[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
ok, this is weird:

you are saying device manager reports the boot-recovery driver installed

But there is also an unspecified APX device????

Are u using win7/64 by any chance as there have been some issues reported by those users - are u able to try another pc??

Try manually installing the driver the apx device, by pointing it to the acer folder in program data

what happens there??

- while yr tab is in apx mode you will have no access to adb or usb b/c apx is using the USB connection -

Yeh I wish it were that easy - I've been working on this for a whole week now, as lately there have been a number of "stuck in apx mode" reports - altho yours is the first of it happening using afterOTA - there just doesnt seem to be an easy way out of it,,,its happened twice previously on my tab - i got it working but i cant tell you how....i just kept trying over and over till it worked!!!

If you do give nvFlash a try - edit the .bat file and delete the "cls" commands this will give you a chance to 'see' whats going on...

another tip: after entering your sbk make sure the "system information" window pops up - it will show amongst other things your "chip uid" this is yr cpuid - if you carry on without yr tab being in "bootloader mode" you can end up with a really, truly 'brick' on yr hands - see the walkthru in my sig if you need further guidance

once it completes "loading apx mode bootloader" this is when yr tab should vibrate and display the white text "acer a500 apx mode" which is what

leads me to believe that for some reason its waiting for the driver even when it seems to be installed already.....this is where i think the problem lay.

The only other tool that may work is timmydeans v4 it uses apx mode as well but will roll u back to HC, it also repartitions and 'resets' your tabs file system as alot of tabs have got stuck on "formatting partitions" with the flash...hopefully this won't happen to yours but you'll find out after running nvFlash tool...

apxFlash has never been able to pick up the fact my tab is in apx mode, it, like afterOTA relies on adb to gather the required tab info, and of course if it doesnt recognise your tab it doesnt know its connecteD!!! At least afterota recognises this by the fact the "unbrick" menus are not greyed out...

The only other thing i might suggest is putting yr tab in apx mode manually -

Turn tab off

use a paper clip to push and hold the reset button

then press and hold the power button UNTIL the power Lite comes on

count 3 secs and release

then after another second release the reset button

might seem strange thing to try, but you never know it may just 'jog' something into life
[Acer Iconia A500] FCBelser:
Yes ... I'm using Win7 64-bit.

When I plug the USB cable into the A500 ...

1) Acer USB Boot-recovery driver shows up in Device Manager ... listed under USB controllers

2) An APX icon shows up in Devices and Printers (not in Device Manager) ... it's listed under a category call "Unspecified"

When I unplug the USB cable, both 1) and 2) go away.

For manual driver install ... are you referring to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer Inc\ACER ICONIA TAB3G\Win7\ADB\x64\android_usb.inf

-or-

C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer Inc\ACER ICONIA TAB3G\Win7\USB_ethernet_rndis\x64\acer_usb_ethernet_rndis.inf

-or- something else?

I have an older laptop running Win7 32-bit, so I'll also try that too.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
something else, lol hold on....i'll just go check
[Acer Iconia A500] FCBelser:
I tried the paper clip / power button trick ... and then back to AfterOTA on Win7x64 ... no luck. I also tried AfterOTA on my laptop (Win7 32-bit) ... exact same problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
ok this is where things get even weirder...and from memory it was a real pain to get this apx device installed....windows kept wanting an inf file but i'm positive that in the end i got it to install from a folder - i just cant remember how????

I cancelled the hardware wizard from doing its thing

then in the next window there are 2 options

let windows choose or let me choose - something like that

i kept trying let me choose and got nowhere

then i think i tried "search my computer" and chose the C drive - i'm sure it found the right ones that way

and i think i uninstalled all acer and android drivers, rebooted and reinstalled them before i could get any joy....i know it took a good 5-6 hours of mucking about - until finally something worked...

and yes def give 32 bit a go before we get too carried away!!!

oh no... i think i've jsut got stuck in apx mode...

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

then the only other thing to do is a rollback using timmydeansv4. run the tool without yr cable connected and wait for the instructions to put yr tab into manual apx mode - you wont have to worry bout that seeing as you're in it already!!! connect yr cable and click OK - enter cpuid and wait 10mins for it to do its thing...it won't take any longer than this -

let us know how you go!! and good luck m8
[Acer Iconia A500] FCBelser:
Where can I find timmydeansv4? Google search isn't finding it.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
i renamed the Acer Folder in Program Files

I then put my tab in manual apx

when the driver went to install

i cancelled "skip searching windows update"

in usb controllers an acer picasso boot recovery is listed

AND in Printers and Hardware the APX device is there - i didnt do anything with it at all

I fired up afterOTA but it couldnt see my tab

So I used civs V8 nvflash pckg

tab went into the proper apx mode with the txt displayed

it flashed and now running v8 and cwm 1.7.3

I did this via HC 3.1 win7 32
[Acer Iconia A500] FCBelser:
That worked !!!

I followed your The Chickens Guide to Flashing the bootloader manually after installing the USB driver from the Acer support website. Now I'm back to ICS without having lost any of my data or settings.

A couple of noob questions:

1) Would an ota update from Acer wipe out the newly installed V8 bootloader & Thor 1.7.3 recovery?

2) What's the most reliable way to root ICS?

Thanks so much for your patience with my problem!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Oh m8 thats made my day:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: rapt for u!!!

So u think it was the drivers??

1) don't know, we haven't recd an ota to find out - but in my experience nothing wipes unless u do! An EUU may do it or an official updaate.zip.

2) icsroot by blackthund3r google it

3) if u install a custom rom you will need to do a full wipe and format via cwm b4 and after flashing this includes Jr internal storage else all sorts of glitches happen.

Your welcome., as I said its been a problem with no real solution, awesome to know it that in the end it finally worked:D
[Acer Iconia A500] FCBelser:
I'm not sure it is the drivers. I installed Acer USB Driver v1.00.0524 (2011-10-06) from the Acer website. It appears to be the same version installed by AfterOTA. Maybe it's something else in AfterOTA that just gets hung up on a combination of hardware and software that wasn't anticipated? I'm sure gersma couldn't anticipate or check out every combination.

I'll try ICS Root.

Thanks again for all the help.

i have exactly the same problem, issue is that wen ur in APX mode and win7 has detected ur acer recovery driver and when u start your process of ICS rooting OR apxflashing or bootloading whatever the USB driver disconnects and that's the reason why nothing works and its stuck in partiton format or what ever process your in btwn and when you once again in a hurry power off the device and power u the acer recovery driver, its back there but still its stuck nothing goes on... Also even when acer recovery driver is there and you enter any mode then it says device not connected or found...please help
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
If the usb connection is disconnecting here's a few things you can check.

Both sets of drivers are installed. The Acer ones and the android ones.

Try a different usb cable.

Win 64 bit has issues try xp, ,vista or win 7 machine.

If still no joy try civs manual flash or Ubuntu.

Sounds like a driver issue so check those first.

Thanks so much for the reply the drive i have is Acer USB boot recovery drive and before that Picasso was visible .. there is just one driver how can i get two drives here? i have read many forum and the links they gaved is Just one two drivers, one was Picasso and the other was simple that i mentioned at first but the Device Manager just shows one (Acer USB boot recovery drive)

Three cables are changed but all it happens that it stuck at partition fomating or flashing recovery

how is everyone finding n64oid on their nexus 7? in mario 64 the game is very smooth but every now and then it hands for a second or so and usually gets a little laggy before hanging.

Also tried fpse with metal gear solid and can get past the main menu. I had this problem before on my xperia play and just had to keep setting the bios but there is no menu button on the nexus 7 so can get to the correct menu. any ideas?

I think if you're worried about 'lag', you should see how the game plays on a high specced pc - as far as I know, most N64 emulators have bugs with all sorts of games, and it depends on which file you're using to play the game, etc, so there is a solid chance it isn't down to the N7.

Hi to all! I really need your help, the past week I notted that my phone just stoped charging the battery at 69%, I thought that the problem was the battery, so I buyed a new one yesterday and the problem is still there, I already wiped my phone to the factory settings, I have the official 4.0 and its very anoying

Someone can help me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] teeg07:

Have you tried a different charger? maybe plugging into a computer and seeing if that charges it further?

I would imagine that a new battery and full on reset would help. How long have you had the phone?

Are you trying the factory cable/adapter?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
What are using to determine battery status? Menu... Settings... Battery. Or are you using a PlayStore app. I ask because market app "Battery Solo Widget" uses 69% as their default icon image... if using that, just reset your widget... If not, idk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
Let he phone charge to max, if it stops at 69, get battery calibration from the play store. It will show battery percentage and millivolts. It may say 69 but if the millivolts are at 4100mv or right around there, its full and you just Need to wipe battery stats.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compusmurf:
I don't think this will work. I've looked at it and the stock dialer uses 1 sound effect for all buttons. it's located in the standard area media\ui. You can easily replace that 1 file with another but that's all you'll get is a replacement single sound.

Only real solution I've found is aftermarket dialer with it coded in. Question is, why would you care what the button presses sound like? The actual REAL DTMF coding occurs when you press the dial button.

How you want to download a lot if you are asking only for few MB within shell account? You will keep all the files there or you will download it to your computer? 200-300kb/s is pretty solid speed and within few days you can download almost all. Although if you really insist on shell try http://www.bshellz.net/ but I still think virtual linux is your best bet.

In my country the speed depends on where you live and what speed you choose to pay for. 1GB in shell is quite a lot. I doubt you get any for free. On the other hand 1GB with 200-300kb/s is nothing, so I would go for VirtualBox solution. I am using it too.
