[Q] Need help resetting my tablet (not a novice user)

Hello everyone,
First of all, let me tell you that I am very good at android rom flashing and stuff and know these things. Now, here is my problem.
1. I have Aoson M19 tablet, which fell and the lcd screen stopped working.. The touch still work as I can see the output on HDMI by connecting it to an external screen. It lied in its box for sometime before I took it out again...
2. It had a pattern lock, which I unfortunately forgot, so after trying many times, it is stuck asking for my email/password immediately after boot (however the wifi is disabled at start so it never goes anywhere)
3. The tablet does not have a volume button, It has a button for Power, Escape, Home and Menu. I tried all combinations possible (as much as I could) to try and boot it so that it is recognized as an Rockchip 2918 device on my pc connected to it, but it does not work at all..
4. I tried using adb but it never shows it as a device when connected..
So I would like to ask the gurus as xda on how can I get my tablet back by either installing a new ROM (if I can get it to be recognized as rockchip device I can install drivers for it), or some other way to bypass the pattern lock somehow. Maybe some sdcard boot trick which I am unaware of till now..
(Note: this is indeed my device, not trying to hack into someone elses). Any help appreciated...
Maybe this will help: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f90...pattern-problem-paswword-without-adb-1717216/
It was mentioned on the last page that Rockchip devices without Volume keys must connect the usb cable to PC and the port on tablet and press the reset button in the hole and the tab will be booted into the correct mode.
Tools: http://www.solidfiles.com/d/747bdce149/Rockchip_Batch_Tool_v1.7.rar
Firmware: http://www.szaoson.com/UploadFiles/Help/20130829102744_71726.rar ( 4.0 ICS v.1 )
My understanding is that the method for flashing Rockchip tablets is essentially the same across the board. So maybe try this guide for some general direction: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/flashing-arnova-g2-rockchip-2918-rockchip-flashing-tool/
I don't know if this will work for your particular Rockchip tablet, but I also found this: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f90...re-tool-how-use-guide-share-sonualok-1786042/
Please keep in mind that I do not have said tablet and am only going off of info I have found on the various forums that people reported success with. Also, be sure you do have the RK2918 version as there is a dual core RK3066 model with the same name floating around that I had noticed. The link provided is for a 2918 version. Good luck!
es0tericcha0s, you are a star, let me try and i will be back with the results.. I hope something will surely work..
Ok tried the reset button trick also, pressing it and holding before connecting the usb, and pressing after connecting usb, also tried the same with power button, but it always boots in android. And as usual the device keeps appearing as 'MID' in devie manager...
still stuck
Quick update
Ok quick update, I finally found the way to get it recognized differently (good or bad)
For Aoson M19, Hold the 'Home' key on tablet and then connect the usb cable to PC. However, it still refuses to install the drivers for the device..
See attached picture, still working on it...

Binatone appstar
Hi, my neighbour has asked if i could help with this binatone appstar 7 inch tablet. They have had it for sometime now but as the kids have now got proper android tablets they have all forgotten the pin number to access the tablet.
I have tried to reset the devise by pressing a pin into the reset hole on the back, holding it there or 10 seconds then letting it boot up as normal but it still requires a pin number to go further.
I tried to enter recovery mode so i could do a factory reset/wipe but thats a no go because...
I hold down vol + & power, as the appstar boot logo appears i let go of the power, after a short while the screen changes to an android upright with a blue hexagon behind it but then in an instant that changes to an android on its back with its belly open and a red triangle and exclamation mark. After that i am unable to do anything.
Hopefully someone might beable to help with this. So thank you in advance
A Solution for you all
I have a solution for this problem, if the parents password is lost/forgotten just enter into the password box exactly:
Code:
1orEnt=
This is tested and working on the AppStar 7" tablet from Binatone.
Say thanks if this helped you

This only works on the settings not on parent mode and that is wha I'm locked out of ...any ideas ?

[Q] Device "soft bricked" - Help needed!

Hi guys, I was trying to flash a custom ROM for the first time onto my ASUS ME301T, as I was fairly sure ASUS was not going to update these devices anymore.
Anyway, now the device will not start. It will power on, and the first of the two ASUS start-up screens will appear (the non animated/static one). In the top corner, it reads "The Device is Unlocked" as was required when attempting to flash the 4.4.4 ROM. Beyond this, nothing happens. If I attempt to power down the device it simply reboots itself shortly after. The only way to turn it off is to insert a paperclip into the physical reset hole, or to let the device run out of battery.
Now before you tell me to go into recovery by holding power and volume down... I've tried that hundreds of times.. As well as power+vol up, although I don't know what that does. I cannot access recovery mode, as far as I know anyway. Further, the device is not detected by either of my computers (desktop or laptop, windows and mac) so I can't attempt to flash it through USB (unless there is a way to do this?).
The device does not heat up, the screen simply stays on the ASUS static logo. It doesn't power off unless I hold the button, and it quickly restarts. To provide context as to what I did to cause this issue.. It was working fine on its factory ROM, no issues, and I attempted to do another system reset to fix an issue I was having with TWRP. However, I accidentally selected the middle open, not RCK, not reset, but something like "boot into Linux" or something, I can't exactly remember. Anyway, like an idiot I freaked and powered off the device.. My guess is that this is was caused the issue?
Anyway, making this post here as this is my first time looking into/attempting to flash a device. Would appreciate some expert help before I use my tablet to prop up the books on my bookcase
Help me try to unbrick my tablet! (I'm not too hopeful though..)
Cheers

The tablet does not load the OS

Hello,
I want to ask for your help.
I have an old 10 inch tablet that I use as an ebook.
However, for a few days, the tablet cannot boot and only the Android logo appears and can only be turned off with the reset button.
I tried to enter recovery mode to get back to factory settings, but failed. I probably don't press the right combination of buttons.
I will ask for your help, guide me on how to do this to save a tablet that is incredibly convenient for me.
The tablet is model RK30SDK and is running Android 4.1.1
Thanks in advance to everyone who responded!
If you have a device that appears frozen and won’t power on at all, then probably your device’s battery is ( almost ) dead. Use device's Reset Pinhole to power cycle it. If that doesn’t help, it’s possible that your hardware is dead and the device needs to be serviced or replaced.
