My nephew tried to root his A100 and somehow ending up where now all he gets is the "recovery verified failed-spin forever" message. I have done some research on this forum and others and I am seeing some updates and such to put on the SD card to try and reboot the tablet to its factory settings. My problem is this-how do I access the SD card if the tablet won't boot? When I connect the USB to my laptop it doesnt recognize the mount(or whatever you call it) so I am unable to read or transfer files to the SD card.
I am using a blank SD card since he didnt have an external card of his own. So I guess my question is this-is there any way to read the SD card via USB that I am missing, or do I have to place the files from my laptop to the SD card directly, and then replace the SD card in his tablet(I hope this all makes sense!) Also, when it says to put the update.zip on the SD card, it is the whole zip file or the folder within?
Thanks so much for your patience. Im trying to save my nephews rear end because his mom is pretty mad he screwed up a new tablet that she spent good money for.

Was he running ICS or HC? Is he able to boot into recovery (most likely not, but that is needed to flash the ICS update)? See if he can remember what he did. You could place the sd card in a card reader and send the file directly to it. Yes, you place the entire zip file on the sd card (do not extract it).
Ask him which thread/method he tried to use. That should help figure out wat he was messing around with in the first place

Ok thank you guys very much. I will call him tomorrow and find out what he did(or tried to do). Appreciate your help.
Ok...so he's not sure exactly what he did because he is saying his friend did it haha. I asked him to call his friend, but the friend was a kid he met at the skatepark and he doesnt know where he lives...hmmm... anyhoo, where does that leave me?
I put the zip file on my SD card from my phone and put it into the tablet, did the power on/volume up trick and got the same "spin forever" message. If anyone can walk me through another process I am open to putting in the time.
My next move(or last one) would be to call Acer and plead my nephew's case and hope they would honor the warranty(but then I would have to lend my nephew the money to ship the tablet back and forth haha because his mom won't pay for it!)
Again, thank you so much.

Did you try resetting it? This may be quite crazy but, you could try unlocking the bootloader, flashing a recovery, then flashing a rom.
Sometimes people rename the file and add an extra "zip" and that gives the error you describe. Take the file onto your computer (I am using Windows, and do not know Linux) right click and rename the file "update". Do not add zip.
Try that.
or they tried the acer recovery app from the market and borked the stock recovery. if thats the case youll have to find the thread crossix has the original files on and follow his instructions.

That could be the issue, but the method crossix gave to fix it requires it to be done through the terminal (so the device needs to be booted up for it to be done).
The zip file is named correctly(not with an additional .zip)..When you say to flash, I'm not sure what that means. Does that mean putting the files on the SD card through my computer? Also, yes, I did try resetting it and same result. I have submitted a service ticket to Acer waiting to hear back. Thanks for all your input, sorry to be such a noob..

No. To flash the file, you just need to place it on your external sd card, then boot into recovery (it seems like your's is corrupted though).
I ended up sending the Tablet in for service. Fingers crossed that will fix it free of charge under the warranty! Thanks again for everyone's help!

What exactly happened in AAHK? What have you done since rooting - for example, have you installed a custom ROM?

Where is it telling you those messages?
If you want someone to help you need to give detailed list of what you did and what messages have been output.

Hack Kit does not mess sdcards, so yours should have been bad before, or maybe the contacts in the device are not ok. Have you tried formatting the sdcard?
That might happen if you improperly unmount it. Have you unmount it from the device, take it off and put it back, choosing to eject it from the menu?

That is really not a good attitude to have here.
Oops, thanked you; definitely on accident.
Format the card. If that doesn't work get a new one. Yours might be corrupted.

I will persist...
So it sounds like you managed to root your phone successfully then using the Ace kit. Do you install a new custom ROM as well or just go back to your original one?
If the Hack kit worked your SD card should work fine as it turns it into a gold card. If the SD card was damaged it should have flagged it up during the Ace Hack kit installation.
Turn off you phone, take the SD card out and clean the contacts. Put it back in and restart the phone and see what happens?
If that doesnt work format your SD card or get a new one. They are pretty cheap these days.

sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem
Hi.
My sd card has stopped working. It shows sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem, I made factory reset, hard reset but still not working. My HTC Desire HD corrupt every sd card that i put inside the whole. How to fix this problem. I'm worry about it because i cannot use the camera or to download any video. SD Card require for all downloads. In the PC shows removable disc but when i want to format it shows "enter the disc".
Thank you in advance

How are you removing your sdcards? Are you dismounting them properly? Try formatting it from the phone instead of the PC.

I already tried everything. From phone cannot format the sd Card. The option is to format it but when i make this option, it wont formatted. Remains only trying but nothing happens. The only thing that I will try is to root the phone.

You need a working sdcard to root the phone. I would advise that you try a new card.

I just want to know if is any way to root the phone without sd card. It should be any way i think. Someone told me to root the phone.
Im sorry, i know this topic has come up a thousand timed but i still have found no solid answer. I am on Wicked rom right now. I went into recovery to flash the new rom but team recovery wont show the zip files on my sd card. After trying some other things and different sd cards in many different sizes and classes,( formated in every ay by phone and computer) now i have noticed nothing including root explorer wont see zip files. sometimes it will show pictures or music but not usually. usually the phone wont even see the card at all. I have heard everything from reformat to the springs that hold the card are worn and need to be bent back to class 10 (which is what I used since i got it) wont work with the s3 to 64 gigs wont work.I should also mention that TWRP wont let me so anything at all. It wont back up rom weather its on internal or external and usually it wont even let me go to external when i try to change it. I don't have enough room on the phone to back up with titanium and TWRP wont t me do a back up either, I am basically stuck on he rom in on with no sd card capabilities. My phone is starting to act up and I really need a new rom ( not that I dont love the Wicked rom) and also get rid of the bugs i'm starting to get. I know this sounds confusing and Im not sure how well I did explaining it but I could really use some help. I have no problem if it would be easier to explain in person if you think you know whats going on or how to fix it you can IM me and I will give you my phone number so we can talk in person. I would really appreciate any help and I will be sure to hit "thanks"
Have you tried a factory reset and see if then the phone can read the sd card?
Try to Odin back to stock rom see if that helps. you should be cable to connect phone to pc using your internal. have you tried using Kies air to see if you can see your card, internal and external

I can hook up the cable and see the phones sd card but since the phone wont see the external it doesnt show under "my computer or auto play" I will give Kies a try and if I have to I guess Odin is going to have to be the way, Thanks for your help
HMMM try another sd card if you can. I had a similar issue and thought that my phone screwed up but it wasnt my phone it was my sd card. if you dont have another sd card try the one that wont work in the computer and see if your computer reads it.

I have tried a 2 gig 4, 8, 26, 32, and 64, brand new ones, ones I have used to phone to try to reformat, also tried windows 7 to reformat and also Ubuntu partition editor. it seems no matter what I do it just wont see an sd card. every great once and a while it will let me see the pics and music but that it, no Titanium, no recoveries, and especially no zip files with roms. it wont even let me create a nandroid and the ones I have it wont let me get to, I feel like im stuck on this rom with no external mem.
OK seems like you may need a warranty exchange if you have insurance. OK On this phone I noticed that new cwm recovery do nandroid backups on the internal memory. So if you can still mount that to the PC. Put your SD card with an attachment to your PC. Move the backup you made from clockworkmod folder to the clockworkmod in internal memory. If you don't have that folder on internal memory. Moved it all. Newest cwm u can restore a back from internal memory. And there you have it. But if it still can't seem to read the SD card. You may need to have another phone or repair that one.

I use TWRP but with them too you can use either the internal or external. The problem is when I try to put a backup on either on it fails every time. Im gonna to have to just use my warranty and get a new one t looks like. Whats going to happen when they see the phone is rooted, Maybe I should just say I lost it because I would still like to keep the phone in case one day I get really bored and tear it apart (im an electronics tech) and see if I can fix it. IDK, if anyone has any advise I appreciate it. And thanks Gypsy
Thats a lot of money for a lost fee. It would be a lot better if you can brick it. They wouldn't know lol I had done warranty exchanged before with a htc phone with s-off and they never said a thing

Hello everyone! I have a problem with my 8gb adata microsd card. It won't format. I tried formatting it before, but wouldn't do anything, and the program I was using wasn't responding, so I just took it out(Bad idea, I know). Now it won't format or do anything, all it does is show up. It has some weird files inside the microSD that I can't delete/move/etc. Help please?
It might be toast. There are some specific programs,that will let you pull the data off a bad card. You may need to find one and save what you want. Then put it in a new sd card. I wouldn't trust that one, even if you did fix it.

card is like $6 at walmart ....my info pics etc are worth way more to me just piece of mind is worth more ...try to get what u want and garbage it
Not sure what program you tried to format it with.
Try this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5220128/SDFormatterv3.0.zip
have you tried formatting from the phone? That's usually how I format my cards.
I agree, if you pulled the phone or card while trying to format on your PC, you probably messed the file tables. It's going to be hit and miss on recovering your information. I don't think you'll find a program on Android to do, but maybe on the PC. Look for the ones that do it for crashed HDD or post formatted. You may be get lucky if the information didn't get written over and it's just the tables that are bad.
so, I had my phone freeze up this morning, and decided I would reboot to recovery and flash something else. When I took off the back cover, I noticed the sd card didn't look like it was fully inserted, so I took it out, and tried to click it back in; it wont click in.
so, I decided to back up the sd card to my pc, and then I would just transfer the twrp backup folder to my internal card from the external card, and get to my backups that way.
well, I have been trying to get the phone to show up on my windows 8.1 computer, so I can transfer files to the internal card, but I cant get it to show up in windows; I have gone through the mount menu in twrp, and the settings in twrp, but I cant get the damn phone to show up in my file explorer window...
obviously the phone wont boot, so I cant transfer stuff wirelessly, and I am at a loss here..
-any suggestions on how to get the external sd card to click in?
-any suggestions on how to get to the internal storage on the phone via windows explorer?
thanks all..
EDIT: Well, I got the phone to reboot, and restored a nand, but the External card still wont click in..I'll take it to ATT, and hope they don't say warranty is void since its rooted..Unless anyone knows how to get the damn external sd to stay clicked in!!
Are you sure the click part is unlocked? It may already be in the locked position.
