Hey guys. i just bought the tablet for 1 month now. Everything was okay then suddenly the tablet rebooted it self and will go the homescreen for few seconds then rebooted it self again and again. i tried to reset it via the asus fastboot option menu. that did the trick for a while..i can boot it normally then after reinstalling all my apps, it started to keep rebooting again. resetting it again does not work. all it does is go to the setup wizard and reboot again.
Another interesting fact is that it can boot for a while only when plugged in. i can use it but will shut down if i pulled the charge cable.
The way i see it, i can be the battery problem or software problem.
If it is a problem with the battery, then why can it boot to the fastboot option menu without plugged in?
I've downloaded the factory image from the asus website but i dont know how to flash it as the bootloader is locked and i cant find any method to unlock it. Adb detected the device in fastboot. but i cant flash the firmware,
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thank you in advance.
attached is the content of the firmware ive downloaded from asus website and the asus fastboot option menu..there is no recovery option.

First off id like to say thanks in advance to any replies and also apologize if this has been posted previously (i searched and could not find anything that was helpful) I lurked around these forums when i had my x1 and im hoping you guys can be as helpful for me as you are for everyone else. anyway onto the issue
I used the superboot method to root my ATT US Streak. My intentions were to update to 2.1 following the steps in the "eclair working on my u.s. unlocked streak!" thread (wont let me put a link since its my first post)
after using fastboot to root the phone will boot up and function fine but recovery and fastboot no longer work. i tried flashing Koush's custom recovery and other things that require fastboot and the terminal just says "sending..." nothing happens no errors or anything, the cmd prompt just sits there and i need to remove the battery to reboot the device.
i then downloaded the Rom Manager apk from the market and flashed the clockwork recovery from there (it said i did anyway). when i load the recovery from boot (volume keys + power and its the stock recovery) and chose option 2 to flash modaco custom rom or even the stock dell rom it just goes to a black screen and i once again need to remove the battery to reboot.
the phone itself is still functioning fine when it boots up and everything works the way it should other than the home, menu, and back button lights flash in random orders, thats just annoying though. again any help is appreciated
so what should i try next?
EDIT: woke up this morning and now the device will not turn on. i tried starting to fastboot and recovery but still nothing. plug it into my pc and i get the "found new hardware wizard" for a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM.
first real brick? ha that would be my luck
EDIT 2: a kid just ran through my work, grabbed my phone and threw it on the ground. it screwed up the 30 pin connector on the phone and the charger. im going to hurt somebody. phone is booting again though... put sd card back in and still boots fine
SOLVED: Dont know the technical reasons behind it but i had to reinstall the drivers and switch usb ports for every fastboot and recovery procedure
removed SD card and its booting up normally. any thoughts?
Hey guys,
So really in need of a little help. My OnePlus X started acting strange when it refused to take charge when it was booted into OS (Lineage). However, I noticed that if the phone was off, it would boot immediately upon connecting a cable. So it seemed as if nothing was wrong with the port or the cable (tried various cables and chargers). A little more digging revealed that the phone charges in Fastboot mode. Anyway, I decided to factory reset it and for some reason it was stuck in a boot loop.
I then tried to restore back to stock using Mega Unbrick Guide which worked in the past. Now my problem is that its stuck in fastboot, wont boot into the OS. I can boot to the recovery and fastboot. In recovery when I choose Install from local, i get no browser to search the SD for zip files, nor does the phone detect for me to use adb sideload.
Any ideas as to why this is so?
Thanks!
I just tried installing new Firmware on my Tablet and i can't boot into Recovery Mode or Fastboot Mode, when i do so the Tablet just restarts, if i leave it alone about 20 minutes the Vonino logo pops up but nothing happens after that, the tablet just restarts. The tablet always needs to be connected to a wall charger for some weird reason, i cannot connect it to my Laptop because the tablet won't boot. I do have these files that i created before installing the Firmware because i knew it wasn't going to go well: userdata_20180204_231637.backup, voninobackup.ab, LinuxKernel, StockRecovery. I also have a folder where the whole entire data from the Tablet is backed up, i also have the old Firmware backed up but i can't restore it. If anyone knows how to fix this i will do a video on how to fix it on my YouTube Channel since i'm not the only one with this problem.

Any news here ? Did you manage to fix the tablet?
Hey there,
I was actually searching a lot about my problem but I can't find a solution anywhere so I wanted to ask you people.
Here is the story;
I tried to install twrp using a 3rd party Google play app it downloaded and said installed the twrp and asked whether I want to reboot the phone or not. Then phone got stuck in bootloop. Looks similar to the other ones but believe me it is not.
Here is why;
- Phone keeps restarting I can't even charge the phone because of that the battery just gets drained so I can't connect it to the pc
- Can't enter recovery or the fast boot mode I tried all key combinations only volume up+power works for me and it shows 3 selections. Recovery mode,fast boot mode,normal boot mode. When I select recovery mode it shows HTC logo and just keeps bootlooping. When I select fast boot mode it just says fast boot mode initiating and gets stuck there ( waited 5 hours ) when I select normal boot it already doesn't boot.
- I can't charge the phone to flash on pc since I have to have at least %35. Whenever I connect charger it starts bootlooping and never stops. Like literally I tried 24 hours and it never stopped.
- I am using Android 4.2.
Does anyone have any idea on fixing this ? This is my work phone and I can't get it to work. This is really very frustrating.
Can anyone help me get to the recovery mode ? Is my phone bricked ? If so is there any way to recover the phone or the data inside of it ? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
So... any ideas ?

It is very interesting how this community has no answer to this question .
Hello. I have tried to install a custom recovery (TWRP) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0" (SM-T290) today, however, it has not exactly gone to plan. I will run over exactly what I did, and what troubleshooting steps I have taken so far.
I downloaded this version of ODIN: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/
I unlocked the bootloader through the bootloader menu and enabled USB debugging after the tablet had turned on.
I downloaded and used the latest .md5.tar TWRP file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-2-for-2019-galaxy-tab-a-8-0-sm-t290.4185235/
ODIN Successfully flashed TWRP and the device rebooted. I attempted to get straight into the recovery by holding volume up, however, the screen remained black.
The tablet now cannot boot into recovery, download mode, etc, and only the backlight of the screen turns on. The tablet does eventually "boot up" and give the little vibration, at which point my computer recognises it, but I cannot see any files on the tablet. I can also see the tablet with ADB using the command "adb devices", however it tells me the tablet is "unauthorized", meaning I cannot use any ADB commands to attempt to reboot into recovery, download mode, etc.
I have tried disconnecting the battery and just powering on with the cable to no avail. I am assuming the device is fully bricked at this point, however, I would be appreciative if any possible solutions could be suggested, and if where I went wrong can be pointed out so I do not make the same mistake in the future.
Thanks in advance.
It's always risky to apply mods.
To get rid off of all mods you applied re-flash tablet's Stock ROM.
If this doesn't work for you then take it to authorized service center and let them try to fix it.

They never fix anything. The only thing they do is charge you an absurd price and replace the motherboard or the entire tablet.
I'm on the same boat. Tablet can't get into download mode, just shows "This device has unauthorized software on it and is locked". Tried all possible button combinations to no avail.
