I tried to install the latest update for my acer tablet. My tablet is unrooted and it was doing fine with the android icon with spinning gears and a progress bar. Though it froze and stayed froze...i had no choice but to reset. Once I did though the system would come back up to the slide your finger to unlock screen, my same background was working but a vibrate would happen (before touching) and after that touching the screen wouldn't do anything or react so couldn't slide to unlock. After this, I tried the plus volume button + power+ moving the orientation switch on and off. This got my old background to go away so something happened but it never reset on its own as it was saying: clearing user data and clearing cache. After that i shut it off again and rebooted using the minus volume. It said it was going to revert back to some file. The friendly android robot with spinning gears occurred then shortly after the progress bar came up that friendly android was replaced with an android icon with a big yellow warning sign in it (exclamation point) as far as i can tell nothing happens afterwards. After a few more reboots and + trick i can get the system to boot (no drag finger to unlock) but the minute it gets to the home screen the "shutting down" dialog shows up with the "powering off" message. It never goes away, tablet never shuts down. This happened REPEATEDLY. I did contact acer tech support; and since the first time it didnt reboot on its own after clearing user data and user cache he said its a hardware defect and to return it. I do hesitate to believe that cause I have babied this thing. I wonder if its an odd software error?
Now if i just let the tablet boot up it will come to that home screen with that shutting down dialog. And sometimes i swear a message box pops u behind it I cannot click on it (i swear the dialog that pops up behind the powering off dialog is something about the apk installer). I cannot get to the privacy ->restore to factory defaults...cause everytime i make it to the settings screen and click okay or something the home screen comes back and everything else go s away...so can never click on anything in the settings without it fading away. Which means I cannot click privacy -> restore factory defaults. So now my acer just boots up and says shutting down right away and does nothing else. Its clear of the apps i had on it, but st still not coming up. Am I missing some other step to the process or is the acer device really going to be needed to send out? I think i did everything right but wondering if anyone else had the boot up and then see the shutting down/powering off dialog the whole time... it should be noted that it never actually does shut down.
Any ideas or help id love it!
I don't own a tablet, but here is a thread that you can check out. Hopefully it will help you out. Good luck!
Hi All,
I've been coming here for a good while, reading articles, looking up help tips, and I gotta say, XDA is super helpful! I love reading about the new apps and seeing what people are making. But now, I'm running into a problem that I'm having trouble finding an exact duplicate or matching answer for. I've been looking through the boards and I see some things regarding somewhat what my phone just started doing, but it seems like everything is for custom roms or kernels. The difference between them and mine is that I'm on stock, nothing modded on my evo 4g lte at all.
This morning, I checked weather on my phone, loaded up some music and headed off to work. When I got to my office, I turned the volume down to vibrate only and plugged in the USB cable so it charges during the day while it buzzes from twitter updates or txt messages, etc. Anyway, about an hour or so ago, I turned on my phone and saw the lock screen, but it was different than what it normally is. Normally the lock screen has the weather on it but this time it had just the normal field wallpaper (one of the stock images). I pulled the ring from the bottom of the screen to unlock it and the phone immediately went to a black screen with the little box that says "Loading..." for about 2 seconds, then disappears. The buttons on the bottom (back, home, open apps) are unresponsive. I can, though, see the bar at the top with the time, signal, etc. and I can drag it down and see any kind of notifications in there. If I click the settings button, nothing happens, however the bottom phone button to show me open apps, it starts to work. I see little app cards for settings, but if I tap it, it zooms to the screen but it's still black.
After about 10 seconds, I see the "Loading..." box pop up, disappear, pop up, disappear, continually.
I called my phone from a land line and I could answer, but if I left the phone screen, it was just black. Eventually, an error came up that says "com.htc.bgp" has stopped unexpectedly. I hit don't send the error, it goes away, and I'm back to a blank (black) screen with "Loading..." continually popping up and disappearing.
Also, I can pull the task bar down and select the USB option and then select any of the other functions...HTC Sync Manager, Charge Only, Disk Drive, etc.
Every now and then, when I see "Loading..." pop up, I can see a stock HTC image (the orange colored fields picture) flash on screen just before it goes black.
I'm really stuck and don't know what to do. I'd love to try to save everything that's on here if possible (images/movies saved to internal storage). But if not possible, then oh well. I was able to find this link forum.radioshack.wdsserve.com/t5/Sprint-Discussion/How-do-I-hard-reset-an-HTC-EVO-4G-LTE/m-p/17981 on how to do a factory wipe, but is there any other options I could try first? Also, what do the other options under this section mean; like clear storage, is that like wiping a browser's history?
Thanks,
Sin.
Update: My EVO kept looping the "Loading..." message, even when I did a power-off by holding the power button for 10 seconds. I found out, though, that if I did the force shutdown (hold pwr for 10 secs roughly), keep holding until it buzzed at me, then when the phone turns on hold volume down and the EVO will boot into safe mode. It would have the "SAFE MODE" logo at the bottom corner of the screen, but it booted up without anything other than stock apps on the screen. I'd do that, let it sit for a while, go to sleep, wake it up, sleep, wake up, etc. It never went to that black screen that just said "loading..." Everything seemed ok, so I did a normal restart, let it load up, and all seems to be good now.
I was using live wallpapers before, but when i switched back into safe mode, I made sure that just a stock wallpaper was set. I think that may have been the problem, maybe one of the live wallpapers got corrupted? Who knows.
So if anyone's having trouble, try the safe mode trick, remove anything crazy, then reboot normally...do that before wiping out.
Anyone has any idea what I could do with the following.
Device turned off while in water. 3 weeks later, I plugged the device in a charger. The red light was blinking in the top left corner. I left it plugged in for maybe 15min. The screen cycled between the red lightning bolt in a circle, and to a green one. Briefly on green it would turn off, and eventually show the red one again. 15min or so later I went into fast book mode. It said something about RPL being locked. I shut it down, went in eRecovery instead. From there I did a shutdown. And then tried to start the phone. Low and behold it turned on. I plugged it in my computer but the charging showed 2%. So I turned off the device and left it plugged in for the night. This morning, the device didn't start. No red blinking light when trying to charge it, and no fast boot, nor eRecovery.
any idea?
I really don't get it. Does the Mate 10 Pro have 2 different memories that could work independently? I was able to get it to wake up, and tried to get into fastboot. What I got instead is a "Software Install Failed" message with a URL to emui.com that is as useful as a thumb in my forehead. When trying eRecovery, I tried, wipe cache partition, didn't change anything. I tried reboot system, brings me back to eRecovery, so I tried Download latest version and recovery. It connects to my wifi (how on earth does it finds the password?!?) and downloads a 3099M bundle (8.0.0.143). Then runs the recovery system. I get a Recovery Success screen, then reboot. Guess what? Goes back to the same eRecovery screen. I can't get it to normal boot at all. And shutdown? Well.... that's the mystery. If I do shutdown. Then when I try to start the phone, screen stay black. Like the last time. Not sure what I did to get it back.
Hi all,
I got this Xperia M5 that's been giving out warnings about memory being full and I suppose it finally gave in. It only partially boots after like a full minute of showing you those blue waves. When it 'boots' the screen is black and nothing works, except you can see the status bar with just the battery icon, no-SIM icon and the clock.
Weird thing is when the device is powered off, you can press the power button once and it'll display a large battery indicator which shows the percentage normally-- I've seen this go up from 0 to over 90 something incrementally.
But when it's 'on' the way I just described, the battery is always at 0% with a red ! next to it.
Anyway, when it's in this weird half-life mode, you can actually pull down the notification bar normally, and tap stuff as well. Flashlight works, you can see an actual WiFi list (nothing happens when you connect) etc. When you launch stuff through here though, like settings, it won't open anything. It'll make the sound as if it's launched something but the remainder of the screen will still be black.
Using the dedicated camera button, I can access the camera. It works (sort of), meaning you can see the camera display where the screen used to be black. And it immediately says "system process is not responding," so I'm guessing this is a system issue where it can't load basic stuff like the homescreen?
Whatever you do or don't do, it stops responding after a couple minutes and shuts itself off.
Stuff I've already tried:
- Safe mode (volume down + power), just 'boots normally'
- Recovery mode (volume up + power) done that for over two minutes, does nothing or just 'boots normally'
- Hold down the tiny yellow 'off' button under the SIM/SD cover, did nothing.
- Xperia Companion: PC won't recognize the phone either in that zombie state, or when it's off, so I tried 'device cannot be detected', shut phone down, held down volume down button, connected USB still holding down, waited for a while and viola, nothing happened.
It's factory OS, never messed around with it and I don't know the version (could be 5?).
Any ideas?
Guys at this point all I'm wondering is if anyone ever managed to brick a phone that's as semi-responsive as this one, in the history of bricked android phones anywhere.. I mean how could it be bricked when you can (sort of) boot and even open the camera?
you said it boots in download mode?

No I wouldn't say download, it's weird-- there's the status bar at the top and soft navigation keys at the bottom, but the homescreen in between these is black. I tried tapping this black area to see if stuff is there logically but you just can't see them, but there was no interaction, no sound or anything.
I am able to pull down the status bar to reveal the usual buttons and such, like I mentioned before you can turn on the flashlight, click to see a list of available wifis etc. But you can't access settings through here, I mean you tap settings and the main part of the screen is still black.
The only way to get the screen to work is to open the camera through its dedicated button, where the camera display works normally, you can switch cameras etc. Tried accessing the gallery through here but it didn't work.
I just don't wanna buy a new phone when this one doesn't seem bricked at all. If it like didn't respond at all and nothing appeared on the screen I wouldn't think twice before buying the first phone I see on Google.
im afraid that you have to flash stock rom again if you will boot into download/fastboot mode.but your problem seems strange.what was the last thing you have done before phone stuck like this?

Not my phone but it'd been going on about low memory for a while now. I got the PC to recognize it once in that zombie state, so I'll try that with Companion if I can get it to half-boot again. I'll post updates if anything happens.

Hi.
I recently bought a S9+ off ebay and it started to glitch and go into a black screen with only a few icons like the signal bar and battery icon showing. So I tried to reboot and reset the phone through the recovery menu but nothing fixed it.
It just boots up and shows "android is starting" then goes to the black screen and randomly shows that some system process (eg: System UI) has stopped working and gives the options to wait or close it. Neither option does anything. Other than that I'm able to long press the power button and get the power off menu, but can't actually turn it off or restart.
So I tried a stock firmware flash through Odin which completed successfully and the phone booted to the setup screen. But i can't select any other language other than Canadian English cuz the phone will freeze and go into the black screen again. I can only get back to the setup screen by doing a factory reset in the recovery menu. If I continue the setup without changing the language I can get as far as the connect to a WiFi network( which I can't skip cuz I wasn't able to turn off FRP before doing the reset) But when I turn on the WiFi it just loads for a bit and doesn't do anything or display any available networks. And still after a few minutes the phone goes back to the black screen.
I couldn't find any info regarding this issue by searching on Google or the XDA forums.
Please any help regarding this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks
