[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeskool:
do you have a link where the 4.2 camera zip is? I've been looking for days to find a way to get the camera working on this dinc running tinys cm10. if there is another thread with a detailed walkthrough or if you could maybe post one to help those like me looking for this camera fix it would be much appreciated. desperately need to get this monkey off my back so I can pass this phone on. thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musical_chairs:
The 4.2 camera being discussed in this thread had been ripped from the Nexus 4 and patched by Android Police (I believe) to work on other phones. I don't have the link handy, but I'm not sure it would do you any good anyway. What are you trying to fix? The camera (except for video recording) works on tiny's CM10, works better than the 4.2 camera actually because the camera preview goes nuts sometimes on the 4.2 camera, and tiny's CM10 uses the legacy (ICS) camera which does not have the preview issues. If you really want the 4.2 camera, an easier way to get it is to flash tiny's CM10.1, but like I said, this will have the preview issues. The only difference between the default CM10.1 camera and the patched 4.2 camera is Photosphere, which does not work on our phones anyway.

If you're looking for a camera 'fix' for CM10, the only thing that needs fixing is the camcorder, and for that you have two options:

1. Low-quality video recording with VideoCam Illusions, free on the Play Store

2. Use a Gingerbread (or older) ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeskool:
sorry for misunderstanding, I've been looking everywhere to figure out the issues I'm having with this dinc. I can't get the camera working or Netflix running tinys cm10. I don't think it's the Rom but I can't figure out where I've gone wrong. I've been lurking these forums for a while and have been able to troubleshoot the three other devices pretty good with the amazing info on here, but this one is getting the best of me at the moment. bought this dinc reconditioned, it was running 2.3.4 and I followed a tutorial to downgrade to 2.2 and root and get s-off with cwm. I upgraded to the latest cwm recovery and have flashed this rom 3 times trying to make sure it was clean. just keep getting a black screen when I try any camera app until it force closes. when I play a movie on Netflix everything works but the video is a black screen, even the sound plays. I realize this is in the wrong place but I can't post in dev yet, maybe I should start a new thread?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Netflix is broken on this device past gingerbread. I've yet to hear a single user report video on Netflix as working.

Do you remember having a working camera when you first started using it? It could be hardware failure for the camera. Also which gapps file did you flash? If you flashed the wrong one it could cause funkiness. If you didn't flash any, the camera should be working. I know that doesn't make sense but try to answer these questions as best as you can.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeskool:
I followed the link to the gapps from tinys cm10 thread and downloaded jb 20121011 signed. I'll try without gapps tomorrow to see what that does. I hadn't begun to look into the Netflix issue yet so thank you for saving me the time on that. if that's not the right gapps then I'll try another, I appreciate the help, thank you. thanks for an awesome Rom btw, I have yet to find one this nice for any other device I'm using. Happy New year!

I'm going to start a new thread since I need help figuring this camera problem out and I've already derailed this thread enough. any mods feel free to delete my posts in here if you see fit. thanks!

Anyone know if it is possible to go back to stock without the power button?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gunz.jones:
Explain. Without the working hardware key?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infazzdar:
As long as the device will power into a state where you can use ADB, you can always use "adb reboot bootloader" and use fastboot commands to return to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
How does a phone have no power button?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gunz.jones:
Over use or just plain broken. Not the first phone with that problem. Why I have pgm. My D2 had a crap power button
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Because Samsung phones sometimes modify themselves with the power button delete :highfive:

I'm sure it's the same for many phones, but I know many people who have worn out the power button on Samsungs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the5:
It just stopped working today, I think Ill just throw it at a wall and see what happens at Best Buy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gunz.jones:
Hardware failure is a good trade in reason. Unless they say otherwise. Not ROM related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
try to boot into fastboot mode use the toolkit to go back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al_madd:
I think it is very easy..

Use app to reboot to recovery..nowdays CWM have touch version..you just flash stock rom..but for locking back boatloader I have no idea..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:

He'd have to use ODIN to flash in that case.

Adb reboot recovery or bootloader

Can use a toolkit if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
Is it "stuck" being pressed in? Happened to my nexus s and the phone was fine once on (would boot up auto when battery pulled) and no adb would work due to it thinking power was being held down.

The thing is 'adb reboot bootloader', 'chmod +x flash-all.sh', './flash-all.sh' and 'fastboot oem lock' is way easier than all that. And supported too.

The simple method to revert back to stock ICS from a custom ROM on an A100.

+++Locked bootloader, no custom recovery, no root. Full stock .014 rom. It will recieve OTA updates to latest Acer version.+++

Get Ready

1) Download this flashable Stock recovery zip, and place in your normal flashing location, - Thx 4 help pio

http://db.tt/VLmnMCzq

Also uploaded below​

2) Download the Official .014 Stock ICS rom

The stock ICS zip from zeronull. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1611696

Here is a second link to it. http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a - thx zleto​

3) Rename the Stock ICS rom to "update.zip", no quotes (make sure you have "hide known file extensions" UNCHECKED, in the folder options). And place it on the root of your microSD card. This will allow you to see the file extension to verify that it is named properly.

Get it Done

1) Flash the Stock recovery zip with your custom recovery. Then wipe cache, davlik cache, and wipe data/factory reset.

2) Reboot to system.

3) Allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so.

4) Then Power off.

5) Update from the microSD card by holding down the power and volume rocker closest to the corner at the same time, until you see "erasing cache .".. ect, ect. The stock rom install should start by itself, dont touch anything, wait for it to reboot.

****** If it won't boot do a factory reset (with the hardware buttons, see below) and/or try to reflash the ics rom one more time. ******

If you want you can go to settings > about tab and check for updates, it should update at least one time. At the moment I believe the latest build # is .037. It may take a few days for it to find the update/s.

Enjoy. :D​

Do you loose root by flashing this?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
Yes, you will lose root when you flash the stock ROM. Gaining root again is as simple as re-running zeronulls root tool.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Kalmarin:
Will this lock the bootloader or will it remain unlocked?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
Locked bootloader, no custom recovery, no root. Full Stock.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] SPIK3:
I tried the guide here to return to stock but the update will not install, I was able to install the recovery but every time I try to install the update.zip it hangs in the screen with the android and has a red triangle inside of it. It stays on that screen for about 2 minutes and then reboots to my current rom
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
Check to make sure you have 'hide known file extensions' unchecked in the folder options. And verify the stock ICS file is named update.zip, and not update.zip.zip.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] SPIK3:
I checked and it is named just update.zip, I also tried re formatting the sd card and re downloaded the update but still no luck.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Bad download and/or transfer to the SD card, its extremely picky about it.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] SPIK3:
I keep trying, thanks.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
Updated OP to include a reboot to system after installing the stock recovery, let it sit for a few minutes. Then power off. Reboot to recovery by pressing power and volume rocker closest to the corner at the same time, release after it starts reporting Erasing cache... ect, ect... The update should begin. Give it 5-10 minutes, it should reboot.

I just did this procedure on my tab, running TWRP 2.2.2.1, gmv2.0 kernel and CM10. Now I have to unlock again, and restore, lol.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ponjanek:
I tried this stock restore out of necessity. I tried a downgrade to HC. seems like the update took successfully. It self rebooted but wouldn't get past the bootloader screen. It said "bootloader (some version) unlocked ICS" with white ACER logo clean in the middle.

I tried zn's stock ics restore and worked like a charm. (saved my butt is what it did)

Now that I'm back to stock 4.0, how can I downgrade to 3.2 from here? There are some good things in 3.2 like acersync and other.

I'd like to be able to switch between versions when I need to.

I have no problem upgrading to some custom version, if needed first.

Thanks for any help.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
You can downgrade from stock ICS to stock HC. But make sure your ICS is completely stock. You need to factory reset after flashing the HC update. I made a post about it as while back, with a hc ROM link.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ponjanek:
Thanks much for the link. it good to start from a know source. I have several copies I've collected over time. Kind of lost track of what was what..

Reading through the threads of this forum I've heard evil references to the Locked Bootloader. when I tried downgrading, I started with a rooted, unlocked via zn's procedures. I did the volume-power-lock procedure to reset. It said it was erasing, but never got much further than what I mentioned above.

I used the procedure here to get back to stock and from what I'm understanding from you this is where I need to be to downgrade. I'll give it a try in a day or so just in case there is more feedback on this.

Either way i've got zn's restock to cover my back.

if all goes well, there will be 2 stock versions available for the same purpose..

thanks much for your help and feedback.

Bricked Acer A100 ICS

I have bricked my acer a100 or so I think I have. I rooted my device,installed the recover A100 ICS TWRP and proceeded to installed the CyanogenMod 10 Preview. I kept it for a few days but didn't really like it because it kept crashing some apps that I used regularly so I'd try to revert back to stock. I did everything it told me to do but when I just left the tablet alone it just stays at the android screen it looks like it looping you'll see it a while and it'll flash and do it again. Note: Its can be recognized by the computer in ADB and MTP mode but I can't see in under the My Devices screen. I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance for the help!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Do a hard reset or try downloading and flashing the update.zip again, it could be a bad download or flash.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
First just try to reboot by holding down the power button,then power it back up. If nothing, like pio said, redownload the update.zip and try it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] luis.sandoval:
Okay will try thanks!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] marcusjbid:
Sorry in advance for all the questions

Q. Where is the normal flashing location on cwm 5?

Q. Is this replacing the custom recovery with the stock? Do you flash it from cwm 5?

Q. What system?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
1-You can pick the file in the recovery. Just make sure you know where it is. Most of us have a ROM or tools folder that is our location for our goodies.

2- Yes, this zip is flashed in the custom recovery. It puts the stock recovery back on the tablet so it will accept the stock ROM update.zip.

3- Once the stock recovery zip is flashed, you need to reboot the tablet. By system I mean to the OS. Then you can power the tablet off, and start the stock update.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] marcusjbid:
Thanks for the answers!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] IRIE4IPIER:
I get a dead Android and I have downloaded three times to insure it isn't a bad download.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
Double check that it doesn't have a double .zip on it when renamed, and it is on the root of the microSD. A fresh format of the card might help. This recovery will accept the update.zip.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] IRIE4IPIER:
I had the update on the internal memory, moved it to sdcard and it flashed the update, but I get boot loops, this ain't my tablet so I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I have been rooting and flashing since the G1. I had another device that would do the same thing when restoring, but then I would be able to access the stock recovery setting to wipe user data, and the device would boot, how do I access these options on this device?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
Our stock recovery doesn't do anything besides updates from SD. To factory reset you need to press and hold the power and volume rocker furthest from the corner at the same time until it vibrates, after it vibrates release the power and flip the rotation loch switch until you see "erasing user data".

I would try flashing the update zip one more time, and if that doesn't work try the factory reset.

Let me know how it turns out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] IRIE4IPIER:
Just as I said, once I figure out how to wipe data with the stock recovery, all would be well, thank you man, I love xda, been here since the tmobile mda. Now I can ship this to Acer so they can fix the charging port, my son is on a serious withdrawal from his tablet. Again, thank you for your help.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Jacobxtyler:
is there anyway to do the update without an sd card? i dont have one and im trying to revert to stock :/
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Simply put, no. Need an external SD card. 1 GB or larger would be best though a 512mb may work in a pinch.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Jacobxtyler:
darn. is there any other way to revert back to stock without one? im just wondering because i dont know if i can get my hands one any time soon.

Thanks for the quick response too btw :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] justjackyl:
The only thing I could even think of is changing the mount points to force the internal, but I think it wouldn't work anyways as the internal partition is rewritten along with all the other partitions, and populated with data from the update. Zip. Maybe you could edit the install to not format a specific partition and put the update there? Prob none of this is possible.

well that all sounds too confusing for me to get into right now anyway lol.

and i agree that stock is pretty lame, but im selling it on ebay and i just figured it would be better to revert it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] justjackyl:
**** (edit: heck dude)

id think it would be worth more to flash a cm10 build on it and sell it advertised as special modded JellyBean 4.1.2 OS, and than go on to describe benefits of it being rooted and updated and acer doesn't offer the newer OS(s). also toss out xda link and say they can customize it anyway they want or even return it to acer stock ;) with step by step guides on xda.

there will be some guy who will think that is the **** (edit: da bomb') but is afraid or doesn't have the skill to do it themselves. will sell, and will sell for more than a stock A100, I'd almost guarantee it!

I'd suggest cm10 b1 then, GPS works.

Side note, while its easy enough to mod the update.zip script to not nuke SD card, two things.

1 stock recovery wont check on internal SD, only external.

2 stock recovery will fail signature check if edited to not destroy internal, wont flash on stock recovery.

Yeah i would agree, but the woman contacting me right now about buying it flat out said she doesnt know what shes doing lol. so if anything goes wrong or they cant fix something i wouldnt want them to try and blame me lol

Hello! i have a rooted acer a100 that was running josei rom. i have a problem when trying to go back to stock and was wondering if you can help me. i flashed the stock recovery and downloaded the stock ics and entered recovery. i see the green android with the progress bar and it was completed and everything, i dont know what i did wrong and now i cant do anything with that tablet. it will boot to the boot screen and gets stuck there. i thought maybe it was the update file that i download but i tried others and it is still stuck at boot animation screen. any suggestions? thanks in advance!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
As long as it's a proper acer zip either method works with stock recovery, it won't work for anything custom at all, even just rezipped. The multi zip method should work if that's what's needed to do what you want.

Succeded

The process of going back to stock finished successfully. I was stuck at the looping acer logo; tried re-flashing the stock rom many times but nothing changed. So I tried to factory reset with the button combination mentioned by Romman0 (quote above). Only that there is something wrong with that button combination. it states that after it vibrates you have to release the power button and flip the lock switch; however, after it vibrates you have to keep holding the power button and the volume rocker(furthest from the corner) and at the same time flip the lock switch. Factory reset will start and you can try rebooting to see if it works. :D
