I am using Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

I see from the TWRP page:

If you have taken the official Asus Jellybean OTA then be sure to install the '-JB' version of the recovery for your device - and only flash roms that are based on the Asus OTA.

Can I install CM10 or what ROMs does this limit me to installing?

Many thanks,

Graham.

I have ICS Unlocked bootloader V8 with root on my A500.

Build Number

Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1

Image version

Acer_AV041_A500_RV06RC01_WW_CUS1

Android version 4.0.3

kernel 2.6.39

I would like to install new CM10.1 JellyBean 4.2.1 or other.

Is it somewhere instruction how I can do it?

Where need to copy new image? Is it root directory? .Acer? or where?

Is it need copy zip file cm-10.1-20130105-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip? or just image file?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael, u should already have cwm it comes with the v8 bootloader...

What happens if u power your tab on with volume down button held in?
[Acer Iconia A500] ch_m:
Hi dibb_nz,

I see boot loader menu.

If I push cm-...-a500.zip file to external sdcard and go to Boot Recovery

It just reboot.

Thanks,

Michael
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
do you mean skrilax v8 Fastboot Menu??? This is accessed by holding volume UP and Power

IF and only IF, you have the fastboot menu you can choose to enter fastboot mode, and connect your tab to your pc

Download the recovery image at the bottom of this post and put it in the same folder with fastboot.exe/adb.exe:

Run the following commands

fastboot devices

it should return a ?

fastboot flash recovery recovery_CWM.img

should say Done

fastboot reboot

quickly hold in the volume down button while it reboots - if you time it right it should boot to cwm...otherwise just power it down then try again

Please note again this is only possible with the unlocked bootloader
[Acer Iconia A500] ch_m:
Yes. I did install Skrilax V8 unl bootloader with menu:

fastboot, boot Pr.., boot Sec... , Boot Recovery, Set... Wipe Cache

I use ADB from Android SDK platform-tools.

Never use fastboot.exe from it. I see it.

I will try.

Thanks,

Must I unlock bootloader to install CWM? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Yes to get cwm or any other custom recovery the bootloader has to be unlocked first.

You have the unlocked v8 bootloader but not a recovery i don't know why you don't have one?? I'm confused!!

To get cwm now you can reflash the v8/cwm package

Or use fastboot method...

Hope that explains things better!

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

What method/tool did u use to put the v8 on there in the first place?
[Acer Iconia A500] ch_m:
I used

V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm

and

APX_v0.4A-flashTool-500Manager1.0.2

I don't remember which one was finally.

Now I used fastboot flash recovery with your recovery_CWM.img.

Thanks it was work.

I did install

gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip and

cm-10.1-20130105-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip

It was success.

But I have CyanogenMod logo loop :(

I can't enter :(

What I did wrong?

Can I fix it?

Thanks,

[Acer Iconia A500] ch_m:

After factory reset and install it again.

It is working now.

I Really apreciate your help, maybe i didn't said that i've tried everything on those results previously and that they didn't worked for me, it causes BootLoop's, so you assumed that i didn't searched anything, may be i didn't melted my brain searching but i've searched alot, im a member since 2008 and this is my 1st thread started by me, so i didnt started the thread without having a little fight with search options.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oggew2:
Hello,

I just decided to start modding my phone and I found this rom which looks awesome: miuiaustralia.com (Sorry for no link but I can't post links yet -.-)

So I downloaded everything, got flashtool and stuff and followed the instructions.

First I installed an .ftf file and then I restarted my flashtool as it told me to in the instructions, unplugged it and put it in again but this time holding the search button to go into fastboot mode.

So when i opened my flashtool it said that my device was connected in flash mode but the light on my led was blue and not green as it's supposed to be, so I was wondering what's wrong, why can't I enter fastboot? I tried to put it in several more times with the search button and still no sucess.

Do I need an unlocked bootloader to enter fastboot? Cause when I try to unlock my bootloader in flashtool it first needs to be connected in flash mode, and then it needs to be reconnected in fastboot mode so I can't unlock the bootloader either! Please help me!

Also if it would make some difference I'm running flashtool on a mac if it makes any difference, flashtool itself works as I've managed to do .ftf changes before but I've never tried to change the boot.img

When I do the reboot thing I can only press the "Reboot into fastboot mode (via adb) and when I do this the same thing happens, it turns on the blue light but still flashtool says : INFO - Device connected in flash mode

Okay so I've attached some pics of how my flashtool looks, also I know there's an update but it's minor and I don't think it would matter, my update is 3 days old...

The pics are in the right order, there's no boot in fastboot :/

Also I'll check with the drivers, not so sure how to download them if I need as I'm on a mac.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Yep also you need to unlock your bootloader you can't flash a kernal on a locked bootloader! If you want to do that there are plenty of tutorials about for that.:)

Oh yeah I had an unlocked BL before but back then I was doing this on a windows pc but then I bricked my phone, restored it and decided not to mess with it more... Until now :3

But yeah the unlock BL feature in flashtool needs fastboot aswell and I can't find any guides on how to unlock the BL on a mac, but right now I'm seeing if it's the fastboot drivers I need
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oggew2:

I have read the post from sukhad where he used odin, that process helped me once when I soft-bricked my phone then after that I installed the JellyPlus custom rom from fahmi at first glance it was great (it was really great) but I cannot connect to any wi-fi area so I decided to switch back to stock rom and use the method from sukhad but odin don't detect my phone I don't know why.

I already used odin v1.84 and v1.87 both not detecting my phone. I'm thinking that my installed kernel had something to do with this problem because the recommended kernel in the website of fahmi was Cor Plenus and I used that too 2.0.0, 2.0.2 and 2.1.5 they're not working properly with my phone, it restarts, so I used the stock kernel from Fedy but still no wifi. Now I want to switch back to stock rom can anyone help me? I did not backup my stock rom. I DID NOT BACKUP ANYTHING

First of all u can use Odin newer version(4.42). R u sure uR in download mode?it should detect or phone

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] IorekByrnison:
if you dont have the phone please dont comment sir...

newer versions of odins are not compatible with s5570i.

Use samsung galaxy Y odin sir.

Install kies and update kies fully for drivers. If it's not detected still, change your usb port. Probably it's the usb port you're having problem.

If you installed heimdall, it changes drivers for one spesific usb port, in that case, if you have only one usb port, uninstall everything about samsung including heimdall, install kies, update kies and try odin again.

I use odin 1.84 and it works with cor plenus too.

Hi All,

Since this is my first post I am unable to ask this in the relevant thread so apologies. I was just wondering if the excellent rooting toolkit posted on the other thread is available with JB instead of ICS? I know there are guides to flashing xperia arc LT15i to JB but none I can find that don't require the bootloader unlocked..

Thanks for your support

B
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Why would you need it? There is no JB for our phones, so it is not needed. All custom ROMs are already rooted, so you don't need to do anything.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishbouncer:
Perhaps I misunderstand the process then, I understood that in order to upgrade phone I had to have bootloader unlocked OR phone rooted. I am basing this assumption on the information I found androidgadgematic.com/2012/09/root-sony-xperia-arc-lt15-arc-s-lt18-ics.html you mention that there is no JB for xperia but I have seen several vids on youtube that claim otherwise, but again I stand to be corrected.

In essence I have an xperia arc LT15i running GB that I cannot unlock the bootloader on and I am trying to find a way to upgrade it to JB. I have been searching here, youtube, xperia blog etc but cannot find a way to do this with bootloader locked. Then I came across the method linked earlier that seems to do the job for ICS but would like JB.

Hope my rambling makes sense...

thanks again for your time

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishbouncer:
with respect I have spent over 2 days searching this site for information, perhaps I mis-understood it or was looking at the wrong info but that does not change the fact that I have genuinely tried to find an answer myself prior to posting. I think this is borne out by both the xda link and the link to androidgadgematic. It is unfair of you to assume that I am misrepresenting myself.

I would much prefer to have found a solution myself as it is faster and avoids these situations :) I will have a look at the links you have indicated

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I assume it based on the fact that 9 out of 10 users who say they have searched actually haven't which 9 times out of 10 is usually proven by a Google search of the actual thread title they started theirs with, and if you have actually spent 2 days looking then I'm amazed you don't seem to have read any of the stickys or JB type ROM threads either which would have answered your query of having a locked boot loader.

Anyway, let us know how you get on.

So after a lot of reading tonight I think I see my issue, I checked se site and ICS is available for LT15i but clearly not released by my carrier (PC companion says I am up to date on (GB 3.0.1.A.0.145 sigh). I could install the stock rom if my phone was able to have bootloader unlocked (*#*#7378423#*#* bootloader not shown in configuration menu) and apparently there is no way to do this other than pay for it which sucks!

The only alternative is to install a custom ROM that works with a locked bootloader but I cannot figure out which ones will work for me so for now I think I just have to wait for my carrier or fork out €€€...
