Flash EB13, then EC05 modem....
[Epic 4G General] mark8503:
Why are you doing OTA update?

Just use odin to flash ec05 tar, then one click root w clockwork.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Agreed, you're taking an unnecessary step there.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Hopefully you make sure re-partition isn't checked when you use odin 1.81. Unfortunately I went to install cwm as well, and forgot about the auto checking re-partition.. Luckily I didn't brick but it seems I can no longer install anything via flashing, just through odin.

personally i found it easier to statically assign the IP configuration information for the 2 networks I use, plus my version wasn't listed for the patch anyway. I also renamed the files in /data/misc/dhcp/ to correct the issue where stuck on assigning IP address in wireless connection (where it basically repeatedly attempts to get an IP address)

[Acer Iconia A500] mandel4026:
I got the 3.1 OTA update today. Could not connect to WiFi after installation. Did the paperclip reset routine a few times but no luck.

Considered installing this patch but noticed it was not for my build and had second thoughts. But I installed it anyway and after a reboot, my WiFi was working again.

I'm guessing that Acer's list of supported builds is not all-inclusive. If your Wifi stopped working after the HC 3.1 update try using the patch posted above.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibcrusn:
Well, I'm in the boat as many of you. The download came in at just after midnight local and after 90% of the install messed up the wifi. I downloaded the patch and tried to install it multiple times with no change in the ability to connect. The tab will see all the networks in my area but it gets into a loop cycle trying to connect and after a minute or so will disable the wifi. I even went so far as to go through the factory reset process and install the patch afterwards with no luck.

At this point it's nothing more than a fancy color reader. Is there a way to re-flash the entire OS with the original Acer version? I have been rooted but don't have a desire to flash any custom ROMs yet. If this is not possible it'll have to go back to Acer and who knows how long that will take....just in time for my trip next month.

Just to err on the safe side it is a US tablet living the Middle East, not that it should matter.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There are plenty of stock ROM's in the dev section you can flash with. Their threads are clearly labelled as such.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibcrusn:
Well, I went through the level 1 gauntlet at Acer and they have passed me off to a level 2. I don't have high expectations but it will be a PITA to call considering my hours and my location.

I already have the update "Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1" showing for download.

Does this one include the wifi fix?

(I have no interest in updating from 3.01 to 3.1 becasue of the wifi problem, so if it's not fixed, I'll stay as I am.)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Yes, it does.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Thanks for that - I might let it update now..
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
fist of all this is not the problem that's supposed to be fixed by the patch. your problem is more simple, check or reenter the wifi password. because it is normal for wifi connection to be removed if it cannot connect to it because of the luck of the password. also make sure your router is supporting wpa/tsk or wpa2/tsk.

because i think that has changed since 3.01 wich also supported WEP, which might not be the case anymore.

the problem people have is that the dhcp is not working after the password is entered. i.e. it dispalys waiting for IP, and never gets it, but it does not remove any networks from the list.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibcrusn:
I've been down that path and reentered the password at least a half a dozen times. Up until the most recent update that was pushed was 90% installed and then stalled out out I have had no issues on this network or others.

Your second statement more closely matches the issue that I'm having.
[Acer Iconia A500] mandel4026:
Not happy with Acer. Those of us who use this forum may be able to apply patches to correct problems caused by their upgrades, but think how many people have lost all connectivity when they applied the 3.1 update.

How is it possible that Acer, which has been working on update issues for a month or more, pushes an update that takes out our wireless connection? And why do the users have to assume the burden of solving the problem, locating the patch and applying it?

Doesn't the company test their upgrade before pushing it out? Were they not aware of the havoc it caused?

I like my tablet a lot, but the Acer customer experience is frustrating and hard to understand.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibcrusn:
I was able to speak with Karen a level 2 tech rep and we went through a few easy steps and it seems ot have fixed my issue.

begin with the tablet turned off

- press and hold the volume up button (I assume it must be in landscape because she stated it was the button closest the rotation lock)

- press and hold the power button until the light comes on, continue holding the volume button

- as soon as the tablet vibrates begin flipping the rotation lock back and forth as quickly as you can until you see small words in the upper left corner. I had to do this twice because I didn't flip it fast enough.

- once the words appear (erasing cache and such) you can stop switching the rotation lock and let off the volume button.

- It will do its thing and reboot to the original home screen

I had already tried a factory reset but she made it sound as though this would completely reset the tablet and wipe everything. At any rate it seems to have worked. I'm going to try and re-download 4.010.10, root it, re-install Titanium Pro and re-install all my apps and I'm back in business

Give it a try and see if it works.
[Acer Iconia A500] Pittek:
Well, my Iconia runs Virtuous Xoom 1.1.2 (based on Android 3.2) and i have (and had with all other ROMs incl. stock original) problems with wifi reception.

Reception is always lower than on my HTC Desire.

will this patch work with my ROM version?

does it update the flex ROM or just some system files(in Flexrom case restoring a NAND backup will not bring my old drivers back, right?)

is reception also adressed or is it only for general connection problems?

I never had any connection problems, its just the bad signal strength that is annoying me...

Cheers,

Peter
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
This patch is for ACER ROM's only. Don't bother trying to apply it to your custom ROM. It will not work, and could potentially break your ROM.

Never ever EVER apply manufacturer ROM patches to anything except a stock ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] The_Monkey_King:
Like I responded to in another similar thread, there is another way to fix this issue after the 3.1 update: hardware reset.

Have the system on, then poke the hardware reset button with something small like a paperclip point. Then after it resets, do it again.

It worked for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
I had the problem a day after I got the OTA 3.1 update. My device was still stock, and running 4.010.11_COM_GEN2.

I manually deleted the files in /data/misc/dhcp/* and it immediately fixed it (no reboot required.) It hasn't recurred since then. I wonder if perhaps the DHCP file had the wrong permissions prior to the update, and it couldn't overwrite it? Who knows, I didn't look that close.
[Acer Iconia A500] firebelly:
can you elaborate how you were able to delete the files. Did you root it first because I don't see how you can do it otherwise?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakemazer:
Two times now, once before, and once after flashing a new rom, I have been stuck in a recovery boot loop when I select "reboot recovery" from the advanced menu in CWM.

When I "reboot system now" the tablet magically goes back into CWM recovery. Without any keys being held, I see the message "Booting recovery kernal image" on the Viewsonic Birds screen.

Is "Reboot Recovery" a fatally flawed menu option in CWM?

More importantly, can I recover the tablet short of an NVflash (which is how I recovered the first time)?

I've tried holding down power+volumeup. I have run a keytest as well, all keys work. I feel like there must be a simple way to stop the tablet from rebooting into recovery? WTHelp?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jms7465:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2k-inc:
You can go back into the CWM recovery menu and try to "Fix permission", if that doesn't work, "Clear Cache/User Data", if that stilll do not work?

Repartition 2048/0 and then mount USB, load the ROM and reboot

simpler?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tincansailor:
I have the clockwork mod recovery loop. Going from 4349 to Flashback. None of the above mentioned suggestions have worked. I am not ready to try NVFlash yet as I >think< that SD card issues could really screw the Gtab if I might have one of "those" sd cards installed.. The ROM loads just fine, but reboot system just goes back into CWM recovery.

Help!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Try erasing the "misc" partitition (or the "bootbmp" partition as need be) as described here.

Do the same for the "cache" partition.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexbug:
Interesting. I have not seen this problem, however I seem to have the opposite! Selecting "Reboot Recovery" either from Quickboot or the system shutdown menu (when I press the power button), just reboots normally. It will not boot into recovery. The only way I am able to get into clockwork anymore is to do a reboot and hold down the volume+ key. Everything else works normally though. I wonder if there will be any updates to CWM. Do you think this is a bug in CWM or something flakey going on w/ the G-Tab?

hey guys,

I really need your Help!

I've flashed Trips Froyo Miui 1.7 ROM.. so far so good everyting worked great. Then I wanted to flash Z's zKernel but it didn't work, so I tried FreeKernel mod 3.60, but it also didn't work.

When I wanted to reboot phone after flashing FreeKernel it didn't boot up custom Kernel and after booting up the sytem I recogniced that I don't get a signal and sd- card doesn't mount. So I rebooted phone and hoped that everyting would work, but it didn't. So I turned off phone and wanted to restore a working rom via xrecovery, but I sadly had to notice that I can't boot into recovery anymore.

So when I boot up phone it always shows "Prozess system doesn't react" or something like that.

I really don't know what I can do now, so please help me!

Hi folks,

I bought the Acer Dockingstation for the A500/A501 and it doesn´t seem to work

correctly. I already got a replacement unit which shows exactly the same problems as the first one.

Here is what I tried:

I connected the Dockingstation with the Power Supply of the A501. When docking the tablet, Nemo Player starts as it should and the tablet begins charging. Headphone out on the Dock works as well without a problems.

What doesn´t work and makes the Dock mostly worthless to me is the Remote feature.

The tablet does nothing when I press keys on the remote, neither in Nemo Player nor

Switching on/off the tablet.

I checked the remote with a camera, it´s working and sends out beams of light. I suppose the problem is the Dockingstation.

Should there be a power indicator light showing the Dock is connected to Power? Above the Power sign on the Dock there seems to be a LED.

What I also recognized is that there is a high sound when connecting the power supply to the Dock which does not exist when connecting the tablet directly to the power supply.

Can anyone help me on this topic? I´m especially interested in the Power LED should there be one lighting up, when the Dock is connected to Power?

Thanks in advance for you help

[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
https://motorola-global-en-aus.cust...one-xt720---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset

You can get to the triangle screen, but you can't do the volume up+gallery down+tap camera step? Is your volume button completely broken or just mostly broken? The Motorola recovery will let you try repeatedly to get in. You can keep trying until you need to recharge. You just have to get in once... So if your volume up works 1/100 tries you can easily try 100 times very quickly in Motorola recovery... Just to be clear: to get past the triangle screen you need to hold down gallery and volume up and while holding them down you have to tap the camera shutter. So hold down the gallery and try holding the volume up different ways while repeatedly tapping the shutter until you get in. Once you're in do a factory reset (Motorola recovery uses gallery key instead of camera to select).

If that doesn't work... regarding RSD: there are two flavors of sbf. A "service" sbf doesn't leaves the /data partition untouched. So, depending on which flavor of sbf you've been using, your data partition may not be being erased when you flash SBF. /data is CG37. /cache is CG40. See if your sbf includes those. Actually according to http://and-developers.com/partitions:cdt there's a good chance that CG37 and CG40 aren't signed. So, you may be able to create a "factory reset" SBF that only contains CG37 and CG40 from a nandroid backup if you have one. I don't know how to do that though. Just and idea.
[Milestone XT720 General] leuleu9x:
Do you compress CG37 and CG40 to a ***.sbf and sent it to me, please?

[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
