Can anybody please share the recovery.img or full backup for Acer_A500_1.016.01_COM_GEN1 (I suspect this was my original version) or

Acer_A500_1.139.02_COM_GEN1 (my firmware after the latest update)

Please specify which version you provide.

Check your versiom in About tablet > Build number.

Your help would be really appreciated
[Acer Iconia A500] mobile mouse:
did you get what you needed ? i have 1.139.04_com_gen1 if it helps ? i am in New Zealand if that makes a difference ??? regards..
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Thanks, please share it.
[Acer Iconia A500] plemme61:
I was running 1.139.05 will that build be ok for me and if so can you share please??
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
1.139.04_COM_GEN1 was my latest revision before starting customfirmwareinstall

I would like got this one from a stock A500 mobile mouse please share it if you can:D

bec07 can you post in first post how to do a .img for the one who doesn t know but willing to share :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
It should be in micro sd/clockwork mod/[backup date]/recovery.img

You can put it on the root of the micro sd and acer recovery installer will pick it up.

But, does anybody know where acer recovery installer creates the backup of the original recovery.img when flashing clockwork mod?
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:

[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Nice to have you back.

data/data/com.interphaze..

So, don't you happen to have an original backup?
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
my last backup is 1.141.05_COM_GEN1 with original recovery , boot , system and flexrom I can upload it but why do you what to go back to that ugly slow rom?

when 3.1 official comes it can easily converted for cwm...
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
This is awkward, my latest OTA update is Acer_A500_1.139.02_COM_GEN1 and System update claims it's the latest.

I don't want to go back but I want to know I can have the tablet back to stock with default OTA working.

When I started playing with CWM on my galaxy S, naturally I went custom without asking any questions - carrier updates will always blow.

But the latest leaks from samsung are so good I don't bother with custom roms anymore.

Since iconia is not branded I believe in due time the default experience will be great.

So when that time comes or if I'll sell it I want the software to be like new.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
whell your problem is 139.02... havent seen an update from that version... even on mine I was stuck at 1.139.05 and downloaded update from here

Acer_A500_1.139.05_1.141.05_COM_GEN1

what's the last version depends on the country it seams...

edit: you have pm with my backup
[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
Wouldn't it be good to maybe upload this for people who didn't backup and read the steps when installing custom roms just an idea :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] sto88:
Please... Can you give me your backup in pm? I want to go back at the original stock version with *.05 ... Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie_dude:
Hello all,

I just got a Gtablet. I have brought it for my parents, who are not too tech-savvy, so I would like to set it up well for them.

I mainly want to use GTab to chat with them using webcam. Could any of you suggest an app that actually works and also if required, what custom ROM should I install to get that app (as I understand the stock ROM doesn't provide access to any app) ?

I went through a lot of threads here, which talk about video chat using vtok, qik, yahoo messenger, but couldn't find a conclusive answer for my question or something which I could understand and then implement easily. So, posting here.

Thanks all and have a nice long weekend in advance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exquisitus:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie_dude:
Goodintentions, does this work for doing video chat from Gtab to pc successfully ? If this works, instead of spending 200 bucks more for getting a xoom, I would just root this device and install this app. Let me know if you have done it successfully and with which ROM ? If possible, let me know asap, because, if I need to get the tablet before my parents leave for abroad, I will have to order today itself to be delivered. Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I've tested it with several roms. In fact ill test it again later tonite when I get home. Will confirm.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie_dude:
Did you test it ?

Hey buddy, did you test it? Could you share the conclusion asap ? Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starfltcdrjr:
I've gotten Yahoo to work between pc and gtab and VTok (3rd party google vid) but both kinda suck and are a bit of a pain to get to work (vegan5)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie_dude:
Do you mean they suck in terms of quality or they suck because of complicated installation ?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
They suck because its not a very good camera. You need to have good lightings. Get the asus transformer if you want better cameras.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
Yahoo Messenger video does not with CM7.03 stable, however I've heard it does work on other roms.

Personally, I've found Yahoo's PC app to be terrible, and when trying to chat with a Nexus S, he couldn't get it off the rear camera. PITA.

I haven't had time to try yet, but I like the idea of Oovoo's video chat. Lets you video with up to 3 people simultaneously for free. Supposedly a version floating around here that works with the Gtab, however again this doesn't work Cyanogen roms that I've tried. :/

The new Skype 2.0 would be great, however it requires Gingerbread in order to use the native camera API. Since we don't have an official Gingerbread port, the GB roms lack the native camera drivers making the API useless. :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] milo021:
INTRO (if lazy, look below)

Ok, so, stuck on STOCK i-9000 (2.2.1).

Battery has drained completely, phone went off, I've recharged it, and upon that phone won't boot pass the "S" logo.

However, I can access the recovery menu, and am even willing to do factory reset, but reluctant because of the "wipe data" attached to it...

My main goal is to keep the data, regardless of operation needed (flashing, etc.)

___________________

The ACTUAL QUESTION:

Is there a way to do the factory reset from recovery menu, BUT keeping the SD data (photos, files...)?

Any method or advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Crysis21:
factory reset will never delete your data from the sd card. so you can do it without problems. If it doesn't work, do not flash a rom with odin. flash a rom with CWM, because from CWM the data won;'t get lost.

Is this clear? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] allotrios:
YES!

Factory reset will not wipe the SD. Just your apps and app data.

You can even avoid that by installing a custom froyo kernel and backing up data from recovery, then doing the factory reset / flash new rom, then restore data.

Hope this helps.

[LG Optimus 2x] nrkabul:
Hi,

after spending some fruitless hours trying to get better GPS performance from my p990 (cm7 nightly 60-64, baseband 0218, cm7 RIL), trying various tweaks to gps_brcm_conf.xml and even older versions of glgps, I've concluded (tentatively) that

- /data/gps/lto.dat is a file (containing ephemerals?) that's used for A-GPS

- my setup never manages to download this file.

Following this thread of thought, I tried the following (The URL is from a google search while I was digging about in gps_brcm_conf):

adb shell
cd /data/gps
wget http://gllto.glpals.com/7day/latest/lto.dat
chmod 777 lto.dat

I also did

rm gldata.sto

to remove (I think) stored orbital data from previous fixes to try to keep the results comparable.

Though measuring GPS performance is difficult due to constantly changing constellations and atmospheric conditions, I think this has made a difference in time-to-fix for me. Admittedly this might just be a placebo, so no guarantees.

If anyone wants to try this and post their results, it'd be great. And, if anyone knows anything about lto.dat, why its needed, and why it never gets downloaded, please post here so I won't be kept awake at night wondering :P
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It might be that the Tegra2 setup doesn't use it, much like gps.conf.

Best bet would be to ask RC I suppose, although he's a bit tied up with some GPL stuff apparently.
[LG Optimus 2x] nrkabul:
It's referred to in gps_brcm_conf.xml (the chip-specific config file), so I've assumed it's relevant to our setup. But yeah, it's possible.

Yeah, I'll hold off on that a bit.

Would be interesting to know if anyone actually has that file in /data/gps. I'll try to find time for a restore to stock (or at least modaco) to see if it gets downloaded in the standard setup. We'll see.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
don´t have it on cm .64 either ...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Just created the missing file, and got a lock from stone cold, indoors pretty fast. Did that file help? Dunno lol

Will have to test more.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
OK... here is my extremely unscientific test...

GPS Status without lto.dat: 43 seconds to lock.

GPS Status with lto.dat: 19 seconds to lock.

aGPS data was cleared before each test. Interesting, but far from conclusive.
[LG Optimus 2x] .:george:.:
Whooo! This is amazing!

Tried to lock inside without lto.dat, no luck at all after 70+ seconds... Copied the file into /data/gps, tested the same spot and got lock after cca 10 seconds!

This is amazing :D
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
This might be of interest then: http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/tb/LTO-TB100-R.pdf
[LG Optimus 2x] aremcee:
Good find. That file basically holds an analog to XTRA data; It doesn't quite help picking up satellites, but it makes locking onto them a hell of a lot faster once they're found.
[LG Optimus 2x] nrkabul:
Ah. Yes, that explains it nicely. Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] nrkabul:
Indeed. That matches what I've observed.

Any idea why the download doesn't happen?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Download will happen for the next nightly, this is going to please a lot of people; top bombing.
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
This is truly awesome, hope it might have some small influence on apps keeping gps alive when screen is turned of too... Maybe a little too much to wish for, but..

Thanks send to nrkabul :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It wont, that's just how Android works... my stock N1 was the same.

Endomondo excepted, that should be able to hold a lock, but doesn't. Run Keeper does it fine though.
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
I had stock rom, Gilgamesh and the first one WGLpoelstra posted, and Endomondo worked flawlesly on those roms, dont know what happened to GPS since then, but on CM7 i have to use My Tracks in the background to make sure that Endo records track.. Havent heard about keeper before, will check it out :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] nrkabul:
Ah, quick work by arcee. I'd already cobbled together an app to do it for me, but this will be a lot better. Fingers crossed for a usable GPS :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ranrick:
another workarround: Install this https://market.android.com/details?id=net.canaryx.gpsaids&feature=search_result

and download lto file. open root explorer /data/gps and rename lto2.dat into lto.dat
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's a pain, and odd the Endomondo can't do it, when others can. If they all couldn't it would be an obvious problem, but when it's just that one (the one I happen to use at that) it's frustrating.

Still, as you've noticed, there is a work around, this might be less hassle than having My Tracks going though: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kaukovuo.android.trackerbooster
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
lto.dat works great for me !!

got a fix in my car in about 5 sec, some seconds later got 10 satelites fixed !

GPS works like it did on MCR Rom for me now !

great discovery !
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
I tried that app, and it didnt work for me, thats why i use My Tracks..

Besides the motherboard, all parts are for sale.

Currently I have:

1. Genuine Battery ($15)

2. Battery Cover ($10)

[HD2 General] richteralan:
sorry mine is completely died no matter what I try.
[HD2 General] richteralan:
The LCD is fine but from some where I read HD2's LCD and digitizer are difficult to disassemble.

And of course I have to take off camera/GPS board too.

If you know a way to disassemble LCD from digitizer, let me know.
[HD2 General] jianC:
Use hair dryer to heat lcd/digitizer for 5 minutes continuously, OR, a more safer/foolproof way is to stick it in an oven at 60C for 5 minutes..

If you stick the assembly in an oven, its guaranteed to come apart easily and melt the tape.
[HD2 General] richteralan:
I think I am just going to sell the digitizer/LCD part as a whole.

Includes

Working:

Camera module

GPS board

LCD Screen

Vibration motor

Non-working:

Digitizer

If you are interested please PM me for price.

It is possible, I tried the app Blueputdroid, you guys can too, there's pro and free ads/noads im guessing, but even on the free if you have adfree enabled and your hosts have been changed, the app refuses to start up, so someone who HASNT used adfree can try it and tell us.

Hey guys :D

I've already rooted my LG Optimus V, and installed the ASOP Rom.

Alright, so Virgin Mobile uses Sprint towers right? (I've already done the research), Well, Sprint SUCKS!!!! Where I live, I get drop calls day and night, its so bad probably 7 out of 10 calls are dropped:mad:

Well, before I got my Android phone, I previously had Straight Talk as my carrier, and lets face it, $45 bucks a month, unlimited internet (although the web browser was useless), and NO DROPPED CALLS, was the best way to go, until I found the Android phone for the same price :D

Well I'm wondering if anyone has actually TRIED to somehow migrate from virgin mobile to Straight Talk, and if so, would I still get the 3G data use? I know I would still get the internet part, but I'm wondering if the 3G speed would be available? Is it worth doing?

Thanks guys!

I got back on here to find another one and soooo much has changed and my head is spinning a little bit. I just would like to know how I should go about doing it the right way. Like do I need to delete my current ROM? If so how do I go about doing that? I have the right radio and hspl already but I am kind of at a stand still cause I dont know what are the right steps to make it work right.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Firstly, you didnt flash it about a year ago as MAGLDR has only been out for 6 months. Are you sure you are using a NAND rom or booting from SD?

IF you are using MAGLDR, All you need to do is download the HD2 NAND toolkit from NAND sticky topic and then task29 your device, reflash MAGLDR, then install the appropriate recovery for the rom you want to use (unless it comes with its own recovery flasher). After that you just boot into recovery and flash your rom.

If you tell us the specific rom you want to try we can give you a step by step.
