After factory reset, erase icon cycles continuously. Tried Power and Volume buttons and now have message Entering Dnx mode, waiting for fast boot command. Then nothing. Any suggestions?

    Try reinstalling. Also what are your plans for this machine?

    Cannot get passed the erase icon cycling. Other, using pwr and vol buttons, message "entering Dnx mode, waiting for fast boot command" then nothing. Cannot proceed. Plans for the unit - throw against the wall.

    Which Iconia One 8 model is it? If old enough it is possible the drive has failed…

    Thanks for answering. Unable to do anything while erase icon is cycling (for days). Tried Volume and Power buttons simultainiously, when power up, release power button. Message "Going into Dnx mode, awaiting fast boot command. Then nothing. No matter what I hit, no change until it reverts back to cycling erase icon.

    Sure sounds like the drive has died… No real fix for that, I'm afraid. :(
