[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
dont forget the thanks button guys if ive helped.

patrick you obviously have unlocked bootloader...but your partitions are messed. try flashing stock recovery from a HC stock rom...then using the vol - power method hopefully itll flash a stock update.zip. id reccommend the latest ics...but make sure you take out the bootloader and rezip.

keep us posted!

Partitions update...

So... I think I found a way to get my partition information through APX... I will need to get home (about another hr and a half or so...) and test some things on my tablet... :confused:

If I can get the information I need (and as you can see, that is a BIG IF) I *think* I can get something going to *POSSIBLY* get people recovery (or close enough to it)... Just hypothetically of course, I have to test it but I think that I was pushing the bootloader.bin with the wrong command and trying to combine it with the wrong boot.img since my partition information may be mixed up (I have been using the info from my A500).

Anyways, IF this works I will post some information with those of you brave enough... I will be testing this and sharing the information with ptesmoke (just in case one of us cannot get to your question fast enough, the other may be available... :D jejeje)

Please understand that I am not the type to just throw commands at your face and hope for the best, most of what I post is because I have tried it or am confident enough to give you that advise. I am NOT sharing my theories at this time because I dont want to cause complete bricks... There is still hope and I dont want to be the one to take that away, not yet... jejeje

I will post back as soon as I have more information... Hopefully TONIGHT :eek: ... jejeje :cool:

EDIT 1: Anyone that can get to APX... can you run this for me and pm what you get please:

nvflash -r --getpartitiontable partitiontable.txt

This is just one of the thoughts to extract my partitions table... if it works, I can extract them possibly WITH SIGNATURE... again, all speculation...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jayapalravi:
Don't we need the SBK to issue this command? My understanding is, we need SBK to communicate anything via nvflash.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mapaz04:
Yeah, I know... just thought some people may have been successful in doing some form of communication... again, thats why I like to test first... jejeje

Anyways... Im trying some things with the A500 commands and drivers... they seem to be quite similar... Thanks.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
yes we need sbk...which is where im stuck...but all conventional methods of finding the cpuid are not working. im currently sniffing usb data with the euu. all i know is our cpuid is 16 characters....lets hope i find it lol.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jayapalravi:
I could able to retrieve the CPUID (assuming the ADB serial# is CPUID with 0x0, as per a500 forums) using USBDeview (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html), but still no luck with EUU / NVFlash, I keep getting the following error.

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)

NVFLASH DOWNLOAD FAIL.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ktmdavid229:
So it looks like I have a brick also. Running the newest ICS leak and when I woke up this morning it was off and wouldnt turn on. Left it charging while I went to work. Got home and it'll turn on and get stuck at the Acer logo.

I've tried running a couple different updates with no luck. Just seems so odd that it happened overnight just sitting there....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] patrick_spd4u:
How I get the stock recovery from a HC stock rom? Is it the one from the EUU?

After flashing TWRP recovery from CWM recovery, I still can't get the mounting working. Are you sure this stock recovery will work? I'm afraid I can't flash the TWRP/CWM anymore without custom recovery on.

I'll try it as soon as possible
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
Isn't SN your CPUID. I was read something about it in this forum, don't remember where already.But this is the number wich is connected to your registration in acer (if you made it).

Anyway this number isn't 16 characters it's 22 characters long and you have it also on the back of the box on your tab.

For example mine is: SNID: 15104818413 (that is seen from adb devices or lsusb and is 11 characters long) and the other one is SN: XEH6REN0211410C0201300 (that is 22 characters long and this is what i see in acer site)

Sorry for my english!But I hope you will understand what I mean.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
i understand and no its neither of those. i have some stuff to try after work today :-D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
ill get you the files after work. stock recovery may be able to flash an update.zip and repartition your tab. so long as you dont flash a bootloader your ok.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
I did little more searches and i found what number you searching for that one from dmesg "androidboot.serialno=038061c0423f3417" right?

Sorry for previous post.

I will write mine now if something nasty happen with my tab.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
yea...ive done this too..but it is also the same number usbdeview gives me. and doesnt work. i have a module and a method to get the kernel to pull it so im testing that tonight. downside is you need a running kernel to do it. but if it works hopefully i can find a way to get it from an apx mode device..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] patrick_spd4u:
How long it takes? Still at this screen after 5-10 minutes ago:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
Alright I'm in fast boot as Acer Acer fast boot interface the boot loader is unlocked by when I try to fast boot flash recovery I am cannot determine file img and neither product specified nor Android product out?

I can reboot in fast boot though
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
OK now when I try to flash the recovery img it is locked error 0x2
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
what?

when in fastboot does the top of your screen say "unlock mode"?

doesnt sound like it is..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jayapalravi:
You can flash in fastboot, only if you have this message "Bootloader v0.03.06-ICS(UnlockMode): Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" in the screen, when your A100 is put on fastboot mode.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
No I think its locked it says BL v0.03.13 ICS the device was on flex then the owner flashed the ICS leak over it I am thinking to rename flex ROM update.zip but not sure at this point I cannot push anything to it through fast boot any ideas
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
what recovery is on it. since it seems its locked...id guess stock recover if he flashed the update stock.

can u get into ics?

if not and your stock recovery is working....do the update.zip method and reflash the stock ics rom. then unlock the bootloader once u have a fresh flash and bootable rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
Having the same issue ....reading thread
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
dude its because the bootloader is locked...therefore fastboot is locked out and you cant use it to flash.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
I know that, I am trying to get it unlocked. What I am asking, is anyone having any luck at this stage with the BL....Dude
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
Jay

Jay you are having the same issue yes? The BL was unlocked prior to this mess and now its locked
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
dude...dont take offense! just trying to help you.

the only way it could be relocked is if someone reflashed a stock rom that reflashed a bootloader. in which case...unless u have adb...your not unlocking it from a locked fastboot. your best bet...if your recovery is working...is to flash an update.zip off the sdcard.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jayapalravi:
Yes now its locked, you can try to update to ICS from SD as ptesmoke said, but for me flashing from SD it is not working.

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

Hey ptesmoke, do u have any update regarding this... Sorry bit curious...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
no it didnt work...it was written for an older kernel...im in the process of downgrading to Hc and updating OTA to ics, then ripping the STOCK A100 bootloader...and see what i can do from there. no promises.. lol
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
Nobody is taking offense dude. The update.zip is not working either
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
Flashing from SD is not working here either
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
ptesmoke do you have advance with this?

And something else ... so with this androidboot.serialno you generate the SBK from vache Androonay site and is not working right?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mapaz04:
yep...

Then numbers generate but you cant use them yet

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

Its not communicating like it should :mad: . Got drivers from the A500 to listen (I think) but I cant get commands out yet :eek: ... I had asked for that as a test...

I still need the partitions table if anyone knows a way to get it...

There is a tool for the A500 that compiles some of this... mainly the images into one flashable nv-file... I can make one and have someone test it with the CURRENT information I have for the partitions but... APX is a nasty thing and if I have the wrong partition configuration, it WILL rearrange your partitions... And that is my concern at this time...

Also, I havent tested for sure since there is a high chance of bricking my device if it does not work... :eek:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
the flash.cfg vache posted as well as the flash.cfg in the euu have all the partitions.

i think the a200 bootloader bl messed up the cpuid. im using a bone stock a100 now for testing. i probably wont be back on this thread until i have big news. cheers
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] patrick_spd4u:
How if I flash an A100 bootloader (from the EUU)? Will it help? Will it solve the mounting problem?

Thank you.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
That's the same file with the same md5sum

In the EUU package also have two flash scripts Windows and Linux version, both have same nvflash commands except --odmdata (0x100c0105/0x300A0011)

--odmdata should to configure specific hardware functions on the device right?But why is diferent?Shouldn't be it's the same device ... that confuses me

And why the both scripts don't use --sbk?

I'm affraid a little because my device is working but i will test it in apx tommorow.It's too late here already (or early).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] patrick_spd4u:
I have an idea:

- A Recovery that can read update.zip from external sources (USB from PC), so we don't need the /sdcard/ or /external_sd/.

- A Recovery that will fix the mounting process.

- Finally, A Recovery that can get the CPU ID.

The mounting gets very deep though, even flashing from update.zip failed, and I think the mounting in that is done by the bootloader.

I'm thinking to restore to stock A100 bootloader (with fastboot), but I'm too afraid since I can't access fastboot from that. If after the restoration of bootloader, the mounting still fails, it will make the situation worse.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
follow the hc downgrade instructions. fastbooting the bootloader leads to a brick...the a200 bootloader changed somethin wrong
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] patrick_spd4u:
Would you give me the link please?

is somebody trying to do this still? maybe i have no choice anymore.. i need to go to the service center.. :( maybe next month ... still need money.. this stinks.. nearest service center for acer service center here is 55 kms.. :( euus doesnt recognize my cpuid.. :(
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MJHawaii:
Update

Bump...anything new? Anyone find a way around the relocked bootloader it seems that that is where we are stuck.:eek:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ArtIsMe89:
im having the same problem with my acer a100...ive tried everything in the other posts...its reunlocking the bootloader that im having a problem with i can only boot into fastboot when i try to boot into ics it gets stuck and the acer logo
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hdemel:
My A100 also bricked itself while asleep. I don't understand how it happened. Has any progress been made into this? Any hope? My A100 is out of warranty so fixing it is my only option.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Scrops:
I also have an Acer A100 stuck in apx mode. I have the EUU downloaded but cannot find the working CPUID. I checked all the registry locations on my laptop that I've read could potentially contain this ID but none pass the EUU verifiication. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've also pulled the temporary directory that is generated when running the EUU and found all the .bin and .img files I need but nvflash won't work from the command line without the key generated from the CPUID.

Did anyone ever have any success with this method without knowing the CPUID of the tablet?

Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
No, we don't have the method to get the sbk from the cpuid for the a100, nvflash isn't possible.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Scrops:
Thanks for the info and the speedy reply. I've always been impressed with the helpfulness of the people here. I assume, also, that this means there is no market value for an a100 stuck in APX mode. I'm ready to be rid of it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Not really, though I've been wanting to experiment on a bricked a100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Scrops:
I'm currently working with a sympathetic level 2 tech with Acer, who might honor it as a warranty swap since it happened just after applying their system ota. If I get nowhere, I might have one for you.

I've read that MSL doesn't work or read correctly on AOKP so that's probably why you end up with whatever the 2 black boxes represent lol.
[Epic 4G General] pacoz:
I think those "menus" don't work with ics YET....so what I would do is just odin back to stock then use the "secrert menu" (I think that's what its called). Then go back to custom rom. There is a zip file floating around that "temporarly" puts the phone into stock...then reboots right back to your custom rom. Gotta READ.READ. and READ.lol.
[Epic 4G General] kennysvgp08:
I did it that way by booting the FC09 stock. But thanks for helping :)

Font size in style.xml of framework-res or twframework-res

But Mostly it is in style.xml or in side a xml in layout-abcxyz folder of each apk

Detail:

with system apk: most using style in framework

So just find TextAppearance and change font size

<style name="TextAppearance.Medium" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">[COLOR="Red"]18.0sp[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
</style>

If an apk dont use style.xml to define font side, you have to change font size in layout folder

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwelito_88:
Hi guys, i am currently using Rocket Rom v23 and abyss kernel. At first my bluetooth device (wp 250 creative headset) is working just fine. But after several days the bluetooth is not working anymore even though it can recognize the device but when i connect it there is no music playing.

i tested my bluetooth device and it works on my sgs and itouch

i tested my galaxy note bluetooth to pair with sgs and it works

-what i did to resolve it before was to go back stock rom then v22 to v23 but it is hell of a work.

can u pls help me to work around this issue? thank u
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
I remember I had this problem with Sennheisser MM100 headphones a while back. From memory I unpaired and removed the device, then re-paired the phones. I may have done a reboot of the note after I unpaired the device, can't remember as it was a long time ago. I have not had a problem since.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surepal55:
I have the same problem as kwelito_88. I managed to use my Creative WP-250 headset for just 3 weeks before it decided to stay mumb on me.

I "unpair" the headset with my phone but now my phone just couldn't see this headset when it scans for devices.

Any one out there know how to get both gadgets working again? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
Do you have a BT laptop you can try pairing your Note with? If it works that will rule out the Note as the problem.

You've probably already fully charged the headset and checked that they are definitely in pairing mode so that the Note can see them? My Sennheisers are bit touchy and didn't go into pairing mode properly until I pressed harder on the switch button.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surepal55:
Thanks! I can now confirm the Note is not the problem.. it pair & connect to my BT laptop easily.. So the Creative wp-250 headset is where the fault is. Guess I won't be looking at Creative products for a while.

Hmm. I have a duff/non-compliant Jabra headset too. That tip with pairing with "known good" worked a treat.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sepharite:
Avoid this screen protector, it's supposedly makes the screen oil free, or at least oil-resistant. It does neither. It's just like any other screen protector. I was using the SGP crystal clear, which actually looks better for some reason, and was practically the same item.

I wouldn't recommend buying this screen protector for it's "oil-resistant" properties. It got scratched a little already while I was squeezing the bubbles out.

Good thing about this is, the protector is washable. I literally washed my Crystal clear protector with soap and water, and it went back on perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lambstone:
I've used this before switching to ultra optics. The oleophobic coating works pretty darn well initially but it did wear off much sooner than desired.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sepharite:
How's Ultra Optics? I've used Matte protectors before and they tend to pixelate the screen a little with the rainbow effect. Is it the same thing?

Maybe the coating already worn out. It's been a day lol. But the phone's always in my sweaty pockets.

The only thing I would change is the pixel density, but hey, it's a low-end phone. I think my next phone will be the One V anyway.
[HTC Wildfire S] Henry_01:
Looking good, although I want to last as long as possible with my WFS.

Especially useful for porting sense 4, no resizing needed, only a new kernel :)

Skipping sense 3.5 now but will give version 4 a try, HTC seems to have done some nice things.

I would maybe buy it if it had a hdpi screen in a 3.2 inch screen and a removable battery with lots of capacity which can stand 3 to 4 days. Also HD video recorder would be nice.

In my opinion, smartphones can be thick, (1cm or more) if there is a large battery in it.
[HTC Wildfire S] benjamingwynn:
This is good because I now have a new phone that I can buy in aprox. 6 months

This is also good because we WANT A LEAKED RUU so we can port this little thing. I'm guessing it will not be full, flat out sense 4 as it is massive and won't fit on anything less than 1GB if you want usable space. I would guess a modified Sense 3.6 and not 4.0 if this is not confirmed. If it is confirmed then I would love to know the storage space.

- Benjamin
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
I doubt HTC is still developing Sense 3.X or planning to lay it over ICS. Moreover, the source article claims it will have Sense 4. My guess is that the Golf/Wildfire C will have scaled-back Sense 4 like the One V. It certainly looks the same in the screenshot.
