Thanks, I will give that a try. It seems to stop at kernel recovery image. I wasn't sure if I had the wrong kernel or something..

I will uninstall/reinstall Acer Recovery.

edit: installed/ reinstalled Acer recovery and that didn't work..
[Acer Iconia A500] kibblenbits:
I got some help from kjy2010:

When you install acery recovery, you then have to tick the radio button that says "clockwork recover rev 1.34" then click "install recovery image" that installs cwm as your recovery package rather than the stock Acer recovery that you've been experiencing.

It worked!! Thanks kjy2010!!

Saw update notification today. From Squid logs, this is the URL Tablet is hitting to download the update:

Not sure, why you are getting that error. URL works for me. HTTP headers are:

Ahh that's an older build than the one posted in this thread, never mind, and thanks ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] NetfreakBombay:
Funny thing is, tablet was not able to download this zip even after 4 - 5 attempts.

Ended up:

1. Downloading on my PC, and keeping it on Apache's root

2. Changed /etc/hosts on tablet so that cdn.acer.futuredial.com points to IP of this PC

That seems to have done the trick. Tablet rebooted and now updated is in progress (android icon + opened box + progress bar on screen)

How to validate which one is newer?

Firmware posted on this thread has version : 1.139.04

Firmware that I got has version 1.141.07

my mistake, and I apologize, it seems as though you are correct. finally got it to start d/l. TY ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] rayfin:
I downloaded the .zip from the OP on this thread. I was about to flash it then I saw the last few pages here talking about an even newer one...

I can't get the d'l to work as you mentioned, an XML error. Trying to get it from my laptop though and not my tablet.

So, is the version recently mentioned newer than the OP for USA? And if so, is it a full ROM or just a patch? And lastly, how did you get past the XML error?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
full rom, and i just kept trying and got lucky lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
a few posts up, the provided link is for version 4.010.11_COM_GEN1

and the OP posted 4.010.40_COM_GEN1

how does that makes 4.010.11_COM_GEN1 newer ?? :confused::confused:

just because the starting version is higher ??

1.141.07 as opposed to 1.139.04 ?? :confused::confused:

There is something wrong with that theory there... I'm betting on the ending number (

4.010.40_COM_GEN1

) to be newer ! :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
That's what I thought too Uni. Apparently someone said that the first set of numbers are the firmware version??

I can't confirm that, and Acer has gone to really messing up their update file names, so at this point, it's anyone's guess?!?:confused:

On this subject ALONE ( UPDATES craps ).... They have been pissing me off ever since the beginning !! :mad:

I've never seen any company doing such a dis-orderly roll out before ! EVER !!!

take a look around the forum !! their PDF files suggested there should be at max 3 files that covered all regions of the World ( section A/B/C )... yet, How many different numbers of updates can you really see ??

The thread that Vache posted only covered a portion...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113878

..there are others out there... You are not alone when it comes to confusion... I am not only confused... but also pissed ! :mad:

and to think.... I have a general knowledge of what's to do when it comes to Android and custom rom/flashing...etc. What would this do to the average users that are out there and the potential of customers that could really be pissed !!

Just imagine conveying all these confusing information when you are in one of their support chat session... oh wait....

WHAT SUPPORTS ??

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Acer --->>> FAILED !!

I love my Iconia... but as Acer goes... I won't be a repeat customer...that's for SURE ! :mad:

Alrighty then... I am in Canada.... assuming that means I go along with whatever the US gets ( US region )... what is the latest build numbers ?? ( .13 ? )GEN 2 correct ??

if I get the .11 ( full rom )... then OTA to .13 will be natural ?

Thanks ;)

P.s.

.11 is GEN_1 and .13 is GEN_2 ?? WTF Acer !!

Flashed this ROM (4.10.40) few hours ago and everything looks good.

Photo Browser 3D Problem

I have found that the apk has been posted on this thread.

Don't know if it will solve the issue. As for me, I prefer waiting for an official update.

I wonder if it's a common issue... Is there someone who has a working "Photo Browser 3D" on this build ?
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
Check With Gallery application that you don't have pictures folder without a name and black (no thumbs), if you have one, you need to delete it for Photo Browser 3D to work. I found myself in the same situation after switching roms and I fixed deleting the corrupted folders. Now is working again without problems. by the way deleting the corrupted folder from inside the Gallery application didn't delete any folder in my Pictures folder, so is must be something inside the gallery application. Clean data for Gallery and Photo Browser 3D didn't help, I already tried this. The only fix is to delete the offending folder from inside Gallery.

Hope it helps you.
[Acer Iconia A500] gsabz:
Photo Browser 3D Problem --> solved

Kekinash, thanks a lot, it solved my problem.

I checked the gallery, found one black folder with no name (with some empty items inside), deleted it directly on the gallery.

And guess what ? Photo browser 3D is running again without problem. :)

Thumbs up for you ! I'm sure this will help a lot of users.
[Acer Iconia A500] gbyrne2011:
Hey all, I was wondering if you could answer me something. Yes I made a huge mistake of installing a custom rom for my Acer A500, and wiping the drive of the backup. I need to return the device to warrenty because of two dad pixels. With the file above, will this return me to the stock for Ireland?

Much appriciated for your answers :)
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
the warranty cover 2 dead pixels ?

here in thailand you need 4 dead pixels....

check my signature.

go to folder firmware,

download 0.000.00_1.016.01_COM_GEN1

download 1.016.01_1.039.04_COM_GEN1 *** can produce an error when you try to update it, skip it seems to works without

download 1.039.04_4.010.40_COM_GEN1

go to folder utilities

download xor.exe

download acer update decrypt.exe

go to folder apk

download Gingerbreak-v1.20.apk

download iconiaroot-1.3.apk

then you are nearly ready.

normally you have already a rooted and clockworked device since you have a custom rom.

so

decrypt the first file downloaded, put the update.zip onto your sdcard and restart in recovery mode

install the update

then you are back on 3.0.1 HC...

factory reset your tablet

then

install Gingerbreak apk, follow the instruction to root your tablet

then

install again Acer Recovery to get the clockwork recovery

decrypt the second file and put the update zip in your sdcard

restart again in recovery mode

install the update.zip

now decrypt the last firmware update

put on your sdcard

restart AGAIN your tablet in recovery and install this last update.zip

then....

FACTORY RESET

you should be returned to stock

A huge serious thank you from me mate. Will do as order :DD
[Acer Iconia A500] gbyrne2011:

[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
hummm weird... because it's exactly how I did when I recocered my tablet

try download the step2.update.zip

it's a decrypted full firmware but I can't remember what is the version exactly***

can you send me your build.prop file please, take a root explorer, go to system/

then you should see

build.prop

and build.prop.bak (maybe)

copy both of them and upload them somewhere

I would like to see if it's something missing inside. making the SHA1 wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] KennyNair:
if your 1.139.04_4.010.40 file is abt 377+- mb, then u can just well install over. cos it's full installation.

that means u can skip step 2 of the update.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
So long time I didn't update my tablet that I forgot what are the steps exactly hahah

but yes give a try. I thought so

else I am uploading 2 others files

already decrypted.

I think the step1.update.zip will bring you to 4.010.24 then you can get the 4.010.24 to 4.010.40
[Acer Iconia A500] gbyrne2011:
I skiped firmware 2 and the tablet is back to 3.1 and fast again. This would be stock correct?

Thank you both for your help it was really needed :)
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
you took the 0.000.00 to 1.016.01

and the 1.139.04 to 4.010.40

and it's ok ?
[Acer Iconia A500] gbyrne2011:
Yep, it's working anyway with no flaws that i can see anyhow. Should be stock and back under warrenty, Will find out when I send it off for repair.. gulp, lol
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
normally you should be under stock sure, but if you are in dublin your version should be 4.010.38 (if I am not wrong) and not 4.010.40 but anyway it's stock firmware so.

and Acer is not another fruit company who scared to get their devices modded...

in thailand they provided even how to return to stock method :D

and load bunch of useless application when you buy :D
[Acer Iconia A500] haksam:
thanks so much for this file, had problems removing root, iconiaroot's unroot doesn't delete superuser.apk for some odd reason (superuser even ask whether to allow unroot to run and uninstall superuser, I had to lol at this part)

a factory reset DOES NOT remove superuser.apk either.

flashing this update.zip file with Acer's download mode (vol-/power) will permanently remove everything and restore to factory.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonicmax2k2:
Hi all,

So I'm curious is there is a program that will work as a webtop for my Atrix. I have a Windows 7 PC and don't want to spring for the webtop hardware, but would love to be able to plug my phone into my laptop and use it like the webtop. Does such a thing exist? I've been through the webtop search results and haven't seen anything like it.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shikyo:
The webtop hardware is just a keyboard and monitor that you plug into your phone to make it look like a laptop. It runs Firefox off your phone so you can get the "full" web experience without lugging around a full sized laptop. So no, its not a software thing you can do. And why would you? if you have a laptop right there use that to browse the web.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonicmax2k2:
True, but the phone features on the computer are kind of handy. It may not be the most practical thing to have, but if its out there, that would be nifty!

+1 for first response though :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
the entire webtop OS is contained within your phone. the only way to enable it is to connect an external HDMI display to it, and no, your laptop is not an external HDMI display. you MUST use a monitor, TV or other device made to display HDMI input signals.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonicmax2k2:
Awesome, thank you!

[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
Oh no. The last time I looked, the version available through rom manager was 1.26, the current version is 1.29 (released 7/18). I ran 1.26 without formatting my SD card also. You may have gotten a bad flash. I would try downloading the newest VU from their websites and flashing again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
How are you trying to flash it... via recovery or via the bootloader? Make sure the version you have is flashed accordingly. If it's via recovery, what recovery are you using? If it is ClockworkMod, switch over to amonRA v2.3 and then give it a try.

Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
If it is the version to be flashed via recovery, all you have to do is reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the zip. You will see a screen different than the recovery screen? Do not panic and whatever you do, do not pull the battery. When it finishes, you will be returned to the recovery screen and see the words, clearing cache or something to that effect. At that point, the process is complete. Just select reboot.

Hi,

I've tried to port Xperia X10 rom on Desire with AndroidKitchen, and installed it on my phone.

It boots, I can see the SE lockscreen.

What works :

-trackball

-notification LED

-power button

-power off menu (silent mode, airplane mode...)

What doesn't work :

touchscreen (due to lack of multitouch driver, I think)

WiFi (untested, should work with fixed radio)

Bluetooth (untested, should work with fixed radio)

SD Card

Fixed things :

Radio/baseband

After some time, there's a weird noise, and the device reboots.

Many things untested, as I can't unlock screen...

Could a talented dev take the project over, and make that rom working for the Desire please ?

Thanks !

Download link below

UPDATE 24/7 :

Fixed radio. SIM card is read now.

To fix radio :

-flash the latest radio via fastboot (radio.img inside zip) : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

- flash latest RIL via recovery (flashable zip) :

32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23_RIL

- Put this build.prop into /system (remove included one first) :

Hey Reaper, how goes my friend! Every one I've had have rattled, every demo I've looked at also! Sprint won't start cracking them open until the 30 day mark, right around July 22. Hopefully they can do something about it. It's not that big of a deal, unless in your case it gets worse, but it is annoying...$600 device shouldn't rattle, still lovin the device though!
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
How's it going bud long time :D hope your doing good. Ya I love my phone just that rattle makes it feel like a China product nothin USA made anymore :( love the phone tho better then my og EVO that I miss still lol this phone is sexy as can be even with the rattle . Hope they get a fix out would suck if they give a refurbished unit for a phone u had less then a month brand new .

No other issues beside s that you can shake ur phone slightly and you will here the rattle folks . Just like Apollo said . :D thanks man hope your doing good mayne.

I just got my third one today. I think I finally have a keeper. First one was perfect, but no 3g reception. Not a hint of rattle. Second one sounded like a baby on meth shaking a rattle. Third one... somewhere in the middle of the first two. My noise originates from the play in the 2D/3D switch and not the shutter as others have stated.
