I acidently bricked my Chinese clone tablet. I got it from Aliexpress (here is the URL http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/7000961874.html?orderId=70071566001044) I can get into TWRP OK. but when I boot into the OS I just get short lines across the center of the screen. If this was a PC I would guess it is a problem with the video card driver. Not sure if the same guesses apply here. I did a backup but it ended up corrupted and unusable. Would anyone have some suggestions of ROM's I could try to bring this back to life? When it was working, was looking around in the files, in one of the boot areas found a ton if SAMSUNG logo stuff, not sure if this make it a Samsung clone.
It was/is called a model N9106 or N9101 (forgot which) and the number HK-MTK6582 were in there if that helps.
Thanks in advance for any hints.

Hey
I did something really stupid today, and i am hoping to get some help.
I recently bought an Galaxy S4 replica (gt-i9500), from Mediatek. It was working fine at first and looked like a pretty stable replica but it had some apps and stuff i didnt want so i did a factory reset. After that a Mediatek logo loaded up every time i would turn my phone on, (when i got it it would only display the stock samsung logo). I read a couple of articles on the internet which said you could change that by replacing the boot_logo on (device/media/images) But I accidentally deleted a folder named ''bin''. I had already made a copy of all system directory on my sdcard so i tried moving "bin" back to its place but that didnt work. And now the phone wont turn on at all, it just displays the stupid Mediatek logo.
What can i do? Did i brick my phone?
P.S The phone was rooted with Framaroot.
I was able to get it to Android system recovery and i was wondering if i could install an new rom from the sd card. I dont know what ROM should i choose, will cyanogenmod work on it???? Or if someone could find me an stock ROM for it... Please help me because i dont what to do.
Hi,
Yesterday I followed the instructions on this site (sammobile.com) in order to test kitkat on my tablet:
but unfortunately got a hard brick on my poor note 10.1.
I have been searching for possible methods to fix it, but may be the only way is replacing the motherboard.
The device doesn't switch on ... no logo, no sounds, no signs of trying to boot .... I have tried to enter download or recovery mode ... unsuccessfully (The tablet was working ok with the previous version: 4.1.2).
Any idea about what to do, would be highly appreciated.
If you need additional information, feel free.
Thank you very much in advance for any collaboration.
Regards, F

The only way is to replace the motherboard like you mentioned.Hard brick isn't undo-able , only a softbrick is.
Hello everyone. This is a long story, so thanks in advance to read it and try to help me.
I've got a Trekastor surftab Ventos 8.0 this one --> http://www.trekstor.de/detalles-de-surftabs/product/272.html?file=tl_files/generatedPdf/272-de.pdf
model st80208-2 . I'm not sure if it is the 8 or 16 GB. And I don't know how to check it because the tablet is bricked.
How did I brick the tab?
This is a good question. I had lost the charger and I tried with another one with a higher voltage. This ruined the batery. And when I found the charger the tablet show a strange behaviour. It was trying to start but reboot before to finish. I was able to finish a full boot but the batery only works for a few minutes. After solve the batery problem, now I can start the tablet without problem about the voltage but, it seems like all this failed attemps to boot have made some damage somewhere.
What I have now?
The tablet start. It show's the trekstor logo. After that it show's the android logo, and that's all. It stuck's looping in the android logo.
What I have tried?
Everything.
1.- Custom recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039964 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995984
This method not working in my tablet even when it was not bricked. (I tried it, when I was trying to get root access a month ago).
Power + Volumen (-) gets nothing at all. It's start normally. (and loop in my currently situation)
Power + Volumen (+) gets this screen http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/android-recovery-mode.jpg and anything happens no matter what button I'm pressing even with the custom recovery in the sdcard.
2.- I tried to flash the tablet, but I didn't find information about how to do it and trust me, I have searched a lot.
I triend with this software: "Amlogic Image Burning Tool v.1.6.2.2" and this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039964 . But I get the error "find no upgrade config, please load it manually". I'm pretty sure I doing something wrong, but I have no experience with this software or flashing in general.
That's all for now I'm tired of reading this forum and this other one in german. (thanks to google translator) http://www.android-hilfe.de/surftab-ventos-8-0-forum/ and I did not find anything useful for me
You people are my only hope. (Any Star wars fan in the room?:laugh:
So any help would be wonderful, thanks in advance and sorry for my mistakes, english is no my mother language.
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.
Samsung GalaxyTab 7.0 Plus
I know this device is a bit older, I got it used, when I received the tab, it was bricked... I've gone through a full recovery and it's not booting anything since I tried reinstalling an OS, even if all you give me is a place to begin looking I'd like to see if I can figure out what's wrong with the install I ran, and why the tab is still behaving like a paperweight. any assistance you can give me would be greatly appreciated
