"encryption unsuccessful" after factory reset

shants11

I've done a factory reset on this Acer Iconia Tab A200 but when it reboots it still shows "encryption unsuccessful" message and says I need to do a factory reset to fix it.

 

It shows the "erasing cache" message after I attempt the factory reset but I keep getting the "encryption unsuccessful" message.  I tried the factory reset after removing the micro SC card too.

 

I've looked from tutorials on how to flash the device with a new image using FastBoot but every tutorial I have found is either just unclear, or has broken links (for downloading the necessary software).

 

What should I do next?

Encryption can lead to all kinds of issues.

 

I did see something on one of the Android forums:

I'm hopeful that it may help in your situation.
