[Q] Asus Pad bricked? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i tried to root my Asus memo pad fhd 10 using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568724&page=20
I followed the steps to "6. Unmount /system, Reboot...Done! "
When i reboot the device it get stuck on the Asus logo (boot logo) and nothing happens.
The problem now is that i forgot to put it into debug mode so i can't use any fastboot/adb commands (No devices is listed when i type adb devices).
When i press Power + Volume Up i go into DroidBoot Provision OS where i can choose among these options
1 Reboot DroidBoot
2 Reboot
3 Factory Reset ( Tried this, it will get stuck on boot up)
4 SD Download ( I get error "Error: no detect /mnt/sdcard/asus_bundle.zip"
5 Power Off
I got really no idea how to fix this, any suggestions? Feels so bad to destroy a pad just because i forgot to enable debug mode...

try to reflash the fw via fastboot but before read the instructions,i don't remember it,reserch is a good idea

[Q] Getting to fastboot / bootloader mode

Hi,
after some complications with the partition mapping on my tablet i finaly extracted the boot.img created a custom boot.img. Now want to flash it back using adb, fastboot or flash_image. Afaik flash_image isnt supported, get some errors "error scanning partitions"....
So i tried to flash with adb / fastboot, but it is required to boot to bootloader mode.
I tried many key combinations on my tablet (power button, home, volume keys) and apps to boot it into bootloader mode but was not successfull yet ("adb shell reboot bootloader" and Quick Boot App from Play Store).
I´ve got an Allwiner A10 Tablet with T15A_V5 Mainboard and 1GB RAM (like the goclever a103 tablet). Also known as (same hardware):
- Manta MID06
- Point of View Protab XXL
- Goclever A103
- Storex eZee'Tab 10C
- Coby 1042
- Yarvik TAB464
Any idears how to get to bootloader mode or flash the img back?
Ty.
*push*
easier to get anwsers for apple devices than getting feedback here... wtf?!
You don't reflash these A10-based tablets from bootloader mode. AFAIK they don't even have a bootloader mode.
You reflash them from your PC using the Livesuit program, with the tablet connected over USB.
The tablet has to be put in a specific mode (FEL mode) in which the screen will remain dark and a different USB device will be detected by the PC (Livesuit comes with a driver for this).
To put the tablet in this mode :
- turn in off completely (not just standby mode) and disconnect the USB cable
- start the Livesuit program, and select the firmware image (.img file) you want to flash
- hold the Volume- button on the tablet and while holding it, connect the USB cable to the PC
- while still holding Volume-, make a succession of quick press and release on the power button (at least 5 or 6 in my experience)
You'll hear your PC detecting a new USB device.
- release the button
- make a force installation of the driver that came with Livesuit
A popup should appear asking if you want to do a forced format. Choose yes, then flashing should begin (progression bar)
livesuit wont install
i downloaded livesuit but when i try to install it blinks out and nothing happens can i get help please ? im so close to fixing my Eglide Pro III

[Q] help - TF201 Stuck on Asus boot logo bricked?

I was trying to install Cyanogen Mod using the steps on their site(cant post the link because I am under 10 posts)
When i got to these steps 6 and 7 under installing recovery is when my TF201 appears to have become bricked
6. Flash recovery onto your device by entering the following command: fastboot -i 0xb05 flash recovery your_recovery_image.img where the latter part is the name of the file you downloaded.
7. Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation.
Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.
I had just run the command in step 6 and rebooted the device as described in step 7. Now my device cant even reboot. I cant get it into recovery or fastmode because holding the volume and power button does not do anything, the tablet just stays stuck on the boot menu. I had unlocked the tablet with Asus' tool earlier today so I can see the "The Devices is Unlocked." message at the top left. Any help would be much appreciated if it is possible to fix this issue without sending it to ASUS(because they will probably end up charging more than the tablet is worth in repair fees).
Some information: Before all this it was running Stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1
thanks
some more info.
I can see an APX device with a yellow exclamation mark under "Other Devices" in windows Device manager. Fastboot and ADB do no recognize any devices

[Help] Bricked ASUS MeMo Pad 10 (ME103K) - only Fastboot, no Recovery

Dear everyone,
I have an ASUS MeMoPad 10 (ME103K) here which I vowed to fix. The user wanted to revert to Factory Defaults, lost power or something like this, and ended up with a bricked device.
I can only start it with power button + volume up, into Fastboot. Secure Boot is enabled.
I have Android SDK and minimal FastBoot installed. Have the Google USB Drivers on my desktop.
I tried flashing SuperBoot (ADB), but ADB simply lists "Waiting for Device". No devices can be listed. It does show up in Windows Device Manager: ASUS Android Bootloader Interface.
I have the following files available:
- SuperBoot r5
- Kernel: l-8064-r1_V12.16.1.12-201508071139-foss.tar
- UL-K01E-WW-12.16.1.12-user
- recovery-original-me103k
There is apparently no recovery.img for this device. The boot.img is in the UL-K01E-WW-12.16.1.12-user file
Power = ASUS logo then goes black
Power + Volume up = Fastboot
Power + Volume down = /
Power + Volume up+down = /
Is this the place I should be looking? I'm honestly not sure if I can catch up with the details: android.stackexchange.com/questions/124344/trying-to-flash-a-system-img-i-took-with-dd-failing
Any help would be much appreciated!

EDIT:
fastboot devices now detects #serialnumber
Alright, fastboot now detects my device. I installed PDANet which didn't do anything, and then downloaded another adbfastboot package which hit it.
I'm able to start writing boot.img, but that's what it stays at. It's an 8MB file, so it shouldn't take half an hour, I suppose?
I'm not getting any error message either, though.
EDIT: It seems that regardless of what commands I send, they stall and don't get executed. ADB doesn't seem to find any devices, only Fastboot does.
EDIT 2: Tried the same on my laptop. Different ports. Nothing goes further than for example "Writing 'boot' - that's it.

Asus MeMo pad ME103K/K01E bootloader unlock
sheinbo said:
Hi,
after all these years I remembered my asus memo... Such a fine displsay but ... . I discovered an unofficial rom for another old device ( samsung gt 5830) and so I'd like to ask you whether you know any possibility to "upgrade" the MeMo or any other way to pitch / patch it. Your reply here let me think that you are very attached to asus memo, maybe you are still interested.

Same here, running the device on Lollipop is awfully slow, KitKat is somewhat better though but those are the only two official ROM's which can be found and installed.
Tried to unlock the bootloader to try different ROM's but bootloader is locked, despite all info here on XDA, nothing seems to work and the bootloader remains locked. Unlock APK's also give no result.
Running out of options here, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Honor 7 bricked, no access recovery/fastboot

Hi, i ****ed up yesterday night.
I have a Honor 7 which was rooted with TWRP. I tried to unroot it and go back to stock recovery to be able to update from 5.1 to 6.0 MM.
So i flashed with the stock recovery, but when the phone turned back on, recovery was broke.
Now i can't neither go into recovery mode or fastboot mode, so i can't flash anything anymore.
When i do the buttons combination to enter in recovery, i'm in rescue mode saying "func no11 (recovery image)
The phone is still able to boot on stock B140, but enable usb debug doesn't change anything.
I don't know if anyone got a solution or has the problem before, i've been looking into it all night long without success, i hope it's not a permanent brick
Thanks for reading me, and sorry for my english
Turn off phone, connect phone to pc then immediately after that hold power and vol down. You should be able to boot into fastboot?
Sadly it's not working. Looks like recovery mode and fastboot mode have been erased or something, my phone can only boot on Android, nothing else, so i basically can't root it/update/install recovery :/
Try to factory reset it.
If that doesn't work, let it completely discharge until it doesn't turn on. Charge it and then try to enter bootloader.
Can you enter eRecovery?
Hi, thanks for your reply
I can't enter in erecovery/recovery, and when i try to enter in the bootloader, instead of having "fastboot and rescue mode", i only have "rescue mode" with error 11 (no recovery image) then error 2.
USB debug is enabled, but my computer doesn't detect my phone in any way
Edit: The exact errors i have are:
Error!
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Flash the stock recovery.img belongs to your current rom with multi-tool. Probably it'll be fixed.
@smbtirael to enter into bootloader mode just press and hold Vol Down button and simultaneously connect the phone to PC, if your PC is not detecting your device try installind Google USB drivers via SDK. If you get in bootloader mode then you know how to flash a recovery.

Read my post maybe it can help you , I just got fixed ASUS Fonpad 7 from client who gived to me to repair his device .
But to me in order to get in Recovery mode I pressed Vol + and Power button together and one I see Logo I release both keys and I pressed couple times Vol - when I saw USB Icon or DroidBoot menu.
If you are able to go in to Recovery you can flash your device with SD Card or update with fastboot .

I read the steps, but fastboot isnt working on this device, because non of the "fastboot flash ..." or "adb reboot fastboot" commands works. Also DroidBoot isnt working.
What should I do so?
Thanks
How your device is recognized in Device Manager ?

Yes.
Also in "This PC" it shows as a "MTP Transfer Device" and it opens the folder and if I insert a Micro SD card, it will show that also.
device is stuck in boot.
when I hold power button, the asus logo shows and then after asus animation, the progress circle spins and spins and spin...
after 10-15 second, the brightness increased a bit, like zenfone 5 boot and this tablet. that it brightness goes up a bit and then device boots and shows lockscreen. but now brightness increases but it still keeps at that screen. and dont boot.

Sorry, I think that you ask "Is" your device recognized in device manager.
-->It is recognized as: "USB MTP Device" under "Portable Devices"
Hi , try to manualy instal this ADB driver on Device Manager , make sure your device is OFF and try again (Vol + and Power button together and one I see Logo I release both keys and I pressed couple times Vol - when I saw USB Icon or DroidBoot menu)and connect your phone with usb open ADB comand line and write fastboot devices .
If not try eith other combination for example
Power off your device and press VOL + and plug USB
-||- and press Vol - and plug USB
-||- and press both Vol - and Vol + and plug USB
If your device is recognised in fastboot extract 3 image files from firmware and flash with fastboot commands like in my post .

I manually installed that ADB driver from device manager. I tried those three last ways, last one worked, but it go to "Android System Recovey 3e". I have also went here by pressing volume+ and power button holding. nothing new
problem is that i can't go to fastboot. If it go there, then it can fixed. Like when I had a problem like this on my Zenfone 5 A500CG when rooted and installed a custom rom. and I fixed it my self with "fastboot flash ....." command. also I fixed a Asus Nexus 7 2012 with same story.
In the "Android System Recovey 3e" it have these:
-reboot system noww
-apply update from ADB
-apply update from external storage
-update image from external storage
-apply update from cache
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
when I select apply update from ADB, that is when my pc detects it as: Asus Android ADB interface and I when i type "adb devices" it shows my devices for <sideload> next to it.
on device screen it shows:
Now send the package you want to apply to the device with: "adb sideload <filename>"
Write this command :
adb reboot bootloader
Shut down the device
Hold Power button + volume UP at the same time
Once vibrate, hold volume up only and it should enter into fastboot mode and from fastboot you should flash images .
Here you have steps how to reinstall firmware:

Thanks but i already tried that command, but it says:
"Error: closed"
Reinstall ADB , and also all drivers use USBDeview to uninstall old drivers , scroll down for download

I installed USBDeview and done them, but it keep saying: "Error: closed" in the adb sideload connection
I think it is bricked reeeeally hard!
Did you tried to adb sideload and then add stock firmware from asus and hit Enter ?

Yes i tried sideloading stock firmware first of all!
But the progress percent goes to 100% then on the device it says: start updating... then says verifying package... and then says verification failed, instalation aborted !
Try to disable driver signature on your pc , and try again if not try another firmware for your device if you have .
