OS reinstallation of beTouch E400

1.Download the latest OS for beTouch E400

(ACER_E400_1.022.06_EMEA_GEN3.msi) from acer website Download Drivers for

E400 (about 231MB)

2.If your build number in "about phone" is different from ACER_E400_1.022.06_EMEA_GEN3 follow steps below otherwise just run ACER_E400_1.022.06_EMEA_GEN3.msi.

3.File build.prop in /system/phone directory contains build number of phone OS.

So first copy that file with following command in adb shell or terminal emulator to your sdcard:

cat /system/build.prop > /sdcard/build.prop

4.Open the file in Notepad and find the build number of your phone in the format of something like ACER_E400_1.022.06_EMEA_GEN3, and replace it with

ACER_E400_1.022.06_EMEA_GEN3 because of this version of OS to be compatible.Check all the occurrences of build number in the file and replace them all.

5.Save the file and copy back to its location on the phone with:

cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop

6.Now your old OS version is the same as the file recently downloaded and can be updated.So run ACER_E400_1.022.06_EMEA_GEN3.msi and follow the steps until update process finished.

7. Your phone will be rebooted finally and everything will be OK.

For further instruction or in case of problem do not hesitate to send an email.

Is there sth new or improved in this release version?

and is it possible for EMEA_GEN1 User to use it? with ur explanation?

and any way of keeping my language in it?

Edit:

back to the porting-of-2.2 topic:

there is the whole kernel source code of the e140 phone @ acer download center... maybe someone can take some time to check if a port is possible with that source code!?
[General Questions and Answers] Padiamon:
Maybe some features been updated because it's the latest release in acer website.

The post is also useful for the release you mentioned, but the build number should first be edited to build number of .msi file (GEN3).

Hi Russian Friend!

First of all thx for the initiative.

I bought a Acer Betouch E400

Build Number : Acer_E400_1.018.09_EMEA_GEN1

Kernel version : 2.6.29-perf cmd_public@cme-desktop #4

Firmware version : 2.1-update1

Baseband version : C2-1.01809

Flex version : FF_E400_101809_EMEA_GEN1

HW version : PVT

ANP Version : 1.76

Is your rom mod with an english verion? can I install it on my phone? is so, could you please give us a step by step procedure?

What are the major advantages of your ROM mod compared to the official one?

Thanks again DViolet
[General Questions and Answers] DViolet:
Yes, you can install it on your machine. This ROM is universal and suitable for any E400.

ROM contains English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and Russian.

The differences are not big enough - not enough knowledge to create a ROMs. In addition, there are no kernel sources for E400. And besides, this device I do not and never has been - just doing out of interest.

The differences are as follows:

Based on 1.022.06.EMEA GEN3, but with language support from 1.018.13.EMEA GEN1

basic support for Ad-Hoc

JIT enabled

Removed a lot of standard programs and added new

The modified interface

ip-wall

dalvik heapsize = 32mb

I hope soon will release another version with a normal root access and a battery, with percentage

Installation is simple:

Throw off the image and the file folder on the MicroSD card update.zip before flashing.

1.) Run the firmware while the phone

Go to the phone and dial ##3131#

2.) And the second option enter the recovery

volumeUP + DOWN + CAMERA + POWER

Ok understood!

Maybe it would be a great idea if you can have a ok at the cyanogenmod project for trying to help out a bit for having a future port on our E400! I'm sure you ll get enough help there for have a much powerfull and complete mod rom on that device.

[General Questions and Answers] nessim19:
I renamed "dark_firmware_noir2164.zip" to "update.zip",

and I put that last file in the root directory of my SD-Card.

I went to "phone"

and I composed "##3131#"

It gives me a black "console screen" with "download failed" written

So why?
[General Questions and Answers] DViolet:
Because you must extract this package and don't rename )

...and today I released a new ROM version. This was the last version and the other is likely to be no more.
[General Questions and Answers] nessim19:
Thanks It worked pretty well!

Here is the procedure I folowed :

Download the last archive there : "dark_firmware_noir2165.zip" from "acer-club[dot]ru"(im not allowed to post external links in that forum)

At that point you have that file in your pc : "dark_firmware_noir2165.zip"

Extract it on your pc and get : one folder "Flash SD" and the "update.zip" archive.

Put the "update.zip" archive on the root of your SD Card.

On your pc, enter into the "Flash SD" and copy past the "image" folder on the root of your SD Card.

Unmount the SD Card both from PC then the AcerPhone.

Go to the "phone" application.

Compose : "##3131#"

Wait till the hole procedure finish and the phone restart (everything should be automatic, ... so it was my case).

Thanks again

I used to have a Samsung Moment where I downloaded custom roms from here and basically played with the phone. I have since bought the Epic 4G and given the Moment to my fiance. She doesn't want any of the custom roms on the phone, she wants it back to stock completely ... however I went back and ran the Sprint utility re-loading the OS, but when you first power the phone on it has the Haxsung xda-developers loading screen ... is there any way to get that reverted back to the factory screen?

[XPERIA X10 General] buk.3000:
Was changing my direct debit details & the guy said he couldnt hear me very well, I have had a bit of crackling during calls for a while & losing signal a lot recently.

He put me through to handset department who said they would replace the handset.

I have had the phone for just shy of 6 months and didnt realise I could change the phone for free.
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
If you have insurance I'd be demanding a new one, I'd demand one anyway if is only that old. As for the quality I couldn't say, but depending on the state of it you could also ask for that to be replaced too.

Should, emphasize on should be like new. A graded, so some parts will be old. Don't worry, but fully test it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shagratt:
I'm the only one having problems with usb mass storage? With all builds from all chef and all kernels it happens the same. I can read from the pc what is on the SD, but if I copy a file Android dont see it , the file size is 0. And new files created in android can't be readed by windows either (I can only read the files that were written on the SD before the last android boot)

I missing something? I tryied dismounting the SD from android with same results

Are you using it in the same way USB MASS STORAGE in WM6.5 ???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobertsDF:
I use USB storage all the time and in every andrioid build I've used(about 20) I've never had any problems. There are many people like me that also have no problems, but there are also many like you that have plenty of problems. I'm not sure that anyone really knows why.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shagratt:
Thanks for answering. Do you have 2 partitions on the sd ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
Just want to check a few things:

1: you plug in via usb and select "disk drive"

2: you are not still connected via usb when trying to read the items on the sd card?

3: When you disconnect the usb, you use the usual method (right click the icon in the taskbar and select "safely remove hardware") then wait for the SD card to be prepared by android before accessing it?

Also, how are you accessing the files in Android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shagratt:
1 & 2: Yes. Windows assing the drive letter and can read it fine.

3: I connect Android to pc, choose USB MASS STORAGE, in windows access the new drive letter, rename a file , choose "safele remove hardware", disconnect the cable, wait for Android to "prepare the sd" , go to the file and it has the old name!!! the weird thing is that if I connect to the pc again, I see in the pc the new name! :(

Is like Android is working with his own FAT32 table IN MEMORY and not refreshing it.

I tried Ghost Commander/ES file manager/Root Explorer, all with the same results.

PD: I found something else... If I DISMOUNT the SD from Android Im still able to access it with ES File Manager,etc. So its not really dismounting it :( Why can this be happening with all builds/roms? :(

[Droid Incredible General] blazin_phattys:
Soon after I got my phone, I used the ##778 reprogramming trick to enable "free" usb tethering. (PDAnet would crash my Vista laptop every 10 minutes.)

After the 2.2 OTA, I've been using the same trick to enable "free" hotspot through my Inc. (No root necessary!) I was able to access email and surf the web and after 1.5 months, I never once saw the MBC feature added to my bill.

Until 3 days ago, everything was working great. I would turn on the hotspot, my laptop would connect to the network and I was able to access the web.

Since then, my Inc creates a network and my laptop connects to the network, but it never connects to the internet. (The little globe icon doesn't appear. If that makes sense...) I checked ##778 settings and everything is fine.

I'm running stock kernel and 2.2 OTA with LauncherPro. I have ~200 apps installed currently. BUT none of that should matter because it worked fine with all these apps before.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Would the app that works for rooted phones work for me? I've been trying to avoid rooting my phone because, I'll end up spending WAY TOO MUCH time playing with ROM's and such. (It's inevitable, but I'm holding out as long as I can. Until then, I'll continue to read this forum to stay current.)

My co-worker used to connect his BB to my network, but now it won't even connect. It detects the network with 4 bars, but he gets an error connecting. (Probably because it won't detect an internet connection.)

This is bothering me a lot. I have a feeling it could be a hardware issue.

I got a wireless router yesterday for my workplace now so I don't really need the feature anymore (it's so much faster than VZW's network!), but I'd like to able to use it in emergency situations when I can't find an open network on the road.
[Droid Incredible General] Sweeny Russ:
+1 Root. Bro it will honestly take you less than 10 minutes to root your device and install wireless tether and you'll be off and running. If your timid you don't have to do anything more than that. All you have to do to revert is flash the stock image from your sd card to unroot.

I'm running Caulkin's 1.4, I removed sense (via his .zip).

After everything was up and running I opened ADB and removed a couple applications I didn't want, such as friendstream and rss.

One of the items removed was Mail.apk because I have always used K9 mail instead. I remove the same list of apps every time I install a Rom, never had a problem.

that is until today. For personal reasons I need to use the stock mail app instead of K9, however I cannot figure out, or find a way here to make it install.

Get a default Stock Rom that's shipped for your Serial number. Put that on the root of your SD card after naming it to leoimg.nbh.

Now run the bootloader with the SD card inserted, and follow the onscreen steps.

What do YOU think would make it better?

This is regarding the usability experience for a consumer using the marketplace, not the business or developer point of view.

I want to be positive here, and its hard to be positive with the marketplace.

I am using an ATT phone so I am seeing the marketplace from AT&T's perspective.

Anyway, to be positive, instead of just listing problems, let me make constructive suggestions.

1) Add filter for what's new globally i.e. at the moment, you can only filter by whats new AFTER you first pick a category

2) Ditto for number of downloads

3) Add wildcard search ... please

4) When searching and search term is clicked on in shortcut history list copy it to the input field so it can be modified instead of just instantly searching on it

7) your suggestions
