Bricked [A510] Need Help please !

---

Hi everyone,

I just bricked my A510 and I am unable to fix it. My tablet does not have a bootlader at the moment and it won't boot. I found this guide in the forums but this guide does not work for A510 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1585907
I also tried to enter the APX mode by following this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1747802 but I also had no luck there.
If I can enter the APX mode then maybe I can flash a new bootloader and then using recovery I might be able to install one of the ROMs I found here. But so far no go.
Any help with unbricking my tablet will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all

sad,

how did it happen ?
sorry, no answer to help currently

The method for the 500 tab for APX mode, was press and hold the reset (paper clip hole on the bottom). Then press and hold PWR till it vibrates. Then count to 3 seconds, release PWR, then 1 second later release the paper clip.

This should leave you with a black screen, and the PWR light should be on.

This was for the 500/501 series tabs.

the method for APX is described in one of the quoted post of the OP. However the only way to check the A510 is in APX is to plug it to the computer.

In this cas you have to press and hold both volume keys, press reset with a paper clip, and the release the volume keys. The screen will stay black and the power led will not lit either.

However APX mode is only for flashing via nvflash and we don't have any element to flash an A510 this way...

None of the shortcut methods for entering APX mode discussed in these forums worked for A510. They only make the tablet turn on as usual and it just gets stuck in the boot screen with Acer logo. I guess I will have to wait until someone finds a way. Please keep me posted if you find out or hear any solution.

Thank you

One of the old tricks (hold PWR & Vol- & toggle rotation lock) still works.

This also did not work on A510
Thanks to everyone who replied and tried to help though.
Any new suggestions will be highly appreciated.

I have the same problem. Have you tried this tegra 3 nvflash method?

I think that tegra 3 no longer support nvflash from tegra 2. Well it's for transformer prime but it worth a try. It's tegra 3 too. Just I don't know how to modify it to work on Acer A510.
