My Android will not load up

[Guernsey]

Can anyone help me? It seems like it was literally yesterday that my Android was working just fine but now my Android will not boot up. I tried everything to get my Android back and I tried even using the Recovery to 'reset' my device but it still didn't work.

My Device is a Visual Land Prestige 7G

Is it stuck in a bootloop?

(The loading screen keeps doing its animation and never progresses from there)

[Guernsey]

Yes as a matter of fact it is. It won't leave that bootloop. Wat should I do? I am at my wits end.

If a reset doesn't do the trick, then a ROM flash should be considered...but since Visual Land Prestige is not one of the best-known brands around, I'm not even sure stock ROMs are publicly available for that model (and CSC version). You could always try googling around for custom ROMs, but there's no guarantee they'll work like a charm.

If your warranty is still valid, try exchanging your tablet for a replacement.

I will tryt exchanging it although I will lose my files forever. Visual Land sucks.

There are ways to retrieve your data (if you have an SD card, you can already salvage that) by booting the tablet into recovery mode and hooking it up to your PC via USB and using command lines through the Android SDK (and its ADB component), but I don't know whether it'll work on your Visual Land tablet.

However if you're still interested, here's a tutorial on how to recover certain files (pictures, ringtones) from a damaged Galaxy S2 phone with the recovery mode.

And, yeah, though it'll probably be less considerate towards your wallet, it might be better in the future to gravitate towards more prominent brands like Asus, Samsung or HTC: in the event of a problem, you're likelier to benefit from better support and recovery options.
