[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
When you get this error it means (basically) you have no rom on yr tab . normally

re flashing yr rom is the solution.

You didn't say what you were on before this happened. But I'd be a bit worried if your

tab quit on u for 'no reason at all'.....

The other thing to keep in mind is that our tab likes things to be done in a specific

order....so follow any of the guides to the letter.

Use babsector or tdv4 to repartition - flash a rom directly after using babsector, tdv4 will

take u back to HC 3.2 automatically.

If u can boot then factory data reset from within settings.

Or use cwm to do it and enable wipe for /data/media - after you've done a nandroid

If u get any nvflash errors please post them and good luck!!.
[Acer Iconia A500] skurtov:
Alright, after running Babsector, nflash gives me the following

Adding a little more definition to the issue, I was using Firefox on Civato's Re-Flexx rom, the one updated March 13th, 2013, on EzTerry's kernel, when the device froze. I reset it by holding down the power button, and waited for it to reboot, it hanged at the the boot logo. So i went into recovery to reflash the ROM, and it gave me a long list of errors telling me that it couldn't mount, System, Data partitions, etc. So I thought it might be the recovery is buggy, so i reflashed it through fastboot, thought that did the trick, and roms managed to flash. Tried rebooting again. The bootloader gave me the LNX kernel error. So I went back again and tried reflashing the kernel, then the rom again, then both, and it would still continue to be stuck at the booting primary kernel image. So i tried to roll back to Acer stock by flashing update zip through recovery, and now I'm stuck booting only to APX mode, and bad sector isn't fixing anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] josinpaul:
Seems to me as a hardware issue...better visit the acer service.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Whenever this turns up the news is not good - in saying that tho', there have been a couple of folks who have recovered from this fault, by creating a dummy partition that bypasses the bad sectors-it doesnt work in all cases, and if its happened once, it will most definitely do so again. Most users have returned their tabs to acer to replace the memory chip IF there tab was still under warranty....Some have managed to score a replacement m/b off ebay for 50.00$ and the rest have sold off parts (screens especially)

Have a read thru this (if you havent already) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952368 theres some extra links in the thread that may be worth something.....

However onto your other issue: stuck in apx mode....

then boot to recovery and try flashing a different rom...

Remember theres ALOT of difference between the HC and ICS stock kernels

in that you cannot flash and HC kernel to an ICS rom and vice versa - then on top of all that we have the unlocked bootloader.....which will only work with specific recoveries.....your LNX error is not a "recovery issue"

there were alot of kernels, bootloaders etc floating round for a time, so it actually was possible to run an ICS rom with an HC bootloader....I know mate its all very confusing, to say the least....Thats why I asked what rom you were on (not which one you're trying to flash) but this could be a moot point now becoz of the nvflash partition error.

To get out of apx, try running nvflash -r --go command -once thats done

boot to fastboot and wipe /userdata and /cache - see if you still get those mount errors...if not, boot to recovery and try flashing civatos stock rooted ICS

Failing that - check ebay:(

Your situation isn't good, but you have here all the info thats available on the subject...I wish you all the luck in getting it resolved......

[Acer Iconia A500] skurtov:
You guys are the best. I found a 16 gb board that'll be not only a storage upgrade, but will be brand new too, for around 50. So I'll just do that. I've replaced the digitizer before so this should be a cake walk. And of course my tablet goes out as soon as SmartGlass is available for 7in and up tabs..... :(

Edit: so I tried the previous steps, and nvflash hangs when trying to format partitions, if I try to push and flash the bootloader, it gives me a bad hardware/bad sector error again. Oh well.

PAC man rom I like it because it has all the Mods of "paranoid android" "aokp" "cyanogen mod" all in one rom you don't have to switch back and forth sometimes you want something on cm but its only offered on paranoid or sometimes you want something from AOKP but its only on cm with this ROM you have all of them you won't get bored of it and it still in development so you'll be getting updates for it...cons I can't really find much everything works fine the newest build fixed all the problems I had before

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sebs:
Hello,

I have a MDA 1 european version

Rom Ver : 3.18.01 ENG

Radio : 3.23.00

Because of a buisness application running on this device I could not upgrade to WM2003.

My question is could I upgrade the radio stack?

If yes wich version, and where to find it?

Do I need to upgrade the rom?

Somebody tell me that with the new rom version the MDA will charge thru the USB connection, correct?

Sorry but I'm a novice

Thanks for your help
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
If you arent having problems with your radio stack leave it alone is my advice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] myeepad:
Installed Sbdags' Stock 4.2.1 ROM. Everything ran good, except it became very slow after I created another user. It was still slow even I deleted the additional user. Probably need to reflash it again.

But, when I logged in as the additional user, I was unable to access the external MicroSD card, and only saw the emulated directories. Is this the case in 4.2.1 or I missed something? I really need to access the files on the MicroSD card though.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coruus:
So, many custom ROMs -- including CM10.1, Carbon -- won't connect to certain 802.11a/n networks. This seems to be because they are distributing a UK-specific version of the file /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt, which is loaded by the dhd module on enabling wifi.

The version they distribute contains the line:

ccode=GB

If you edit the file and change this line to

ccode=ALL

and turn off and back on wifi in your system settings, you should be able to connect just fine.

(The mac80211 stack should be taking care of regulatory compliance anyways, so I think this is unnecessary anywhere. But if somehow this short-circuits the kernel's efforts, you may find yourself in trouble with the FCC or equivalent. This should be fairly easy to test, but I am not worried enough to take the time -- for this to cause problems, you would also need a router that ignores the regulatory environment. Those are hard to find in the US, at least.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbadyRahman:
Hey guys...

My Note was running on Ultimate ROM 5.2 ever since it was published (over a month), and on 5.1 before that for several months. Everything was running smoothly just fine without any serious problems.

Suddenly, earlier this morning, I noticed that I couldn't play ANY kind of media at all! No YouTube videos, no videos that I've downloaded or captured, no music, no audio files, NOTHING. And it wouldn't make a difference what all or media player I use. They all fail.

When playing videos, the first frame is shown then it freezes completely. Counter stays on 0:00. I can tap and scroll through the video and the frames would move and change, but once I take off my finger, it freezes at that last frame.

I tried doing a full wipe and did a new clean install of the ROM. Problem still unchanged or unsolved.

What's going on? What happened to my device? Has this been reported on the Note before? Is there a way to fix it without having to take it for service?

Thank you..

[Motorola Atrix HD] clockcycle:
OK so just picked up one of these bad boys to play with for a while. I usually pick up some type of nillkin snap on, diztronic, incipio or mercury pearl tpu.

With my nexus4 I got the ringe rearth, poetic atmosphere, but preferred the nillkin. Looked through the threads and noticed the only one available doesn't fit our phone.

I ordered the case-mate barely there for the atrix2 but it hasn't arrived yet and I've already switched to the AHD..

Looks like incipio also has a "feather" case..

Anyone have one on theirs? Or recommend any slim ultra thin minimal case that doesn't overlap the screen(much) and doesn't bubble wet application screen protectors?
[Motorola Atrix HD] MagicXB:
I use a Diztronic clear black TPU case and it's worked excellent. :)

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrplHaz4:
My wife's got an HTC Aria that's been on its last legs for quite some time. My first "solution" was to update to CM7 back when the Aria CM7 ROM was first released, and it was good for a while. Lately, a few issues have been cropping up, and I haven't been able to get ahead of them (tried Mujeni's latest CM7.2, updated gps drivers...etc).

The biggest things she's noticed is the lagging UI - she gets the "force/wait.." screen a lot lately, and has had a lot of problems with the GPS getting a good fix. She also ran into space issues and couldn't download apps anymore, but we got past that (which is probably why some of the apps are lagging now - being run from SD)

Anyways - I was thinking of updating to the WinSuk CM10 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1826894) but am worried the performance of this ROM will be worse than the CM7 ROMs (features, graphics...etc).

Can anyone compare first hand the performance difference between the two? I don't want to give my wife a phone (ROM) that is going to just piss her off more than the old one did.

If the WinSuk CM10 ROM isn't a good answer - can anyone recommend a stable ROM that will perform decently? She doesn't really care about any whiz-bang features, but does use a bunch of apps, so compatibility with recent stuff would be good. Maps, GPS, facebook, foursquare, gmail...etc.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikef:
The problem with asking questions comparing two ROMs is that you will get different opinions from users of the ROMs because no one uses their phones in exactly the same way. In addition, it is considered somewhat gauche to the devs who provide the results of their work for free. Unfortunately, it has also been known to lead to some pretty spectacular fights between supporters of the devs. :( Due to this, we generally close best/fastest/mostest types of threads when we find them before bad things happen.

That being said, I understand and sympathize with your predicament and I want to help as I have had wife/phone issues, but.... to be very honest, I do not believe there is a ROM out there which will fix your actual issue. :o At least for more than a relatively short time. :D

I don't have an Aria so take my advice with a grain of salt :) , but I have a Sensation which has unfortunately peaked for me well before I can get something new (August :( ) and has had an issue or two as well, but I have maxed out its potential and am happy with it. Actually with the new TMO no-contract stuff I might even keep it until something really appealing comes along.

It's an Aria. It is what it is. You might be able to help it by getting a Class 10 SD if you don't have one already, although depending on the other hardware and many other software factors, Class 6 cards are actually faster at random access which is more common with smartphone and apps usage. Class 10 cards are faster at sequential access which is typically important for cameras or if she uses the phone as a camera regularly. Depending on the app, and I would think also for a2sd, sequential access might be better. No way to predict though, only actual usage with her set of apps would confirm.

I used to have a bunch of apps and then when I switched ROMs it was sometimes a hassle. I realized over time that I never really used a fairly large number of apps after the first or second time so I uninstalled them and settled out a "core" list of apps that I kept loaded always, and I use Titanium Backup to restore some other apps that I use infrequently and don't want to download again or have saved data for.

I make sure to hold the back button when leaving apps that are larger. Holding the back button should terminate it from memory. I reboot every 3 or 4 days. It only takes a few minutes and I don't get unexpected reboots and everything works.

I will leave this open for any Aria users to chime in and keep an eye on it so it doesn't go south. I will move it to the Q&A forum shortly.

Thank you,

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrplHaz4:
Thanks for the thoughtful response! I probably should've known better than to post but I am at my wit's end with this one. I've already got a class 6 card, and have been trying the "make sure you reboot" line as well. I realize there aren't many options left, and a new phone is certainly in the future (but why aren't there any GOOD SMALL phones!?)...just trying to squeeze a few more months out.

I guess I was hoping someone would chime in with CM10 will run better on the aria than CM7.2 (or the opposite!)...

Feel free to close the thread if necessary...don't want to clutter up an otherwise great board! :good:

These aren't development questions, so I wanted to keep these out of the development thread. Anyhow, I just installed BeanStalk, and I just have a couple questions, and probably more later, and probably other people will, too, so here's a nice thread for everyone to ask their BeanStalk questions.

Anyhow, question 1: I installed the themed MMS and Contacts package on initial install, but I'm not really diggin' it. I'd like to just go back to stock. So, is it just as easy as flashing the beanstock.zip in CWM just as I installed the beanthemed.zip, or is there more prep involved now that something is already in place? Does anything need to be uninstalled first? Or can I just power down, re-flash the new zip, and be good to go?

Question 2: I like the lock screen widgets, however, I'm not a fan of the camera widget on the lock screen. The problem is, it seems to be quite permanent. Does anyone know how to remove the camera lock screen widget?

Thanks much.
