[Q] TF201 Bricked - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just bricked my Tf201 - I cannot get it past the splash screen. I have tried the method of Holding down power and volume down but it does not get me into the recovery menu.
The device is rooted and the last action I did was in goomanager rebooting into recovery mode so I could install TWRP
I have my laptop hooked up to the tablet.
1: When I power button down for 3 seconds nothing happens
2: power down + volume up the tablet vibrates - usb disconnect then usb reconnect sound plays on my laptop. I cannot see the device on my laptop and my ADB devices command returns a blank
3: power button for 10 seconds - USB disconnect sound plays, tablet goes to splash screen and hangs there
4: power button + volume down for 5 seconds the splash screen reappears - no USB sound
5: power button & volume up - same result
6: After a couple cycles of this I notice that the laptop does detect that there is a device attached to the laptop but it cannot install the drivers.

[Q] Cannot enter bootloader - boot loop

I just got my Springboard, but I am having problem. When I turn it on, it goes through the logo screens and into the PIN pad. I enter the code, but after the home screen appears, the tablet turns off immediately and starts a loop of booting and turning off. If I do not enter PIN, the tablet turns off and starts rebooting loop.
When I press Power and Volume Up, the following screen appears: Enter into fastboot mode. You can press POWER key for more than 10 seconds to reboot device. It sticks on this screen until power runs out.
When I plug it through USB to computer, nothing gets recognized. I a running Win 7 Pro 64 bit. When I tried to turn it on plugged in through USB it installed Hi Suite and appeared for a while as CD drive until it powered off again.
Any ideas how to make it work?
try to re-flashing ROM. put "dload" folder in microSD then turn on your tablet. but to do this your battery must at least 50%

Background: I flashed my tablet with a wrong ROM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This what happens to my tablet when I boot it up:
Without USB and DC connected:
Booting normally: Tap power, logo appears and disappears, 1-2 seconds later the tablet shuts off
Booting to recovery mode: hold power + vol down, logo appears, logo disappears and shuts off.
With USB connected:
Booting normally: Same as above
Booting to recovery mode: hold power+VolUp, logo appears and disappears, Android system recovery utility v1.3.38 is up.
Note* I can use volume controllers to scroll the list however I cannot click on any of them. Tapping power doesn't work nor any other button on the tablet.
With USB and DC connected:
Booting normally: It boots into the ROM, but I cannot click anything. There's no response from touch nor any other button (only power that will turn on screen after it dims)
Booting to recovery mode: Same as above
Booting into download/flash mode: I hold Reset+VolUp+Power and it will show black screen. In the PC, it says 'unrecognized or malfunctioned USB'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have Windows 7 64bit with Android SDK installed. I have the official USB drivers and FlashMode drivers, neither of them gets accepted when I try to install the driver.
I also got Ubuntu and here are the logs I was able to come up with:
Booted into the ****ty ROM and then I plug in USB: http://pastebin.com/vnc2q5nU
I plug in USB+DC and boot into flash mode: http://pastebin.com/qa2URP9c

[Q] S3+Paranoid Android 5.1 bootloop - Can't access recovery

Hello
I have a Galaxy S3 that was working normally for a few weeks with one of the latest Paranoid Android 5.1 builds, Boeffla kernel and TWRP recovery. Today I powered the device down and since then I am stuck in a strange bootloop, what happens is the following:
1. The device powers on as soon as I place the battery on the device, NO power on button required (when problems started battery was at about 45%).
2. If left alone it infinitely loops the "Samsung Galaxy S3 I900" screen
3. Volume Up+Home+Power if looped twice gives me the TWRP screen but the phone instantly reboots so the menu is effectively inaccessible
4. Volume Down+Home+Power enters download mode but at this point Vol Up or Vol Down commands are non-responsive, USB connection and Odin doesn't work AND the device restarts after 3-5 seconds on that screen, so I can't flash anything at the moment (Latest USB drivers installed)
5. If steps 3 or 4 are attempted when phone is connected by USB cable to laptop then the device infinitely loops the charging battery icon but it looks like it is not charging i.e. no charging animation at this point.
6. If I connect the device to power plug WITHOUT battery and replace battery when connected, then the device does not auto-start as per point 1. Power button for 5-10 seconds throws me to battery icon and halts
7. Device to power -> no battery -> attach battery -> Vol up + home + power leads to halted battery icon
8. Device to power -> no battery -> attach battery -> Vol down + home + power leads to download mode that auto-restarts after a few seconds as per point 4
I would greatly appreciate any help at this point as I am out of ideas and out of ways to search google in a meaningful way, all info I can find does not apply as I can not access TWRP or download mode.
Thank you very much

Perhaps a messed power button? You can remove the outer plastic for trial.

the power button feels ok, obviously I have no way of confirming that but it is certainly not stuck-in, i.e. i can feel it clicking when pushing it and it doesn't remain pushed in when released. all steps mentioned in my original post were tried without the back plastic on as I needed to hot-swap the battery for some of the steps. thank you very much for your input though
Your power button is faulty, if it powers on when you insert the battery then it's shorted out.

Lenovo S8-50LC Boot Problem .. Please Help!

Hello XDA Community,
Sorry I didn't know where to post this...
Two weeks ago I purchased a Lenovo S8-50LC Tablet. It was working fine until last night, I was watching movies on Youtube and chatting with some friends. Then I went to bed and there was still around 50% charge in the battery.
When I woke up, I tired to wake up the device but it didn't respond. I thought it was stuck or something, so I tired to hold the power button for 20 seconds to do a hard reset but still didn't work. After that I plugged it in to a power source with the compatible charger that came with it and the screen light up with no data on it. I tried to power it on then and it showed the Lenovo logo and in a very tiny font underneath the logo it said "Boot Fail, Efi hard drive".
Then it would take me to a screen which says:
"EFI Shell version 2.31 [1.0]
Current running mode 1.1.2
map: Cannot find required map name.
Press ESC in 5 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue.
Shell>_"

and that's it!
I don't understand why this screen appears. I mean the tablet was working properly over the night and it had no issues whatsoever, but now it doesn't boot!
Then I tried to power it off and press Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power Button, it showed a black screen with only one line: "FastBoot Starting...Can't get eMMC Info, revert to default value!"
http://imageshack.com/a/img661/1158/bRg9jj.jpg
That's all what I got...
PS:
1- The tablet does all that only when it's plugged to a power source, but when it's not plugged, it doesn't show anything.
2- When I plug it into the pc via USB, the pc doesn't recognize it.
3- I tried to boot into fastboot mode or recovery mode but it doesn't work either.
Please help me fix my tablet and I hope it's going to be soon. Thank you all in advance!
UPDATE:
1- I left it on the charger for maybe 2 hours and now it's turning on without being plugged in to a power source.
2- When I press Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power Button, it shows the previous mentioned phrase, but now when I connect it to the pc via USB, windows recognizes it as Lenovo Composite ADB Interface under Android Phone

3- Tried to perform some fastboot commands like flash, format and erase, it always fails with the error:
Failed (remote: unknown command)
UPDATE2:
1- When executing ADB commands like adb devices it says "no devices found"
anyone?
Hello. A friend of mine has the same problem. He dropped the device and the screen cracked. After a reboot the tablet is on the same situation. I plugged a keyboard via otg , it stops the countdown in the EFI SHELL, but i can not type anything. I think is an eMMC related problem.
I guess the eMMC is totally fried or something. But, I mean, I didn't leave it on the charger all night or anything, why would it do such a thing!
any solutions or suggestions??

Thank you for your reply but it doesn't work .. as I mentioned earlier I don't have a "download mode" because any key combination I try to use just sends me to the shell window .. anymore suggestions would be appreciated!
-unplug usb cable
-turn off
-hold (volum+) and (volume -) towice
-press power button
It should go to fastboot quickly (a black screen with a little text)
