[Q] Bricked A100

---

Hello everyone,

I accidentally flashed using CWM recovery the stock rom and over it the Flexreaper ROM.

Now the problem:

Booting normally: Boot verified failed
Booting recovery: Recovery verified failed
Fastboot: Yes it works, but it's locked, can't flash anything.
ADB is not available.

Any suggestions how to fix this or get a unlocked bootloader again ?

Greetings, sniperfield

Sounds like you locked your bootloader while on a modded rom? If that is the case you hosed it, sorry to say. You need access to fast boot or adb to fix it, if you have neither its locked for good.

OK one thing, did you try booting with update.zip and holding volume down + power?
With luck it will install the stock rom so you can start over.

Yes locked bootloader + modded rom

update.zip doesn't work (how should it with a broken recovery ?)
but i which update.zip you mean exactly ?

Is there any hope with APX-Mode maybe ?

APX mode has so far proven completely useless for us, we don't have the SBK keys for our device.

The update.zip method is, partly, activated BEFORE recovery is, if you watch the bootloader text while booting up holding volume down, you'll see it look for update.zip before moving on to recovery, and TWRP and CWM don't look for it on their own, unless its something extra just on our versions of the those recoveries.

If fastboot DOES work, the only thing I can really suggest is attempt flashing CWM recovery.img, but of course, the bootloader will likely block it. You could also attempt to flash the bootloader blob again, which will accept fastboot oem unlock, but the normal method is through android's system, not fasboot.

...or hell just throw fastboot oem unlock at it anyways. If the bootloader is still the same, just locked, they may just unlock it. If the bootloader was replaced, it won't work either.

Good days;
I also have a tablet brick from yesterday. And I am very angry. Tape-worm the tablet with CWM and for supues the unblocked bootloader. Tape-worm installed this room http: // forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? T=1574897 and empece to having problem with CWM, since not me leia the external card SD for what not podia to do backup, or to load a new rom. at the time I put to look and lei, that was a problem probably of compatibility of the card SD or that was returning to realize again everything the process of unfreezing of bootloader. and this way I did it. again this process, which was the same that it uses previously and I me work. Http: // forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? T=1557445.
I restart the tablet, and from this moment, have the logo of green maple tree, and a phrase of red color that he says: " recovery verified failed .... " it does not start the tablet, and it does not also leave me to enter the recovery. if I try to enter the recovery this message goes out for me.
Erasing cache before SD update...
SD update cmd: recovery -

Booting kernel recovery image
please, I am driven to despair, have tried flashear with different roms, with distitnas cards mike SD, with formats in fat, fat32 and ntfs. and do not manage to do anything. I have tried to install again everything across the PC, but the PC neither recognizes me the tablet, when I connect it to the PC, even the connection of the usb nor is heard, since this one does not manage to be ignited completely. And I am not going to take her to the SAT to whom receive from me 100 €, , Since for other 100 € mas I buy myself the new nexus. but it gives me great anger, because really I like a heap this tablet and it was going less than two weeks with her. Please, to say to me what should be, if necesitais mas information, to say it to me. Thank you very much
