Blocked during flashing, please HELP

---

Hi guys,
I followed the guide step by step, after started flashing I remained blocked. On the flashing application is written "waiting 4 seconds for the tablet to enter the bootloader" as per attached screenshot
The screen on the tablet is black without any write as I think it should be. It seems to me that it enters APX mode but not bootloader
I tried the manual procedure too, but I never get the "Acer Iconia A500 APX Mode" write on the screen

What I have to do ?

Help me please...

yo do something wron
try again manual entering apx

I did it, but I can't get the write on the tablet display, it remains black

Solved,the cpuid was wrong, I found the correct one on /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpuid
See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1624645
No other way for finding cpuid has worked

...moved to Q&A.

Version 0.4 of the tool is out on TegraOwners. It's a known bug that 0.4 fixes. Make sure your tab is rooted before using the new APX Flash Tool and allow it to dump your BCT. It should sort out your issue

Hmm I never knew about that node before. It does seem to give the cpuid - extremely useful! Exponentially better than the dmesg method we're all using on ICS xD

If it's died like that just reboot the tab.
