You need to be rooted to use this fix mate! :)

You can search for 'root (ur device name)' to know how it is done. And please read before attempting anything.

Hi! Have you tried to restore your EFS ?

Do you have a backup of your EFS folder on your computer or on your ext card? If yes, try this with Root explorer or the one u have :

1) Open the EFS folder you had saved on your computer/ext card. In efs/imei, look for the keystr file. If you have it :

2) Put your copy of your EFS folder at the root of your sd card or on your ext card

3) Go to the root folder of your mobile and delete the corrupted EFS folder

4) Reboot

5) Move the copy of the efs folder you had put on your sd or ext card to the root folder to replace the former corrupted one

6) Reboot

Please don't bother hogging on NDS4DROID, the developer got too greedy and wanted money but didn't want to work on it even though it ran only on 2 fps for 10 dollars.

He has no intentions on releasing the year old source code since he is afraid that others will profit from it and is now currently working on dead beat mobile projects.

And as for TIGERLabs, well they are known for not giving a **** about further developing their projects.

A good friend of mine supposedly shut off his A500 during a upgrade/update. The unit still powers on but all I can get it to show is "boot verified failed..." in the upper-left corner of the Acer screen. I've downloaded several ROMs and tried reflashing from the SD card but no luck in reviving this. All I get is the Android triangle. I've reformatted the SD card. I've tried the Vol + power + screen lock stuff, too. I can't get to any other screen to change any settings... period. Many of the ROMs that I would like to try are dead links now that the government has shut them down. This is a US unit. Would someone be kind enough to direct me to where I can get the right stock ROM so I can at least get this thing running for him?

Thanks for your response and it DOES look like it would work... IF I could access anything on the tablet - like enabling USB Debugging, etc. I can't get to it. What I need is something I can flash or boot right from the SD card as that's the only thing I have access to.

with this you do not need to have access to nothing. Download the file From the thread above to your windows pc. OPEN THE Zip file. it will have all the tools and A VERY DETAILED set of instructions. Find the instruction file and fallow it.

Many people have used this with ease. If you want help just flashing another.zip file. post the rom that was on the tablet . the recovery installed as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] gjtoth:
OK, I tried it out and it doesn't pick up the tablet as I don't think USB debugging is enabled and I have no way to enable it. That's why I'm asking for a method to flash it from the SD card.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The release by HTC of an unlockable bootloader (v 1.51.0000) for the Droid Eris has created a potential opportunity for rescue of some soft-bricked Eris handsets.

Are you an owner of one of these units? There is a decent chance of recovery back to a working state!

(Props go to Android Forums user "scotty85" for figuring this out.)

This (v 1.51.0000) bootloader is rather quirky - it does not allow direct flashing of individual partitions using fastboot - but it does allow flashing of zip files containing recovery, boot, and system partitions via fastboot with the phone in "RUU mode" once the bootloader is unlocked with a procedure from HTC.

If your phone can be booted into its' bootloader (HBOOT, FASTBOOT, or RUU mode), but can not successfully boot all the way up - or it gets stuck in a bootloop during booting, and you only have a stock recovery on the phone, this might be the approach for you.

Rather than write up the whole method to begin with, I'll just ask for responses to see if anyone is interested. And then take it from there if I get some nibbles.

If you think you have a phone you want to try to rescue, speak up - and say a few words about whether the phone can get into different bootloader modes, which bootloader version you have on the phone, and so forth.

Note: at the moment, getting this to work requires getting the fastboot program running on your PC - it is not a phone-only method. The amount of effort at the command line is minimal, but you will need to be able to get your PC talking to your phone to do this.

I have a friend who is in this exact situation. Any help you can provide would be great.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotty1223:
not much to add. if the notion of downloading the sdk,installing fastboot,adb,etc. is a bit overwhelming you can use this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?hzf1u4bowjewhdq it contains adb and fastboot,and a utility called md5sums,and the needed files to make them work.

simply download,extract(unzip),and place the extracted folder onto the root of the C drive on your PC.

open a command window in windows 7 by clicking the start bubble,and type "command" in the search box. i believe xp is the same,or similar.

once you have a small,black command window open,you can change to the "mini-adb" directory by typing this command:

cd c:\mini-adb

you can call that folder anything you want,but when you "cd" to it,you must type the exact name the folder is called.

for drivers to get the eris recognized by the PC,you can install htc sync,or use these modified htc drivers from revolutionary public wiki

just holler if you have any questions with any of the above :)
