You're bricked. Sorry to say.

Which version of CWM are you using?

It sounds like your /Data partition is corrupted. And, you can't repair it.

This is what was happening with the earlier versions of CWM. Which is why I need to know, which version CWM are you on?

The earlier version of CWM corrupted the /Data partition when a recovery was made and/or restored, or a /data wipe was made. Initial tests proved a recovery backup could be made, but an attempt to restore such backup resulted in...slow OS, inability to download apps to the /data partition, slowdown in overall OS. In the end, the error could not be recovered, resulting in a mainboard change.

Even if you are running the new recovery, I would guess, that if you restored a backup from the original recovery, that could result in a corrupted /data partition.

Which is why the question is imperative, which version recovery are you using?

I already talked to him about it in PM, he will send his device in for repairs. He wasn't using my recovery, but one of the others (5.8.4.5) that are known to cause bricks...

If it hasn't happened already, those threads should be closed or the downloads take offline, to prevent further problems with other devices.

Well, it's good to know it's not the New CWM version. I'm still waiting for my 701 from repair (same thing).

I'll pm the FSM's and see about doing something with the old "Brick-0-Matic" CWM threads.

It's a pity having a device bricked, but, at least some good came out of it in the end. Usually happens when devices are first released.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] civato:
I see you have the GPS patch build in for the lto.data file.

Did you adjust the IP in the bin file from that patch?

The original IP is not valid anymore, they use a other one now .

So if you want to be able to download the lto.data a other IP is needed.

This is the correct one now, so change it in the get-gps-lto bin file or whatever name you gave it.

lto_dat_url=http://216.34.140.162/7day/latest/lto.dat

To test it go to terminal and type , su(enter) name of the bin file you gave it (enter)

Now it should download the new one or say it is not needed because it is not older then 5 days.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Jesse6749:
For me CM10 has been the best and I have been using it since Nothrills released it, no problems so far to speak of. I had a rebooting issue before but I caused that and fixed it by doing a clean install and it has been perfect since then.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Phreak87:
Hello,

i use FrankenRom and AlmostStock updated Kernel. CM10 caused many Reboots

and freezes sometimes. Franken700 is the best Rom for me.

Can´t waiting for the new Release of FrankenRom with Android 4.1.1.

Stability of FrankenRom is 1++, no Reboots, Freezes, Micro-Stops, ...

Akku lifetime seems to be good !

Thanks in Advance.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] kleem:
I was running CM10 and really liked it. It performed much better than stock in my opinion. I switched over to FRANKEN 700 however, since I missed having the Dolby mobile support too much. It's a great ROM too, with some extra goodies included, and has ran fairly stable for me. So because of Dolby, it's the ROM for me. I look forward to the new release.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] xamindar:
I finally tried this rom and it seems pretty good. But one thing is really bugging me. At least one cpu core always sits at 100% and the frequency also hovers at 1300 mhz most of the time. And this is with no live wallpaper.

Back of tablet also stays a little warm compared to stock com.

Anyone else have these issues? You can use tegra stats app to watch cpu cores and speed.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] xamindar:
Thank you, that got the cpu usage on all 4 cores to drop down to 0-3% but the frequency stays at 1300 while awake. Maybe this kernel is using a different governor. Much better though, thank you.

But now I have another rom to try. Thank you Nothrils! But which kernel does this new one use?

EDIT: oh I see the changelog in second post.

Ugh! The opengl renderer still runs out of memory on this rom causing maps, gmail, and various other apps to flicker and crash. I can't believe there are not more people complaining about this. It makes it impossible to use maps.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] picard47:
Works quite well but chrome does not start and unfortunetely the acceleration sensors have bugs like stock rom.

Nevertheless it's propably the best A510 ROM at the moment.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] NoThrills:
That seems to be an annoying bug, but unfortunately I can't reproduce it. GMail and Maps work just fine here. I think I saw a kernel patch somewhere though, perhaps I could see if I can incorporate that into the ThrillsKernel.

Do you get an error when starting Chrome? Again, it works fine here...

Great rom btw Many thanks to the author!

Just one question, I was expecting lower boot time from the deodexed files, but it feels the same as the .99 original Acer before. Haven´t measured it exactly yet but just wondering if anyone has an idea why Windows 7 boots faster on a PC than Android on that tablet ? :rolleyes:

Thank you NoThrills, this Jelly Bean ROM is working great so far!

One thing I noticed in addition to the mic not working is the colors seem a bit on the white side like things are washed out a little. I notice it a lot in maps. Maybe it's just the way this ROM is. Either way, it's nothing serious. Actually, it seems mostly with some fonts. Some letters are a little faded in parts as they don't seem to be pixel perfect.

Also, the touchscreen is still not sensitive enough for my stylus. This must just be a hardware limitation at this point.

Thanks again for the great update.

Microphone Not Working

Great Rom No thrills....as many others have posted, the microphone is not working.

This is a kepper :good:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] kleem:
I've seemed to be able to get the mic working by installing AlsaMixer. When you go into it, you can select 'Int Mic' and type in 'Playback on'. The completed command is;

alsa_amixer sset 'Int Mic' 'Playback on'

or you can use this command from terminal or adb. I'm not sure how to make this setting persistent so it has to be done every time you reboot. The 'apply on boot' won't do the trick (even after remounting /system rw).

After a little more playing around, I think I could make it persistent. I ran 'alsa_ctl store' to create /system/etc/asound.state and then after reboot ran 'alsa_ctl restore' and it restored my mixer settings. I suppose you put the restore command into an init script. This probably isn't the right solution, but I guess it would work.

The next thing I found though is that google search isn't working. It recognizes what I say, but then It crashes with 'Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped'. It doesn't seem to be working for plain text searches either. Recorder app also crashes when you press the record button. I tried the mic with soundhound and it worked fine.

Ok, probably found another audio bug: Connected the device via MHL HDMI Adapter to the TV and got no audio at all. Tried to disable dolby mobile but no difference. After disconnecting the cable from the device the audio does not return (need to restart).

i hope it's ok, if i made a little advertise to my minimalisticCleaner-script! if not i can delete this sentence.

with my script for FrankenRom you can simply uninstall google- and acer-apps in /system and flexrom on your device.

So try it out, it's safe memory and ram-memory, moreover there are not so many apps that run in background..

the script based on aroma-installer and you can comfortable choose, which apps you want to uninstall or install...

Same here.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] NoThrills:
I think I have fixed most of the bugs, except the mic (and apparently, HDMI) audio bugs.

My guess for now is this has to do with the 2.6 kernel I'm using whereas the A700 originally got this ROM shipped with a 3.0 kernel. I've had time to look at the 3.0 kernelsource but not enough for now.

I've checked by simply running the A700 stock ROM on my device, but with my kernel. Same bugs occur so it's not to do with my tweaking in the OS itself. As the A700 doesn't have these bugs I'm pretty sure it's kernel related. I'd rather not install the A700 original kernel on my device. Although it would probably work somewhat, as long as Acer refuses to remove their device-bricking code I'm staying the heck away from their kernels :)

Alas, I have to put some more time into getting a 3.0 kernel up and running from source.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Phreak87:

Hi guys, I've not really flashed ROMs before. But I'm rooted and I believe I do have the technical acumen to get this done.

Quick questions:

1) How long to get this working? Estimate (like 30 mins or 2 hours) will do.

2) Is this 4.1.1 faster than the 4.0.3 currently running on my A510? If yes, try to quantify it.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] farris:
You have to install CWM and flash this rom. Both can be done in under half an hour, but it depens on your speed.. the process itself goes really fast.

I personally find this ROM a lot, lot faster than the standard 4.0.3. OVerall system responds quicker and the software keyboard works much better with this ROM. Definately worth trying, however, do notice that the microphone is not working yet.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] himmatsj:
Ok. But is this or CM10 by nothrills faster and better performance wise? Which is more stable and has less bugs?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] farris:
For me, this version is superior over the CM10 version. But that's just my device; my A510 has a lot of touch problems which other users don't have. And only in this version, everything works perfect, maybe because it's a official Acer A700 ROM.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] himmatsj:
Ok, so I guess performance wise they must be similar then? Btw I'll just try flashing this. :) Hope it works!

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Ok, started downloading the data files. Do the 3 .rar files need to be stitched together?

Also, is it better to perform a factory reset before I begin, or I may leave things as it is?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] farris:
If you download the 3 files into one directory, they will autmatically be mergerd.

Yes, wipe the /data and /cache, equal to factory reset.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] himmatsj:
WHat do you mean by one directory?

Also, is it necessary to install a CWM based recovery?

Lastly, to install CWM is it a must to download the Android SDK or can I skip this step if I have the correct USB drivers instlled on my computer already>?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] farris:
I meant that if the 3 rar-files are in the same directory, you don't have to merge them manually, but WinRAR will find the 2 other parts autmatically :)

Yes, to install CWM you have to push some files to the device and that can only be done with the program calles ADB. Just a couple of ADB files are enough, the whole SDK kit is not needed. I've put them in a .rar for you: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11020819/adb files.rar
