Flash the original rom and go through the unlocking process, s-off your phone, flash recovery, copy rom to phone and flash, do a nand back up first, shouldn't be a problem, use a stable rom to flash first.

If your already s-off, might be the boot image, will need to flash it again if thats the case, copy to sd and fastboot, then run the flash boot image command, then flash rom.

turn it off completely, let it charge up ALL the way, find your GSM RUU for the firmware you HAD, run the .exe file, start from scratch. I have a CDMA 3D and this is what I do if something goes horribly wrong and I can't get into anything like the bootloader. hope it helps man

I want to start a thread regarding Gnote Video Recording and i have few questions. I use 720p for recording as i have found the recorded video more stable then in 1080p by meening less wobbly/jelly effect, and I also use the stock app for recordings, I have heard the lgcamera is even better but havent tried yet, i dont use any rate/bitrate hacks. Do you guys use the same setup for video recordings or you have found some better video quality recorded videos with some other setup. My recordings usually have:

VIDEO

Data rate 13000kbps

Total bitrate also 13000kbp

Frame rate 29 F/sec

AUDIO

Bitrate 115kbps

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitman0:
hey all, i'm starting to get into modding my atrix and i have some questions about modifying the system APK's. i've already deodexed /system/app and /system/framework with xUltimate. i'm using APK Manager in linux to decompile the APK's that i want to mod.

the problem comes when i compile the new APK and upload it to /system/app. the stock APK's are signed seemingly with a specific signature that the phone is looking for. APK Manager says to not sign the APK's that you intend to install to /system, but if you do choose to sign it, the certs that are used are not what the atrix is expecting. when i look for errors in logcat, its indicating that the package changed and that its trying to look for the matching cert within /data/secure.

how does one modify these system APK's, and keep the original signature intact? it looks like the manifest contains a sha1-digest signature of each file, which makes just copying/pasting the META-INF into the new APK not an option.

thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert.C:
What I do is decompile to change xml's etc and then recompile without signing and then just drag the edited files from the new APK to the old one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitman0:
so does that mean it doesn't really matter that the sha1 signatures of the changed files dont get updated in the manifest?

is there not an agreed-upon method to do this that doesn't seem so "hacky" ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert.C:
I'm not sure mate. That's the way I found out how to do it and I've done translations and a few themes and framework-res systemui and settings have worked fine doing it the way I do it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlaxin13:
Ok so i've alwasy wondered why booting into recovery, even for the shortest of times absolutely drains my battery life. Just now I booted to recovery just to check something and then restarted the device...i was in recovery for maybe 10 seconds and my battery went from 46% to 12%. Why does this happen? it does so with CM recovery and stock(?) EE recovery as well as whatever recovery is baked into any ROM i've ever used.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil.jansen:
I'd also like to know the answer to this...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
The most likely explanation is that your battery level reading is incorrect. It's like sometimes the system gets confused and gives an incorrect battery reading after a reboot. I've had my battery level drop dramatically and I've also seen it increase after a reboot. After a big drop I usually find that it corrects itself after awhile. It'll remain at the same level for several hours or sometimes even creep back up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2cervin:
I have a NS4g that was flashed to boost. I want to change it back to sprint using the original ESN. However, I did not do the flash originally. It looks like I have it pretty much figured out on how to get it changed back. However, I do not know what the original CDMA, CDMA-2, AMPS or roam values were (when the NS was originally on). Can I leave those values the same considering it will be using the same towers? It looks like the only number that I am unsure about is the IMSI_S.

I understand that the idea of changing a phones carrier is pretty touchy. I am trying to go back to the original way the phone was, so hopefully someone can help me out. I would really appreciate it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigaTiger:
Did you by any chance make a nandroid backup using CWM Recovery of your phone before you flashed to boost? If you have, well great just flash the file in. If not your going to have to talk to your original phone carrier and they will have to go through your phone page by page and tell you the original settings. If your lucky, they might send the default values through sms.

2/ place the file on the micro sd card

3/ turn off the tablet

4/ press the down volume key and the power button at the same time untill the tablets turns on

5/ the iconia will start the upgrade process by itself.

[Acer Iconia A500] drung0418:
Thanks for t_r_j & OldGaf!

This image file really helps.

Compare to ICS COM_GEN1 image file, PA_CUS1 did not bind EC firmware update in it.

Maybe it will (or won't? :D) cause some problems and we will know it later. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] t_r_j:
What is "bind EC firmware"
[Acer Iconia A500] drung0418:
Maybe I should use "include"...

For Acer_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 image file, it also include "EC firmware" update binary in EC\ec.rom & EC\EC_flash and it will done in update progress.

But related binary did not include in PA_CUS1 image file.

I don't really know why they remove EC firmware update in PA_CUS1 image...

Maybe they already done this in 3.1 or 3.2 update for COM_GEN2 user before?

Anyway, I 'll use this image as well. :)

You really did a great jobs, thanks again!

Hi, I've downloaded the update.zip file, copy to sd card but do I must unzip the file in the SD car or keep the file in zip mode. When I push on Power and down volume key , the a500 start normaly, without a recovery screen or update

Please Help

EC = Embedded Controller

It's a silicon chips used for low level power control in computer systems.

EC Firmware, the software who really control the EC working, it works independent to the operation system.

EC Firmware Update, update new EC firmware which include bugfix, bugfix, bugfix and bugfix...

Sometimes OS will require specific EC firmware version to implement some special method, but that is another case.

Because EC firmware update means there is bugfix or control method update in it.

That's why PA_CUS1 did not include these files really make me confused. :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] t_r_j:
Leave it zipped.

You must press and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time.

When you see the acer sign release just the power button.

Then you will see erasing cache now let go of the volume down button.

The volume down button is the button nearest to the power button.

Hope this helps.

For better or worse I updated my A500 and while the update worked, I ran into the dreaded reboot loop. To fit is I had to do a factory reset on my tablet (maybe there is another way?). Now I'm copying everything back to my tablet (because I copied all the visible folders to my pc before starting).

I've likely lost my paradise island progress and swtor keygen save stuff.

[Acer Iconia A500] UniSonBBS:
I haven't tried that, but with the Leaked ICS I was using the new Time Warner Cable TV App that seem to stream some what sluggish. I was hoping the official update would fix it, but I think it's just the limitations of the tablet... Considering there isnt much out there stronger, what do you need to stream video. I have a single core laptop 1.6Ghz and runs it fine.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
EC doesn't need to be installed in every case. In fact, typically once it's been run on a tab, it usually doesn't need to be run again unless there are major changes to it.

If you look at most full rom packages, you will see the folder EC and also see the commands in the install-script. This is assumed the Rom will be installed on a factory device. A lot of modders remove this from the install, as it can on occasion cause issues, although rarely, and it generally isn't needed.

Occassionally, when you have a bricked tab, after restoring and installing a custom rom, a tab may experience battery charging issues, and a wonky display sensitivity. In many cases flashing an EC flash will correct it, although it is considered risky and a last option. Again, these cases are rare.

In the case of a multi-file update, it might be assumed certain Com_Gen's do not require an updated EC Flash. Assumed. Although I have never yet seen a full rom or a full update that didn't contain this. The recent "leaked" multi 4 file update for the 501 contained 2 somewhat full versions of a rom. HC and ICS. PT 1 (HC) contained EC. Pt 3 (patch, contained EC), and part 4 (full ICS) did not have EC.

Who knows why Acer did it this way.......

There is no advantage of this over the OTA update. However for those who are impatient (like myself) and didn't get a OTA notification, it can speed things up.

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

You may want to root your device, backup the data, and see if a hard reset fixes the problem.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

That is exactly how to do it.

Did you put your tablet to sleep (clicked the power button) or turned off (asks if you would like to shutdown). You need to start the update from a turned off tablet (will vibrate when turning on).
[Acer Iconia A500] drung0418:
Hi veer,

To resolve your problem, we need more information about your device.

Please tell us which OS version you update from?

And what is the original OS (Region) in your tablet? COM_GEN1 or COM_GEN2?

This problem only appear on some device, most devices seems works fine.

So we need more detail about problem device.

I've also got the same build so I'm assuming mine is a GEN1. I also cannot get my A500 to start the update process. Is it possible that the power on + volume down method only works for GEN2 devices? And yes, I'm doing this with the device turned off, not on sleep. It just boots normally.
[Acer Iconia A500] riro56:
THAAAAAAAAAANKKKKK You SO MUCH !

Everyone told me The volume - , for me it's the + ( + is the nearest of power button)
[Acer Iconia A500] t_r_j:
The update file must be in the root of the SD card.

Try a newly formated sd card with nothing else on the card.

The tablet must be turned off then you need to press and hold down both the power button and volume down button together do not let them go. keep holding them down until you see the Acer sign release just the power button then when you see in small letters "erasing cache' in the upper lefthand corner you can release the volume down button. The volume down button is the button nearest the power button.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggyboy:
Thanks it's working for me now! Power + Volume UP for my GEN1. Yes this is the button nearest the power... got confused because in the OS that button is volume UP, not down.
[Acer Iconia A500] t_r_j:
Ok everyone!

Here is the issue the volume button that needs to be used is the button nearest the power button!

Volume up or down is relative to how you are holding the tablet i.e. landscape, portrait, power button on top power button to the left to right etc..

The volume button that needs to be pressed is always the one nearest the power button.
[Acer Iconia A500] CraigRat:
Only issue I can see for me is the Google Movies wont play (says device is rooted, but a root check says it isn't)

Not a great loss, but does anyone have an idea why it would be saying that?

It all ran pretty poorly till I did a factory reset, now it's running smooth as silk.

[EDIT: *THIRD REBOOT AND NOW MOVIES ARE OK*]
[Acer Iconia A500] diiorio:
Becarefull flashing over altered bootloaders and leaks.

Some that have altered versions have had issues after the update. From crashing apps, gettign weird report messages on he update screen, and the system not being optimized prior to relaunch.

When you install. It should then reboot. Install the ack, then the the bootloader will be updated, if it doesn't give the confirmation line success.. version confirmed... then issues may accur performance wise.

It then should go to a screen that states optimizing........ 1 of 86 (or close to that dependign on file structure) then a second optimizing threads. IT then reboots to the main screen.

You should also note little tuturial circles when you first use things.

I had to spend time on a friends restting and flashing his with offical bootloaders, and restore hsi devices state becuase the leaked pack he had screwed things up on the Offcial, and it was not as simpel as reflachign HC only. Luckily it is running perfectly now.

[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
Well... mine seems to be well and truly toast...

First attempt, goes in to recovery with the android with the gears and afterwards reboots, but then it gets stuck in a loop at the "android" lettering, occasionally a dialog box appears momentarily, but never long enough to read.

reformatted the sd card, re-loaded the update.zip on it and tried again

Second attempt, seem to have a new recovery, now a 3d android with something spinning around in his stomach, once it completes it reboots, then reboots again, then flashes the "android" text several more times, and then boots to my normal desktop... yay!... oh wait... too soon to celebrate, it now bootloops to there instead of to just the android text...

Third attempt, same as the second.

I guess next step is the one I have become too familiar with... APX mode to wipe it back to some factory rom and try again...

[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
The update itself will not wipe out your programs and files... HOWEVER, if your device is not stock, there's a risk it will brick in some way during the update, and then if it does, the only way to recover will wipe out your programs and files.

So it's up to you if it's worth the risk...
[Acer Iconia A500] t_r_j:
Try and do a factory reset.

You can use a usb keyboard, remove the SD card start like you were going to flash with SD using power and voulme button when you see the android, start tapping the home key. You should see something on your screen let it finish and then you will be at the recovery screen and you can select factory reset.

Or use the power button plus the volume key furthest away from the power button and slide the lock button back and forth a few times it should start a factory reset.
