[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smalis:
I am confused. I have been happily using Vegan 5.1.1, but want to go to Gingerbread. I looked at "VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1", but the post says:

"what's missing? Nothing except High Definition Video Hardware Decoding... not sure if we will ever get that one working right on Gingerbread."​

Reading further in that thread, the gist is that ROM developers can not implement "High Definition Video Hardware Decoding" in GB on the G-Tab because NVIDIA has not released the "Harmony GB drivers."

So, I tried to start a sticky thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075728) that would alert all to the anticipated eventual release of these drivers, but my request was denied, because "gb-compatible drivers are already included in cm7 and aosp-based ROMs."

Does this mean that CM7 and AOSP-based ROMS have "High Definition Video Hardware Decoding", which means I can use those ROMS to move to GB without losing video performance?

Or, do we have here a failure to communicate?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
havign not used CM7, I can only comment on what I've pieced together from various posts. Apparantly, CM7 does have some level of hardware acceleration/decoding, but it's not from official updates or drivers from Nvidea. From what I've gathered, it appears that they were custom built using what's available from other ports, or reverse engineering.

Of course, I also believe that the reason your request was dienied isn't valid. you want to keep ev eryone updated on the status of OFFICIAL driver releases from Nvidea. We shouldn't stop expecting them to release support drivers for their hardware, just becuase somebody was able to find a workaround to get it "mostly" working.

It seems to me that admins here are very partial to CM7 and it's developers. Certainly no offense to the devs, but admins should be supportive of all efforts to make the G-Tablet the best it can be, and that includes efforts to get official updates from the software and hardware manufacturers.

My example of this would be that CM7 is a good clone of Gingerbread, it's not officially Gingerbread, though. However, there is great work being done on a clone of Honeycomb, but it get's no love BECAUSE it's not officially Honeycomb. Seems kinda confusing to me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rw144:
I believe that your request was denied probably because the official libraries for gingerbread were released in march and this information is available on the forums. To anwser your question yes cm7 and some other roms have used these libraries to enable hardware decoding. However they are still work in progress and overall they wok well. Vegan ginger didn't have the time to include the libraries in his release but i would expect he will soon. G-Hrmony Gb just released his version with hardware accelleration so you might want to try that or cm7. I am not sure if Vanilla Gb has it or not,but i believe it does.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smalis:
Thank you for your replies, I will look at G-Hrmony GB and CM7, and may give them a try.

However, even though there is information spread throughout the forums about hardware drivers and accelleration, it does take a lot of time and effort to locate it all, read through it all, and sort it out. NVIDIA's release of official GB hardware drivers is an important functionality and upgrade issue, and it would be nice if we could easily stay updated on that subject by looking in one place.

Ah well, perhaps NBD, but I'm just sayin...

[Acer Iconia A500] danaobrest78:
Hello,

I have a pb with my acer Iconia.

The tablet is blocked on the screen "Android" ...

I tried the button "reset" but nothing better ...

Is there a way to make a hard reset (factory reset) with a combination of buttons ?

Thanks a lot ! :confused:

PS : My Acer Iconia Tab is "rooted".
[Acer Iconia A500] iCurmudgeon:
Try holding the power key down till the unit shuts off, then let go and hold it down again till it restarts. Good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] Picolini:
I've found holding the volume button closest to the corner and power button at the same time forces a restart. Of course, I haven't tried just holding down the power button alone when it's frozen, so the volume button may not be necessary.
[Acer Iconia A500] fartsman:
I am having the same problem with mine. My widgets started acting weird and disappearing. I thought a reboot might help but now it gets stuck on the Android load screen. I have tried hard reset and holding volume up during reboot. The latter takes to a recovery boot but seems to search on the SD card which doesn't really help. Acer tech support is absolutely worthless and it is too late to return to best buy so now I have to ship it to acer for service. Sucks.
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Try this. Plug in a usb keyboard and power on while holding volume down. Keep holding both buttons until you see clearing cache in the upper left and you can then enter a menu by hitting HOME on the keyboard. There is an option to do a factory reset. You will lose all user data by doing this factory reset of cache and data but it may just get your tablet back. There are some other posts on this in dev if you search. Good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
maybe.you,both have a bad app that is causing this

try comparing installed apps .might.find what is the.cause
[Acer Iconia A500] daswahnsinn:
I did this and it will boot now but during setup the setup wizard FCs and starts over. I checked the Dev sections and I didn't see anything on factory resets? I'm running out of options.
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
I would try a couple times to boot since cache has been cleared, sometimes it will fix itself after the programs have a chance to JIT compile...it is typical in Android to see some FCs after the cache is cleared. If after a couple boots things aren't working their way out then you may have to flash a system image for your build, however this shouldn't be necessary unless you rooted and changed some stuff like uninstalled system apks etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] daswahnsinn:
What I did before the factory reset was replace the whole /system/app folder ( that I deleted some bloat ) with one that was complete like stock. I got a bunch of FCs, followed by a black screen. So I followed the steps you provided because the symptoms fit.

I've also done multiple restarts and the setup wiizard is still FCing.

this is my build Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 doubt this will help me.
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
If I were you (note the disclaimer), I would find and flash the complete system.img file for your build (see the [Dev] System Images thread). Once you have the proper system.img for your build in hand, then you can write the system partition in it's entirety. You can find examples of this in the same dev thread.

Cliff's notes:

Use adb to connect via usb and place the the system.img into /mnt/sdcard (adb push command), or you can do this another way if you have access to your storage via USB. It will take some time to copy, several minutes at least.

You will need root to do the rest, but obviously you already do if you overlaid system/apps. Using the adb shell as su, mount the partition as writable and use the dd command within the adb shell to restore the system partition. It will take several minutes to write, so don't panic.

Here is an example of the dd command if your .img is called system.img in /mnt/sdcard:

>adb shell

# su

# dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

# reboot
[Acer Iconia A500] mikehe:
do i need to try adb i cant get my android market to load it force closes every time, i wished i could just load an factory image from older version and then let it grab the updates and start from fresh, i am rooted which may have been a mistake. i can hook an usb keyboard up hold home key get into recovery but if i put an rom.zip on sd card it doesn't see it.....what am i doing wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jznwlnl:
Hi There,

I have also the problem that when I booting my tablet it stucks on the Android logo. I have tried to hook up an usb keyboard but he can´t find him. I get the Androidman with a note of exclamation.

Can someone tell me where I did go wrong? If I try it I see the cache messages etc. in het left corner.

My tablet is not rooted.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
if you want to do hard reset first of all make sure you have an appropriate upate.zip on you external sd-card preferably use a stock rom.

after you do volume+ (up) and power once it vibrates keep your finger on volume + and toggle the screen switch few times. then let it go it will update.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jznwlnl:
Thank you for your answer.

I have searched for a update.zip and I have download and ecrypt this file: Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.141.07_COM_GEN1_1305615165779_f0150ee4

If I put this file on my SDcard I still get the androidman with the ! in it.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
That file is an incremental update and is ONLY for updating FROM 1.104.02 TO 1.141.07.

If your version doesn't match exactly, the update will fail. You'd be better off grabbing one of the 3.1 OTA updates in the thread in the dev section, as these are full ROMs.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jznwlnl:
I have tried the HC 3.1 ROM. This ROM was 487 mb but I still get the Androidman with the ! in it.

I have tried the file: Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1.

The other files were 47mb
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Reformat your SD card, or try a different one.

Hi folks,

Have tried following the advice below, downloaded: Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1.

Added it to my SD card and then tried to boot whilst holding volume down.

It seems temperamental. Sometimes the Android with the ! appears and there's no progress bar. Sometimes the Android with the ! appears and there is a progress bar, but it never makes it past 25%.

I've tried formatting my SD card and redoing it but no joy.

Any suggestions?

Ok, a bit akward. I think i bricked my folio 100. I was working on upgrading to honycomb, i did some things wrong i think. Problem is now when i boot the screen stays black and only the power led goes on. Any idea where i shuld search to try and get it back to live?

if you can boot into fastboot you might be able to save your devise by pushing the revovery and rom to ur devise

I cant get into fastboot, i dont even get the toshiba logo.
[Folio 100 General] mblaster:
Did you try to connect to fastboot? Maybe your screen is broken (or if you are lucky the screen connector is loose). Does it vibrate when you turn it on?

It is very improbable to brick this device by flashing something. At least I never heard of it. Only thing known to me to fully brick your folio is by pressing 4x Power and volume down on boot (don't try that...).
[Folio 100 General] shidima_101:
When i press the power button it does nothing, only the power led on the right turns green (white when on AC ).

Also, when i connect it to usb and do a fastboot devices i get no respons. Realy think i did something wrong and bricked it :S

apologize for interfering & oftop, but certainly cant keep silence - "impossible to brick" - same i was told abt my dell streak device, but here I'm with bricked device on hands, where only ORT-JTAG can help :-(

it was bricked when PC hanged during rom flashing....so I guess every chance is possible :-(

Shidima_101 can you describe in detail before/during brick ?
[Folio 100 General] shidima_101:
Well, I'm not really sure what i did. And i think that is the problem. I was installing a new rom, and left it unattended. When I came back, something was wrong and I started messing with some options. Witch turned out to be wrong i guess :)

Tho I'm a little further now. When I connect the tablet I my pc recognizes its there a device, but I'm not sure I can get it working again. Tomorrow I have some time to look at it more.

Sader0 can you give me some info on ORT-JTAG? Do you know if its possible to do this on the Folio100 ? I don't mind opening up the tablet to get it back in to working order.
[Folio 100 General] cicciobellomo:
I'm in the same situation.

After the update to the last version, my folio apparently boot but the screen is blank. The backlight is on but nothing appears on the screen.

I'm able to go in Fastboot or in recovery mode, but formatting cache. system and reflashing different roms do not solve the issue

What I should do ?

SOLVED !

Ok, I have a small update. After trying a lot of different stuff, and nothing working, I decided to bring my tablet back to the store. First I tried to get them to switch my device for a new one, but that was a no go. So the device was returned to Toshiba for a check up and fix.

I was a little afraid that they would find out that i rooted and bricked my device, but today I got a letter telling me I can come pick it up and it was fixed free of charge :D

So tomorrow I'm going back to pick up my tablet :D

Just read this article. Wonder if this will be an OTA? Those with customs ROMS probably won't be able to get it? Is this something that will be rolled out through the carriers?!
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Ah you beat me to this! According to the article, the patch should roll out to everyone over the next few days. I would have to assume that it would be OTA as many android users are not even aware that this glitch exists. So, they probably would not download or install anything on their own.

Ok please help let me know what you guys think...

In theory could this same thing work given the following situation. My phone is rooted but the power button recently shorted and stopped working. Sprint didnt flag my phone as rooted but said get it back to stock and we will exhange it. Do you think it could work if I flash the odex using Rom MANAGER which ive never used to flash but im useless flashing through recovery with no "power button" to use as enter. Once I flash the rom using rom manager it will be back on sense from there can I then unroot without using the power button though bootloader or even HTC Sync because at that point I think HTC sync will recognize it? I hope all that makes sense im just trying to get my phone replaced. :/ Thanks!
