Anyone help with an A3?

[John155]

Hi, I have an A3 which is stuck on a boot screen (with the 3 bars) I've tried everything I can find online but I just can't get it to recover via the SD card with either the latest version of system files or recovery files any help PLeeeease

Not done the A3 personally but have you tried proper recovery mode from your PC connected via usb cable ?

Find a guide on that its the best way.

I know but I was just hoping someone had some thoughts I have seen on one site about renaming files to ensure they are acted on but again so far nothing

Not sure if it works as works on other boxes
Try hard reset by using a pin on the AV slot by holding the pin and at same time replug the power adapter.
Keep holding the pin inside the AV slot until you see the droid picture

not sure what you mean by av slot I'm already trying the reset button

 

[Ryanm56]

On the back of the A3 is there an AV slot.
If not then obviously will not work.
The reset button is probably just a soft reset.
Most Linux android devices allow that option for hard reset

I don't see any av slot only hdmi sd card (and reset button which all say is what to press but no use)

It is just a standard A3 mini

This is a link to the last firmware available for the standard A3 box. 307.01 MB file on MEGA and there is a video tutorial if it helps

sorry you meant the video from your previous post, I've checked and done all of this but the A3 just goes to the boot screen and never does anything else
