[Q] My tablets recovery and factory reset don't work? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Ainol Novo 8 Discover with android 4.1.1, I tried upgrading it recently with a file the company provided, alas, I can't get into recovery anymore. Going into settings and doing factory reset it simply turns off the tablet. Adb reboot also shutsdown the tablet.
Is it possible to fix? I didn't do a backup. I have tried accessing recovery by holding at the same time Power Off + Vol down like I used to with no avail.
I have looked every where but I haven't found a solution.

fixed
Well I have solved my problem. It is difficult to find solutions because everything that I encountered was in Mandarin.
I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.2 successfully, I will test if the stock recovery is working. If anyone needs help let me know. I cannot put links to outside websites.

[Q] Problem: I think I deleted my OS.

Problem: I think I deleted my OS.
Here's what happened, i rooted my Samsung Note 10.1 using the clockwork mode with the super SU, then it went fine, I installed apps I got on net, then (after 4 months) i got a glitch wherein I cant copy/paste words, so I decided to reset to factory setting, then done. I thought of other way to root my tablet. I went to setting where it says Encrypt device, I started encrypting then interrupted it, when it rebooted it says that encryption interruped and I need to rest to factory setting then try to encrypt again, and asks to press the reset device, and I did. What happened is it keeps going back to encryption failure message and I keep on pressing reset device till it will only turn on with the SAMSUNG NOTE 10.1 Logo (the startup logo), then I tried installing clockwork mode again, and select wipe factory reset, and wipe cache partition and almsot all wiping option, so obviously i wiped my OS. I tried installing the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich following this guide on youtube Guide - How To_ Install Official Android Ice-cream Sandwich (cant post the link). When I followed it all it always failed in the end, and on my tablet it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again", and I cant connect to Kies and PC to do the firmware emergency recovery. Now I'm stuck in there and kind of thinks that I'm lost and totally broke my tablet. But still I can be in download mode.
Any brilliant answers guys. Thanks much in advance.
Back Up
Is a fast connection needed while installing the OS via Odin since it says Firmware Update Started?
And can anyone send me a links to download a functioning Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich OS, please.

I'm not sure if this will help but Heimdall might fix this problem, whenever I fix my device after stuffing up a flash (happens often so don't worry!) I use both Heimdall and Odin to fix it, I have never been completely stuffed because of those two tools. My best advice is to search the Note 10.1 forums, they normally have the stock android or a new and better ROM ready to be flashed. It's good that you can access download mode which means its only soft-bricked, so just check your forums and that should help you fix it

[Q] Blaupunkt, cheap & cheerful Android tablet/lost password

Hi,
My daughter has one of these (Blaupunkt 800).
Unfortunately she has lost the password to get her past the first screen.
There is no data on board which needs saved, but she cannot now use her tablet.
There is a reset hole and two buttons (on/off and home)
I've tried numerous combinations of pressing the reset button in conjunction with various key presses, with no joy.
Has anyone had any experience of this tablet, or can anyone suggest a combination of button presses which will factory reset the tablet?

How many times do you search for something for three days, then ask for help on a bulletin board, then a few hours later find the answer and feel like a complete fool?
Well that never happens to me!
Well only the once!
Or twice!
OK, a few times!!
Anyway I found this information from data on a number of other sites.
How to enter recovery mode on a Blaupunkt 800.
The blaupunkt 800 is based on the same family of tablets as the TrekStor surftabs.
To get into recovery mode, use the following steps.
1.Press and hold Power+Home Buttons
2. Release the Power button as soon as you see Blaupunkt Logo on Screen.
Now you should be in recovery mode, choose what you want to do by pressing Home Button which will move down the list.
When you get the option you require , just press Power Button to select, and follow the prompts.
In my case I just wanted to factory restore, but you can reboot with different mods, clear caches etc. as with normal android devices.
Good luck
Phil

I've got a Blaupunkt 940 (Cape Town US). I am having a hell of time getting Google Apps installed. I've tried all the Jelly Bean apk's and some services wont even install. I finally found the correct version (I think) and the play store wont' connect to the server. I have internet access, installed framework and login serves apk's. I tried to flash all the google apps via .zip but can not get my 940 to enter recovery mode with the above, it just says update failed. I have updated the firmware of the Blaupunkt using the above method but it goes right into the update menu, not a typical recovery menu with options. My FW upgrade worked fine BTW. Any help with this thing would be great, all I want is google apps! It is android 4.1.1. Thanks everyone!

Thanks a lot
Hello all,
I have the same problem with a friend's Blaupunkt Discovery 1001A.
I should reset the tablet because she forgot her gesture. Normally it's easy, just start into Recovery and reset the device.
But I'm too stupid for this. This method above does not work for me.
USB debugging is disabled, too. So I can't work with adb.
Has anyone a working solution for me? I despair of it....
Thanks in advance

Rooted Nobis NB7022S tablet loses setup info

Hi I probably shouldn't have done this but I did so it's too late. Now I need to see if anyone has any ideas for fixing it.
I rooted my old Nobis 7" tablet using Kingo Root from the PC. The root was apparently successful since I could delete apps (all I killed was the Amazon store) but now the tablet won't remember it's setup info (like wi-fi, google account, etc.). Powering off is like a factory reset.
Any thoughts on how to possibly fix this? I've booted to recovery, done a factory reset but nothing.

Encryption unsuccessful random! Need help. Galaxy S3 CM 12.1

Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.
Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.

Pandigital Novel white Allwinner A23 freezing after startup

Hi all,
I've had this tablet for a long time, and have rooted it; but recently I put an application on that seems to have had a bad effect. It freezes after starting. (I've forgotten the name of the application I installed.). It could also be because I overclocked it too high or some setting I changed, I'm not really sure.
I have tried the various remedies suggested on the net, i.e. holding power and up volume buttons, until restart, followed by wiping the cache and factory resets. Nothing prevents the screen freeze; but the factory reset did give a different screen after starting, which did not respond either. The internal storage (recovery menu) show several entries; but I'm not sure which one might do anything). The external storage option does not have any entries, even with the SD card installed. I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me.
Here's what I know about the tablet:
It's the Pandigital white 7" screen
Android version 4.22 firmware 2.0.8
A23 processor
Model Q8H
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
........ john
