[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] CheopsChefren:
Thanks for your answer. The problem is, an unmodified update script wont run either on my unlocked A700.

And, I am scared about using CWM, as I hear stories it will possibly brick your A700, and that is something I am not too keen about.

But, with Root Explorer compared to ES File Explorer you have more possibilities. But I agree, it was abit a silly question.

So now, how to update my unlocked A700 with the OTA delivered by Acer? That's the question..... :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Sterist:
by my understanding, the CWM versions to avoid are 5.4.0.0 (something like that) and the touch version(s)

unlocking your bootloader and not installing CWM is like alcohol-free-beer... pointless.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] CheopsChefren:
When trying the above mentioned procedure, i first got an error 6, which i solved by editing the updater-script the second time with notepad++, so i could keep the unix-like line-ends.

Then when i tried to run the update.zip from within cwm, i got error status 7.

(On both the downloaded update file from the thread mentioned above, and from the original from Acer received OTA update file)

As far as i know, after googling error status 7 has to do with the update zip not for the system trying to update. But i am sure, as i also tried with the Acer received OTA (after deleting the first line in the updater-script), i used the correct update file.

What could cause this?

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] eman01:
OK. I finally tried above method to update rooted U.S. A700.

Started with:

Image Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_PA_CUS1

Build Acer_AV043_A700_1.029.00_PA_CUS1

CWM Recovery 6.0.1.1

I tried both methods above- initially using the update.zip specifically provided for U.S. A700 owners in the 2nd part of 1st post of this thread

IN "BONUS FOR USA TAB OWNERS!".

Tried it on 1st external SD, then internal SD.

Both ways I get RED TRIANGLE with exclamation point and message:

"Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(bad)"

OR

"Can't open /emmc/update.zip

(bad)"

I am, of course, sure I copied the update.zip directly from Downloads to the root of the external and internal cards;

I also made sure to use "Choose zip from SD card" in CWM to find the Update.zip file right where I put it.

Not ready to quit, I tried again using the original Update zip file and modifying updater.script myself, exactly as described in the 1st part of the 1st post. I also tried this update.zip with modified updater.script on both the external and internal SD, without success.

This time I did get further, receiving:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Mount Data success

Verifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check_("EMMC:\dev\block\platform\sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX:4065536:95

Then a bunch of letters/numbers

E:Error in sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

P.S. I verified I have the assert line deleted in the updater.script before I tried this.

I should mention that I have stock ROM, have and have NOT deleted any system apps

(I have inactivated a few like VirusScan within Android).

Luckily I was able to reboot without any problems after all these attempts, but now I am stuck.

Any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Sterist:
hmmm that's an error i haven't seen before. try deleting the update and downloading it again, or disabling assert check

I'm not a developer, that's the best i can suggest. you'd have to ask someone with a bit more knowledge

it might have something to do with the root method you used originally
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] eman01:
Well, I tried yIur modified update.zip multiple times (downloaded it 3 different times, and tried both internal and external SD). As mentioned, I also tried modifying the updater.script myself (used JOTA text editor; maybe that was an issue with respect to how it saves a file, etc.).

How does one disable assert check, as you describe? A link, perhaps?

Interestingly, today I was able to flash the original1.029 update (1st A700 OTA update) after modifying it's updater.script in exactly the same fashion you describe. It put me back to stock 1.029, which I then updated to stock 1.057 (2nd A700 OTA update). I then re-unlocked bootloader, re-rooted and re-installed CWM recovery 6.0.1.1 easily and successfully as described in the threads in A700 development in this forum. Still holding out on CM ROM, as it seems fairly buggy. Thanks for trying. My way definitely took longer; don't know why your direct method would not work on my tab. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Sterist:
disable asset check should be one of about 4 or 5 options to choose from, right next to ''choose from internal'' / external

it actually might not be available on this device it's been a while since I've used CWM

i do these modifications right from my tab with ES file explorer.

glad you were able to get it working

[solved] US A700 rooted OTA update

hi all,

after few days of messing about I finally managed to update a rooted US A700. I will try to guide you through what I did.

After initially booting up the A700 I upgraded it OTA to AV043_A700_RV07RC06_PA_CUS1 and after that rooted it using method #2 in the rooting thread (method #1 didn't work for some reason)

Got OTA notification saying that AV043.RV23RC03_PA_CUS1 was available (performance update, 35.72MB in size) but that wouldn't install giving error Status 7.

Installed CWM 6.1.1, still tthe same results, it wouldn't even install any of the other ROM's that are posted in this forum.

I probably should mention that I saved the original OTA update for installation later.

here is the solution (at least in my case)

Downloaded ROM Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC06_PA_CUS1.zi p from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1720157

Extracted boot.img and flashed via fastboot flash boot boot.img

Rebooted into CWM recovery and flashed the earlier saved OTA update no problem (was saved on internal memory but external memory card should work as well)

Then all that needed to be done was to root the A700 again (I used method #2 again)

Hope that helps someone.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] alx5962:
You are not using the original bootloader so checking failed.

Simply delete this line to fix it (it happened to me last week when I created my homemade OTA update). Don't forget to unlock your bootloader after that !
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] GenghisKhan67:
Followed the instructions and the update is installed without any error messages, however, after reboot, I am stuck at the "Iconia Tab" logo. What can I do to fix this? I want to return the tablet to factory condition for a refund. Thanks.

EDIT: I'll just play the dumb card and return this POS to the store as is. Worst purchase ever, I'm going back to Asus.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Sterist:
sorry, i haven't checked the forum lately

if you still have it, unlock the bootloader and restore a backup
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] iceman198:
Stuck at Iconia logo at reboot [SOLVED]

Just in case anyone is running into this issue as I was. I followed the instructions in the post (downloaded the US version...unzipped, and modified the update.script). Flashed the zip (from external SD card) and upon reboot, I would get the original boot animation, then it would just sit at the "ICONIA" logo....forever. Plugged in USB and opened up ADT (android eclipse) and watched the logcat just loop.

Long story short, fastboot and unlock the boot loader again (see this guide for key combos) and get into CWM (will need to use the key combos again). This time, do the standard fresh ROM procedures.

1) Wipe user data

2) Wipe cache

3) Wipe dalvik (in the advanced menu)

4) Install from zip (internal/external...whatever...external worked fine for me was it was easy enough for me to put the zip on with a computer)

Also, when it is done and you do the 'reboot now', the next prompt will ask if you want CWM to keep it's 'recovery.img'. CHOOSE NO!!!!....if you want the rom to be able to do it's updates. I would also choose no on the next prompt too (to keep root)...as chances are, if you got yourself into this mess, you know how to do these things pretty good anyways. :)

If you were to get a 7.5 id get a lumia 900

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leapo:
Yeah, I thought the same thing for a while. I had planned to stick with my 1st gen Samsung Focus until WP8 handsets started coming out...

I was mugged last week; they took everything I was carrying on me at the time, including my Samsung Focus. I needed a new cell phone and I wanted to keep access to all the apps I had purchased, so I headed down to the AT&T store and picked up a Nokia Lumia 900 for $49

Two words: Worth it.

The Lumia 900 is faster than the Focus in every possible sense... way faster. I play a lot of Servivalcraft on my phone, and the Focus struggled to maintain a decent framerate with the resolution set to "Low," where as the Lumia 900 has no trouble maintaining 60fps with the resolution set to "High". Apps that hadn't run the smoothest on the Focus (like Amazing Weather) run with no effort at all on the Lumia 900. The upgrade also doubled my internal storage from 8GB to 16GB, and the Lumia appears to have much faster read/write speeds.

Oh, and the gyroscope. The Focus had to make due with emulating a gyroscope by using data from the compass and the accelerometers. The Lumia has a real gyroscope and it shows. Apps like Photosynth work far, far more easily on the 900.

I sent it into warranty because I removed the data cable while it was flashing (Odin Multi Downloader (Android) was writing in the black box and it was stuck at MIBIB)

It had 2.3.6 XWHTH/XWKT4 installed.

When I recieved it I noticed it has 2.2.1 XXKB1/XWKA8. When connected to ODIN, it detects it, it adds it but in the black box mentioned above is still Odin Multi Downloader (Android)

I am afraid to start the update because .. you know.. I don't wanna send it again 300 miles away from here.

I guess it fine, whether it shows Android or GT-S5570 (happened to me at times) Just use Tass_v1.0.ops and the one package system, your screenshot looks fine.

Just check whether your downloaded firmware is good, just try extracting.

Even I got the same error that you've mentioned in your first post, that MIBIB error message. Just try again. If it doesn't work download another version and try flashing it.

EDIT: Probably you won't brick your device because Odin will not flash the firmware past that MIBIB error.

Dear all, very new as a rooter of my One X (International version). All fine yesterday, unlocked bootloader via HTCDev site, installed CWM touch recovery, SuSU, Rom Manager and Tit Backup, made backups(nandroid and Titanium) with no problems. Kept the original Sense ROM, then today received OTA update, after which I've lost use of ROM manager(wont boot into CWM or restore backups)and Titanium(says I dont have root access.

I'd like to keep it unrooted and have it fully functional as yesterday.

From rebooting it says it's unlocked, but when I try the recovery option, get an android screen then the phone fully boots.

Tried to re-flash CWM, which said successful, but hasnt fixed the problem.

can someone tell me what I've done by using the OTA update, and how to get back my working root access. Any help greatly appreciated.

Or....you could be civil about it. Call care, and plead your case, nicely. They have been known to allow customers out of a contract without and etf so long as the equipment gets returned, ask them if they'll make exception for you and let you do that

EDIT: never mind, I read your original post. I do think it's unreasonable to expect to not have to return the phone and not pay an etf either. Regardless of the amount you paid for the phone, you did enter a contract, and sprint ate a lot of money up front when you signed that contract.

If you feel so strongly about it, though, just cancel and eat the etf cost, and you should more than make up for it by how much you can sell the phones on eBay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I've been a Sprint customer for 10+ years and I've had almost zero complaints until these dang smart phones became the mainstream thing to have. Back when I had my Samsung Instinct the speeds were GOOD. For example, tethering was around 1.5mb all day long. By the time I got the EVO 4G though, things went down the toilet. Smart phones got super popular and Sprint simply couldn't handle it.

To top that off we got slapped in the face with a $10 dollar premium for 4G, oh excuse me "premium data" that doesn't even work for most of us. I have no 4G here and I' lucky to get 50kb's on 3G. I get 1.2mb on the Verizon PRL though.

I'd been using the 11115 PRL and toggling between Sprint and Verizon when I needed more speed but I've recently switched to the 00002 PRL in hopes of getting dropped. I shouldnt HAVE to toggle to Verizon to make my phone work.

I've complained to Sprint, they simply do not care. I bet they will start to care when I plug my phone in this weekend and pick some random Blue-ray sized files to torrent over 3G.

Can't wait to get over to AT&T or Verizon. I loved Sprint when it worked. I'd rather have a 5GB cap that works then unlimited that doesn't. Who cares about unlimited if you can't use it?

The plus side to having them boot me is I can keep my Epic Touch and resell it to help re-coop some of the money I feel I got scammed out of dealing with Sprint now that they don't seem to want to fix their network or compensate those of us who are/were loyal customers and are sick of this slow non-usable network.

amen sister.

I'm almost 1 year into my 2 year contract with sprint and I cannot wait until I can get out of it. I signed on because of unlimited data, which is great because I get 4g at work, but if I'm not at work or near one of the sp****ly placed 4g towers, I'm screwed.

do you have 4g wherever you go in your city?

My problem is that there are 6 4g towers placed around cincinnati and if you're not withing 1-2 miles of it, no 4g for you. Then, because we are a fairly dense market, the 3g speeds suck and the phone is almost useless.

Sprint does suck. Sprint has fallen so far behind the competition that i'm shocked that anybody ever renews a contract with them.
