I stopped by a store and rooted the floor model and took a few dumps (specimens) to look at. When I have time, i'll go back and see if i can write the A500 bootloader & cwm and see if it'll still boot....lol

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Interesting... The first 1mb of mmcblk0 is all 00's.

And it seems that mmcblk_start is bigger than on the a500. I'll need to go bet a bigger dump to see where it leads into the recovery partition..

unless someone here can dump it for me.

can someone run this dd for me and send me the dump. It's about 10MB?

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=start.img count=20000

specifically, i'm looking for where it crosses over into mmcblk0p1 (recovery), which starts with:

4e41 5244 494f 2144 023c 002d 8000 1000
a931 0007 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 10f0

Dangit.. that still wasn't big enough.. would you mind doing it again, but bigger?

This one is about 40mb..

I've notice that the recovery partition is also larger.. on the 500 it's 5MB and on the A100 it's 6MB.

Thanks again...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
I am doing it for selfish reasons. I want a recovery. :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Euclid's Brother:
Cool.. i found where mmcblk_start ends and recovery (mmcblk0p1) starts.

A100 mmcblk_start size is 22528 blocks * 512 = 11mb

A500 mmcblk_start size is 13312 blocks * 512 = 6mb

mmcblk structures.. i'm not sure what the exact layout of these are, but here's a look at it..

A100 - mmcblk_start

0000000 - 00fffff = 00's
0100000 - 0100fff = data/code?
0101000 - 02fffff = 00's
0300000 - 04fffff = structured data (partition table?)
0500000 - 05a9b3f = data/code?
05a9b40 - 05a9fff = FF's
05aa000 - 0afffff = 00's

A500 - mmcblk_start

0000000 - 0000fef = data/code?
0000ff0 - 0000fff = FF's
0001000 - 003ffff = 00's
0040000 - 0040fef = data/code?
0040ff0 - 0040fff = FF's
0041000 - 007ffff = 00's
0080000 - 0080fdf = data/code?
0080ff0 - 0080fff = FF's
0081000 - 00bffff = 00's
00c0000 - 00c0fef = data/code?
00c0ff0 - 00c0fff = FF's
00c1000 - 00fffff = 00's
0100000 - 017ffff = structured data (partition table?)
0180000 - 022efff = data/code?
022f000 - 067ffff = 00's

I've confirmed that mmcblk_start is 5mb bigger and recovery is 1mb bigger. I'm not sure about the other partions. I know mmcblk0p7 size did not change. But since these two are different, it changes the partition structure, which is contained within mmcblk_start.

That kind of throws a wrench into my idea of just writting the a500 mmcblk_start to the A100. It might be possible to write the entire mmcblk0 image, basically turning the A100 into an A500. Then try to put back the /boot and /system images from the A100, assuming the boot image will fit. This would probably have to be done via nvflash, kind of like the A500 downgrade method.

I'm gonna have to learn more about that before i think about attempting this..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sanixk:
I have tried A500 downgrade method but failed. Nvflash wouldn't work without bootloader key.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
I know it has only been a few days since the dumps were provided but is there any hope in a recovery?

I am at the point where I need to decide if I am going to return the tablet or not. I really like the form factor but if there is no hope of a recovery then it is not worth keeping since custom roms won't be coming.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Euclid's Brother:
I kind of hit a wall with my idea of just overwriting the bootloader with the A500 version. But it would require changing the partition information, and that's a bit beyond me at the point.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
Thanks, The bootloader stuff is beyond me. I can build android from source and make minor adjustments to the kernel. I have only done this for my own use but I was hopping to give ICS a try once the source was released.

The sad thing is the A100 is such a nice tab. Perfect form factor. I may keep it and hope that someone cracks the bootloader in time.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Euclid's Brother:
It's still possible to make custom ROMs and install them with the "dd" command via adb. It's not very graceful, it'll cause the tablet screen to freeze, but it will flash completely. You won't be able to flash a new kernel, but can do /system.

If something goes wrong, stock recovery is still intact and a full stock update.zip will restore it.

This was how the first ROM was done on the A500 before sc2k released itsmagic making CWM possible.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rcummings100:
We can always hope for custom ROMs even with the device still locked down so much. Checkout the work they're doing over in the Motorola Milestone forum here on XDA. That's got to be the most locked down phone around, yet they figured out ways around the locked bootloader and what not.

I used the Milestone for the last year and a half and absolutely loved it. I was running CM6 and then CM7 for ages, right up until last month when I got a shiny new phone to play with.

So there's ALWAYS hope here on XDA! I say keep the Acer A100 and enjoy it as is until one of the evil geniuses on here figures things out ;)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zanderman112:
So, this has root but no cwm/custom recovery, correct? Thinking of getting one of these.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kdkinc:
I found this site while searching for recovery.

THESE maybe junk?? (sorry for my error of not reading. NOT JUNK )

EDIT: sorry late to the party...thought I had something new .
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rcummings100:
Correct, for the moment at least.

hey everyone. so apparently mobile to mobile doesnt apply to monthly 4g plans. i never read this anywhere and i tried to do as much research as i could before i tired to get on this plan. but now, after 1 day of ussage, im out of minutes.

if you guys have any specific questions, post them, and ill try to answer them
[Networking] freelikegnu:
Fact: I found that I had to buy a $30 t-mo phone at walmart to get this plan, and after activation, I moved the sim to a nicer device (bought a nearly unused lg g2x for cheap). I don't talk on the phone, google voice when I do (voice messages conveniently converted to text) and never give out my t-mo phone #.

History: I have been using boost for a couple years and was happy with their service/plan, but even the rather nice samy prevail (thank you ShabbyPenguin!!) was feeling a bit limited (despite root and link2sd). Was about to try Hoarks CM7 on it. I did not feel like trying to get a regular sprint phone to work on boost either.

Review: Signal strength not as good at home, but I use wifi here anyways. I get about 2Mb data over cell here tho, so not too bad. Phone is a kickass upgrade (CWM, CM7 nightly thanks to XDA forums tutorials!) and I like that I can use my sim in many other devices!

Expect to pay $30 for a phone and $30 for plan. Web activation of phone worked. Be sure to use THE AGENT CODE on the phone box! I bought the $30 card but using the scratch and dust number did not validate online :eek: , I called tmobile number and entered it there and it validated (whew!).

hope that sheds some light...
[Networking] tomprc:
Is the agent code unique? If not, can you share it?
[Networking] Babydollll:
I just ordered the SIM on T-Mobile's website (ended up getting it as an addition to my postpaid plan for my NS which was sitting unused). I followed the activation steps in the booklet that came with the SIM. No agent code needed and I paid $5.34 for the SIM.

NOTE: This only works if you already have a compatible phone with AWS bands. I don't know about activating a newly bought phone on this plan.

Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
[Networking] mixersoft:
I'm moving back to DC this summer (from Beijing) and I want to get on this plan. But I lost my phone the other day and need something for the next 3 months.

Q: Is there any Android/ICS

international

phone I can buy that can be hacked to work with Tmobile HSPA+? I'd say the HTC One S would be perfect for me, but I don't think you can get the one with TMobile 1700 CDMA band.
[Networking] 808dp:
Is the Google's Galaxy Nexus an "international" phone? That may be an option.
[Networking] luftrofl:
Considering changing to this plan...

Has anybody tried tethering on this plan? Also, any non-overage related throttling to report?

Generally, no. Some hacking has been done on AT&T-branded phones (e.g. Galaxy Note) to get them to work with T-Mobile's 3G. However, most phones are incapable of this. Saying 1700 band is a bit misleading - as there are a couple 1700MHz bands that are not AWS (i.e. T-Mobile USA).

So far, all of the Nexus phones (GSM versions, excluding "a" variants which support AT&T's 3G) work with the AWS band. A few others like the Sensation and Evo 3D come to mind.

Your options will be limited because the AWS band is fairly unpopular. Most manufacturers don't bother with it as it's used only on the less-popular networks of the U.S. and Canada - nowhere else.

What are some useful things to throw into the Startup.txt file?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Well you can overclock using the startup.txt which is well documented...

Not sure what else you're looking for. rel_path is well documented. What other commands would you want to pass to the kernel? The other options that come to mind would be related to if you're having issues booting, or if you have a different device altogether.

Did you read the FAQ? There's a topic dedicated to this.... Which cmdline arguments are available in startup.txt? Take that list with a huge grain of salt - a lot of the commands are outdated and the kernel will just ignore them as such.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] x12CHRIS18x:
I though you throw in some commands that can speed up the xdandroid system like things you can throw in the froyo.user.conf
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Other than overclocking and some special kernels that contain special commands (Starfox's comes to mind...) I don't know what you're talking about.

Also, the commands you "throw in" user.conf are usually to bind mount or otherwise automate something that's missing on boot...

You could try flashing the ICS theme after flashing the Stock Deodex ROM. Literally should only take you 10minutes to do. Flashing those two went really fast. Otherwise SD or Monster ROM would be your best bet if metamorph isn't working for ya. The ones on DroidPirate weren't working to good for me, either. But the whitebread theme and the green one here seem to work great.
