I was making an assumption that you were rooted and trying to get the "Reboot to Recovery" option to work. If you are rooted with a recovery installed, and want to boot manually to the recovery partion, then during your reboot at the eeepc screen, hold VOL - until it gives you the option to press VOL + for boot to recovery. My original post was a work around to boot to recovery from within your ROM

I started getting this error last week. If I try to watch a video in Google Plus, or in the YouTube app. Closing and opening it doesn't help. I have to reboot the phone to get it to work again.

Has anyone else had this issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
Now I can add Maps to this issue. Happened once last night. I tried force closing but it still wouldn't complete loading. I just got the error, "Maps has stopped." "Wait or close?"

I eventually had to reboot the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skipper64:
Took my phone to a Sprint store that has repair techs in house and they asked if I tried a reset and I said yes. They worked on it for a while and then they tried the youtube app on their phones and it did not work either. As I was picking up my phone another person can in and had same problem.

I use orb to stream live and recorded tv to phone and it has stopped working as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Try fixing permissions in recovery. Toss a cache wipe in there as well for good measure
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skipper64:
I was on phone with level 2 and and they could not get the youtube or orb apps working on my phone. Did a hard reset while on phone, still get connection to server lost. They sent me a new phone and still have same problem, orb and youtube do not work. Connection to server lost for youtube and orb will not connect at all.

I did notice that a few apps showed up like the mirror app and a couple others when I first looked at phone about a week ago. thats when I started having problems with youtube.

How do I change those settings in recovery and clear cach you were talking about? Not rooted at the moment.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, i'm trying to uninstall chainfire3d driver but i keep getting "error! Not enough space available! Need 622592 more bytes!" i've tried to format via recovery and cache partition but non of them helped :( please help me, i tried to clear space but it didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
you need to clear at /system, not cache or data

try using titanium backup or root explorer and remove an unusedcsound or app
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] tico96:
But i've got like 124 mb left on internal memory, and it is first time i get message like this from cf. Or do i really need to clear from /system a unused app :p?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
your phone has different partitons.

like on pc, younhave different disk drives.

well its a bit different..

but a disk is called system

another data, here are your apps

another cache, caches for apps

the 100mb is only for data, so data may be empty, system may be full...

you need to clean /system
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] tico96:
I deleted dualclock with titan backup, and uninstalled cf3d driver thank you!!! I didn't know there are different partitions, only / and sdcard :p but thanks again! :D

[Acer Iconia A500] eppeP:
You are probably using a 32bit system, while the others have been using a 64bit system.

Try replacing

printf("uid: %#016lx\n", *(uint64_t*)data);

with

printf("uid: 0x%016llx\n", *(uint64_t*)data);

or

printf("uid: 0x%08X%08X\n", *((uint32_t*)data+1), *((uint32_t*)data+0));

I would expect either to work.

For everybody with problem with compiling.

1. After you open terminal write:

gedit apx.c

2. Copy code from browser and paste into gedit.

3. Click CRTL+S and after that ALT+F4.

4. In terminal:

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 build-essential

Enter and insert password (password will not be visible).

5. After that that:

sudo gcc apx.c -o apx -lusb-1.0

6. Connect tablet, go to APX, and in terminal:

sudo ./apx

Thats it. Tested on 13.10 64 bit live.

A VM will not see devices attached to the host, from what I recall VirtualBox have support for USB pass-through but that it is something you have to configure per device.

A500 Stuck on ACER. No CPUID. APX mode but device not found

hello everyone,

first off, thank you all the seniors for bearing with us and helping us wholeheartedly. coming to the issue, My A500 booted unexpectedly and afterwards, stuck to ACER logo. I m not so good with all this FLASHING stuff so i dont know what mode you call it, but i pressed PWR and VOL- (nearest to PWR) and i get the the text on top left screen telling something "clearing cache data before sd card update .... loading kernel image" I guess this is reffered as a RECOVERY mode.

Anyways, thanks to MOSCOW, I tried his 4 decrypted roms, copied them as update.zip on sd card and booted through the RECOVERY mode mentioned earlier but no luck. all of them gave that Droid with red excalamation and on its BACK.

However, thanks again to dibb_nz I tried the HC 3.1 and 3.2 one by one. I believe it was 3.1 GEN 1 package that gave me a slight hope when i saw a status bar on the first DROID standing with a octagone revolving but at about 25% ... nothing hapened. also, with an ACER Package for 4.0.3 I remember I got to nearly 97% and stuck again. at that time i realized i may have to go the APX -> unbuntu way.

I have the unbuntu setup running flawlessly with all libraries and packages. I have a 32 bit OS so changed the script accordingly as mentioned in this thread. problem is, when i connect the A500 with system and execute ./apx it gives me straihgt error saying "Error: Failed to open device!" the device is in APX mode, black screen and power button white. (done it by keep pressing the reset button while holding the pwr button for three seconds, and letting go reset after a second)

(just want to clarify, I tried to connect the Tablet with APX mode in WIN7 but niether the windows prompts me for a new hardware nor can i see it under device manager as an APX or Acer recovery system. tried it on different USB slots too but no go. However, when i disconnect the tablet, i get to hear BAADINGGG! sound as if something has been disconnected from windows)

Any help would br greatly appreciated.

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Hi vigilant, sorry to hear you're still having troubs..I can't help with your Linux error and if it was a windows error then it would be a driver issue for sure!!

Download the babsector file and run it on win7..this will output an error that we can work with...its sounding like a memory chip failure but babsector will tell us if it is.

P.S. reinstall the acer drivers and make sure you have the Android adb/usb drivers installed too.
[Acer Iconia A500] vigilantevil:
Hi dibb-nz,

thanks for your advice and help. i couldn't find enough time to try everything yesterday however, i did get the the google USB drivers installed for android and acer driver REINSTALLED. i already have the adb sdk installed and THNAK GOD windows finally found my device as APX. though it started to install default ACER drivers once as i couldn't hold on the reset button long and device went to acer screen but in the middle it just stopped installing default drivers.

Anyways, I still had no luck with Linux part and the TERMINAL still gave me device not found. at this point it is seems I am not doing something right with the LINUX which i m not sure what. the original post says the author used linux 12.04 LTS where as i have the 14.0.4 LTS, wonder if this is causing something out of ordinary.

secondly, Can you please direct me to the right person who knows how to deal with Linux part as i m more than sure that this has to do something with my linux not reading my device/USB. I tried both standalone and VM environemt, and i m sure i read somewhere that the USB ports need to be configured somehow for the linux to read off it in VM mode.

I meant Picasso got installed and than on another attempt, the tablet was not in APX mode so it started to install MTP drivers but failed.

( I used V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx recovery package and from instructions it seemed to me that i need to have the intended OS or ROM in Tablet to flash in the first go so i had the image Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1-FOOL-ROOT in the SD card ) this is where i need your help Dibb.

Device boot up and stuck on the first screen with title Skrilax_CZ bootloader v8 Booting primary kernel image. rebooted again and installed the package from zip and rebooted. yet i m stuck on the same screen. need a little enlightenment here as I mentioned in my first post i aint good with FLASHING stuff just the straight technical things i can manage :)
