Nextbook 8 Ares Bricked? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks
I'll start out and say that I'm a noob at this stuff.
My wife handed me down her Nextbook Ares 8 (nxa8qc116) Android 5.0 she said she wiped it. I think she did more than that. It only gets to the logo screen and no further.
I can get to the bootloader and twrp (2.8.6.0).
It seems it's missing data folder as I get a message when I attempt to do anything. I did a factory reset which didn't fly at all a whole load of error messages.
I only have a Win 7 machine and have no clue as to how to root it or install a working rom. Nextbooks website is pretty much worthless no downloads for it other than docs. The other downloads are for newer tablets..
I've been beating myself up all day trying to figure this thing out but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated!

I was given a next book Ares 8, model # nxa8qc116r, and have the same problem. When connected to a PC the driver can't install because ' the device has a malfunction ' so the tablet isn't recognized. Therefore I can't even attempt to install new os or anything else. Someone please help.

[Solved] CyberNav 7" Chinese tablet- boot loop, doesn't boot- logcat

Hello, after playing with a tablet I got boot loop so below is solution for this.
This is what I wrote first:
I purchased Chinese tablet called CyberNav, there is link to the website with specs http://www.dracotek.com/cybernav-7-...ps-navigator-ultra-slim-wifi-8gb-gps70yw.html It works great and is worth the money. I received- on request- firmware for it, but it is with .img extension and I have no idea how to get to the files. Attached application PhoenixCard should install it on sd card but it does nothing. So there is my question- can anyone help me with it? Possibly root it? Or update to newer firmware version? I'll post a link to, just need to upload it to my dropbox on my next break at work.
Sek
im pretty sure you need a 3rd party application to flash that firmware, i think you load the .img file into the software on your pc, connect tablet in flash/recovery mode then flash it that way, dont know which software you would need to use though , sorry i cant help further
There is link to rar package http://db.tt/jm7eHfbq
If there is someone who wants to spend some time... Please help.
Bump
Some new infos:
As far I found out tablet is detectable during boot in adb, but it stays in boot loop. I think I've got right usb drivers.
I tried unyaffs the .img file using C:/unyaffs/unyaffs pw08.img but it shows file corrupted (might be wrong method?).
Logcat attached.
Maybe there is someone who will find what it's missing...
I see there is nobody who can help me, so... If some of u have similar problem with chinese tablet- bootloop, can't flash it with LiveSuit our update from sdcard, I found solution which worked for me. Using adb, pulled catalog /dev/data/ to hard disk, then deleted all dalvik cache, installed by me apps and almost every other file from /data on my hard disk. Then typed adb remount, then adb shell rm -r /dev/data/* to delete all data catalog on tablet. Then pushed /data catalog from my hard disk to tablet, and finally adb reboot. And it WORKS! Booting without problems. I wasted 4 days on research how to turn it in flash mode etc. But it was very simple.
Cheers

Hi, sek111
It was necessary to use the LiveSuite to flash through usb.
Thank you very much, from your post, I found the firmware for my tablet.
An experience with another low cost tablet with Bootloop
I happen to got my tab (Wammy from WickedLeak.org) stuck in BootLoop and was struggling to get a way out for the past 3 days, checking almost all of the posts for this issue!
The tab would stuck on the android loading animation despite running for 2-3 hours and after several hard reboots, it throw-ed following error-
Encryption Unsuccessful
encrytion was interupted and cant complete. as a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible
to resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. when you set up your tab after the reset, u'll hav an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to ur google account

Despite going for the factory reset, it still didn't workout as the reset activity never completed or proceeded. I happen to be a beginner/noob and was trying my luck with possible solution but was comfortable with ADB stuff and workaround. Well i checked the solution which sek111 offered in this post and it was most closely helped me out. So i would like to Thank him a ton for sharing his solution.
Another method for few others if you don't get through the technical stuff and handling all the flashing tools, i was successful in bringing up the setting window of my tab and chose to do Reset via GUI which worked. Actually my battery got drained out to 7% and a popup message for same displayed while i was on the above error page. I selected the "check battery" option from that pop up and got my way out via factory "Backup and Reset" option under settings.
I hope this might help few people if not all! But the XDA forum is great and everyone will find a solution here. Cheers!!!
So I got this wm8850 chinese generic tablet. The camera is in the front in the middle (wide). It was shipped to me with 4.0.3 in boot loop. I soon found out that it boots into safe mode when I usb to pc. This is the furthest I've gotten with it so far. I can adb into it and have already tried to wipe data. It seems like since its from factory screwed up that a may need to reload the firmware or the os or something. Im kind of a noob because I only have my droid x. I've gotten it out of a boot loop before but I also knew what I had done to cause it so I fixed it. I tried to follow seks adb commands but im too noob to do it I guess. I was able to wipe data and dalvik-cache. Issue still occurs . If anybody can give me some adb commands than can help I would greatly appreciate it. Im fairly sure that I found the firmware elsewhere on xda. I thank you guys for any help at all you can give. I don't wanna send it back without trying everything software related as I can, but ill send it back if I can't fix it or if I brick it
Sent from my DROIDX using xda app-developers app
i have same problem in my china mobile.. dupad k1 ... after in installed new boot screen, device stuck in boot... please help to recover my device in step by step....

[Q] Boot Loop

Ok so I've tried looking through these forums for several months in an attempt to find something that will get my kindle fire HD 7" out of it's boot loop that I put it in while trying to root. Turns out I skipped a step.. Anyways, so far I cant even get it to show up as a drive on my computer. It will show up in the device manager and I bought the factory fastboot cable so it will go to fastboot. However, I've tried using system restore programs such as kindle fire first aide and the SR tool. KFFA has been the most productive in the sense it will attempt to restore my kindle back to factory but fails to download the required files from drop box. It moves past all that saying no error and tells me to reboot my kindle, which then returns to looping at the Kindle icon. I'm seriously stumped here as no help program I've seen has been able to do anything so far. Amazon said the warranty ended a year ago and to buy a new one. Any help would be much appreciated and if you don't mind reply like I'm computer illiterate because this was my first attempt at rooting anything.
Thanks!

We were anyway you are in the wrong forum .

[Q] Losing my damned mind, kindle fire 1st gen.

I cannot find a ROM that works with google services for the f*cking life of me. OK! Sooo, rooting was painless. Intalling firefirefirefirefire was a pain in the ass cause I didn't have the "original cable" or whatever, got TWRP installed in the same way. By downloading and imputing a bunch of commands into command promt windows 8.1. Got the drivers working all that jazz. Everything seems ok, in that respect. I'm running TWRP version 2.2.2.1 which is a bit out dated I realize, I always seem to get compabatability errors or something... Sometimes the keyboard doesn't work, sometimes google play services dont work. I'm very close to twisting my tablet into a painful million pieces.
Does anyone know of any roms with google services compatible software for team win recovery project 2.2.2.1 that would work today, or that would update itself or something?!?! I've tried a hundred diferent trial and error shots and I'm ripping my damn hair out. I dont need anything fancy, I just need it to work. Please, please help.

Android Tablet Stuck Rebooting, Can't Enter Recovery Mode

Greetings xda!
I came across the forum after searching the internet trying to fix my problem. I appreciate the advice in advance!
I have a Gigaset QV830 android tablet. I have had it about a year. or so A few days ago it started unexpectedly crashing/rebooting while browsing facebook and using firefox. It would start right back up until today when it finally got stuck rebooting at the Gigaset start screen. I let it sit for a few hours and nothing happened.
I was able to boot into Recovery mode, and I attempted to wipe the cache partition in hopes that I could reboot the tablet, save my data, and then hard reset. Unfortunately since I did this, I have been stuck in the android bot loading screen for hours now. Since I am a new user I can't post a link to the picture but it is the android bot with his front compartment open and a blue spherical structure spinning and a loading bar moving above it.
Now I cannot enter recovery mode to do a factory reset and my computer won't recognize my tablet. I am stuck and frustrated and am not sure what to do next. I plan on leaving my tablet plugged in over night with the hopes that the android bot loading screen will work itself out but I doubt that will happen.
I didn't do anything to modify my tablet in any way (all factory OS, just installed apps etc).
Any ideas on possible next steps? Disclaimer: I don't know much about android development but am open to learning/trying anything to fix this.
Thanks a lot for your help. :good:
I have tried a few things with no luck. Here is a bit of an update:
I installed Smart Phone Flash Tool, and the necessary drivers. I found two separate copies of my QV830 files to flash the system. I cannot flash my android with either of the system.img files. It gets stuck between 13-15% with the error message: ERROR: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (0xFA8). Everything else will flash just fine with no errors (the boot file, logo, recovery etc).
I played around with a few other things. I found that if I tried to format or choose the firmware upgrade option, while they don't run successfully, they do seem to stop the android bot looping screen. After using these options, the tablet is unable to start whatsoever but after downloading the files to the tablet through the Smart Phone Flash Tool (again, all but system.img), I am able to start the tablet up and instead of getting stuck at the android bot screen, I get stuck at the Gigaset screen.
The good news is that I am able to enter system recovery now. The new problem is that when I try to wipe data/factory reset, the tablet gets stuck on the android bot screen and gets stuck saying --Wiping data..., Formatting /data... This once again when I reboot, gets me stuck at the android bot screen with the loading bar.
AHHH!! Ideas? Appreciate it!
EDIT: I also do have another, one of the Gigaset QV830 tablets that is working if that could be of any help to me.
Ok so I know its kind of late, and I'm new here, but I was having the same problem with the same tablet, and I wanted to know if I could follow the same steps that you did to revive your tablet. So could you please give me the QV830 file links so I could figure out how to use the flash tool to bring my tablet back to life? Thanks in advance.?
I did an oof!!!
I made an attempt to flash a ROM on my Quanta Gigaset QV830 tablet. It was the SDK and Fastboot ROM from Magisk Manager. That stupid decision may have soft-bricked my device, thus making it inoperable, yet repairable. I do not have a computer that will be of any help at the moment, as the only laptop I have is an Asus Chromebook C202SA under jurisdiction of a school district using Enterprise Origin, unless, of course, the repair simply involves downloading and unzipping a few files to an SD card.
My Quanta Gigaset QV830 tablet will not be read by a computer via USB, it will not boot into Recovery Mode, or Fastboot Mode, and it will not leave it's state of being in a constant bootloop. Please help me, as I have run out of ideas, and I cannot afford to get it fixed.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Hi! I need some advice.

Okay, so I apologize in advance if this cannot be posted here. My reason for doing so, is because I need some help with a Zenwatch 2 by Asus and the thread pertaining to this device seems to be a ghosttown. So if you need, please move this where it should go, but not without offering a word of advice or two first
So obviously I have a zenwatch 2, and I was tinkering with it earlier, and somehow got it stuck in CVC fastboot or something like that. I was able to get TWRP on it (Thank god, im much more optomistic now) but I am still having trouble getting an OS back on it. At first I wasnt even able to read the internal storage from my computer, or even begin to sideload anything, but I went into the TWRP settings and repaired the partitions to EXT4 or something of that sort. Now I am able to sideload, as well as access the storage from my PC, but I have had no success in flashing a working OS.
Im usually pretty familiar with android, rooting and unlocking, but these watches seem to be a bit different.
If anyone has anything that would help, please feel free!
The exact model of watch I have is WREN W1502Q .... I think.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I got it to boot!! Now I am stuck with a hang on that screen with all the swirly dots (the four separate animations that is right before boot)
So we're making progress, but I dont know if it is just gonna take a long time to boot, or if it is hanging! Hopefully we can get over this last hump. Thanks!
UPDATE 2:
Back up and running!
Praise the Lord!
