[Acer Iconia A500] RKramkowski:
A500 bricked - head spinning from reading all the "bricked" threads - need guidance!

Hi I've got a bricked A500. I have the CPUID and SBK.

I've read so many posts and threads about unbricking with so many variations on how to do it that my head is spinning. So I'm looking for a bit of guidance as to where to turn. So, yes, I did do a search on this forum and others. There's so much similar but different information out there and few seem to actually take you through the entire process beginning to end with no gaps or assumptions. I've tried several and Blackthunder's tools seems to get me the closest.

Symptoms:

Black screen. Power light will light.

Whether I reset, or hold the Vol and Pwr buttons down or not, the screen remains black and no vibration. Did this repeatedly - no difference.The device does show up as A500 on my PC (after loading USB drivers). But if I open it, all I see are two "video" folders and one "audio" folder. So the PC can see something on the tab but not much is there.

I downloaded Blackthund3r's APX flash utility and his A500 manager. I cannot get any of the bundle downloads to work from his flash utility. I just get msgs about there being problems with the links. Many of the links on this forum didn't work so I found some via Google search. So I downloaded a few of the more promising looking .a500apx files, as well as some bootloaders only.

As per one of the threads, I also ran DotNetDetector and loaded the USB drivers.

With both Blackthund3r tools, I do get the msg "A500 Detected in APX Mode" although the tab screen remains blank. When I start up the flash utility the tab vibrates, I now see the Acer logo, and "Entering Acer Download mode" at the top left.

I tried doing the full flash, as well as doing the specific file selection and only selecting the bootloader. In either case, the tab screen does not change (Acer Logo, etc). It gets through Stage 1 of flashing bootloader and goes to Stage 2. The flash tool remains at "Flashing" with the green bar partway across. Then it just sits there. The Command prompt window just keeps refreshing with "NWFlash started [resume mode]. I let it sit all night and nothing else happened. The DOS window just keeps refreshing with the same message. No errors, no completion.

One difference if I do the full flash. It gets stuck with the bar about 25% green. If I do the bootloader only, the bar is only about 75% green.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beppemila:
Hello,

I'm currently on Purity 4.2 and I'd like to upgrade to the JB4.3 based version.

Can someone help me in understanding whch is the best method?

Can I flash the Purity 4.3 zip file through recovery? Do I have to wipe cache/data first?

Or do I need to flash a stock 4.3 and then Purity 4.3?

Anyone with some experience on this?

Thank you!!!

All the best, Giuseppe

thankss. I solved my problems. It's MTP and PTP on CM10.2 to connect the phone to PC through USB . I've never used CM 10.2 so i was at fault :laugh:

[App Stores] Ready1:
Hi All,

I have currently completed an Android App called AutoPIX. Its an app designed to automatically take photographs at set intervals, capture the gps coordinants of where the photo was taken and upload this information to AutoPIX.me servers to share online on facebook, twitter, etc...

Features:

Set Interval to Capture Photo and GPS (Time Lapse)

Set Quality of Image to AutoUpload to AutoPIX

Share Album View or Slideshow View

Website Design Mobile Friendly

Enable Camera Flash

My original intention for the app was to attach my phone to a weather balloon and use AutoPIX to take photos of its travels on the way to space and back down. The photos and gps coordinants will be plotted on the AutoPIX.me website to share.... Great Idea but I have concerns about application misuse. Such as:

* The App is silent and can take photos with the screen off and no shutter sound, A Spy App?

* People sharing pornographic pictures

* People taking photos and sharing someones location without their consent and posting this online

* Are there countries that wouldnt allow this app

I have set a Terms of Service on the AutoPIX.me website, is this enough?

Should I be concerned about application misuse?

Should I be concerned about camera app requirement in a Country or State?

Appreciate your feedback

I have also noticed that in my Samsung Galaxy S3, gallery, Viber Images folder that there has been autogeneration of images. All the images are corrupt and cannot be viewed. I have my recent viber images in the folder and older batch of photos also - but there has been new corrupted photos, which are generated 51 images per day in the VIber Images folder.

I haven't seen it on any other forums - any help would be appreciated because deleting them is annoying!

I've scanned my phone with AVAST and MobileCare and no viruses are found.

Can anyone help me!!

Vodafone settings

Hey

I've got an Xda Exec and I've got no problems connecting to Vodafone GPRS/3G.

Im use the Tom Tom Navigator 5 with the Traffic information and I have no problems connecting.

Have you set up the ISP on your Xda Exec.

If you need the setting for the GPRS and the MMS for Vodafone send me a PM and I will provide you with the information.

Keep getting the warning for low "phone storage" but it's actually my application storage. From what I understand it's the /data/data "partition." Is there any mod or tool that will work for this phone in particular that can increase (by using other storage, like sd) the size of this partition?

Thanks

I've been doing some testing Trying to get xbmc to work on an aftermarket ROM and its a no go for me. I tried stock and it works perfect, other Roms, it crashes. I boiled it down to kernels. Can anyone else test my theory? I even tried stock ROM with other kernels and it crashed. Put stock kernel back on and it works perfect.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Feyerabend:
All was working perfectly until the phone frozen (i don't know if this is the correct word :p) and i had to pull out the battery. Then, I couldn't pass of the first screen, when the phone requests the pin number, because it reboots again and again.

Anyway, the ROM works correctly: ril, wifi, all settings,... I can't tell more due to reboots. Back to previous rom.

I hope I expressed well my little experience. Keep it up, gentlemen, it's a great rom.

Ril, wifi and settings work good for me but i had 3 reboots and the sound dont work, no ringtones, sms and music. Every time i start apolo and press play equalizer freezes.

But overall the rom is great.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PRRash:
Had reboots as others, rest all work fine.. reboot to recovery doesn't work.. No camera app..??
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] thehacka1:
Reboot to recovery is a bug in OliverG96's sources. To reboot to recovery you can install an app from the play store called rebooter.

And you can try reflashing the rom to fix camera.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Eskuero:
Isn't at all a CM issue, just that our binaries are too outdated and they sometimes hangs with latest display/buffer code by google. So the only way to fix it is to make some more workaround on native code to make it to work for us.

As maclaw said "ramdom" reboots happen also on galaxys2, so I guess is something with mali egl binaries.

Could you please post the output of a ´cat /proc/cpuinfo´ in the terminal on your device? If you are using the same software, these RIL issues might be hardware related, after all...

--> All I8190 devices use the NovaThor U8500 though, but chances are that there are different hw revisions around which cause these different experiences. It's just a guess after all, but still might be worth to further investigate here.
