Technically no. Are you checking the md5sum of the files you download? If the answer is no, you should be. If you use the Goo.im app it will automatically check them for you when it finishes downloading. Just because you are downloading from the recommended source does not mean that the file cant be corrupted during the download. Goo.im checks the md5sum for you when you go through the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wbexpress:
Yes, thank you, I am using the GOO app on the phone to download the ROM. The MD5 is good. I am just beyond baffled as to why I cannot get thid damned thing to boot up. Would you be able to share exactly what steps you did to get yours going. All things being equal, it just makes no sense. I odin'ed back to stock, redid everything exactly as the OP says and it just will not boot, no matter what I do or wipe. PS: I'm using TWRP 2.2 recovery now. Doesn't seem to matter what I do.

Edit: Just switched back to CWM, followed the OP instructions to a "t", no go!!!

Edit: Just tried both the "Unofficial" and "Experimental" CM10 builds, still no go. WTF!!!??? Why can I get AOKP to boot alll the time? I "get" that it is JB, but the damn thing should either boot all the time or never boot, correct? (I'm sure it's not quite that simple.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Manvendra05:
How can i check if the md5 sums are correct if i have downloaded it from xda website from computer ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bFORTIFIED:
I dono I dont know what OS you are using. For linux... md5sum /path/to/file/foo.zip

For windows search.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
Just search PC md5sum checker there are tons of them out there ..
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
Awesome!

will flash it later when back from work and provide feedback (too annoyed with the stock rom atm) so i will give it a go!

cheers
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aticatac:
Awesome! Pace is speeding up. Thanks for your efforts.

The CWM is not the one from the "CWM Recovery 6.0.1.0 for A700" thread, right?

Cheers

Peter
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
No, read inside the brackets ;)

The "CWM Recovery 6.0.1.0 for A700" has broken build prop and will cause the device check to fail.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] aticatac:
Actually, I did read inside the brackets, but the CWM in the mentioned thread is not a touch version, or so I thought, that's why I asked.

EDIT: Now I realised that we were talking about the exact same thread title.

Anyways, I will flash this one, give it a whirl and read twice or more next time.

Jeez, where is my mind...

Thanks again.

Does the CM10 include the performance update?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
does anyone else get e:Can't mount /sdcard/ ?

cwm tells me can't mount sdcard and emmc but data, cache and system mount fine (backup even stores on the sdcard under cwm folder)

I have sound.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
So far so good, thank you.

I do enjoy the lack of bloat..... :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
The installer doesn't, but you'll need to wipe data for it to boot successfully. Wiping data won't wipe your internal sdcard though.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] edgie168:
I'm getting the triangle of death after flashing the recovery in the OP...

I had the other CWM you posted in the other thread which the tablet seemed to boot into just fine.

i'm running a a700 with the a701 rom from way back, is that my issue? :(
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] IronFly:
no luck for poor A701 users?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] djfoo000:
Are there any significant improvements after flashing CM10 over the stock Acer ROM? I'm looking to get this tablet but initial reviews all talk about how lacklustre this tablet performs (esp comparing with other Tegra 3 tablets when it comes to gaming).

Especially interested in the A700 now since it is the only tablet that uses microUSB for charging (albeit at a slower rate if not using the included charger), and now that it has CM support, I couldn't be more glad to buy this.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
Got tired of waiting for the supposed JB update and just installed the new nightly.

Everything seems to work so far although the GPS while it locates position it takes a long time to lock, so I dunno.

Thank you and i'll wait for the future releases.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] chriskwarren:
I'm in the same boat as you.

How is touch-screen and keyboard responsiveness? These were the main reasons why I shelved my a700 but would love to get it off the shelf again.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
Its ok, I never really had any touch issues with this tablet although it did like to get hot at times.

I rarely use it actually since I have a Samsung Note 10.1 and Nexus 7 also....

Give it a spin! The nice thing is the reduced bloat that comes with these CM releases.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] misteral1970:
Hi Pawtip,

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for this. I threw it on the a701 (knowing I was taking a risk) and it works beautifully. Chrome is sluggish, but Dolphin is very smooth. Big improvement in performance all round. One thing I have noticed is that it gets very hot - more so than it used to - and 3D games tend to crash (no report of force closing, just throws me back to the desktop).

Other than that though, it's fantastic. Far better than stock. I'll be putting up a video to compare the difference - especially noticeable when using Google Currents.

Thank you thank you thank you!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] lartomar2002:
What improvements does the the CM10 or any custom JB rom make to the a700 over the stock JB? Thanks

(soon to be a700 owner)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bschrib:
Dying to know if anyone can confirm that JB somehow resolves the thermal issues that this tablet has been reported as having -- I've seen some users say it does before, but I can't actually find anyone who measured temps to prove it's more than placebo. Does CM10 help temps on anyone with an A700? (Sorry, I see the guy with the A701 it didn't help, but not sure since that's not the same as an A700).
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] lartomar2002:
I'm not 100‰ sure but, I believe the only difference between the a700 and the a701 is the sim card holder.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bschrib:
For cereal? I figured on account of the seemingly wide berth in release of ROMs that there must be some more serious chipset difference between the two. Is the A701 has a SIM card it must also have radios (does it do 4G? Or just 3G?). Would explain the big difference in releases from Acer.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Went ahead and took a dive and ordered an A700 since CM10 has been released for this device. Crossing my fingers and hope I love it. Thanks for breathing life into this device pawitp!

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

Ok, so one last question as I browse these forums -- Am I correct in understanding that there is an official JB released for the A700? I see the post discussing A701, but some comments toward the beginning mention that it's SPECIFICALLY an update for the A701 and not a full ROM therefore not compatible with the A700 -- Can anyone weigh in please?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
On certain regions, Jellybean is available for the A700, I have also received my OTA. Note that if you've installed the official JB on your device, it will install an new bootloader which is currently incompatible with CM10 and will probably not be fixed until Acer release the updated kernel source. (For those who have received their official OTAs, please help contact your local Acer support requesting the 3.1 kernel source per GPL!)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
I get my A700 back the days of Acer. Does this mean I can not change from the current JB RV033, on CWM 6.0.1.3, on CM10?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
About the differences between A700 and A701, the differences are the 3G support and the GPS is also probably different. The A700 GPS is a standalone GPS as the A701 has A-GPS enabled chip. It was the case for A500 and A501 and it might be the same here.

So an A700 ROM will work on a A701 but you will lose 3G and probably GPS support. The best proof is that Acer themselves are using A701 prototype with A700 ROM to show at different high-tech events :D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
Crap...I was just waiting until the weekend to upgrade to CM10, but I've already gotten my JB OTA. Could this cause a bricked into APX mode if it is tried, or would the install simply fail?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Issue would be, that there isn't a reliable CWM for JB. Well, there is one the Germans have been using, but I don't think those guys are doing wipes and formats and such. I keep an eye on their site. And you shouldn't think about trying it with Pawitp's ICS CWM. You'll get errors when you start it.

So, the verdict is, you're not installing CM10 yet. At least not while on a JB Bootloader. You could install his CWM, If, you roll back to ICS.

Anytime you mess with these things, there is always a possibility you can brick your device, It happens. Doesn't matter which device, but it will happen. Although Devs try to keep it to a minimum as best possible.

But I can promise you, the 51x/70x is a temperamental tablet. It's not bullet-proof like the 500/501. And it will brick just for looking cross-eyed at it.

Perhaps if Acer released some SBK, we could do some work on the bootloader and make it a little safer like with the 500 ICS bootloader. Some JB Kernel source would be nice also.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bschrib:
So one of the things that attracted me to the A700 (other than the awesome resolution) is that the bootloader is unlocked (Cause who doesn't love fastboot?) -- However I guess I didn't realize that the scene was so bereft of releases from Acer. Is this normal for Acer, or is it just an anomaly that they'll likely (based on history) release soon?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
Acer is getting better at releasing ROMs and kernel sources. A700 kernel sources have been released before the tablet was available on the market. JB sources will surely come it's just a question of time.

As for tools from Acer well... it's a question of someone leaking a support tool as Acer doesn't want to spend resources on this. Making a public recovery tool would please us but is irrelevant for most customers and would cost some money as it needs to be fail-proof. It's a pitty but it's a fact. AFAIK only Samsung pulled ressources to make Odin available to the masses and Acer is far from Samsungs financial health :)

But don't loose any hope several of us are looking around to try and find something usefull and make the A70x as fun as the A50x is :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
Is JB readily possible to return to ICS?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
I don't think it's possible to roll back from JB to ICS. The JB bootloader won't allow it.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
There is the possibility it a Nandbackup, ICS to put back? With CWM 6.0.1.4
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] meier2009:
hm, i´ve been on JB and flashed back to an early ICS SD´s Rom and then done all the Updates up to JB!!!

so i think you can go back to ICS because i´ve been there ;) hrhr and the unlocked fastboot mode is also returned and locked

like i see the SD´s Rom has an Bootloader inside, so it will change the jb bootloader to ICS bootloader

Hi pawitp

I have been running your ROM for some time now (2 months?) and have some issues. Some of them have nearly vanished after wiping, but the underlying issue still seems to be there. Things I noticed:

1) Tablet seems to be really short on memory, killing apps all the time, even the launcher. Sometimes the launcher restarts 10 times in a row. Reboot helps for some time. This has gotten better after wipe, but I still have apps dying sometimes, even the active ones. I will try to get a logcat, when it happens again, so I can see if it is the lowmemkiller

2) Sometimes the launcher UI glitches (happens with Apex and Trebuchet). Result is that I see only the wallpaper and one or two desktop icons. I can scroll left and right and the launcher does work (blind tapping launches apps). Fix is to force stop the launcher. After the first glitch the launcher is waaaay more likley to do this again and also the constant restarts of it are not helping (issue 1). I think this was mentioned before in the thread? Do you think the JB Kernel sources might help here?

3) No Memory (RAM) usage reported for nearly all apps in settings (0.00B). Maybe this is related, the lowmemkiller might be working with bad stats? Or it is just cosmetical

4) I just hooked it up to the PC to get the logcat, I see a lot of error messages from the smartdimmer feature (when interacting with the screen). Turning it off (echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/smartdimmer/enable) does not make a difference. Performence Impact?

10-21 12:37:39.833: E/hwcomposer(127): /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/smartdimmer/scenario: open failed, errno = 2

5) I saw the ZRAM feature in the settings but there seems no ZRAM support in the kernel. Can you provide the module? I would like to see if it helps with some of the RAM issues. Otherwise I suggest you remove the option

Last, but not least, let me thank you for your great work. This tablet is still a lot better then with the stock ROM. I can provide you with any additional info and do some testing if needed.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
smartdimmer will be fixed when JB kernel is released, but has no impact. Right now, I cannot do any further development until the JB kernel is released because I'm now on the JB bootloader.

Never had the UI glitches or the RAM troubles though.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] dollyvivu:
Hi Vorbeth,

I did as you said. I flashed this firmware via CWM 6.0.1.5 and then the device automatically rebooted. Now it says "Boot image verified failed". Can I somehow reflash the CWM 6.0.1.5 or is my device bricked now?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Just boot into fastboot mode and you can flash from that.

Not seen that error before.

What Rom did you have installed prior to flashing?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] dollyvivu:
I had one of the nightly before JB Kernel (dated 20121022) My Prob is before flashing this firmware I wiped data and cache. So there is no ROM installed right now. But I have some ROMS on my sdcard. If I try to plug USB cable and type fasboot reboot it says waitng for device and doesn´t reply.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
You need to make sure you are in fastboot mode, see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33209442&postcount=5

Then fastboot flash CWM & then your rom
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] dollyvivu:
Okay it worked. I had to unlock the bootloader. I then tried to flash CWM 6.0.1.5 and the message was successful. But I still can´t acces CWM but he seems to boot my previous ROM. Strange.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] misteral1970:
Hi Guys,

Running this excellent ROM on my a701, up until last night it has been amazing.

Updated with the 20121024 update (the one after 'experimental') and was unable to get past the lock screen. It booted ok, lock pattern request came up but it did not respond when I tried to enter the lock pattern.

Using the power button to get to the PowerOff/Reboot/Airplane Mode worked, but making a choice was difficult - rather than accepting the choice that I pressed, the choices just disappeared. Finally manually rebooted to recovery, rolled back to the 20121022 version and all is fine again.

Tablet is running with ICS bootloader - haven't tried flashing to JB yet...

No complaints - running nightlies on a machine that the ROM was not made for!! - just letting devs and users know.

Thanks for all your work on this - it has breathed new life into my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] edgie168:
Yep.

Flashed that JB bootloader and now I have the same problem -- screen is fairly unresponsive, even after doing a full wipe.

YMMV but I wouldn't recommend flashing that JB bootloader zip any time soon.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] FloOGB:
The update also installed a new touchscreen firmware. Did you insall the Bootloader by hand or did you use the zip Vorbeth provided? It is included there.

The installation of the JB bootloader seems to relock the device, at least in my case. Just unlock it again, fortunatly the device does not wipe itself like all others ;)

But then, I used the stock ROM from the Acer Download Page to get my bootloader updated. But I read across Vorbeth's install script and it seems alright. Vorbeth, maybe you can double check it, if the touch firmware actually gets installed?

One side question: Whats the flexrom/FLX for?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] edgie168:
Flashed via the newest touch CWM.

Right, so even doing the vol - + power won't let me boot into recovery either.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
The button combo's changed on the JB bootloader.

There is a thread on here that has the new combination.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] edgie168:
Didn't know about the changed key combo. I flashed the JB compatible cm10 while on the JB bootloader but, as I posted earlier, the screen was unresponsive. Was I doing something wrong or is this an issue with pawitip's builds at the moment?

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] cdrov:
Hi, at the moment i have stock JB and i am facing reduced sensitivity on the corners of my a700 while the rest area seems to be responsive (to tell you the truth is is far worse than my previous excellent touchpad). For example i can not even press or i can hardly press the "O" menu of the opera mobile browser on the top right corner.

Does CM10 has such problems with screen sensitivity?

Does anybody have similar experience with stock Jelly Bean ROM?

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] dollyvivu:
Hi cdrov,

I have to face the same problems. When I press the previous button in the left bottom corner I need to press it at least two or three times. :crying:
