[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadive.ri:
Sorry ahead of time, I am a noob and have been searching the forum.

I installed the kindle fire utility 0.9.6 yesterday then installed Fire Fire FIRE and TWRP.

I backed up the stock rom and installed JB-aokp_otter_unofficial_Oct-17-12.zip and gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

Jelly Bean was working perfectly, and then goomanager automatically downloaded JB-aokp_otter_unofficial_Oct-22-12.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

I went through and flashed the new ROMs

I can't find a SOUND slider to adjust the volume anywhere. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Scott
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
AOKP doesn't have a volume slider that I know of. Use Button Savior or some comparable volume app. Volume in Notification app works well but it's not a slider.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadive.ri:
Thanks for the quick response. I just looked into this yesterday and I root the Kindle Fire. This ROM seems very stable and I've had no issues with it. A friend of mine just installed a different jelly bean ROM on the fire today and it has a volume slider. Do you know if this is the best 1 to install or is there a better jelly bean ROM for the fire?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlshady00:
Which Rom is best is based solely on personal preference and what you want to do with it or get out of it. I personally prefer jandycane as the dev is working to make a Rom designed to maximize the kindle's ability as a tablet rather than basing it on the phone style ui like so many others. But really just test out some different ones and see what you like and don't like.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
Totally new, here...Been working on doing this for an hour and just got it installed..Now I'm at the SuperSu step. How exactly do I install SuperSu from CWM?

Okay..Install the exact same way you install the other zip. :) This tablet wrecks my nerves, and I can't stand messing with it. I've heard so many horror stories of bricks and I saved for a long time to have enough cash to buy this thing.

Thanks for your work, I've finally got my JB rooted and can play with my emulators and screenshot tools again.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
OK..don't want to sound dumb here. My bootloader is already unlocked. What steps do I need to do to get rooted? I'm not sure so I figured it was better to ask then to guess and mess things up! Thanks to all of you that do these things for us....:)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
I'm sure it is a coincidence, but as soon as I finished, my external SD card became unreadable/unmountable. Trying it in my PC and it says it needs to be formatted. All my data was lost. (Well...Maybe...I'm trying some recovery stuff before I give up and reformat).
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
You can look in the install script, it never touches the external sd card.

I think a lot of these issues are still related to cwm, I'm looking at it a bit to see what's really happeneing.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] casper326:
After flash this KERNEL, MY A700 can't read a NTFS ext-sdcard..
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
I was able to recover all my files, but still had to reformat the card. Not too big of a deal.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Try the stock one. Source built may not have ntfs enabled.

Seems acer don't release the exact source they actually compile and release
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] casper326:
But... your kernel release the t3 cpu to 1.4Ghz

better then support NTFS.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Once I have moved house I will get everything setup properly and work more on the kernel
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] benjieb:
Hi,

this seem very attravtive, thanks for putting this together. I have a few questions for you. Bearing in mind that I start from a 100% stock JB A700:

- Will any of the install steps wipe data / settings on my system ?

- Will it prevent futur OTAs ?

- Is there there a way to go back to stock if we do this ?

thanks for your help!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
I think I can answer.

1. Shouldn't effect current install. It's a boot.img only and CWM if you don't have it.

2. Yes. Unlocked bootloaders and rooting will make future OTA's inoperable. You will get a message stating "unfortunately you can not receive OTA. Please contact Acer". or something like that.

3. There's always a way to go back to stock. Typically it involves installing a stock rom, which of course will clean all your user data and such.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Spot on,

Why go back to stock? Any ota ill be repacking so it can be flashed via cwm
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
Concerning bootloader and CWM

If my bootloader is already unlocked and I have a previous Recovery on the tablet, do I still need to install CWM BEFORE I boot to Recovery adn install the boot.zip file?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Depends on your version of the ""previous recovery"". Seems there are many in the past 3 months. Some of them. were "brick-makers".

Generally, you are safe to "install zip only".

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
Thanks to all who worked on this!

Thanks MD!- I had ot flash the boot.img via adb becasue the .zip format wouldn''t work. Basically, to play it safe, I installed CWM and then went from there and got rooted. Thanks to all of you dev kind of folks who worked on this for people like me who know just enough to be dangerous! :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] benjieb:
Thanks V & MD , i appreciate your skills + patient support!

I am desperate to root my A700, but wasn't keen on having to wipe data/apps + not being able to benefit from Acer's updates.

According to your posts, both are no real issue. So root here I come!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Well, you shouldn't need to do wipes and such for this process. In fact, I would use CWM just to install things just to play it safe.

In my opinion, the JB build runs good as it is, although you may want to delete a couple of pesky apps running in the background.

If you're really worried, you can try using adb to push SU and the superuser apk after you fastboot the insecure boot.img. ADB should be working with it now.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I have to agree, when I get time I'm going to build a cwm with all the wipe features removed :D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] benjieb:
Guys, this is getting quite technical. How do these useful advices relate to the steps by step initial post. Or in simple terms what are the steps starting from Stock JB and aiming at a safe route to... root :p

thx
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] benjieb:
Oh and by the way, which of the two kernel file should I flash ?

Patched stock or IconiaN ?

actually what is the difference between the two ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
If you have a DE, at least for me the case, then take the Stock, if you have the UK version, the Iconian.

Background are different builds.

The Iconian has increased, the RV10, the Stock, the RV09.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] benjieb:
uhhh it is getting trickier... the file to use would be dependent on the country.

Ok, I have a FR...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
No, the version. DE was only one example. So you should know what you have for a Rom on it.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Does not matter what version you use.

One is patched RV10 stock kernel.

Other is compiled from acer source code.

Only difference so far is compiled does not have HSF+ and apparently runs @ 1.4GHz.

I've not tested CPU speed.

For what it matters they are region free, stock RV09 & RV10 use exactly the same kernel.

Compiled from source has no region either.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] RudeBoy78:
Hi,

links are broken. Can someone host the files anywhere ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Fixed them.

Not sure what happened
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Recreated the root method

Now installs everything needed
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
Now I gotta update the How To. Much nicer to have it streamlined together with all you need. Now there's really no reason for anyone to not be rooted. As always, great job.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] chemcup:
the same here. Can’t format using the table or my handy even the computer could not format it using 3 different program (EASEUS Partition SDFormatter and Paragon) it was not possible to format the sd. The computer see it as 32 mb but can’t format ( I had 64 GB SanDisk)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Unrooting the tablet

I really like the new way!

I hope there's going to be a way just like this to unroot the tablet.

Wouldn't this do the trick?:

@echo off
cls
echo Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your Tablet
pause
cls
echo Rebooting to bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
echo Flashing original boot.img (using A700 JB Full ROM AV051_1.028.00_EMEA_DE RV09RC02)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
cls
echo Allow your tablet to reboot into android and
echo make sure USB debugging is still enabled
pause
cls
echo Unrooting...
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell rm /system/xbin/busybox
adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc/
cls
echo Removing busybox
adb shell rm /system/xbin/busybox
cls
echo Rebooting to bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
echo Flashing recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
cls
echo Done...
echo Your A700 will be fully unrooted after it has booted
pause

Using the boot.img and install-recovery.sh from A700 JB Full ROM AV051_1.028.00_EMEA_DE RV09RC02.zip.

Don't know where the recovery.img comes from.. ?

I don't know/think it removes busybox completely with this. Is /system/bin/ really using busybox?

!!!!!This is just a theory and should not be used for real. I don't have actual knowledge of the above code. !!!!!

!!!!I hope that someone with actual knowledge of the above code can confirm something like this working.!!!!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I was planning on doing something like that in the next day or two
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Maybe using the way MD described?:

But then instead of pulling it, flashing it.

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS of=/sdcard/recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
adb shell rm /sdcard/recovery.img
fastboot reboot

You're the best. Can't thank you enough!!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
The funny thing, is that we (vorbeth and I) both work together on things ;)

Sorta the way things should be done ;)

And yeah, he's pretty darn good......

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
That would not work for restoring.

Your backing up CWM and Then re-flashing it

fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img < will not work as the recovery is still on your device
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
That's so awesome.

Just thinking with ya, mate.

Okay, so that wouldn't work. I don't know else where the recovery.img comes from.

I thought about that, but that means that we do have to pull it first to flash it next.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
You asked, and it's now in the OP

EasyRoot 2.0 - Also removes root.

That does include the 600+ symlinks created by busybox :angel:

Also restores stock boot.img and recovery.img
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Wait, this installs the latest cwm? Is it also possible to install it without it?

Is it possible to lock the bootloader again (with the fastbook oem lock command) after removing root?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I'll make CWM an option.

As for locking the bootloader, no it is not possible. I've tried, keeps telling me the system.img is not valid.

Maybe if we could flash back the original ICS rom the device shipped with then we could, as I don't have a copy of that or can find one online I guess I'll never know
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] meier2009:
nice work, should work for all dummies if drivers are correct installed ;)

for 4.0.4 boot img, ill send you one, i think it was the one but not sure
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
It would need to be the full UK stock ICS rom, not just a boot.img
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Do you mean by the bold text that you're still working on it or that you already implemented it? (haven't really tried it out yet)

Have you been able to get your hands on the stock ICS ROM yet?

I can't really help you out there; only thing I downloaded from another site is SDs_Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC04_EMEA_CUS1.zip and that's all I can provide. Only it's CUS1 and not UK.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I've not done cwm as an option yet, only have one laptop here and my girlfriend uses it most of the time (its hers)

As for original ICS, I've not found one anywhere.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
No rush :D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Hmm. I found a post with a URL with a stock UK (GB) rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29405709&postcount=88

Can't download it, though. It's saying something in French :/

It's most porobably an ICS ROM, since JB wasn't out at the time posting :p

Maybe PM the user?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] kiteman44:
Files removed. Ask alx5962, he could upload again these files.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
At 37mb its not a full ROM, the one i woukd need would need to be over 200mb.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Do you actually need the GB ROM or can you also use another ROM?

I've got this (beta) ROM from here (1st link, ICS):

SDs_Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC04_EMEA_CUS1.zip (338mb)

Which ROM (number) would you actually need?

Maybe we can ask Acer for it (with the excuse of not being able to boot past the Acer logo).

Edit:

Seems like the link is broken, but if you need it, I'll be happy to provide.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
If you PM me a link, I can try
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
My connection sucks, so it'll take an hour or two but in the meantime maybe you can try the full ROM I found on Acer's American website:

http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A700&OS=a09&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6

(333.5 MB)

Oh, it's already uploaded elsewhere (Google :D):

http://vache-android.com/?m&dir=Tablets/A700

It's the one above the last one.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] donny02:
Yes, thank you Vorbeth, with this I made it. Call me a dummie ... ;)

One wish remains: I would like to mount a directory of my nas. Unfortunately the kernel does not have a cifs.ko module included. Is it possible to put one in this thread? Then i could try to get the app cifs-manager work.

Thanks,

donny

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
I know the boot.img is based on RV10RC01, but the latest is RV18RC01

Is there any difference in the kernel between RV10RC01 and RV18RC01 ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Oops I forgot to update to OP.

EasyRoot is now based on RV18RC01
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Like he says: What is the difference? And how to we apply the new kernel? Just re-root it?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] cuibapngo:
I tried to go back to work 3 times, but the result is the same.said root successful.including selecting the number 2 to do all over again the next time I do look closely and see the following message:

can not load root / boot.img

and then:

can not load root / recovery.img

I press continue and it indicates a successful root as shown. but there is not anything

what's wrong?:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

i have done.thanks.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
You may as well keep the kernel you have as there is no difference in them at all
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] steen-p:
I have tried the easyroot.bat and it says it i sucessfull, but in a flash before the screen (cmd prompt) changes i can some error messages.

I have tried the following more manual steps:

1. adb reboot bootloader - FINE - the A700 is in bootloade mode

2. fastboot oem unlock (use the volume to choose unlock) - NoGo - I see two icons (unlock and door) on the tablet, but no matter how fast i press the VOL keys, the messages is something like "Operation timed out or cancled by user". The screen is stuck but a normal reset brings it back.

USB Debuging is enabled.

Any suggestions?

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Practice Mate. The unlock process is sensitive.

Just move it to the unlocked door, and leave it be. Should unlock if I'm not mistaken. Might have to hit PWR also. Keep in mind, this is a "1 way ticket". You can't "re-lock" the bootloader unless you roll back and install a stock ICS rom.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xso0j1nx:
I just bought the galaxy note 2 from T-Mobile but I can't figure out how to get the multi window.

I found somewhere that I need to do a software upgrade, but it's telling me there are no upgrades available...

Anybody know how to get the multi window working ? I really wanted this feature and I'm so angry it's not working! :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05GT:
You probably have wait for the update like the international versions did. I remember there being a slide tab on the left that included the apps that could run in multi-screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SweetPAIN225:
Did you try pressing back for a couple of seconds?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
I have the Sprint version of the Note 2 and doing this does not open the multiview options. It looks to be disabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilcleo001:
firmware update?

I got the T-Mobile version yesterday. I've been trying the multi-view feature but it does not work. Snooped around the web and it looks like it needs a firmware update. Some said you can updated it thru samsung's Kies software. Tried it but it says my device is not support.

Anyone have any luck?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
You will have to wait for Samsung/T-Mobile to push an update. Won't be immediately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilcleo001:
Have they released a statement?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
No, I'm just going by what happened on the International version. I assume it is the same for us as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Yeah, currently there's no multiview. Hopefully, like the European version an update will come a week after the release, but who knows with these darned American carriers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xso0j1nx:
Yes it says the same thing on when I connect it via kies. It says im not able to update with Kies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mgioia2:
What I find goofy is that the popup player and popup browser will work, but you cant get the true multiwindow thing to happen with other programs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilcleo001:
Check out this response I got from Samsung this morning. It is baffling. A simple "USA version will get an OTA very soon" would have been fine. This response is just stupid being that they advertised the feature on their website, videos, etc.

"We are unable to speculate when/if this software upgrades revision might be available for Samsung Galaxy Note II due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.

I think that's better than them not even knowing the phone features. I was chatting with a rep for over an hour and I had to explain to him what multi window was and still did not understand. :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] VIIRU§:
Looks like Samsung is doing the same BS HTC dose. If the feature isn't released by nov 24 im gonna make a support petition and take Samsung to small claims court and get every penny I paid back. How can they market the phone with the ability then say they are unaware if the device will support it. My neighbor took att to small claims court and won. So I wont think twice to file one against samsung. Thats the feature that sold me to this phone. Well the lie that sold me to this phone. I simply wont stand for this sh1t I want wtf I paid for.
