Yea I have been there too. I have reflashed the tablet about 5 or 6 times and Kingo worked, twice though it did not work, I used a different cable then it worked. Another time no matter what I did it wouldn't work tried VRoot that worked, unrooted tried Kingo again then it worked. Let me know how things go.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excalfirst:
Kingo Root did not work for me, so I did as you suggested and ran VRoot, and then uninstalled all of the VRoot Apps, and Rooted with Kingo Root. Not optimal, but it worked. So, I'm guessing Kingo Root Doesn't work by itself for this tablet, since you had problems as well. I did also get CWM Recovery installed, but the screen is inverted. I am trying to get TWRP Recovery installed, but I couldn't find a Zip install for the M7 to install from CWM Recovery. I do have a .img file that supposedly works, but the Flash utility doesn't like it, and I can't get fastboot to see the device. ADB sees the device, but "Fastboot devices" Returns nothing. I'll do a little more digging to see if I can get TWRP installed, maybe this weekend.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmckinnon:
Yeah it seems to be temperamental, I don't know why. I have a second M7 and just for the hell it I flashed it back to stock no root. I re-rooted with kingo and it worked right away. It seems to work when it want to. Let me know how you make out with TWRP.

Could you please re-upload your custom firmware for the M7? I loved it, especialy the boot logo (an atom!). I lost the download from way-back-when because my Desktop died and my lasptop has no way of reading my 3.5" SATA drive (yet). The download link is dead now. Thanks! I had to reflash to stock image because of warranty repair. It took Monster over 11 months to return it! Thanks again!!! :good:

Monster 7 Tablet Update

To snowcrash or anyone else who can help,

Is the Update that you received from Monster the same one .img file that's supposed to fix the internal memory/nand flash problem? It's available on their website and the firmware updater is in the Playstore. I've tried to install that update at least 25 times, even downloading it to an sdcard and then cold booting the tablet. It has not worked for me, and I'm beyond frustrated! Any help from you or anyone who has a fix to this problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob76smith:
Use RKBatchTool to update the M7. Follow these directions carefully.

Prerequisite: Download RKBatchTool 1.7. I can't post links so just Google. It isn't hard to find. Google "RKBatchTool 1.7"

1. Unplug any usb cord that may be connected to your tablet and verify your M7 tablet is off.

2. Plug the micro usb end of the cord into the M7 tablet.

3. Press and hold volume down, at the same time plug the main end of your usb cable into your PC.

4. Your PC should recognize a new unknown device has been connected.

5. Go into the device manager, find the unknown device, and update its driver with the Rk Batch Tool driver for your proper OS, and 32/64bit.

6. Run the RK Batch Tool, the RK Batch Tool should show a green connected device for your tablet.

7. Load the update by clicking the " . . . " FW Path button. Find the update and choose "Open"

8. Info about the update should pop up in the Firmware Info spot within RKBatchTool.

9. Click "Restore" and let it flash your tablet. Wait till everything is done! DON'T UNLPUG WHILE UPGRADING CAUSE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!!!

10. Test out your new firmware.

11. Click "Thanks" if I helped you! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob76smith:
Unlock the entire 16GB of your Monster M7

I have a zip file with RKBatchTool and the latest and final update for the M7. It will essentially unlock all the 16GB inside your tablet so you won't have to worry about space anymore. Unfortunately I can't add the attachment here? Looks as if XDA removed the "Manage Attachments" feature??? If anyone is interested, please contact me.

Thanks Rob! I'm very interested in that zip file.

If the file is not to large maybe you can email it to me or maybe a link to a file location where you can store it, would very much appreciate it.

Thanks again!

joserscrc@gmail.com
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob76smith:
Here is the zip. It's too large to post here so I had to upload it to Google Drive. The first half of the file will root the M7, the final update Image is the unlocked full 16GB image to flash to the M7. Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. I still have the files though. Hope it helps you out.

Error messages

In device manager, a device named "APX" (within <computer>/Other Devices) with a yellow icon on the lower portion had the following inside its properties box:

-----

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

-----

blackthund3r's A500 Manager reports at the bottom, "A500 Detected in APX Mode. Please install the drivers!"

Circumstances

I am using a Windows 8.1 PC. I have an Acer A500 running an unknown ROM that is bricked. It boots to Acer logo, then continually loops the android text animation.

I am able to boot the device consistently in APX mode. (The trick is to unplug the power cord before starting, so one can see when the power button is lit, to time the release of the power and reset buttons properly. The tricky part is remembering to plug the power back in.)

Attempts so far

I am trying to start over with a clean (EUU?) ROM, but first, I need the CPUID to get the SBK.

After following blackthund3r's guide at http://acerhacks.com/ , I downloaded the A500 Manager executable. I also got "ICONIATABUSBDriverSetup.exe" from a source I do not recall, but I am fairly certain it was a link from xdaforums.com .

I also followed the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48827675#post48827675 to get the folder full of "ini" files. I tried manually updating the driver from within Device Manager using files from this folder. This still did not work. :'-(

My plea

Can anyone help? Should I try a friend's Windows 7 computer? I don't want to install Ubuntu. If I must, will installing it inside VirtualBox work?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
XP, vista or win7 all work fine.

Win8 or any 64bit systems have issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] BCSC:
To get windows to recognize the drivers properly, go into device manager and find the APX driver with yellow triangle. Update the driver for this but chose 'browse my computer for driver software". Direct it to c:Program Files (x86)/Acer Inc. This should force it to find the correct driver. I am of course assuming you have the Acer driver installed.

I just bricked and unbricked this device a month ago. What an adventure. APX mode will lead you down the right road. Combined with the toolkits available, you can have it back up in a couple hours.

This link may help you out. http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=388

One thing is getting the uid. If you have an old nandroid off of the device it will be very helpful. There is a file in it that has a number in it that can convert to the UID. if you need more help let me know and I will dig through my history and find the resources I used.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexAG76:

[Acer Iconia A500] alexAG76:
I will have to check. I've already purchased a replacement, but it would be nice to get this thing going again. Thanks for the responses.
[Acer Iconia A500] BCSC:
Open up a couple branches in device manager and plug/unplug it. Do this until you find which branch it is in. Then apply the driver the way I mentioned above. At some stage you will come across the branch that changes. It should only take a couple minutes. Just watch and you will see a new item pop up. You are experiencing the same issues that haunted me and this method will work. Start at the bottom of the device manager list and work up. I'm confident it was towards the end. Hearing that connection sound means that it will be there.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassy:
First off, I'm an idiot. I know this. But I would also appreciate any helpful advice that may teach me a thing or two about how to rectify my idiocy and prevent any future idiocy.

was fooling around with my n4 (which was on the cm 10.2 stable) and decided to give the 4.4 bandwagon a go.

downloaded roms and gapps ready to flash ect.. (ive done this multiple times before)

did a full reset (inc. system and external sd storage) from the android setting menu after backing up sd card and apps because i wanted a fully clean phone to upgrade

Then plugged in again but was dismayed to see that the pc and android memory wasnt clean, it said stuff was taking up storage space but the file system listed no files...?

so i went into recovery

and due to my tiredness and general lack of IQ, decided to format everything under the sun in mounts and storage (yes, this included /system)

and i dont have a nandroid (since i have the 8gb one and could never justify the space cost of a nandroid, plus i though i was pro at flashing)

and now my usb is acting up so i tried to fix that, uninstalled my drivers ect..

but realised for many driver installations especially for adb/fastboot drivers this requires you to plug in the phone and turn on debugging for the right drivers to install

so now i have a bricked phone which wont connect to fastboot and i dont know how to solve this and cant boot into android to mess around with adb and nothing on the memory like a backup or any seblance of an os.

Feel free to call me more of an idiot than I've previously mentioned. But i would GREATLY appreciate any helpful tips and would wish you all the christmas cheer i can muster

I noticed that after the update to KitKat I'm picking LTE signal when that didn't happen before, I'm so happy .

As you know I'm in Mexico so I'm don't know which US carrier uses the same LTE band but I think it's at&t as we use the same bands.

tl;dr KitKat update unlocked LTE for At&t and T-Mobile

Edit:

It also unlocks stock tethering, also wasnt active before:

[Droid Ultra General] seh6183:
Can someone with AT&T confirm whether or not they have LTE now with 4.4
[Droid Ultra General] phositadc:
FYI I think att only uses band 4 in a few places. So most AT&T users will likely still not get lte.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
This. And again this has been active since the previous 4.2.2 build. Stock tethering has been unlocked for anyone with limited data plans since the beginning. If you have unlimited data it's still going to try to make you subscribe for $30. If you're on another carrier, it doesn't do this check. Hasn't for ages.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
I was not getting LTE until i updated to kit Kat
[Droid Ultra General] Teksu:
FYI - if you previously had Verizon unlimited and took a 2 year extension, you may or may not have tethering. I was offered a 6gb limit for the price of 2gb, but my plan does not have tethering enabled. However their new standard tiered plans now include tethering.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
You can call them and they'll put it on for you at no charge. It's part of the block C agreement. All unlim plans will pay for it (unless you've got some promo plan still active or some shiz of course). Anyone on tiered data gets it for free.

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

/shrug. Just telling you that Band 4 was unlocked on the "95" radio as well for 4.2.2 . If you had a bastardized build where you had a partial flash and you were running 4.2.2 with the "90" radio then yes, you wouldn't have had band 4 active. This situation did affect a few people.
