i flashed my Bluewave 8 HD+(Kitkat-i flashed my tab several times before but same Stock OS) using Rockchip Batch Tool provided by the manufacturer's website(http://www.wavetablet.com/wave8hd-ma...irmwareupdates) and downloaded the Marshmallow OS.
The flashing went flawless and after it finished flashing and tried to turn ON my Bluewave Tablet(with its new Marshmallow OS),the device will just turn on with the lights but no display.tried to poke the Reset Hole to no avail. I tried to connect said Tablet to my computer and it works as a normal(working)tablet,device drivers installed.From Computer,said Tablet is now connected as a Media Player device(before was Mass Storage,same as a USB Stick inserted to port) and i can see the storage info of the tablet from the computer.
Problem:
i want to reflash my Bluewave Tablet back to its Stock ROM(Kitkat) using the same Rockchip Batch Tool but it will no longer be detected by the said Tool( all drivers were installed).
Additional Info:
Volume Buttons- NO
Home(Physical)Button- NO
thanks in advance,
Jovi
I know this is too old. but I'd like to answer this since mine got the same problem. I just did some random press both power and reset button while observing Rockchip Tool to change "1" device monitor/status fortunately it suddenly goes green then i immediately 'hit' the upgrade button with the Firmware that works with my device. and viola solves the problem.
thanks bro,i'll get back to you after doing your advice. =)

Hi,
I have on my tf201 latest official firmware, 4.1.1 build-number: JRO03C.WW_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122.
As Asus doesn't provide any more updates for our device and mine is out of warranty I'm finally ready to move on to some custom roms.
My tablet is Rooted.
Now after a lot of reading I thought it would be wise to do a backup of everything and make my device unbrickable.
I started to follow the instructions on this site : matthill.eu/android/transformer-prime-tf201-jellybean-nvflash
At first I backed everything up with Titanium Backup and then I did a factory reinstall, so I would have a clean tablet to start.
Then I installed the unlocking tool and succesfully unlocked my device.
I restarted my tf201 with holding the volume button down to get the options to enter fastboot.
When I got to the selection menu, I press the volume button a few times to select the USB-icon.
Then I press the volume up button to enter fastboot, but nothing happens. It just freeze.
The only thing I can do is hold the power button until my tablet restarts.
Also, since i'm on JB I never could connect it on my pc anymore. It even doesn't show up as an unknown device.
So when I want to use ADB I have to use ADB Konnect (wireless ADB).

When you press up on the USB icon and it freezes that it normal.. This is fastboot mode.
You now must access it over a PC after installing the naked drivers.. If it is not showing on your PC then either try a different PC or your cable is faulty.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried once more to enter fastboot. Same result.
But when I disconnected my usb cable to connect it to an other computer, suddenly I got this message on my tablet:
"Starting Fastboot USB download protocol"
This message didn't show up before.
I plugged the tablet back to my pc, but still no device detection in device manager, even when refreshing (So I can't install naked drivers, as it is not recognized).
My computer is a Windows 8.1 system.
I restarted my tablet again, (after disconnecting it from my pc) and followed the procedure to enter Fastboot again.
I waited for the message "Starting Fastboot ..." and then I connected the cable to my other pc (Windows 7 system)
Same result as on the Windows 8.1 machine, not recognized
You say it could be that my cable is broken. Maybe, but it's a strange coincidence that this happened when switching from ICS to JB.
I know JB for the tf201 is been out a long time, and I updated since I could. So over time, maybe my cable could be broken now. But I'm sure I had this problem (not recognizing) since then, because right after updating I wanted to do some things with ADB and so I found out I had this problem.
Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
Hey guys,
Recently I ordered the Allwinner A13 (Q88) from DealExtreme. I wanted to flash a custom ROM onto it, but following all the guides I still can't manage to get it. First of all, I noticed that the firmware it came is 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, as opposed to 4.1 as they had written on the site. Anyways, I managed to get the storage drivers (computer can see the device and I can put files onto it), but I'm not sure about ADB, because the computer says nothing when I connect it in debug mode and it just makes a noise that a USB device is connected. I tried using LiveSuit to flash it, and after watching some guides that tell you to hold down the volume + key and press the power button 6 times, I found out it only works when I hold down the power button, and even when I do that it says that the USB device is not regognized (error 43). I have Windows 8.1, but I tried to do the same thing on my Vista laptop, and after I do that there, it connects and disconnects, and says that the device was unplugged. I wanted to know, how can I flash it? Is it a driver problem or the tablet is just faulty in that matter? I tried using Uberizer and that doesn't find my device as well. I would really be thankful if someone could help me out, because I want to install a custom ROM. Thanks!
Have you tried the Tech Know forums : http://www.techknow.me/forum/index.php?board=130.0 ? They are quite resourceful when it comes to cheap tablets or devices.
Good evening everybody,
I have a big problem somehow my Tablet z SGP-321 got a complete wipe of the internal storage (don't know how, if through stupididy or technical mishap). Is there anyway that I can get it back to functioning? I can get a red LED on the Tablet and every now and then with luck I can get it to boot showing the Sony image but then it shuts off again. I can't even get the pc companion to recognize the tablet furthermore the repair option of the application. can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance

ok I have downloaded the flash tool and android 4.4.4 and I tried to flash but I can not get past the window where it asks to connect the device to the computer using the vol. down button (apparently it is not detecting the device) i have also tried the blu funtion which also is not functioning.

it seems that drivers are not installed needed for flashmode/fastboot.
I've been booting LibreELEC/CoreELEC from SD card on my AZW (Beelink) W95 (S905W) box for years now. Yesterday I tried booting into the stock Android system (7.1 I think- I haven't done it for a while) but it wouldn't boot. Not being one to leave well enough alone I decided to try a reset using a toothpick in the reset hole by the power plug. It flashed the start screen for a split second and then stopped. After that it wouldn't boot off the CoreELEC SD card either.
I've tried a clean CoreELEC install, stock firmware, Amlogic Burn Card Maker, and TWRP on the SD card - none of them get me past a black screen.
I don't think the reset button is doing anything (I depress it while plugging in the power jack). In fact, I don't know if it ever worked. My box had previously always booted off a SD card if it was inserted in the slot without having to do anything special.
My box isn't completely dead but comatose. The signs of life are:
1) The blue LED comes on when I plug in the power cord.
2) After about 20 minutes or so the blue LED will go off. If I press the power button on the remote it comes back on.
3) My router sees it on my network as active. But I get connection refused when I try access it using Windows File Explorer or try to SSH into it using Putty.
4) When I insert a SD card into the slot it writes Andriod and LOST.DIR folders to it.
I haven't tried the Amlogic USB Burning Tool yet because I don't have an USB 2.0 Type A male to male cable - but I've ordered one. My concern is I won't be able to put it in reset mode since I'm not sure the reset button does anything (but I can feel it click).
Is there anything else I should try while I'm waiting for my cable to arrive?
Any recommendations on how I should proceed once my cable arrives?
Thanks

Hi, your device seems to be in a strange state currently, only thing i can reccomend is trying a few firmwares to see what works for you, you should be able to flash most s905w based roms, if your device cant be detected by USB burn tool you might need to use ask Rom Mode" to force your box to be detected by burn tool, this makes it almost impossible to brick a box
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm a complete newbie at this.
Is the Ask ROM Mode an option in USB Burning Tool?
I have an OEM W95 firmware update file (in both .img and and an OTA in .zip format) but they may be older than what is currently on the box. I also found a TWRP file for the S905W. But I don't know how to use any of these.
I downloaded the AMLogic Tools 6.0.0 and tried the AMLogic Flash Tool since it seems to work through the Ethernet port. I assumed this because you access the box via an IP address but I really don't know. I watched the video but couldn't find any detailed instructions on how to use it.
When I pressed the Connect button it said it connected and I had the green Connected display (I was connecting through my LAN - I don't know if I should connect directly with an ethernet cable). I loaded my .img file and said Flash. It says it is flashing and a second or so later it says SUCCESS! However the box still doesn't boot. I tried both Boot and Recovery (I don't know which option I should choose). I think that the SUCCESS! message is incorrect since I get the message even if I press the Flash button without the box connected. However, I can't connect to the box without the ethernet cable connected so the connected message seems correct.
Am I using the AMLogic Flash Tool correctly?
I was thinking about trying the S905W atvExperience ROM but thought I'd wait until I got my USB cable before before doing something more drastic.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
OK, so my male to male USB cable arrived and I managed to get my box un-bricked using AMLogic USB Burning tool with a factory .img file. It took several tries. I kept getting errors when it tried to erase the bootloader or would get to 7%, progress would stop for about a minute, and then Burning Tool would close.
I finally got it to proceed all the way by holding in the reset button, plugging in the USB cable (no power cable), and keeping the reset button pushed the whole time (I don't know if this was just a coincidence). Also, I hadn't closed Burning Tool after the previous error erasing the bootloader. I'm posting all this in case someone else has a similar problem.
After that, it still wouldn't boot of the CoreELEC SD card with the reset button pushed down. It would go straight into the Android OS. I got it to boot into CoreELEC by installing the Reboot to LibreELEC app. Now it always restarts in CoreELEC the way it used to when the SD card is left in. I think this is how I got LibreELEC working years ago.
So, now I'm contemplating installing atvXperience but I have a couple of questions:
What would be the best way to install atvXperience without being able to the reset button to put the box into recovery mode?
What would be the best way to prepare for not being able to use the reset button to put the box into recovery mode if something were to go wrong during flashing?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for any help.
Another follow up post for anyone with the same problem. I did some searching and found out I'm not the only one with a box that the reset button doesn't work. A work around for them was to connect the male to male USB cable, load the image into Burning Tool, press Start, and then plug in the power supply. The image file would then start flashing.
However, my box would start booting as soon as I connected the USB cable (didn't need the power supply). So I loaded the image into Burning Tool, pressed Start, and then connected the USB cable. This appears to be the work around for my box (I probably did this when I got my box to recover the first time - holding the reset button was probably irrelevant).
This procedure works for the stock firmware but when I try to flash the atvXperience image file the box hangs at 7%. So I still need some help there.
Also, is there a ATV ROM better suited for my S905W box (2/16 GB)?
W95 is really ****ing box whenever you feel you get off from the current problem will be into next one.
I have installed atvx Rom but afterthat when I tried adian rom my device bricked.
Without Ubt flashing it's connect but as I start flash it's sound unknown device and give flash error
