[Acer Iconia A500] tyrahn:
I was trying to flash my A500 back to stock and something, somewhere, went horribly wrong.

I did everything I normally would: factory reset, wiped cash and dalvik, and then flashed the ICS stock zip. I rebooted the tablet and it said something about updating the bootloader and then went black. Now, the black screen is all I can get.

I've got good drivers on my Win8 computer, and the device is recognized in APX mode, but I haven't been able to do anything with it. I've tried messing around with A500Manager, AfterOTA, and the APX Flash Tool, but I do NOT know my CPUID - which makes everything quite difficult.

I looked through the thread about getting the CPUID from the tablet via USB while in APX mode, but I know nothing about coding or building drivers and the like, and it all went well over my head.

I don't normally ask for help like this, (as one could guess from my post count) as I very rarely find myself in a situation a good amount of reading won't get me out of. This one has me well and stuck though! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(For the record, I was on the unlocked V8 bootloader, Thor's CWM, and CM10 and tried flashing Acer_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1)

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Hi Clark, sorry to hear of yr troubles....there's a recent thread here that sort of describes your issue....I'll post a link in a tick

But what happens when u turn the tab off - make sure pwr led lite is off - and then power on again?

Can u charge yr tab - pwr led is orange?

Flashing stock - did u use an update.zip or EUU or flash via cwm - there's a great guide how to revert to stock the easy way by jdgM3NT4L u should look at.

You might try booting to fast boot pwr volume UP but it sounds like that may not be available as u said yr tab did say updating boot loader...

Once u have the v8 boot loader the ONLY way to revert to stock is a downgrade to HC

Try running the nvFlash manually see civatos boot loader guide, (this requires yr tab to be in apx mode first,) and run the bat file.

IF YR TAB DOES NOT ENTER BOOTLOADER/A500 APX MODE please disconnect everything and don't go any further - you'll end up in more strife!!!

I'm on my way to work so will post links when I get there....
[Acer Iconia A500] tyrahn:
Thanks for the response!

I flashed a .zip via CWM to attempt to revert to stock. I flashed an ICS stock ROM (Acer_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1), while on the V8 bootloader, might that have caused my problem?

Right now I can only get the tab to do two things: charge and boot into APX mode. No matter what else I do I just end up in a black-screen APX mode. Power+Vol does not do anything other than put me back in a black screen with power LED white state.

I haven't tried doing an nvFlash yet - can I do that without my CPUID?

Clark
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
most definitely....u must flash a stock update.zip....but an EUU is best

u cannot flash ANY ics rom like this UNLESS u have the unlocked bootloader first... and u must downgrade If wanting to revert to stock....

no u can't but if u did have the v8 u must have had yr cpuid....you'll need to find it, u cant do anything now till u get it,

just becoz i wish to spend some quality time here on xda....we are flat.out at work, lol....

u can try theauto flash tools.but. they

rely on the cpuid....there's a guide.in my sig but the.only option u have is eppeP.s method, check.out srbeens guide there..

gotta run, ill check back l8ŕ
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
If your tab has been connected to your pc, you can get the cpuid from your pc, without the tab connected. (using USBDeview)
[Acer Iconia A500] tyrahn:
Yah, I did have it at one point. I thought I'd saved it in a Google Doc, but I can't find it now ...

It was, but I formatted my system when I installed Windows 8 last month, so I rather doubt that trick will work :(

Clark
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
Well,there is still Linux. Not a Linux guy, but search the forums, you can find instructions for running some linux commands that will find your cpuid. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751978 is a good place to start.
[Acer Iconia A500] tyrahn:
Fantastic! I've got a laptop running Ubuntu and I'm pretty comfortable with being a script-monkey in terminal, I'll give it a whirl when I get the chance to spend some quality time with the tab.

Thanks for the link too, I had not found that one before. I had seen eppeP's guide and it made my head spin pretty quick, the srbeen one you linked to looks like someone with no dev experience like myself might be able to pull it off.

*fingers crossed*

Clark
[Acer Iconia A500] tyrahn:
HAAAA!!!! Success!

Well, I had some trouble with my linux laptop being 32-bit and spitting out the wrong UID, but got that sorted and snagged my UID and SBK.

Used blackthund3r's APX Flash Tool to get the V8 bootloader and Thor's CWM back, and then flashed rooted stock - all is good!

Not sure if I'll try getting back to full stock or not, still deciding if I want to sell the tab or give it away as a Christmas present.

Thanks so much for the help everyone!

Clark
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
that's gr8 m8.....u feel like writing up a bit of a 'how to' on wot u did, would come in mighty handy for others in the same boat?
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
Glad it worked out for you, that's what these forums are about, helping each other.
[Acer Iconia A500] tyrahn:
I could, but I'd be pretty much just replicating srbeen's thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751978

The only thing I could really note is that eppeP's code that's linked to in srbeen's OP will only work on a 64-bit install of Linux. If you're running a 32-bit system (like I was) you need to scroll a bit further down the 1st page and grab the proper code for a 32-bit script.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Nate_Potoski:
OK, so trying my very best to be a good noob, I spent the last two days scouring threads and posts to see if anyone had my problem before. No dice, so here I go. If I have this in the wrong section.... Shoot me. ;) just flashed to a new rom. ICS from team blackout. Love it a ton. Seriously had to tweak the processor a bit, but it runs smoothly now. The problem? The battery stats are insane no matter what I do. My extended life battery is toast, I accept that, so I switched back to the stock battery which is now lasting longer than the ext did. But here's the problem. Run phone down to any power level. 15% or 1% doesn't matter if you kill it. Plug it in to charge. Charge till it gets round about 34% and unplug. All of a sudden, I have anywhere from 80% to 99% battery life. But it runs through that in almost no time. Then it will get down to about 28% and spike to 43% without ever seeing a charger! What gives? I would like some dependable stats. Please, let me know what kind of info you might need to get me going. I'm running an HTC Inspire 4G with the latest release of team blackouts ics rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Is your recovery updated?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nate_Potoski:
Where would I look for that info? Are you talking about the clockwork recovery? I have whatever version is the latest for Advanced Ace Hack Kit.... which is currently on my Linux partition. I believe the last update for the root program was in November 2012. But at any rate, I'll take any pointers on looking for the info and updating it if necessary. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
First, give 4ext recovery a shot (at least, I've personally had issues with CWM recently). Get the free app from their website. If you like it buy the app from the Play Store. It will install the most up-to-date 4ext recovery.

Second, redownload the ROM (just to make sure the download is valid) and reflash it from the updated 4ext.

Third, sometimes batteries just get old; if the problem persists try buying a new one. They're not too expensive.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nate_Potoski:
Ok, I'll give this all a shot and get back to you. One question though: the rom is from Team Blackout's link, so when you say valid, what does that mean? And should I do a full wipe of my phone? Also, I seem to be getting a full day out of my stock battery suddenly. (Which wasn't happening with the stock rom) The only quirk is that jump in % when I unplug it before it charges. It discharged like a normal battery today, though. At any rate, I'll go get that stuff you mentioned.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
There's several ways you can make sure that the file didn't get corrupted during the download. Re downloading, md5, and opening the zip and seeing if there are folders. You could use any of those.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nate_Potoski:
Ah I see. Thanks for moving me where I need to be. As for the stats, had a very busy week and never has the chance to do any of the checks you recommend. But in the last couple days it's seems the problem fixed itself. Getting more life out of my battery and the stats don't Spike anymore if I have to unplug the phone before it's finished charging. So all in all I'm a happy camper again. Still need to buy a bigger battery to get some serious life, but I can make it with 12 hours. Good to know what steps to take if I run into any other problems, though. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You could buy the powerskin for the inspire. I think they are still blowing them out for $0.01.(yes one penny, not a typo) I use one and it is great. It's a case with a battery built in. The case battery has more juice than what can fit into phone so it lasts all day with heavy use no problem. You just push a button when your phone is almost dead and it charges it back to full with energy left over.

First of all I have to say thank you for the modded apps. But anyway I hope there will be one day a mod / hack that makes editing the apps unnecessary like on S3 and other devices. Multi-Window is such a nice function and it makes more sense than on any other device.

Thats no criticism just a wish by myself.

I have some question about that edited apps. Is the button to switch between full size and manual included or does it depend how the app is created?

If I install one of these apps, it won't apper in google play store at the installed apps section? Is there a trick how to get an information if there is a new version of that app?

The reason you get application not installed is there are still some files which have been left behind you need manually go into the systems folder try and find files with maps and delete them still not sure it will work. I had the same problem when I was installing Modern combat I did that and it installed fine
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pwatkins:
Thanks Samir. OK. Deleted GmsCore.apk from the system/apps folder. Then loaded Maps from the Play Store. It is now installed as a non-system app. Now run the new signed, Multi-Window version which asks if I want to overwrite - Yes - and I have a multi window in-car environment.

Will check out tomorrow if all the Navigation functions still work!

PS Would still prefer PowerAmp to the Standard Music Player.

PPS Just noticed that the Multi Window version of Google Maps is missing the Window Top Bar (Pin, Full Screen and Close Icons). So it works OK in Dual Screen but I can't resize or move the window in Cascade View.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Well I was playing around with configurations and "suddenly" the top windows bar appeared in Google Maps. Can't get it to go away now! Can resize and move windows OK.

------------ Ah! The window with the Top Bar is the Navigation sub-app. The main Google Maps Window is still "naked"!

Does anyone know why we cant get a mod like with galaxy note and s3 that just puts all our apps available in multi view
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pwatkins:
Well an interesting new observation.

I just downloaded Aquamail, a third party e-mail client app, from Google Play - finally got fed up with the bugs and limitations in the stock e-mail client.

With no modification the app installed itself directly on the Multi-Tasking bar. When I call it up it has the multiwindow top bar with the pin and size switching icons already there! It works fully as a multi-windowing app with NO MODIFICATION!

1. Maybe this means that some third party developers are installing multi-window tools in their apps. However no indication of this in the "What's New" for this app, either in the Play Store or on the developer's website.

2. I have today today updated my GN10.1 to the latest 4.1.2 firmware. As already reported this has a number of good new features which improve Multi-Windowing. Is this to do with that? I suspect that it is because, as I reported in this thread on 16th December, I had some problems with the MW version of Google Maps installed from this thread. The main Maps Window had no Header Bar and could not be resized, although it has been working fine for me in Dual View. So after updating to 4.1.2 I look at the Maps App and, surprise, it is fixed. The window has a header bar and can be fully resized! So it would seem that 4.1.2 is, on it's own, doing things for certain standard apps.

I have since downloaded a couple more apps to see if they would install as multi window but no luck.
