Nothing

So, I put the 3.01 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15379983&postcount=1

as update.zip in the SD card. Did it with vol - and power button. Again, the Android robot with yellow exclamation.

It's strange... everyone here did it and apparently it worked perfectly, why not in my case? :(

UPDATE: I changed the update for 2GB SD card. The progress bar went on briefly and so stopped in some point and, again, the Android robot with yellow exclamation.

then run iconiaroot 1.3

and, after the progress bar go until almost the end, it stopped, so do the gears animation, and after reboot, now I have my device stuck on Acer logo screen and the message, in red letters: boot verified failed ...
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Ok..

now then you have to ask..

What browser am i using to download this file.. How am i pushing it to the device.. Does the stock recovery like my sd card..

try downloading to using a diffrent browser / diffrent computer.. try pushing it to a diffrent sd card..

there is something in the above post that is consistant.. im guessing its one of the above i mention above that is your issue..

good luck..
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Chrome.

And I'm pushing the update.zip with "send to..." right click option on the file.

Unbelievable if it's the issue... ?
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
The update zips are region specific i believe. That one doesnt look like its for your region. It can get confusing.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
You can be right, but since it's not made here, I suppose any update.zip can be used... or not... but in fact I'm not able to know what's the specific file for Brazilian devices... or can I?

man, it's 1+ month tablet! How could I do that? crying out loud...
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
Take erica_renee advice......download the zip on your PC. make sure you extract the update.zip. from the file you downloaded. Open update.zip file and make sure it doesnt give an error. Im assuming you can use the same update as north america. I dont follow that too close.

If you have a micro card reader ...pop out the micro sd card and plug it into your PC and copy/past the update.zip to it....then put it back into the tablet and reboot into recovery....

that will at least remove some fault factors.

Edit--instead of extracting the update.zip file from the download you may just have to rename it to update
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:

[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
mmmm... I renamed it every time I tried that! :confused:

I'll try it again...
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
No, dude... I haven't got it... :(
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
OOPS YOU ARE Correct . to flash with stock recovery.. only need to extract it to flash with cwm.. But i think its a bad download bad copy or bad sd card issue..

might want to get the md5 sums and check them before on the computer then again on the tablet... after you put the sd card back in the device.. I had this issue with a older 8 gb sd card back when acer first released the tablet..

Again stop trying the exact same thing. change one at a time and you will find your issue.. . AGAIN GOOD LUCK...
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
I did it. Renamed the file to update.zip, but the yellow exclamation came along briefly...
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
OLDER PEOPLE say..

if you once fail try try again..

this is so misleading.. if you fail once .. do something different because obviously it did not work right the first time
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
ah... so, ok... if it's a bad download, it's impossible to find out... better accept it's my SD card...
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
please do a search for md5 sums and how they work..

im not good at explaining things if you have not figured that out already.. thou i do know what im talking about .. ask any reg on this forum..

anyone will to help past information about this... maybe you have a virus on your computer thats adding some code to the file after d/load.. who knows..

i so sho
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
I'll do, erica!

TY for the "patience"... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Sounds like you still have the stock recovery loaded (not something like CWM).

So, if the factory stock recovery will not run an update.zip it is because one of the following I have found will cause it:

1. It is NOT signed by ACER

2. It is not a version made for your tablet

3. It is older then the version on your tablet therefore it would be a downgrade. Downgrades are not suppose to be allowed.

4. Corrupt zip (highly unlikely)

5. Something is wrong with our internal storage therefore causing the update.zip to fail (hardware issue).
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I ACTUALLY thought about that.. but i myself have with factory recovery.. downgraded from a 3.1 i think .11. rom to 3.01 Original rom..with that said 3.2 might stop you from downgrading but I dont see this if that is the case cant he run your 3.2.1 from your post... with that said . we all know flashing any rom chip can be death of a device... sorry op if we are confusing you...

I am just a DUMB DINGY BLONDE .. oops geeky blonde..

and jd i think you are wrong about the ota for ics.. but we can agree to disagree.

Giggles
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
I think 1 and 2 are highly possibles! But I really didn't find out what's the brazilian version of these updates... And the ones from Vache package post seem to be official files.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
confused... tired... with no directions after everything I did.

Sorry, people, but I acknoledge my "year end's tech ****"... :p
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Great reasoning ..

you are correct.. and so is jd about the downgrade not allowed.. but i think only after 3.2 rom..

have you tried td s thread

he is correct that if the 3.2 got installed or was on your tablet you cant go back without the bootloader flash .. as its what happens with the root 3.2 threads..

yes i just added another variable sorry .. \

its sad im sitting here bored on a friday night dont hate me please .. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Yep, it WAS 3.2.

So, before I go to sleep, I think I really lost my tab and, thus, it's almost a piece of junk...? Well... I'll try once more tomorrow. TY erica and everyone here. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
your welcome .. we are all probably missing something..

sleep well
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
I have yet to brick one, and I fubar them up a lot.

Are you sure you never had your tablet connected to your PC so you can get your Serial Number for the USB?

To unlock your bootloader, you need the serial number on the USB. ACER used that to lock it and if you ever connected to your PC, Windows will have it in the registry because it keeps all USB serial numbers that have connected.
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
If you have already installed a 3.2

Then you should probably find the full 3.2 update and flash it. Maybe one of these in the 3.2 update lineup from vache.( link below) Thats what I would try. There are about 5 to choose from. Which one for you ...I dont know. Maybe post in that thread and vache could put you on to one.

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

I know in another thread you were wanting OTA updates to work so thats where I think the region thing kicks in. Someone correct me if Im wrong

A stock 3.2 update will leave you rootless until you downgrade using this method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

But if you do use the downgrade to get root ....once again you will not be able to install updates. Not a big deal, the devs in here are always able to find a way to get the updates to you and allow you to keep root. One way or another.

it's all done via PC and a USB connection with all of the correct zips included. just do what the pdf in the zip says it it might work
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
I did it once... someone here said me to use a tool that shows all the USB connections on my PC... I'm willing to leave this option as a last trying...

mmm... I'll check it, dude! I didn't try exactly this option!

TY, man! gonna take a look at it!
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
So, I tried that.

My device, though I have recovered the USB UID, is not recognized by my PC even connected by USB cable. It stays stuck on the black screen Acer logo and the "Boot verified failed..." message.

UPDATE: the process above now seems going on...

[Acer Iconia A500] durango99:
BTW, I had a similar issue trying to downgrade from 3.2.1 to 3.0.1 where when I tried to boot into the stock recovery it would give me the android with exclamation mark and stop at that screen.

Turns out I had a 32gb (class 2) SD card that didn't seem to be seen by the recovery process. I put in a 2gb (probably up top 16gb sd card since I've seen this issue with other rom installs on other devices) SD card and was able to allow the downgrade process to continue normally.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Orion66:
Ok i wanted to start new thread with this issue

got a question about the screen. Some times I can sense and see that despite of auto brightness off that the screen adjusts its brightness by itself. It is a little change but my sharp eyes can see this... Do you have a similar thing?

I can easly notice this when playing my country game. When I click on the building menu the screen gets brighter. When i cancel the menu the screen makes darker

Also in sprinkle when I use water the screen gets little brighter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think this is because the Tegra 3 (or ASUS's implementation of it) adjusts contrast to conserve power. The changes in contrast make brightness seem to change.

I think their settings are too aggressive and they should either scale them back or add an option to turn it off, if possible. I'm sure it's nice for battery life but it does (in some very specific instances) seem to impact the experience.

Note: this is not a doom-and-gloom post. The Prime's screen performance is the best I've ever experienced on a mobile device, maybe any device, overall. So this is a bit of a nuisance but nowhere near enough for me to have an inkling of regret about buying the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
This only happens on mine while in power saving mode.

TF201 / XDA premium
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Orion66:
Do you experince the same issue as me?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I'm not sure, I'll have to do some more testing. I seem to remember it happening across the board.

I'll note that Battery mode really does make a HUGE difference in the screen's performance. Colors become very washed out, so much so that I'm really surprised by the impact.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Orion66:
Well in my case this thing occurs on every mode with the same strenght... That sucks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Orion66:
so anyone of you can confirm if this is normal? Do you have the same isue on your primes?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ankhazam:
It seems the light sensor has high resolution and Asus needs to smooth up a bit the auto-brightness algorithms :) If your screen goes up and down then simply disable auto-brightness or change lightning conditions
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Orion66:
Like i said auto brightness is off. Can anyone install my country and check his out for me? Just enter build menu and chec if the screen gets a little brighter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
it has nothing to do with auto-brightness... Its a feature of tegra 3, it can change the brightness of each pixel to give you the best image and use the least amount of power.. unfortunately its just annoying and not implemented well.

And you cannot turn it off.

I was looking through some classifieds and I think I'm going to pick up a Desire Z soon and I have some questions.

I'm with Canadian carrier Rogers, and the DZ is originally from Bell, but unlocked, and it works, so I should use the stock bell radio no matter what rom Im running.

Do developers leave the radio's out of the roms? I have a Nexus S and sometimes theres only i9020T(T-Mobile) roms and only i9020A(AT&T) Roms.

Aside from the radio questions, is there anything I should look out for? kernels/roms not liking the DZ? I've already read about the S-Off issues when reverting to stock, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the help!

Sincerely,

an HTC Vision n00b

I am in alberta with a bell dz on rogers network. Unlock er and root her following the wiki. Then pick a rom, I reccomend cm7 ilwt as of right now. If you have any troubles feel free to pm me. The dz/g2 are pretty much idiot proof :)

On the radio issue, no custom roms have a radio built into it. We have a seperate radio thread to flash them yourself, latest radio works best for me. once your rooted I would never imagine going to stock again, I've returned a rooted s off, sim unlocked dz to the source with cm7 on it and was never questioned lol.

Anyways hope I helped bro like I said pm me if u need anything!

My friends phone is stuck in a boot loop its running stock rom he hasn't rooted his phone. This happen when his phone started running slow so he turned it off that's when the happened boot loop. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
If the phone is still under waranty, you should send it in for repair.

If it is out of waranty, try factory resetting and clearing cache from stock recovery by holding vol+ and vol- while the phone is off, and press the power button until the phone turns on. then only let go of the power button. If you see a recovery menu, you will want to factory wipe and clear the cache. Make sure your battery is charged first. ;)

(EDIT: forgot to mention that vol+ and vol- are up and down in recovery, and power is enter)

Let the phone reboot and let it sit for 10 minutes to build it's initial cache entries.

If that doesn't help, let us know :D

New Update! Easier Than Ever!

How To Install You New Kernel!

With drellisdee's Main Version Fix

Instructions

DEVS: New versions are added. Two zips are attached. One is for flashing zImages, one is for flashing boot images.

Just put the contents up the updater script into your rom along with the kernel folder.

For the zImage one, put a zImage named "zImage" in the kernel folder. For a boot image, put a boot.img named "boot.img" in the kernel folder. Each zip has the appropriate scripting for that type of file. For a rom, it is likely you want the boot image version.

This fixes the main version so that will no longer be an issue with rom installations thanks to drellisdee

OLD NOTES: (Ignore )

-1)Flash the rom of your choice and the boot image distributed with it via a PH98IMG.zip. If it doesn't come with one, just move on.

0)Flash the kernel you want's zip file in recovery. Also make sure there are no existing PH98IMG.zip files on your sdcard

1)Download AutoKernelInstaller.zip attached to my post.

2)Extract the zip

3)If you want ziggy's kernel, move to step 4. If you want another kernel, find the zImage file in the kernel's zip folder and copy it to the kernel folder from my zip file. It should overwrite the zImage file in there now.

4)Run buildFlashable.bat

5)Flash the flashmeinrecovery.zip in recovery

6)My scripts in flashme.zip will perform all of the work to create a PH98IMG.zip and then will automatically reboot to HBOOT

7)Press the power button in HBOOT to select bootloader

8)Select Yes for installing the new boot.img

9)Done :) Your kernel is installed!

To users, you can now use this to flash your own kernels without needing someone else to make it a boot.img specific to a certain rom. You will still need to flash the kernel's zip file in recovery to get the extra stuff the kernel comes with, such as a wifi module. These steps are in addition to that process.

To devs, feel free to add this script to your kernel zip files so S-ON devices can use it without boot.img creation knowledge and so that you don't have to distribute hardcoded boot.img files.

Why is all this necessary? You most likely didn't have to jump through these hoops to install kernels on your other devices...

I am no dev. I have no idea how to make a kernel/rom (for the most part). I just know what with and why users struggle with things and I try to simplify and automate as much as possible. It is better to leave the "real" work for the devs so they don't have to waste time doing things that I can help with.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
Just out of curiosity, does flashing that first file wipe the internal memory? Not the one with ROM and stuff on it, but the one where your TiBackups are stored and such, because after I flashed the kernel, all my Titanium backups were gone and the internal memory was wiped. I didn't lose anything because I made copies to my desktop computer, but if I hadn't, I would have lost all that stuff. Maybe I did something wrong, but I don't think so, because I followed instructions, and the kernel is installed and working fine.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
This flashable wipes nothing. It just creates a new flashable boot image from what is already on your device.
