[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Your english is fine, don't worry :)

Ok, so previously mmcblk0p1 was NOT found, now it IS found? Well thats better then nothing. I've seen this on another device, though it was cache that was mounting and not mounting at almost random times.

I've been tracking this as far as I can, and it appears the A100 shares an issue with the A500 (and maybe A200?) that results in a bad sector(s) and must be partitioned around. If this is the actual cause, its a hardware failure, not software, and isn't anything you did, it just died.

This explains the string of bricks that seem to occur out of nowhere.

My original method was to DD a working image to the device, completely restoring the partition with a clone of my working system, cache, recovery, etc. However if its a damaged EMMC, this will not work either. This also explains why past attempts have failed on other devices that I've tried helping with off the forum.

As I can emulate a "bricked" device, I don't have a device with this actual issue to diagnose and attempt to fix, my device doesn't have this problem. I'm not real sure I can proceed much farther until either my device does this bad sector thing, or I get my hands on a device that is already bricked and begin finding the method to repair it.

Ok..now dealing with what DOES work...

==========================================================

Android system recovery <3e>

Android system recovery utility

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

=========================================================

have you tried selecting any of these options? Highlight with volume, and hit power to select, try from

apply update from external storage and record what it says (hopefully it just installs and your're good to go)

then

apply update from cache and again record what it says, hopefully it works fine.

then

wipe data/factory reset and again record what it says

then

wipe cache partition and record what it says

Do these in the order I mentioned, only doing the next if it fails. If it does install, don't do the rest, just report back success and what you did, in the order you did it, to get it going again.

Edit: Oh and reboot after each selection if it fails, and reboot into that menu again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rollidark:
This is the problem, can't select any option

I select a option with VOLUME key, put cursor on apply updade from external storage so i hit power

And nothing happens.

If i hold power, device force power off...

Power key work perfect, only in recovery dont work...

Thank you

My friend have the same device with the same update 0.002.0_WW_GEN1, his device work normaly, when i go into recovery, I cant select any option too

I think if i reset his device, this cant boot to...i dont try it

I can upload video in youtube for you, if it help u see my case.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok, if power doesn't work on either device, try the home button. It's been so long since I ran stock recovery I may have gotten the buttons mixed up with CWM recovery, which uses Power as Enter. And good call on not doing anything on the other device, you never know. It shouldn't cause issues, but just in case, don't. We don't know exactly what is causing this, and if its anything like the hardbrick bug in some Samsung devices, anything can trigger it if it happens in the right order or time.

Recovery does not select options when press power /home/reset/volumes

I need a guide for use EUUs_SBK rom, I have my CPUID

And in my friend's device, how i back to original hc?

Recovery have the same problem does not intall update.zip, if I install the CWM, Can I do official update to back original state? I really need back to factory rom and recovery.

Thank you for help
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If the device is having issues, I wouldn't suggest going back to HC, it can only cause more problems. If you run the official update.zip it returns back to how it came from Acer, stock recovery, locked bootloader and unrooted stock ICS.

The EUU and SBK stuff has been attempted before and failed. Its in various threads with the same bricking issues, and doesn't seem to help, or work. At this point I think NVFLash is about the only option we have left to try to bring these back from a bricked state. Sadly Acer decided to try to lock out NVFLash, so it'll take some time to see if it will work with our A100s. Vache has the NVFlash config files, so its a start, it may work it may not, however I can't test much as my device doesn't have this bricking issue, so any testing on my a100 doesn't really mean anything.

I've actually looked around locally for a bricked a100 to see if I can get and begin working on a method to repair it, but either there are none locally bricked, or none are up for sale (sent back to Acer for repair).

I'm working on it, but I have a couple roadblocks preventing me from really trying, time, and no bricked device.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok doing some more digging around, I've come across a thread with some posts that seem to lead me to believe that (non stock) our bootloaders don't respond to the correct SBK, mine doesn't either, and I think it's because our method for unlocking the bootloader uses the A200 bootloader, which will NOT accept the SBK, even if correct, because its wrong for that bootloader.

This leaves out NVFlash, it can't authenticate with the bootloader so it gets blocked, so while it would fix the bricks (outside of hardware failure) it's not an option for us until we find out the correct SBK for our bootloaders.

For those on stock, the update.zip failures seem to be common, however I have a few things for you to try (I think you're stock ICS right?)

download this update.zip

Its ICS 014, should work.

It seems people had issues with it working because it originally came encrypted, and had to be decrypted to work. If it wasn't, you got update.zip not found or various other errors like you did. Thanks to azmode for this.

Take your external SD card, insert it into your PC however you can, and format it FAT32. Before doing this, copy any and all files you wish to keep safe to the PC as this will erase the card completely. If your card reader has a light, wait for it to stop flashing before moving on.

Take the update.zip file you downloaded and place it on the card. Nothing else, no folders or pics or music or anything else. Again wait for the activity light to stop for a few seconds BEFORE hitting eject. Also verify the file is named update.zip nothing else, and not update.zip.zip which can sometimes happen. All lowercase letters.

Once that is done make sure the tablet is OFF, completely, not sleeping but off. Leave it off for at least 30 seconds (or if its been off the whole time don't worry about it) then insert the SD card. Hold Volume Down (closest to lock switch) then press and hold Power and hold for about 3 seconds until the text FIRST comes up, immediately release the buttons as soon as you see any text coming up.

This should once again attempt to read update.zip from the external sd card, and hopefully finds it, or gives a different error then before.

These instructions aren't much different from before, as various other users have outlined this procedure before, in particular blackshinobi who has spent alot of time on the bricked threads.

That update.zip should be decrypted which should allow it to pass the bootloader checks. I think this is where some of the issue is coming from, its that stupid bootloader encryption blocking even valid attempts to restore the tablet to working condition or updating.

If anyone is willing, could they pull their 100% official stock bootloader and stick it somewhere to play around with? Or, I suppose, someone with a 100% official stock ICS system try NVFlash on their system and see if it allows or gives permission denied? If the 100% official still denies, then our SBK generation is wrong, if it does, then its our bootloaders, and we can attempt to fastboot flash the correct bootloader to pass SBK for EUU.

Did you ever have any luck getting your tablet running again?

It looks like I am having the same issue as you are. with a couple of minor variations. I've tried all the recommendations in this thread and the ones linked from here but I'm not making any progress. I fear there is nothing I can do and that the device is now a fancy brick :( does anyone have any other ideas on getting this fixed?

1. When I boot to recovery, get to the dead Android I see the following messages in yellow

E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 (No such file or directory)

E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install

E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 (No such file or directory)

2. When I try to unlock the bootloader in fastboot mode (fastboot oem unlock) the screen blinks off and back on and I never get the lock.

Those errors have been identified as a dead emmc, which is currently unrecoverable. And is happening on quite a few of iconia's. This thread was prior to the devs and users finding thee issue. See all the brick threads here.

Dear All i have the issue with my Skyvega A 800s that whenever i start my phone its open in recovery mode and when i check log it says " dev/block/mmcblk1p1"

Cant format unknown volume: /emmc

Actually before this everything i going smoothly i flashed the rom and the tried to update from sky station when its complete and phone restart the problem comes please help me out please.....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well this isn't a forum for that device, and not being familiar with it I can only guess. mmcblk1p1 is usually external SD card, if one is inserted, remove it, if one is not, insert one. See what it does on each try. It may be internal SD card too, hard to say since I don't know that device, although a link to it's recovery.fstab would help there, or just /system/etc/vold.fstab.

Sorry,

I'm one concept

This possible installed replicant recovery?

Just for '' flash img'' option

I'm test replicant os for my gtab2 3110, i'm look this option, i'm just copie img for my device and selected '' flash image'' this installed os

AFAIK it hasn't been made for the a100, so other then that, I dunno.

I've looked and searched for a descent Car mount, for any of my phones...but especially my Lumia. I finally found one.

It's Proclips. Here's the link. I've had 1 phone, over 2 different cars. only had to buy the car mount. It sure beats the suction cup method.

I love it and highly recommend it.

Now that ICS is officially rolling out I've noticed 2 issues, wondering if anyone else has noticed these ??

Running .211 here (which according to VZW is the official build) and I notice 2 issues.

1)GPS is not consistently working. It keeps showng myself as in Kingsland, GA. A reboot seems to fix it.

2)Corporate Sync is not working on our 2003 Exchange server for PUSH email - was working fine under GB.

BTW - I posted this on Motorola support forums and get a pretty nasty response...

If you have side-loaded or jumped through hoops to install software the shady way, this forum is not for you.

There is no support here for people running stolen software.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
I dont know how it works but I'd assume that just because they didn't change the build #, doesn't mean they didn't tweak programs in the ram disk, it could be that build # = kernel revisions. If I were you and I had a cwm installed I'd make a nandroid, ti back up all of your user apps (not system), pull both to a safe spot on your comp. Wait for the update to be available to install , test the apps your having problems with, if they work recover the ti backup and your good, if not restore your nandroid, and complain officially with out mentioning the leak
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmarshack:
I was running ICS .211 and could not get Corporate Sync to work either. Worked great on BG and since I use my phone for work, I had to go back to GB.

I really hope they worked this out, or they are going to have a host of unhappy customers as soon as they push the OTA.

ICS Isn't officially rolling out today despite what being said on VZW. Motorolla has stated already that the soak tests are rolling out today. IF all goes well with the soak (which I don't think it will as there are a couple of unresolved issues), then the OTA goes to the genral public next week.

Theres a bit of confusion on this. VZW stated on their twitter that its going out to all in batches, Motorola has stated "select users" starting today. I will believe Motorola because the soak for ICS hasn't started yet!

Back to the original post, I believe I have at least figured out my GPS problem. And it's surprising how I discovered it.

My wife just got a new iPhone4S (don't ask)...when I was helping her set it up and went into weather it immediately thought it was also in Kingsland, GA! Both phones happen to be connected to our home WiFi and we recently got a replacement router (refurbed from our ISP). I think the router is in Google's location database in the old location and that's where the phone is picking up the location from. If I turn off WiFi then it switches back to using the GPS and reports my location correctly.

Now to get Google's database to update!!

[HTC One X] Moix123:
Hi all, And my apologies if i am posting in the wrong section.

i've been searching for the solution for my problem, and so far i cudnt find one.

My HTC works fine, no screen flickering nothing at all.

what my unique problem is that, as my htc reaches to 80% charge, it starts acting like its in a red area zone. it crashes. I switch it one, and as it loads back to lock screen, it crashes again, and again and damn again , untill i put it on charge.

Initially i thought its a software bug so

i rooted my cell, installed custom rom ARHD 6.0, (didnt touch my kernal)

i was happy with the custom rom, battery got better, device became more smooth. but as it reached to 80%, bang. crashed, and crashed after every restart.

i installed LeeDroid rom and confronted the same problem again.

My uncle bought this from UK and i live in Pakistan, so replacement is out of the equation. I am not sure what should i do, even if i give this for repair, what should i ask for that? battery?

i made a video of this, please help me out.

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
If the phone did it out of the box running stock s/w and no other apps it's h/w. Since you're rooted and have played with multiple ROMs it's hard to tell. If I were you I'd go back to the stock ROM, not load any apps, and see if the phone still has the problem. If it doesn't it's something s/w related that you've done to the phone.
[HTC One X] srashedian:
I assume there is no official HTC service center available there (as there is non in Iran) in that case I suggest you do this two things before testing local unauthorized repair centers.

1- Flash the latest franco kernel (I suggest franco cause I've tested it myself, you can also use any other kernel)

2- let the battery charge up to 100% and then go to CWM recovery and wipe battery stat
