Hi,

I managed to install the v4b rom from the russian site. (with help of google translate (tip 3down hit + sign))

key points are getting the USB driver installed in windows

1) connect to windows computer with usb

2) turn off tablet hold power key for 10 seconds will work.

3)turn on power while holding ctrl+esc+power keys release power key first.

note: screen will be off but windows will popup with usb driver request

4) windows will report no USB device driver this is where you point windows to usbpcdriver folder

5) double click bat file (two gears icon) for your model in main folder. (ie flash_full_116 for 3g model, flash_full_117 for wifi only model)

let it run till finish

6) reboot, enjoy rooted working with market.

hope this helps

Paul

if you cant do it with the help of these full instructions, then imo dont try it.

PS pop onto pg3 of this thread and thank the creator of this rom, silver-alx

Hi Mr. Bereguev,

forgive my ignorance because i am a new owner of AC100

I had downloaded the Russian Rom 3a,

are these the steps:

1) install usb driver to establish connect to pc (windows)

3) do i need to use the nvflash (windows) ?

Problems with the apps

Hi everyone, i'm an italian owner of this very imperfect "smartbook", Toshiba AC100-10D with froyo. One of the missing features on this device is the the app "google market", as we well known. I used the the procedure suggested by "tharf" with the same pros and cons (crash of the market app, after installation/uninstallation of every app). I'm interested on "mock location function", curiously missing in this nearly-tablet, necessary if someone want use a GPS app. So, i dowloaded the V3 Rom from the forum of the russians friends (thanks!). I've followed the instructions without problems. Once flashed my AC100, the google market work without problems, also the "mock location" is activated (iGO work very well) but there's some problems. Certain apps, worked well before, but now crashed. Why? Suggestion about this problem?

Hi,

I want to install the Android Market on my Toshiba AC100v. Can anybody please write down a short installation guide in form of a step-by-step tutorial?

That would be so great - I have already loaded some files - but do not know how to start.

In the second post of the page you will find the link to download the third version of the rom cooked to perfection (almost)...

Is quite simple. Once you start the machine in recovery mode, you must install the drivers that you will find in the downloaded file, follow the instructions of the nvflash (is better make a backup of the original rom with the same program) and that's it ...

To run the nvflash utility you must type menu.cmd in the prompt, if you have Win7 like me...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tskisiu:
You put the machine into the recovery mode and hook it up to the computer with mini-usb. Windows should detect it and ask for the drivers which are included in the archive. Then, you can flash the firmware of the device. Generally the process is straightforward, but there is always a risk involved, that you brick your machine, so be careful. It is wise to use the backup command from CMD file, before you install the new firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leufred:

Sorry, but I don not get any further installing the Market on the Toshiba Ac100.

I have connected the AC100 (recov. mode) via USB to a Win7 Laptop - run the backup script and it says: " connection failed NvError 0x30011"

What am I doing wrong here?

Furthermore I don not seem to be able to install the USB drivers - I guess!

It says (wind device manager) "unknown device" Where can I get those drivers?

And what is on the screen when the Ac100 is in recovery mode? Is it right that the screen remains dark and only the power LED (white light on the right side) is on?

Thanks for any helpful hints and tipps!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leufred:
hi Kai,

first check if the ac100 driver is properly install into Win 7, here is how:

1) ac100 in recovery (flash) mode ("screen dark but power LED on") connected to pc (win 7);

2) press WINDOW Key and BREAK Key together, a window will come up, click "Device Manager", a list of device will come up;

3) open/enlarge "Usb", see if you have "Nividia....." there, if if does, then your driver is installed properly;

4) if you don't, look for "other device", then open/enlarge it, if you see "APX (with a triangle and a "!" inside ", right click, then click "properties", then click "update driver", .... then point it to the usbpcdriver folder inside the V3a folder, and it will find the proper drive there and install it.

5) after it finish, then go thru step 1) to 3) to check again to make sure.

Hi Fred, thanks for your description.

In the Win "device Manager" - under USB devices - I see a device called "unknown device" with a little yellow sign. When I right-click to update the driver and point to the V3a folder (USB_driver) it says - the driver already has been installed?!

And nothing changes. I have the google SDK package installed also.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4XonXD4:
Hi Kai, try this ... Download "USBDeview" and uninstall all the USB drivers for the Toshiba AC100/NVIDIA, then try again. Connect the Toshiba AC100 on the PC (the USB driver will be installed again) then turn it off and turn it back into "recovery mode". Indicates the path to the folder containing the USB driver known as "usbpcdriver" and wait for the installation. If all goes well the Toshiba AC100 will be shown in the USB devices as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices" ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleumat:
Hi, I will check this out at the weekend - I have already read about this tool..

But apart - from recovery mode and everything - shouldn´t it be possible that the AC-100could be connected to a PC and mounted there as a USB drive? I have that functionality with all my Android devices and it is even possible using a Mac computer. But the Toshiba Ac-100 won´t work that way. Why??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4XonXD4:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleumat:
Unfortunately it is in particular that that does not work. I have read an advertisment about the AC-100 where even this feature was listed as a highlight. Hm...

Without the ability to mount the AC-100 as an USB drive and without the Android market this devices is nearly useless. I have no idea what Thosiba has intended with the AC-100?!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tskisiu:
In order to mount your ac100 as a usb drive, you have to confirm under Android that you want to do so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleumat:

NEW FW V4a

Few days before silver-alx from 4pda.ru forum made new V4a firmware, which support NTFS. New FW also overclock Tegra soc to 1200 ~1500 MHZ :DD

v4 BETA:

4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=226289&st=869

Choteau stagnation we have some with firmware, so for fun I spread a new one.

Printable maniacs and engineers at boot wrote a bunch of unintelligible words, guaranteed to plow the 116 (new kernel), a 117 - at your own risk.

Differences from v3a:
1. Support for CIFS, NTFS, USB-modem (wood only), still a lot of something
2. Updated all the additional software
3. Entire file system, including the system - ext4
4. Locale by default - utf8
5. Additional different litter types CIFS Manager, a widget for WiFi, etc.
6. SetupWizard no longer turns the screen
7. The kernel is optimized for Tegra (compiler options)
8. Quadrant more than 3000

Put only full!!!
Standard wipe does not work anymore

LINK TO V4

narod.ru/disk/11871475001/ac100_flash_v4_beta.7z.html

V4a firmware:

4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=226289&st=964

Latest work - V4A

Stands at 116 and 117, have the choice of nuclei: regular bottles with animations or ravine Inita boot and a little more memory.

There is support for USB-Printers
By default is turned on debug mode for CSS
Separate setting for 116 and 117 with more optimal bootloaders for the corresponding models.
Put a full, on top of v4 can be supplied only 6 and 8 sections.
The rest is as before

LINK TO V4a

narod.ru/disk/12173911001/ac100_flash_v4a.7z.html

Warning !!!!

Firmware is optimized only for russian AC100-116 a AC100-117 configs.

Comparision AC100-116 VS 117

ultra-laptops.com/comparisons/toshiba_ac100-116_vs_toshiba_ac100-117

Toshiba AC100-116 includes Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G modem and 32GB SSD.

Toshiba AC100-117 has Wifi, bluetooth and 8GB SSD. 3G modem is missing.

Russian AC100-116 with comparison to european AC100-10N has extra Bluetooth and 3G modem :idea:

So, my question is is safe to flash Toshiba AC-100-10N with V4a 116 firmware.... In my opinion, I think that`s safe....

Many many thanks to
