try to uninstall some apps of your phone. Maybe it will help the other to install. Moreover, you shouldn't do anything with your phone when apps are downloading. Excuse my bad english, I'm french.

Would someone be so kind to teardown his/her mhl cable to see if there is something special in it or it's just plastic with wires :)

Thanks

I'm asking for this because i'm planning to make one myself :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
It's a bit more than just a cable; it'll have some kind of bridge chip to convert the phone's MHL output to HDMI that current TV sets will accept. This is one reason why the existing MHL adapters require a charger input -- the bridge chip requires some power to operate, and you don't want to drain the phone's batteries by drawing the bridge chip power from it.

Once TVs with MHL interfaces appear on the market, a simpler, straight-through cable might work, but for now, you're stuck with the chipped adapter.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jojo2peter:
Hey m8,

this was the most helpful and most informative reply I've ever read in a forum.

(of course including the link)

The page answers most of my questions, I've ever had about MHL.. Used google but didn't find that.

Thanks!!11

Hello

Is there any Mod out that allows changign the vibration intensity on haptic feedback on a DHD? IMO it is much too intense, my finger always shakin like hell...

Many thanks
[Defy General] snurrbo:
When I connect headphones or a cable between headphone connector and a sound system it seems the phone don't recognize it. If I try to start the FM-radio I got a message telling "Headphone required To listen to FM radio you must plug in headphones to the headphone jack."

If I start webradio or something else that plays music I get the sound from the built in speaker instead of the connected item.

If I restart the phone it works again but onlt for some time(a few hours) and I don't know what or when it fails again.

It feels like a software problem but I'm not sure at all.

Anyone that have a clue what I can do to get rid of this most irritating fault?

(The phone is equipped with rooted Froyo 2.2.2 Swedish version)
[Defy General] snurrbo:
I was listening to FM-radio when making a call. Radio was muted and after I hang up the headphone connector stopped working again.
[Defy General] snurrbo:
So it seems I'm the first one with this problem. To bad...
[Defy General] snurrbo:
The problem persist. Should I return this phone or do anyone have any idea what to do about it?

Every time I get a call the headphone connector got disabled and only a reboot enables it again.
[Defy General] daniel_loft:
I believe you should return it. Especially if it's on the original firmware. That way you'd know for sure that it cannot be your fault.

If you already flashed something, try a full reset flash again (maybe some other rom) and reset again.

This looks very much like a software problem to me.

Just my 2 cents...
[Defy General] snurrbo:
Do anyone think that at factory reset could solve the problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
OK, here is ClockworkMod Recovery for our beloved A500

NOTE:

If you encounter a problem with the filesystem on /data like it has become corrupt, place a blank file called "eraseData" (without the quotes) in the clockworkmod folder on your external sdcard or usb storage. This will revert back to actually formatting /data.

WARNING: by doing this you will lose everything that you have in /data/media.

Installation:

use adb (PC):

adb push recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.img /sdcard

adb push itsmagic /data/local

from terminal (TABLET):

su

chmod 755 /data/local/itsmagic

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

mount -o ro,remount /system

dd if=/sdcard/recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

./data/local/itsmagic

"recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.rar" - is for flashing normally with the normal method...

"update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.zip" - flashed from recovery and press reboot/power off(v1.1 don't use "Advanced" -> "Reboot Recovery" only buttons in the main menu) after its flashed(don't try to flash from any other recovery other than mine, will not work)

Video installation guide by cfcoleman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuf74JP5Jgw

Changelog:

1.1:

skips /data/media in backup/restore/format of /data

integrated "itsmagic"

additional option in advanced to run itsmagic manually

itsmagic is run on every restart/poweroff or recovery as a precautionary measure

ability to use usb storage in recovery for backups and restores...(has a priority system in place if usb stick is present on mount its used as a "sdcard", if not it falls back to microsd card), unmount and mount will also trigger this.

1.2:

flexrom backup & restore

bct + ebt + pt + gp1 backup(basically the first sectors of the flash that sc2k told you to backup when itsmagic got released...)

retrieve uid

itsmagic run at startup

usb keyboard fix

1.3.2:

fixed background disappearing

removed itsmagic from reboot/poweroff, not needed itsmagic is run at startup...

fixed flexrom not being present in advanced restore menu

1.3.3:

fixed back disappearing in Mounts and Storage menu

1.3.4(still in testing...):

added sync before md5 generation

sync and unmount of /sdcard after succesful backup

sync and unmount of /sdcard at reboot/poweroff

Thanks to sc2k for testing this.

Even though this recovery has been tested, I am not liable for any loss of data or any damages done by this recovery.

tnx for this!!

great!!
[Acer Iconia A500] kimycai:
1.before we dd the image to mmcblk0p1 ，do we have to install itsmagic first

u said u had integrated itsmagic in that recovery，but how do we run that itsmagic，from where？

2. what is the “bl” and “bct” stand for？

3. is “to do……” what we can do or something else ？i cant understand it sorry。
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
I am all over this but please add more thorough instructions. Thanks

[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Yea tend to agree sounds awesome. But if we could have a more clear set of instructions. So people don't brick their tablet. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ibila:
to do means things he wants to add to or fix in this release.

What does dd stand for?
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Well thanks for explaining what to do means...:p

dd is the termed used to dump this image to a particular block in this case block 0p1
[Acer Iconia A500] kimycai:
o ,I see

"dd" is a command in linux, it can write a img to a partition or block

in this case, we can use that command like this:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
not going to happen unless I do some heavy work on it...

and besides... I understand that not anybody has a microsd.... but and usb stick I don't believe you don't have one of those...

I see a point using the internal memory for roms on the other tablets... but on the A500 we have a full usb host so I don't see the point of doing it...
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Sure. (message too short)
[Acer Iconia A500] fazdnoah:
im stucked at the acer logo screen!!!!

what i did wrong?

please assist...huhuhu :(
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Installing a stock 3.0.1 ROM will have that install-recovery.sh file which will overwrite your custom recovery, unless you disable it in the ROM file (delete it or chmod it to 444).

Who know's what 3.1 will do. maybe someone does.. But it probably will have that file too and you'll need to disable it. If you do disable it in the ROM, I would suggest doing the chmod 444 instead of deleting it. So that someone using the recovery installer app has the option of re-enabling it if they wish to do so.

Currently, I'm using a stock rom, and I keep that file enabled, so that I can just do one-time boots to clockwork mod, then when I boot normally, the stock recovery is restored automatically.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Can you tell us what all you did to get to this point? Is this after installing a custom ROM like PRIMEE v1.4?
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Ok thanks for the answer. Since I like my options open (eg. Clockwork always on the device in case something happens) I'll just search for the file and delete it once the official 3.1 comes out (and if it still has that file :) )
[Acer Iconia A500] JackHerra:
I also used Acer Recovery and it worked perfectly. Prior to the update to include CWR 1.3.2 I copied thors 1.3.2 image to SD card and renamed to recovery.img. Acer Recovery picked this up and installed :)

Only problem I had and also mentioned by others on this forum was with micro SD card. CWR would not mount this and so was unable to choose zip to install. I used another SD card from my phone and this worked though.

Both cards are 16gb sandisk so not sure why it didn't like one of them but from other posts it does seem to be a bit fussy with some cards.

Recommend you try to mount SD card in CWR before doing a full wipe and format of system :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
oh.. one other change in Acer Recovery Installer v1.3 that I forgot to mention.

It now runs itsmagic BEFORE flashing the recovery image. If itsmagic fails, you get a message saying so and the recovery does not get flashed. Much safer this way.
[Acer Iconia A500] Agosh13:
where i can find the source code?

Is possible to backup data partition on USB storage?
[Acer Iconia A500] smaiitm:
Did you get here flashing a new ROM or just after installing the CWM Recovery ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
So how can we backup our own ROM?
[Acer Iconia A500] Raphaello:
So I have Custom recovery and if I enable this "Keep 'install-recovery.sh enabled'" and I will install some other ROM (ex. stock 3.0.1 rom) I will have my custom recovery back after flash?

and if I disable "Keep 'install-recovery.sh enabled" and flash ex. stock rom I will have stock recovery?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I think you have it backwards. A checkmark means your custom recovery will be overwritten when booting stock rom. Leave it unchecked to keep your custom recovery.

Another way of putting it... if you're running stock rom, checking that option means you'll have to flash your custom recovery everytime you want to use it.
[Acer Iconia A500] jessejames44:
I already have Acer recovery installer 1.2 already do I have to return my recovery back to stock then install the 1.3.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Nope. Just update it and run it to install the latest cwm recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
how can I backup my own rom?

Thanks

[Acer Iconia A500] SRed13:
IF this is an idiotic question, I apologize one hundred times:

How is this different from downloading Rom Manager from the Market and having that install ClockworkMod Recovery?
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
that doesn't support a500... a500 need a custom build of cwm(made by me ;) ) the emmc is partitioned differently than the rest of the tablets... among other things...
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Install clockworkmod recovery and use the backup/restore option.
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
I just wanted to extend a personal thank you to Thor & Euclid's Brother

You guy's are awesome for putting together such a sweet recovery package.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
I have a question...

Can I install recovery, select the option that removes recovery and then flash a full package from this list. Would that get my device onto a new stock rom without custom recovery?

P.S. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Acer Iconia A500] Raphaello:
Should I do "Full backup" in recovery or without "recovery img"? Will it be a problem when i restore my ROM with recovery img?
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Is it possible to use adb while in clockworkmod?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
yes.. BUT.. you need to read that whole thread. there is a problem with the full package scripts... they won't allow an OTA update due to messed up build.prop.

It's probably better to ask someone to post there clockwork backup (system, boot, flexrom) of the version you want. Restore those with clockwork. Then, if you want, you can enable/add the install-recovery.sh file so that it puts the stock recovery back on.

EDIT: another way is to use the "dd" command to flash these images: (these are the 1.104.02_COM_GEN1 images)

http://interphaze.com/US1-104/boot.img

http://interphaze.com/US1-104/flexrom.img

http://interphaze.com/US1-104/system.img

http://interphaze.com/US1-104/recovery.img

put them in the root of your external_sd (or usb_storage) and run these commands from adb or terminal emulator (adb preferred, so you know when system is finished).

run itsmagic, so you can boot properly after it's done.

dd if=/mnt/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/mnt/external_sd/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

dd if=/mnt/external_sd/flexrom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

dd if=/mnt/external_sd/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

if you used usb drive instead of sdcard, change "external_sd" to "usb_storage"

Once this is done, you can get the OTA to 1.141.07

PS. My sincere apologies to thor, this is all a bit off topic. don't shoot me, please..
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Couple of questions about 1.3.2

This one is just a curiosity:

I know that if a USB drive exists, it gets mounted as /sdcard instead of the micro. Is there no way to mount both at once? I've tried unmounting /sdcard and mounting USB storage, but get "E:Unalbe to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).

This is a potential bug:

At one point, I got stuck in the Mounts and Storage menu w/o the option of "++++ Go Back+++". The last option in the list was "mount USB storage". After doing a mount or unmount on something, I then got the "Go Back" option, but it would send me back to "mounts and storage" list w/o the "go back" option again. Eventually had to force shutdown to get out of it.

Is there a way to turn on adb while in CWM? I know at one point, adb was active in CWM, but it's not in this version (i understand why), but I can't find an option to turn it on.

Thanks,

EB
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
your own fault trying to bypass the priority system on the mounts...

second adb is enabled and works... you have to uninstall the adb interface in windows and it will be reinstalled then it works... its a windows problem...

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Cool. Ill try to get it added to the app tonight.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Another possible bug, but could just be my USB key.

I have PRIMEE p8 installed and setup just like I want. So I tried to do a full backup in cwm to my 32g USB key. It did fine until it got to the data partition. Then gave an error "failed to backup data image" (not an exact quote). Immediately tried again and it fails on backing up boot partition. Rebooted cwm. Same thing.. fails backing up data then fails backing up boot if I try it again.

Removed USB key and tried again with micro. All fine. Got a full backup.

USB key is a Lexmark 32g...fat32... with 24g free.

Ill have to try it with a different USB drive to see if the problem is consistent.
[Acer Iconia A500] carbonad:
First I would like to thanks the devs that make this possible. I'm running 1.3.2 installed by Acer Recovery Installer.

[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
have no idea I'm still downloading it... I suggest you wait one of the rom "gurus" to release something... its still a Chinese rom so no market among other things...
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
The 3.1 Rom is Not Chinese and have all the Google programs!
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Still has new Kernel. Root has confirmed not to work with gingerbreak. Although there is a modified one people are testing. Itsmagic is not confirmed working. Which means if you flash this it breaks your cwm and you may not be able to get back if itsmagic is not working. Thor is just being cautious please dont excite people when there are uncertainties with root and other things.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
Yes! You are right that there are uncertainties but still I was only refering to the fact that the 3.1 released today is mutilanguage and have Google's apps!

I flashed it and for the time beeing I'm happy.

so to all:

BE WARNED THAT TO THIS MOMENT THERE IS NO ROOT AND NO CWM FOR IT!

you can enable formatting its written in the first post how to... but you will loose anything stored on the tablet...
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
This part just doesn't sound right at all. You don't copy the image file to /dev/block. The easiest way is to installed "Acer Recovery Intsaller" from the market and it will install the 1.3.3 version for you. (See OP for market link)
