[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Shadow_Z:
I think I may have bricked my Acer A100... I rooted my device, flashed different roms to try over the past 6 months. But have eventually decided to try to revert back to stock. So I have done everything in the OP it said to do, and was looking good until the install of the stock ICS rom (update.zip). I have tried to install the stock ICS rom a few times, it installs the stock ICS rom fine, then reboots and just stays at the flashing Android loading screen every time. I am not sure if I messed something up or missed something along the process. If I hold the Volume & Power buttons then flip the lock switch a few times, I can get to the screen that says "Bootloader v0.03.13-ICS: Starting Fastboot USB download protocol". With that screen on the tablet, my PC lists the tablet as Fastboot in My Devices. But anything I try from the PC in a Command Prompt, it says its "scanning for device", and stays like that.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Did you do the hard reset after? Flipping the lock switch thing? I think its volume down + power then as it vibrates move the switch back and forth until it says something like clearing....its been a year since I did it lol sorry its so vague. There's a YouTube video.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Shadow_Z:
Everytime I try to do the hard reset, thats where I get the Fastboot USB screen.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Use the other volume button then.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Shadow_Z:
That was where I was getting tripped up at, using the wrong volume button. It's working as it should now, and back to stock.

Thank you very much!

Worked like a champ for me, all back to stock ROM/Recovery/Locked Bootloader, time to start over. ;)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Rookie407:
oops!

soo i messed up and flashed the stock kernel and rebooted and started to make a back up of my apps with Titanium... then i got to thinking... i forgot to factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik... now when i try to boot into recovery it gives me the dead android with red triangle... what can i do to fix this?

EDIT: just tryed the manual factory reset as stated in op and still didnt work. =( please help
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Replace the install-recovery file and it'll put the stock recovery back on.

Or if you're still unlocked you can install cwm or twrp again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Rookie407:
CWM is out for w/e reason it wont boot past the boot loader but thankyou for reminding me I have a copy of twrp.img on my desktop...somewhere... lol

This message was sent from the a satellite in the sky.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Rookie407:
ok so i thought i had this... i still cant get into anything, bootloader is still unlocked and i got stock recovery to come up but its got the dead android in the background and i can only see txt if i hit softkey "home" first. not only that but i can use the volume rockers to move up and down but hitting power does nothing and theres no way to select anything... pic posted!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
That pic shows an entirely different problem. That's emmc death.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Rookie407:
please tell me that doesnt mean im the proud owner of a $150 paper weight and that theres a way to fix this... =\
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You can have Acer repair it, maybe, or replace the motherboard yourself, otherwise yes, its pretty useless.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Rookie407:
well it was nice while it lasted... guess this just means its time to upgrade. =)

Hello guys. I need your feedback. I have a A100 that is rooted and is currently running carbon rom 4.2. I am going to be selling this in the next couple weeks because I just don't use it anymore now that I have a second pc.Do you think it would be more advantagious to sell this just the way it is (rooted and custom rom) or should I take it back to completely stock? Or if it is more advantagious to sell it with a custom rom, which rom would you guys suggest?? Thanks again for any and all suggestions.

Can anyone help me with this, I am stuck and don't know what to do??All I was trying to do is get back to stock ICS
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jreink01:
Ok, I redownloaded the stock ICS from here http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a. At the end of the download, a window popped up saying this may be a malicious file. (Idownloaded it on my pc). I remember it also said the same thing when I downloaded it the first time too. I turned off the tablet, took the sd card out, put in pc and transferred the file, pulled out from pc, inserted in tablet and turned it on, still same thing with android synbol and red triangle. I tried to do a factory reset by following the steps above. I got it to say erasing userdata, then this is what it says in red, unrecoverable bootloader (ox19000008) I have no idea what this means?? Can anyone help me out with getting this back to stock ICS and recovery?? What do I do next?? Thanks

Bricking

I did it once with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and I was close to bricking it.

What are the chances that my A100 will brick, and how to avoid it ?

You should leave it like it's now because it will have a better performance and it will save the trouble of another owner to try to root it and fail. P.S. You should also include the root files from your pc in case the owner will need them.:silly::laugh:

Is there any way you could reupload the Stock ICS file for A100? The link isn't working anymore. Also what is the file size of that file?

Thanks.

acer a100

Hi,

sorry, im new to this. i have some questions , not sure if you can help or not.

I encrypted my tablet, and after i ran some updates it was not working properly, so i factory reset it to original state, deactivated encryption and it was fine. then some time later my tab stopped working, so i did soft reset and hard reset and at first nothing would happen , and then the usual Android screen came up. then it asked me for Encryption password, which was weird, because i thought i got rid off it... so i entered my usual password, and it did not work... i thought i went crazy and tried all other passwords i ever used, and nothing worked... so i tried hard resetting million times and nothing happened. and i can't even contact Acer caz my tablet is way over year old now- they can't provide help after warranty is out (unless you pay big $$ and ship it back!! although its stupid caz i have box and receipt to prove i bought it) ;(

Now for some reason i can't even properly connect it to computer (Acer software does not want to install on my pc, win7 :( )

how can i bring my tablet back to normal? i really don't want to buy new one :( and i can't by pass stupid encryption screen, because none of my passwords work, and no one else except me has access to it!

i tried following your instructions, but i am having trouble understanding some lingo (i did say i was new to it ;) )

as i mentioned, I can't connect my tab to PC, for some reason, so all i have is my stupid tablet and micro SD, is there any way for me to load old version off the microSD??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingray209:
Good day,

I have an unlock Samsung galaxy s2 on Android 4.1.2,

It's originally from Rogers, but I've been using it with my Bell sim card for a few months.

This morning after a night charge, my phone wasn't able to read my bell sim card anymore...

I reboot a undred times (almost), Flash the ROM, did it again this time wiping all data on my phone, but nothing changed...

There is no APN option, when I go to Access point names, in mobile network settings, I tried a few times to enter the Bell APN setting, but each time I would press on save, it would not save, only disapear.

Finally I tried a Rogers sim card...and its finally working ( with a choice a 4 different APN).

So what do you think? could it be that my Bell sim card stop working during the night?

Or could it be that my phone isn't unlock anymore...

Thanks for your help!!!

[Asus Transformer TF700] DNO1978:
I'm checking out solutions for mobile battery packs that are compatible with the Tf700. I've just purchased a veho pebble 13,200mah battery (link below if it let's me)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0SZEM38A0PCXEMC434RR

While it didn't come with the right adaptor I figured I could work out the various connections. The problem is I've realised it's 16V whereas the original charger is 16v so the question is EVEN if I manage to figure out the connections, would using 16v potentially damage the tablet?

Thoughts appreciated :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
If it puts out true 16v then it could damage the Infinity. Measure the output voltage of the power pack with a multimeter.

The battery pack that I bought for the TF700 is the Anker Astro3 10000mAh. It has switchable output 5V / 9V / 12V. The TF700 will charge at 12v (car voltage). There was a brief discussion a couple of months ago about battery packs and what you will need:

[Asus Transformer TF700] lovekeiiy:
I went this route using these USB adapter. Works well. You can use the tablet and phone on it at the same time; I was using my cellphone as a hotspot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DNO1978:
Thanks for the replies, I had already seen that post but I was hoping to be able to answer the 16v question as I had read in other places that 15v should be okay with 16v. I was hoping to get confirmation either way from someone know knew lots about electronics and voltage.

The main reasons for this are 1) I already have the battery 2) it's a brand I know and trust 3) It has a bigger capacity. However I'm a bit reluctant to using my tablet as an experiment so it's looking increasingly likely I'll have to return the veho pebble and pick up the Anker one.

Out of interest how long does it take to charge the Anker? From what I understand the input is only 5v so I'm guessing it's a good 6-8 hours? Also how long does it take to care the tablet itself?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] lovekeiiy:
The first charge takes the longest, which is probably in that eight hour range. I haven't ran the Anker dead yet. I usually charge it back up after I used it, so it's fully changed whether dead or just a little. But it's a few hours.

The tablet takes about three hours or so from completely dead, assuming it's off. You can charge the tablet back up on the Anker.

I don't know about much on the electricity. I'm sure the tablet has a regulator of some sort, but couldn't say if 16v in would fit with in it or not.

There other larger battery packs like Anker. The problem is most don't have a way to put out the amps needed to register a charge for the tablet. Most just have USB ports, and limit the output to the normal .5mha that work with 90% or other usb devices.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doodads:
I can't say accurately because I had it pre-ordered and google didn't ship pre-orders on release day for some reason. But from the moment it shipped, it took as long as the shipping said. 2 days. So I didn't get it the day after it shipped but I got it the day after that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
I purchased the Nexus 7 from Google Play, it shipped from the US and was sent via UPS World Ease even though the only shipping option was two-day - $19.99. Long story short, pre-ordered on June 27, shipped from Louisville, Kentucky on July 19, arrived on July 30. Overall a crap experience, but Google did fully refund the shipping due to the delay.

After all that, I still look forward to handing my money to Google on November 13. :fingers-crossed:

Hello!

Well, now officially my D3 have one year since it becomes a expensive paperweight since was Subsidy locked by try to sim unlock with several codes from sellers when there no clear info about the lock that VRZ puts in D3... :(

Well, since so long time since I did my last attemps to unlock it (with kind help of a friend here...) I would like to ask if by today may be possible to flash some more recent hacked/leaked that may allow to unlock subsidy locked D3.

I have 2 codes that seems to be to Moto original form my IMEI and also the code to use in VRZ, BUT since I am not in VRZ network and with no practical way to get VRZ coverage, I wonder if by now may be some hope about thsi nasty issue (also wonder about other users that had also locked D3 and what happen in their cases)

By my side I remenber that I tried evrything about the time and the last resource that I take was try to flash the radio nad other parts of chinese rom in order to try to get an unlock mode without verizon network...

By now my D3 boot normal and I could use it in wifi and may install things and set up for ADB access too... is totally normal except that is subsidy locked son no recognize my carrier sim... with a turbo sim my D3 coul dial voice calls and works but is unstable so as soon I move from my neighborhood the signal is lost and I need to turn of D3 and turn on the sim card in other phone in order to get the sim again recognized by my carrier with turbosim in D3....

Thanks for kind attention and best regards!

I can get into APX mode and flashing the stock rom using many custom utilites always fails (Usually says something like command failure :go failure or could not load bootloader to device) I'm sure it's probably fixable, I just need someone to type it out for me (I'm pretty smart when it comes to Android but I'm honestly stumped right now) Or please redirect me to a post that could help, However I have read a lot of the posts about this and everyone is getting there's to work and I can't get mine.

I am sure there are a bunch of similar post, but I looked around and found a post on rooting and unlocking. The questions is

When I go to sync in the calendar app, it shows my google account, but clicking on that shows 'no calendars'. I don't know why it's not working as it syncs just fine to my phone, so I don't think it's a sharing or permission error.

Clarification request

Hi, I am not a super-user, but also not quite a noob. I've rooted devices and feel I'm relatively competent. I am only mentioning this to simply clarify who's asking, because I am not at all clear on these instructions.

I missed a doctor appointment because my phone (which had all my appointments) did not sync to my N7. Oddly, it did sync some (when, I don't know). I've tried everything I could think of. I've only had the N7 for about 2 weeks, and have found the menu options lacking.

To be clear, my phone has the data. The N7 does not. All boxes have been checked on both Google accts. And, as one does in a situation like this, I unchecked and rechecked them to no avail.

is that a cm10 problem or did i do sth wrong?
[HTC One S] Fredfly:
I'm pretty sure its because the ROM flashes a new radio. Specifically the 1.08ts which turns off the data when the screen is off. Its to help prevent people from tethering. There is an apk on the play store that you can use to prevent this, however I can't for the life of me think of the name or you can flash one of the zjps on the blackbean forum that let's you change radios.

Hey guys sorry I can't find the name. It was in one of these forums but as I'm sure you know searching them is easier said then done. Try the modified radio zips they are in the cm10 forum. Either in the general cm10 discussion or the development one. If you get really desperate just check the 'screen always on' box in setting under developer options.
