[Acer Iconia A500] KitKomputer:
Yes, I did.

I talked to AT&T on the phone before I bought it and they didn't have the codes and called Acer who said they needed the serial number to get the code. I tried phoning Acer directly and got a non-English speaker who said they had no codes.

I then bought it but didn't open it so I can retgurn with no restocking fee. I called AT&T. The 1st two people didn't know what they were doing. The 3rd person asked for the IMEI number (which is all on the back of the box) and put it in his system and found out that he had no unlock codes for it, and no specified date for when the codes would be released.

I then called Acer and got a non-English speaker who said that I had to call the people who gave me my SIM card to get the codes. When I told her that it was the device that had the lock, not the sim card, she said to call back on Monday when they were open and they could raise it o the 2ndary level.

I'm probably going to return it and get my brother in England to buy me a sim tablet, or forget about tablets and get an unlocked android phone which seems far easier to to.

Has anyone tried those 'unlock your phone' companies to see if they know anything about tablets?

Alternatively, you could by any of the unlocked android 2 tablets (a la ViewSonic) ... a sales person in MicroCenter claims you can flash it to android 3 although I had read somewhere that it can't really handle it.

I really prefer the 7" tablets, and really would like to find the Acer A101. I was playing with the A100 and it's great.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoic:
still nothing... tried a couple of services, they also have no codes.

Was able to unlock my canadian rogers acer iconia a501 from a service on eBay (out of Montreal I believe)

While I'd rather unlock it myself, this was the only way I found to unlock it so I can use it with my bell sim tab.
[Acer Iconia A500] Shaun_K:
Hi ordio,

Can you please elaborate on which service did you use on ebay to unlock it?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] kopipaoxda:
On the off-chance that it would be that simple, I just called AT&T and spent 15 minutes trying to teach a robot how to read off script. Bottom line is that AT&T cannot (read: will not) provide an unlock code at this time. According to said robot, for most devices, there is a date listed in their system that tells them the associate when the unlock code would be available, but there isn't one in the system for the A501.

On a related note, Moscow thanks for the Alexandra II R4 Rom. It's my first on the A501, install went smooth, ROM runs like a dream. Looking forward to testing your future work.
[Acer Iconia A500] ordio:
Oops, i know you sent me a PM, but figured i'd post a response for this.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Unlock-Code-...539?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item3f11d71373

This was the service i used to unlock...

I'm not sure if this would work with AT&T, but you could send this guy a message and see if they can generate an unlock code for the AT&T brand.

Yes, the Alexandra II R4 Rom is wonderful :).
[Acer Iconia A500] jasonerb:
this seller from ebay just unlock from rogers canada.

as some friends here, im still looking a way to unlock my at&t acer iconia a501. i tried some unlock code sellers on internet, and nobody had the unlock calculator.

i tried too a unlock sim, like gevey, doesnt work too. using the unlock sim, the tablet stop to ask me for a unlock code, and "recognize" the sim card, but didnt take a network, just say no network avaliable.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Unlock the 501 ATT

Ok, this will apply ONLY if you do not live in the USA. If you live in the USA (and possibly Canada), you will have to live with a tab locked to the ATT network.

Now, my friend Edenprime, and some others, bought these tabs not knowing they were locked to ATT Network in the US.

Here is the thread telling you how to exactly communicate with Acer first. Acer will hopefully then, send your number to ATT, and get the unlock code.

1, Note that you MUST be nice. Explain the situation

2, Your tab must be registered with Acer

3. You must always include your SN and IMEI with EVERY e-mail you send. This is very important.

4. Do not accept NO for an answer. Ask to send it to a higher supervisor.

5. Do not accept NO.

6. Be nice.

7. Again, do not accept NO for an answer. Explain you live in another country, and the retail shop where you bought, did not tell you it was locked to an American network.

Hopefully, they will forward it to ATT, and you will get the unlock code.

Hope it works.

Unlocked 2 A501 locked to ATT

Here is what I did to get my 2 A501's unlocked.

You will need to register your tablet first.

https://support.acer.com/us/en/register/default.aspx?sn=

Then send an email from here

http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/list

Log in using the name and password created when you registered.

Then click on ask a question.

Include your

SNID

Serial number

IMEI number

Explain that you will be traviling in Europe for the next 6 monts and need to have your tablet SIM unlocked from ATT.

You should get an email from acer that looks like this

Dear XXXX,

Thank you for contacting Acer America. We have submitted your unlock request to AT&T. Please allow one week to receive your unlock code from AT&T.

Respectfully,

Acer America

Online Technical Support

You will get a response from ATT in about a week.

They provided me with one working unlock code and one that did not work.

It took several calls to ATT to get the second code corrected.

You only have five attemps to unlock so be carefull

If it doesn't work after the second try get on the horn with ATT

It may take you several calls and a lot of patience to get them to send you the code that works.

But both of mine are now unlocked!

:D:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] B.Maximenko:
I also bought the Tab in my country and sent a request for unlock code. They said they don't provide unlock codes for A501 anymore as of August 20th. What a shame :(.

Replied with another message with another plea in hope.

06/25/2012 Here is an updated 14 toggle for the AT&T Leak LE5

14 Toggle Mod LE5

You can modify the toggles under settings/display/toggles tab

It includes removal of the full battery notification, AT&T in the statusbar, clock and am/pm toggle under settings/date and time

4/17/2012 Rockratt posted a LD3 14 toggle mod which can be found in this post right here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21038389&postcount=167

Update: 11/20/2011

Removed the annoying vibrate icon for you folks. Just download the new file at the end of the post.

Update: 11/16/2011

Finally got the file working for Cog 777. So have at it :)

Thanks to sileshnair in the Intl. forum for help on it.

Update: 10/16/2011

The mod has been updated to support 14 toggles! New: Lockscreen and Screentimeout.

Also you can now change the order of the toggles as well as which toggles are visible. :) This is done through the QuickPanelSettings app

I have added in a transparent drop down notification background as well.

Hello

Again I found another post in the GSII International forum that I think we could use on our phones.

This is a 12 toggle mod for the quick panel. It contains toggles for:

Wifi, Data, GPS, Flashlight (really cool), Sound, Rotation, Bluetooth, Airplane, Auto Sync, Brightness, Reboot and Shutdown

The Reboot option has three options to it similar to an extended power menu

Reboot, Recovery and Download mod

This has been tested for Cog X2 Beta 4 and stock rooted. It will not work on Perception as it is not a KH7 based rom . If you use it on a different rom be sure to let me know so I can update this.

As usual flash at your own risk, I am not responsible for your phone or problems it has from this modification.

Just download the CWM file at the bottom of the post and flash away. :cool:

**For stock odexed rooted roms as follows: extract the systemui and lidroid-res via root explorer. Install systemui in system/app then rename the systemui.odex to systemui.odex.Bak and push lidroid-res to system/framework. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Thanks to VFO for this method!

Thanks to lidroid for the files and code changes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] switters1:
It definitely works on cog x2 beta 3. But I think I was expecting something else.

There are 12 toggles now. You have to scroll through them on the notification bar.

I wish I could just specify which ones appear on the notification bar and in what order.

Does anybody know if this can be easily tweaked to do this?

My perfect toggle set:

Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, sound, sync

Flashlight is cool, but I'd rather have an app for that.

Tasker handles rotation toggle for the Apps that need it.

And airplane mode isn't something I need very often so I'd prefer seeing it in a power menu instead of toggles.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
I used Cog Beta 4's files to port it so I have not tested it on stock what so ever. Attached is the mod with stock files, you can try that if you wish. But like I said I haven't tested it so I am not sure if it will work. The risk is of your own if you flash it.

If you're still stock and only rooted your problem is the odex files. You need to flash a deodexed rom.

I have it working with stock ROM that is odexed. However, I did not flash it. Instead I extracted the systemui and lidroid-res via root explorer. I installed systemui in system/app and then renamed the systemui.odex to systemui.odex.Bak and pushed lidroid-res to system/framework. I then rebooted and wala, it works great.

[General Questions and Answers] rockreactor:
Hello.

From my post number you can understand that i am pretty new to the android world. So from my short understanding,

Kernel=The core of the OS

Firmware=The entire OS including the core .

Correct me on the above if am wrong.

Now lets get on topic. I want to root and then bring my phone to the factory default kernel or firmware if that makes a difference.

Looking at my phone status and on topics like :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101671

i see a lot of numbers that i dont understand.

First of all lets talk about my phone.

Baseband Version: I9100XXKI1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7.19100XWKI4-CL575468

Build Number: Gingerbread.XWKI4

1) The KI4 specifies the firmware version ? If yes why in the baseband i have KI1 while one the build number KI4 ? (i had KE7 before upgrading with KIES)

2) If i would like to download the original firmware from the thread i posted above i should go for the following as described below ? Even here, The Phone says XXKI1 while PDA XWKI4 . On which should i be interested and what is each of them .

XWKI4

Firmware info

PDA:XWKI4

PHONE: XXKI1

Date: 14/09/2011

Android 2.3.4

3) Even on the XWKI4 on the above thread, there are several links, OXX MultiCSC(AUT, COS, ...), DBT (Germany), XEU (UK) , XWKI4 Stock Kernel etc. My phone was imported from Germany, does it really matter what download link i chose ? What is again the difference in them.

4) Now about kernels. For an insecure kernel i should go for the GT-I9100_XWKI4_insecure ?

5) As last , to restore back to the factory default firmware (or kernel), i need to download the original kernel from the above thread i posted which would be ( GT-I9100_XWKI4_original) , or i can simply apply the firmware which would add also the firmware and would replace it without any problem ?

Thank you very much in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] rockreactor:
no one knows the answer of any of the 4-5 points ? :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Because you can see the baseband (modem) as an own package in the rom.

Sometimes the rom gets updated and the modem doesn't thats why the numbers are different.

You can also flash just another modem and keep the rest of the rom.

Looks good, just write down what kernel/modem/rom you have atm and get one with the same specs among the the original firmwares.

If you flash the original firmware it will contain the original kernel.

Can I just replace framework.res for the unlock screen? I'm very satisfied with my current statusbar made by taaviu and I don't wan't to replace it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
yes you can, the status bar icons are in systemUI.apk so if you replace only framework the status bar will stay as it is.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
For those that also only want to replace framework-res.apk:

Download Scriptmanager and BusyBox

Follow the steps from this thread.

I couldn't get ADB working so here's my alternative part:

Open scriptmanager and open the reframe.sh script.

Works perfectly fine, and you won't need your PC for other things than moving the framework-res.apk and the reframe.sh to your phone.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

Very strange: my battery icon in the statusbar is replaced by yours, but the WiFi and other icons are not replaced.

Can you make a list of what is changed by your theme.

The framework-res changes pop-ups (incl. animation), battery icon in the status-bar, lockscreen, unlock-pattern theme.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
My mistake some icons include those in status bar are in Framework also so you need to replace both apk sistemUI and framework:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
I discovered a quite annoying bug: The pop-up animation takes too long, so if you want to make a screenshot, the power-off menu is halfway on the screenshot. This is a big point for me.

But I put android 2.3.4 typhoon_cm7_v3.4.0-MAGLDR.zip and now when i put my non t-mobile sim card it asks me for SIM network unlock PIN, can you help me
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you need to flash back to winmo in order to enter the sim unlock code. You CAN enter it into android, but it wont work, only winmo has the ability to write the required data to sim unlock it.
[HD2 General] arsenala:
can I flash it back to winmo, and save my current android? and how do o find the code?

thanks for the help so far:)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you need to buy a code, or get one from a current t mobile customer. If it was sold unlocked, and now asks for a code, you were miss-sold it, because once its unlocked its always unlocked, , it can never get relocked.

yes you can backup your android rom thru CWM, then flash winmo, insert teh code, reflash magldr, cwm and restore your backup.
[HD2 General] arsenala:
I have nand android, can I boot the winmo, or when I put the android it deleted the winmo?
[HD2 General] jackrabbit72380:
hmmm

i didnt know all this could we put a moded version of min mo 6.5 and do a 1 timeboot for unlocking of an sd card?
[HD2 General] arsenala:
This sounds like a really complicated thing to do..

Can I just put winmo ot my sdcard and run it?

I read that you can use winmo and android the same time if you have nand winmo and android on sd, but can this be done the other way arround?

Right now I am reading throughout the forum to see if this can be done and how, but if anyone knows the answer I will be very happy if you tell me.

Thanks for the help
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
No, winmo on nand only. Yes you deleted winmo when you flashed nand android. You will need to flash winmo from scratch.

@jackrabbit,, unlock SD card? We're talking about sim card unlock.

(Wait, did you mean "for unlocking OFF and SD card"? In which case i doubt it, winmo will only work from nand. Not SD.

The whole process should only take 25 minutes..

Magldr - cwm - backup and restore - backup - reboot to bootloader - flash a winmo rom - unlock sim card - enter bootloader - re apply 2.08.hspl android compatible radio, magldr and cwm - magldr - cwm - backup restore - full restore.
[HD2 General] arsenala:
Ok, thank you.

For now I contacted with my seller that the phone isn`t unlocked and requested an unlock code. By the time he answers me and gives me the code I`ll stay with android, just because I still have some hope that the code will work on android.

If not, I`ll put the winmo and then android.

Do you know the easiest way to put winmo? I`ll need it only to put the code and then flash to android?

Thank you much for the help. :)
[HD2 General] arsenala:
Well, it would take 25 mins to you.

I`m reading like for half an hour just to find out how to put winmo :D

And didn`t find anything :D

like for example I don`t know what Magldr and cwm :D

Oh, well.. there will be lots of reading :D

EDIT:

Okay... I couldn`t wait and flashed to winmo 7 - using this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nac3Fnf-lY4

and using radio Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**:

i`m still waiting for my seller to respond
[HD2 General] arsenala:
well, my seller gave me a code.. and when I enter it it says that it is accepted, but still when I try to make a call it asks me for the code and doesn`t give me to call.

Do you think that this has anything to do with the fact that the phone is using winmo 7, insted of the 6.5 version?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Exactly. Only winmo 6.5 has the ability to correctly accept that code.

Wont work in wp7 or android, because (drumroll....) its not an android or wp7 phone!

EDIT - oh its you that just bricked a tmous, guess you can stop worrying about how to unlock it. Sorry for your loss.
[HD2 General] bojanbl:
I did once input unlock code on android... It didn't work at start (phone couldn't get signal) but after I reflashed it with WinMo and reflashed radio it worked again... Before reflashing try manualy to select network, I think that after that it worked...
