I've recently searched high and low for a working solution to an issue I'm having with my Matrix One tablet. I'm getting an exclamation mark inside of a triangle, inside of a battery icon. The issue started after I let the battery completely die out. I can't get past that screen. When pressing power the battery icon shows up and the tablet shuts down a second later. I tried all button combinations to get into recovery, nothing worked. I've also tried charging the tablet, I've left it overnight a few times, and that hasn't helped.
There was one thing I managed to do, that was get the tablet to show up on my computer. I held down the update button with a needle and then held the power button until a blue light indicating the tablet was on showed up. The screen was black but my computer detected a new device. My computer didn't find any drivers for the tablet, so I went in search of them myself and couldn't find any. My tablet is A10 compatible, but none of the A10 drivers I found seem to work on my tablet when I go to manually update it through device manager, neither does the PDAnet method I found online.
I was able to find a recovery that works on my device, one that will allow me to reset my tablet, if I'm able to boot into recovery after I get it on my tablet. Now in order to even test the other recovery I need drivers for my device so ADB can detect it and I can push the recovery. My device is already rooted with Superuser updated to the latest build.
I'll add that I've even taken the liberty of opening up the tablet to see if I can disconnect the battery from the board to cut all power, as I've read that has helped other people, but I'm unable to do that because the batteries are connected by soldered red and black cables.
If anyone can be of assistance I'd really appreciate it, thanks in advance for any replies.
Still need some help with this... If you have any A10 drivers you can point me to I'll try them if I haven't already.

So I've run into quite an annoying problem- I can't install applications from the market. Last night, I had my phone plugged into my computer and I don't THINK I had the SD mounted, but I've been wrong before. Anyways, I went to disconnect it and instead of dismounting then unplugging, I just unplugged. Since then, if I try to download something, the notification bar will show that the app is downloading, for a second, then it just disappears. My phone is rooted, no custom rom though, and I'm not running Apps2SD. Also, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on my computer.
This has happened once before, and I had to tinker with popping my SD card out and rebooting the phone a few different ways before it finally started acting right again. I'm looking for help because 1) I can't remember exactly how I did it and 2) I figured I might as well try to find out if anyone here knows what I could do to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Galaxy S Showcase stuck at very first screens
Afternoon guys, I did some browsing and searching and cannot seem to find a way to fix this, so here goes:
Samsung Galaxy S i500, Showcase with Cellular South.
It is rooted, with the original ROM/Kernel.
Yesterday, I was attempting to follow the guide on getting ClockWorkMod on it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860250) and when I finally got the final command to work, the phone rebooted, and has since been doing VERY little.
Power Button = SAMSUNG... No vibrate, No change.
Vol Up/Down + Power = SAMSUNG... No vibrate, word flashes, release power (steps to enter recovery or download), SAMSUNG screen remains. Still no vibrate or anything.
Plug in = Grey battery with "loading" circle with no animation of any kind. It is charging though.
Plug in + Vol for recovery/download mode = still just grey Battery not moving.
In all attempts, I have left it trying for anywhere between 30 mins to 4 hours... I cannot get to anything but those 3 results. (samsung, samsung w/ 1 flash, and grey battery).
If I can get it into Download, I can Odin it, or recovery to reset to factory... but I need to get to one. Any and all help is appreciated.

Download Mode
I had similar situation. Could not get past samsung screen. No splash screen.
Download mode. Pull battery, Plug in USB, hold Vol-. Little guy with shovel.
As for getting back to running. Good luck. I got new warrantied phone couldn't figure out how to fix after soft brick.
Ematic Eglide Xl Pro(not the XL Pro 2) Model: EGLXP101B(I could be wrong) upc:817707010269
I recieved this tablet this way and without a charger but my charger works.
I believe this tablet is bricked but it may have bad hardware and I cannot find info on how to fix this.
With Nothing connected and no external memory installed it will boot to the black android screen in pic 2 and freeze there untill I hold power about 5sec. to power off.
With only external memory installed it freezes on the splash screen in pic 1. If I press power for 1 sec. it continues to boot to black android screen in pic 2 and freezes there untill I hold power about 5sec. to power off.
-I have connected it to my windows xp pro computer and the computer did install something for a driver but as you can see in pic 3, the tablet shows up in my computer as 6 removable disks, H, I, J, K, L, and M. I cannot access any of them. I also tried ADT Bundle but it wont recognize tablet either.
I think I need to get windows to recognize tablet first but how can I do that?
If tablet has a hardware issue will windows even be able to detect the tablet?
Maybe I posted in the wrong spot, don't seem to get any help.

I feel your pain; the eglide is sort of kluged together by some guys in a garage in China. I rooted mine, installed Google play and some games and a lot of apps. The battery jack is loose and almost useless now. The battery dies after 1/2 an episode of Fringe.
I suspected the added apps were running in the background and draining the battery; I was planning to reset it to wipe out all and see if that regained my battery life. But it's now stuck in an endless splash screen loop, so I'm feeling stuck as well.
I'm going to try tinkering while it's hooked up to Android Commander on my Win 7 PC; possibly get some progress going. I'l post again if I find success.
You might try Android Commander as well: mine shows in Explorer as two Removable drives, but in Android Commander I can see the root directory and navigate and install apps. That might bail you out.
If you hold the power and volume up down, it will boot you into a diag screen; in Chinese. I'll let you know what happens when you start pressing random Chinese menu items if I get desperate.
I checked all the other threads on this and they don't seem to apply. I have an xperia s tablet that I really like. It was becoming slow so I finally decided it was time to root. Thanks Condi for the motochopper. I got it rooted successfully but then it was running too slow to be useable. I found a program to run that was supposed to rearrange the memory the way you defrag a computer drive. After running that the tablet would only turn on to the Sony logo. I did a factory reset a couple of times and now I can not turn on at all. I get the green charge light and I can get the red single blink when I do a reset but then when I press the power button I get the white light comes on and goes right back off. I tried with the up vol, down vol and no other keys but nothing. I have tried plugging into the computer and sometimes it sees a malfunctioning USB device and sometimes it sees nothing. I have run the xperia unbricker I found on here and it says waiting for device. I tried plugging it in with that program running but no luck. The only other post I found that was related the user said it was a motherboard failure. I'm not ready for that yet. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
I've been a reader for a while, purely out of interest. I've never really dabbled with customizing android. In that regard I am a noob... I recently acquired a Medion X6001 that I was planning to build into my car as informant/navigation. Phone root successful, developer options active, debugging and oem options active. Automate programmed to all the standards I was happy with., worked great. All that was left to do to was get the thing to boot on charge. The "fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0" command was unsuccessful so I resorted to trying to find the system file responsible for battery icon on charge with power off.
That's where I went wrong. This phone has two icons; first a battery with a bolt, then switches to another with blue fluid and battery percentage. I found the blue fluid battery icon - 'system/bin/kpoc_charger', unfortunately I needed the killswitch battery icon. So I made another guess and renamed - 'system/bin/lmkd'. This was the file directly before ...kpoc and my daft logic lead me to believe that that might have been the right file. Obviously, it wasn't.
So the problem? The phone won't boot. Not really... At first, it was entirely stuck in bootloop. So, the good sheep I am, I factory reset the phone through recovery. The phone still went into bootloop for a few minutes, but came out of it to an applet saying 'optimizing apps'. Took 10 minutes to optimize and then went through to another applet saying something along the lines of "system process not found, do you want to wait?". Behind this applet I could tantalizingly see the startup screen of a freshly reset android.... It gave the option to wait or push ok, neither of which were actually active to touch. If I held the power button it would give me the option to shutdown, reboot or screenshot, also none of which where actually active to touch.
So after more googling, I wiped the cache through recovery. Everything stayed the same; bootloops for a few minutes then applets. Only now everything is in Chinese kanji... which is why I can't reiterate verbatim what the applets originally said...
After around 12 hours of tirelessly searching the web I've tried everything I've found but every time I get through a door there's another one closed. I can't install twrp or clockwork, I can't flash the rom, the phone won't let me unlock the bootloader in fastboot. Went I type the command it asks if I want to unlock it: volume up yes, volume down no. But fails: "remote access denied"
Since the factory reset, I don't have access through adb anymore. If I let the phone boot I can see it connect to the computer, but only as mtp. The file is entirely empty. I have no access to usb debugging. And to remotely access that, I need to be able to unlock the bootloader.
I can't get around the blocks and everything that is advised to get around bootloops and flash through fastboot are seemingly impossible because I no longer have proper access. But I can't get into the phone to get access...
And to make matters worse, just now as I type this.... I can't get into fastboot anymore. I think the phone battery is dead, but apparently doesn't accept a charge. When I plug it in the battery symbol appears, the dark red led lights up indicating very low battery. Very shortly after that the led turns off, which is not how it was before I buggered everything. Battery icon stays on, but when I push the necessary buttons to get into recovery, everything goes blank and the phone does nothing. When released, battery icon comes back and red led for a few seconds. Repeat. Phone has been plugged in all night....
I'm nearly bald from pulling my hair out. I hope there's someone out there that can give me a hand. I have a hard time believing I bricked the phone just by changing a bin file name.
Thanks in advance!
fastboot
I have access to fastboot again. Plugged the phone into a different cable, is now charging. I can see the battery % through recovery.
Back in business....sort of.
Any idea's welcome.
bump
Anyone?
Well I found the ultimate cure: buy a new one.
I will however keep fumbling around with the other one and hopefully as my knowledge increases I'll have a break through.
Hello everyone,
i got a problem with my z ultra and have tried looking similar problem on this forum but none of the solution seems working.
Please note that i have a stock phone, never did anything to it including unlocking rooting etc as i have no idea what it is, just casual usage.
So the problem occured when i tried to move an apps from sd card to my internal storage, and then my phone freezed midways,
the phone went unresponsive just showing the freezing screen.
Then i pushed the red button near the sim tray hoping the phone will reboot as i had similar problem before, and thought that it was just another minor problem and it worked.
But this time after pushing the red button the phone wont reboot again after i try to turn it on again using the power button, only a vibration but the screen showed no display whatsoever.
Ive been looking a solution on this forum with similar problem and there was a suggestion to connect the phone to power source and push the power and + vol together but there was only vibration thrice without indication of my problem has been solved.
Ive also tried a solution on youtube to disconnect the power cable, charge it to power source, wait for the Red LED to blink and reconnect the power cable again but it wasnt working.
Long story short after trying several method now my phone only blinking Red LED 3 times when i tried to turn it on, i tried to charge it to full but the Red LED keeps showing on even after i discharged it, so i had to push the power and + vol button to turn it off.
I suspect that my phone is hardbricked looking at the symptomps
Please anybody here could help me to fix it?
It's probably not hard-bricked.
Try this,
1, connect your USB cable to PC (without phone connected to it )
2, press volume up button and then plug in the usb cable to your phone
3, if light goes blue colour then you are back in business and you can still revive your phone
step 3 if successfull means your phone is up with fastboot mode and you can upload a recovery via flashtool
let me know your results ,
