fit properly in the phone.
If you're USB port has gone bad then you'll need to either A) Always use an external battery charger. B) Get a replacement. C) Fix it yourself (Good guide here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairi...+LTE)+Micro+USB+Charge+Port+&+Main+Mic/9641/1 )
Hi everyone,
first off, I've spend days now trying to find a fix. If I've missed anything, I'm sorry, it wasn't for lack of trying.
Here's the situation: I have acquired an HTC One X earlier this year which has worked quite flawlessly. I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery. However, since I handed the phone off to my not-so-techy sister I did not use a custom ROM, and after the HTC update failed with the custom recovery I reversed that as well. The device should now be stock everything with unlocked bootloader.
After a few months my sister encountered heavy problems, though. She described them as battery related (wouldn't turn on correctly) and eventually she moved to a new phone. Now I have gotten the device back and I am trying to fix it. After charging it I managed to have it boot once. However, I but it to the side and wanted it to load some more. Ever since then the screen doesn't come on. The charging LED seems to work fine (eventually switched from red to green, too, indicating that the device is fully charged) and the button backlight still works, too. Most significantly though, the device is recognized as MTP device in Windows: I can access all the data in the storage without problems.
I have read that there is an issue with the HTC One X and the display connector so eventually I went ahead and took the device apart. It's lying in front of me now in pieces, but I still couldn't get the screen to come alive. The obvious conclusion would be to buy a new screen but the device doesn't feel like it's worth the investment. Besides, I would like to know for sure that it's the screen before I do anything.
So I turn to you guys and ask if you have any idea how I could access the phone via my computer. I tried to boot it up in bootloader mode but due to the strange standby methods HTC is using and not seeing anything on the screen I haven't been able to do that yet: Whenever I connect my USB cable it's recognized as MTP device, not ADB. Debugging seems to be deactivated so that doesn't seem to be an option. Does anyone have any idea how I could get the phone to talk to my computer (i.e. get into the bootloader or ADB screencast for sure)? With my Galaxy S I could simply plug in this dummy micro USB and would be sure to end up in download mode.
Any help is appreciated!
tl;dr: HTC One X screen is dead but LEDs work, is recognized as MTP device. How to make it talk to the computer?
Thanks,

Alright, sometimes just posting stuff like this helps already. I was now finally able to get the phone into fastboot (apparently) and it's reacting to the fastboot commands. I suppose the next step is to load CWM and connect via adb. This way I can at least do a factory reset.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding the original issue with the screen? Especially since it does seem to work occasionally. And doesn't show any fragments...
Can I enable USB debug mode from within the recovery to work in the system?
