[Acer Iconia A500] Mizun0h:
I had trouble finding a guide on how to get JB working on my a501 so I'm xposting this to xda. The link to the superuserfix was dead, but my install worked without it. I take no credit for this. Written by "dime" over at Tegra Owners.

I wanted to write a consolidated tutorial for people on the latest/unrooted 3.2.1 OTA and how to flash it to rooted Jelly Bean ROM. If you follow step 1, it actually installs an old version of Touch Recovery for you, so you do not need to bother with Acer Recovery Installer. All links are derived from the FAQ stickied thread.

1. First you need to obtain root. Follow this guide to install a rooted 3.2.1 image.

All data will be lost. The 10 step guide is included as a PDF in the download:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307539

Confirm you have the Superuser app installed once completed.

2. Download the following 4 zip archives, put them on your A500 external SD card, and do not extract them.

Touch Recovery: MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED

Both latest JB ROM and GApps: MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED.

Superuser Fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?xyznxalycnw9znw

3. Reboot your A500, and hold VOL- button until you boot into recovery.

VOL- is closest to the power button, what some would consider to be VOL+ on a phone.

Once in recovery, use VOL+/- to navigate the menu and power button to select.

4. Now that you are in recovery:

Go into the Wipe menu, and do a Data Wipe.

Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install/upgrade to the latest version of Touch Recovery.

Reboot the A500, and once again go into Recovery (hold VOL-).

Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install the JB ROM.

Go into the Wipe menu, and do a Data Wipe. (yes a 2nd data wipe)

Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install GApps.

Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install Superuser Fix.

(skip Superuser Fix if there comes a time when superuser is working by default)

Reboot the device (Don't hold VOL- this time).

5. You should now be in rooted JB.

Backup your apps with Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root.

Hope this helps.

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Hi there....I'm just wondering how this works!!!!!

If I understand your guide correctly then,

U run timmydeans v4 rooted HC bootloader

check s/user

Flash 1.7.3 ics recovery, the ROM, gapps and s/user fix

Then enter recovery wipe/flash etc....

So, not only did u manage to flash a recovery, u r also running JB - all without the unlocked boot loader?????

I have to give this a go....if this really does work you have made my day, lol

EDIT: k I've just read 60 odd pages from the JB ROM thread - and answered my own question...seems this tegra-owners ROM runs with or without the patched boot loader....interesting!

EDIT: ok i tried this anyway even tho i was running the patched bootloader....may explain my issues!!

had troubles right from the get go - The tdv4 EUU wouldnt recognise my tab in apx mode, after mucking about I got the "Pass"

rebooted into cwm - nup - stock recovery??? weird....

found a boot.p file so renamed that and installed acer recover installer to flash cwm 1.7

from there flashed cwm 1.7.3 and the rest of the guide!!!!

could not install super user fix zip kept telling me there was an error and had aborted installation...s/user seems to be working ok

so after 7 hours I have thors JB with the 3,01 BL

perhaps it could be made clearer that this guide is for tabs runnin gingerbread or HC, altho it will work on the v8 BL the question would be why you would want to....however for those who havent updated its not as complicated as trying to get ones head around patched bootloaders, nvFlashing etc.

JUST A WARNING not all ICS/JB roms can be flashed like this MOST WILL REQUIRE the patched bootloader....

ALWAYS BACKUP and ALWAYS CHECK THE DEV's OP for whatever rom u intend to fllash, and if u dont understand something

please ask stating what rom/BL config you're on and what you're trying to flash to!!! Its alot easier than trying to talk/msg your way out of a brick:)
[Acer Iconia A500] lft4ded:
After the update did you have any issues with cellular data or is that still intact too?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] Mizun0h:
I dont use a sim card. but on my a501 it asked me to please insert sim during first boot and always has a signal bar in the bottom right the indicates no reception. So most likely yes. Hope that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Maanikko:
For me cellular data has worked flawlessly. It has been definitely the best rom for my a501!

Thread Closed

Thread is currently closed and links removed for the following reason;

Thor202ro rom kernel violates GPL. Otherwise know as not releasing kernel source. Most people here in the forums are well aware of the fact that non-GPL compliant kernels are not allowed to have links directly posted to them. This in the XDA rules.

The reason GPL is in place, is so that things like "carrier IQ' don't happen again. This is why kernel source should be open-source. Without it, the kernel could be transmitting personal data, and nobody would know it.

Additionally, the website in question, is a revenue generating website, and thus this also violates XDA rules by having links posted to revenue generating websites (ad-fly) to download Thors software. So this is a touchy spot.

Most people know where the site is anyhow.

And no, I am not going to re-hash the history.

Any issues regarding this, then please contact XDA Senior Moderators.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
gave a friend a 16gb SanDisk class2 MicroSD card, they put a bunch of stuff on it, used it for 2ish years. they kept it in a zip baggy for a few days while waiting for their new phone. they tried it on their new phone and it wouldn't show up, so I tried it on my sgs3 and nothing.. I plugged it into a USB adapter and my windows7 wouldn't read it either.. it doesn't even show up..

what could possibly cause this, and how do you fix it? 2years of memories on this thing.. what can be done?

''Thanks'' to ANY useful feedback
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Honestly, I have no idea what could do it. AFAIK, even placing near to strong magnetic field should not destroy it...

Whatever done it, try followto apply these tools.

Good luck!

P.S if it does not show in Win 7 at all, try:

Right click on My Computer, select Manage. On the following screen, click on Disk Management. You should now see the flash card drive on the right hand side of the screen, assign it a drive letter, and it should now show up in Windows Explorer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garethkungfu:
Is it being seen if you plug it into a PC with a adapter maybe and try opening disk management so you can format it?

Have you tried another card in the phone?

Also check the Gold contacts on the card are they damaged?

1) should i upgrade or should i install freshly

if im planning to install freshly do i loose data from other drivers excluding system driver(C) in my case..?

2) At present i have so much data on windows 7 like android drivers,other drivers,apps,softwares etc which are related to c drive..how to backup them..? and when i come back with windows 8 after installation i can restore the apps and others..?

3) should i install mother board drivers after installation...?

in windows i dint installed as i installed it on xp..

4) which is the best method of windows 8 installation..? i mean boot method or by clicking setup.exe...?

5) I heard we can also install windows8 with USB/PENDRIVE please tell me the procedure

i have downloaded the windows8 from torrentz so i dont have ISO image..how to generate..?

6) Any other suggestions or advices or cautions plz feel free to give..

THANX IN ADVANCE
[Windows 8 General] technogravy:
1. Fresh install, preferably dual boot Windows 7

2. Before installing Windows 8, create a new partition for data, and an extra partition for Windows 8, so you can dual boot and access data from both os.

3. You won't need mobo drivers, at least I didn't.

4. Boot method

5. Download the Windows 7 USB tool from the Microsoft site, use that to create a bootable USB.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enya123101:
Hi Guys!

I've just picked up a Nexus 7 32gb 3g and it's amazing to say the least. I can't believe for something just over £200 I have a full up to date android experience with premium hardware. Anyway what I was wondering was could I use this device to replace my recently broken Samsung Galaxy S1 (i9000). By which I mean make calls over 3g cellular. I want to pop in a contract sim and just use the minutes and texts of that and I was wondering whether it was possible?

I've done my research and apparently it's as simple as just copying over the default phone apk and it should work although I'm a bit skeptical as I've only seen one thread about. So what do I need to do to make cellular calls on the Nexus 7?

Regards,

Enya

P.S. I don't mind holding a 7" tablet to my face to make calls, I'd probably just use hands free anyway, and I don't mind rooting or flashing roms.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilegales:
sorry for the off topic

but where did you get your 32gb 3g from - as ive only seen pc world, currys etc selling the wifi only for 200 pound...

thanks

I am also looking for an answer to this question, i can't find any answers, would you be able to try the phone apk and report back. I am not sure if you need rot access to do that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Also interested, if only because the carrier that my SIM comes from occasionally requires me to make a call to their automated attendant when their online management tool isn't working.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enya123101:
Metaphorically speaking, :) Oh and yeah I'm probably going to try the phone.apk although I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or anything? :)

Oh and to put the phone.apk app back on I think you'll either need root access or ABD, but don't take my word for it, I'm no expert lol,
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Uh-oh, just read that the N7 3G support won't be in AOSP for now because they weren't able to licence the GSM stack for AOSP :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enya123101:
Wait, so you can't just push it into a system app i=in adb by extracting it from another phone that's running AOSP?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
No idea. As of yet the only AOSP phone with 4.2 is the GNex (Nexus 4 is not in AOSP yet either due to the same licensing issue).

And unless devs find a clever workaround, N73G isn't going to get the same scope of ROMs as the wi-fi version until they sort out the licensing.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christopheraj1:
Any results yet?

enya123101, did you try the phone.apk ? I'm really eager to find out if the NExus 7 can make phone calls and I can't find answers anywhere
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bag0rice:
please let us know

Please don't keep us in suspense. This data is what I need to determine between the Nexus 7 or the 10. I find it odd that this question is not being ask more on the net. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1958686 is the only other thread really that's asking this question and not just some random mentioning of it in a sea of Nexus 7 threads out there.

Thanks again for being the guinea pig.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
you can not just push phone.apk in fact your device ALREADY has phone.APK and if you try to push it then you will receive the message "you are replacing a system app.

the reason you cant USE or SEE it is because of the way our framework.res is compiled and it is not set as a phone device it is set as tablet among other settings that are different as well.

its not that easy but hopefully once its out in full force then developers will figure out a way perhaps with custom roms that allow it.

I don't think it makes much sense for them outside of using their own AdWords reach to do it.

It mostly featured the N7 but also had brief bits of the other two, and ended with a shot of the N4 on top of the N7 on top of the N10, and a quote which I can't remember about there being a size for everyone, and then "The Playground is Open."

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashen Victor:
I was actually having this same conversation with a friend of mine a few days back. Google makes some great commercials but they seemingly only do actual televised spots for them during the Super Bowl. And even at that it's basically for Chrome or Google+. You look at all their commercials online and they're so fricking awesome. With Google having so much money, you'd think they'd throw some out there to advertise their products like the Nexus devices. Samsung does it, and they're currently doing with for the GS3, and Apple is always pushing out tv spots for their brand and products. Google needs to get on the ball. Not to say that catering to the masses is what they're aiming for, because the Nexus line has never really been known to be a mass consumer product, but it'd be good for their own cause to spread the word. They've got the ads, just start pushing them off YouTube and into the homes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyroshane:
I live in Fargo, ND, so not exactly a major market, and I have seen two different Nexus 7 commercials (the one with the boy camping and the one where the girl wanted to be an astronaut), probably a half dozen different Google+ commercials, a Chromebook commercial, at least one Chrome commercial (the one with the girl and her dad), and now the new Nexus family commercial I linked above. I have seen them all quite frequently on our local channels, and on ESPN, AMC, Discovery, and History. The new Nexus one is actually about as common as the new Surface commercial here.

I received a "N7100" today, which should have been the LTE version aka "N7105". I'm considering keeping it though...

What are the DISADVANTAGES of the N7105 over the N7100? I'm guessing:

- reduced battery life, but how bad is it really?

- higher price tag: I read on some UK forums a GBP 50 price difference on a branded device; anyone has a idea of the difference for an unlocked version?

- availability? I can't find an unlocked N7105 in stock anywhere here in Northern Europe, not even pre-order.

- fewer custom ROMs?

- no root (yet)?

- other considerations?
