a100 flash program

After several hours trying, having trouble with some of the batch files. Appears some file names called in .bat different than actual file names, also had to invoke adb from Command prompt window, wouldn't work from windows file manager. Followed instructions but process is breaking down in second batch file. After correcting file names, batch file runs but recovery.img is failing. Need help figuring this out.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Oh wow OK I'll take a look I must have mixed everything up. My desktop is littered with files from all these projects. I'm sorry about that I should have double checked everything before I uploaded it. If the called files are different then the scripts it must be the old version mixed with new scripts or something. I should have it squared away sometime tonight/tomorrow morning.

Edit: I'm assuming by saying command prompt you use windows, the a100-root-win.bat file looks fine, was this one giving any issues?

I'm checking the second and third now for whatever is going on.

I'm not able to unlock my a100, when it enters boot loader and I press volume - and + nothing happens, any advice? Thanks a lot.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You have to be FAST when it gets there, it times out in like half a second it seems.

When you run it, have the tab in your hand, fingers on volume - and volume + (volume - is next to the lock switch). As soon as you see the screen change, hit volume - then volume +. It takes a few tries usually. It'll just sit there until you reboot afterwards.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] elander:
Hi, I was wondering, since I just rooted yesterday (got this tab last friday) should I skip the script for rooting and simply run the other two or do I have to run the root script anyways? by the way Im having some real weak reception from this tablet, like 2 bars only and thats when standing about 5 feet from the router, Im willing to follow this procedure in order to try one of the custom roms to see if the wifi weak signal goes away (Ive tried most of the things there are to attemp to fix this, including messing around with my router) do you know if any one has successfully fixed this with a custom rom? if so which one? thanks in advance and sorry for (kinda) hiijacking the thread.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Congrats on the purchase and welcome! You can skip over rooting if you already have rooted ICS. Not HC.

The weak wifi is pretty common, mine is weaker then any other devices I have, usually by a bar or 2. Custom roms won't fix it, I think they just have the power turned down on it. Its also possible there is a bad connection to the antenna internally. If you're very unhappy stop Modding now and return to stock and exchange for another unit or brand.

Any other questions feel free to ask.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] elander:
thanks for the info.

thanks for your fast reply, I was contemplating the idea of flashing some custom rom as a last resort before either opening up the tab's case to check for myself that everything was "wired right" as Im not too happy with the idea of sending this off to acer's as I live in the Dominican Republic and I'd hate to pay the overpriced shipping fee if it is something that I can fix by myself, but on the other hand I might as well break something new instead of fixing the wifi anthena, so I guess I'll have to claim the warranty and hope the wont send me another faulty unit (I've read somewhere some people had issues with the replacement units). Such a great little device cursed with bad QA. anyways, if I hard reset the tab it'll be back to stock right? (as of now the tab is running stock os with root access and the modified wpa_wifi apliance to gain access to adhoc networks) Thanks :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I'm not sure, but I don't think resetting these puts them back to 100% if rooted, the root stays since it sits in /system. You'll have to manually remove SU then reset to get rid of the root, I think. Other option is restore through the update.zip method which should wipe /system. You could try a hard reset and see if it removes SU or not, it might.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NeO_CooL:
Does the unlock script only works with the pre-release of ICS?

I cant get to the unlock mode... allways saying "xxxx .11 ics fast boot xxxxxxx"
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Not quite clear on what you're asking, but as far as I know it should work on any version bootloader unless they changed it on some update, which wouldn't surprise me.

What is the whole message, and when is it occuring?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NeO_CooL:
I have the latest ICS version availble thru OTA.

Or i´m not being fast enough?

Already tried a million times the Volume - and Volume +.

Guetting this message:

"Bootloader V0.03.11-ICS Starting fastboot usb download protocol"

Should get the unlocked mode right?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok if you don't get the new screen with two icons, then it isn't unlocking yet. It seems the script is hanging before passing the next step.

When it gets to that screen again, type

fastboot oem unlock

as soon as you hit enter, get ready for that volume down then up, so maybe have it in your lap with your fingers on the volume rocker.

I'll look at the script again to see why it's hanging, or if it isn't hanging, why it's shooting past that point without waiting.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NeO_CooL:
Forgot to say i´m using the windows version. ;)

Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] smokku:
The issue is that you included the A100 bootloader in the archive with a script to write it.

A100 bootloader (version 0.03.11-ICS) is not unlockable.

You need to write A200 bootloader (version 0.03.06-ICS) to your device, to have the unlocking option.

You know you have unlockable bootloader when you see green ACER logo in the bottom-right side of the screen instead white one in the center.

The script and blob you included is used to restore the original A100 (not unlockable) bootloader.

For the ones looking for the unlockable bootloader, it's here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557445
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It's just labeled a100, it isn't the actual a100 blob. But go ahead and use that link until I get the chance to go back through it, I'm obviously messing it all up somewhere, I may have used the a100 blob and gotten it mixed up with the a200 blob when I was renaming and shifting things around. I'll pull the download for now until I get the chance to get it all sorted out, sorry guys.

Edit OK its back up with the proper boot loader for unlocking. I can't believe I did that. Huge thanks to smokku for pointing that out!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
No worries. :)

And yeah, you have to be quick when it asks to toggle unlock, like half a second quick.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rorijam:
Hi, I ran every script separate from every thread, then came to this thread and again repeated the procedure by executing the 3 scripts, and on both I came to the point of unlocked and the green acer logo, the it reboots but never enters recovery mode :( I came from ICS official update from acer)

Any suggestions will be very wellcome thanks for such and interesting forum and solutions....

Currently my device shows BOOTING RECOVERY KERNEL IMAGE....but nothing happens even thought it says (unlock mode) on the top and a GREEN ACER LOGO is standing on the bottom right side...

After a couple of minutes I just turn it off an reboot it
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Not quite sure what is and isn't happening. You did unlock and install a recovery? If so then do this:

Power off the tablet not sleep, powered off.

Hold the volume key closest to the power button and lock switch.

Holding the volume key hold power until the screen says recovery kernel

let go of both buttons, there's recovery.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] smokku:
I guess you are looking for custom recovery image like CWM or TWRP.

After unlocking the bootloader you still have the stock recovery image good only for flashing stock update.zip.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601663 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608152 to get and install custom recovery image with all the goodies you are looking for.

instead of stating the obvious and leaving him on his own.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If you're referring to smokku, he did point out that I had originally included the a100 bootloader, so he has helped quite a bit as that was of course a major mistake on my end for a major part of this package.

I also did neglect how to manually boot into recovery from the OP, as it's been listed elsewhere, I tend to forget not everyone knows how to do it. For every mistake I get caught in, its another opportunity to correct it for the future.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TauxiC:
So I just used this tool on my mom's Acer A100, and it looked like everything worked. Except when I installed Titanium Backup, it said it could not acquire root privileges. Am I missing something?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Install superuser from the play store, should be good after that.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TauxiC:
Ok yeah, I had installed that, but it of course did not work until after a restart. New question though: Wasn't this supposed to have flashed CWM? I installed ROM Manager and tried to flash CWM, but it said the A100 wasnt officially supported. When I reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager, it takes me to the recovery screen with the android robot on his back with the red triangle caution logo on his opened-up belly.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
ROM manager is a waste of time on these, but you can link it up if you choose. Although the recovery should be CWM I'll have to check it again, I probably messed up somewhere in there again.

In the mean time there's a release of cwm and twrp in the dev section that should install just fine, uses scripts as well and work better then mine do I assure you.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TauxiC:
Ok after a little bit of searching, I got it all figured out. It was reinstalling the stock recovery since I didnt have the install-recovery.sh file deleted from system/etc. So as soon as I installed root explorer, deleted the file, and then followed the simple instructions to flash it, it all worked. I have root access, unlocked bootloader, CWM, and now I can use CWM to flash Google Now onto my mom's A100! Super excited. I'll report back later on to confirm whether or not it worked, I'll have to make a backup first.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Thanks for the update, I should add that file rename to the script before it starts, I hadn't thought to do that, I always forget about it lol

The instructions talk about the linux install method but there are no scripts in the zip for linux. Did you decide not to have a linux install or am I just missing it. I have searched around and I will continue but please let me know if I need to just find another method.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah that was written when there were Linux scripts included but they were bugging so I took them out for the time being, sorry about that. The commands are still the same so you could just issue them cut and past into terminal.

Thanks for all the work on this script. I have tried the other easy root thread and this one and no luck for me. I just bought this tablet yesterday and got the ICS update this morning. When I run this script as admin it loads instantly with all errors and fails. when I run it without admin rights it hangs at the start of the script. I have un installed and tr installed the drivers switched cable switch ports on computer tried putting on the c drive tried putting the script in the X86 folder and many other things. USB debugging is ticked. Can you think what else I may try. Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ninja45:
Perhaps someone can help me here.

I have an ATT galaxy s2 (i777 I think). A while back for some reason it started shutting off randomly. After that I rooted it and then a few days later it just going into a boot-loop and wouldnt start up at all.

So I read on this site that I needed to flash kernel for it. To be honest I wasn't sure what that was but I downloaded one that was like "one kernel to rule them all". So now it says SGH-I999 when I start it up and seems to work mostly normally except for a new model number and yellow triangle.

I want to update it to the new ICS that is just released, do I need to unroot or flash a different kernel to it before I try to update it???

your feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
Coming for the S2 this new S3 has big boots to fill. Can it fill them? I'm not so sure....

The things I'm a bit disappointed in are:

Compared to the S2 the screen on the S3 is relatively dim especially in broad daylight.

Wi-Fi connection problems. my rooter often needs a reboot but this does not happen with my other devices.

Very poor sound quality when recording a video

Low memory/RAM which means the homescreen has to redraw after pressing the home button.

keyboard not as easy to type on. More errors than typing on S2.

Rear speaker not as loud as S2

S2 is so much faster even on stock. S3 feels laggy in comparison.

It feels like the S2 is the upgrade and not the other way round. The screen is sharper than the S2 but thats about it. I'm glad I didn't sell my S2. I have three days to sent the S3 back and that's looking very likely.

Sorry to be negative about it, but that's my experience.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -=SagaR=-:
r u kiddin bro??/

if you start all your applications still you will not find a single lag on mobile i bet..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakaringer:
In my opinion this device rocks!!

Here's what I think after 2 weeks of using.

Super fast and buttery smooth. Really. Making the phone faster than this would be overkill for day to day usage. Games like NOVA3 runs with very little lag. Though the 1GB RAM is a bit disappointing (a upgrade from S2 would have been nice), apart from a few reloading apps, multitasking is pretty flawless. I am using Apex launcher and rarely suffer redraw issues.

The build quality is solid and feels solid too. I didn't like the design when I first saw the device on May 3rd. But after having it in my hands, it's SEXY. Super thin bezel and very good ergonomics. The curved design was made to fit right in your hands. Landscape and portrait. Feels pretty thin too although it's a bit thicker than the S2. But the back cover is a real fingerprint magnet (I have the white one) and my volume rocker is a bit squeaky but nothing serious.

The screen is a bit dim at max brightness as mentioned. But I really like the 720p res even though it's pentile (Really. I can't really tell the difference unless I have the screen in my face)

Camera is the best phone camera I've ever used. I really like the super fast no lag shutter though it is a bit of a hassle when you have to delete the many unwanted photos because it kinda makes you trigger happy (especially when using burst mode). I didn't really test the camcorder but based on videos on youtube they look really great (especially with the 30mbp bit rate mod). The colors are a bit saturated, but that's the way I like it.

As for extra features, S-voice is just gimmicky and kinda useless (like all other voice controls). Pop-up play is nice to have and works flawlessly but I don't see much use of it. Smart stay works most of the time (and I wear glasses) and is a little bit more useful. Direct call works and handy. But the number one thing I like about it is the RGB notification LED. It is soooooooo useful when paired with Lightflow!!!!

TouchWiz is just ok. Though I prefer Apex launcher more with its customization options. The notification toggles are useful to have especially when you want to toggle something in the middle of an app even though I only use wifi, gps, mobile network, and screen rotation toggles.

The battery is very good. It gets me through the day with moderate usage. (And I use full brightness too).

I can see a lot of potential in the GS3 especially when it comes to rom development. Samsung did a good job releasing the source code early. I'm interested in what the devs would cook up in the future.
