I've spent hours trying to figure out how to get out of the boot loop but nothing works. I just get the logo on the screen. I wanted to flash a new os image to the rom, but now my computer cannot find the device at all. As an FYI, it has no volume button for doing a hard reset, it has a power button, an esc button and a reset pinhole. I have not found a combination that will get me out of this loop! HELP! (ps not a complete noob when it comes to computers but not far from it)
thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give me
Need a bit more info to try and be helpful

What tool(s) did you use to try and flash it (presume PhoenixSuite) ?
Where did the image(s) come from and for what device(s) were they originally targeted?
Do you by ANY chance have the stock recovery image? If so, you could try to re-flash IT and at least get back to a device that will BOOT.

Hello,
I have rooted my device and then downloaded CWM and tried to install Cyanogen Mod, I have tried this before and it just rebooted with nothing happening. This time the device would not boot past the motorola logo. I took out the battery and attempted to boot but again the device got stuck at the moto logo.
Can anyone help?
I am terribly sorry if this has been asked before or sounds like a nooby question, desktops and laptops are more my thing, don't know as much about mobile devices. Also there are not many helpful threads on the internet as apparently this is an underrated phone :/
Thanks for any help
The Motoluxe page suggested I do this
1. Power up the phone by pressing the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEYtogether + PWR KEY
2. The device will start up with Motorola logo and power up to a little Androidman logo with Exclamation mark
3. Tap the HOME soft key at the bottom of the device (In between the MENU andthe RETURN soft keys)
4. The device will display BLUE Text on a Black background
5. Press the VOL DOWN key till the Wipe data / factory reset is selected andpress the PWR key to confirm the selection
6. Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and pressthe PWR key to CONFIRM
7. The device will then start performing the Factory Data Reset
8. Once the Formatting is complete , press the PWR key to confirm a REBOOT
9. The message rebooting is displayed on the phone
10. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence
Which does not actually work

1st thing, cyanogenmod has an inbuilt recovery. After installing cm u SHOULD NOT install any other recoveries. For now I believe u r soft bricked. U ll need to fxz back to stock to come out of it.!
Sent from my OC ed mind.!

Do you think you could link me to a tutorial or something on how to do this please?
I read somewhere about holding Vol down and camera button while plugging in a USB cable so I tried it and this brought up a red screen with text that says
MBM Flash-mode.
IronMax
version: 0.1.11
Bootloader USB Init SECURE BOOT ENABLED

using the volume buttons on this screen does nothing, neither do the soft keys but pressing the power button says
Power key reset.

then it just gets stuck on the Motorola logo again
Ok Here is what I have and have done: :crying: :crying:
All I did was turn it off then screwing around I held the power button and vol+ and hit screen rotate lock switch as it was booting, then it read:
erasing userdata
unrecoverable bootloader error
And thats it. unfortunately adb is not turned on and now the tab will not boot past the secondary booting screen that reads Iconiatab, what is worse since I still have the stock recovery I cant flash anything that I have found. I have tried to flash the Stock A200 rom that is supposed to be stock recovery flashable but it only gets about 1/4th of the progress line before the dead android with the triangle !! sign appears. and of course I dont have the cpuid or sbk, so I cant flash anything in APX mode either.... I am really pulling my hair out here.. and really need some help here it is my nephews tab and he is going to be really upset if I cant fix it.
Any way this is the name of the rom that wont finish installing in the stock recovery flash :
(Stock Rom)Acer_A200_AV032.RV09RC08_AV041.RV04RC02_PA_CUS1_1330081316944_80bf3f7e_decrypted.zip
( I am not allowed to post links yet... But any way the download is at 4shared, and I got the link from the Acer Tablet Forums)
It is Titled Original Stock Rom, and it should have been able to have been flashed through the stock recovery, but di not, and I dont know if it is the rom, or the tablet that is the cause of it not flashing through the stock recovery....
And I have tried a few other update.zips to no avail, but that was the only full rom I found, and certainly the only one with the bootloader blob in it.
Does anyone have any kind of advice for me, or do you know where I could get a rom that will flash through stock recovery?
I dont understand why this happened, the tab was working just fine then I had to reboot it while screwing with the buttons...
So if anyone can help me I would be most grateful, and I can follow most any guide or instruction as long as it can be located.
Thank You
PS - The Tab is 100% stock, no root, no custom recovery, nothing....

The problem was solved by following a YouTube video covering this issue, the video was in spanish, but was rather easy to understand even with the language barrier.
Simply keep doing same boot method over, and over until it works! 12 tries for me then a succesfull boot!
Press the power button and vol+ until the tab vibrates, then flip the screen rotation lock switch.
The screen will read erasing userdata, then the red unrecoverable bootloader error (0x190000008), hold down the power until the tab shuts down.
Continually repeat the proccess, and eventually it will read erasing userdata, and follow with formating cache, then complete. The device will reboot, and it is back tonormal now the stock recovery will finish flashing the ota update.zip so long as you have the right stock rom.
Now you can continue on with your tab however you decide, root, install a custom recovery, and rom, and of course unlocking the bootloader in fastboot mode with oem-unlock
Thank you.
the person who posted before this was correct on pressing the vol up key and power then when vibrates release power but holding vol up switch the screen rotation switch from the right to the left and stay holding the vol up key until it show the android screen leave it be and it will be done once finished loading. You don't have to keep repeating the process one time will work if done correctly. the vol up button is the button to the right when holding in landscape view and the rotation switch should also be in the right most position to start. anyway other than those details it works and it will work the first time. Good luck!

This worked for me also!:laugh:
Hi. I am desperate. Two weeks ago I had to remove the power button of my S3 because the phone kept rebooting.
Now, I installed a ROM that ended into bootloops, so I need to enter into recovery mode. With the power button, this would be easy, however since I don't have it, I don't know what to do. I installed Boeffla kernel and Validus ROM when I got the boot loop.
To turn the phone on, what I did was to remove the battery, put it again, and then plug the phone for one second and unplug it. I tried pressing down volume + home while doing that, and it doesn't change anything. The pone will simply try to boot the ROM.
Is there any way to enter into recovery mode without a power button? Otherwise, I will have to throw my precious S3 to the trash, and I definitely not want that! Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Finally, I managed to fix it by performing adb reboot recovery while the phone was loading the ROM (during the ROM animation).
Nice tip ! Good to know and big thanks for your own reply.

Hey,
I installed TWRP as I have done many times before using the links from here and Odin, now all that happens is TeamWin flashes up every few seconds if I get into recovery, if I do adb reboot download, it just goes to the samsung splash screen and sits there forever. All I have access to is adb recovery, so I can open a adb shell, but from there I can do nothing.
I feel it is bricked, unless anyone knows what I can do from adb, any help would be greatly appreciated. It's not so much the issue twrp I need help with, I assume I did something wrong and that's caused the brick, but more the possible things I can do to fix.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help

So did you backup the original boot partition? If not, maybe just use odin and flash your rom back. The term 'bricked' means the device is completely unresponsive, that's not your case. It's not 'bricked'.

I 'think' I've sorted it, turning the device of in this state just don't seem to do anything or is too quick not sure.
If I get it into 'recovery' I can then do adb reboot and as soon as I hit enter hold both volume buttons and it makes it into download.
Currently reflashing the stock rom so thank you
