Ellipsis 8 Tablet softbrick? Help? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
The other day I finally found a way to root my Quanta Verizon Ellipsis 8 tablet QTAQZ3 with KingRoot. It was working great for about 3-4 days. I was finally able to use apps like Apps2SD to install my games and large apps on the SD card, use chainfire3D and the like and some other useful apps that actually worked to shutdown processes I didn't want running in the background to clear up a good 300MB of extra ram. It was working great.
The day before yesterday however I was routinely using the tablet and it was in the middle of loading Fifa16. Suddenly the tablet shutitself down and rebooted all on its own. When it rebooted however it only brought up the Android Splash screen for a few seconds, after that it goes to a blank Back-Lit screen(so I know its still on) and just sits there. I have left it there for 6 hours+ hoping it would eventually miraculously boot but it just sits there until the power button is held down to shut it off.
Now since I get it to power up and show the android splash screen and also access the recovery mode by holding PowerButton+Volume down I am hoping/assuming it is only softbricked.
I have tried to putting a new Rom.zip on the SD card and accessing "Update from external storage" in recovery mode, but I keep getting Permission Denied. I have tried burning a Rom image to the sd card to try to boot from it but nothing happens. I have tried Factory Reset in the recovery mode and it does basically nothing other than delete my user data. Upon reboot the same problem persists.
ADB doesnt seem to be an option because I can only get windows to install a Generic MTP Device driver(it does show up as the model number of the device properly QTAQZ3 though) but thats all it will do. Doesnt show up in drive list to access anything, cant install adb driver because it doesnt detect the device. I have tried forcing adb driver install but it just tells me the proper driver is already installed.
I am hoping somebody might be able to help me solve the ADB driver issue so I can sideload a new rom/bootloader to the device or help me figure why it keeps saying Permission Denied when trying to update .zip from my sd card.
Please help, thanks you.

Dang

Where dod you get the rom updat.zip?

same happened to me with kingo root on the QTAQ73 model

Any new development on this? I have the same issue except mine stays on the boot animation until the power runs dead or I shut it off.
Update - I ended up taking the tablet to Verizon and luckily I still had a week left of my warranty. Sent it in Monday got one sent back Saturday running Android 5.1.1 and rooted it with KingRoot. Working on swapping King with SuperSu but that's how I got it stuck in bootloop last time so I'm a bit cautious.

I [email protected] Verizon
I also have this problem. ellipsis 8 QTAQZ3 won't boot past the Verizon screen. Repair center wouldn't do anything for me, even though it's a software issue, because I'm outside of warranty time. Verizon sucks.
All the intelligent people tinkering with droid tablets and no one has an answer on this? I've looked everywhere.

Hello guys, i realize this is an older thread but the other day i soft bricked my Quanta Ellipsis 8 QTAQZ3... Can someone help me out with a stock rom for reflashing? Willing to donate for your support! Thank you!

I have a QTAQZ3 currently running 4.2.2. I captured the OTA url and downloaded an update bin file. I'm not exactly sure how bins compare to flashable zips, nor do I know what to do with a bin file. I am hoping that by posting it, someone with the right know-how can help us fix all these bricked tablets.

Hi all.
I'm wondering if anyone has a viable workaround for the pile of bloatware on the QTAQZ3, I was gifted on a few years ago and it is telling me that it is running out of room. The math for the misc junk file doesn't add up. Display counts 5.2 GB, and clicking the line often shows less than 3 MB.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloop

Had my Prime 2 days, got it rooted.
After ICS install and camera update it worked for a while. Then it rebooted and it's stuck in a bootloop. I can't even power it off.
Yes, I've used the reset pinhole.
I've rebooted into Asus recovery but all I get is the "dead droid" screen. I'm assuming it's because I don't have my SD card in.
Any suggestions?
I'm thinking that if I can get my hands on the stock ICS zip direct from Asus I might be able to run that.
I suspect, from this thread that the issue might be that the Launcher has gotten corrupted.
Update:
Ran the battery till the unit shut off and didn't reboot.
Charged the battery for 4+ hours, unplugged it and tried to boot up. Same story, bootloop.
ADB sees my Prime and can issue commands.
Any suggestions? I'm getting desperate here.
Edit again: I can pull a logcat, any suggestions what I'm looking for? I'm not sure what subset of Linux commands are in Android, can I do a kill -9 if I identify a rogue process?
I'm pretty sure top won't work, and a lot of my Linux knowledge is pretty rusty.
Same here
I'm stuck in boot. I rooted it from zedo's instructions (that guy is a whoot!). Afterwards I installed "VM Heap Tool"(by martino), restarted the tab from the VM app and it got stuck in the boot screen.
I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I don't really know codes, so I'm pretty much up a creek without a paddle.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
Bumble-Bee has solved this issue for you on IRC but I figured we should post the solution to *your* specific problem here for others. Hopefully it helps them if they run into a simular issue.
With a boot loop try shutting down the tablet by holding power for 30 seconds. If it doesn't shut down then hold power for 30 seconds and after it vibrates hold power and volume down. This should get you into the recovery process.
The first thing to do in trying to resolve this issue (and what solved it for Col_kernel) was to do a data wipe using the recovery menu. Directions on how to perform this can be found here . this will solve the majority of bootloop issues.
The second thing to try to do is to perform a recovery using a signed zip from Asus. the ICS 9.4.2.11.1 is the latest one as of this thread and can be downloaded at the link provided there. Download that and place it on a microsd card. Load the card into your prime and boot into recovery and perform a recovery.
after that, start asking for help
I tried both solutions suggested and they didn't work for me, however I modified the services.jar in systems\framework. Looks like it tries to recover and then goes to an android on his back with an exclamation mark. I can't get adb to recognize my device either. I'm assuming my only options are to send it back to Asus or wait til I can flash at this point?
I should have said that I have already done the reset. Also, I cannot install anything on the tablet, since I cannot even access it. My PC won't even recognize it.
Update: I just spoke with Asus support. They said that if all these options are exhausted, I should return the tablet. That's what I'm going to do today. [good thing I have all my apps backed up. #TiBu!]
I had a dreaded boot loop issue a week or two ago..
I attempted to root the prime using Max Lee's one click using my MBP..
ADB failed to push SU up properly but the script kept running.
After waiting an eternity I bounced the tab to find it in eternal bounce mode and complaining of a corrupted launcher.
Luckily enough I was able to still detect the device and run ADB commands, so I was able to run the same root method (under windows this time) which worked a treat.
Had me really worried for a while, but got the device working again and rooted it (win win)
Anyway, it's interesting that a rogue file or an incomplete binary in the /system/bin folder (which shouldn't have been called by anything) was causing the boot loop!

Odd. I had the same issues. I started rooting mine on my mac, then finally moved to my pc. It rooted flawlessly on my pc.
So, I don't know if it was the root with a corrupted file, or the VM Heap Tool that I activated in it that caused it to get stuck in bootloop. But... I didn't restart the tablet until after the VM Heap Tool. In other words, it could have done the same thing without the VM Heap, I just wouldn't have known it, because I didn't restart it right after the root.
Make sense?

[Q] Cannot find USB Driver

I have a BLU Quattro 4.5 android device and when I try to connect via USB Debug mode and run ADB Device it will not find my phone. I have searched high and low in order to locate the driver with no luck. The generic USB driver from google won't even work. I have even run emulator from the phone and when I type: pm set-install-location 2, it comes back with Killed and then back to command prompt. When I type: pm get-install-location it comes back as 0[auto]. My phones main memory is 1 gb and 1.5 internal usb memory. With all of the main system apps updated on the main drive, the phone cannot handle ANY other apps, even when I put apps on the usb memory it is very sluggish. I need help in trying to install and run all of the apps from the external sd card and just have the system apps running on the main disk. I would also like any help in finding the driver needed to access the phone in ADB.

Good news! I just bought the same phone, and I'm waiting on delivery as we speak. From the reviews I've read so far this phone delivers the most bang for the buck. I just hope that we'll be able too root it soon. How do you like it so far?

I have one as well and was able to root it with the latest bin4ry tool! Hopefully Blu will enhance their customer support as they gain more popularity and release some source code or dev tools for the phone. Or at least, since it's rooted, the device can eventually gain support from any devs.
Kah,
Can you post root instructions for us, please?
Sorry, I would've posted before but I wasn't sure if that would move the thread off track. It was very easy actually:
Make sure adb recognizes the device (mine said 123ABCDEF... or something like that for some reason. It doesn't matter apparently).
- Also I'm using windows 7 and after allowing the few default drivers to install, it worked instantly. ( I believe. I do remember messing around with some other software, but I think that was in hopes of finding a root tool. If you have any issues, I can post the names of other software I tried. The OP's method could possibly work too)
I downloaded Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v23.
- there's a new version out now, but I would expect it to work as well
I choose the normal mode and followed the directions.
- If I remember correctly, it gives you the option to install superuser or super su. I chose superuser, and it worked. But after using it for a bit, it gave me lots of issues with root privileges, so I installed super su from the market and I haven't had an issue since.
Any Information posted in this thread is Great!
I don't mind taking this off track of what the original thread. I like it that it is progressing the way it is, helps me out with other questions and anyone else that starts off with my problem probably wants additional information on what else could be done with these phones.

I am still having issues with ram and touchscreen when main storage location gets full. It becomes very unresponsive and the touchscreen becomes very sluggish. Some things I cannot move to the external sd card and all the installed apps still get installed on primary drive even after changing default install location. I need to figure out how to install and run everything, including the android os.

I doubt I'll get much help on this, but I'll give it a shot. I just got my Quattro 4.5 today, and tried to root it with Bin4ry. It never did the first reboot, it just turned the phone off. After a few minutes I turned it back on still connected to USB, Bin4ry tried to finish, but gave a permission denied error on the superuser apk. Now my phone is in continuous boot loop, it gets to the lock screen, but says Go Laucher and system UI has stopped, then reboots. Is this thing bricked? Holding volume down and power just goes to a modem download screen, but no USB connection or anything. :crying:

I'm sorry to hear than man. Which version of Bin4ry did you use? You could try quickly using adb to boot into recovery mode while the phone is still in the process of booting. You'd have to keep sending
Code:
adb reboot recovery
until adb recognizes the device. Hopefully, it'll restart into recovery before it crashes. Not sure if it'll work, but it's an idea.

Everything is fixed! I figured out how to get into recovery. I was able to do a factory reset from there and everything came back, actually maybe better. Then I found an old version of Bin4ry, v15, and tried again. This time it worked perfectly. This phone is pretty awesome, I just wish there was developer support for it.

Great! How'd you manage to get into recovery mode despite the boot loop? In case anyone else runs into the same issue.

Hold volume up and power until it turns on. As soon as the screen changes to green, I let go of the power button and keep holding the volume up button until it's in recovery mode. It seems the power button release has to be timed right or else it just sits on the green screen, or powers off again. It takes a couple of tries for me. I probably did 10 factory resets last night before finally getting it rooted, lol. The built in recovery has an option to flash from external storage, kind of makes me wonder how easy this phone would be to get CWM working. Of course, the real problem is getting developers to write the custom ROMs for it. The only thing this $230 phone is missing from its $600 cousins is 4G LTE, but on Tmobile it doesn't even matter right now. It's still blazing fast even on stock with no overclock, I can't imagine how much more awesome it would be with a custom rom.

Can anyone post a link of where I'll find the proper drivers? It just shows BLU with an exclamation in my Device Manager. The PDANET trick did not work as it won't detect the device. - and if I can get this working, I'll post an actual tutorial for it.
If anyone could post an update.zip of the original rom that would be fantastic. - and clockwork 6 will run on our devices with some work. but right now, mine is a brick, it still has recovery but the stock rom is effed.
I'm in the same situation. I deleted my contacts.apk in hopes of replacing it with a stock version, now it's stuck in a boot loop, and factory reset doesn't help.
Alright guys, I hit the jackpot. I have CM 10.1 working on my Quattro 4.5. It all began when I read somewhere on the xda forums that the Quattro 4.5 and k-touch v9 are essential the same phone. I said before, my phone was bricked so I figured I do some more research and see what I could do. Turns out that person as right. I found a website ( http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/k-touch/k-touch-v9/ ) that has 3 roms for the v9, CM 10.1, MIUI 3.4.5, and CM 10, and instructions to install them. I decided to take a leap of faith and follow the directions given for CM 10.1. The installation directions for custom recovery CWM 6.0.1.1 worked perfectly - only problem is after you've installed the recovery, the menus are in Chinese.
Once again, My phone was bricked and essentially completely erased. If your phone isn't bricked, it should be fine as long as you do a factory reset before. I would suggest doing this before installing the CWM recovery because I have no clue how to do the reset using the Chinese menu.
I downloaded the CM 10.1 rom from the website above and gapps for 4.2.2 as well (you can find this with google). If you're using one of the other roms, obviously make sure you're using the proper gapps version.
ADB works while in recovery so use this to push the zips to the phone. I say this because I've discovered the sd card directory changes depending if your phone is bricked or not (i.e. /emmc vs /sdcard).
Flash the rom zip, then gapps - select the 2nd option in the main menu then in the following menu, the 4th option. This should lead you to the directory containing your zip files. Choose the appropriate one, and let the CWM work its magic. ( also from messing around I can also tell you the first option in the main menu is to reboot)
Once you've reboot, everything should work perfectly - WIFI, bluetooth, brightness, camera, video recording, audio, microphone, not a single problem except the volume being much louder than before. It's amazing. I have straighttalk's $30 plan, so I'm still stuck with a dumbphone until I bump up to the unlimited everything at the end of the cycle, so I can't test the phone radio, but I would expect it to work considering everything else does as well. Let me know if I left something out. I would test the other roms, but I'm so happy and content with my phone working again, I don't want to go through the effort just yet.
I found a way to create an English recovery that works from the Chinese version. Just replace the recovery.img provided with this one. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5y6r9gvspvouhbo/recovery.img I don't think this should cause any issues because it hasn't for me, but remember you are using this at your own risk. Though if an issue does arise, I'll try my best to help.
Install with English Recovery?
Did you install with the English recovery, because I am stuck at CM10.1 boot screen installing with the English recovery.

Verizon Ellipsis 7 Unbricking?

I am assuming no one has bricked this device yet but I believe I just did I am rooted and stuck at a welcome screen if anybody has a solution please help! if not I'm going to the store Saturday and telling them a silly lie
Yeah I just did too :/ I installed chainfire 3D and now it stays at the Verizon loading screen. It doesn't shut off, only reboots to this screen. Safe mode doesn't work. I'm hoping there is a way to fastboot, factory restore, etc. via USB. But I think I'm SOL
I just went up to the Verizon store and play dumb I was able to get mine replaced

Really hoping someone has came out with a unbrick/really BootLoop of Doom...
So I know a little about android and learn quick and there is very little information on the verizon ellipsis 7. Just so happens I bought one from a side shop and figured out Framaroot will easily root this device. Well you can guess what happen from there. All was going well until i rebooted with rom toolbox pro to change the font format for the second time. Now ever since it hasn't made it past the verizon screen and i cant take it back. Is there any possible way at all of somehow getting a custom recovery on this thing? Or even better a unbrick/bootloop? Oh and I CAN get it to go into stock recovery. Tried the Clear eMMC and Safe Mode but no luck.
Im in the same situation, I'm not able to boot into safe mode and clearing the emmc (formatting /data) doesn't seem to help either. I believe /data is just the user saved data, system data remains the same and is still corrupted. I had rooted, installed xposed framework and a few modules, rebooted fine the first time, but when I went to go change a setting within Ultimate Dynamic Navbar to make the stock navbar hide or not to hide, the script it used killed the tablet and now my wife's valentines day present is stuck in a bootloop. I'm going to try and take it back to verizon tomorrow after work, hopefully I can get yet another free tablet from big red... rvajuggalo said he was able to get it replaced right away even though it was rooted, anyone think I'll be fine taking it back as well? Or should I just wait til someone comes out with a fix for this issue?

If anyone has a clean copy of the system or firmware directories can you please share with me? --- Also if anyone knows how to get into the stock recovery without android debugging please explain? On a final note if anyone has a custom recovery that they could share that would be amazing as well. I'm in a bootloop and have been stuck in it for a couple weeks. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Maybe you can use it. I need some hands on guidance flashing these. way too many tutos,way too many fllashtools, way too many drivers, usb cables, homemade serial cables, linux distros ,windows xp,7,8,8.1, hours, days,weeks,....... you get the picture.

I know it can be done, i would like to learn from someone who ddoes it. its taking way to long to teach myself. and i still kinda like my wife but i doubt shell take much more.

If you're willing to open the back plate. (Back plate just pulls off. I'd suggest opening the sim/sd card slot and using that to pull it off. You need to disconnect the battery wait a few seconds, reconnect and then boot into recovery.
1. Black plate removal
2. Disconnect battery
3. Wait a few seconds
4. Reconnect battery
5. Press and hold Power and Down volume button until you see "Powered by Android"
6. Release the power button continue to hold down volume
7. Once in Factory recovery mode choose your best option
(I just factory reset it)
:good:
-love
A new development, possibly.

After making edits in system files I broke my QMV7B. Hangs on powered by android logo. In a panic, I wiped emmc from factory more (Chinese).. This reset ADB keys, and complicated matters further. After some digging I may have caught a break... I have figured out a way to stop and suspend the tablet in it's pre boot, or preloader, state. While suspended, it maintains COM3 connection with SPFT, and does not power cycle on and off. It also successfully installs it's onboard Preloader driver without error. Problem is that I need help attempting flash (for best chances)...
needing stock 4.4.4 fit the qmv7, or possibly advice on stock recover if possible.. I have successfully flased devices with Odin before, and have rooted almost every I have had.. I just want the best chance for success, and not to full brick the tab.. this could also be a solution for newer devices as well, but would like to for a good developer to speak with me before I post my findings. I will also post if I get the stock room compatible for flashing with SP Flash tool.. thanks guys..
Help
Please post specifics on how you achieved suspending in Preloader mode. That would help me alot.
I really need the un-rooted qmv7a stock rom, if any one could provide, that would be fan-freaking-tabulous lol...
no, for real i need the stock rom. I'd really appreciate it.
BTW
if you wanna get clean root on this device, i suggest this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748169
(has nothing to do with my need for a clean start, that was my own carelessness...)

Hey man it's been 5years & I just wanna say thank you for posting this as I just managed to get into factory mode thanks to your comment xD. factory mode didn't help me a bit but maybe when I get to a PC I can use mtk tools to get a shell or something from there. Thanks again and if anybody has anything more than what's on here about this tablet please contact me as I feel like the last human on Earth with one ????
Yeh
I have one??
And Reading all topics about rooting this tablet...i'm afraid to do that?

Blu studio G, Rooted, OTA, Death.

Good day all
Need some help with my phone?
Blu studio G
The issue:
I had my phone rooted using kingroot.
I wanted to play Pokémon go and thought maybe a update to the os would make it work.
I forgot I had rooted the phone and did an ota update D:
my phone will boot only to the recovery screen.
So now I have the recovery screen and nothing more, will not load past it. I have tried getting the stock rom and placing it on the sd card however it fails to load ( will not update). I may not have the right rom? I thought also well F it I’ll pop on a custom rom one found on this site ( mystic os)
Again when placed on sd card and told to update from sd it does not work….
So I am lost as to what I can do. When plugged into my pc I hear it get auto detected then it dies and get auto detected again and keeps looping . I tried using fastboot but the phone seems to not be being picked up by windows right… also used the blu drivers for windows…
I am at a loss and am hoping someone has an idea of something for me to try…. I have the android sdk but no idea how to use it (was thinking I might need to use adb ???)
any and all help would be much appreciated
self bump :crying:

Lg l16c Lucky fastboot?

Carrier is Tracfone, running android 4.4.2, and is rooted with kingoroot.
I can get to factory reset menu by holding vol down + power, releasing power only and holding again at LG logo, but can't seem to find download mode/fastboot. I have searched all over the place and I personally don't like posting on forums, but this phone is at the edge of unusable because I tried to replace home app with a third party, and now it crash loops the setup wizard making usb debugging unable to be accessed from the settings menu. But I have the home app's apk and can install it, if I can get adb working somehow, like through fastboot, which bring me to the actual problem: There isn't a fastboot, or I haven't found a way to activate it yet for this phone. I tried all kinds of different combinations and searched all over the internet looking for help. Nothing. but If download mode is accessible, is there a way to install apps via download mode? I don't know that much about download mode, just heard about it.
If this doesn't make sense/topics are wandering, sorry, I have been tired from thinking hard and working on another project that is actually doing better at murdering my brain then school.
Don't think so
I bought this phone last January. For a cheap phone it performs rather well. I rooted with Kingroot v4.5 and used the mrwolf script to replace Kinguser with SuperSu. Of course I had to modify the script for that version of Kingroot, the LGL16C's files that were affected by Kingroot, and the newer version of SuperSu I installed. This phone taught me how to manually replace Kinguser with SuperSu by only using RootExplorer. Pretty neat trick, have been able to do it with every cheap phone I've tried.
I had my LG Lucky rocking. Had Xposed installed, Luhkee Pasher worked great, Apps2SD partitioned my sdcard and moved apps to ext_sdcard and was running a swap partition for extra RAM. This little phone would format and partition sd cards that my more expensive devices would not.
It was a great disappointment when I discovered that the phone had no recovery. I was equally disappointed when I discovered that I couldn't use fastboot with it. If it has download mode, I have yet to discover that as well. I've searched the web high and low, numerous times at different intervals these past eight or nine months hoping that someone would post a factory firmware file, thread on how to install a recovery, how to install fastboot, etc...
I loaned my LG Lucky out to someone who had no means of accessing the internet a few weeks ago and they somehow soft bricked it. It turns on to the LG logo and stops. Without a recovery it's boned because adb "error: no devices/emulators found".
I have a backup.zip from TitaniumBackup but can't flash it. I pulled the firmware from the device when it was operational but have no way to push it back. So if you need any file or app from /system I have them.
I'm going to buy another one or two if I can find one. I think a person could use gparted to partition the hard disc for a recovery and a download mode. Right now it's over my head but I love to learn.
Also, this morning, I downloaded the tools and files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/unbrick-lg-model-download-recovery-t3060184 If I can get something out of this phone by using this guide, I'll use the ROM Kitchen I have downloaded to make a ROM from the files I pulled previously with ADB.
I'll be sure to post back here with the results from using the guide.
