Hi,
My device started boot looping while trying to restore to stock ROM to update to a new ROM.
I wen't through the nvflash process successfully (meaning nvflash wrote the images to the device) but it continue with the loop.
Eventually, it powered down and now it will not power up at all. Battery is fully charged.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
OK, so I figured out that the device was stuck in APX mode.
nvflash doesn't seem to be fixing the problem, so I'm trying adb. It doesn't seem to see the device at all. I'm sure I'm missing step on how to work with adb.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting adb connected properly?
Thanks.
I'm trying to get adb working following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902860
but it cannot see the device. The drive is installed fine but the device does not show up.
I know that if I can get into the device I can put it in debug mode, but I'm not sure how to do this now. I'm thinking this could be my problem, that the device is not in the correct "mode"
Any ideas?
Thanks.
did you get this resolved? i'm having the same problem.

I've been able to do that a couple of times, but after nvflash completes, just get into a TapNTap logo loop and eventually just powers down. When I am able to turn it back on, it goes straight into APX mode.

Do you mean to install CW from external micro SD?
Thanks.
This is Where I Stand
1. nvflash from TNT lite post
2. Completes and reboots, goes into GTab screen, no Viewsonic screen
3. TapNTap screen and then to n animation
4. Reboot and go to #3. Haven't counted but at some point it just powers off.
I have tried installing CW from the external SD card but cannot get to it.
Have tried adb but cannot get it to connect.
I'm totally out of ideas...I'm thinking that if I just let it sit there, it'll just work

Finally Worked
I have no idea what made it work.
I decided to just take a break and left the tablet connected to the computer through USB but powered down. Came back a couple of hours later and when I turned it back on, I got the Viewsonic screen.
After that, I was able to reboot and go into CW and do a factory reset, which put it in a really old version. It was all easy from there.
pgonza02:
As I understand, you can now power off and reboot you GTab.
Can you recall what were your steps to get to this point?
I'm stuck in APX mode for almost a month! I don't know what else to try...
Thanks in advance.
I tried many things, including:
Install CW by replacing the image for partition 9 with the update.zip for CW (basically rename update.zip to whatever the img file is called)
Add CW to external SD card and attempt to reboot.
Eventually I just left the tablet alone and when I came back I turned it on I saw the Viewsonic birds (this seemed to be the key, when it was not working I never saw it)
I read a thread somewhere that mentioned that nvflash has the ability to redirect output through the HDMI out so you would not see it in the main screen. My guess is that what's happening is that the output of something, that is taking time to complete, is going out that way and I just could not see it. By leaving it alone, whatever it was, completed. This is just a guess, maybe someone with more knowledge can confirm.
Sorry I couldn't give you more details.
Boot loop and black screen
I'm having the same problem. In fact, I'm unable to boot into APX mode.
I have the cover off and read about a hardware reset button. I tried pushing the
reset button (k2) but nothing happened. I also read that I can disconnect
the batter. But, I don't see where the battery wire can be just disconnected
without soldering.
Any ideas?
i have a gtab and it is giving me a headache already trying to figure out how to fix it. I have search high andd low for a solution but havent quite found one, yet.
This is my brother-in-laws gtab. For some reason he tried to flash to a different rom and update the tablet. Right now, the tablet won't boot. It gets stuck on the 3 bird screen. If i try to go into recovery, i still get the 3 birds with the "detected a recovery key pressed."
What i have done...well since i can get into apx mode, the first thing i did was flash nvflash 1.1, that should clear things up, then i pushed recovery. But that didn't work, i am still at the same place i started. So i flashed nvflash 1.2, still didn't work. I re-downloaded the files again from different sources and tried it again, and again, and again. I have tried it atleast 6 times but all with the same outcome. I am still stuck at the 3 birds. I tried holding the + while in nvflash to boot into recovery but that didn't work either. I am fresh out of ideas. Everything i read tells me to wipe cache/data, but i can't even get into CW. And nvflash isn't working for me either.
I am still on the same screen, this darn gtab is giving me the bird three times over. so right now i am going to allow the battery to drain then try again. unless anyone can suggest anything that will give me some hope....or even to tell me that i have bricked the "unbrickable."
oh and everytime i do the nvflash the device does not reboot itself...it stays stuck on the "entering nvflash recovery mode / nv3p server"
I had a similar issue with my gtab except I keptrebooting into apx mode. I then downloaded some nvflash from roebert that said deprecated not use (in a dropbox) and flashed that, my gtab came back to life there... funny thing is that I'm pretty sure I ended up on 1.0, luckily I was able to flash came from that and it's all been good from there.
I would say give that a try, then again I'm relatively proud to say I'm a n00b at Modding these things so tread carefully.
PS : as unbrickable as the gtab might or might not be it can (and to me it is) quite frustrating ; so I feel your pain

Try code detox, you need a pc/laptop and load the proper driver, run the bat file from the directory. This mode completely reload all the petitions and usually fixes the issue. I think your boot petition is toasted.
Good luck.

This is not normal...
I did the detox and i DID get the "magic value mismatch" in the apx mode. But then i loaded the nvflash it is still in the same state as it was before...not loading recovery, booting, i can only get into apx mode...this is really weird..
I did the detox with both nvflash, 1.1 & 1.2, with and without Clockwork, but none worked. I can do the nvflash "format" and i still get the mismatch message but redoing the nvflash to get the tap n tap stock image or heck even not seeing the darn birds it won't do...
I have even taken it apart, let the battery run out, pulled the battery, pressed the reset button...but nothing!
I can't push anything in adb since i can't boot or get into clockwork...i think the tablet is offically bricked...i have ran out of ideas and have read many...i

I just tried ... and no cigar... i can go all the way to step 2.1 but it won't boot to recovery...it stays at the apx "entering nvflash...recovery key detected...booting recovery..."
to me it seems like it is not retaining any of the info that i am pushing onto it...like a "bios" is being reset and not remembering what to do...

Did you (or anyone else) discover the "secret" here? What did you do?
Unfortunately, I am now experiencing EXACTLY the same issues. My processes have fixed tons of GTabs that people thought were bricked. I *THOUGHT* that there was no way to HARD-brick the device but I may have been wrong!
I really need some help here. Anyone have an answer?
You could install a copy of Ubuntu and try nvflash with that. That would eliminate any possible driver issues since Ubuntu does not require drivers for apx mode. From the error you posted earlier "entering nvflash recovery mode / nv3p server" it would appear nvflash is not actually flashing anything.

Thanks for the comment. I agree about Ubuntu. I use it exclusively - have for a couple years. I did all my testing and attempts with it. I finally decided to build a WinXP machine and I am now trying to use it.
You are correct about NVFlash not saving anything to the device. There is no bootloader and although all of the NVFlash commands are "successful" it just does not save.
When I try to use the external SDCard to run recovery, the GTab does not seem to recognize it. It acts just as if there was not a recovery file on the card.
One thing that seems to give me some hope. I am seeing the USB connection (while not in APX mode) with the Windows Machine. So, I will install ADB and see if I can grab control that way. But ADB is such a bugger with Windows.
top left corner of the screen says "The Device is Unlocked", in the middle ASUS logo, bottom right "powered by nvidia tegra" will not boot, or boot into the bootloader, i do have nvflash enabled but not sure what i need to do to get it unstuck.

Then c:\...\nvflash --resume --go
booted into TWRP
factory reset in TWRP, wipe cache, and dalvik

Well, we're in the same boat, so this means your device is hard bricked, just like mine, and you can't do anything about it, so you will have to rma it to Asus, if they let you. :/
but the only difference is you are in the life raft since you have nvflash enabled, so there is probably a fix so just search around nvflash unbricking threads. GL!

I got the same problem
I managed to unlock (UnLock_Device_App_V6) and root my TF201. then I installed GooManager to installed a recovery which I successfully did.
Then I boot into recovery and installed Jelly bean (us-tf201-jro03c-10.4.2.15-stock-deodexed) and superuser (Superuser-3.2-arm-signed)
it all went well and working great.
until I wanted to install a patch for GPS (tf201-GPSTweaks). I couldn't get into recovery so I installed GooManager again and tried to reinstall recovery again.. the phone reboot and stocked in asus logo..
I can only get into APX mode
Alright, so after having my Fire HD 6 rooted for a few months I started experiencing some random restart issues. I decided to reset to Factory Defaults as I believe that it doesn't touch root (Please verify that one.)
Whenever I clicked on Facotory Reset, however; it immediately restarted and DID NOT RESET.
Then I tried to boot into TWRP and just reflash 4.5.3 (Downgrade) but when I tried to boot into recovery nothing happened, it just booted as normal. Thinking that it was just an error on my part, liking the wrong buttons, etc, I tried running 'adb reboot recovery'
This yielded the same result, just a normal reboot.
I have since unrooted my Kindle to try to update to 5.0.1 (To downgrade again)
Upon trying to update, I restart with no change just like in Factory Reset.
This leaves me with no Root, and no Recovery.
Next I tried using Fastboot to reset it, which now leaves me in a reboot loop that's stuck on the "Fire" logo.
TL;DR:
I have no root, I cannot get into recovery, I cannot access bootloader since ADB doesn't have permission without me giving it (Again, bootloop)
Overall, I'm kind of screwed, any help appreciated.

I think if someone had an answer they would have posted. Unfortunately, fastboot doesn't work on the 2014 HDs, and it sounds like that's what put you into the bootloop. At this point I think your only option is to contact Amazon for replacement if you're still under warranty.

Bootloader screen doesn't indicate fastboot mode. Getvar doesn't return anything. If flash commands worked, I'm sure someone would have reported it.
If you haven't tried all button combinations, you should. (You know, hold down power; try power and vol down; try all three.) Without recovery that's all I can suggest. Sorry this happened.

Now, when i hold power button , "Amazon" and then "Fire" appear and it stuck there.
I tried to get into recovery by power and volume+ but didn't work, the screen show "Amazon" and reboot and stuck on "Fire" again.
What should I do now?
Sorry about my English.
I was following this steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-developer-preview-lollipop-os-5-t3172408 to root and installing gapps. After i use Flashify to put the Ariel TWRP image, after this i reboot the tablet, but now its keep bootloop in the amazon screen. If i connect the kindle fire in my PC, it cant recognize the device, because the kindle keep booting over and over again in the amazon screen. Its just show me in the device manage (in the little time the pc recognize the device) with the name MT65xx or something like that, then its closes again because it keep booting. If i hold Volume Up + Power, it show me the "Fire System Recovery" with 2 options, Reboot or Reset to Factory Defaults. If i reset to factory defaults, start with the Kindle Fire screen and saying: "Deleting" then 10 seconds later reboot again, and the Bootloop keep going.

You are bricked. I am sorry this happened to you but the first line at the top of the guide states very clearly:
Mar 3 Update: This guide is out of date. It could brick you! Don't use it.

So is no anyway to fix this problem? It must be one way
EDIT: I found a method with using a Factory Cable and Fastboot for recovering the Kindle Fire. I hope this work
