Ryan,

HC=Honeycomb (the version of Android that is currently on your tab).

No difference, in the name for market, some people just use a different term.

2. No it doesn't. It will install CWM which will make a backup of your current ROM which you can flash to go back to original.

3. Root allows you to install CWM which will in turn allow you to flash custom ROMs.

4. Yes you will need to downgrade first, make certain you have everything you need already downloaded and on your external SD card.

5. Read, READ, READ, READ, take notes, and follow instructions to the letter. We certainly don't need another "help, I bricked my tab" thread lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
1) No difference, Google Market/App Store yada yada yada.

a) HC = Honey Comb, it is Googles internal name for their OS from versions 3.x

- If you go to Settings - Privacy, put a check in the boxes for "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore". Doing this alone has been enough for Google to automatically re-install about 99% of my apps.

2) Acer Recovery makes it easier to install the various Recovery images. It does not alone help you get back to "bone stock", but it at least will re-install the stock Recovery image if and when you're ready to go back to the stock ROM.

3) Root is getting root access to the device, which is generally needed to install custom ROMs, so I could see the confusion.

4) Almost right, you'll need to bring it back to 3.0.1 first. Be sure to have already downloaded and installed at least Acer Recovery and IconiaRoot before downgrading, as the Market is flakey as heck when you downgrade to 3.0.1. I followed method 2 in that thread and had 0 issues.

5) Not needed, see my info after 1,a).
[Acer Iconia A500] YeeP:
In reference to your answers:

#3 - Am I correct in saying that I can get root access without applying a new ROM?

#4 - I have an SD card, and it looks as though with the downloads and what not, the tablet is not even using it.

How (I am sure to get a "use search" answer with someone...) do I force the tablet to download these things I need to the SD card?

Do I need an additional SD card to be used for this process only?

I see that you are working on a version of your ROM for 3.2.1, shall I just wait to avoid problems?

#5 - I have been trying to read as many "brick" threads as I can in order to avoid them.
[Acer Iconia A500] YeeP:
I did find the IconiaRoot thread by Thor. It looks as though this is the reason for bringing the version back to 3.0.1, true? Not to many usable answers to the questions asked in that thread, that are answered by the OP. I will try and search for people using it and starting their own thread.

This looks to be a Windows piece of software, maybe I can get it to run on my virtual box... or wine... :D. I guess I could try it on my work machine.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
IconiaRoot is the app to actually use the exploit found to root the device and give you root access. Now, the reason for going to 3.0.1 is because the exploit was fixed by Acer is version 3.2. So, the downgrade is needed first so that the exploit is available to root your device.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
OMG..

Your worse then most of my girl friends.. ITS ALL QUITE SIMPLE AND EASY

if you are on STOCK FROM ACER.. 3.2 OR ABOVE . you must DOWNGRADE TO GET ROOT..

The best way to do this to date seems to be in the past by Jimmy Dean.. there are links to his threads in nearly every recent bricked or threads similar to yours..

im guessing if you have looked at all the threads about being bricked and still do not understand how to do it..or scared to try .

DO NOT ATTEMPT

MAYBE you should ask a dev if you can send your tablet to them in the mail and them flash it for you.. Would be my best sugestion.. Everyone that flashes anything on there tablet or any ROM BASED Device takes the risk of bricking.. IF you have read other bricking related threads you will see people complain they fallowed all instructions and still ended up bricked.. Maybe to falt of there own they missed or maybe just luck of the Flash..

Good Luck and look for Jimmy Deans post in the d/load he gives a very detailed instructions with step by step pictures. as some of the others do as well..

Thanks for listening to me RANT About my opinion...

xxx the dingy blonde Erica Renee.. ;););););););)
[Acer Iconia A500] YeeP:
Perfect, thanks man.

Not sure if you ranted to make yourself feel good or show how awesome you are. Either way, this is not my first time to the rodeo, and not my first time on a forum where there are people that want to constantly show how tough they are. I have seen your posts in other threads and know what to expect from you. Because I am new here, I will not use the language I am tempted to with you.

It is so cool that you feel great enough that you can give someone a hard time because they want to make sure they are prepared to do things right the first time. As opposed to the opposite. Maybe because they want to understand how things work and the syntax surrounding the protocol(s).

My opinion on your opinion is to STFU and kiss my ass. mkay?
[Acer Iconia A500] garringm:
Thought we were talking about tablets here ... this whole Jimmy Dean and Links givin me a hankerin for some breakmast :p
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Give thanks to those who need it..

Thanks for such nice words.I do appreciate and value your opinion of me.

All im saying is that if you have read all the threads and post about bricked devices bad flashing stories and the threads on how to do it correctly.. That there is nothing more anyone can do or say to you about this.. Only other option is for someone to do it for you.. I did not mean to offend you in any way.

Its kinda unclear what you expected to get out of starting a thread stating that you read everything good and bad.. about flashing this tablet.. maybe the solution is to go to android sdk site and get better acquainted with the OS on a more personal level.. if you are still not understanding the process .

With that all said..

I do hope you accomplish what your trying to do.I also sent you a Thanks maybe it will make you smile and not be so hateful toward constructive criticize n.

Good Luck.. :):):):):):):):):)
[Acer Iconia A500] YeeP:
Ah, my mistake, I must have been confused by the meaning of "constructive criticism"

Apparently when you say:

That is meant in the most loving, helpful way. :confused: Right? I should have been happy with that response. I apologize.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Giggles im so sorry .. fix me some while your in the kitchen..
[Acer Iconia A500] YeeP:
OK, erica_renee, I need to come back and give a real apology. I am having a hard day at work today and was looking toward learning a new process on my latest toy to give me a little relaxation. I just had a customer blaming my additions to the software as the cause of their problems. Not sure if you code for a living, but that is not a fun conversation.

Sorry if I was mean, I just want to learn and not be treated like an idiot. I just want to be as educated as possible before I make a move. I see to many people getting educated because they broke something.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Its all fine

I do understand what you mean..

NOPE im not in software development in anyway. I did back in the 80s own a local computer business so i know how customers can be.. As far as my past being mean and aggressive.. YES i think it was ,better to have someone dislike me then brick there device.. I have leaned alot about android thru the official android web development site.. Its alot of long winded boring reading.

all is kewl with me. I dont take this stuff personal.People including myself sometimes can become to agressive on forums. as its not really a face to face interaction..

anyway GOOD Luck...

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] songsong69:
I wonder if there are any differences between many kinds of HTC Holiday include HTC Vivid, HTC Raider (from many network:bell,roger, or from Korea...).

I dont mention about the hardware (CPU 1.2 vs 1.5), just about the software: Can i flash the Raider cooked Rom for my Vivid ?

Its very amazing that Raider can get perm rooted for a long time but my Vivid doesn't

BTW: how do i know if my HTC get unlocked bootloader or not. i have just get vivid from my friend and i dont know what he did before

Thanks :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
LTE bands.

Pull the battery, replace it, hold voldown and power. Look at the top of the white screen and see if it says unlock.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
The raider and the vivid are identical hardware wise and the raider had perm root because it was shipped with a unlocked bootloader where as us vivid owners had to wait for htc dev to unlock ours. Yes the raider roms and kernel do work with the vivid I am running holicakes with the custom kernel. And if you turn off the device then press and hold the power button and volume down you will get into fast recovery and the first line will either say locked or unlocked referring to your bootloader
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
There is no difference, aside from the radios and the frequencies used.

The Hardware IS Identical, the Vivid was under-clocked by AT&T to extend battery life. It is a 1.5 Processor.

Other ROMs for any Holiday "SHOULD" work, but I'd let others test them out first... I may just be paranoid. ;)

No, what's amazing is that AT&T forced HTC to lock it...

Pull Battery

Replace Battery

Hold Volume Down + Press Power

At the top of the Screen it will tell you if it is locked or not.

Thanks. I thought because I was asking about a specific rom that this would be the right place to post, Thanks for the heads up.

Follow the link that Erica posted. Looks like using the acer rom might not void the waranty. Afterall, I ran the acer update on my tablet WITHOUT rooting it.

Afterwards I was able to root it with all the acer methods/tools.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] charl87523:
I am using Lightflow to control my new GSM Galaxy Nexus notification light. However, unless it is flashing a primary color, like blue or red, the light color is slightly off. For example, yellow comes off looking reddish green while white looks like a purplish green. Even with darker colors, it doesn't look solid. Is it just my phone or has anyone seen an issue like this? Is my notification LED defective?

Thanks

Only idea which comes to mind would be to poke around in the sysfs area to see if the stock kernel provides any controls of the LED and what those controls are ...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lizard King:
Isnt't yellow a primary color ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
There are 3 leds RBG (red blue green) that perform additive color mixing. And since there are only 3 leds (one of each color) it will seem separated when mixing of multiple colors occurs. In the past on other devices the color changing leds were surface mounted on the pc board with a plastic piece that would reduce the spread/mixing and diffuse it to a small 1/32" visible area on outside of the device. With galnex's thinner design with less diffusing and add in making the visible notification area 3/32" will make seeing a small portion of the individual colors when mixing occurs.

And yellow is a primary when dealing with subtractive color mixing (i.e. cyan magenta yellow black) also known as "cmyk" which is used for full color printing.

good day.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.t.laperriere:
Hi everyone

So here it is : No program is able to recognize/detect my Galaxy S i9000M (Bell Vibrant) when it's in download mode, so I can't flash any ROM. My phone is currently fully bricked and unusable. I cannot access to the recovery mode with the three-button thingy or by "adb reboot recovery"

I bricked using Odin 1.8, trying to flash a 2.2 froyo stock ROM from Samfirmware. The flashing went ok, but it failed to reboot. Actually, the screen was turned off and nothing was happening. I figured out it was fully bricked so I made a USB JIG, it worked. I can access my download mode.

I connected the phone to my Windows 7 computer and used Odin to flash back to 2.1 Eclair, with a stock ROM from Samfirmware. It failed (I don't remember the error message, it was a couple days ago...).

I tried with Heimdall Frontened. It had a problem uploading the .pit file, so the flashing didn't work.

Now each time i connect the phone to my computer, Windows (and Heimdall frontened and Odin) doesn't detect it,which means that I can't flash anything on it

even though it is in download mode

.

I have tried reinstalling like every driver on earth, still not responding.

I tried on another Windows 7 machine and on Ubuntu, the device is not detected.

I tried with different USB cables, nothing happens.

This is my hypothesis (maybe silly) : Could the problem be the Download mode being corrupted? :eek:

Whatever... I could use some help from you guys.

Thank you,

Sam

I read a lot these past days so i now a few things but there are things i do not really get.

2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19607833#post19607833 dated 23rd November 2011

I thought i try using the second since it does not involve HTC unlocking and for what i read warranty voiding.(correct me if i am wrong).

So the first step is downgrading to GB using the proper RUU.

My cidnum is cidnum: HTC__032 so i downloaded

RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_X.XX.405.X from the sticky thread with shipped roms.

Next i thought was running the RUU but i got some error :

Error 140:Bootloader version error.

And after this i am still on HC, at least did not brick anything(for now).

Sorry if i asked any stupid question, i am trying to learn about this.

Thank you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] N_ine:
Well, the first guide requires s-off. The second, aparently it was edited 3 hours ago with "Updating with new procedure" so maybe wait till that's done and see how that goes?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] berbecverde:
No hurry here:)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
if you're S-ON you need the first procedure to downgrade from HC, you cannot downgrade from S-ON HC to GB without running the htc unlock.

So there is no other way, but to use HTC unlock.:(
