[SOLVED] Endless Boot Loop, Even After Factory Reset

[BlindFlip]

Hello Everyone,
I am hoping I am in the correct forum and that someone can help me. I've searched online with no success.


Problem: Stuck on reboot screen (Android logo). It is on an endless loop and I've kept it on for 24 hours (plugged in of course).
I did use the Android System Recover <3e> (Infotmic system recovery utility). I went thru the menu options, did the "wipe data," "factory reset" and "reboot system now." I actually did the factory reset over a dozen times and it continues getting stuck on the Android logo loop. Any recommendations?


Ematic EGLIDE 4 XL (EGLXL102B) 10" Internet Tablet Touchscreen
Operating System Version: Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich
Model No.: EGLXL102B

As the image indicates, it DOES NOT appear to be a way to disconnect the Battery.

I am having the same issues. PLEASE, CAN ANYONE HELP???

Please try the Factory Reset again, but do a data wipe AFTER... and expect it to take a while (not 24 hrs, of course) to 'catch up'...

You may need to have ematic fix it...

Dear Customer,
Here are some links so you can "flash" the tablet in order to reset it back to original settings.
This will also allow you to reset your password or pattern to unlock your tablet
Make sure to use the specific link that correlates to your model tablet

Please note that these specific models require a microSD card to flash (reinstall the OS): Just install the contents of the zip file onto an EMPTY microSD card. Then, turn your device off and insert the microSD card into your device. Then boot up normally to reflash your device. Please note that you will need to erase all data on the microSD card before you add this flash file.
*For the Eglide Pro only, you will need to press down the menu button while powering on to trigger to the reboot.

Here are the downloadable flash files to re-install your Operating System using the included software. Keep in mind that you will need an external computer with USB ports to perform this task.

Update - Boot Loop resolved!

Easy Steps:
1)Unzip the file then put the two folders on your microsd card
2) Turn off the device
3) Insert the miscrosd card on the slot
4) Press power and let it update
5) After update is complete remove thecard then power the device

That's all that is needed to do! After you power on the device, the boot process may take 1 to 2 minutes (be patient).
I hope this was helpful.

Does anyone happen to have the Software ROM for the EGLXP101P or will the above info work for me? I recieved this tablet used as a gift from a family member but upon turning it on I recieved a black screen with white text "ANDROID_". So I am assuming I need the software to be reinstalled. I have contacted support with no reply yet. But I fear they will close the case because I do not have the reciept as this was a hand me down gift. Thanks!
