[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
reset did work, but it gave the "boot verified fail error".

there was no white writings on bootup, boot was halted at the above red-lettered error.

On a hunch I put Acer_A501_0.000.00_4.037.01_EMEA_TMPL as update.zip...and it flashed & booted afterwards!

I'm on a stock HC3.2 A501 now.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
oh sorry you're a 501'er (rollback to HC link is for a500 but will work for you in that it will get you cwm to flash u back to 501 land!)

so you're all good now??
[Acer Iconia A500] sachingani:
About brick

The OS or version which you have downloaded may have problem. Do update official version. brick means your phone completely shuts down. will not even start.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
i think he got it sorted
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
all good, dibb_nz. The exact why & how still elude me, that's life ehh.

Thanks for helping! That includes you, MD !
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
well yr boot image got screwed with and flashing the HC update zip put it back again:) don't forget to grab yr CPUID while you're there - its the only way of knowing for sure you have the right one!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Like I said.... you still got paddles!!!

Glad to see things got sorted for everybody!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
WOW! You mean it really worked? I was just guessing ;)

Nah, really, the fastboot is a good option to the new bootloaders. Can really save a lot of time with some things. Glad it's running well now!
[Acer Iconia A500] xgutterratx:
when i try to use apx it never moves off the black screen whith the white power light.

i am going to try fastboot method in about 3hours when i get home.

the recovery image i have is from an old clockworkmod back up is this going to be right to use, or is there somewhere i can get the correct file.

another thought i had is there anyway i can tell if it was a backup from my a500 just incase is from my galaxy 1900 s
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Don't do what I think you are going to do.

When we say "recovery image", we are not talking about something from a recovery backup. We are talking about A CWM, TWRP, Public, or now it seems RA custom image. NOT something that was a backup.

What you want to do, is try to get into Fastboot mode. (Vol+ & PWR). If you have the new unlocked Bootloader, you should be able to get to this mode. If successful, it will say "fastboot mode".

or

With Tab in APX mode, check your PC Device Manager and make sure when you plug tablet in USB, it shows as a Recovery Device. If it doesn't then the PC's drivers aren't working.

Anyhow, I also will be back home in 2 or 3 hrs, so you may wish to wait..
[Acer Iconia A500] xgutterratx:
thanks for all your help. ill wait for you to get home.

i have checked my drivers and they seem to be correct.

the backup file i have is from a backup i diid in the recovery menu its in a clockworkmod folder.

can you please post a link to a correct image file i should use.
[Acer Iconia A500] xgutterratx:
Just got home and thought i would try apx method you suggested above ,and again it just stays on a black screen with the power light white does not go into a download mode.

im pretty sure i have the right drivers installed

this is other info i have that maybe of use.

in the zip file there a recovery_thor17_403.img is this the file i should use for fastboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, recovery drivers look ok.

Yes, you can use that recovery image in the zip file. Lot's of other types of recovery's but that one will do.

Not sure whether you will be successful, as it still shows you have an HC bootloader. Only the ICS bootloaders have fastboot, But give it a try.

Always keep your UID numbers. It changes after ICS gets running.
[Acer Iconia A500] xgutterratx:
it only took 2 seconds but i can now boot into recovery mode

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You're welcome.

You may want to post this question on Civato's Rom thread. He knows more about what's good for your current system.

regards!

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
Yes, I did that (verifying the CPUID I noted was indeed correct, it was)

After the dust settled, I tried A500APXFlash again, with the bootldr & reco that MD posted a few pages ago, again the same thing happened! And the solution was again flashing the update.zip.

I'm a bit wary of flashing anything right now, but I'm also itching to get root...but how??
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Still can't get NVFlash working right? Honestly I don't have an answer. Maybe the Devil is in your tab :eek:

Info. Germsa just posted a newer version of AfterOTA today which works with HC bootloaders now. (no, I have no need to be the proverbial lab rat) ;)

Not sure if it'll help you, but might be worth a shot.

Or, you could install the Stock ICS Rom from Civato's thread. Maybe that will shake things up a little. It's fa an a500 though (so no 3g or GPS on a 501).

MD

EDIT: Out of curiousity, what PC Platform are you using? I know there's Win7 Pro, and the new consumer review of Win8, so am not sure if that might be an issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
Thx for still offering things to try, MD!

PC is win7 home-premium 64bit.

Does stock ICS from Civato also contain a bootloader & recovery , since I'm now kinda stuck on stock HC with locked BL & no recovery...
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hmmmm.... Home Premium should be no issue. Same as I run (tempted to try Win8 tho).

Civato has 2 in his guide thread I believe. 1 stock (w/stock bootloader) and another pre-rooted, but you probably can't run the latter though.

I would guess that if you can find a method to install a good ICS Update.zip, you may be in business to use the root packages. But I don't know.

Currently, there are a couple of users that just cannot get the unlocked bootloaders to NVFlash. Nobody knows why yet, although 1 knows his NVFlash commands, so it puts out more info when trying. Maybe that will give a clue as to what's going on and a fix will come out for it.

In the meantime, just hang loose and see what develops in the next few days.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
Since I was on HC 3.2.1 and unable to nvflash my way into a rooted device with recovery, I decided to try the 'old-fashioned' way : revert to unstable HC 3.0.1, obtain root, flash a recovery with Acer Recovery Installer, flash Alexandra III.

I used the guide here : How to gain root access on Iconia Tab A500 Running HC 3.2.1

And it worked.

@MD : now that I'm merrily paddling down a river, in the company of your excellent Alexandra III, what options do I have to try for an UNL BL & Fastboot?

TIA,

Tom.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You know, you're going to be a pro on this flashing thing.

Tell you what I saw tonight. As you can see, there were/are a few tabs that just can't flash the bootloader. Interesting, as 1 user solved his problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27019574&postcount=6

Not sure exactly what he did, but you may want to send him a PM and see if he has some advice.

He said he used TimmyDeans tool (root tool) to recreate his partitions. Not exactly sure what he meant by that, as the tool basically installs an HC a500 rom for root.
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
well, that worked.

The command output is here, might be of interest to some one.

For future reference , this does completely wipe your device! Don't just try this without realising your datas will be sent to /dev/null .

It left the A501 on a rom HC 3.2.1 (for A500) Rooted, which is normal as per TimmyDean's method. From there, _finally_ A500APXFlash worked normally.

I can now flash any BL & Recovery I want.

Thx again Moscow Desire for showing me the available options!
[Acer Iconia A500] duryard:
Hi Guys. Brilliant thread.

Here is my situation and could do with some help please

I have done every method of trying to get a unlocked bootloader on My A500.

I can get intp apx mode but that's it. It will not go into bootloader mode.

I have checked as many settings as I can and can see the device on adb devices and with both blackthunder tools. I have done civs chicken **** tut but all results are the same as soon as it is supposed to boot into bootloader I get zilch. Just a black screen and tab disconnects from pc and is sort of hung in apx mode white light on but nothing recognises it and I end up rebooting.

All I am trying to do is unlock the bootloader so as to run flexreaper extreme with a ICS bootloader.

By current bl is HC 3.01

Thanks for your help
[Acer Iconia A500] xgutterratx:
I had a the problem where I couldn't get into apex or recovery. fixed recovery with fast boot.

After that i still couldnt use apx would just hang on black screen I then changed my rom from a ics from back to a honeycomb one. Then apex worked
[Acer Iconia A500] duryard:
Fixed recovery with fastboot? How mate?

and the same again for the change back to hc rom.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
@duryard : when you try to get into recovery using the buttons VOLDWN & PWR, what happens?
[Acer Iconia A500] duryard:
It goes into recovery but after trying to run a update. Then goes into recovery.

POWER + VOLUME DOWN will boot to recovery after tring to install update

POWER + VOLUME UP just boots as normal

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
@duryard : if you let it boot normally, it still boots into Honeycomb ? Is it rooted?
[Acer Iconia A500] duryard:
Its rooted with flexreaper installed.

Boots straight into flexreaper
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
So, when you enter APX mode, device manager shows "Acer USB Boot-recovery driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" ?

And also, A500APXFlash tells you that the tablet is indeed in APX mode ?
[Acer Iconia A500] duryard:
Yes to the second. Will check first in about a hour when I get home
[Acer Iconia A500] duryard:
Nothing at all showing up in device manager

USB icon at the bottom of the screen on PC does not name it just says Open or Eject APX device
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
Driver issue ?

Try to uninstall the drivers, be a tough call if you cant locate the device in device mgr.

Reinstall drivers as per blackthunders guide on apxflash.exe.

According to My computer I can get into Apx mode, get a blank screen when in it though. I have an a500. I have tried what is suggested here with no luck. I do not get stuck at any point it says flashing everything, takes like 20 seconds to do it and then changes nothing. give no errors. Please any sugestions. I have my cupid number and the sbk number.

Solved driver issue by reinstalling acer drivers. Now all shows up as should be.

Nvflash started

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)

and as soon as It tried to send the command, tab crashes and need to reboot

Not sure how its going to let me get the device into bootloader mode tho.

Think I will have to roll back to stock and start over.

Wasnt there some report that blackthunder was working on bct error or some such???
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
I just tried vaches site, working fine for me...

Your sbk is part of the nvflash command that'sbeing sent to the device. I guess if the sbk is wrong, the command gets refused by the device.
[Acer Iconia A500] eppeP:
First the command is encrypted using the SBK then the encrypted message is signed (CMAC) using the SBK, the actual key is never transmitted.

Most likely the failure is already on the signature check, the device recieves the message it should verify the signature to ensure that the message have been recieved properly. If the key used to build the signature does not match the key stored in the device this will fail.

If it by some strange reason does not check the signature it would fail on the next step, decrypting the message and parsing the command. Since the key used to encrypt the message and the key in the device does not match it will not be able to decrypt the message properly.
[Acer Iconia A500] duryard:
Done it at last. Not sure quite how but is seems to of worked. Could not get anythink from the bundle market as it would not reconise the link but had V7-Thor1.7.3.a500apx so used that and I had to get cpuid from using usbview. Got the sbk from vache and hey presto I have

Noob here that recently spent a weekend rooting my phone and loading roms.... Had issues with every rom I tried just getting stuck in a bootloop until I tried the new Decks Reloaded Rom build Clyde_44. I really liked the rom at first but am now finding that there are a few small issues.... I'm having many issues with making and receiving calls. Then today I tried to mount my sd card from my computer so that I could load my music back onto my phone and the menu I had that asked if I wanted to charge, sync, use as usb mass storage etc. isn't there instead it shows the old screen with the android guy and asks if I want to mount as usb storage when I click the button to do that the rom reloads but it never mounts, or sometimes it looks like it is going to mount but it doesn't. I've tried turning on usb debugging but that doesn't seem to help. I'm running kernal 2.6.38.8 Mason G. I can't remember at the moment what recovery system I have because I also tried a few different recoveries out as well. Anyhow I'm hoping someone can help me get to the bottom of this since I can't post to the developer's thread on this one.

You can download Boot Manager Lite from the Play Store and when it loads grant it superuser permissions. When you plug your usb in again, it will come up with a notification.
