trying to recover A500 - boot recovery failed

Hi - I'm trying to reset and recover my son's A500 tablet. I copied one of the HC 3.2 Update.zip files to a microSD card, then held down Power and Volume - buttons. As long as I hold down the Volumn down buttin, the tablet seems to be stuck in a never ending cycle of loading the update and booting recovery image kernal, then restarting, then loading the update.zip file and booting recover image kernal, etc.... If I let go of the Volume Down button, I get in red letters "Boot Verification Failed" message, and it stops.
[Acer Iconia A500] draelee:
im trying to help fix an a500 tablet. apparently the tablet gets stuck at the acer logo. when i hit power and the volume button i get some lettering in the top letft. I took the advice here and went and downloaded one of the HC 3.2 updates. copied the update.zip onto the root of the Sd card and then put it back in. I hit the same buttons again and the letters came up. so i assumed things were working. all of a sudden i get an android with a blue diagram in its belly (kind of like it was loading) and then it froze. after waiting for a second I got a second android that popped on the screen and this one is laying on its back with its chest open and a red triangle is showing....So I don't know exactly what I did wrong here. Any help would be appreciated. I am not exactly sure what he did to mess it up. I believe he was trying to install a custom rom and did not go about it correctly and therefore messed up an update and now he has nothing. so im not sure what to do exactly.
[Acer Iconia A500] mizzle54:
I to have had the same problem with my Acer Iconia A500. I followed the instruction and booted the Acer...got to the screen with the Android robot standing upright with the spinning in his stomach...goes to about 1/4 of the way and doesn't go any further....looks like it's trying to continue but has been at the same place for over an hour. Do I need a different rom perhaps?? I used A501.000.00_4.037.01.emea_tmp
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, you can try this. Below are links to update.zip files already decrypted on my server. I have renamed them, only so you can keep them separate. You will have to change the name to "update" (update.zip) and copy one to ext sd card. Reboot holding Vol (+ or -) and PWR. See if they install. You may have to try each until one installs as there is no way to predict which one will work.

This is probably the easiest method to try first.

the "41-125-03-update.zip" seem to work for me. The status bar finally is showing but it doesn't seem to be moving. It moved to 1/4 of the bar and it stayed there. Last time it did this, it stayed there for over 2 hrs. I hope it's working this time. :( Anything else I could try?

My tablet was working fine and I left it there to go to work, coming back I found it on the Acer logo. Many search brought me here.
[Acer Iconia A500] workerantDroid:
update ========

tried and tried and tried.......a few times that the status bar did come up, many times it stuck at around 25%. A few times it got all the way to 75% of the bar. It refuse to go farther when I left it there all night. It finally died when the battery was complete drain. :(

Acer A500 Stuck on ACER Logo (not rooted) finally fixed!

Just wanted to post some positive things for a change. My ACER A500 tablet (not rooted and running ICS 4.0.3) was working fine two months ago and I wanted to watch an ESPN3 football game on the tablet which I then hooked to my HD TV via the HDMI cable. For about an hour, all was fine then the tablet did an uncommanded reboot and then I had the android figure with an opened belly followed by an android laying on it's side with an exclamation mark. On the next restart, my tablet would not pass the ACER logo screen. After reading many posts with the stuck ACER logo, I was not sure how to proceed exactly. I have rooted a 7 inch tablet last year but I could not get my act together on the exact steps to revive my tablet. Finally I came across this post with the ACER ROMs already decripted which removed many questions I had about the exact steps to create an "update.zip" file for my SD card. Based on just downloading the file from your web site and renaming the file to "update.zip" and moving a copy to a formatted SD card, I was ready to try the process to load another ACER file to my tablet. On my first attempt, I tried the file named "206-03" based on a guess of the naming convention used or maybe blind luck. I preformed the PWR button and Vol down button combination with the "update.zip" file on the micro SD inserted in my tablet. The tablet started with three lines of text and then the android figure with it's door open and activity inside the android. This screen stayed then with a completion bar followed by a large text screen warning not to turn off tablet. After about 15 minutes total, my tablet was alive with a request to select my country. Bottom line, taking the steps to put the decripted file on your server and the simple button combination to start the reload process allowed me to get my tablet working great running ICS 4.0.3. I just wanted to post a success story and follow up. Thank you Moscow Desire for taking the extra steps to help the uneducated user!
[Acer Iconia A500] workerantDroid:
Anyway I can check if my ROM hardware are working properly? I have tried all the update.zip and all of them show a dead android at the end. I can't even tell if it read from the microSD.
[Acer Iconia A500] retiredman2006:
update zip files are EXE's, is this safe to run?

I downloaded the update.zip files but noticed they are not zip files but exe's. Is this correct? Or has someone altered them on the download site?

Thanks,

Charlie
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hey Charlie, they shouldn't be exe files. If you downloaded via Dev-host (dst link), more than likely you downloaded one of their infamous advertisement apps (which is why we don't use dev host anymore).

Also, because a lot of those links are very old, it's possible the files have been replaced or just plain missing.

What are you looking for? I've got some full update.zip files (ICS)

Got the update. Zip files from the mega site, Thank you.

My problem is the recovery ends with the android on it's back with an error indicator on the belly flap. Trying to get to KitKat. So I'm trying out ROM mgr(free) to get this done but changing out the recovery update.zip to cwm or TeamWin never completes.

I'm already rooted. I welcome any direction or comments.

Meanwhile I'm reaearching how to do this without these freebie/pay tools since I see that they're not working anymore.

Red triangle with astrix

I have having a similar problem where I get a red triangle with an Astrix. I have tried all update.zip files but can't get to boot into recovery mode. My tablet it working with ICS ota running. I just want to update to as more modern ROM.

Alright I am new here and dont know if this has been addressed yet

but my problem is I have update 11.1 and did not know this was beta(manually updated from asus sight) but now I want to update to .14 and cannot. Also read that updateing to .13 then .14 will work but .13 is no longer available.

My unit is not rooted and I would like to get back to recieving ota updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shadowbaine:
looks like you may need to follow the instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492887

It's easier than it looks, as long as the drivers are correctly installed. I actually used ADB in the PrimeTime 4.1 Folder and it work great.

With drivers I mean Windows has installed the Android Composite ADB Interface correctly. Also to do this you WILL need root, so use PrimeTime 4.1, root it and then copy the blob over to the SD card, run ADB with the command mentioned and it will work.

What Prime is it? WW? US? Either way get the .11 Update from Asus website, if it's US, you are in luck and the .14 Update has already been uploaded. Install as normal, by copying .14 file over to the Prime and Install via normal (un-rooted) means.
[General Questions and Answers] pppppp:
Hey, everyone!

I was perusing the forums for

sim

unlocking an HTC 7 pro. Many years have passed since I adquired my 8125, and it is still serving me faithfully. Yes, it is still working :D

Back then we just had to flash the roms, I think the radio part did the trick, and then phone was thus unlocked.

But the couple of hours I spent today looking for some insight only led me to 3rd party sites which charge money for sim unlocks. Those require the carrier to be mentioned in order for them to provide an unlocking code. So I can't just buy a phone off ebay and expect to get a code from those sites. US cellular, for instance, is never listed on them. Besides, $25 is not bucks where I live >.>

Is that really how SIM unlockings are handled here now, or have I just been really unlucky with my skimmings and searches?

TYVM, have a great day!
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
I believe there is no free option in order to get the HTC 7 Pro unlocked, unless you can get the seller to call their cell phone provider to get the code. Most, if not all, windows phones don't have a free option to unlock but I could be wrong on that. But if you already have a HTC 7 Pro I think you're gonna have to cough up some cash and use some unlocking websites...
[General Questions and Answers] pppppp:
Well, thanks for the straight answer.

Oh, no, I don't have one, yet. I was thinking of Buying one off Ebay, used and locked. It is harsh having to pay for switching carriers, but maybe that is what they had intended with their locking in the first place ;)

Hmmm. Do you know, by chance, if this is the norm for smartphones recently, not being able to sim unlock them at home? Or is this device special for that matter? or was it not popular enough to tinker with it?

TY, again. Peace :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
I wouldn't say your device special in regards to that, all phones come SIM locked. Its just some android phones are easier to unlock during the process of rooting phones. I know for my old HTC touch running windows, it was easy to unlock since you basically had to move a couple files. I think windows 7 in general makes it harder in general to unlock as opposed to android.
[General Questions and Answers] azii:
hi, i have Huawi U8150 and it's network locked i can't run all the SIM card.. it can be unlock..?
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
you should post your own thread if you have any questions...yes you can unlock your phone to work with your network provider.

Hello there,

I've flashed this rom on my friend's ACE.

has been tried many roms .. and so far, this rom give more battery life compared to others rom. :D

The comparison are

RadonMod V2.0 = 6hrs ++(wifi,3g,etc) = still have 60%

Others (2/3 roms) = 6hrs ++ (wifi,3g,etc) = almost 30%

I know the battery life kinda short for both, but it seems like have some improvement on this rom :)

Will keep testing on other part .. :)

Otherwise i dont know if a other kernel would be recommendable, like this: zImage-Mod or this Cyano Ace Kernel by ketut But this can be realized with a optional patch too. :cool:

The rest is perfect for me. ;)

And when a new launcher comes everything is good. The current adw-launcher in the rom hangs sometimes after turning on the screen.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] hydraprime:
I suppose this rom was meant to be bareboned. I just use another music app, such as miui.

market works fine; it auto updated to Google play. syncing google calendar requires the apk which was posted by someone earlier in the thread.

not much different from FAT other then barebone.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] BiNiCKNiCH:
Thats nice because i've problems to update superuser app without the superuser update fix. Do you can even include the newest version (v3.0.7)?

Then Link2SD lag sometimes but a reebot resolved the problem to load the apps on link2sd.

I think the VO-1 release is a lillte bit faster than the F.A.T release. :)

And I find the PheonixLauncher not so good. I have found no way to change the dock icons/shortcuts. I'm go back to adw from the first version. The newest adw ex forced close when I open the settings.
