I can help but first a need a bit of info.

What version of Android is your tablet on?

Is it rooted?

What did you get as your cpuid?

And also I think you have the wrong files because this guide doesn't use a500 flash tool. In the a500-bootloader-nvflash zip just click a501.bat and follow the instructions.
[Acer Iconia A500] flashrod_30@yahoo.com:
Thanks for fast response

THANK FOR FAST RESPONSE! :)

you are probably going to have to disable any antivirus programs you have
[Acer Iconia A500] flashrod_30@yahoo.com:
Thanks for fast response

sorry for late reply. ive been trying to do the rooting by using the ICS root blackthundr ONLY, and press the button at the bottom with check marks of what it is going to install, but the info at the bottom says "loading file info" and nothing is happening. usb debugging is on, and tab is on while on its homepage, so what i did i just click the button part to do the process, until it says done. but when i check the tablet nothing happened. no new apps was install. can we do a live chat, like in whatsapp or viber so i can also take photos of what im doing and what is going on, so you can track down everything?

Gapps for Omnirom 4.4.4

Hi, many thanks for gathering all here.

I've tried CM12, but found it unusable due to slowness.

Then I put Omnirom 4.4.4 which runs fine, but I'm having trouble with the gapps.

I tried OpenGapps ARM 4.4 pico, and my /data is formatted as f2fs, but Play is showing a black screen and play service stops all the time.

Which gapps version do you use ? I need a stable version.

Thank you

Acer A500
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
From what I've tested omnirom 5.1.1 seems to run a little better than cm 12 so you could try that. When you overclock it to about 1.5 GHz it runs pretty good. As for the Google play bug idk how to fix that I haven't tried KitKat on my device in a while.
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisdroid33:
Thanks a lot the opengapps work fine with this version. I'll stick to this. :good:

Hello I stumbled upon this because it seems to be the most detailed but I have an ACER A501 and so I can not use the blackthunder to get my CPUID and my file explore allows me to go to 'fuse' but i do not see my cpuid there either. please help. These are all my device details.

Model number: A501

Android version: 3.2.1

Kernel version: 2.6.36.3+

Build number: Acer_A501_4.066.24_COM_GEN1
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Try the USB deview method that is what I originally used with my a501.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1624645
[Acer Iconia A500] Klaw El:
Thing is i don't understand this

"Suggest you extract to the same folder you used for your adb files,

USBDeview will only work when you have previously plugged your tab into the PC WHILE

you were running HC Rom and BL"

specifically adb files ad i also didnt plug it in previously running those things
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
If you don't know what the adb folder is you probably don't have one and since your device is on hc it should work. So basically just extract it and follow the instructions and ignore the adb stuff.
[Acer Iconia A500] Klaw El:
So i managed to get my CPUID as well as the SBK but once i put my acer into apx mode and then enter it into my pc it reads and sets up the device but as soon as I run a501 and enter my SBK it says device not found my ACER is not rooted but usb debugging is on.
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
You probably need to root your tablet if it is already rooted maybe try another computer.
[Acer Iconia A500] Klaw El:
But how do you root the A501. I can root my samsung using ODIN but I don't know where to start with this thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Ok I think I found a good way to root but give me a minute.

edit: ok download this and follow the read me file in it. Hopefully it works.

Thank you so much for your help thus far but read the read me file and once I tried using the application a pop up appeared telling me:

Your operating system isn't compatible with the upgrade application. Please download .NET Framework 2.0 or above from Microsoft web site...

But I checked and I have .NET Framework 4.7.2 I believe which I acquired from my update of Windows 10 on April.

Sorry for being such a pest but I hope you'll continue to help me
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
What version of Windows do you have? Personally I've had the best luck with Windows 7.
[Acer Iconia A500] Klaw El:
No I only have Windows 10
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
I don't really know any other good way to root it on 3.2.1 you could try upgrading to ics or just trying rooting apps like kingoroot.
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
hi

I have a rooted A500 with recovery mode and everything.

Since my last update, when starting, it gets stuck on the bootloader screen.

I'm able to enter recovery and installed all the roms proposed on the first post but none of these seem to fix the issue.

What do you think I should do to try to unlock the situation ?

Edit: I've tried several bootloader flashing methods but they failed because the USB dirvers seem not to be working correctly on my Win10 OS.

Is there any alternative other than installing a windows 7 ??
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
What recovery are you using?
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
TWRP
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
What version of twrp?
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
V 2.8.0.0
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Have you tried wiping data and reflashing the rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
Yep, I (factory) wiped several tumes and tries all 4 ROMs on the first post.

Makes me think tat the problem is on the bootloader side
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Ok in twrp go to advanced wipe and wipe system, data, and cache the. Try to flash the rom without gapps. If that doesnt work then I can try and help you reflashing the bootloader. I'm pretty sure you can do that from fastboot if your bootloader is already unlocked.
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
Which rom does not have gapps?
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
None of them have gapps so just pick any of them.
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
Alright, same as before: after successful install, I reboot and get stuck on the booloader screen for about a minute and then, boot again and again.

And I also tried to launch the fastboot mode and only get the first bootloader screen with "Fastboo Mode' written, but nothing more appears.
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Ok first download and install this: https://www.mediafire.com/file/43164ady0msak47/15_Second_ADB_Installer_v1.4.3.zip/file

Then find the adb folder(in file explorer click 'this pc' and then click on your hard drive and it should be there). Once your In the folder press shift and right click. Then click open with powershell. Now boot your tablet I to fastboot and type 'fastboot devices' Into the powershell window and press enter. Your device should show up.

Once your device is detected download this:

http://skrilax.droid-developers.org/a500/nvflash/images/a500_a501_bootloaders_apx_ics_v9.zip

Then extract it and go back to powershell.

In powershell type 'fastboot flash bootloader ' and then drag the bootloader.blob file from the zip you just downloaded into the powershell window. Now just press enter and it should flash the bootloader.
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
What I have so far:

Nothing is listed.

My tablet is in fasboot mode and plugged to the computer
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Make sure your tablet is in fastboot mode. And can you open controller panel and tell me what it shows up as in fastboot mode?
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
Here's what I have

What is "controller panel" ?

Edit: my img tag isn't working :/

Added as attachement
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Sorry I meant control panel just search for it and it should come up. Once you open control panel select 'view devices and printers' and it should show your tablet at the bottom
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
in fastboot, instead of A500 in the devices, I see a device called "Fastboot"
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Oh I just looked at your previous post and it looks like you didn't open powershell in the adb folder
[Acer Iconia A500] BatouChou:
I believe I did.

I installed ominrom 5.1.1 and gapps pico for Android 5.1. When I connect to Wi-Fi, it shows ! in the icon and looks like DNS lookups are failing. I was using Omin 4.x previously on my A500 and it was working fine.

Also, during installation, I selected the alternate wi-fi driver. Not sure whether it has a impact.

Any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
From my experience you need to use the primary wifi driver and not the secondary one. That should fix the problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] lorikeet:
How do I change the wifi driver? Reinstall?
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Ya just wipe the system and reinstall.

Hello guys anyone still using the linked Omnirom based on Android 5.1.1 ? I flashed it on my brothers A500 and i cant connect my Google Account. I used the latest opengapps pico. Any suggestions what could be the problem ?
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Make sure you don't use the secondary wifi driver when you install the rom. Also make sure you format the data partition to f2fs(you can do that in twrp).
[Acer Iconia A500] finneus_:
yeah sry i didnt mention i formatted the data section as f2fs and did not use the other version of the wifi driver in the Omni setup

i think it is a Gapps problem.

it just says "there was a problem communicating with google servers"
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Make sure the date/time is correct.
[Acer Iconia A500] finneus_:
what date/time do you mean ? i set the timezone currectly for my country . Ill try a older build of opengapps maybe this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] finneus_:
Still could not figure it out. Anyone got any other ideas ? I tried flashing with several other Gapps packages and other version of openGapps none of that fixed my issue.

Hi,

I am a newbie for all the rooting and flashing stuff. Please pardon my ignorance. I have ICS 4.0.3 with kernel version 2.6.39.4+ installed. I can't remember if I flashed it with ICS or OTA. I am trying to root and install a newer ROM. I've gone nuts reading through all the old posts about rooting and flashing A500s. I know there is a tutorial at the start of this thread but it seems there is no rooting info there. Am I right? Also, it is a bit hard to follow. Anybody who can help me out, please!

As of now, I tried Blackthunder's A500 Manager downloaded from here. I've also tried the method mentioned here but I am running to an issue which I described here. The blackthunder's A500 tool does not connect to the tab and shows "No A500 connected" all the time. I can access the tab and its internal file structure through windows.

Please help me to root the tab and flash a newer ROM.

Thanks loads in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] finneus_:
I now have tried all the ROMs from this thread but all have the same problem for me no matter what Gapps i use. If i try to open the PlayStore it only says: "there was a Problem comunicating with Google Servers"

Someone still using a A500 Tablet and has any idea how to fix this ? Help would be really much appreciated.

[Acer Iconia A500] domneuk:
I guess you're on Win 10. You need to install drivers for Win7 manually. They're usually located in the following two directories in the Acer driver install directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer Inc\ACER ICONIA TAB3G\Win7\ADB\x64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer Inc\ACER ICONIA TAB3G\Win7\USB_ethernet_rndis\x64

Go there and run in each dpinst.exe. Afterwards the drivers should be installed to use in APX mode. Maybe you have to reboot your PC.

Please look at the post [GUIDE] Where's my CPU ID at, why you need adb and whats fastboot!! by dibb_nz. There, several ways are described how to get the CPU ID.

Hi!

i know is a long shot to ask about this tablet on this days however...

I found my old A500 tablet and i have installed Skrilax_CZ's booloader V8, recovery TWRP rev2.0b4 (TWRP v2.8.0.0), kernel version 3.8.13.28-digetex-thor-t68-android-l4.7, room Omni version 4.4.4-20150206 Tegraowners ROM v23.1 (thor & digetx).

is there any easy way to updated it to i guess the latest Rom, for this tablet would be the 5.1.1 version, and is ti worth it?

Easy like "put this files on the micro sd card and flash it following this steps".

I don't have the patience anymore to go around drivers and Andorid environments and all that (clearly i don't have any clue what i'm talking about). Once upon a time i did... not anymore.

Hello XDA,

I began following the directions at the following post:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/stabilized-process-to-unlock-bootloader-t3375527

which seemed have a lot of confirmed successes. I downloaded all the linked files with the exception of Attachment 3779589, which is apparently no longer on the site.

I got stuck at the step when, upon attmepting to root with Kingroot, the app said 'Root strategy unavailable.' I'm guessing the problem is that I'm running 6.0.1, and will need to flash back to 5.1.1. I'm slowly downloading PDA N910VVRU2BPA1/CSC N910VVZW2BPA1 from Sammobile as we speak, but in the meantime, I am wondering about the relevance of this set of instructions from almost two and a half years ago. Should I use newer versions of these tools when and where available, or are the versions specified in doctor-cool's post the ideal/necessary ones for this process? Would a newer version of one or more of those tools simplify or shorten the process in some way? Is there a newer, better set of instructions for rooting the SM-N910V?

Many thanks in advance,

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintm78:
Have you gotten it figured out? Just in case you haven't or if there's anyone else wondering, it's okay to start the unlock process with the step that involves the hybrid firmware. Aside from that the process is still pretty much the same.

Other notes....

When starting Kingroot for the first time it always says Root Strategy Unavailable, just go ahead and press the root button.

If you need to download Samsung firmware use the website updato.com. It is much faster to download from (15-20 min).

its a process but it does work . all i wanted was a stock rooted image with twrp so i can make a backup. my device seems to have a failing emmc chip and would halt the process. also it doesnt turn on unless i put in the freezer. i was able to get everything flashed after after putting it in the freezer for an extra long time. the write fail will happen if the unit heats up. but i think once you get it on there, you might be good

Well, I got my Redmi Note 5 Global (model #: M1803E7SH) just a couple of hours ago and was shocked that there was no manual or documentation for it, not even online! WTF? Never heard of this before. Packaging looked cheap, and after updating the OS I've already encountered a bug - when I run the Compass program in Tools it superimposes the camera viewfinder over the compass, even obscures it unless I tilt the phone in landscape mode then the compass shows on screen. Nothing major but first impressions can mean a lot. Where can I get documentation for the M1803E7SH? Or does Xiaomi expect us to just know everything intuitively?
