Great job

I tried the first file and it worked like a champ. My A500 is running and it was super easy. Thank you so much. Slightly off topic, but by any chance are there simular files for the A200 ?

Is the Spyware necessary?

I'm glad these work for some, (did not for me, but that does not matter) and I appreciate the work the OP does, but is it really necessary to try and get the people you are 'helping' to install what amounts to spyware on their machines? Reading the terms and conditions sounds like you have to promise your first born. And any agreement that requires you agree to any terms they may decide on in the future - making it your responsibility to read them on a daily basis!?!? I know bandwidth cost money, but surely there is a better way to fund it than that...

Please help

Hi MD

I am one of the most unlucky person... you could say.

I have followed every step you advised, but none of the rom work for me.

I have tried different method, but getting stuck at one point.

I dont have my UID, the tab is bricked on ACER logo.

You informed to get the UID by Ubuntu.. here I am completely nobo.

I have never used any Linux OS in my life... still tried a bit with Ubuntu 8.10, and I dont know if I am doing right but not able to get any UID on apx.c file. It says libusb folder not available.

I am not a linux person,. hence not able to do anything.

I checked with USBDeview and found the serial number is only 11 digit, i.e. 12909057015 . I am completely nowhere. Downloaded at least 12-15 update.zip package... but none of them is working, its stuck either on Acer logo or at boot verified failed" in red color.

Please help

Im having the same issue just happened a few days ago. I need help
[Acer Iconia A500] TitoHashbrown:
Same issue, no USB connection

SO I am also a total noob on rooting topics. My a500 hung while surfing the internet. Full freeze only option was to turn off tablet. Now I'm in a boot cycle with no end in sight. I have tried:

-Hard reset with pin on side, no joy

-Hard reset with key combo, no joy. Still boot cycles

The unit also is not recognized by my PC even after installing drivers from Acer.

So is my only option to keep downloading update.zip files and hope one is compatible? I don't konw anything about FastBoot and being that the device won't recognize on the PC I'm really boned, right?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yesterday my A500 freezes!

Had to force a shutdown, at start got stuck on Acer logo! :(

Tried the 4 updates on this post thread everyone talked about with no luck!

A few minutes ago tried the only one that solved my problem: The original 3.x Honeycomb:

ROM: SD_Acer_A501_Android 3.2.1_4.066.29_COM_GEN1

That Solved! :)

Now I will try to update to ICS.

ROM used: Acer_A500_Stock_ROM_v1.054.00_ww_gen1_rooted_4.0.3_ICS

Now I can not even load stock recovery (vol-+ power), only power light turns on and off as i press power. No vibrate, no acer logo only a black screen!! :crying:

Can anyone help? Ideias?

PS: The A500 always was stock, no root, no special recevory, etc.

update

:fingers-crossed:

For the record it seams that my A500 is in APX mode.

After using a fresh install of Windows 7 with th Acer drivers, the fantastic OTA Tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675939

Detected my A500 as in APX mode, and has an advanced feature specific for those like I stuck on APX mode that let's us Install Bootloader and Recovery. :)

First try didn't work: I downloaded and tried to install TWRP recovery and ICS Bootloader, it was stuck on FASE 2 (flashing recovery).

Will try this night with A500_Thor_Recovery_1.7.3.a500apx. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks,

PereiraMan.
[Acer Iconia A500] PereiraMan:
No luck yet

Not giving up... no yet! :(

On the Windows Device Manager it detects tha A500 like "Acer USB Boot-recovery Driver"

The other night a think it was different, something like APX...

Any way in the system tray on the USB devices always shows APX device.

APX Tool and OTA Tool detect the A500 in APX mode, but none of them can flash a recovery... Windows Drivers issue? :(

Because ADB via command prompt doesn't detect the device! :(

The tools use ADB commands, right? And ADB shoud detect the device in APX mode, right?

Any APX expert? :(

More info:

in the driver details I have this values: "USB\VID_0955&PID_7820\5&24FD8A70&0&1"

Read somewhere the last digits are the CPUID... calculated the SBK. Hope is correct.

Thanks,

I was following instructions to do a custom rom on my A500 tablet. I got it rooted and got the V9 bootloader installed. I was in the process of doing the CWM to update to the OMNI 4.4.4 rom.

Now, the screen doesn't come on and the safely remove hardware has an Acer Picasso USB boot-recovery driver.

I've tried putting the zips on the op as required and pressing the volume button+power for 3 seconds. I hear the tablet come on via the usb sound on my laptop, but there's nothing happening on the screen at all.

When I try to put the tablet in the APX mode nothing changes on the tablet or how it shows up in my device manager. I've even tried reinstalling the device drivers.

{update}

I left the tablet charging all night to see if that might have been a problem.

The tablet's power button was showing fully charged.

When I tried to put it into APX mode the light is showing white and it still shows up as that "Acer Picasso USB boot-recovery driver. "

I did notice after the power button was lit white that if I press the reset button that light turns off for about 2 seconds and comes back on. but that's the only life it shows.

A501 problem

Hey mates,

I have lost all my nerves with a501, friend gave it to me to fix it (it was stuck at boot-he did not brick it), I said no problem, i gathered CPUID and SBK,

flashed skrilax bootloader and cwm recovery, and started flashing roms via update.zip files,

i tried 10 roms but no luck, only one was succesfull but at boot it asked me for password, i do not know what kind of password is that (tablet wasnt locked with any kind of passwords)

other ones install just fine,but after reboot its stuck at bootloader saying that kernel image is invalid.

I tried also .apx installation and was not sucessfull - it opens cmd windows and it doesnt anything.

any help would be appreciated

Repost Files Please

Moscow - after 5 years of success with the previous help - my tablet is bricked again.

Would you be so kind as to refresh the links to the update files. I went back to my originals and all four of them are giving me dead robots. So, I'm guessing my tablet MIGHT be finally done. That being said, I figure its worth another try to bring it back to life. And no, I did not write down my ECCUID and all that other stuff you told me to do five years ago. So I am properly chastized.

Thank you for everything - I am still appreciative of your help from five years ago (and still have a copy printed out of when I wrote the "Hero of All Mankind" reply

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just_another_guy:
Phone hangs while booting up at logo screen, after the animation

Service centre guys say that software needs to be reloaded or reinstalled(I don’t remember what), but it will wipe off my 1.5gb of data on internal memory.

I am able to access recovery mode normally, phone display during charging is like normal, the problem starts after (trying to) switch it on.

I wasn’t trying to root it or anything, the phone was simply switched off for about a week or so. There is a small chance that some apps were open when I shut it down. Other reasons I can think of for the phone to behave in such an abnormal manner-

1 I think I had a virus on the phone. Avast antivirus would behave quite weirdly, and it would interrupt music playback. (I downloaded it from 1mobile store, not playstore)

2 I had very low internal memory-I had over 150 apps of various sizes installed, and I often would get “low internal memory” warnings. My sd card was also almost full.

I don’t mind rooting it as long as gives me my data, and preferably a method to un-root if it isn’t too tough.

Could I use “Apply update from sd card” to use my external sd card to root my phone after downloading software on it?

Could I use some kind of programme through a Usb cable from a computer?

Do you think I should do a factory reset, then use a factory reset data recovery software? Will it increase the chances of my phone getting bricked ?

(Are you aware of)any other way of accessing data from a phone switched off?

Thanks !

How to write in other languages after installing?????

solution

Just download the suitable keyboard from playstore and write in that language....

Like if i want to write in gurmukhi language, then i need to install gurmukhi keyboard from playstore... Micromax a89 doesn't support gurmukhi language by default, i mean to say if i try to write in gurmukhi language using gurmukhi keyboard a89 doesn't show any typed word. But after installing code 2000 font it starts writing in gurmukhi language...

So if you want to write in other language you have install the keyboard of that. Language from playstore...

I am eligible for an upgrade in just a couple of weeks. I love my S3 so naturally I would like the S5. However, like most of you on here I am heavily into modding my device. I just wanted to see what everyone thought of the phone without root. Has it hindered your usage much? Would you still recommend it without root?

Note: I'm not trying to discourage the community, I am sure this phone will see root eventually.

Sorry! This belongs in Q&A. Moderators please move or delete, thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagery77:
If you're highly use to root, I would not recommend. If you aren't, I would. There are so many online ads and formatting issues with Kit Kat while browsing. Force to zoom and text fit is not working in all browsers. Nor Flash. Each of these work, but not all in the same browser it seems. I've probably tried 10 but prefer Boat for its customization and navigation bar. And if a feature works in one browser, I find those browsers aren't as highly configurable, so you're having to sacrifice a few things to achieve another within a browser. Come to think of it, all my complaints are internet based. So perhaps its not as bad as it sounds. It really is an awesome phone, but my device has been like a desktop computer in my pocket for years. I feel severely limited at this point. Also the sd card thing is limiting. I don't have the right words to describe, but basically it makes you have to utilize its own file browser for the most important jobs. I can no longer sync music and videos to my sd card off the bat. I can only sync to internal, then move. I don't think that My Files is very user friendly compared to my default file browser, so its time consuming to do all this shuffling to my 64gb sd so I can view things as I need and want to utilize them. Lots of bloat, but most can be turned off or hidden thank goodness.

But as I said before, terrific phone otherwise. Battery is tops. Touchwiz is fine. Screen is excellent. Easy to hold and feels sturdy and not easy to drop. Fast charging. Satisfactory phone all around. The chrome part is cheap looking to me, but oh well. Less fingerprints than s3. Nice features and hiccup free. Just stifled where it counts to me. People who aren't use to having options, still have them where it matters. I've happily been able to sideload. It's just taking some getting use to.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidstre:
Thanks for the complete reply. I cannot believe you can't sync music from the SD card, that is insane. Wow, I also forgot adobe flash doesn't come stock anymore. I usually flash a stock rom such as CleanROM to streamline and kill the bloat. Some key things I use root for are: long press volume key to skip music tracks, gesture controls, titanium, root Explorer, adblock, and for control over my CPU speed.

I'm considering the M8 for root but I am rough on my phones and know the glass screen will shatter. I love the form factor of the S5 more and water resistance is a major draw. I just wish I could do something to help with the root effort.

Also, Chrome browser gave you trouble? What do you use to play music? I use poweramp
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eikast:
I don't have the S5 but I'll give my reasoning for not getting this device. In my option, Android is great because you are given control, but when a phone is locked down like this then it's no better than an iPhone. IPhones are meant to be locked down so that's expected but android phones are meant to be open and let users do what they want with it. I really dislike Samsung giving into Verizon and AT&T, therefore I refuse to support their decision to continue their policy of locking down their devices.

As for the htc one, I love it and this is coming from a hard core Apple user who's going to get into iOS development. Plus HTC offers a free screen replacement within the 6 months for your concern about the screen. What ever you decide, I hope that you become satisfied with your decision.
