[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Hmm well without a log I can't really say why it would run but didn't flash anything. The recovery log is stored in /cache, so that's out. Maybe a dmesg but it seems on these bricks that doesn't always work either as it can't store it anywhere.

I guess what you could try next is using those files for fastboot and see if that will flash it. Unzip that file someplace handy, and copy the bootloader.blob and the recovery.img to wherever your adb is, then boot into fastboot mode:

Plug the usb cable for the acer>pc

Tablet powered off, hold volume +, the one furthest from power/lock switch

Hold power until it goes into the USB download screen

Alternative, in recovery in a command prompt type adb reboot bootloader

in terminal or command prompt cd to your adb/fastboot folder

see if this works:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.blob

if that appears to go through (meaning no errors)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (whatever its called I forgot what I named it)

and see if that goes through.

Another option maybe is this:

same old stuff to get into adb in command prompt

adb push bootloader.blob /tmp/bootloader.blob

adb shell cat /tmp/bootloader.blob /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

adb push recovery.img /tmp/recovery.img

adb shell dd if=/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

With it being so weirded out with partition errors it's entirely possible it just won't allow a flash to take place at this point. This is why I really need a bricked tablet lol I'm shooting in the dark, I have no idea what works and what doesn't work on any given recovery, bootloader or brick.

As before, I would also suggest you get into a chat with an Acer rep and see if they'll repair it due to hardware damage even with the unlocked bootloader. It is a known issue.

I just bought 2 these tablets on sale for $200 ea in Canada from BB. Did I make a mistake and should I return them. They seen to be great tablets
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It's an unknown, for all of the tablets listed here as bricked, how many units are out there working fine? It LOOKS like a lot, but it really isn't.

Keep your boxes and receipts, and if it happens, get it repaired. BB may just do a straight exchange for you with your receipt, and skip Acer all together.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tonydd:
True enough. Sometimes we hear things and panic. I should know better especially when my other tablet is a Let Pan.

Hi all, I have just received the OTA update on my Nexus S 9023.

I have to say it is smoother than ICS, even if stuttering is still present sometimes...

Btw, some questions:

- Which boot animation have you? I just have a small X at the centre of the screen

- The CRT effect worked 2-3 times and then stop...

Have you the same problems?

Thank you
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MRsf27:
i have the same boot animation also.. i kinda like it more then ICS, but i liked the gingerbread boot animation more then all the new ones...

i dont know what CRT is lol:o if anyone could tell me what CRT is that would be cool
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Yes everyone has the CRT issue so dont worry about it in the sense that it's not just you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aktifit:
the CRT animation doesn't seem to work on SLCD versions, there's a thread about that and afaik someone is looking for a fix
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamiltus:
Random shutdowns and lag

I find that sometimes it can tend to lag in places on the Nexus S with Jelly Bean (Google Now, Voice search). Also if I'm charging and I boot when there's little battery level, it'll randomly shutdown ? Still love it but I'm waiting for 4.1.2
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pegasolabs:
Aktifit is right, SLCD version here and no CRT animation anymore.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarCow:
Yep, got the same problem. Running OTA, Super-LCD and Window animations is set to 1 in Developers Options. It works sometimes randomly but mostly not. Can you give me a link to the thread, thanks? :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giaomnitel1:
It worked just 2-3 times for me.. after the update... and then nothing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Its fine on amoled version
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I hate that animation. I don't know why they removed the option to turn it off.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarCow:
You can still remove it, I believe. Go to Settings > Developers Options and turn Window Animations to 0.5.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Only issue I have which is kinda minor, is the pull down bar could be a bit smoother
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aktifit:
OMG because nobody should turn that animation off. And when google pushes a new update (in general, not just JB), making that animation work should be priority #1, I will definitely stay on CM9 as long as the animation doesn't work. Nexus S without CRT off is like a car without wheels... it just doesn't look right!

2. the latitude widget seems to have lost communication with gmaps.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizunox:
Hey guys, I'm loving jb but here are the issues Ive found.

Google Now search results are missing pictures and information on the nexus s.

For example if you search How tall is Yao Ming? It will just give his height.

On the galaxy nexus it will give his height but also bring up a picture of him.

It seems that we have a limited version that I'm sure can be fixed with a little modding.

My only other issue is that you can no longer get a question mark or exclamation mark from the blue text above the keyboard.

You have to hold on the period for those characters.

I find it overall good but not so amazing like its been hyped. A few apps don't work which is no biggie but what is the alternative to flash since its not supported?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron Overdrive:
I've found Flash still works since I didn't uninstall it nor did I do a clean install of JB. By unsupported that just means Adobe won't issue any JB specific fixes and won't be available for download through Google Play, but you can probably still side load it from someone's backup. Officially the big push is to leave Flash for HTML5 which is built into most modern browsers like the built-in Browser, Google Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waj1234:
If its built into the browser its not working yet with iPlayer which I assume is not using HTML5 yet. I did the update then a factory restore as it was a bit laggy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron Overdrive:
Honestly I can't tell you anything about iPlayer because it doesn't work outside the UK and I'm in the USA. Try side loading a backup of the Flash Player and trying it again.

Except for large file transfers to the phone (/sdcard subdirectories). From phone to PC is fast and fault free. To the phone transfer is slow and stops altogether for some large files. A specific example is the upgrade file P2lZDQWb.zip, it just stops at 95% locking up the Win 7 explorer window showing the phone directories. Worked fine under ICS.
