Hey friends! I just recently got an Acer a500 as a gift. I went ahead and rooted the device with ICS 4.0.3 but now the problem is I can't get a recovery into the device cause the bootloader is locked, tried really hard to find a solution. I have tried NVflash but it says my device needs the USB drivers, which I already installed. I tried the power button and reset, but nothing happens. Please if anyone can kindly help me? I truly appreciate that!

Few questions first... (I am an Android n00b, but have had issues and flashed custom ROMs about 9 times now.)
Did you make sure to see if the device was properly detected in your OS of choice beforehand? Installed all the software to do so?
Did you install either CWM or TWRP to the device?
Make a recovery in case of issue?
I followed the topic (in this very forum) about flashing. I had some issues being new and all, but got it right... BEFORE I did an actual flash.
[GUIDE] TF300T Unlock/Root/Flash for Factory JB Devices (newbie friendly)
I am using the latest TWRP instead of the guides CWM advice. Due to CWM failing to create a backup for me. I felt not having a backup plan, was something similar to going to a redlight district without a rubber. Which means... What if something goes wrong, how will I fix it?
Does the device detect? Can you move files to the device from your computer?

Hey there, just curious as to how you managed to 'put some wrong files', what exactly did you do to achieve this?
If you can still get into recovery and you have fastboot hooked up, you can proceed to either:
re-flash the correct CWM version if your recovery is broken, or
upload the CyanogenMod package you want to install to your device and simply wipe & flash!
I don't recommend installing last week's nightlies, rotation is still broken. Not sure as to what version last worked.
Good luck!

Hi guys
I`ve got a major Problem Here. Please help!!
Me and a friend wanted to update my rooted Galaxy s4 from The unofficial to the official Kitkat Firmware. But The update failed. We tried again but still no succes. I didnt have enough space on my SD card. So I did a factory reset, installed twrp and let Odin install a small custom Rom. Odin succesfully installed it but Then I got stuck in The Boot screen. Probably I didnt turn on USB debugging
After days of surching The web I found out that I could change The rights for USB debugging over ADB tool. But i get stuck on The <su> command after entering <ADB shell>. The command cant be executed or something like that.
I then noticed that the root had gone with the factory reset. I installed that and now my PC (adb) wont recognize the phone anymore.
What should I do? Im still quite a noob so please dont critizise me if I missed something obvious.
Should I use ADB or is there a better sollution?
Please please help.
Hope that theres a sollution.
Keep posting

Do you have a custom recovery? Try to install it. I recommend CWM 6.0.4.6.
Later that, flash any flashable rom(remeber: correct model). Later flashing, reboot.
Hi guys and girls, I really like some help.
I got my tablet on the ICS iconia update from years back, Rooted en have some Acer root tool on it.
I would like to go to android 5 with the tab (if possible) but there is so much to do from here that I lost it.
There is no bootloader on it and i dont have a recovery or something like CWM. I really have no idea what to do from here...
Could one be so kind and help me out??
regards wesley
so i found this APX flash tool from blackthunder which does everything on his own... perfect i thought and all is fine, even enters apx mode normally but then comes with the message that i dont have the usb drivers installed. next i follow the link given ofc and install it only to be kept in that same loop. Rebooted my laptop and tab several times now but still keep getting that message. anyone here knows what could be wrong??
Could you please tell me where you found the APX flash tool? I'm trying to upgrade my A500 (currently on 4.0.3).
Thanks
Hi everyone. Hope somebody can help me restore my phone again. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader of my phone but I cannot boot to Rom. Every time I power on the phone it will boot to CM stock recovery. Tried to flash TWRP recovery but unable to write image. Device is locked. Did some research and found out the reason behind this is I did not unable update to CM Recovery in Developer Options.
What is the best way to resolve this issue? I still have access to Fastboot and can do ADB commands but device is locked.
Will sideloading a stock CM OP2 Rom will fix the issue? I'm also concerned with the draining of the battery, if I cannot turn on because no more charge already.
I'm using Mac computer but I can borrow a windows laptop to fix this.
Any help will be highly appreciated..
Thank you very much in advance guys!
God bless!
Hi guys,
I made a terrible mistake. I locked my bootloader with AXON7TOOLKIT 1.2.1 and now it seems dead. I only get the ZTE logo and after that nothing. When I connect the phone to my PC it is recognized as QUSB_BULK as a USB-device.
Someone told me there is a way to fix this problem but I have no idea how. Anyone in for helping me out?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-ztea2017v2-0-0b08-t3658636 you didn't say which model of the Axon & you had( U, G,...) this should be able to get you back up and running though.
