my wife got our 3 year old a pbs playtime pad 7+ model pbskd7001 the day after we got it I figured I would set it up I connected the wifi to it and as soon as I did it said it had an update that needed to be installed on the tablet so like any device I have had the had updates that needed to be installed I went to install the update on the tablet it downloaded just fine restarted and began installing about half way though installing the update it stopped due to some kind of error so it shut down ever since then it get to the logo screen and shuts down after about 2-3 sec and does that every time I go to turn it on when I try to go in to recovery mode it shows the android guy laying on his back with a open door on his stomach not red triangle nothing and no recovery options are visable just the android guy. I have tried the button combos as told to do for the dead android problem and nothing I cant install device drivers on my computer but it will show up on my computer as a usb developer device. am looking for info as to what I can do at this point to try to bring it back to life so my 3 year old can play some learning games thank you so much in advance.

Yesterday my battery died half way through playing a game (not entirely unexpected, I'd been playing on my phone quite a bit that day and it still lasted 22-23 hours), I connected the charger that came with the phone and left it to charge while I got on with some uni work.
The phone vibrated to tell me the charge was complete so I disconnected the charger and turned the phone on as usual. After the samsung galaxy S2 splash screen, the screen lock appears and when I move it there are several error messages saying that various applications have had to stop (the main one seems to be TwLauncher but when I force close it, many others also force close). This continues for several seconds until the phone decides to restart itself and repeats the process ad infinitum until I can shut down the phone (I can manage this by not trying to get rid of the screen lock and just holding the power button until the menu appears).
I've had this phone a week (one of those days being today where it did not work at all) so it's still well within the return period but I was wondering if there is an obvious fix that I'm missing.
If not, I'll be ringing Samsung on Monday (I have coursework due for friday so I'll be devoting my samsung office hours time to that) and if they can't give me an easy fix I'll be ringing the place I bought it from and asking for an exchange.
So, has anyone else had similar issues and managed a simple fix?
Bump, I take it everyone else's phone is working then?
Giving this another bump in the hopes there's someone with a simple solution.
I don't want to have send my phone off and wait for the place to get stock.
there have been 2 firmware releases from samsung in the last couple of days, i assume you are running the latest firmware?
I can't even get the phone to stay on long enough for Kies to recognise it. It keeps restarting. Even when it was working I couldn't get Kies to work with it properly (I couldn't copy the contacts from the phone to the computer).
It's running the firmware it came with, but I can't check which version it is.
I was going to try flashing the new firmware via ODIN but I've been busy with coursework. Is this likely to solve the issue or will I just be giving the retailers ammo to reject my return?
go into recovery and do a factory reset

this is what I was looking for.
after googling, this sorted it out.
I just assumed download mode was the only other non-normal mode.
Thanks
Basic FAQs on the SGS1 forum mostly apply to SGS2 .Worth a look there before Google .

So this is quite irritating at the moment. Me and my mom both have a Sony Tablet S (SGPT111US/S). Now both mine and my mothers are causing difficulties right now, and both have very different problems. So I'll start off with my moms tablet since it may just need to be waited out for the problem to go away.
Mom's Tablet:
This was just a couple days ago, My mom says her tablet froze at 10:03 (like it really matters what the time it froze at is) on the cradle. She had to press the reset button to turn it off, however the unit will not Turn on or even go to the Android Recovery Menu to preform a factory reset. As of right now it is connected by the plug rather than being on the cradle. I'm hoping that this issue can fix itself since others have had this experience before and got theirs working just by letting it sit a couple days on the charger, however if you have any ideas on getting it working sooner that would greatly be appreciated.
My Tablet:
I honestly don't know what has happened. Until a couple days ago I turned on my tablet and after it boot up problems emerged out of random the second the lock screen appears every single app crashes, not once but continuously. Even the home screen will crash and continuously reload itself, so getting to any app won't be possible and even at that when i do get to an app it's already crashed and i'm back at the home screen. To help make matters worse, the tablet won't remove Apps permanently, i can uninstall them (oddly enough while every app crashes without them even starting the settings doesn't crash.) however if i reboot the tablet everything returns like nothing ever left. I have even went to the Android Recovery Menu to try to factory reset the device, but the factory resets doesn't even reset even though the ARM says it did. So i'm stuck with this crashing loop and a Non-Factory Resetable tablet. I have tried to see if maybe rooting the tablet could help, but not even the Tablet will load itself completely when connected to my Computer so rooting is out of the question as well. Also the Bluetooth and Wifi won't turn off as well.
In the end,
Both Tablets have the current update (4.0.3 RA5) and both are Not Rooted. They are out of warranty so last thing i want to do is call Sony to repair my tablets for a fee. I would also like to note my tablet has been sent in once for repairs because it was stuck looping the boot screen, so my tablet has had trouble in the past, but since then until now i have never had any problems. I will admit, i do sometimes install cracked apps, the app i installed just a day before all this happened was Minecraft 0.7.2.......I have installed it on my EVO and Walkman Z and no problems have occurred and they still have the game.
Please any help for these tablets will be Greatly appreciated. Please Will you help Me?

How's your mum's tablet doing right now? If the issue still persists after what you've tried, I'm thinking maybe just let it run out of battery, charge it back up and see what happens. Also, have you tried using the pccompanion software to redownload and reinstall a fresh firmware back onto your tab? It's a more 'thorough' reset method as opposed to a factory reset through the tab settings.
Yup, another NEWB having trouble looking for help. Have a rooted ATRIX 4g, (ADB/Fastroot method), but am away from home, so do not have access to the PC with drivers, ADB, etc. on it. I am running stock ROM, took the last OTA update and retained Root using Rootkeeper. I did not unlock the bootloader. Today phone started soft-boot like symptoms after I downloaded an app (Mayo Clinic PAtient App) partially installed it - app installed, but was waiting on info to login, when phone locked and I pulled battery. At this point, phone will not boot. It goes through Motorola Dual Core to Rethink possible, but then times out and reboots before loading OS. I have downloaded Motorola Drivers, I can bring up RSD, I can get to Fastboot menus. Any and all help appreciated!
Tried Fastboot Andriod Recovery, got white Triangle with yellow exclamation point. Somebody please tell me I wont have to do a factory reset. :crying: At least I have my usb battery charger with me, charging up a battery just in case.
Worst timing ever - all the relatives have my cell phone number for updates on my Wife, we are at Mayo Rochester all week.
Another odd thing - can't get the phone into safe mode.
Damn I am stubborn. After repeated efforts - and we're talking about 90 minutes here, I found by holding down the up/down vol buttons at the same time and holding them all the way through the painfully slow Rethink possible, past the long vibrate, all the way to home screen, I could get into safe mode. First time the phone still rebooted. Second time could not get past lock screens, third time I got in and uninstalled last couple programs I installed and the phone boots normally again. Hope this helps others.
HELP!
1st gen Nexus 7. Came home today and found it in the google 4 color boot loop swishing the balls around and around. I don't remember rebooting it or installing any updates, so I just let it run.
20 minutes later- still there.
I powered it off, press the down+power, get to the restore- only to get 'system command not recognized' (unfortunately I didn't write it down, but it showed a flat android with a red ! over the open chest).
Kids started screaming about some trauma... came back... tablet was black. Tried rebooting- nogo. Tried powering up/down- nogo. Hold power for 2 minutes, all buttons, no buttons, down, up, etc- nothing.
Plugged it into the PC- get a 'APX mode', but still no screen and no power charging logo.
I've had the damn thing for not even 3 weeks. Can't even tell you what the last update was but it wasn't lollipop as I hadn't seen that yet when my nexus 4 got updated 2 weeks ago.
No, I didn't do wheelie or any backups because I hadn't made any changes to the system. I've got nothing.
32gb model. Don't know what else I can get off of this brick.
Yes, I've read all the threads I can find on APX mode- installed android toolkit, tried to find the dropbox files to get the windows restore- nogo.
I'll take any suggestions or ideas. And no, I really wasn't f-ing around with it either- it's for the 6 year old kid who needs work on sight words and math... I don't need to be running crazy stuff on it... (Feel free to move to appropriate forum as I only saw Nexus 7 2013)
Anyone? Bueller ?
Did I post in the wrong forum? Or am I really just SOL?
Hello friends I have already more than 3 months with the phone so brick paperweight, I led him to more technical 7 where live in santa barbara de barinas-Venezuela, also went to the neighbouring cities and nothing in any side give me solution most say is the screen I really very much doubt it because that made long before that big donkey to install the twrp when already had the CWM as recovery. I have read forums and forums and I'm trying to do it through gives you the ADB, I want to fix my phone because it buy a new one in my country currently with our monetary situation is buy a new cell phone and hold 1 year of hunger... to be able to buy it. do I hope that if some expert in android 4.4 software. 4kitkat read this I throw hand, and friends else this case is cataloged as a SoftBrick, HardBrick or a BootLoop? Thanks again and Merry Christmas to all. Here below I explain what happened. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Grand prime duos SM-G530H with android 4.4.4 as two weeks ago, as you can see this practically new what happened was the following rootee the terminal as it had already done in my terminal most everything went well. then download the TWRP MANAGER application from the store play gave him super user permissions and locate a TWRP recovery for the grand prime not found for model SM-G530H. There was when I made the stupid more large I have echo I found recovery for other models of samsung and download the recovery for the Grand duos the download and cell phone install it from the same application I turn off and turned on the screen but this look with blue screen with black and vibrates and turns off and again it does the same thing again and again you can see and not start. promise them is that not come to think that my cell phone was going to stay dead, the issue is to remove the battery if so have worked and the same. attempt to start mode recovery and not or it worked I was the same lit blue screen with black and vibrated and turned off. so I spent in download mode, lit in blue with black screen and turned off. Friends I am desperate because I tried everything and not me because I've taken the battery more thousand times, pc does not recognize me the device that simply does not fit into download mode. not load by gets blue screen with black. try a USB jig you buy from eBay and not worked a and also one of the technical goals that the to revised happened a jtag I think q is called so is seemed to a usb jing but saw that the changed him as voltages but none worked and told men that this fried. So no longer will be if they had some experience regarding my case would appreciate... translated by google

Can you solve it? I am exactly with the same problem: /
I installed TWRP and my GRAND PRIME does not turn on. It does not go into fast boot mode. Only a blue and vibrating light is blinking.
