[Please help] Bricked Acer A3-A20
(28-12-2015, 03:58 AM)fmarino09 Hello everyone,
I really need help. A friend asked me to fix his tablet because it had malwares, so I rooted the device, and deleted the bad files, but then i got error messages, and at the end it went off. Now when i turn it on, it's stuck on the ACER logo, MT65xx goes on and off, I install all the drives but still goes on and off. I sent through adb sideload the stock firmware Acer_AV0K0_A3-A20_1.018.00_WW_GEN1_DCC thinking that i was going to unbrick the device but it didn't work. I tried smart phone flash with the 1.018.00 firmware but I keep getting BROM ERROR (2004). What can I do to unbrick it? Thank you everyone!

There's a fix for error 2004 at that link. Are you certain you followed it?
If so, does error 2004 persist?
(28-12-2015, 11:50 AM)fmarino09 Yes I followed it, when I hit download, I plug in the tablet to the computer, the computer first recognizes it, then rejects it, and then sp says BROM error: 2004

Use Another PC. Ensure to change the compatibility settings and ensure the phone is off during flashing

I changed compatibility twice, first windows XP, and then windows 7, still getting the same error. Also the battery is always unplugged when the flashing is happening.
