[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Yeah the tablet starts up and runs fine, didn't brick it. And it seems to have flashed something, but whatever it flashed doesn't work. I didn't check to see if the nvflash process was still running.

How long should the kernel flash take (So I know not to wait 40 minutes if it happens again)?
[Acer Iconia A500] meduza:
@gersma,

thank you for the replay! I`ll tray what you suggested.

I don`t think it is the card reader or the SD it self. After removing and inserting it works like it all ways done... .

@kdagia,

it should be no problem! I upgraded the bootloader from HC to ICS being on tegraowners ICS. After Civato confirmed that it works.

m.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
10-20 seconds at most, that is when it states "flashing kernel"

the whole flashing process shouldn't take more than a minute to complete all the steps.

about bricking, this device is very hard to brick IF YOU HAVE YOUR SBK AT HAND !
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Yeah I have the SBK and everything backed up just in case.

So my process will be when I try again to do the Install on kernel 1.033 and after thats done go into recovery and install the rooting file you have. That will give me a rooted stock ICS tablet with CWM right?

I'll download the new v1.05 as well. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] kdagia:
Hi Everyone.

After tests confirm that afterota will work on custom roms.

PROVIDED WE HAVE UPDATED ALL ACER USB DRIVERS/ANDROID SDK FILES ON OUR COMPUTER.

Thanks Gersma
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
so disable uac and REBOOT pc, cause when you disable it it is only disabled on next reboot. Try to disable your antivirus as well, i work with microsoft security essentials and that one doesnt interfear with the flashing process, but i dont know about other AV.

I think its because there are hidden console windows running in the background (adb.exe and nvflash.exe) and whele the AV investigates the console windows, and at the same time freezes them, by that time nvflash could be crashed. So its imperative nothing interfears with the flashing process.

Even so i never flashed anything, not even computer biosses, smartphones, or whatever with uac or antivirus scanners on.

Good luck

version 1.05 should pick the right kernel for your ics build. let me now if it does so.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
I use MS Security essentials as well, other AV programs just bog down your PC. I had UAC stopped when I did it last time (it wouldn't even run with UAC on), so I will do that again, reboot, and give it a shot, I'll let you know if it works.
[Acer Iconia A500] epunk:
not anymore, not since v1.04, which disables flashing if ics build is not recognized.

Unless you edit the build.prop ro.build.display.id field,but I dont have the balls to try :D
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Thats not true. It disables stock kernel flashing when your ics build is not a stock or ota build. Flashing bootloaders & recoveries is still posible. It would be crazy dont you think that when a user with flexreaper (witch has a tweaked kernel already) would flash a stock kernel over it, when flexreapers kernel would be the reason (for overclocking etc) for having flexreaper in the first place...

This is only to protect users against themselves. Not everybody thinks 10 times before clicking a button. And for the ones who jus joined xda, all the information provided can be quite overwhelming due to the strange terminology (flash, kernel, bootloader, recoveries, sysrw patched, etc...) and the overkill of information.

This program is for simplifying things a bit.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Nice updates m8 , and the light version , sweet.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Civ is it working for Ubuntu
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Thanks man.

Ps : with v7, the ics part should work on a501 too? But what about the hc bootloader v0.03.01-HC, does that on work on a501 or do they have a different version too?
[Acer Iconia A500] Fox05:
Can I use this program to revert ICS bootloader to HC bootloader?
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Yes and no.

Yes if you intend to go back to full stock honeycomb (tab2) through update zip method

No if you use tab2 to go back to stock honeycomb recovery and bootloader but stay afterwards on ics. You gonna get yourself into trouble.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fox05:
I meant that if I go back to HC bootloader I could flash a HC ROM, root it and put on CWM and flash a custom ICS ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
No
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
For v7 it works on A500/501/G100W and you don't need to use different bootloader_apx.bin to install them , with the a501 and a500 HC bootloader I still put 2 different bootloaders and 2 different bootloader_apx.bin to install them.

In the guide they bootloader_apx.bin for the HC bootloader flash are called dlmodelhc or something like that , not home now so can't check the name I gave them.

No not in that order?

Download a custom ics rom , put it on your tablet.

Now with otatool you install the unlocked ICS bootloader with custom recovery.

Now you install the custom ICS rom ( that supports ics bootloader) that is on your tablet and install with your custom cwm.

That simple.

Edit,

Just remember you can do this with this tool but it is build for after OTA .

I used this tool more then ones to just flash a unlocked bootloader and all works fine, but it is impossible to build a 100% user error free tool. So don't blame gersma if you messed up.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fox05:
Ok thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Using 1.06 now, UAC is off, running the program as administrator, etc. It still hangs on "3/4 Flashing Kernel" the program is not frozen, it just never finishes. It is picking the correct version for my build (1.033). not sure what else to do.

I have to yank the cable and reboot the tablet but it works fine. If I try to boot to recovery I still just get the dead android graphic.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Perhaps try reinstalling the driver manually by going into afterotas dir in the folder acdrv. If all doesnt work i will provide you with a commandline script so you can see what goes wrong.

Good luck.

Edit : i think i might have encountered that once and if i remember well i went back to full stock, using tab2. With the update.zip from ota ics. It could be that something is corrupted on the tablet and doing the ota thing tends to repair these problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] tresed:
Hi

I have a couple of questions.

1) I have my CPUID, and I used it many times for operations on my tablet, so I'm sure is right.

The CPUID displayed by the program is completely different from mine, as you can?

2) when i go on form ICS does not have the opportunity to do nothing, why?

P.S.

Acer Iconia A501

recovery 1.7.3

[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
dont use it when it displays the wrong information, also this is for people who come from after ota, if you read wel the op it states : dont use it on other configurations or the program can go haywire, so with your tablet it obviously goes haywire

you cant do anything because adb is getting the wrong information from your kernel, which isnt ota ... or stock, so the program asumes you are on honeycomb :-)

obviously you didnt read the warnings on top of the post : ONLY FOR OTA
[Acer Iconia A500] othar:
hello

i have a probleme with the drivers of my a500..

i had a problem during the installation of the drivers.

the drivers is not properly installed but the setup didn,t see the drivers and when i click to reinstall it, the setup refuse to do it because the driver is not installed..

i think afterota save a command line parameterson my pc to force the reinstallation of the drivers but i can,t find where..

so now, i'm blocked.. i can,t install the drivers because it try always to reinstall the drivers

sorry for my english
[Acer Iconia A500] tresed:
:D:D:D

You're absolutely right.

I read somewhere else that it was a simple and affidadile, but not that was only for OTA.

Thanks, however, the response ...
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
I am re thinking the program right now. Already wrote a module that seems to work in strange configurations, like yours. Perhaps in the near future, it will work for everybody.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Tried reinstalling the drivers but no luck.

How would I flash back to stock if it won't flash a kernel at all, apparently.

Can we try the command line script?

Hello I wanted to know how to change the boot logo from A500 to packard bell help me?

Inviato dal mio Iconia A500 usando XDA Premium HD app
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
You can already find a PackardBell (PB, G100W) version of the V7 bootloader in gersma's AfterOTA v1.06 package. It includes the PackardBell writing in white on black background. I have generated an alternate version of gersma's PB V7 bootloader using Skrilax's A500BootLogo-Tool (see attachment, please unzip before using). This version has the red PB-Symbol plus packard bell writing in black as you can find it on the PB webpage (jpg file also in the zip archive). However, this icon has a white background, and also the size is quite restricted (268x72). If you want to try (at your own risk, of course), you may flash the attached V7 ICS bin file with gersma's AfterOTA software as custom bootloader (together with a custom recovery).

With best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
This is the situation : scrilax's v7 of the ics bootloader is compatible with Hc roms and Ics roms. This simplifies things. No need to have a seperate Hc or Ics tab in the program. So all users will be able to install one bootloader and a recovery of choice for usage on Hc and Ics. After that Everybody should be able to flash Hc and Ics cwm roms back and forth without a glitch.

Im trying to get this unfied version of the program ready for tonight or tomorrow. It will be hopefully be better in getting the values and id's for the "android jungle" out there. It should work on A500, A501 and G100W tablets, wether they are on stock hc or ics. I hope it will work too for the people who are on hc bootloader with custom roms (eg. Flexreaper) installed, but no garanties there.

Gonna continue coding now, and wont be visiting xda again, until its ready. Need to be focussed right now.

:-)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Gersma please read changlog for V7 , it only works for ICS roms , the only difference is that it supports the a500 and a501 , no need for 2 different versions of ICS bootloaders.

[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You know that if you have v4 and up you can do bootloader updates with cwm!

[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
On the 'stock' tab you can click one of the two buttons, this will install the stock honeycomb bootloader v3.01 and its stock bootloader that came with honeycomb 3.01. Once the flash has completed you should prepare a sdcard with an update.zip that comes straght from acer. A link to full packets can be found on the stock tab too, together with a little explication. Once downloaded a full packet, you will need to decrypt that zip, and get the update.zip out of it and put it on the root of your sdcard.

Then shutdown your tablet, and reboot it while pressing and holding the vol down button. That will automaticly start the stock flash process.

When all is done it is possible that android wont boot, depends on the system that is currently on it. You will then need to do a hard reset and thats a bit tricky, heres a link that shows you how to do it : http://www.hard-reset.com/acer-iconia-tab-a500-hard-reset.html

You need to do only the first 4 lines of that guide : resetting your acer a500 tablet.

Hi all, new ROOT android user here. I am running Juggernaut 5.0 (2.3.6) with the kernel it came with, and LB7 Blaze radio.

I am sorry for being a noob, just not too good with this yet. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I just want something different. I love the look of ICS versus the functionality of GB roms on this device. ICS roms are still ports and have major bugs. I just want something stable with a nice look. If anyone knows how to or would take the time to explain if I can make the icons look like that then that would be great and much appreciated.
