Hi, it's "funny" because I had that problem just yesterday. I was trying to make the 3G USB modem in my tablet with Taboonay rom and... I had the super idea of changing the build.prop and some other files.
When I restarted the tablet, vibration and black screen... I was in panic for about 1 hour and a half or so, and finally I could restore the tablet entering into the recovery boot -> advance -> format system and the other folders (I don't remember the names) except "sdcard" folder, which is where user info and backups are.
After that, different wipes and install zipmfrom sdcard. I re-installed the Taboonay rom and now everything is working right.
Good luck!
I had tried the Prime Rom on it. It was working at first. After reboot I got the vibrating black screen. I tried to get to the recovery but no such luck.

I had this problem as well when trying to do a clean install of Taboonay 2.0. The screen would go black after the acer logo finished loading and the tablet would vibrate every 2 seconds or so.
The issue was solved once I reflashed with a clean ROM backup of Honeycomb 3.2, and reinstalled the clockwork recovery bootloader using Acer recovery installer.
Hopefully this will solve your problem like it did for me.

hahahaha when I had the trouble I was out of home and without internet access, so I couldn't read your post and just used my imagination.Thanks in any case for the info
I think the OP issue is far worse than what some of you thought because I had it too.
I had a Transformer and I did a CWM backup. Later I got the A500. I didn't delete the Asus CWM from the microSD, then I did a backup of the Acer also (full backup with everything). So now there are two dated folders in the backup folder, I didn't even realize one of them was from another device anymore. (I do backup often since I have more than one Android devices.) I accidently flashed the Asus backup to my Acer. Not only its completely black screen, it vibrates nonstop forever. Will not boot into recovery or anything. Had to RMA it.
Let this be a lesson learned... don't be dumb like I was.

I'm just throwing these suggestions out there, maybe try booting in to recovery with the power adapter connected, or maybe try booting to recovery without microsd inserted (if its in there)

Hey thanks for the suggestions, I have tried any and all and it just buzzes with a blank screen.
The best that I have been able to do is get it to go into apx mode. Now Im trying to see if there are any alternatives that I can reflash from computer.

Thanks I will do that now as I am running out of options other than sending it back to Acer.
Try using hard reset:
1) Turn off your tablet,
2) Rotation lock to your left;
3) Press Vol+ (which is to a rotation lock) and power on simultaneosly
4) As soon as the tablet vibrates you can release the power on button and you should start to switch rotation lock left and right till you see
Erasing Userdata...
Erasing Cache...
Vol+ is still pressed;
5) The tablet starts to format
6) Your tablet will be as clean as it can be.

Now 'that' is a new trick i have never heard. But by 'clean as can be', just what does that mean?

Hi, I´m new here... and I know this thread is quite old but.. I got registered just to say thank you to xpreshn because tha simple trick was the only one among almost 20 ways I tried in order to get back my Iconia a500 that I just damaged while updating via OTA to IceCream Sandwich..
If anyone else had rooted the tablet.. and then turned on the "backdoor" of timmydean root solution.. and the installed the OTA of ICS, and now is getting its A500 stuck on the word "android" and booting forever.. and no other solution is working..
this one worked for me .. and the most incredible thing is that the device got on Android 4.0.3 not on factory restored.. and once I associated my google account.. most of the apps (maybe 90%) were self-downloaded and installed..
I got Root access on ICS just with one click .. doing this

Hello Guys,
i have a question about problem i have with my DEsire HD.
I've turned my device of last night and i tryed to put it on this morning, but its freezes at the white Backround Green "HTC" screen. I've taken out the battery and gave it another try, but it still freezes the same way.
I thought i can fix the problem by Updating from revolution hd 6.1.0 to 6.1.1 but at the installation with recovery mode over boot laoder ( power on + vol down ), i get an error Status 7.
I've searched google and found you have to super wipe your device and wipe the cache, ive done this and now i only can acces the Bootloader if i try to get to recovery mode, the recov mode loops.
Is there a way to unbrick my dive over H-Boot USB Plug?
Get the sdk, go bootloader, and do 'flash recovery recovery name.img'

If that doesnt work, you could always redownload the stock 1.32 rom [Download link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003] and paste it onto the SD card. When booting into bootloader it should re-install the stock rom. You'll have to re-root and install recovery again.
It s not a brick for sure...
Think I've bricked mine, when I attempt to power on, nothing happens except for 5 short battery vibrations, black screen, green battery light stays on. I have a back up but cant acces recovery to install it. Please HELP!!
Id reckon its hard to brick them nowadays

Does it respond on your USB connection ? Take out your SD card... Most unlikely it became trash what were you doing before it went black ?

This has happened to me a couple of times, remove the battery and leave it out for a couple of minutes, reboot and voila (although it might not boot to OS, you should at least be able to access recovery)
Hi. DId you fix the issue. I have 2 devices with the same simptoms, i flashed stock rom, custom roms, but nothing helps. I think problem is in radio, cause even if i flash it from fastboot and it gives me that ok is OK, radio version didn't change.

So I have some problems with my OPT.
As soon as the system has completely booted the screen remains dark. Before this (boot animation, recovery, fastboot) the screen works fine.
I already tried all methods from Oneplus Two - Solution for Hard Bricked Device more than once but the problem could not be solved.
Current state: USB debugging disabled, oem unlock disabled. Fastboot and recovery work.
I flashed 2.2.0 full via stock recovery, then I wiped data and cache.
After booting I can see the language selection like the phone comes fresh out of the box but as soon as I try to select the language the screen turns black again. I can go back to language selection by pressing the back softkey and then the power button. When doing this the screen turns on again.
How can I make it work again?
Try flashing the Hydrogen OS.
Tried it but it the issues is still the same apart from the fact that it boots Hydrgen OS instead of OOS.

Is it a New mobile?
I had a remote service with oneplus today. They basically did the same like in the Oneplus Two - Solution for Hard Bricked Device thread and it did not change anything.
So it must be a hardware issue and I will let it be repaiered.

Update: *SOLVED*
I got a strange message that popped up on my phone this morning. It stated "It's gonna rain. Take a umbrella with you". It stayed on top everything else and wouldn't go away. I thought that it could possibly be one of my weather apps and got stuck, so I rebooted. After that point, it gets to the Google loading screen animation and never passes. After subsequent reboots, it does the same thing. I am able to get into TWRP recovery though.
Does anyone know what be causing this and/or how to remedy it? Might it be some type of malware? I have attached a screenshot of it.

well, since you can boot in twrp you can do a factory reset.
safe mode is a better idea but i dont think you can boot into safe mode without starting the phone.
here are the steps but i dont think it will work so try to delete dalvik and cache from recovery, if that didnt work I think factory reset is the only option unless someone has a better idea
Make sure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You’ll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Touch OK.
Your device will start up in safe mode. Try using your device normally. Remember, you won’t be able to use any installed apps

I tried clearing the cache and dalvik earlier, along with deleting the GO Weather app files, but that didn't help. I thought about safe mode, but I don't see a way to do it without already being booted to Android.
What if I dirty flash the same stock 6.0 ROM I'm using? I'd like to keep files and apps intact, so I'd prefer to not perform a factory reset, but will if I exhaust other options.
I just realized that I never came back here to update on what happened. I wound up booting into TWRP recovery, connecting to my PC via USB, backing up any data that I needed, then factory reset. That took care of it. Luckily, that also cleared up some other minor, but annoying, issues I was having. Needless to say, I haven't been and won't be using GO Weather EX any longer.
Galaxy S4 I9505
Phone was second hand to me at the start of this year, though had been well looked after, always in a case etc
I flashed it with the newest stock ROM in January this year
I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505BTUHOJ1_I9505XXUHOJ2
& rooted with CF AutoRoot
It has worked fine until about 2 weeks ago, when it randomly shut down. After restarting, it kept bootlooping.
Left it off & charging overnight, & the next morning it booted ok. Managed to use spotify for a few hours.
Then it started bootlooping again, sometimes getting all the way but then crashing after a few minutes.
Managed to boot into recovery & do a 'wipe cache', that didnt fix it.
'Wipe data' didnt fix it
Have flashed the PIT file & ROM (via odin), no errors in odin, done it twice now
wiped cache & data
still wont boot past the white splash screen, only sometimes boots into recovery
(also, only the menu button lights up, not the back button.)
I've checked the power button (clicks & dosnt stick)
Dont think the batteries the issue (charges fine, dosnt get warm, isnt bulging)
What else could stop it booting?
Have you tried booting into safe mode?
Safe mode, from what I read, can be accessed by holding the menu button while the phone boots.
But you should also do some reading about it, in case I'm wrong.
The other idea would be to try a custom ROM.

Can't boot into safe mode
(& having read up on it, it would only not run apps that arn't already in the ROM)
Any suggestions for a custom ROM
& why would it work when the original official one won't?
Well, it's booted far enough to get into android & add a google account, then it bootloops again.
Then after leaving it off for a while, it will boot & let me look at settings etc, then bootloop
however
the menu soft key stays lit all the time after a boot
the top half of the phone, around the camera, gets very warm
Does that indicate it's a hardware issue?
Could it be the battery?
If it's the top half warming up without you doing anything, it's the motherboard.
Boot into recovery and and let it stand by, see if it reboots.

The battery can't prevent the ROM from booting. It would have to turn off during the boot, which it doesn't. So, by my logic, it isn't the battery.
Try official CM.
