Help! Plz. Flyer Bricked?

jmarsh0507 · Apr 18, 2014

I have a flyer, was rooted, s on, stock rom. It was working fine, needed charging, it won't charge off a wall charger or when connected to the PC. The led flashes amber for about 5 seconds, then the hboot menu comes on for maybe 2 seconds and then goes off, it's stuck in this loop. It's driving me mad trying to find a solution. Any suggestions please, would appreciate any help. Thanks

to charge the flyer switch completely off and connect to power source you dont need to turn on for charging.

I haven't a clue, it's been sat in the drawer for weeks now since it went like this so I can't remember as its been that long :/ when there is no power source the tablet won't switch on so I think the battery is completely dead.

when you connect the flyer to charger did the orange led lights up if it not lights up immediately wait for 5-10 minutes it will light up

Yes it lights up flashing Amber, it's exactly the same as when it's plugged into the PC :/

OK I will try it, is it not draining as fast as charging when it's looping at the hboot menu?

the battery is draining faster in hboot menu because the screen brightness is 100% on

I think it's hc, I never managed to flash a custom rom so it's still on stock hc

Yes straight into hboot, I can go into fastboot on the tablet but it won't let me select up or down using the volume buttons like its supposed to. It just stays on fastboot for a couple of seconds and then reboots exactly the same again into hboot.

charge first your flyer at least 80% and after that install the hc stock rom

when flyer is in hboot menu he is not charging the battery,i thought that when the flyer is off and you connect the charger in only the led is turned on not the tab who is going in hboot mode. Then try to power the battery like in the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2490641 you already saw.

or maybe you need to let the battery goes completely discharged the flyer will power off and after that you will connect the flyer to charger without pressing the power key and turning on the flyer.

OK I will try letting it discharge first failing that I will try to power the battery the other way. Thanks for your time and help, I'll keep you posted
