Semi bricked? - Acer Iconia A500

Last night after a good night of working with my tablet out on the job I came home and noticed it was running a little sluggish so I rebooted it. It then proceeded to hang on the bootloader screen. I tried flashing into recovery and wiping and reinstalling but it still stays hung up on the bootloader screen. Getting into the recovery boot loader it says the secondary kerlel akb has an issue or something. Is there a way to Odin this thing back to stock? It's not totally bricked I can still get into recovery just can't get it to boot into the second kernel or whatever it means. I can get the exact terminology if someone needs it but I have been bricked worse than this before its just weird it won't fix itself after I re install a new ROM.

I am on the Skillraz V8 boot loader to be exact, and thats the first screen it gets stuck on..

I just tried flashing a stock un rooted ics zip but it still hangs on the first screen after rebooting after the install, which seemed to take ok... and it doesnt change my recovery or anything back to stock.

I am going to throw it at something...

Why does my N7 seem to get stuck on the Google Splash screen constantly? I rebooted it earlier and it got stuck on the splash screen, now I can't even get it to boot up. It was running just fine, just having a problem with my works Wifi so I rebooted...
It has done this in the past a lot and the only way I was successful in getting it unstuck was by booting to bootloader and "fastboot reboot"
Am I the only one with this problem? I might have to take it back...
Your not the only one it happened to me a couple times if i recall. Sometimes it would just stay stuck on that google screen which I am really starting to dislike at the moment. starting to miss my boot animations on my atrix lol. But yea a hard reset or loading bootloader usually fixes it. Are you on custom rom? I was on Clean 1.1 before mines went dark.

[Q] I somehow lost my recovery?

So I was running CWM (Philz) I believe, and I had been running into issues while on rooted 4.2.2 D800 stock ROM. There were force closes and random reboots, etc. I've only installed xposed mods. I've also used android tuner to adjust some of the build.prop and kernel presets.
However, after my phone got stuck in what I thought was a boot loop, I finally got it up and running. What happened next was odd. I tried booting into recovery -> the "LG" splash screen showed up and it went into another infinite boot loop.
I'm assuming I somehow corrupted or lost my recovery. Any advice on what to do? I don't know if I should follow the original instructions for flashing a recovery here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150.
Edit: Jesus christ my phone infuriates and confuses the hell out of me. After attempting to enter the recovery again, I am now stuck in a permanent boot loop. The last time I fixed it was by turning my phone off....and then *WAITING*.
What? That doesn't make sense you say? Of course it doesn't. But that's still what worked. I waited 12 hours, and then tried turning it on again. When I did, oh look, the AT&T screen!
CONFUSING. help please...
Double edit (Hard Mode): Going into download mode when I'm in this constant bootloop = nothing happens. That little icon that says "Download Mode" with the 5 blue circles just stays there, and my laptop ends up not recognizing anything. This happened the last time too, and all I was able to see on my laptop was "QHSUSB_BULK". I thought this meant that I would have to do a complete wiping process through Linux (found on another thread somewhere), but apparently waiting 12 hours also fixed the problem.

Unable to go into Recovery mode

This morning I was in bed browsing Reddit when my phone suddenly crashed and rebooted.
I put it aside to let it boot up, but after a few minutes when I looked at it the screen was just white. Rebooted it again, it then went into boot loop at the splash screen.
I attempted to get into recovery, but to no avail.
Attempted a few more restarts to get the phone up and running but no luck.
So I decided I must flash stock firmware onto it. Did that through Odin, seemed to be successful according to Odin, but my phone stays on the splash screen while it says "recovery booting" in the top left corner. After a while it boots up again, this time only the splash screen, no text in the top corner. But its stuck in a boot loop.
Flashed firmware and PIT file, then flashed philz touch recovery and still stuck on the splash screen.
Tried older firmware versions and still no luck
I'm at a loss as to what steps to take next..
Well, something must have caused that crash. Maybe hardware failure. Reason why it wont boot up. It can't be software related since it wont even boot up any software, except for recovery and download mode.
You might try flashing a different bootloader, since that's the thing that controls the OS booting.

Samsung galaxy s5 stuck on bootloop with no recovery mode?

Got a problem with my samsung galaxy s5. A few days ago it was working fine but occasionally randomly rebooted itself. It was be on a bootloop then it will boot up normallly after while.
Randomly the phone had ended up in a bootloop which it is not able to recover from.
i tried using the recovery mode, but that doesnt work. The phone will boot up the first logo after while, but usually it will boot up to a white screen, then will constantky repeat and never end. The screen is working fine, i do not know why it is booting to white screen.
My phone did that with stock ROM bootloop, I found a good ROM and cm12, soz I didn't answer your question that well. But to me the white screen your getting sounds likes you've deleted your boot loader, but don't take my word for it as I'm not a XDA developer, but I'd try and reload boot loader, but wait till you get a reply from xda

Infinite boot loop of destruction.

So I was going through instagram like every other day when suddenly my phone boots and the boot just looped and looped... Then I made the hard decision of resetting my phone completely. Did cache wipe and data wipe and thought that it would work now but nope. Still in boot loop. Then when I got home I thought that I'm going to Odin and installing the stock ROM from this site. Then I continued to install the ROM, NEE version (since I live in Finland), and it got installed. Booted and looped. Looping and looping and looping right next to me. I tried using Samsung Kies but it was not doing anything when I was in download mode. Tried the emergency thing but nothing popped up to the list that it should have popped on. Don't know what I have done or what my phone has done. I didn't have root at the time it started the looping nor I have now and don't plan to get it again. Didn't have any other recovery than the stock recovery and have never used triangle away. Suggestions?
Using Odin, flash a rom with a pit file. That should repartition the phone and, hopefully, solve the issue.
