[Acer Iconia A500] Hellspawn66628:
HI, I have been working on the PB Liberty Tab G100 for over a week.. I just want it back to stock.. no custom boot loaders or roms etc.. just so they can use it..

the story so far... I was asked to repair a PB liberty tab that was supposedly just freezing.. I think it had a custom boot V8..

Recovery was not working just getting the android dube with red triangle.. so installed thor recovery via fastboot..

tried the update method.. did not work.. tried everything.. but was having an issue with the wiping and formating...

I managed to finally get the cpuid by using a 64 bit version of ubuntu and have managed to get the SBK.. tried the recommended flashs A500 apx etc

but now i'm stuck in apx mode.. when i try to use V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm method I get the failed to format..

info found from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751978

I think I have an internal storage issue, or bad sectors.. or I am just not using the right apx.. and help would be awesome..

i have read so many forum sections and pieced together which has finally got me into the device.. but now I seem to have hit a brick wall..

so help i have tried to track down the bad sectors software to run in apx mode but cant seem to find it al all the link i have found are dead..

quick update
