Hello guys,
I'm new to this forum but I read it from time to time since a few months.
I own an Iconia Tab A101 that I already rooted and so far I haven't received the OTA update toward ICS probably beacuse I used a Stock Rom from Vache which is not a full stock rom.
I already found few ICS ROMs but as I use this tablet for my job, I don't want to mess up with it. So far it dosen't say it would work with an Iconia A101, but only a A100. Did anyone already tried it on the A101 ? (I can't aford to lose my 3G conection/driver as I use it everyday to send my jobs forms)
Is there any way I could upgrade toward ICS without losing my applications and datas ? (I can handle the root and adhoc/wpasuplicant issue later..)
I wish I could install/use Nandroid to get a full backup of my tablet before just in case.... Would you advise me to use that application ? How do I do that ?
I alreadytried to install CWM but failed to it. I probably did something wrong or in the wrong order.
Anyway thanks for your help ! I love this forum.
Best regards
Fabien
Try looking harder. There's a leak of the official A101 ICS ROM in the development section.

Would you be so kind and point me/us to the leak of the official A101 ICS ROM in the development section?
I wasn't able to find it...
Thank you,

Acer didn't release ICS for A101 yet, so it's normal that you didn't receive OTA upgrade.
There is a leak of an old ICS build for A101 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25561591&postcount=6
I'm running it and it works fine. I just needed to delete and recreate APN, as the migrated one was disabled for some reason.
(P.S. You need to install all four update.zip from the archive in order. These are incremental and you cannot skip any.)
Thank you leomatt & smokku for you quick and clear answers. That's the spirit!
Thanks again,
Adrian
Thank you so much ! It worked like a charm.
Next step will be root (again), and adhoc support.
This may help:
1.Load Update1.zip onta a SD card. Rename it Update.zip. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
2. Press POWER and VOL- (the top vol button) and flash the ROM. The reboot will hang. Just power off and continue.
3. Repeat for the remaining updates, one at a time.
4. The final reboot will work and the ROM will be flashed. If error messages are encountered or constant rebooting is experienced, do a factory restart.
This worked for me and restored my Acer back to A101. (I had loaded ICS for A100 and lost 3g...I can't help fiddling with things I don't understand........

Hey. No need to thank me for telling you it even existed in the first place, that's perfectly OK.
For someone so utterly incapable of finding something so simple (seriously, third hit on a search), I suggest you don't even THINK about flashing it; you'll brick your tab.
Someday you'll get, that this forum is about people helping each other, not feeling superior to others.

Insulting people is a bad habit. Some day you will find out why!
Details ?

i about an OFFICIAL rom, not a stock rom modified, or a leaked one, etc..
It would be great if you guys could CLEARLY say what is made for ?
If it's for A100, its for A100, A101 for A101, etc... as well as for which kind of rom it is made for, etc ?
For someone who is used to it, it's easy ! However, even for a newbie there is nothing about Android terminology ! The poor guy is lost and nothing makes sense to him/her.
For example : ROM means Read Only Memory (as oposed to Ram which is Random Access Memory (volatile memory) ) right !!!
Well if the ROM is the operating system, then you don't only read it as you also write in it and can replace its content as well ! However, Android (the os) is a ROM !! Even for someone coming from the IT world, it's kind of confusing ! ;-)
By the way, it says not to install Busybox, but I had to, after to fix some apps.
The wpa_suplicant file however doesn't fix the adhoc issue so far.
I'll get back to the old file in the meantime.

Hey, since the official BBM for android is out, and not compatible for our devices, is there any other way round to get it working? Installing an independent APK did not work for me.

I'm looking for the same thing but I can not find anything ...
Yes, Our device falls under Desire C category on the Play Store's Dev Console (Mostly). Even the Desire C doesn't support BBM. Anyways, I'm gonna get a new phone in a month but having BBM for the WFS would be great

Ofcourse, cause you just midified the Operating System 4.2.2 but not architecture of your CPU (armv6)
BBM min requarment is armv7 achitecture of CPU
Ohhh NO , Not yet
We have to wait more than 6 months :crying::crying:
Just bringing this thread back to life, I got a working BBM APK on CM10.1, not sure about other roms.
Not really sure, But one of these links works, can anybody try? I Don't have access to wfs for a week now
First Link
Second one
I also have one!!!
Hey everyone,
don't know if the copy I have is one that's already here, but this one has been personally tested on cm10, cm9, cm7 and the original sense rom! it all works perfectly

good night
a time ago, for curiosity I wanted to prove a rom kitkat of Cyanogenmod 11... good, only I her used approximately 2 weeks since the truth did not convince me,
so I decided to return to the firmware of Telcel (mexico) on having installed to him the firmware ... the Wifi did not work already, it was not activated, so I tried to put another firmware of mexico, and I mark myself a strange error, whole, end up by putting the emergency recovery that KIES has
and there I was put by a firmware that is
version of Baseband I9195LUBUAMF3 and compilation
JDQ39. I9195LUBUBNC2
but from there ... the NFC did not work already ... the active thing, and it is deactivated only to 3 seconds,
later the speaker trumped me, send the team to guarantee, and in technical service they always iron the most recent firm, and it continues without raising the NFC
will it be any problem in hardware, or in the change of rom and firmware??
greetings and thank you very much
hello, good day....
to do tests,install Cyanogenmod 11 again, only to see that there the NFC works
and in this custom rom, if it works correctly, the question is, because in that of stock it does not work:S
there is already a thread about the not working nfc issue and a solution to fix this. look into it

Am I just missing it, or is there no root or recovery ability for the 915A?
Marshmallow 6.0.1 ****ed mine up when it got pushed down, and Samsung's backup software (all 3 of them) failed to capture my apps and settings properly. Really wish I could've had a better backup ability.
Does or has anyone checked to see if the update to MM 6.0.1 has unlocked the bootloader on the SM-N915A like the Verizon variant?
How does one check?
Att have not released any M updates.
Mine updated to 6.0.1 the same day I bought it . Several small updates happened first. 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 then a small one, and finally 6.0.1. Since I had just bought it, resetting was a simple thought. But so far, no problems, I bought a PowerBear to make it last longer. :fingers-crossed:
Mine had a lot of issues after being updated. MMS didn't work at all. SMS worked sporadically, but would sometimes delete whole threads. Couldn't get a signal in many spots. Google Play Services wouldn't run and couldn't be fixed. Tried a cache-wipe and every other non-destructive method, but nothing worked. Ended up having to factory-reset, and since then the phone works as it should, but none of the backup methods captured key settings. Basically all it did was save contacts and APK's. Lost my 2-factor keys and everything.
I am with you! Since the update to MM, phone has been very laggy/unresponsive. Lock screen lights up for no reason sporadically and I have LOTS of dropped calls/deadspots. VERY irritating! I wish this release would have been tested a bit more before it was OTA pushed out
Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-yea...-dirty-cow-can-root-every-version-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet.
Could someone make this Windows compatible? http://androiding.how/dirty-cow-root-android/

Hi guys. I need your help
I bought this phone a year ago. It works fine at first, but then I'm not sure since when, the phone keeps losing signal and says "No service".
Network is up again when I restart the phone, but if I leave it for a while, it loses the signal and nobody can call me.
Is there anyway to solve this problem?

which version are you using, if it is A10 i have to say that is a bug not solved by the lazy xiaomi's devs
Best solution is to change to custom rom or return to android pie or oreo

How do I know which version my phone is?
Anyway, it's the bugged version it seems, so I guess I'm gonna downgrade it. Do you know where can I download the rom?
I found this site (xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/daisy/) but it's Miui rom, not the android one version
