Lenovo Ideatab A3000 HELP!! - A3000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using my tablet for 2 years. Yesterday, my tablet froze for the 3rd time. When I reboot it, it always stuck on logo screen. I used to solve this by pressing the volume buttons randomly. Unfortunately, by doing it for like 3 times, it doesn't work anymore, so I decided to do the hard reset. When I did the wipedata/factoryreset, it seems that it failed to do the wiping process because I was stuck with the boot loop but it loops the wiping process. After that, it stops to a green android that has a big red triangle inside of it. Believe me, I tried understanding the forums regarding to this, but it doesn't quite fit to my situation. I didn't tweak or change any firmware and application. It just had boot loops. Now, it's fully shutdown. I hope I can recover my tablet.
I hope the answers/guide can be somehow understandable to noobs like me.
Thank you for reading.

Lenova Ideatab A3000
Hello...
Same problem with my tab :crying:.. I have been using the tab for 3 years. Now It's stuck on the logo and when I tried rebooting it didn't work. Later when it's switched on, it's showing some countries symbol in the Chinese language. It is also no use because after selecting the country it says "Timeout, Failed". The tab is not detected after connect to PC. .. Somebody please help me with this.

[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.

Need assistance with Boot Loops

Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.
Galaxy-note-3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-custom-recovery-your-bootloader-locked-galaxy-note-3-at-t-verizon-0156667/
If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.

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

My 6P is on a bootloop

Hi,
I was using my phone when it suddenly turned off and got stuck on a bootloop, every time the bootup stops a the white Google logo at the start. I accessed Fastboot and can't do anything beyond that, it doesn't launch recovery. I tried to flash it with the latest google images but to no avail, the process goes as usual but when the phone restarts it gets stuck gain.
What should I do? Is this the Nexus 6P's bootloop problem I've been reading about on some blogs?

Yes, BLOD and no recovery mode. It is a hardware issue. Nothing can be done from a software/flashing perspective. Hopefully you have a warranty of some type. Otherwise it's time for a new phone.

SM-G935A Stuck in multiple different loops

Howdy, all! This is my first post on XDA, and it comes after days of frustration. I'm relatively new to the back-end of phones, especially android. What happened is this:
About 4 or 5 days ago, I woke up to my phone completely dead, despite being plugged in. I tried turning it on, and got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S7" screen for a while, and then finally a blue screen with the android logo saying "Installing update." That process seemed to end rather abruptly and then went back to the first loading screen, followed by a black screen, then "Samsung," and repeat. At this point I tried plugging the phone in to see if smart switch would detect it... and this is where my ineptitude with phones starts to show.
I didn't realize that smart switch has an emergency recovery mode under "file," (*sigh*) so when my phone didn't show up on the main screen I assumed the worst. After some google-searches, I went in to clear the cache through Android Recovery. I was still trying to save my data at this point, so I didn't just erase everything and start fresh. I regret that now.
After clearing the cache, I rebooted the system through the menu, and was stuck in loop with the first screen being all black, except for some blue text in the upper left hand corner saying, "Recovery booting." The screen would then flash back to a blue screen with the android logo and "Installing system update," and then go black and repeat the whole process. Getting back into the recovery menu was sporadic after this, but was possible occasionally. This is where my ineptitude REALLY starts to show...
Despite having my current rom version displayed to me multiple times on the recovery menu, I neglected to write it down or record it in any way. Instead, I googled "SM-G935A stock firmware," and was able to find a presumably helpful link on these forums guiding me on flashing stock oreo files through Odin. I say presumably, because in the hands of someone who actually has knowledge on this subject, the thread was incredibly helpful. In my hands, however, it seemed to create a monster. I flashed the stock files downloaded from the link, and all looked good- Odin gave a solid pass, and the phone rebooted to the normal initial two loading screens. And then disaster- another boot loop. But this time, I have no idea what firmware used to be on my phone before I started fooling around.
At this point, I've had one near success with a flash of SM-G935AUCS8CRK1 through Odin where I actually got a blue LED indicator for the first time, as well as the AT&T logo and chime. Now, however, it seems that I either get stuck in that loop, or back to the original "Recovery Booting," "Installing Update," loop.
The phone is not rooted. I don't have a custom recovery installed, and I'm not even sure if I ever got around to enabling developer mode through the OS settings.
ANY help is appreciated. I'm pretty sure I've made the problem significantly worse than it was originally, but I've at least learned a lot in the process- hopefully I won't mess things up this badly in the future! Thanks for taking the time to read through this mess!
