Hello,
I want to ask for your help.
I have an old 10 inch tablet that I use as an ebook.
However, for a few days, the tablet cannot boot and only the Android logo appears and can only be turned off with the reset button.
I tried to enter recovery mode to get back to factory settings, but failed. I probably don't press the right combination of buttons.
I will ask for your help, guide me on how to do this to save a tablet that is incredibly convenient for me.
The tablet is model RK30SDK and is running Android 4.1.1
Thanks in advance to everyone who responded!
If you have a device that appears frozen and won’t power on at all, then probably your device’s battery is ( almost ) dead. Use device's Reset Pinhole to power cycle it. If that doesn’t help, it’s possible that your hardware is dead and the device needs to be serviced or replaced.

So a buddy of mine bought one of the Viewsonic G-Tablets, and attempted to root(if this is the right term), and I think he may have bricked it. After reading many threads here, and watching some videos, I'm quite confident now that we could get it back to working order, but after hours upon hours of attempts, I cannot seem to solve the issue.
Model: UPC300-2.2
OS Ver: 2.2
Tap UI Version:
1.0-2638
Kernel 2.6.32.9-00000-10.8.2-dirty
Build: FRF91
As of right now, the damn thing will not turn on outside of recovery mode. If you try and power it on, the screen never powers up.
If I power up in recovery, I also don't get a power up screen, until I run NVFlash. After running NVFlash, it will create partitions and boot up into the OS. Every functions at that point, but if I turn it off, and turn it back on, it repeats its previous offense; no screen power.
When I turn it on though, although no power, it does make a bing on my PC, to indicate USB is getting feed, but it does not try and mount the device.
I am not positive what he has done to get it into this mode, or what I can do to get it out of this mode. I've tried a handful walkthroughs and troubleshooting threads but they have not resolved this problem. Is this common? What are my steps to try and resolve it? He's coming up to the end of his RMA time, and he will soon try and see if he can RMA it, so I don't have a lot of time to futz with it, so I'm reaching out for help.
If there is any other information you need, please request, I just posted the basic info I found on the About tablet page
Thanks!
Can anyone confirm if this is an actual boot loop? What would make it so I have to nvflash each time to load this tablet; is it fixable, or is there an issue somewhere else with the device, that may just mean its bricked.
when you try to boot into recovery are you holding the volume up button and the power button at the same time untill it boot into recovery if it does boot then you need to wipe user data and wipe cash if not try to load clockwork mod do a search in the main viewsonic fourm to learn how to do this I hope this is some help Good Luck

Hello everyone,
First of all, let me tell you that I am very good at android rom flashing and stuff and know these things. Now, here is my problem.
1. I have Aoson M19 tablet, which fell and the lcd screen stopped working.. The touch still work as I can see the output on HDMI by connecting it to an external screen. It lied in its box for sometime before I took it out again...
2. It had a pattern lock, which I unfortunately forgot, so after trying many times, it is stuck asking for my email/password immediately after boot (however the wifi is disabled at start so it never goes anywhere)
3. The tablet does not have a volume button, It has a button for Power, Escape, Home and Menu. I tried all combinations possible (as much as I could) to try and boot it so that it is recognized as an Rockchip 2918 device on my pc connected to it, but it does not work at all..
4. I tried using adb but it never shows it as a device when connected..
So I would like to ask the gurus as xda on how can I get my tablet back by either installing a new ROM (if I can get it to be recognized as rockchip device I can install drivers for it), or some other way to bypass the pattern lock somehow. Maybe some sdcard boot trick which I am unaware of till now..
(Note: this is indeed my device, not trying to hack into someone elses). Any help appreciated...
Maybe this will help: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f90...pattern-problem-paswword-without-adb-1717216/
It was mentioned on the last page that Rockchip devices without Volume keys must connect the usb cable to PC and the port on tablet and press the reset button in the hole and the tab will be booted into the correct mode.

My understanding is that the method for flashing Rockchip tablets is essentially the same across the board. So maybe try this guide for some general direction: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/flashing-arnova-g2-rockchip-2918-rockchip-flashing-tool/
I don't know if this will work for your particular Rockchip tablet, but I also found this: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f90...re-tool-how-use-guide-share-sonualok-1786042/
Please keep in mind that I do not have said tablet and am only going off of info I have found on the various forums that people reported success with. Also, be sure you do have the RK2918 version as there is a dual core RK3066 model with the same name floating around that I had noticed. The link provided is for a 2918 version. Good luck!
es0tericcha0s, you are a star, let me try and i will be back with the results.. I hope something will surely work..
Ok tried the reset button trick also, pressing it and holding before connecting the usb, and pressing after connecting usb, also tried the same with power button, but it always boots in android. And as usual the device keeps appearing as 'MID' in devie manager...
still stuck
Quick update
Ok quick update, I finally found the way to get it recognized differently (good or bad)
For Aoson M19, Hold the 'Home' key on tablet and then connect the usb cable to PC. However, it still refuses to install the drivers for the device..
See attached picture, still working on it...
Hi guys, I was trying to flash a custom ROM for the first time onto my ASUS ME301T, as I was fairly sure ASUS was not going to update these devices anymore.
Anyway, now the device will not start. It will power on, and the first of the two ASUS start-up screens will appear (the non animated/static one). In the top corner, it reads "The Device is Unlocked" as was required when attempting to flash the 4.4.4 ROM. Beyond this, nothing happens. If I attempt to power down the device it simply reboots itself shortly after. The only way to turn it off is to insert a paperclip into the physical reset hole, or to let the device run out of battery.
Now before you tell me to go into recovery by holding power and volume down... I've tried that hundreds of times.. As well as power+vol up, although I don't know what that does. I cannot access recovery mode, as far as I know anyway. Further, the device is not detected by either of my computers (desktop or laptop, windows and mac) so I can't attempt to flash it through USB (unless there is a way to do this?).
The device does not heat up, the screen simply stays on the ASUS static logo. It doesn't power off unless I hold the button, and it quickly restarts. To provide context as to what I did to cause this issue.. It was working fine on its factory ROM, no issues, and I attempted to do another system reset to fix an issue I was having with TWRP. However, I accidentally selected the middle open, not RCK, not reset, but something like "boot into Linux" or something, I can't exactly remember. Anyway, like an idiot I freaked and powered off the device.. My guess is that this is was caused the issue?
Anyway, making this post here as this is my first time looking into/attempting to flash a device. Would appreciate some expert help before I use my tablet to prop up the books on my bookcase
Help me try to unbrick my tablet! (I'm not too hopeful though..)
Cheers
Hi all, I have an issue with this model of Ainol tablet, Ainol Numy 3G AX10t.
It seems to be quite a rare model, since I'm fiding very difficult getting information about this.
Hopefully you will be able to point me the right direction, I have few experience with ROMs and all this stuff, but the lack of information of this tablet is driving me crazy. If this is not the correct subforum please excuse me and of course move the thread if necessary.
Let me explain myself, I've been using for few months this tablet with no problems, and I just noticed few months ago some problems with the battery, maybe with the calibration, the typical change in the values and all of that.
Now, my problem is that during the boot, the tablet shuts off. No matter if I try to hard reset with the POwer button or use a reset button that the tablet has.
Only thing I can do is press Power+ Volum Up and I get to a typical black screen with white letters:
Select Boot Mode:
[Volume_Up to select. VOlume_Down is OK.]
Recovery MOde
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
No matter what I choose, the tablet always goes black after pressing Volume Down.
Maybe I'm facing a hardware problem, but I would like to fatory reset the table and maybe install another rom, just in case the battery file is corrupted and that's the problem.
But I don't know how to access the recovery (or if it's even installed). Do you know if I can do something with the microSD and this Boot Mode selection? And do you know any forum or webpage where this tablet is discussed? I cannot even locate the stock ROM.
Thank you so much, I'd very grateful if you help me fixing my tablet, it's still quite new... And in the Boot Mode selection, the tablet doesn't turns off, so hopefully this is a software problem...
Regards
