I tried using the simple root and clockwork mod method and now my a100 keeps cycling thru bootloaderversion 0.03.06-ics-ics (unlock mode) with green acer logo. If I reboot holding power+down sd update command recovery
update_package=sd card update.zip
booting recovery kernal image
then it starts cycling again.
Please can someone help!

Same thing here (or at least very similar). Hoping there's a simple solution like the "Odin back to stock" I can do on my SGS phone.
are you sure that the bootloader say "unlock mode"?
If so, then try this.
try this
Install the USB drivers on your PC if you haven't done it already. ( http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A100&OS=a08&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 )
install android SDK. ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html )
copy the update.zip file to your SD card root.
download TWRP recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608152 ) and place it in the platform-tools dir where the SDK was installed ( ex. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Once all that is done follow these steps
1) boot the tablet to fastboot mode
2) run command prompt on PC (cmd.exe)
3) cd to the platorm-tools dir
4) type the following lines one at a time.
adb.exe
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img (ex. recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
5) hold the vol down button on the tablet
6) type fastboot reboot.
The tablet should now reboot to the recovery program. Goto settings and mount the external SD card, then flash the update.zip by going to install.
Hope this helps

Did you rename/delete /etc/install-recovery.sh ?
I think you're not. Try to make hard reset, then boot normaly rename/delete this file and after that flash recovery again, it should work.
All it's explained here.
Thank you

I'm going to try this, one question though. My computer does not read the tablet anymore even though I have the drivers installed will it still work? Yes I'm a serious noob, but I'm trying...and thank you for your help it is much appreciated.

Okay, I downloaded everything but my computer doesnt recognize my a100 anymore, only if I put the tablet into fastboot then it see's it. My tablet just keeps on rebooting itself repeatedly unless I go into fastboot. Please tell me I dont have a paperweight.
were getting close
Blackshinobi or anyone that can help,
I'm getting close. I make it to: "fast boot flash recovey" cmd prompt
I get two different errors depending hoew I type the cmd prompt:
1. "fastboot flash recovery recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error (can not load recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
2. "fastboot flash recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error ( cannort determine image file name for 'recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
I was a little confuse on proper cmd line prompt, but I'm thinking #2 is the correct way.
Thanks so much for your help!

That's awesome news!!!
Number 1 is the correct command.
Just making sure you are actually in fastboot (bootloader) mode. On the command-promt type "fastboot devices", if you see the result below, then you're good
? fastboot (yes that's a question mark)
Now be sure you are in the directory with the recovery image and issue number 1 command (fastboot flash recovery whatever-recovery.img). If you get some errors, be sure to check the MD5 hash of the recovery image cuz it could be a corrupted download.
Of course, you can't flash the custom recovery if you still have a locked bootloader.
you guys rock..even closer
Thank-you everyone ..I am soooo close. I did get the recovery image to load (I accidently had it in android-sdk and not platform-tools...oooops my bad). Now I can reboot to recovery and install the update.zip off my external sd card. However after I install the update.zip and reboot, I still get stuck on the acer screen (bootloader version 0.03.06-ICS (Unlock Mode) at top with acer logo in green at bottom.
Which update.zip am I suppose to be using? Currently I am trying to install one of the stock ROMS from the developer section of this forum. Am I suppose to be using a specific one?
Thanks again, I know I'm close. My tablet has been brick'd for weeks and I'm dedicated to getting it back now that I have time.

Congrats resurrecting your tab! Gotta be a great relief!
How about Flexreaper ROM? It will require full wipe before flashing: in recovery wipe/factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash Flexreaper ROM zip file. This is basic guide, follow detailed instructions on this ROM thread (link is in my sig).
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
not quite recovered yet. I still get the hang on Acer screen. anyone know why? I will try flexreaper
I'm BACK
Thanks to all. I'm back up. flexreaper did work.. I hope the guy who actually started this thread is as lucky.
Not so lucky

Power down the unit. Set screen lock in the up position. Hold volume down and power. When powered on keep holding the vol down button. Then toggle the screen lock to down.
That should do a factory reset.
Then put a stock rom in the root of SD Card. Volume up then power until let the tablet recover.
This worked for me.
did u install the drivers from an earlier post? Also when you power up you your tablet you need to boot into fastboot mode? You're certain you have done both of these things?
I am unable to connect to, my pc doesnt recognize my acer anymore...unless by sd card you mean external card? Thank you for trying to help. I'm a serious noob but trying hard.
i'm in a similar situation. i accidentally deleted the build.prop file and rebooted. now it only displays a black screen after the acer logo drops out. my boot loader is locked but i cant install the mtp usb drivers to fix anything. think i have a paperweight now.

tried. i had no alternative recovery on it. i could not get the sd card mounted to push the zip to it. both adb and fast boot wont see my tablet. every attempt at unlocking fast boot wouldn't work. I tried to check in device manager to see if it was connected, the driver was working but it had an error message "Device can not start (Code 10)"
My pc only sees my tablet when I boot it into fastboot mode and sees it as an adb interface...Is there anything I can do from there?
Hi guys,
I would really appreciate any help getting out of this pickle (my first time trying to install a ROM).
Here's the situation:
- Running a Huawei P6-C00 Chinese phone
- Was interested in trying a custom ROM (e.g. CleanRom by @surdu_petru) in order to enable Google Apps
- Updated normally to B120 CN as instructed
- Rooted (using Root Wizard)
- Installed customer recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3)
- Started flash process including advanced wipe in TWRP... wiped system, cache, davlik, etc... :crying:
- Realized that I didn't have the ROM .zip copied to the phone yet
Currently, I'm able to boot into TWRP but cannot connect using adb for sideload (TWRP just says starting sideload but never connects). What do you guys recommend? I don't have a backup of any working ROM or the stock image.
Is there a way to initiate a "standard" restore since I wiped all the caches? ...
Are there some tricks to getting ADB running so I can try to sideload the ROM again? ...
P6-C00 does not have an SD card, but is it possible to load the ROM onto a USB and read it from TWRP?
Thanks for any help!
Did u try connecting to adb?

Hi Taaeem,
Thanks for the hint. I read some posts on fastboot and tried the following, but could not get into fastboot mode.
Methods I tried
- Power off phone and then power on while holding vol-down button
- Select Reboot -> System option from TWRP, while holding volume down
- Select Reboot -> Bootloader option from TWRP
From what I understand, fastboot mode should be run from the /boot partition, which I didn't wipe. So any ideas how I can get into fastboot mode?
Thanks again!
Okay, I confirmed that I have at least some kind of fastboot access because I tried "fastboot reboot-bootloader" from command prompt on my PC, and it rebooted the phone (but the phone stayed on boot logo).
- Next time I get fastboot, should I run "fastboot flash [partition] [ROM-file.zip]"?
- If so, what partition should I specify? I'm confused about where this command will send the ROM file, and if so how do I find it from TWRP later on in order to install it?
Thank you!
One more update:
- Even though I'm stuck at boot logo when I try to enter fastboot mode, it looks like there is a somewhat working fastboot connection. I tried running "fastboot flash [partition] ROM.zip" but it fails after 16s ("remote: flash write failure" or "remote: partition does not exist"). I tried flashing to cache / data / system
Should I try @N!ELS huawei p6 suggestion of accessing by Linux? (I don't have one nearby) or am I using fastboot wrong?
Thanks!!
Also:
- I noticed that when I boot into TWRP the device shows as "..." in my system tray USB devices list.
- When I try to boot into fastboot mode, the device shows as "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface" (but phone is still stuck on boot logo)
- However I'm still not able to connect using ADB .. shows "error: device not found" in all cases)
- Finally, after powering off the phone does show the stock charging animation, which gives me hope that this can still be saved :crying:

fastboot mode on the P6 doesn't have any kind of ui for fastboot, so it stays on the boot logo, fastboot should work fine.
You could always find an USB OTG cable and connect a FAT32 partitioned mem stick with the .zip on it, TWRP allows flashing from USB memory as far as I know
You are definetely not out of hope, but im not sure about the compability of P6-U06 roms with the C00 variant.

Obviously you can't flash the whole zip file to every partition, infact you can't flash a .zip at all, atleast not in fastboot mode, .img extension is used. So don't try flashing the rom manually via fastboot, since you have a high risk of actually bricking the device, if not in the right hands.
Also when booted into TWRP, try "adb devices" in the cmd see if anything shows up.

Okay that's good when you are stuck at the logo and you can see your device at your PC you are in fastboot mode, from here you can work with fastboot commands NOT with ADB that will not work. Anyway isn't there a option in TWRP where you can mount your device to USB when that work you can just copy the files on your phone without to go with fastboot. When that don't work you must try to extract the .zip from the ROM you want to install and flash every image with fastboot I think that should work.

Okay so now I'm a bit paranoid about hard-bricking the device, and would rather not try my luck on a ROM that isn't approved for the P6-C00, haha...
At this point I just want to get a working OS installed (restore to the default for P6-C00 phone, even), and then maybe try to safely enable Google Apps. Any suggestions on how I can get this restored?
- I think the device came with a USB cable that is OTG.
- Seems like fastboot is also working, even though "fastboot getvar xxx" returns nothing useful
- ADB does not work while booted into TWRP (can't run shell, sideload, or list devices)

Download this rom for example https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=bhDlIAc5AqKh4RAB2IdatPdEfYVI9FH/Zky/UTGcH3M=
Extract the .z7 and run the flash_all.bat, this scripts flashes the rom via fastboot and you should get your device back up and running again. And from there you can update to a newer firmware version without problems.
If the bat doesn't work try this:
boot to fastboot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik cache in twrp

Thanks, tauio111! That worked and I now have a working phone again :victory:
I'm going to be a bit more careful about how to enable Google Apps... this is too much stress during the workweek haha.
Later on what do you think my best option would be?
- Wait for a confirmed easy to install ROM for P6-C00 that supports Google Apps
- Some other way to enable Google Apps with the standard firmware, since I am rooted?
Thanks :laugh:

Heya Tauio111, I'm having the same problem as onetree and I've been frying my mind over this for the past 4 days before I came across your solution. I found that your link is no longer working, may I ask what that ROM is and where else I may find it? Thanks!

A way that may help (i've done it with boot&recovery images). Using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 , might give you the *.img files necesary for flashing the stock rom through fast boot. All you need is to follow the instructions on the tool and have a stock rom (update.app file type), and some knowledge on how to use the fastboot.
Hi Guys,
I kinda did the same thing here.
I accidently wiped my system with TWRP v2.6.3.7
I also have a huawei ascend p6 u06
I didn't realize i never copied a rom to my device so i don't know how to install.
I can't seem to be able to use adb or fastboot and my device is not picked up by windows (8.1), it just says removable disk in my computer.
and under device manager it says P6-U06 under unknown devices.
I have tried to install a bunch of different drivers to attempt something but no luck.
Please help me.
I wasn't able to adb sideload from recovery though I could when the phone was on. so i tried clearing cache from stock recovery and it got interrupted. Now when i start the phone, boot loops and i can't even enter recovery. Any help please!
Update
Now I can enter recovery after long charging and I could wipe cache. I can boot normally.
Problem now is that adb devices command can actually detect the phone when it's booted and functioning; but the adb devices command can't detect the device when in fastboot or after entering recovery! Can anyone provide solution to this?

Where are you getting your adb/fastboot toolkit? If using the ones your Linux distro (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) provided, then consider them out of date. I had the same problem with fastboot recognizing my phone...once I downloaded fresh ones from Google's SDK, I was back in business!
Am on windows and i had fastboot_adb(1.0.32) already installed.
Update
I could update by flashing through Kernel Adiutor app (needs root permission & Busybox). Root lost when flashed complete firmware and root remained when flashed just the update file.zip.
what i did was-
I put zip file (completely downloaded firmware from ASUS website-also tried OTA downloaded and updated the phone) on MicroSD card, renamed the file MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. This flashed through Kernel Adiutor app- recovery- cwm-flash.
Re-reooted the phone with 1 click method (method #3) when flashed the complete rom. If you just flash the update zip root remained.
All working fine for now.
PS: I use Z008 2gb model.
I have the Zenfone 2 and it is stuck in bootloop.
My brother boot it to CWM and flashed Paranoid Android without unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP. Now the phone stuck in bootloop, i tried flashing system.img the stock one but it is telling me that system.img cannot be loaded. What should i do? It is now bootlooping. I dont know what to do.

Hi, I unfortunatelly am not able to solve your Problem, but maybe you could help me with mine. Could you pls upload the System.img? I am only able to find *.zip and adb doesn´t want to Flash it at all
Thanx in advance

Go to Original Android developement. It's in the pre-rooted thread, these are the ONLY img files for roms available unless you push the zip file using ADB...
Flash the system zip file rather than trying to flash simply the .img. The zip files are in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/asus-zenfone-2-rom-t3054956) and might help because you're also flashing default recovery... could be CWM.
Also try flashing using fastboot.
your phone model?

What worked with me, Problem is simmilar, I flaged the Boot.img and androidboot.img, which Werke attached in the custim Rom folder, too. Without that, I gut stuck at the Boot Logo, now all works fine and I am trying to be up to date with the Roms.

1. download the latest recovery from here https://dl.twrp.me/Z00A/ and firmware from here http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.97-user.zip
2. download and install adb and fastboot driver from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and intel usb drivers from here https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
3.the adb driver should have installed in your pc OS drive [ which is C: ] put the downloaded recovery and firmware in that folder [where adb is installed] then in that folder, open command window by pressing shift and right click and a dialogue box will appear then open the command window from there and enter this command fastboot flash recovery {name of the recovery twrp something}.img then connect your phone to your pc and enter bootloader in your phone and press enter in command window.
4.after that put the downloaded firmware in any sdcard and put it in your phone then open recovery mode in your phone and go to reboot>recovery [yeah you have to reboot the recovery] then when recovery open again then go to wipe>advanced wipe> and select system,data,cache,dalvik and internal storage [internal storage is optional but if you choose it then it will wipe all your data in your phone] then wipe it and go to install section then choose the extsdcard [it should be written internal storage click on that then you can choose your external storage] then in the extstorage choose the firmware you downloaded and just swipe to flash.
5.patience ..because it would take time and maybe get stuck at 52% or 59% ..so just let it take time for installation [btw connect your phone to thr charger in this process]
6.after it done then reboot your phone and ALL DONE. [the first boot will take some mins to boot up]

Hello,
I hope this is the right section for this post.
I've been using a Note 8 Pro with zero issues until one week ago when I accidentally dropped the phone in the water.
After a few seconds submerged the display turned off and I felt an intense heat coming from the zone of the battery.
Having no chance to recover the phone (tried with Isopropyl Alcohol too) I decided to open it and manually dry/clean each component, having seen the situation inside gave me the phone is dead but I still want to recover some pictures/data from it.
Before opening the open Minitool was not detecting any device on my Windows Laptop, after cleaning each component Minitool is instead detecting the phone via USB, but I still can't extract any data because the "Usb debugging" option is not tuned on (and no the device is not rooted).
Is there any option to extract data from the phone? There's a way to turn on USB Debugging via ADB on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks,
Andrea.
how about trying your luck with a service ? most of the time they do have access to special programs, which have a better functionality than adb.
Thanks for the hint, but I am not happy with the idea of someone playing with my data
1. Try reboot phone to recovery
2. Connect it to your computer (download Platform-tools)
3. In the folder with Platform-tools open cmd
4. In cmd - adb shell
5. cd storage/emulated/0
6. ls
7. Now, using the commands, drag files from your phone to your PC
Thanks for your hint.
No luck so far, I think because the phone is not in recovery mode.
I can hear the phone starting up several times (hear the jingle) so I think it's in a reboot loop and I don't know how to boot it into recovery mode wo a working display (tried with power/volume up combination with no luck).
From the windows taskbar I can see that the phone is recognized for a few seconds before it restarts.
EDIT: trying to switch the phone on with the combination "power/volume down" brings to a kind of stable state and I can now see the phone in the windows taskbar recognized as a generic "android device". Still no luck when trying to access the phone as there's no device in windows and no device obtained through "adb devices" command.
EDIT1: I think that the phone is in "FASTBOOT" mode. If I type "fastboot devices" I can see it detected but still can't access it.
Any idea? Should I give up?
If it's popping up and down you need something to keep track.
You can try my UsbLog.exe (in the sig), it just sits there and shows what devices appear (if they have a driver) and disappear.
Try these to see if anything is working:
Code:
C:\>fastboot devices
C:\>fastboot getvar all
C:\>fastboot oem device-info
Yes it's popping up and down when it's booted in recovery mode whilst is stably connected when in fastboot mode but in this case I can't access the internal memory of the device.
I didn't get the purpose of logging the devices connecting to the USB as I can see the device connected for a while and correctly recognized as Redmi Note 8 pro but as it keeps popping out windows have no time to show it's folder.
As for the code you wrote: i will try asap but already tried with "fastboot devices" and I get the phone correctly listed but still can't access its memory as told.

After rebooting the phone in fastboot mode I can see it recognized as a generic android device from windows (still can't access the storage folder of the device).
fastboot devices----> I get the device listed with a series of numbers/letters
fastboot getvar all---> I get a list of information on token/token version/partition type and size/baseband/bootloader etc.
fastboot oem device-info----> FAILED (remote: unknown command)
So I think it's clear that the device is in Fastboot mode and instead is in a boot loop when started in revocery mode.
Is there a way to extract data from fastboot mode?
Thanks,
Andrea.
If you put a custom recovery on it in the first place you can try reflashing recovery from fastboot.
Fastboot doesn't allow you to read anything.
oem device-info is obviously an oem command that might not be on any device.
You've got a Mediatek processor. That has some low level equivalent to Qualcomm EDL, but I have no experience with that.
If you can get there you can download the user data partition, but it's probably encrypted. Also no experience with that.
The easiest is if you can get the system to mount/decrypt the partition.
You've tried the normal system too?
Is this A/B? Have you tried changing slots?
How much time does it stay up in recovery? Do you have ADB? Maybe try:
Code:
# stop recovery
Does that prevent it from looping?
So I should try to flash a custom recovery like TWRP for example?
What you mean with "normal system too"?
Changing slots you mean changing usb port?
It stays in recovery less than one second so I can't give any command via ADB.
EDIT: cant' flash any custom recovery because the bootloader is locked.
If I Try to unlock the bootloader via MiUnlock I get a warning saying that all data will be erased.
Any idea on how to unlock the bootloader wo wiping all the data?

My bootloader is unlocked!
Thank you very much.
Now I am going to try to flash a custom recovery mode via fastboot in order to access the internal memory of the phone.
EDIT: I've just flashed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-begonia.img but still can't boot into recovery mode.
Any hint on how to extract data from the system now?
You really want to boot the normal system because that's the best way to get decrypted data.
I realized that you don't have ADB enabled there.
You should look at B. Kerler's https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/
If you can pull the boot image off your device then I might be able to fix it so that you have ADB.
You'd have to flash it back in fastboot or mtkclient.
You can also pull a copy of userdata off the device with mtkclient.
As far as booting into recovery, there's a way.
Here's how, if you don't have A/B (that is you flashed TWRP into recovery and not recovery_a or recovery_b)
then you can fastboot flash a special file into the misc partition and it wil boot into recovery next reboot.
To return things to normal you have to flash the empty file to the misc partition.
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash misc misc-rec.img
C:\>fastboot reboot
Only do this if you don't have partitions that end in _a or _b
I really don't know if I have partitions A and B as you mentioned and I think there's no way to check actually.
I confirm I don't have "USB Debugging" active on the phone.
So if I understand correctly I should do the following:
- Flash misc-reg.img via Fastboot
- Boot into recovery just rebooting the system after flashing the above file;
- use MTKclient to dump userdata or boot image to enable ADB on (I will need help with mtkclient I suppose).
Is it correct?
EDIT: flashed TWRP first and misc-rec then rebooted via Fastboot/Reboot but nothing happens.

TWRP cant boot because you used wrong one. Search again in that unlock bootloader channel and use suitable one.

Hmmm, I am almost sure that the TWRP I've flashed was listed under Redmi Note 8 pro page. Can you please indicate more precisely where should I sera
EDIT: I think I've downloaded and flashed the correct TWRP file.
@Renate can you please detail your method so I can try to extract data from the phone?

1/Yeah it's official. You "flashed correct TWRP." Downgrade to Miui Android 9 (_9 in it's name) to boot into that TWRP and lose your data.
2/In unlock bootloader video above, search other video in his channel playlist and find TWRP video suitable for your Miui version.

Can't find the right video, can you kindly send me a link (I am on the latest Miui version and I am in Europe)?
In all the videos I've seen on his page he is using the device to install TWRP etc.
I think I just need the correct TWRP version for my MIUI release and then I'll flash TWRP and misc-reg.img. Is it right?
