[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jquist:
hi,

for an app i am developing, i need to open/read the video driver from /dev/ in my app, but am getting "permission denied" from both the filesystem and from within the app - i cannot use the android API for this, bcoz it is some functionality not supported by API.

presume i'd have to become superuser/root to read /dev/ but do not wish to root the device because i simply cannot require or expect the users of the app to root the device to use the app.

so, how to solve this problem?

thanks,

Jane.

[Acer Iconia A500] phlashbios:
Hi, hoping someone can offer some advice/help here. First, my setup:

A500 with the v7 Bootloader, Thor's R169 Rom, Recovery 1.7.3 all of which are working just fine.

The problem I have, is the auto-rotate function does not work. I have tried all the suggested fixes I can find on both here and the Tegra Owners forums (and indeed every other link I can find through Google) and none of them work. I have also checked that the hardware switch is OK and it is functioning as it should. This problem has only appeared since installing ICS and applies to any Rom I try, with the auto-rotate not working in any Rom, or with any bootloader.

I have, of course, tried different bootloaders, different roms, full wipes, full formats of all partitions, factory resets, the pinhole reset and a number of different auto-rotate applications from the market. None of them make the slightest bit of difference and auto-rotate continues to be non-functional. Logcat shows continual "MLUpdateData error (code26)" errors with the hardware switch in the on position, and when I then switch it to the off position, shows "Error: illegal state transition from ML_STAT_SERIAL_CLOSED to ML_STATE_DMP_OPENED", followed by "vendor/3rdparty/Invensense/libservers/mlsdk/mllite/mldmp.c|MLDmpStop|161 returning 25

I am satisified from using a program called AdvancedTools from the market, that the sensors are functioning and responding to restart requests, although restarting the sensors using this app still makes no difference. Auto-rotate remains non-functional and nothing I have tried seems to change that.

To a layman like me, it seems like it may be a driver issue or perhaps a kernel issue. Anyone here able to help at all please ?
[Acer Iconia A500] phlashbios:
Hmmm....

60+ views and not a single response. Is it fair to assume that nobody has any idea what is causing this ? Am I the only person seeing this issue ?
[Acer Iconia A500] danixquick:
I have the same issue, I do not know what to:(
[Acer Iconia A500] Dwazz:
Same issues here...

Take a look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690905

The only way that worked for me so far is:

Turn the auto rotation switch off

Power off

Power on

Put the auto rotation switch on

If I turn off the tablet with the switch ON none of the sensors works and you'll have to try a lot of times to make it work again..

Other users solved the problem:

- installing a HC bootloader

- Installing ICS V4 bootloader

- Performing real format before flashing the rom

Let me know what you've tried, we must find a solution!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] phlashbios:
OK, here's the current situation. I installed a stock HC ROM (Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1) but left the v7 Bootloader still in place. ROM booted fine and works, but still no sensors working.

I then reflashed the Bootloader with a stock HC Bootloader and all the sensors work again.

This is clearly a Bootloader issue by the looks of it.

I am currently upgrading the Honeycomb 3.1 ROM as an OTA to 3.2.1 and will then update all apps, check all is working again and if so, install the Acer Update Updater and then do the OTA upgrade to ICS and check if all working again on stock ICS. Will report back later as to how things go.
[Acer Iconia A500] phlashbios:
OK, latest update following on from above.

Installed the Acer Update utility from the Marketplace

Updated OTA to stock 3.2. No issues, all working including sensors.

Updated OTA to stock 3.2.1. No issues, all working including sensors.

Updated existing systems Apps to current versions. No issues, all working including sensors

Updated OTA to stock ICS. Tablet boots, all OK and working, including sensors.

Reboot tablet, get a brief message that says Bootloader updating and then it boots into ICS. Sensors now stop working and no amount of fiddling with the rotation lock or factory resets or pinhole resets will make the sensors work again.

This to me is clearly an ICS Bootloader issue ? Anyone disagree ?

How on earth do I/we get this fixed ?
[Acer Iconia A500] phlashbios:
Well, after many hours of messing about, I have managed to get Thor's R169 ROM working and with the sensors working too. It has however required the use of the HC 3.01 Bootloader to have the sensors still working.

For the benefit of others who are facing similar difficulties, can I suggest the following course of action:

Install the APX drivers if you haven't already got them on your PC.

1. Put Thors ROM and Gapps on your SD card or on the Tab's own internal storage

2. Downgrade your existing setup to the unstable 3.01 Honeycomb

3. Use the AfterOTA v1.7 tool to install CWM on the old Honeycomb setup.

4. Boot into CWM Recovery and do the usual Factory Reset and wipe everything you can, including the Flexrom, Dalvik etc.

5. Install Thors ROM from your SD card/storage

6. Install Gapps from your SD card/storage

7. Reboot the tab into normal mode

Voila ! A working Thor ROM with working sensors.

What all my efforts tell me is that there is an issue with the ICS Bootloader and some tablets. Whether it is causing a race condition and not giving drivers time to start up, I am not sure, but restarting the drivers for the sensors makes no difference once the ICS Bootloader is installed. Any ICS Bootloader, including the stock one and all of Skrilax's from versions 3 through to 8, all result in no sensors working for me. This is clearly nothing to do with Skrilax, it is something inherent in the behaviour of the ICS Bootloaders.

For people using ICS ROM's other than Thor's, you will need to check whether they will behave with a HC Bootloader before installing them.

I can only pray that Thor and others continue to release ICS ROM's that are compatible with HC Bootloaders while someone, hopefully is able to figure out what is causing the ICS Bootloader issue.

Thanks all for those that offered advice and guidance. Your help is and will continue to be appreciated.

I am aware that references to Thor are not welcome in these forums. As I have not provided any links, or posted any attachments, I am hopeful that the mods here will see that I am trying to both seek help and indeed offer help to others rather than cause any issues. It could be any ROM this applies to, it just happens to be Thor's I am using.
[Acer Iconia A500] WIRO:
use same rom thor169 bootloader v3 never botherd to upgrade to 4-5-6or 7

on mine rotation works with a ics v3 bootloader
[Acer Iconia A500] phlashbios:
Hmmm... that's very interesting, because mine definitely does not. My sensors do not work with the stock ICS Bootloader, or any of Skrillax's from v3 --> v8
[Acer Iconia A500] Bobg1231:
I have also recently had some problems in this area. Started out as auto-rotate sticking whenever using an app that forced portrait. Then this morning went to flash v170 after being on flex rf1 v3 and auto-rotate quit completely. Tried twice with no luck. Over the past couple of days I have done multiple complete wipes and data formats. Did this again and did not work. So I restored a v169 backup and everything fine again. Flashed v170 and it's working fine. Possibly restoring to an older backup that worked (even if it was honeycomb) might help you. Oh yah, I was on bootloader v6 through all of this.
[Acer Iconia A500] celidora:
Hi all,

i has the same problem, sometimes works and sometimes not. now i have the v8 Bootloader, Recovery 1.7.3 and Tegraowners ICS ROM v170.

any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] phlashbios:
If you install a HC 3.01 Bootloader, I am pretty confident that will fix it, however, that's not really the answer to the problem, it's just a workaround. So far, nobody with the necessary skills seems to be interested in sorting out what's causing the problem when using the ICS Bootloader.
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
No one with the skills has the problem.. no one with the problem is providing real debugging information. (a logcat + dmesg just after boot might give a hint)

Many experience installing an ICS rom with the unlocked bootloader, and having the rotate fail on the first boot; however ensuring rotate is not locked and rebooting solved it for most users (and it never shows again).. If after this reboot its still failing you need to provide the logs above if you want a dev to have any chance.. and provide info that we are sure you have done this reboot. (and not just blindly downgraded to HC or another rom)

Also it helps to be sure what rom is being run..

**NEW GET THE TWO ICS ROMS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633907**NEW

first download all three of the files

open the acer decrypter and run it

now where select the input file, should be in downloads folder(leave the output folder

remove the sd card from your acer a500 and put it into some kind of device that can hold an sd card and plug it in

select usb mass storage device or disk drive on your device

go into your download and open the DECRYPTED rom

Extract the whole folder to desktop

now copy all of that to the sd card through your phone/device

shut off iconia tab

hold power button and VOL- until it says entering recovery mode

now you should see a green android guy with gears in him

DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING

hope this worked, it worked for me!!!!!!!!:D:cool:

Thank you Moscow Desire for showing me what i was missing.

What did you do to get it unbricked? Did you find a different ICS Rom somewhere? Any help would be appreciated!
[Acer Iconia A500] hitman1111:
Ok, I figured it out. Got my Acer back up and working. My mistake was extracting the rom and putting the entire thing on my sd card. So basically, after you decrypt your rom, extract it, put the update.zip and only the update zip on the sd card your going to use.

Thanks everyone!
[Acer Iconia A500] ikslawlok:
How do you decrypt it ?
[Acer Iconia A500] ikslawlok:
Could you explain step by step how do you resolve your brik please
[Acer Iconia A500] hitman1111:
Ok, follow the links on page one of this post.

1. download the decrypter and the roms

2. unzip the decrypter

3. run the decrypter, select a rom to decrypt

4. once the rom is decrypted, unzip it

5. in the unzipped file folder, choose the update.zip file and move it to your sd card. (don't unzip this file)

6. insert sd card into tablet, press volume and power button at same time

Basically it's exactly the instructions at the beg of the thread. Except once the file is decrypted and unzipped, you only put the update.zip file on your sd card.

Hope this helps
[Acer Iconia A500] ikslawlok:
Thank you.

Both derypted rom update.zip don't work for me :

Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 & Acer_A500_7.014.01_041.203.01_COM_GEN1

Do I have to format my microSD card before put update.zip ?

I think my problem comes from HC bootloader or Acer ICS bootloader,

because i've installed Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1 before brik my Tab

something to unbrick my hcl me u1??? if at all is bricked!!

SO I ROOTED MY HCL ME U1 THROUGH UNLOCKROOT. IT WAS SUCESSFUL, SUPER USER WAS INSTALLED.

SINCE THIS TABLET DOESNT OPEN GOOGLE PLUS, I FOLLOWED A TUTORIAL TO SORT THAT OUT

THAT STATED:

GOOGLE PLAY STORE ON HCL ME U1

This is the official method by HCL. And I guarantee that this method works perfectly:

Download a file named HCL_rss_Milen_market_9

Now extract it to Desktop

Now connect your phone to PC via USB

Now power off your Tablet

Press the power button and the button next to it (volume+) simultaneously.

(if successful you will get a vdfu disk)

Open the folder and Run run MPTool.exe

Click the setting button.

click the button for (on the right side) PAK and choose the PAK file named vortex.pak .

Click Save and Return button in the bottom.

Just press Scan and again a device will get installed. Wait and after approx. 2-3 seconds next to the scan button you can see a button called Update.

Now click the Update button and wait till the process completes.

When it completes the tab will automatically restarts and for first it will take lot of time to boot so have patient and wait for it.

Once booted you should be able to see android market in the apps menu.

Open it and sign in with your google account and you will have GOOGLE PLAY STORE working.

I CLICKED THE UPDATE BUTTON AND IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY UPDATED,

BUT THE TABLET DIDNT RESTART.

AND NOW IT WONT START, OR RESET. PLEASE HELP.. SOMEONE.. ANYONE.. WHATS WRONG?????????????????
