[Acer Iconia A500] cjtulowiecki:
Like I said, I have a hard bricked Acer Iconia tab a500. The only way I can get the uid is from the ubuntu script by ePPep. However, when I get the UID and get my sbk with sbcalc.exe, it rejects it in the EUU and with v8.bat (nvflash). I will be uploading a video shortly. To clarify, yes i have exhausted ALL other options (update.zip, reset button, don't have an sd card with a backup, dont have any other way to get my cpuid).

Things that led up to this: I recieved the tablet from a friend to fix it for them. From what I understand, they bought it as is. So I really don't have much other information to provide. I do know that the bootloader is v0.03.13-ICS
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
I've had a look at the vid...theres nothing I can see that would point to "user error"... but thats not gonna help u is it...

wot happens if you run nvflash via ubuntu???worth a try but I cant really see what difference it would make to the usb write error...I'm gonna try see if I can replicate that error, could it be because usb debug is not enabled??? I'll check it out.

The only other thing I can suggest is to ask your friend if he ever plugged the working tab into HIS pc...if he has then you can run usbdeview on his pc and it will give you the cpuid (altho usbdeview names it 'serial number') you can get usbdeview from the bottom of the OP of the cpuid guide and also a pic of what you are looking for.

Good luck with getting it up and running, keep us posted!!!

Just chiming in [MENTION=2985507]dibb_nz[/MENTION]

But if I remember correctly, and it's been awhile, don't you have to remove the "0x" from the beginning of the UID? Or something to that matter.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Hey [MENTION=218816]md[/MENTION] good to see you and yes please, chime away!!

The sbk calc allows only 15 characters I believe, and OP has tried all possible combinations.

Either the calculation is wrong or the USB write error has another meaning, idk.

What if USB debug is disabled, how far thru the flash process would you get M?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah, been awhile since I messed with 50x flashing.

TBO, I don't know how far it would get without USB Debug. I think one of the programs didn't need UID or Debug

Here's example of my UID's with HC

Tablet Cpuid	: 02804040411FB0D7

Tablet Sbk	: 0xFADE0100 0x77A11201 0x4782F603 0x7A022103

And another after ICS

0x038061c7409fa617

0x79531F00 0xBB680C01 0xFB22E803 0x8ADE2003

038061c7409fa617

I honestly would try

a. Without 0x

EDIT: Think I found answer of the invalid UID number. Had to look deep into some threads (knew I saw this somewhere)

Here's one link; Probably have to backtrack.

These reference to the invalid UID numbers. Seems it has to do with 32 and 64 bit CPU/s OS.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Thanks MD some gr8 info there.... I'm wondering whether has got tab in apx mode properly, sounds like if its not then it gives ICS serial not the uid???

Edit: yeah we have been thru the 32/64 bit thing in the sbk thread [MENTION=4757129]MD.[/MENTION] ..I asked OP to start a new thread...

Seems he hasn't had an invalid uid error just the USB write fail?? Got me stumped, interesting error, would love to get it resolved for him....:)

I would not expect to see any other combination of vendor/product ID used for an a500 in APX mode.

As you can see IDs are different

The vendor IDs 0502/3341 is what usbdeview will show IF the tab has at anytime been connected to a PC...

vendor IDs as eppeP posted 0x955/0x782 WHEN tab is connected APX

but whether this reports a different uid...well, thats another question entirely;)
[Acer Iconia A500] cjtulowiecki:
I'll ask him about if he has had it working and plugged into his pc. And about the USB debugging, would that mean that since it's bricked now, it would have had to have been enabled before it got bricked?

And how can i run nvflash via ubuntu? Sorry i'm not very familiar with what exactly the nvflash is. If you could point me to a link somewhere that'd be great.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
K there's a thread somewhere I'll try find it...myt be in cpuid guide, gimee a minute....yeah think there is a way for no USB debug I'll try track that down to..
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
ok EUU says invalid cpuid IF you drop 0x and put a 0 in front.

when you run this with nvflash however, u get the usb write fail...correct?

Yes this is true - while in apx mode the screen is black and the white power led is on

Yes that is weird, I've never seen the led blue? white yes, orange yes..but not blue.....

m8 I just looked at the video again, i sorta noticed something first time round but the shot of your tab...it looks extremely small??? could be the angle but its defo an a500 isn't it??? I only asking since you mentioned the blue led:)

ok to run nvflash via ubuntu see the cpuid guide update 8th july (jn the first part of the post) and lcd047's method...just a matter of running the commands thru the terminal...
[Acer Iconia A500] cjtulowiecki:
Well...when i recieved this tablet, all i got was the tablet, and a power cord. I had no knowledge of what model it was. So I looked up a few ways to identify it. however, the serial number that is supposed to be underneath the sd card door is not there. So at first, I thought it was an a100. However, at some point, when i plugged in the tablet into the computer via usb...it says found new hardware 'Acer a500'. So ..really this is all i've done to identify the tablet. I'm starting to get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach...

Why would the computer mis identify the tablet as an a500 ?? i'll try to get a picture of what i'm talking about.

....why me.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
yeh not solved yet m8 check out the sticker on the edge of the tab,
[Acer Iconia A500] cjtulowiecki:
no sticker anywhere on this thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
errr...u may wanna google acer iconia blue led:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Probably identifies it as a A500, because that's the driver package installed on the PC. Just a guess.

I also agree the tab looks a bit small from the brief look in the video (unless you have monster hands)

A500 has 10 inch display.

A100 has 7 inch

A200 has the same specs as the 500.

Also suspect is there are no identifying FCC or sticker numbers.

The issue, is that the hardware is so similar, they share some of the same behavior. Example: You can get them both into APX mode the same way, along with other tricks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah, I did, and it seems the only references are to the A100 for having a blue pwr lite :eek:

And, we don't have the SBK for the A100 or the A200! And without the SBK from Acer, no NVFlash!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
AND [MENTION=2985507]dibb_nz[/MENTION]

Did some digging. If indeed is an A100 (I suspect) try the EUU's from here;

https://code.google.com/p/acer-a100/downloads/list

or here for the full file download;

http://topdownloads.ru/archives/file/EUUs_SBK_Acer_A100_1-008-05_COM_GEN1/8379101.htm

Might have to install A100 drivers though on the PC

Also, IF it is an A100, they have a forum here

Dibb, damn good catch on the tab size in the video (I also thought it looked small, but you can't tell)

He should be on the right track. Another thing about the a100, it has a dedicated Home button I learned.

What up guys, so was thinking of finally rooting my phone and flashing all these beautiful roms, but my problem is that we can not reset the binary counter using ...or thats what i know. All I know is that triangle away isn't yet supported for the I9500 model and so my question is..does anyone know if there is an actual way to reset it or if anyone knows when Chainfire will release the compatible update.

Probably right lol any recommended roms to start with?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
it's against the Rules on XDA to say which Rom is the best so just go for the most popular one :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
Well ya because there isnt a best rom they are all good ones but there are different opinions but I probably will end up trying all of them out :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
yeah same thing here i tried all Roms and eventually settled with omega because it is a stable Rom and good for a themer so :D

Thats pretty good information since im into customization too :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu44:
No. there is no way till now to reset the binary counter

You can flash a pre rooted ROM via ODIn and it would not increase the counter and you would also have root
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
Thanks for your reply, but no I don't think I will do that because its not only about rooting I actually want cwm and to flash roms..just hope chainfire is working on it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu44:
Then you need to wait my friend. CHainfire does not have the I-9500 variant so till he gets one, we dont have any love from triangle away :(

Dear ppl

The 9500 once you flash an official Rom the binary comes to official as it was no need for tringle away

But for the 9505 you need to.what till tringle away supported it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
So just flashing stock rom will reset it? Have you tried this and succeeded?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu44:
I guess you are wrong Buddy. You are talking about Device Status. We are talking about BInary Counter. There is No Way you can see the binary counter in I9500.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmednabeel:
Yes dear i try it and in download mood you see its official

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 AM ----------

I try it dear around 6 times since i got the device when i flash custom rom it shows in the download mood custom binary. And once i download official rom it comes back to official binary without any complicated issues
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
Well "dear" thats the status not the counter, the counter is when you install any not samsung recovery like cwm and install roms and stuff from there which will make the counter increase each time...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmednabeel:
There is no any counter increase even if you have non samsung recovery as i do have non samsung recovery but once i flashed official rom.i get back to samsung recovery with no any counter shows any.increasing
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu44:
Due. You are confused. There are 2 things Device Status ( what you are talking about ) and Binary Counter ( what i am talking about )

What You are Saying that Is in regards to Device Status and Not Binary Counter,

Please Read through XDa to understand the Difference between the 2

And i am happy being a Human then a "Dear" :p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmednabeel:
Ok but I'm talking.about both

Binary counter : official samsung

Device status. : official

Once you flash an official Rom you get the above mentioned status without any need for tringle away

And sorry if deae bother you
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu44:
Brother, This Is Different and What we are talking about is different

There is a "HIDDEN" binary counter that you,me nobody other then samsung and Devs can See
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
Exactly but on other models like the 19505 it shows the counter and the # of times you flashed anything non samsung. So using triangle away we can reset that number so samsung wont know you flashed anything.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
Found this thread that says that it probably cant be done unless the bootloader is exploited.

still im sure the devs will get it.

My coworker just converted his Note 2 over to ext2. Now he brags about how much faster it is and the extended battery life all the time. Having a razr, I'm happy my battery lasts ~10 hours. Though I would really like to increase that and was wondering if this was a viable option? I know about the pros and cons, some what. I know that ext2 is less stable/reliable because of the lack of journaling but a longer lasting battery is worth it in my opinion. Any thoughts? Also anyone have a guide for the process? I've noticed some talk about kernels as well and have no idea about that either. Thanks in advance!

[HTC Droid DNA] Apollo1984:
Long story short, I have a DNA with a cracked digitizer that I picked up for fairly cheap. Battery with SIM in reports on average 76%/hour draw in sleep and 150-250%/hour when using the phone. Doesn't matter if on WIFI with mobile data disabled or not, no excessive app draws that I found nor is it getting hot. So where it gets weird is I turned the phone off with 46% remaining after 18 minutes of use and took out my SIM to put back in my phone, bumped the power button when putting the empty SIM tray back in. Phone booted with 86% battery.... still draining pretty bad but I don't have a full set of stats yet. Battery hosed? or maybe water damage? I don't know where the indicators are on this and I didn't want to go tearing it apart yet since I have buyer protection. It was listed as 100% functional minus the cracked digi.

I know most people will say return it, which at this point it seems I probably will, but I figured someone here may have some insight.

[HTC One V] resinis:
I havent been able to figure this problem out, I think my phones mic is bad.

VERY low volume. When I call people, they can barely hear me, but I can hear them perfectly. I have confirmed this by calling my other phone, I can barely hear my voice coming from the one V

I have tried rooting, rom'ing, and different kernels. What actually controls the mic? Should I try a radio update?

If there isn't an obvious answer, I think I'll try sending it in. Its only 7 months old, and HTC just fixed another One V i have that was bricked. I have also tested the same software on my other one V and the mic works perfectly...

really weird, because its just very quiet even though it technically works...

edit- the one v thats not working has a radio of 1.00.00.0521_2

and the one v i have that works fine is radio 1.00.00.0928

otherwise, everything else about the two phones is the same. hboot 1.53.0000

edit- before everyone posts like crazy trying to help me (har har), i am rru'ing back to stock, then doing an ota update to try to push to the new radio. i will see if that fixes the mic, and if not, im sending it back to htc!
[HTC One V] resinis:
ugh! partial success! :/

So after the rru, the phone took 3 different OTA updates. Then I tried calls again. I use groove ip, and on default settings my other One V works great. Again, the mic on this phone ive been working on is too quiet! BUT I do notice a slight increase in the volume.

So I went into settings for groove ip and maxed out the mic gain- and it worked pretty well! Its not quite as loud as my other one v with default settings, but it does work seemingly good enough.

So weird! I already tried cleaning the mic with contact cleaner, and even taking the rubber block out. What sucks is now, do I send this to htc anyway? I have a feeling they will tell me it works so they won't know what to do...

Ill update if anything changes...
[HTC One V] resinis:
Fixed.

Sent the phone into HTC. Not sure what they did, it didn't seem like much. But the mic works properly.

I go to install a custom rom, and mic is f'd up again! Restored the backup I made, and the mic works properly again. My other OneV doesnt have this happen with the same custom rom installed :/ The mic actually works, but what I think it is- it's stuck in speaker phone mode. It doesnt matter if your right on the mic or across the room, it sounds the same. Not very loud with lots of background noise.

So, basically, I have to leave this phone with the stock rom I suppose. If I can overclock it I'll be happy. Just so weird why my other phone doesn't have this issue after flashing to custom roms...
