[Q] Bricked lenovo tab a10 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, first of, this is my first post on this forum, so sorry if this is by chance in the wrong place...
Right, now the issue;
I got a Lenovo Tab A10 (model: Lenovo A7600-F. There is another set of code that goes like Lenovo A7600-F TAB A16GBE-DE)
and I have a serious feeling its bricked.
I turned it on today (at time of writing) and it gave the "Lenovo FOR THOSE WHO DO" logo like normal, and stayed like that...
forever...
So after I pushed the little white reset button besides the micro-sim slot I boot up in recovery mode by holding the volume up and power button till the black screen with the white letters pop up, and I select [Recovery Mode].
Then the Lenovo logo pops up again, and after a second or two an Android looking like he's playing very dead comes on screen with a "!" exclamation mark
above and the text "No command" under it.
I tried a reboot with the same splash screen hangning as before.
I looked up on the internet and found that clearing the cache helped a person, so I did that by pushing the power button with the dead Android and scrolled to "clear chache" with the volume buttons.
I did that, tried a reboot, but nothing happened, same result as the previous reboot.
I went as far as restoring the factory settings and rebooting but to no avail.
I go digging.
I found it could b the rom, the os or both that is totally f%#@ed up somehow and that it is in fact repairable.
Some more digging about and I find this: forum.frandroid.com/topic/203630-clockworkmod-recoveryroot-pour-lenovo-a10-70-a7600f/
Those links are very useful, because they bring me to a bunch of downloads that contain the flashing tool I need and recovery images along with a link to
Lenovo Smart Assistant. Also I can read French, so following the instructions wouldn't be a problem.
The first thing I do is connect the tab and start up Lenovo Smart Assistant (with the tab off). The computer (win8.1 Packard Bell Easynote LE) makes the chime of something
being connected, but I cannot see the device between My Computer like I normally do.
Neither does the Lenovo Smart Assistant recognise anything plugged in after a scan.
Following the instructions on how to recover with the Flash Tool also is fruitless because the Flash Tool doesn't recognise anything plugged in either.
I've now completely run out of options and don't know what to do.
Is there any way at all to save the tab and get it back up and running?

Help!!! My Samsung galaxy player is bricked! (i think)

hello, my name is shahrukh and i need some help. i downloaded animmod (from 4shared) and then i donwloaded busybox. then i pressed blur and then it asked me if i want to reboot it. i pressed yes. this is when the problem starts. It turned off and then it turned on half way and then it turned off. it kept doing that and then i just left it for the night. in the morning it was not doing anything. when i held the power button it turned off and on for like two times and then turned off. i cant even start it up so i have no idea what to do.
i don"t know what to do
please help!!!!
Okay, we need details, describe exactly when "halfway on" is. We need your full model number and rom version (if you know it). Have you tried plugging it in to charge? Does it show anything now that you try to boot it? try holding volume up and powering on to enter recovery menu.
details
ok so when it turns on it says samsung. then after like 10 seconds it turns off. it does that for a few times and then it just goes in a black screen. the model number is YP-G7OC/NAW. when i plug it in to charge it goes on and off two times and then off. if it has low battery it just shows the sign. as for the rom i don't think i have any. i just rooted it using superoneclick. if it goes to recovery mode what do i do?
thanks!
(you got me really fired up when i saw the recovery menu!)
If you can get to recovery menu, try a factory reset, and clear cache. I am not sure if there is a recovery rom for your device, you should check samfirmware.com
tried both of them...no luck. and i couldn't find a recovery rom on samfrimware.com.
Your device has capacitive or mechanical home button?
it has a capacitive home button...the usa version

The phone boots in recovery?
If so, I can investigate a little more what's happening.
I'll try to post a return-to-stock image soon... The problem is that mine is cluttered with crap that the zergRush exploit added (it insisted on installing busybox instead of just rooting...)
(I'm not sure, but I think someone else already posted a stock zImage and system image...)
Here is the post about fixing capacitive buttons. A quick search of forum should have found it.

nooooooo!!! you guys have all got it wrong. first of all it doesnt boot in recovery. the only way to get in recovery mode is when it shows the battery sign i hold "up volume"+ power button.and the capaciative button is completely fine. im just stuck in a bootloop (i think) and it has nothing to do with a broken capacitive button! i will try to post a video today to show you guys exactly whats happening.
i kind of had the same problem, one time i thought i had entropy's kernel on and i had CWM well i didn't but i still thought i had so i tried rebooting into recovery using the terminal:
su
reboot recovery
then i turned off and went to this weird recovery menu it had four options, reboot system, apply update from SD card, wipe data partition, and power off and it had a ton of red letters and words saying like, couldn't access data partition or cache partition and couldn't access /data/media, or system, and then i just turned it off because i wouldn't let me choose an option, and then i got stuck in a loop but not during when it says SAMSUNG mine happened during the animation music part that look like fireworks and then SAMSUNG would light up blue then go through it again and 2 more times then go black and i tried flashing the US stock ROM in download mode but still would go through the loop and it doesn't even charge so i got nothing
so did you somehow fix yours? and i never got a recovery menu that showed something about shut down.:confused
Before brick
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
wait....are you asking me those questions? just to tell you im no developer or something. im just a 12 year old who has his galaxy player stuck in a boot loop. you have to make another thread if you have a problem.
sorry!
Ok. : ) You got it wrong. No problem. His case is different from mine. Just wanted to use her Brick in case. Nothing more. good luck.
I resolve my doubts alone. Nothing that Google does not respond. haha
At least before brick.
ok. let me ask google too xD
anyways..anyone have any idea of how to fix this boot loop?
im trying to do the Linux thing by running the ressurector ans the VM windows the forum is posted under development called hard brick recovery for galaxy 5.0
ok.(i have no idea what you are saying...just saying!)

[Q] Need help unbricking a z787

hello everyone
this phone is NOWHERE... i cant believe how few people have this phone in the hacking community.
I've used a guide seen here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCiq21WsFEc
essentially I rooted it in KK successfully. Then I installed TWRP through the twrp app... installed successfully. no error.
Went to reboot, phone does not get past splash. Recovery instantly goes to black (powered off) screen with red LED (tells me the phone is kind of on.. but some serious hardware misunderstanding taking place.)
How can I restore the stock recovery? While it is in this no-display-red-light mode it appears on my computer in DFU... so I know it is possible to still get in there, but I cannot find anything about the stock recovery for this phone.
Can't believe ZTE has little to no support for this phone...
Possible solution
That video seemed to be for the newer model of the zte grand x, thats why its called grand x plus. I had tried it on my phone and it was like stuck in a power up loop, what i did to get out of it is to go into recovery mode by pressing and hold the power button plus the up volume button. One i got in there i just rebooted it. Try that out and see if it works. Im still looking around for a solid root for this phone

help finding an A13 ROM

Hi!
I've been asked to "fix" a "broken" chinese tablet. The tablet won't boot; sometimes it get stucked at boot logo (some chinese brand I think), and sometimes get stucked at a black screen.
Power button+volume UP brings the layed-down-android-with-red-exclamation secreen, but no combination afterwards brings me the recovery menu. It also has a reset button on the backwards. I've pressed it several times, from 3 to 60 seconds, and it only resets like the reset button on a PC.
I've wiped data with some software I've found somewhere (android multi tools, a green DOS menu), but still I'm having the same issue.
I've read about reinstalling the firmware with phoenixcard, but I can't find the right one. I've uploaded some pictures to ask for help.
Thank you very much!
Try Livesuit 1.11.
I'm running FaaastJB v2.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447819
Flashed a few ROM's using Livesuit and works great

TCL P60 series Android TV, stuck in boot, any way to get into recovery?

So I have this one month old TCL P60 series Android TV, the model is U55P6046 to be exact.
After playing around with deactivating system apps (not rooted) the TV does not seem to finish boot.
After the TCL logo, I see the google android logo, but the boot never finishes. I tried google to see if I can find a way to perform a hard reset / factory reset somehow by entering recovery mode. But I can' t seem to find a way. There is no reset button or hole (which apperently the ROKU TV US model seem to have).
The TV has only three buttons on the bottom (left arrow, power and right arrow) but those don't seem to do the trick either. I tried all the sequences and everything I found for other Android TVs like Sonys, but I could not enter recovery mode.
Also the website (tcl.eu) is not much of a help either, does not mention anything related to a problem like that.
If someone has experience with a problem like that, feel free to help
Thanks!
*bump*
Download the new firmware from tcl website and put in a usb pen. Under the tcl logo on your tv there’s 3 hidden button. If I remember correctly you can enter in a sort of recovery mode while holding down the center key at boot.

"Broke" Coolpad Torino with TWRP - Help

Helloooo,
I have a big problem, cant get my phone running again.
The sad thing is, I just got it 4 hours ago
So heres what I have done to my Phone:
I rooted it with Kingo-Root and then installed a app where TWRP was listed, there also was CWM and stuff and I thought I have to flash my phone there with TWRP to install a new ROM and stuff and I clicked there on flash.
Then it asked me if I want to restart in, I cant remember recovery and/or download mode, I clicked yes and from there the trouble began.
When it starts the Coolpad Logo appears, then it say "Download and install the package?", to confirm volume up, to abort volume down. If I press abort, it just goes off, the restart may leads to the battery charging screen ( usb cable is always connected!!), if I press volume up, it says "Information - Do not disconnect data cable", but it says it for forever, nothing happens.
If data cable isnt connected, it shows Logo and then goes off, doesnt do anything.
I wish I would have never done that, Im too stupid for stuff like that.
Can someone help me out?
Hopefully
Hi are you able to enter in TWRP recovery in orden to try to flash him back to stock rom ?
Sadly no
I read some stuff on the internet, and tried it:
I installed andoid studio on my PC, with all that drivers, connected the Phone to my PC and looked it up in the device manager.
Before it was just recognized as "Other devices - Android" without any information, now I had the Hardware ID and put that into the setup text of Google drivers and installed them.
My PC somekind recognizes the phone. (but not like normally)
Maybe i can get the Stock Rom to phone that way somehow?
Edit: its called adb interface in device manager
Now I tried to set up the stock-rom via YGDP, and well, it kinda worked.
Im now out of this mode.
If I start the phone it makes its starting sound and it response to "key"-presses by vibrating, but, no screen, its just pitch black.
Its not listed in device-manager anymore.
Any suggestions?
bad support.

That is probably because you flash incompatible firmware which does not recognize display of your device .
Search on the internet for another genuine rom and repeat flashing process .
I had alsmost same issue when I flashed Blu Studio D572i with rom of D572a as I remember , was black screan completely but buttons are working (showing light) .
