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!

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 everybody,
I have an issue with my TFPrime (latest build JB 4.1.1, unlocked bootloader). I was trying to install CyanogenMod but I ended up messing a procedure and my device seems to be bricked
Let me explain : I followed the Urkel's fresh start procedure and made a spell mistake in the system.blob name. The procedure failed and now my device is stuck on the splashscreen though I can still access fastboot and the bootloader screen.
I tried to use IRC to fix it with people who know what they are dealing with but despite the helpful tips I got, the tab is still stuck and currently battery-low (it keeps rebooting I could'nt shut it down).
When I chose RCK in the bootloader menu I hava a unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000
When I chose Android "Cold booting linux / Signature match" and then it just freezes
I can use fastboot.
Do you think there's something I could do to try to fix it or should I buy a grave?
Any help would mean a lot to me,
Thanks for reading my post!
It's been two weeks, does nobody have the solution? Should I try somewhere else, any other forum that could help? I am quite desperate (and I feel stupid and ashamed)...
Hi, please you this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088
It seems you have 'brick 2'. Unfortunately this is a hard brick and the device can not be recovered sorry for the bad news
Thanks for your concern!
I'm not sure it's brick 2, I think it's more likely brick n°3 since I can still access fastboot. I'm losing hope to see it turn on normally again :'(
Hi I have an Allwinner A10 clone (Kurio 7), it is designed for kids but otherwise a standard android tablet.
After hours of googling I rooted and installed CWM & Gapps (not included in the stock ROM). So far so good.
The stock ROM was causing issues with some apps, it needed to go.
I flashed CM10 and it worked but no touch screen. It needed a compatibility flash to make it work. You can guess what's coming. I picked the wrong one and now the device does the following:
Reboot loop
Black screen (backlight though)
PWR+Vol up no longer gets to recovery
Vibrates constantly between reboots (due to wrong patch I'm guessing)
ADB picks up the device for a split second between reboots but "adb reboot recovery" does nothing. Even when using wait command.
Tried "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" after wait command, no luck.
Is there anything else I can try?
I fixed this.
I used the GoClever TAB A73 ROM and instructions in their support/update/download area.
Sorry I cannot post links as I am still a newbie.
Anyway flashing using Livesuit this fixed the problem.

I guess this is the site he is refering to:
http://www.goclever.com/uk/support,c3/software-update,a28.html?aic=5&aia=185&ail=10
The LiveSuit pack is there for download, as well as the roms.
But there are three different 4.0 roms to choose from, and also a couple of 2.3 roms. I dont know which one he did use.
Since your Kurio 7 is bricked anyway, I guess you can try one by one and see if any of them work.
Please tell which one, if you succeed.
Okay, first time posting here. I searched a lot but there is no solution I can find or I am not good enough to do it without any help. If I posted in the wrong place, sorry. I found other topics which did not help at all.
My phone is stuck in a boot loop, it's rooted with a simple root button and it has no recovery on it (cwm/twrp)
It's stuck in a boot loop, I can go in fastboot mode or android recovery.
I tried to flash roms from the sd card however I get the ''instalation aborted'' message and I do not know what to do.
I really do need help to fix it ASAP.
If anyone could be able to help me fix this I would be deeply happy and thankful, I have skype available or any other.
Can anyone help me fix this please?
SP flash tool. Look for it on YouTube.
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.
So i have this tablet named VIRGO MID7575 . It is one of those cheap chinese tablets. I have been messing around with some permissions (following a tutorial) to make the boot be faster but i got a bootloop instead. I can't access the stock recovery (i think it is Volume Up+Power?) and i do not have CMW since it is hard to install it on these tablets. The tablet is rooted. The specs are in the box, but unfortunately i don't have it anymore. Is there anyway to fix this problem? How can i access the stock recovery in a tablet like this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Note: If you want more info, i will try and add them to this post.
