Then boot TWRP and see if partitions can be mounted. check with fastboot if the serialno appears. Enter fastboot mode from bootloader screen. Unlocking will factory reset your tablet. you can unlock it from fastboot and try again. If device is locked you may not be able to enter recovery. When the android symbol appears, press Vol Up + Power to enter recovery.

Now navigate to recovery with Vol Keys, Power to confirm. you can enter recovery without usb debugging. I've tried these links, here and here but they seem to require USB debugging enabled or ability to access recovery mode from fastboot.Īdb and fastboot are different modes. I've just been researching the past few nights and trying to find a solution. Sorry in advance for mixing up terms etc. I'm pretty confident I have the correct drivers installed on my windows PC, which is connected to the tablet via USB.Īny help is appreciated at this point, I can't think of anything else to try. When trying to access through a platform-tools terminal, it doesn't show in a list of adb devices. Therefore, I can't perform an unlock using adb, and so can't flash a recovery image. However, the bootloader is locked and I'm pretty sure USB debugging was not enabled ahead of time. I am trying to get a recovery image on the tablet. Nvidia support says it is a 'soft-brick', as I can't get into recovery mode from fastboot. After powering down it hangs on the nvidia boot up screen when I try to boot it up. I have a Nvidia Shield Tablet that froze on me.

Minimal adb and fastboot xiaomi
