First of all, I have read through the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240029 about the Acer Iconia v0.8.1 toolkit. However, even though I have been a member of this forum for quiet some time, I do not have enough posts to post in that thread. So, I'm posting here hoping someone can help me out.
I tried rooting my Iconia B1-710 with entonjackson's toolkit. Everything went fine, or so I thought. After reboot, the tablet hangs on the Acer screen. Apparently, I used the wrong system image or something. I thought I was being extra careful not to do so.
Before I tried rooting, I managed to pull the original system image from my tablet. Is there a way I can reflash the original image? Since the tablet won't boot past the Acer screen, I can't connect via USB. I tried renaming it to update.zip and installing from the SD card, but it fails every time. I get no error message other than saying that it failed. Do I have to do something else other than just renaming it?
Someone please help me! I have a case opened with Acer for repair, but honestly don't want to wait that long for a repair if someone here can help. I'm willing to try just about anything myself. What's the worst that can happen? I turn a brick into a cinder block? :silly:

Can you tell me how to Unbrick Acer A210 US tablet?
I was trying to root it, got stuck in Sideload while in recovery mode. I foolishly turned the thng off and now upon reboot ther display is stuck on JB version and unlock mode.
Can you please Help?
My only other alternative is to try and get a replacement or refund from my vendor. (Which would work, but I'll still be a stupid noob).
Thanks.
Nevermind
Nevermind. My prayers were answered. :angel:
I unbricked my tablet with a little persistence.
Thanks for taking the time to read.

Please tell how you did it?
Please please please, tell me how did you unbricked the tablet. I'm having the exact same problem with my Acer a210..stuck in Unlock Mode.
It would be a life saver.
Hi guys, i hope you can help me.
Somewhere around 2011/2012 i bought a tablet (Yarvik TAB467), one of the worst mistake of my life because it is absolutely terrible, it can hardly load a website!
Yesterday i found it lying in a closet, i decided to dust it off and see if there was a better rom for it (it had an andriod 4.0.4 install on it from 2012).
Please note that i am an absolute novice when it comes to these kind of things, but with the help of google and a youtube video i decided to give it a try.
The first thing i read was that i had to root it using something called TWRP, so i downloaded Ainol Spark since that was used in the youtube video, placed it on my microsd card and managed to get into the boot menu.
There i selected the TWRP file, installed it and after rebooting the tablet is dead. The only thing that happens is the backlight turns on, besides that.. nothing.
I can no longer access the boot menu, it also won't boot the regular way, it does not respond to usb-cables, nothing.
Is there anything i can do from this point on, besides throwing it in the dumpster?
I found people saying the tablet was similair to the Allwinner A10, since i couldn't find anything specific for the Yarvik TAB467 i decided to focus on the allwinner roms.
The tables should have a Cortex A8 processor.
Any help would be gratefull.
Hello,
I've wanted to get back on my tablet to the factory reset state, so I've messed up. I tried first with factory reset/delete cache/data.. But I had deleted some of the system apps (bloatware) so It wasn't factory state.. So I did a research and I found on acer website the original OS for B1 710 so I downloaded it and put it on sd card and from the stock recovery installed it. So now my touch screen doesn't work, so should I call that soft brick? Btw. my tab was rooted with KingRoot
I found plenty of threads on XDA but many of them including unlocking bootloader and installing CWM, the links are down (redirecting to some russian site telling me the site is down). So my question is: How can i restore my tablet to factory state? Flash the original firmware/rom.. I don't have experience with MediaTek chipsets and this kind of devices. So I really don't know what to do to bring my tablet back to working state/factory state..
What can I do?
Please help,
Thank you
- I'm sorry if my thread is in wrong section (I'm new in posting threads in XDA and I despredly need help with my tab)
Same here!
Hi, though it's been a been a few months ago your post was posted but I've got the same problem as you. I rooted my tablet with Kingroot and deleted bloatware apps. I went to recovery mode and tried to hard rest my tablet but same issue. I'll answer within a few days time to let you know any fix. Right now I'm trying to install 3rd party apps to fix my screen but for now I've got some paperweight with me. I'll try my best to fix this issue and hope someone else would help us or what their experiences are like.

Hey guys, I'm posting here after the kind instructions of one of your colleagues. know that this must have been brought up again by others but no matter how I tried, I wasn't able to find a working solution. If there is already a link with a proposed solution, please post it as an answer so I can follow it.
Anyway, I messed up with my Lenovo A5500-H tablet and I absolutely screwed it...
I downloaded a firmware upgrade and changed the name of a boot.img.p file to boot.img, flashed it to my tablet, rebooted and, voila! It is now stuck in an endless rebooting... Recovery mode does not work and I can find no other working key combination (apart from Power+Volume up which brings me to the "Recovery Mode" / "Fastboot Mode" / "Normal Mode" selection-none of which works).
I have googled it A LOT and I have come to the conclusion that the only possible solution could be to make a bootable SD card, so as for the tablet to boot correctly.
What I am asking for is for the right bootable file / image for my Lenovo A5500-H tablet. I know I had it coming but now it's done and I'm desperately looking for a solution. So, if anyone can help, please do! I would be grateful! Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Hey, everyone! The problem was solved right here, in your forums! Thanks for anyone wo bothered!

I tried to flash a custom rom that was incompatible with the device (not really sure what I was doing) and of course the outcome was a hard brick. Can you help me, on doing what you did to unbrick my lenovo a5500-h, since I have no expertise on bootable sd cards ? (please include links if you do)
Hi,
I made a typical noob error and have a dead android now. Don't really know what and where it went wrong, but my Asus Zenpad tab, Z300C - P023, stuck on Asus logo, no recovery - only fastboot access.
Can someone please help me with either suggesting some correct steps to recover the tab or redirect me to correct threads. I don't care what ROM I install, or if I loose data, all I want is tab back working.
Looking forward to read back from you guys.
Cheers!
