Hi All

I just flashed the boot loader after having this A100 rooted for almost a year now and was ready to flash this recovery. I had a couple of questions first. I have a fully rooted A500 and am usually using the zip file from my ext. SD card. I see the image posted here and wanted to know if I can just flash it from stock recovery?

Or is it better for me to just use ADB to flash this. Also if I can flash it from stock recovery what would be the steps. Thanks much for your time.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Can't flash anything non Acer from stock recovery, you'll need to fast boot flash it the first time, after that you can flash recovery from recovery.

Alternately you can use the goo app to install it for you without a PC. Just make sure you're boot loader unlocked first.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] splatoid:
I kind of thought that was what I was reading but am a little thick in the head sometimes. Got it all done without a hitch and am in the process of backing up my stock crap before installing that nice looking Green Rom. Thanks for your quick reply.

Just wanted to say this Rom is sweet. Thanks so much. Runs real smooth right off the get go.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] splatoid:
I wanted to share something real strange that happened to my last night when I unlocked the boot loader. I don't know how this could be related to the unlocking but after I finished and restarted the tablet it got so unresponsive that I thought something went wrong. So I restarted the tablet again and same thing. I noticed at this time that the download arrow was active and everything was being updated. I mean everything. So I shut off my Wi-Fi and a whole bunch of errors popped up for all the programs that had been interrupted form downloading. That is what was hanging up my tablet. Is that weird or what. But I did the rom flash and this baby runs soooo good. And thanks for the help.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Play store updating or app installing in general lags the system pretty bad, just let it update then use it as normal. I notice it even on quad core beast DNA.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] splatoid:
I know that is true but it was weird that the store thought everything on my tablet needed updating all at once. Never seen it do that before.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] splatoid:
Well its me again! I was getting ready to flash A JB rom so I always make sure before I use the wipe menu that I can see and access my install files and my backup files. So I did that and after I did the wipe. I don't see anymore install zip files. I have spent much time looking. I did see my backup files in another partition but in the install partition nothing. I'm tempted to try and switch over to CWM as I've never ran into anything like this with that option. I'm in the process of looking for a zipped CWM file now but would rather figure out this problem. I know I have been able to see files in the install partition before that's how I flashed this thing originally. I will also add I do see all my other files on the external sd card just no install files.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Are they on the external SD? That's where it looks and mounts by default, not internal.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] splatoid:
Well I figured it out. I used the reset to default and it fixed my issue. I don't know what I did to change a setting but I will know what to do now.

Thanks again.

Problem with Backup

Hi guys

Installed TWRP recovery and everything seems fine so fan, except one thing:

When i do a backup, it saves it in "Computer\Acer Iconia Tab A100\Internal Memory\TWRP\BACKUPS\0000000000000000\**backup 01.02.2000**", like it should, just a normal NANDROID backup.

But then, when i browse the root of the internal SDcard, it makes a folder "0" with the whole contents of the backup, i just made.

So isnt everything now backed up two times? I'm a bit confused :silly:

Thanks for your help guys! :good:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I take it from that path you're on a 4.2 or 4.3 ROM and browsing from your PC. In that case, its normal, the mounts changed in 4.2 for multi user, its just "showing" the same path on the PC, its still going where it needs to which is now that /0 directory.

It maps to the new directory so its fine. If you notice the path on the PC isn't actually correct anyways, it just shows from what it considers the root of the SD card as internal storage to the PC, where that actually is on the device is whatever the device considers it to be, be it data/media like before or /0 in 4.2/4.3.

That /0 changes if more users are added, so another user you may see /0 and /10 and another user adds /20 and so on.

Unfortunately the only thing I did on my end was taking the existing TWRP builds that have been uploaded on GOO.IM and put them into the existing Windows and Linux installers. So at this point all we can do is wait for TWRP to get fixes implemented for Kit Kat 4.4 which I'm assuming will happen sooner or later. Nothing I can really do on this issue at this point. I don't even own an A100 any more as well.

[Unofficial][Recovery] TWRP 3.0.1 Update

Here is an unofficial updated version of TWRP recovery for the A100. Just download the zip file and flash it in your current recovery.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
Its been a few years since I did this work, so the original links may very well be broken I submitted my work to open recovery/twrp and it was approved to become official, so after that TWRP should have the a100 support built by them. I will try to confirm this if need be. I'll update OP with new links for new versions.

Thanks guys and sorry I've not been around for Iconia work for a few years, I don't even remember what I did with that device so I can't test anything but all of my stuff back then was pretty well tested, I don't really see what benefit you'd have by using a newer TWRP but if you need latest and greatest then so be it :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] naeem046:
While TWRP 2.2.2.1 can be a useful tool for rooting and customizing your Acer Iconia Tab A100, it's important to note that it is an older version of TWRP and may not be fully compatible with the latest Android operating systems. Additionally, installing custom software can potentially void your device's warranty and may introduce security risks. It's important to proceed with caution and thoroughly research any modifications before proceeding. That being said, if you're an experienced Android user and know what you're doing, TWRP 2.2.2.1 can still be a viable option for customizing your device.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] narokochi:
While TWRP 2.2.2.1 presents itself as a handy tool for rooting and personalizing your Acer Iconia Tab A100, it's crucial to acknowledge that this version is outdated and might not offer full compatibility with the latest Android operating systems. Moreover, the installation of custom software carries inherent risks, including the potential voiding of your device's warranty and exposure to security vulnerabilities. A cautious approach is advised, urging users to conduct thorough research on any modifications before proceeding. Nevertheless, for adept Android enthusiasts who possess a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved, TWRP 2.2.2.1 remains a viable option for those seeking to customize their devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Hi people,

I did some googling and found that a lot of people struggle with this, but no one seems to have a definite solution.

Recently I flashed a newer ROM on my SGS I9100, Resurrection Remix v3.0.2 (JB 4.1.1), and noticed that I have no data access on the mobile network. I checked and found that there were no APNs in the list and I couldn’t add any either.

I tried the following which was suggested by a few people:

- Reboot the device

- Disable/enable flight mode and reboot

- Choose “3G Only”

- Add APN and wait a few minutes before saving

- Add APN and use back button instead of menu option to save

- Reinstall ROM

None of the above solved the problem. I also replaced the apns-conf.xml file with one from a known working ROM, but that didn’t work either.

I then tried different kernels, modems and ROMs, but to no avail.

(Kernals, modems & ROMs listed in order by which it was tested)

Kernels:

Siyah 4.0.1 (From ResRemix)

xxKernel (came with cMIUI, didn’t check the version)

Siyah 4.1 Beta6 (from ResRemix)

Siyah 4.1 RC1 (From website)

Modems:

XXLPJ

BVLP7

XXLPX

ROMs:

Resurrection Remix v3.0.1 (JB v4.1.1)

Resurrection Remix v3.0.2 (JB v4.1.1)

cMIUI v2.8.10 (ICS 4.0.4)

Resurrection Remix v3.0.5 (JB v4.1.1)

Finally I decided to go back to ResRemix v3.0.1 and it works again. But now I need to know why, because it means that I’m stuck on an old ROM.

My next step would have been to replace the SIM card, but I now know it's a software related problem.

Just to confirm, my data is working with the following: (It also works with other combinations of kernels and modems, but not ROMs)

Resurrection Remix v3.0.1

Siyah v4.1 RC1

XXLPX

Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

See post #29 for the solution ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Ok, so judging by the views to replies ratio on this thread, I'm going to assume that there's no easy fix.

I manually populated the preferred-apn.xml and also deleted the telephony.db file, but that didn't do anything.

The only progress that I made was when I checked the logs. Every time I attempt to create a VPN there's an error saying “Failed setting numeric 'null' to the current operator”. The log entry is created by a file called TelephonyProvider.java and the specific code is as follows:

{

// null out the previous operator

db.update("carriers", s_currentNullMap, "current IS NOT NULL", null);

String numeric = initialValues.getAsString("numeric");

int updated = db.update("carriers", s_currentSetMap,

"numeric = '" + numeric + "'", null);

if (updated > 0)

{

if (Config.LOGD) {

Log.d(TAG, "Setting numeric '" + numeric + "' to be the current operator");

}

}

else

{

Log.e(TAG, "Failed setting numeric '" + numeric + "' to the current operator");

}

break;

}

If I find a solution I'll post it.

Solutions:

1.

Flash your new ROM on your old ROM following this instruction:

-boot to CWM recovery

-wipe cache partition

-wipe dalvik cache

-format /system (under mount and storage)

-flash ROM

-flash gapps

-fix permissions (under Advanced)

-reboot phone

Your APN will still remain intact, and your phone will work perfectly fine

2.

On your present ROM,

- Download APN backup & restore from market

- run the app and back up your APN

On your new ROM,

-reboot your phone

-Check if your APN is still missing, if yes then,

-restore your APN using that app

Good luck

Hi Jokesy,

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried solution 2 last night on cMIUI v2.8.10 and v2.8.24 (ICS and JB), but unfortunately it didn't work. According to the app the APN restore completes successfully, but the APN list stays empty.

I also attempted to give WRITE_APN_SETTINGS permissions to the APN Backup & Restore app, but for some reason the PM command missed some parameters. (I did convert APN Backup & Restore to a system app because of the ICS restrictions)

Because of the PM command not working I couldn't use CatLog to check if the same error comes up.

I will try solution 1 tonight with ResRemix v3.0.1 and ResRemix v3.0.5.

Solution 1. Will work

Swyped from Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Unfortunately not... I flashed ResRemix v3.0.1 and confirmed that the APNs are there and mobile data is working. I then rebooted into CWM and flashed ResRemix v3.0.5 exactly as you instructed. Immediately after booting I checked the APNs and they were gone and I couldn't create any either. I even rebooted a few times and also tried solution 2 again, but no APNs.

Using the same instructions, I flashed back to ResRemix v3.0.1 and without even having to reboot, the APNs were all back and working.

I'm convinced that something recently changed on ICS and JB in regards with the telephonyprovider files/settings, I just need to know what.

And you still cannot manually add your APN?

I'm running jellybean paranoid ROM, and I always manually add my APN without any issue.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Nope, I'm still getting the “Failed setting numeric 'null' to the current operator” log entry every time I try to manually add the settings.

In my opinion it's not a ROM specific problem seeing as I tried cMIUI and ResRemix. I even want to go so far as to say the Paranoid ROM, if recently updated, will give me the same problems. The ROMs I flashed are used by thousands of people around the world, and almost none of them have this problem. The people that do struggle are usually in smaller countries... What I'm trying to say is that something recently change which affects service providers located in lesser known countries (I'm in South Africa), and judging by the log entry, the ROM doesn't correctly detect the provider ID.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Knowledge:

It's the Rom problem, cmiui and aokp Roms are based on CYANOGENMOD. They contain more bugs than their CYANOGEN base.

I'm sure if Samsung should release official jellybean update,it not have this problem.

For instance, some users can never get H+ to work on AOSP based Roms no matter what. And this not even a problem for stock based Roms.

This is also another bug on AOSP based Roms which will only affect very few people, but a bug is still a bug.

In my own case, CYANOGENMOD will always set wrong APN settings for my provider.

Why? I don't know.

Solving the problem:

what's the MCC MNC for your provider? mine is 621 and 50 respectively.

Swyped from Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Ok, that makes sense, so I'll try the Paranoid ROM this weekend. But I would still like to figure out why only a few people have this problem.

Mine is 655 and 10, ZA MTN. Do you perhaps know how Android decides which APN settings to use from the apns-conf.xml file? Maybe on MCC?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes.

Manually edit apns-conf.xml file in the zip of the Rom you would like to flash.

Use Notepad++

-Search for your provider, Mtn

There will be many Mtn, so look for the Mtn for your country.

-it must have the an ID of 655-10

-edit it's default settings, change it to the correct one

-If there more than one APN, then change everything, except for your mms APN.

-If your carrier is totally missing, then you must manually input it there following the format found in the file, follow the order, don't just input it anywhere

-save file

-flash your ROM as normal

-all should be well, if you edit it right

Swyped from Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
The problem isn't incorrect settings in the apns-conf.xml file, they are all correct. The problem is that it's not pulling through as APN settings. But just to make sure it's not the file, I copied the file from ResRemix v3.0.1 (working) to ResRemix v3.0.5 and it still wouldn't populate the APNs.

Here is how I understand the process, the system:

- Gets network ID from SIM card

- Uses network ID to check if APN settings exist in apns-conf.xml

- If settings exist, continue to next step, else end

- Create APN entries

(I'm sure it's actually a bit more complicated than that)

According to what I've seen on the ROM, it's only failing on step 4. Somewhere in the settings creation process it's incorrectly referencing a field that needs to pull through, hence the "Failed setting numeric 'null' to..." log entry.

One solution that might possibly work is if I manually populate those fields in the backend. But I'm not really sure where those settings are saved. My guess would be a SQL DB, but I haven't been able to find it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Ok I see.

But it's still the Rom's fault.

Remove your SIM,

Do full wipe,

Also manually format /system before flashing the Rom,

Fix permissions after flashing the Rom

And let's see.

If it's still not working then give paranoid or pure CM10 ROM a try

Good luck
