The Acer DA241HL is a 24" Smart Display which has Android installed but also had HDMI input so you can use it as a second screen for a laptop or similar too.
Anyway, I've been able to reboot into the bootloader using adb with the Acer DA241HL connected.
However, it doesn't show up on fastboot devices
nor adb devices
and only stays on the boot options screen for about 5 seconds before it seems to turn off completely.
At the top, it explains that pressing or allows you to move up/down in the list of options (bootload, restart, shutdown, reboot ? something like that), and then pressing the power button to select the option... however this is not a tablet or a phone, it's a "Smart Display" and the Volume Up/Down options don't do anything but turn the volume up and down for the screen (it's like it's not sending those buttons directly to Android, but only to the screens built-in speakers).
Pressing the power button when on the bootloader doesn't seem to do anything either, I've had to press the power button multiple times before the machine reboots back into Android otherwise it continuously boots into the bootloader and then shuts off after a 5 seconds.
Does anyone know how I can fully system reset (as in roll back all the firmware updates I performed) this device?
I've tried pressing and holding Volume Up with the Power button to boot into the bootloader 'manually' instead of using adb but it didn't seem to work...
adb devices
orfastboot devices
, you must have your computer configured accordingly (Windows needs special drivers, Linux/Mac might be happy with just some configuration settings – see e.g. our adb tag-wiki). – Izzy♦ Jan 7 '14 at 10:31dd
for it. I never did that myself, and partition names are quite device specific, so I cannot give detailed help on that. – Izzy♦ Jan 7 '14 at 11:44
