After TDs method I get the PASS on screen. Rebooting just gets me back to the Android System (*cringe, I know).
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
Ok, update time.

I have:

-used TD method, no change.

-babsector gives me a nice shiny bootloader that I can actually DO things in, such as the prescribed wipes, but then...same problem persists.

-blackthun3r method gives me a headache, lol, as well as a bootloader that will not work, since the power button can never be used as a select tool. pressing it once causes power down.

-FLU method actually ends up with the same outcome as TD.Likely with a non-functioning bootloader (i cannot recall to be honest)

At this point I am wondering if a nice smack up against a wall might help, lol. Kidding, but I am very much at a wall here myself. I am either missing one key little step, or this thing is FUBAR.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
oh darn....as I said m8 you just need to keep at it till it 'works'.

with babsector - are u flashing a rom in between??

seems like your tab has no system or boot.img on there - r u still using a VM??

Maybe fastboot could help but I'm reluctant to go down that path - if you **** up with that there is absolutely NO WAY BACK.

Cant understand why tdv4 runs without error-yet leaves you with nothing - do you use the "dotnetdetector.exe" to start the program??? Then try pbj20.exe or vice versa...

Each time you try something (nvflash, apxflash, tdv4) disconnect everything before hand and clean boot from PC and tab - that means powering off your tab and putting it back into apx mode, WITH the usb cable DISCONNECTED.

Other than that I'm at my wits end---i can imagine that wall is looking mighty tempting at the moment, lol - hopefully things will come together for you

rgds dibb
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
No, I scrapped the VM and added a win7 32bit install to my system. Fresh and clean as a whistle.

I will give TD another go and let you know exactly what I get as a result. I tried both .exe files to start it, I was one step ahead on that one.

When I use babA I get an error when trying to wipe the middle two storage options. I think its data and cache but im not 100% certain. I wrote it down but alas I am at work right now. I do flash a ROM in between using the SD card (update.zip) then run babB. Is that correct?

I am on stubborn, I mean PERSISTANT, guy, so yeah this will keep on going until something happens.

Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but once, way back before I found you, my savior, I did in fact manage to get it to run the new tab setup where I entered my account info and setup wifi. Dont know if that means anything or not....
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
NO it is not!!! We may be getting somewhere..... an update.zip is not what you want, its a stock file that is used to update "an existing stock rom" or it may be a FULL_update in which case it is a FULL STOCK rom. These update.zips use the STOCK recovery to flash. If there is a custom recovery installed it will OVERWRITE it.

What you want is a CUSTOM ICS OR JB rom flashable via cwm recovery - one of civato's or any of the others in the Dev thread will do. Put it on yr sd card, boot to recovery and then use "install zip from sd card". Do not use "install update.zip"

See how you go with the above, will be interesting to see what happens:)
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
I dont think I need to tell you how anxious I am to get home from a LONG midnight shift and try this out! Once again I have proven how utterly crucial it is for the person with the problem to outline EVERY step they have taken, in minute detail, to the person kind enough to help from around the other side of the globe! Otherwise you either run around in circles aimlessly or you toss out a potentially good tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
Update for today:

Tried babsector - gives me a working recovery and bootloader

- installed Civato's CM10-Flex JB rom

- After the second wipe (500B), comes up with no primary kernel error and hangs

Tried the FLU method - gives working recovery and bootloader

- install CM10-Flex JB rom

- reboots into the "Android System" hang up

Tried BT method - gives working recovery and bootloader

- install CM10-Flex JB rom

- reboot gives "Android is upgrading", "Optimizing apps", "Starting apps", then "powering down" and it shuts off.

- reboot gives you "android system" again.

- redid the entire process but this time formatted everything, wiped everything, and reflashed. Same result.

Tried the RE-FLex rom, Resurrection rom...no luck in getting a working tab...yet.

Yes, as you can see, I kept notes today!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Ok Sherlock, r u ready?

Do the following and post back what u saw exactly, what yr tab did and how u did it!!!

1. Run bab sector first bat

2. enter recovery full wipe Inc data/media

3. Flash reflex Rom

4. Run 2nd bat

5. Reboot to OS

Clean boot pc and tab.

Stick with using only one Rom

The Acer is picky on how it likes things done so u need to be meticulous. It also gets itself confused easily especially once things start going haywire.

Once skrilax boot loader is on there it shouldn't need flashing again unless u downgrade to hc. Does it keep disappearing??

K m8 try the above and I'll look forward to yr next update!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
Ok, had a LONG answer typed out on my phone, and it refused to send. Short answer is on its way now...

Basically all I get is that everything wipes successfully, installs successfully, and when I reboot, it hangs on the ANDROID logo for a while, buzzes then shuts off. However, the one major change, is that my PC now sees it as an Acer A500. Still cannot boot the tab into any type of OS. Frustrating....
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Make sure you don't have that update.zip on yr as card still m8, that's caught out a few of us:p
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
I pulled the card as soon as the rom was done, no change. there are no update.zip anywhere, i am using only the roms. am i supposed to be calling the update.zip? and i am not running babsector each time i flash, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
You pulled the card as soon as the Rom was done??

One Rom on card correct

No, no update zip

and yes no need to run bab sector.

So u flash and it reboots to an android loop or wot?
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
Not quite as soon as its done but during reboot to OS yes. It was after a few failures that I tried that. Yes, after everything, I end up with the thing just powering itself down every time.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Well I been round this forum for awhile and have never heard of a tab powering down like yrs does.

How far into the booting process does it actually get, does it get passed the android/Acer logo.

Does it power off EVERY time.

Is the tab itself 'hot' to touch it maybe overheating perhaps.

Think I'd be inclined to start a new thread relating to the powering down issue...also myt help to post over in the tegra-owners forum (google it) someone myt have come across the issue.

Sorry can't be of any further help but at least we've clarified the issue finally.

Keep us posted on any further developments , good luck

dibb
[Acer Iconia A500] sharkguy:
Many, many thanks dibb_nz! I appreciate all of the help getting me to this point. I would never have gotten it to flash a ROM properly without your guidance.

I know that the flash has been written to the tab, with the most successful being the latest civato one, but the whole refusing to boot into the OS has me stumped. Would you mind stopping in to the new thread after I make it and make sure I have presented my issue properly? With your prestige linked to my problem perhaps I will get more interest...

If I were any closer I would buy you a coffee or beer or whatever drink you choose for such dedication to helping my sorry butt out here.

Cheers!

Nosing in

sorry for nosing in but I am very curious. I have a Lenovo K1 bricked and looking ways how I can unbrick it easily. Though I managed to unbrick it for the 6th time(7th time bricking) but it's a painstakingly way. what is a babsector? what does it do?

I also tried this tool but it didn't work maybe a modified type of tool for K1 will do it but had searched and searched and still no tools for Lenovo K1.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sleepybear84:
I guess a large number of the A500s are having memory chips get corrupted. Mine is stuck in the android logo no matter the attempts at flashing/recovery/babsector/etc. Nothing gets it to fully boot, and most recover options end with a failure due to a read/write error.

It might be time to send this old tab to eBay for Parts.

I'm not sure what's exactly triggers the flag anymore, it's been discussed that a custom boot/recovery will trigger it, or a different CSC?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Drease:
Hi,

I use the standard alarm on my Galaxy S3 to wake me up in the morning.

When it goes off I usually just press a button on the side to turn it off. Since a few days, after I've done this there is a notification in the top bar, and a message when I swipe it down. (see screenshot below ;) ) The message reads (mine is in Dutch): "Alarm - You can stop alarms or put them in hiberna.." where I suppose the rest would be "...te by going into settings.." or something.

The annoying thing is this message is a permanent notification and it isn't possible to swipe the message away or I haven't found a way to turn it off. The only way is to reboot the device. Not too much trouble, but kinda trivial to have to do this every day just to get rid of a notification :)

The phone just recently started doing this, so I'm guessing it came in with a recent update or something.

Any help would be appreciated!

Dries

Long press the notification, then press App Info. Uncheck the Show Notifications box.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Drease:
Thank you for the reply!

It won't let me uncheck the box, but you did gave me a way to get rid of the notification; as I can "force close" the app. I then have to remember to start it back up, otherwise I won't wake up on time the next day ;)

If there's any more help, I'd be glad to hear it!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I honestly think the best solution is to find a better app. I'd recommend Alarm Clock Plus. There's a free version you can try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Drease:
I just installed it. Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I've never seen this one before.

I would clear data for it and see if it continues, but it looks like you installed another alarm app. I personally am using Timely now. I like the compatibility between TW and AOSP ROMs, the syncing feature, etc.

I would freeze the stock clock app if you're not using it anymore. Wakelocks you don't need.

Hi, my ME173x is a Chinese version and someone got a package like rom from the repair guy.

NOTICE:

The rom maybe for HD7 Chinese version

Someone upload it and here is the link:

pan.baidu. com/s/1qscst

(erase the blank)

The pdf manual says you should download the tools use SIP support account but we don't have the account. I think the image is included in the RAR file.

First I powered the pad off and plugged in, you can see there is a MTK preloader in the device manager. It would disappear soon so I quickly right clicked and update the driver from ''SP_Drivers_v1.5'' folder , if miss the "usbser.sys" just download from Internet (I tried on WIN8 but failed), you can see the driver has been installed and it will also disappear soon.

If I don't install the driver correctly and plug the pad, the cmd window will closed automatically after run "unlocker.bat" and input the SKU.

Here is the problem:

When I run "unlock.bat", I dont have the eservice account. So...failed...

So if someone have an asus eservice account pls let us know, or if someone can crack the ULK173.exe ( in "ULK173_20130618_2123_CSC"

folder) which is the key to unlock the ROM...

(ps: I opened the back cover and took away the battery, nothing happened after I plugged in to the pc with usb cable so don't try it as it doesn't work)

If anyone find out how to recovery, pls let us know and many people are waiting for that and say thank you.

INDTRODUCTION

Hey there!! How is this going? This morning I was thinking how to avoid repeated threads by noob users who don't search in the forum and I had the idea of creating IRC chats where everybody can go and ask their questions. More experienced users, who know where the best guides are, and who know the best way to help out others (because all of us were noobs once, and some of us feel we still are... ;) ) could get into that chats when they open xda-developers and answer noob questions which would appear in the chats. Noob people, before asking something in a new thread should get into the chats and ask questions if they can't manage to find the answer to their question before opening new threads.​

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES

- Faster help

- Social communication

- Solidarity with others

- Direct communication between users

- People who learn faster, help faster

- Cleaner xda-developers
​

DISADVANTAGES

- Helpers don't get thanks (although I don't really mind, maybe some others do)

- All the help doesn't get saved for others

- If experienced users don't get in, this chat won't have any sense/utility
​

THE IDEA

You can maybe share this thread in your device's Q/A or General Subforum to make everybody know the idea. Then, in the same thread you create a specific device new IRC chat and share in this one. I would regulary update first post with all the IRC noob chats created in xda-developers.​

What do you think? Ideas? Suggestions?

Thank youuuuuu!

Hi, I have Arc S for 8 Months and it was great until today, when i'm on the phone , people say that they can't hear me. and when i yell at them on the bottom of my phone,they can hardly hear me. i have tried the option to turn off noise suppression , my microphone still sounds quiet . i have also tried the phones hardware testing function and it still sounds the same.I have unlocked bootloader so its out of warranty.Is there anything i can do to regain my mics performance?

currently i am on Stock GB(latest).

I really need your help. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 17th_angel:
In the dialer enter:

*#*#7378423#*#*

Then appears a service menu where you can test (at least it says so) some if not all the equipment including both microphones.

I guess that if no problems shows you have to flash your rom again or test another and see if the issue its still there.

If your microphone is broken then you should take it to service $

Sorry if i cant be of more help

- This ROM have KNOX security effect on bootloader

- I have flashed this ROM with bootloader and even after that I was able to downgrade MG1 ROM as well reflash this ROM again.

- Pre and post flashing EFS backup highly recommended

- This ROM have bootloader and you have to flash separately (Edit : Now you can use this ROM without bootloader too, read installation instruction)

- Recommend to wipe data (factory reset) before flashing ROM

- No one here on XDA is responsible for any bad effect on your device, You are flashing this at your own risk.

Installation Instruction

- Download Prerooted,Deodexed,Zip aligned N7100XXEMJ2 Here Direct MIRROR (Thanks to [MENTION=4466180]MojoManagement[/MENTION] ) here is other MIRROR (thank to [MENTION=310832]kunals.shah[/MENTION] for mirror)

- Download Philz recovery if you don't have already. (you can use other but I have tested this one only)

- Copy ROM zip file to SD card and flash it with CWM.

- After Installation of this ROM, you want have WIFI working, You have to Download This Patch and extract to get patch.tar.md5 and flash with PDA tab of Odin to get wifi working. (remember this patch I have tested on MJ2 and using on other ROM may cause serious issue.)

PS : Who have already flashed bootloader and want to get rid of bootloader follow this steps

Downgrade to 4.1.2 (I have tested MG1 My prerooted)

Flash Philz latest recovery

Flash MJ2 from above said link

Flash above said patch

- Reboot normally

Special Notes

- SuperSu zp won't work to root this ROM, though you need not to do it, as This rom is already prerooted.

- If you restore app with Titanium backup, many of applications may not work, but need not to worry, follow this to make it work.

Install terminal emulator from Play store. open it, execute superSu permission and follow below said command

su
restorecon -R -v /data/data

After this you can close terminal and you will have working app which you have restored with titanium.

Remember you have to follow this everytime you restore data from titanium backup.

To All My Dr.Ketan ROM users, If you can't hold your horse, proceed with this and you will be able to flash my update based on this ROM most probable without wipe, Can't promise but may be before week end.

Enjoy latest preofficial ROM
