If theres power its not bricked. meaning theres hope for you yet. Follow the link at your own risk but what else do you have to lose right? keep us posted.
Btw... Wrong *cough* section *cough* *cough*
sorry about the wrong section guys!!! i really am.
I have tried RUU and every time i run it, it gets to the end and says no phone connected even though it shows the ADB and a bunch of letters and what not after it showing it saw a phone.
I can boot into bootloader and or fastboot but not recovery. and i cant get anything to push over via adb when i get to those screens.

Grab the latest pc36100.zip and put it in the root of your sd card.
Hold volume down +power till it loads bootloader. It'll load the stock rom back automatically and youll be fine. And dont root friends devices cuz as soon as they screw it up they'll blame you...trust me

If you're not comfortable, don't do it. In this case, I wouldn't even do it even if I felt comfortable. Quit while you're ahead.

If you had an issue trying to root the first time it might be a good idea to let him root his own phone. If you root a phone you understand the process he doesn't. What if you break it for good you have an extra $450 laying around?
I used YouTube and just dl the exe and that was that. Rooted and happy .my two cents

Hey all,
This is my official "first" post. I rooted the A100 while it was on Honeycomb. Everything was fine. I got an ota update and updated to 3.2.1. Rooted it again and everything SEEMED fine. I got the ota ICS update and the tab would hang at the green android and give me a "!" after about 5 seconds. I fiddled with the update for a while and took it to a friend that knows more about this than I. He proceded to try and unlock the bootloader with the ICS unlock, while it was on Honeycomb. Now my tab is bricked with the green Acer logo, it will not boot. I have no access to recovery, fastboot, adb, bootloader. I can get it to APX mode. I tried to NVflash it, but when I use any NVflash commands, device manager just kicks my device off and the command doesnt execute. I cant use the EUU, because it keeps telling me my CPU ID is wrong, even though I KNOW its correct. I have searched the forums and sent PM's to everyone that has experienced this and fixed it, but no one has answered. Could SOMEONE, ANYONE, PLEASE help!!!!!!
Thank you in advance!!!!!
Cory
Really
No one out there has any insight into this? Ive seen that there are a couple people in the forums that have fixed this issue, but in their posts it doesn't really describe how because they were being PM'd. PLEASE, any info would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Try using the search on the forums, it's been discussed several times and the only way to fix it currently is to send it in to acer for repair and hope they replace it with a different board that the euu works with. Please stop posting this same question when its been asked repediatly already there are 4 separate posts with this same question being asked by 3 different people

OK
I have searched the forums for the past I cant tell you, how many hours. I have looked and looked and in one forum, it looks as though someone fixed this issue because they were able to somehow get to fastboot. I would not just post this on here without my resources having been exhausted. The problem is, in EVERY FORUM I CHECK, the answers and such are PM'd to each other! I have even PM'd the people that seemed to get something working.......to which I have received no reply. Ive seen the posts on this, Ive tried NVflash, I tried to boot holding EVERY combination of buttons, EUU doesnt work, because of the CPUID being "wrong". I have done my research, sir. Please PM me if you think I have wronged you in some way by posting something in a forum meant for helping others, instead of putting me on blast because you think Ive been lazy and not searched the forums.

can you boot into fastboot mode?
dunno
Im not sure if I can get to fastboot. There are a couple of people that, it seems, could get to fastboot and APX. Could you direct me on the ways of getting to fastboot? Adb doesn't work for me. Only APX mode. It boots to the green Acer logo. When I try to get to recovery (VOL+PWR), it hangs and will not go to recovery.
Sorry for being short earlier, Im just so frustrated with this. Ive been researching this issue for DAYS. (NVflash, APX, bootloaders, adb, etc....) No progress on it. I even have a DEV friend who may try to decompile the EUU and see if he can force push it to the tab....he just has to find the time. lol
done
At this point Im willing to use the tablet for target practice. If anyone wants it, to mess around with or whatever, you can pay for shipping and keep it.

If you and orient fastboot and has the bootloader on the A200 prepare to unlock and install cwm recovery and is saved
hard-resset first try with the buttons
1 tablet off completely its
2 lock button on the screen is right
3 hold down power and volume - that is left
4 when the tablet vibrate release the power button and quickly move the screen lock button to the right and left without releasing the volume -
5 your tablet should start
but it works I say and try fastboot
I dont know if the boot loader is locked or not. I cant flash cwm because I cant get to recovery/adb/fastboot/etc. I tried the hard reset and the tablet hangs on the green Acer screen after reboot. NVflash doesnt work because ???, device manager just drops it when I try to send commands and nvflash says something about not being able to write to usb. And yes, I have the Nvidia apx drivers installed.

are you able to get fastboot going?
if so try to flashing a custom recovery from thor 17 ( google it)
i had a problem like this and was able to fix it by flashing the leak isc rom through this recovery. it might be worth a try.

Hello everyone,
Here's a video I created to walk through my problems.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyTFmDCAa3w&feature=youtu.be
I'm stuck. No idea where to turn from here. I would LOVE to be able to talk to someone. I have a factory cable, but still not able to get into fastboot. I have TWRP installed and made a backup of my original Kindle software.
I"ve already tried EVERYTHING suggested and nothing has worked. I've gone to the following links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747804&postcount=3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
I've read every word and understand it to a point. I think I'd be able to work it all out of I could get to the fastboot. I'm not completely clear on all of the vocabulary and that's what's probably screwing me up.
My email address is [email protected]. If somebody could email me and I'll send my cell number and we can talk, I think I can get this up and running. I'm more than happy to pay for the service or donate to a developer of your choice. I'm just completely screwed at this point and I'm beyond frustrated now. Thanks for looking and hopefully somebody can help. -Jeff
I remember the instructions for the skorpn factory cable says to plug it into your computer first and then your device. Make sure you hold the power button for 20 seconds to shut it down first.
I just read through more information. I don't think this factory cable is even getting me into fastboot mode. What's my screen supposed to look like if it is in fastboot? I can't find any info on what that looks like.
Looked at your video you need to fix your bootloader its somehow broken your not getting to the fff screen I could be wrong but best from what I observed in your video this is the closest to your issue. Someone correct me if Im wrong but this is a job for firekit.

You're fine. I watched your video. The first time you plug it in, I think you hit the power button with your forefinger before you plugged it into your computer and the KF booted normally. When you turned it off, back on again, and then it got "stuck" on the "kindle fire" logo... that's what's supposed to happen with the factory cable. Your KF should now be in fastboot mode. Now you have to get your drivers working so that the computer sees the device properly and you'll be able to issue fastboot commands.
Look at this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2
compare what you get in the device manager with the table in the middle of that post. You should be seeing "Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface" in the list. Then it's a matter of opening up the Windows command prompt program and sending the KF some fastboot commands to have it boot into recovery. That's in one of the posts you already mentioned in the OP.
EDIT: My bad... that should be "Android Phone -> Android ADB Interface"... no "Composite" in there.
This is new...I now go to the Device Manager and it shows under the main "Martin-PC" I now have "Android Phone" with the "Android ADB Interface" nested underneath it. I don't think it's going into fastboot mode like the factory cable is supposed to do. What is it supposed to look like?
Unfortunately Jeff it is but I really wonder about your situation because your not getting to the fff bootloader but you may be getting to the stock one . So get it where your just looking at the kindle fire logo not the pissed of unicorn go to kfu shift+right click on the tools folder choose open command window here then type fastboot devices post the results here if any
Try using the fire utility and click I think #1 or boot options make sure it says the device is online. Then hit the normal boot option I think your stuck in fast boot that is what happened with me. Use a regular cable make sure you have the drivers.

I don't want to discourage you guys from trying to help people here who find themselves in trouble, but please try to understand the problem before offering guidance. How can you fix something without understanding the situation?

The system software on his device is broken and will not boot. Setting the bootmode to normal with KFU or otherwise doesn't fix anything. That would just put him right back into the situation he's trying to get out of in the first place. He doesn't want to get out of fastboot mode the way you're suggesting, he's trying to get into fastboot as the first step in flashing a new ROM.

The OP and his followup posts show that he doesn't know if he's even in fastboot mode. Your question doesn't even make sense in this context.
Guys, this post isn't meant to chastise you for trying to help. Just don't throw out random things to people who are already flustered and confused as it is.

Did you fix your KF?
Alright guys, so I tried using KFU on my 1gen Kindle Fire. I selected option 2 right off the bat and I'm guessing I should have hit option 1 and booted into fastboot first lol sorry I'm a noob.
Well now the Kindle will turn on but it will go directly to the "Kindle Fire" white and orange logo and do nothing else. I've let it sit here for like 10-20 min and still nothing. I've also tried using a couple different tools and methods (firekit being the last I tried) to no avail.
Any help would be amazing guys! Thanks so much for everything you do already.

Yeah, I'm actually reading that right now haha. I believe I'm stuck in fastboot but I don't think my computer has the fasboot drivers so I'm looking to get those, download those and see what happens from there.
I'm not looking for a hand out , I'm working on it myself as much as I'm asking for help I promise.

UPDATE! Alright I got it back into Normal mode !!! All by my self too really. Thanks for that little link though, if I hadn't already been searching that would have helped me out a freaking ton! Now it's time to get down to business.
UPDATE 2! Haha, alright well I'm trying to use KFU but it doesn't seem to be working well. I just put it back into fastboot mode and now it's pulling the same **** over again. All I wanna do is root this thing... Any help?
UPDATE 3! So not that any of you really care but I got a new recovery on it now ! Working on FFF and then rooting it!
Are you just trying to root it or do you want to install a custom ROM? If you want to install a custom ROM, rooting it beforehand is a waste of time.

No I do want to root it. I like having access to all the abilities of the device. Right now I'm having TWRP creating a backup before I go any father. It's taking forever though .
I kid I kid . You wouldn't be trolling the forums with your knowledge if you didn't haha.
Alright, so I've got FFF on there now. I'm just waiting for KFU to do it's thing and hopefully root this thing ><. Thanks for nothing yet really

All custom ROMs are rooted anyway, which is why I say if you are going to install a custom ROM, rooting it again is pointless.
You guys are way too advanced for me
I'm just a newbie and I try to make my life with KF easier, not more complicated by reading and reviewing how to use the KFU tools.
First, I download the zip file then I unzip it then I install drivers as instructed then start using the beautiful useful tools.
Second, I make sure it reads 4000 and Online by pressing "0" key then press 2 if just want rooting with stock OS. It will automatically install TWRP and FFF. Follow the instruction and it should be done by then.
Nandroid backup with COTR.
Installing custom ROM? read the instruction again on that thread.
Greetings everyone. I bought a Proscan PLT7044-k tablet to use as a chromecast remote, but doesn't work out how i planned. Anyway, I started messing around with it, bricked it, and figured out how to unbrick it through putting the original firmware back on it. THAT got all this Android stuff real interesting to me. Now, where my brain gets stumped at is putting CWM on this thing, so I can put custom ROMs on it and play with it more. I have tried EVERYTHING that I can find on google and all of the forums, nothing has worked! There is no bootloader, at least I'm pretty sure there isn't. I can't get into fastboot. When I try to rebbot into any kind of recovery or bootloader mode, I get a black screen. Rebooting into recovery mode just shuts my tablet off.. This has stumped me for about 3 weeks now. Endless nights of frustration just to get CWM! uugghh!! Can anyone help!? I know it's an older tablet, so I'm hoping someone figured it out a long time ago. Thanks folks, in advance. Whatever I need to paste on here for you guys/gals to see, just ask.
This is the wrong section to ask, there's no porting involved if you got an android device. youd get more replies in a more general section
