[Q] Broken tablet in recovery. Cannot connect USB from windows - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Acer Iconia B1-A71. Stops during boot at Iconia icon. Factory reset didn't help. I can get to recovery menu. No options help. Need to get a new img to the tablet but windows will not see it in recovery mode (even though I have the correct USB drivers from Acer)? "Unknown USB" message when I connect or something.
I think I have the necessary files downloaded on my computer to fix this from scratch, I just cannot talk to the tablet????
I do have an old laptop with Linux on it which I can maybe try tonight? Any help or advice would be so much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Windows won't recognize Gtablet in APX mode - no prompt to install drivers

Noob here,
My viewsonic Gtablet has been softbricked and I've been attempting to get it into a functional status for the last couple of weeks.
I have tried -
1) installing the factory reset roms onto the microsd card and booting gtablet in recover mode. This lead to an indefinite "booting recovery kernal image".
2) installing clockword mod in hopes of fixing the bootloader. This led to the same result
I'm now attempting to nvflash the device. I have all folders installed and the entire setup is ready to commence HOWEVER; when I boot the gtablet in APX mode and connect it to my windows pc, there is no prompt indicating a new device. After checking device manager I cannot find the device there either. I have the drivers in a folder and ready to install, but I don't know how when I'm given no indication that the computer even recognizes the gtablets existence.
Any ideas?
Which windows os? 98?
my apologies, I forgot to mention.
I have tried to nvflash on both windows 7 and ubuntu linux but neither OS picked up or detected the presence of the gtablet at all
Have you checked if your usb chord is working? I know, sounds silly. But this happened to me a number of years ago. Really thought it was the computer or my camera. Until I tried another usb chord and voila!
Oh God, wouldn't you know that fixed it instantly. Here I tried everything in the world and it was the USB cable all along. Thanks a bundle man!

[Q] I can't power off my TF-201. It reboots always in recovery(clockworkmod).)

Hello to everyone.
I have to say sorry for my English(I'm Spanish). So, I have a big problem. I have a transformer prime(TF-201), with CyanogenMod 9 and in the last update, I go to the recovery by pressing the power off button an selecting the reboot in recovery mode.
So, I install the 09052012 update and then the GAPPS and then wipe and all fine.... but, when I press the reboot option, the transformer reboots all the time in the recovery... And I've tried with all options and nothing. The recovery don't have any power down button or something like that, so I NEED HELP guys!!!!
I have using CyanogenMod since the CyanogenMod 7 for my galaxy sII... But with this I don't know how to do.
And now, when I try to install a .zip with the recovery, It says that It can't mount /sdcard/
Thanks!!

There is a file in the developement section you can flash if you can push it to the tab. Search for recovery bootloop in that thread.
Thanks, I'm going to try with this... I will tell you if it works.
Hello If I connect the tablet to my PC, my PC can't recognize the tablet

Think you need to use the naked drivers..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
Thanks. When I go home, I will try to do that. So I only have to install these drivers in my PC, and then connect the tablet and use de recovery bootloop no??
Hello...
I've tried to install this drivers, and I think that I did It right, but the PC don't recognize the tablet.
I delete all the old drivers from PC, then I connet the tablet, windows update searched for drivers, but It doesn't faund them. Then I went to the hardware administrator(or wherever you named it) and found "Transformer", I update the drivers with the naked driver's folder, and It looks like It's all right, but the PC doesn't recognize the tablet by now...
What I did wrong??
Thanks for all of your patience...
Sounds like you're in better shape than I am. Device manager doesn't even detect my tf201. :\
As long as devmgr is showing "Transformer", right click--->Properties -->Update drivers, then browse to the folder where the naked drivers are located.
Hope that helps.
Well, that is what I did, but with drivers installed, the PC do not recognize the TF...
I'm going to try usin linux...
I need help!!!
I got the same problem! I bought an asus prime off ebay, and I tried to restore it to factory settings. Now I'm stuck in recovery mode "ClockworkMod v5.8.1.8" I can see my Tablet as "Transformer" in Device Manager, but when I right click on it to install the driver from "Universal_Naked_Driver_Beta_0.6.2" I always get this error: Asus Transformer Prime ADB Interface: The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering. I need help with this! I've been trying everything I could for the past few days, and nothing seems to work! Thank in advance

So I don't know how to do now...

Bricked Tablet

I really Need Help! My computer wont recognize my tablet in fastboot mode, and my tablet wont read my micro SD card, also when i turn it on normally it stays at splash screen and when its plugged in to the computer the computer starts installing the drivers and it fails to install each time. I go to troubleshooting options and it states code 10. which states device cannot start.
I Have looked for ways around this, like manually installing the drivers, and my computer wont let me. Also the tablet can go to both: bootloader, and Clockworkmod recovery.
I factory reset my tablet so I cannot install anything, untill i get it to connect to my computer.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my computer!
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Did you install the naked driver from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502 if not do that first once you get that working... then you should be able to fastboot to the pc... next thing I would concider is going to twrp recovery instead of cwm....either go for an older version or go the full gambit of nvflash then install the latest twrp... after that you should be set.....I can comment more on it if you need it....

What do you see in device manager with the tablet plugged into the pc and running in fastboot?
Maybe this helps
I had a similar issue but my tablet couldn't be identified by windows, at first i thought it was my drivers so i tried to install new ones but windows wouldn't let me stating the same code 10. At the end it was a defective usb cable, i bought a new one and everything worked all right the first time i plugged it in. And by the way i was stucked at the CWM loop. Hope this helps and sorry for my bad english.

Im not sure if it is a bad usb cable, i think it is my computer because my computer doesnt even recognize my iphone and i have itunes installed,
i think it is partially due to a funky computer for me.

HELP Bricked Tablet Ematic EXP8

Hi, I first want to say I am very thankful that you're reading this.
My problem is tablet ematic exp8 just suddenly got bricked .
When I hold power off + volume up or down button, the tablet turns on and doesnt offer me options and only goes to android logo again.
So I have downloaded ematic exp8 image file and usb drivers from their website. I followed some advice and tried to install those drivers but windows said that current version is up to date.
I tried to put image files on SD card but it didnt work.
I tried with LiveSuit but it didnt recognize my tablet.Althought he recognized IMG file.
I feel like usb driver might be the problem since USB debugging is turned off and in device manager Alcatel Andorid ADB interface is listed as driver.
If you have any suggestions please say so.

i update my tablet with a liquid rom using default android recoverymode. the installation was succesful but when i reboot my tablet, logo appears as usual and get stack in blackscreen. i could still enter android recovery mode but it only reads internal storage so i cant update anymore, usb debugging was not turned on. how could i get it back to life/unbrick my tablet. (it is not rooted anyway.)
so i tried livesuit v1.09 and connect my tablet while in recovery mode, (the computer detects it as softwiner761) still livesuit doesnt start even if i already selected an img file. system upgrade says "no available device". then i just nomally boot my tab and the computer detects it as an unspecified android, still livesuit doesnt start any progress. turned off tablet doesnt do anything so what should i do?
from wintouch site ive downloaded the the img and downloaded the latest livesuit.
fastboot devices doesnt work too. i have no more idea how could i unbrick this tablet. please help me how could i repair this.:crying:
please help me :crying: :crying: :crying:
