Did you get into the Recocery? (Volume UP-Button)
If yes, select "Update Firmware" and copy the lastest *.aos file from archos.com to your archos via usb

Hi,
I tried to put one through the recovery, the result is the same it does not take the update: it recognizes it but hangs when reboot. It's the same I spend or not the usb.

Then try:
Recovery Menu>>Repair Device>>Format Disk
After the compeltly wipe of your archos you have to copy an *.aos file like in the fw upgrade

Good evening,
I tried using "format device" and just like with the command "format device", the Archos hangs during reboot.
Thanks for your help,

Uff....
Ive never heard about a problem like this..
You also could try to install the SDE aos file You can find it on archos.com

Hi,
I tried to install the SDE but as for the update, it hangs when it reboots and then does not install it
What can I do?
Thanks

It reboots before it install?
Actually you should update the SDE via recocery menu (update firmware) and then it should install ...

Honestly, it sounds like you have bootloader corruption or hardware damage. The only option to-date is to send it back for RMA. It's possible there's partition damage, but you'd need a working OS to check it.

Hello,
Thanks for your advice, I will try to get it fixed through warranty.
I hope I get it back in working order.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 Boot Loop! How do I fix it?

I have the 32 GB retail model of the galaxy tab 10.1 and it was working perfectly and I had no problems until I tried to boot it up today. It gets stuck between the Samsung animation and the Samsung logo. I'm not very great with fixing these kinds of things so could someone walk me through it?

what was the last update you did to your tab? any app or tweak?
I once had a similar problem but doing a wipe/factory reset from the recovery menu seemed to fix it for me and I've had no problems since.
Ok thanks, I just did a factory reset and now its back to normal.
How do you do a Factory Wipe and reset? I cannot get mine to take the ClockworkMod Recovery.... I have tried many times to install it and Odin says that it was successful but when I try to boot into the CWM... All I get is the USB fastboot or Odin again... any suggestions? I am trying to fix my Boot Loop issues on Galaxy Tab 10.1

If you have fastboot that means your tab is Google I/O tab. So i believe the method may be different to install CWM for you. Google it
Hi guys! Can you give me a tip? Since yesterday my tab got caught in a boot loop. Didn't made any changes, just went into it. I have rooted it a long time ago. I can't get into recovery mode by holding power+up. All I can get it the download mode that first says "waiting for usb cable" and if I connect it to the PC it goes to "press the [START] of Odin3". Do I need to try the fastboot method and reset it to factory details? I've being trying to do that but no devices were listed... Or do I need to reflash something with oding again? Please, just give me a tip.

Hey nightrave
I got caught in a bootloop the other day after updating to 3.2 from 3.1, my tab was rooted and running the starburst ROM. When I rebooted it it keeped getting stuck on the logo screen, and my device wasn't being recognized when I plugged it into my PC. I found a file online for the stock 3.1 firmware and flashed it using Odin and it got it out of the boot loop. If you can't go into CWM to flash a rom or do a recovery I would try using ODIN to flash the firmware your device was on. I ended up flashing the firmware for 3.2 the same way and the Galaxy Task 10 ROM. Let me know if that helps
app not working
i downloaded an app and it was working fine for a few days and now when i go use it i get an error msg and it kicks me out of the app. ive deleted and reinstalled app a few times but it still does it. what do i do?
Did u try goin on rom manager and clicking fix permissions.. its suppose to fix any force close issues, not sure if that would work.
I was able to fix my issue by installing a 3.2 rom. My tablet is not bricked anymore
Getting a com.android.phone error now but i'm trying to figure it out.

Unable to do factory reset!!! HELP!!!

Hi all,
I'm trying to root but having problem. Then I decided to restore to factory reset via software and thru CWR but both failed....any suggestion?
Best Regards,
Jay
Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, I am also having a similar problem. My tab has been rooted since I bought it, nearly a year ago. I have flashed loads of different roms and builds without any problem. Recently with the AOKP builds, my tab locks up randomly and I have to do a reboot by holding power for 15 secs. I can install a new rom etc, but it does not fix the issue.
I have since decided to do a factory reset, however in cwm when I choose this option it hangs and freezes the device...
I've tried the superwipe scripts, but because they are not for this device they do not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What exactly fails? The factory reset in CWM won't format the SDcard partition, btw. Only stock recovery does that.
I would suggest to flash a stock system using odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651794). That'll revert the system and recovery to stock and you can do a factory reset.
I have fixed my problem, I don't know if it will help the OP. But here is what I did.
Downloaded ODIN plus the stock 3.2 honeycome odin file for my model p7500 (Unzip it too ). booted my tab holding power and vol down. Once the samsung logo comes up, release power.
Press Vol UP to select "Download Mode". Open ODIN, connect usb cable pc --> tablet and press volume up on tab again, to confirm download mode.
ODIN will recognize the tab, select the file you just unzipped, and click start... once finished you should be back to stock, so you can re-root. Like I had too
Now I just hope that my device is fixed and wont freeze anymore

Put the tab in download mode and Odin the stock tar.
+1. You will lose everything on your internal storage by the way, but its the best way to wipe any bad data or damage that has been done short of a hard brick.
Its quite refreshing actually I'm glad I did mine and it proved I didn't need half the junk that was on it lol!
@jaytee84: please tell your device's model my friend,and tell which firmware you are currently running

[Q] Softbricked Motorola Atrix 4g

Hi, I need some help with my smartphone. This was my first try to change a ROM, I did a lot of things... What I remember is that I downloaded the ROM and I tried to install it with the Stock Recovery (I did the "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache" then the "Install update from zip")...I did'nt have the phone unlocked at first... Now the phone doesn't go further than the motorola logo. I've tried a lot of fixes and I can't get it done, I got the bootloader unlocked after, and after that I could install a nice recovery (It was really hard) I really don't know where it got bricked. I've downloaded some sbf files but none of them worked and some "automated fixes" but still did'nt work.
AT&T version
Was running on GingerBread 2.3.6
Thanks in advance
do you get the white text "unlocked" at the top left of the screen while you turn on the phone?
If you have a custom recovery you can flash any rom you download from the dev section.

Yes, and i've tried as you say to install a ROM but it fails. I tried to install CM7 (The last version, a nightly) and Atrix-MROM... Oh and is there a difference in flashing and installing a ROM?
No flashing is installing a rom, can you elaborate more on the error you get (if you get one)?
what recovery are you using (twrp, cwm, ...)

When I turn on my phone I don't get any error it just stucks on the logo screen, sometimes when I try to install a ROM I get that the file doesn't work or something like that but right now I tried again to install Atrix MROM and according to the recovery it installed succesfully, but when I reboot the cellphone to see if it works I get the same thing it won't pass the logo screen. The recovery that I use is one that has some chinese green words and it say "goapk.com" it also says on the top "Atrix 4G Recovery v4.0.0.2 GOAPK.COM" (It's not the stock recovery) and the options are in blue... I tried to instal CWM but I couldn't, I never saw it, it never worked, so I got that one from an automatic script. I'm sorry if didn't helped enough, just ask me anything that you want to know. I apologize for any typo I'm from Dominican Republic english is not my native language. Ohhh And the last time I tried to install a sbf with RSD Lite (It had like 500 mb) and after all the process fiinished It said "Fail. The pone did not re-enumerated..."
Thanks for replying
ok let's try to install cwm. I hope you have the fastbootdrivers installed
copy moto-fastboot.exe to download folder
then download this file.
then open up a cmd window (type it in start menu and open)
Code:
cd %userprofile%/Downloads/
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-olympus.img
moto-fastboot reboot
hold down the volume button while it is rebooting
then select recovery by pressing the volume down button untill it is shown on your screen en select it by pressing the volume up button
let's first see if this works
Now I can't flash it... -_- I get the error "The phone is to low to flash" and I can't get it charged, I'm seeing if I can charge it.

try turning the phone off, pull the battery out.
Then connect the charger to your phone (use a wallsocket, not usb from pc) and after a few seconds insert the battery, let it charge for a couple of hours
If that doesn't work i think you need to use someone else's battery or charge yours with another atrix.
It Worked!

Reno2 stuck in Reboot loop

I got new OTA on my Reno2, update was installed successfully, But Now My phone is stuck in BootLoop and reboot nonstops. I can't get in Recovery mode or in fastboot Nothing works. Is there any solution to this? Any help will be much appreciated.
I am afraid there is nothing much to do, other than bring it in for repair.
You could try to deplete the battery completely, then charge it to 100% again.
Sometimes when battery if fully depleted, the device resets itself.
It's a long shot, but worth the try.
this most recent update is a bad one.

You can go into recovery : shutdown the phone and to start (you can try during the reboot, before logo Oppo appear) press volume down and power button during 6 or 7 second max. You need to stop pressing buttons before the and of the oppo logo. I tried now and I had a language menu (English and 2 others from Asia) and different solution like reset...
