I installed the liquid smooth rom on my Skyrocket and it bricked it. I downloaded the rom from here on XDA. So I found a company that does Jtag repair. MobileTechVideos.com these guys know there stuff. It was a fast turn around to get my phone up and going again. I would highly recommend MobileTechVideos.com for all bricked phones...Give them a try and you will be very happy you did.

I was using my transformer for about 6 months and decided to take it to the next level and root it. so all went well and i got it rooted and then decided to add a custom rom. Now keep in mind I am a major NOOB. So i install rom manager from the play store and follow a video guide to put a jellybean rom on it. So i follow it and i crewed up somewhere. but now it just gets stuck at the boot logo. when i try to go into clockword mod recovery it works but fails to mount anything. When i try to wipe it just gets stuck and stays that way intil its have to force it to power off (trust me it not gonna do anything at the wipe screen i left it trying for an hour and nothing happened). So now im stuck with this broken transformer thats not able to do anything

From Reflashing by above post able to boot device but could not detect sim card.

I tried all possible way i.e. remove battery & sim card as well as SDRAM for 10 mins. etc.

[Acer Iconia A500] Mafvtapatio:
Hello everyone.

I hope you can help me.

I had an A500 bricked spontaneously (I was checking Twitter, the screen frozen, I turned off the tablet and when I turned it on again, it stucked on Acer logo) so I used the guide to recover recovery (this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751978, because I rooted my tablet but I didn't install recovery).

Everything was ok, I flashed the V7-Thor v1.7.3 but when I tried to install stock ROM of ICS (wipe data and cache), the tablet got "re-bricked" and only enter in APX mode.

Then I reflashed and installed V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery and I tried to install Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT through update.zip (turned on the tablet in recovery --> Install from zip file --> Install zip file from SD card --> update.zip, then it said "Installed" and I rebooted the tablet, but it stuck on "Booting primary kernel image"...

What I'm missing or doing wrong? :/

What should I do to run ICS in my tablet again?

I'm not familiarized with the ROMs, Recoverys or flash... sorry if my question is stupid or something, but before this I never moved anything to my tablet (except for root it).

And sorry too for my bad English.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
I think where you went wrong was choosing "install zip file from sdcard >update.zip"

Go back into recovery again > install from zip file > Choose zip from SD card (

if the file is on your micro sd card)

You should see a list of all your files and choose your rom file:

Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT.zip

Once its done, Stay in recovery and go to: Wipe Menu and do all the wipes there

Data -cache and dalvi-cache then reboot

Once you're all set up and before you reboot again, make sure there is not an "update.zip" on your sdcard - if you boot to recovery it may flash automatically and you will end up "stuck" again:)

good luck

dibb
[Acer Iconia A500] Mafvtapatio:
Thanks! I did it and it worked, but after the reboot the tablet only shows the animated android logo... what's the problem? The ROM?

When I did the "Wipe data" it said "Formatting data" and after "Skipping erase of /data/media". I checked with the "Mount and Storage" menu in recovery and seems like my data before the brick's still in the internal storage of the tablet... is that normal?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
EDIT: what version of cwm to have now? If its not 1.7.3 then go ahead and reflash the v8

Yes it is - keeps your data intact but 'resets' the rom to like it is when you first flash, there is an option to wipe data/media if you wish to - theres a toggle to enable it but on every boot to recovery it will be disabled again...

You can try another flash of the rom itself otherwise reflash the v8 bootloader.

Do you have access to "fastboot mode" power vol down - just wondering:)

dibb
[Acer Iconia A500] Mafvtapatio:
I tried to reflash the same ROM, but this time nothing happened, again only says "Booting primary kernel image"... a question, if I try to flash a stock ROM (like Acer_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1.zip from the post of stock roms)... it will let my tablet again only in APX mode when I turn on it, right?

And I see the option "Fastboot mode" when I turn on the tablet holding Vol +.

About your question I don't know how to answer, I flashed V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery... is that a CWM?

In the top it says CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digetx rev 1.7.3) Iconia A50x...
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
sorry, not sure I understand your question...are you saying you're now stuck in apx mode - black screen power light on?

There are 2 types of stock rom on here....

1) Official Acer EUU or OTA roms

2) Official Stock roms which are Custom - pre-rooted and able to flash CWM etc -

If you flash one of the Acer EUU or OTA roms you will lose CWM and Root

To be honest - with your tab "spontaneously" booting and being stuck on the acer logo and the issues that have followed - its sounding more and more like a faulty chip - this is something that only acer can fix...I could be wrong about this and I hope I am...but something is just not feeling right...

- you still have cwm and access to fastboot - thats a bonus - maybe do a complete format thru CWM of data/media, system (and flexrom if its there) then try to flash a rom again - if it still won't flash AND if you're not stuck in apx mode then I think you'd be best to download an official update.zip - from Blackthund3rs thread here this one -

Acer_AV041_1.054.00_WW_GEN1:

Once you've d/l'ed it...try opening it if you can't then it will need decrypting the instructions for this are in the OP..

Once you have extracted the "update.zip" and have it on your sdcard - flash via CWM

good luck

A500 V8 booting primary kernel image

Hello everyone!

I have a similar issue whith my a500. but i can restore the backup i did of my honeycomb sistem in cwm (i have acess)

aftter making the backup i have flashed V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx in apxflashtool in order to get ics boot loader and install ICS roms.

so far so good after the flash i had already a ICS rom in my sd card redy to flash so imediatly after V8 flash entered cwm and did clean format and wipe all. Next installed the rom (aroma instalation) no problems what so ever. After instalation is finished reboted and now im stuck on skilax v8 bootloader boting primary kernel image

i tried the folowing

- chage kernel multiboot fix partitions redo clean format etc etc etc (ALL THE STEPS)

-many other ics jellybean rooms (all of the install but dont boot)

- honey comb rooms install and BOOT normaly.

at this point thought maybe it was a bad V8 flash and decided to reflash the V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx

Now the flash tool can get pass uploading image phase.

i have correct sbk and cpuuid since i had to recover last week from boot verified failed error and use the flash tool whith correct sbk to recover the tablet with sucess.

So basicly im stuck wit

h my honeycomb rom backup or other HC roms

any news on this subject?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Yes just one question what is - " chage kernel multiboot "???? Sounds dodgy:)

You can boot to fastboot mode then do an erase of data and cache, see if that helps for a start....

Do you stil have recovery and can you still restore your HC backup?

I have seen a post or two where tabs can only boot HC Roms and no ICS

It "maybe" the dreaded hardware fault - you might be best to d/l the babsector.rar and run that - it will give you a proper error if theres something wrong - can get it from the root guide in my sig. Give me a minute or two and I'll post some steps in using it

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

How to use babsector.rar

Download and extract the babsector.rar to a folder on your PC

Turn your tab off and put it in apx mode manually. Press and hold reset button, hold power for 3 secs after the light comes on and release it, after another second release the reset button. Your screen is black and the power light is on.

Connect your tab to your PC

Navigate to the babsector folder and click on 501 A.bat, when its done

Reboot into recovery

Go to Mounts and Storage and Format System twice and Power Off

Go back into apx mode and run 501 B.bat

Reboot into recovery and do the wipes and flash your rom

Reboot

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePoncho86:
Do you have a galaxy nexus, or an ns4g, cause they're different phones. Is your problem happening after you wiped AND installed a new rom? If so, it's because you have to install the gapps for your rom aswell as the rom itself

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
There are a few of them floating around the dev forum that don't ask you to set up at first boot. Maybe you have one of these. I actually have a vanilla aosp 421 rom on my usb partition just in case I need a rom to flash temporarily for any reason, simply because it doesn't ask me to set it up when I boot the first time. I've had several occasions where I forgot to do something prior to flashing the rom I want to use and I have already doen a full wipe.....this way it saves me a few minutes of having to deal with the setup if I'm just going to wipe/flash over it immediately.

download another rom and see if it asks you to set everything up....or just wipe the system partition and reflash the one you're using. I'll bet it's not the recovery menu's fault ;)

[Windows Phone 8 General] sinister1:
I might be going out on a limb here be even asking this but is it possible to hack Zune music files or even picture files to sync with WP8 devices:confused:
[Windows Phone 8 General] DavidinCT:
I'll admit I would like this too. It is a lot better than the "WIndows Phone App" for Windows 7". Dont get me wrong, if you have Windows 8, the app looks nice but, for Windows 7, would love to get this back so I can sync like I could with my 7.5 device.
[Windows Phone 8 General] sinister1:
I agree with you DavidinCT. I don't think Microsoft quite go the message when we asked them that we didn't need Zune for everything. Although I like the fact that they made the store separate; they still should have left Zune as a music player or at least given us a Xbox music app.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DavidinCT:
If you plug in your WP8 device to a computer, it will show as a drive and on the drive, it has a Music folder. There must be a way for Zune to sync with it as it would be almost just like syncing with a USB drive or a flash card.

What else will zune sync with besides Zune devices and WP7 devices ? How does the WP8 app do it, maybe so converter/program can be put in there to make it see it as a Zune device ?

With it being like a USB drive, I am sure it should not be hard for someone to do...for someone who knows how Zune works and can access the API for it..
[Windows Phone 8 General] sinister1:
You know what, I wonder if there something in Zune's registry that can be changed?? Hum.... I'll look into it see if I can find anything.:silly:
[Windows Phone 8 General] sinister1:
Hum found something but not sure; under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Zune>Sync>Windows Phone>Handlers>DNS. Can someone look into it and see if anything if it is possible to write a new entry or change something? If it's a dll that needs to be changed then I'll have to leave it to a pro, I'm no good with dlls. Hopefully someone with the know how can help us.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DavidinCT:
Good luck, I'll take a look if I get a second tonight to see if I can figure out anything but, I dont understand how Zune subsystem really works but, there has to be white paper on it or something...
[Windows Phone 8 General] sinister1:
Cool let me know what you find because I've hit a bump.
[Windows Phone 8 General] C-Lang:
Not to be Eeyore here, but what you are trying to do is the equivalent of making Zune sync to an iPod or other Mp3 player. It can't be done. You need drivers and numerous other resources from Microsoft, which they have developed.
[Windows Phone 8 General] dazza9075:
he has a point here guys, and even if zune was jus copying music from one folder to another like a MP3 player it still wont work as zune has a database as well that would need amending. nope, without some kind of emulation layer, it is unlikely to ever be done

course, I should have checked the dates on this, that was some bump!
[Windows Phone 8 General] sinister1:
Oh yeah that darn Zune data base, I forgot about that... double bump!!
[Windows Phone 8 General] stead:
Doesn't WMP sync to usb devices?

and also does video/pictures?

I always thought zune just did what wmp does but for wp, although saying that I've never tried it with mine, just got annoyed at how pointless the windows phone 8 app is...
[Windows Phone 8 General] dazza9075:
Yes wmp will sync to a usb device but a WP device isn't a usb device, other than the final result wmp and Zune have nothing In common, i don't have a wp8 device so haven't had the pleasure of using it but Zune is actually really good
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Zune speaks MTPZ (Media Transfer Protocol, Zune extensions). WP8 (and Windows Explorer, when showing a "media device" instead of a "removable drive") speak MTP (without the Z). They are not compatible. Your chances of getting Zune to talk to WP8 without a fair bit of reverse engineering or MitM on the connection are quite low, and I don't personally believe it's worth the effort.

With that said, I think WMP does (or perhaps did at one point) speak MTP. A number of other programs do too, including ones for OSes other than Windows. I haven't yet checked to see if there's anything special about WP8's MTP that prevents those other programs from working, though; there might be. After all, it was possible to get Zune and WP7 devices to show up (as MTP devices) in Windows Explorer after a registry tweak, but you did still need to have the Zune software installed.
[Windows Phone 8 General] prjkthack:
Windows Media Player will sync with WP8 devices, though its pretty slow.

Attempts at hacking the MTPz protocol have been ongoing for years and it just died out and was never successful. Suffice to say, it isn't going to happen. We'll sooner get a proper syncing client from Microsoft for WP8 before someone reverse engineers the Zune software/protocol.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Localhorst86:
The only reason I would want Zune to work with WP8 is wireless sync. Wish there was a way to do that with WP8 :(
[Windows Phone 8 General] DavidinCT:
I'm interested in some type of Music sync, I guess I would like all the zune features (podcasts, apps, etc) but, I would deal with a good music sync app.

Is anyone using anything besides the crappy "Windows Phone app" ? IS there a good 3rd party app that would sync to a removable device (like WP8 shows up as), to have a better interface for transferring music ?
[Windows Phone 8 General] steve10:
Agreed. The lack of phone-to-PC cloud sync is quite frustrating. 90% of the time I discover music from my phone and want it to sync back to my PC, not the other way around. Xbox Music has its fair share of issues, both in the backend service and in the horrible Windows 8 app. If they don't fix this on the phone in WP8.1, I don't think they'll ever get it right.

It's just a shame because all they needed to do was rebrand Zune. Change the logo, color scheme, and name. I don't think we loyalists would have cared what it's called, as long as its functionality remained the same. Instead, they gutted it of all its unique and useful features, then reinvented the wheel. As a square wheel. Xbox Music is nothing more than a less-functional, slower Zune with fewer songs in its library. What a waste of time and development resources.
[Windows Phone 8 General] lathera:
agree with you a 100%

if you guys didn't know this Microsoft released the windows phone app for desktop out of beta ... it is a little better then WMP but no where near Zune functionality
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
Bah I am working on some software to sync music like Zune does.

Music and other stuff as well.

Does everything zune does(except phone updates), plus some other things.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DavidinCT:
If you can sync Zune with a USB device, this might be acceptable for me.

Sync with a folder on your hard drive emulated as a USB drive compatible with Zune, after u sync your wanted music, manually copy them over to your wp8 device...

Is this even possible ?
[Windows Phone 8 General] XxAndrexX:
the main problem is that I made all my playlists once with Windows Media player, and Zune messed them up.

Then I created all Playlists with Zune, and now Xbox-music doesn't allow me to add these playlists.

I don't know WTF microsoft is doing there, I only know I'm loosing my playlists, and spending an amout of time creating and editing playlists. That sucks. Especially, because its the same OS. And BTW, Mediaplayer doesn't recognize my lumia 920.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
Use my player instead.
[Windows Phone 8 General] N!njaDuck:
You can just rename the playlists with the proper extension for each app and they will work.

As far as the 920 goes, try powering it completely off before plugging it in.
