So you can boot into the OS OK??

Did you root it?

You may have to take an OTA or update.zip to 3.1 first and flash the v8 from that as I'm unsure it will work from 3.0.1

is their an "apx device" listed in hardware and printers or in your pc system tray?

do you get "acer apx mode" displayed on your tab?

go to the root guide in my sig and Make absolutely certain you do the first 4 steps in that guide.

d/l the latest apx Flash manager tool v 1.0.2 and use the bundle market in it to install bundle #17

OR

use civato's nvflash package instead as this requires your tab to be in apx mode (black screen/pwr lite on) to work AND will give you a more specific error if it fails.

Once the flash is complete BOOT STRAIGHT TO CWM and flash your cm10.1 rom

THEN Do a factory/data reset and enable wipe of /data/ media (in mounts/storage menu) wipe cache and dalvik cache too. Reboot to cm 10.1!!!

Please do all the steps in the order they are given -

If "it doesn't work" we will need you to tell us what is or isn't happening and where in the process it fails!!!

Good luck:)

Thank you for reply

Yes I can

It's rooted because it is a custom ROM with CWM Recovery 1.3.4 by Thor

Is it OK to flash the ICS Bootloader from HC 3.2.1 "Civato-FLEXSTRIKER-HC.3.2.1 R6-BASE"?

Yes their is an "apx device"

and my tab shows "entering apx mode..." or something like that ! with ACER logo

"USB drivers from the Android SDK" on step 1 maybe that is what I need

So I'll give it a try and tell you what happens.

And again thank you for your help.
[Acer Iconia A500] haytham-88:
Well..

I followed your root guide and used Civato's nvflash package, lots of things happened.

file no 1 is the first result

then file no 2 , here is where I get stuck in apx mode again !!

errors i get :

error formating partition 4

error formating partition 6

The thing is, not every time I try to recover my tab it works

I succeed only once of every 15 tries to recover my tab.

so maybe some partitions are messed up or something.

One time, I tried to flash Civato's nvflash package again , and after few times the bootloader was flashed correctly, but the recovery wasn't !!

So, I tried to use fastboot to flash the recovery ... and it went O.K

After that, I restarted to recovery, formated data (factory reset) , cache , delvik cash, flashed the rom, rebooted the tab ...... but nothing happened !!

and i'm stuck here

I've done lots of searching around the forums and most of them recommend BabSector or tdv4_rollback_rom or EUUs .

only EUUs are working, and even that would work one time of around 10 to 20 tries.

do i have to flash the primery kernel via fastboot , and if so, how to get the kernel from the rom?

thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Boot to fastboot mode

Fastboot erase userdata, cache, system and flexrom - use separate command for each partition, note any write errors and post back.

Fire up apxflash tool....you MUST dump, save then use your tabs BCT when u get to that window - this should repair the bct error shown in the 2nd text file.

Also tick "show nvflash commands " this will show any read/write or partition errors..

If you get partition errors run babsector (d/l in the root guide) and follow the steps I posted there.

Boot directly to recovery and try flashing a rom again

No u shouldn't have to flash a kernel its included in the rom.

A full and complete erase is required first

(If there are errors here like can't read/write or bad data....your tab is toast) if not,

The bct error must be repaired next, else your tab won't flash any rom at all, even if the tool says PASS

Then reset your partitions with babsector.far

(Any errors like those listed above....your tab is toast)

With all the errors you're having its pointing to a faulty chip, flashing should not be this problematic.

Be sure to follow the direct order of repair....otherwise you'll be compounding errors
[Acer Iconia A500] haytham-88:
Sorry for my late reply

I didn't run apxflash tool I have try something before that I have flash a HC rom over the ICS bootloder "it is wrong I know" but it went OK and the tab boot to the rom!!!!!!!!!

So now I have ICS bootloader with HC rom. what is going on ??

I have a new long work "13 hour" and I can't spend alot of time with my tab but I want to understand what is wrong with my tab

I'm really thankful for your time.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Well, thats different!!!

Are you running stock HC or is it a custom one?

Which recovery are you using?

Download Acer Recovery Installer from the market, it will tell you your bootloader version. You will need root priveleges to run this
[Acer Iconia A500] haytham-88:
A custom rom, Civato-flexstriker-hc.3.2.1 r6

CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digetx rev1.7.3)

Bootloader Version: 0.03.14-MUL

and i can acsses Skrilax_CZ's bootloader V8 bootmenu Mode and all of it's functions

i think that i did not understand the bootloader thing yet!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
ok lets start with the bootloader and why we need it...

On most android devices your first step to flashing a custom rom is to root so you can flash a custom recovery....

With our Acer Tabs since HC 3.2 the bootloader is locked...meaning even having root access did not give us the ability to 'flash' a custom recovery - its just not possible....the only way to do it is with the "patched" bootloader - I don't know how the magic works, but the devs managed to find a way to 'trick' the system into allowing their version of "patched bootloader" to be installed which would allow the flashing of a custom recovery....and there is a very specific way of getting this patched or unlocked bootloader onto your tab....this is with a program called "nvFlash" which runs via "apx mode" or "acer download mode" using our tabs unique ID, the cpuid.....to make it even easier The devs created a "package" which will nvFlash the patched bootloader AND a custom recovery all in one go!! Once we'd done that all we needed to do was to boot straight to recovery and flash our desired ICS or JB rom!!!

In the beginning, way back in the day....some folks weren't at all comfortable going to these lengths just to have a custom rom, so some of the rom cooks gave us the choice to upgrade to the patched bootloader or to stick with the HC bootloader, by flashing a custom HC kernel after the bootloader flash....this is what you were alluding to earlier??

Most roms now only work with the patched bootloader i.e. skrilax_cz 3.14 MUL -v8

keep in mind these are ICS and JB roms...

I hope that provides a bit more understanding on the bootloader thing and why we need it...

Now back to your original problem, not sure why you cannot flash a JB rom, have you tried it again??? I just cannot think of anything that would prevent you from flashing anything except an HC Rom - You might wanna ask the question in the JB rom thread...there might have been specific steps you needed to take to downgrade from 4.2 (can't think what though) or others may have posted similar problems...sorry couldnt help you out ....

...but let us know how you get on, good luck!!
[Acer Iconia A500] haytham-88:
Finally I have moved from HC to JB and that is how :

- ubdating the bootloader from v8 to v9

- nothing changed trying to flash any rom I already have

- then and I don't know why I download an Android 4.3.1 from TegraOwners forums [WIP]A500/A501 JB-MR2(4.3.1) - V8t6

Anyone that used the de-sense mod (from Blackout rom) and found a solution in the call not appearing in lockscreen problem? (this problem is not rom specific..)
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
This is a known problem if you remove the Sense lockscreen. I searched for solutions before but cannot find any for our phone. I do remember someone said there's a specific ROM for another device which tried to fix this issue. But I'm not of the result. So I suggest you leave Sense lockscreen alone.
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
I've been searching all day. I think in a viper rom in one x there's a workaround but it's in a roms tweaks menu so I don't know what they've done.

Just for reference if anyone knows which other files besides the HtcLockscreen.apk should remain in order for the htc lockscreen to work please do tell..
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Depending on the Sense version, there are also a number of files "Idlescreen*.apk". Two of them are a must. Idlescreen_Base.apk and Idlescreen_shortcut.apk. Others are lockscreen widgets. Choose what you want.

If you're not using HTC Rosie but want to have lockscreen shortcuts, you can check out my app. But first you must have your HTC lockscreen restored properly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874283
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
Unfortunately by restoring (sense 3.6):

Idlescreen_Base.apk

Idlescreen_shortcut.apk

Htclockscreen.apk

lockscreen still doesn't work.. when phone is locked there's a black screen only and you can't unlock it in any way..

must be something else too
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Have you set permission (644) for these files?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Try adding back fusion*.*. Maybe com.htc.idlescreen_SN.apk too. HTC made their apps very dependent on one another which is also why a particular app can never be isolated and used in non Sense ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
indeed.. well.. tried those too.. nothing.. maybe its Rosie after all..

I give up..

thanks for your help!

wifi file sharing on webos is just one slick program for transfering files to and from the touchpad. no web address no nothing just hit network on win 7 and copy and paste to your hearts delight.

on android there is nothing similar unless I missed it. they all want you to point to ip:8080 or similar. but wifi file sharing is almost the same as using the usb cable but without the wire.

I emailed the author of wifi file sharing to see if he does apps for the android side but no reponse.

so is anything close on the android side?

[TouchPad Themes and Apps] lewmur:
You can "pair" your TP with another box on your LAN in webOS but so what?

Using Wifi File Transfer in Android, all you need to do is assign a static IP to the TP and then, from any other device on your LAN, you can create a "bookmark" or "shortcut" with that TP's IP. From then on, all you need do is click the "bookmark" or "shortcut" and you are connected. If you don't find that satisfactory then I'll assume that you are nitpicking 'cause you don't like Android.

Hey guys,

I've done something rather stupid....

Basically I've ended up with no OS on my phone so it won't boot (obviously).

I can't flash any .zip roms because I can't access the internal storage (as it won't boot)

I have a 1.14... O2 RUU that won't install as my hboot version was updated to 1.35, so installing that RUU is not an option either.

I can't find any RUU's on the internet (thanks HTC) and adb 'sideloading' is not working because it does not recognise that the drivers are installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS: If anyone has a recent RUU that I could use I would be very grateful!
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
update your twrp to the most recent OR use CWM 6 by myself, sideload takes a good couple of minutes to "turn on" so leave your phone in sideload connected to the pc for about 2-5minutes and it SHOULD see it. it's easier to sort it out this way now than trying to find an RUU. IF you can't get sideload to work AT ALL i have an ALPHA build of TWRP with which you can adb push rom's onto your "sdcard" with. let me know via pm

thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikedenney:
Maybe this'll help...a little

If you're into disappointment, maybe, that is.

I was interested in the same thing (among other things), with this emu (which, basically it is).

I found this Reddit post on the topic; basically, it says you should merely ADD the following line to the 'build.prop' file in the WindowsAndroid root folder--that's right, just ADD it, no reason to plug it in anywhere specific, or use it to replace anything there:

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

It's important to note, however, this is a density setting rather than a resolution setting, and so caused my own installation to show up in tablet mode, but, as I'm using an older low-res LCD Projector as my monitor (and, er, Windows knows this quite too well, BTW), my copy kept showing up with the screen out of registration--in fact, it looks like you're in 'settings', choosing between active screens (see my screenshot).

Ooops--my writing compositional skills must be lapsing, because--how do I know this stuff about your monitor res having anything to do with anything in this app?

Glad you asked!

An answer posted to a well-worded question that ended up on this site:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...in-socketeqs-windowsandroid/14885130#14885130

Note I reverse-answered his question with the same stuff I posted here--I'm so cheap!

So, for people using regular ole hi-res monitors, and not lower (pretty much 1024x768 for me, the trade-off being it's HUGE!) monitors, this may be okay for you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebas98619:
Lol thx :P ... Have you tried side loading apps .. If yes do they work ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikedenney:
Turned-off notifications...sorry

Yarp...if you count merely dumping them into the '[root]\system\app' folder (methinks)...tried that the first night, and got so many that didn't work (even pretty simple, 'non-graphicky' ones) that I gave up on this OS that very first night...'til later...maybe.

Too much janky behavior from that otherwise very cool idea. I got into some other things temporarily--I'll look back in (some things in mind) in a week or so.

That thing was locking up pretty consistently every time I ran an app on it other than the 'system apps' that came with it...I was interested in trying out my favorite old news & weather app--the 'geniewidget.apk' I loved from Froyo on (see here), post by username VJKotts with attachment--worked for me!

I may have time to list apps that worked, and didn't, later today, but many of them are specific to me (like, my over-use of the Ulysse speedometer while driving my last car, which didn't have a working speedo, so, that was priceless!).

Some various media player apps are of interest to me, since I build HTPCs, and am getting into using the Android OS for the same purpose (with portability offered by the new Android mini PC's!)

Some reviewers of that thing are reporting tons of happy success with using them as basic HTPCs, and lots of people love XBMC and Plex (not me necessarily--I've had limited success with each of these, and resort to much simpler playback of my own 'Windows-Recorded TV' files using Skifta, so I'm happy with that app.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theteju:
Hello guys,

I have done my level best research but stuck at some simple steps. My goal is to see a logcat from a application for troubleshoot. This is what I have done so far. I have a laptop running on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. I followed this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AndroidSDK and have SDK manager running successfully.

I have usb debugging enabled on my G-tablet. after connecting tablet and running the command "adb devices" the laptop recognize my device.

then I run the command " adb logcat > logcat.txt " just like explained on this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1616059

after running the above command I noticed a file in my home folder (laptop) named logcat.txt but the file contains only this "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory"

So here comes my silly questions:

1.) am I missing something obvious?

2.) If i want to see a log of what is happening when I run a particular application , How do i do it?

3.) Do I have to run SDK manager at the same time I am trying to run adb command? (i mean on background)

OH I have many more questions ,, but for now, please answer above. :P
