i had ICS 4.0.3 viola the "Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1" rom
i was rooted, unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM 5.0.5.4 Gapps, and then updated to the above rom
after using it a bit (and liking it) i realized ACER Support was sending OTA ICS upgrades to all the A100 Tabs and i wanted them too, so
i used the "downgrade hc 3.2" method and all looked fine until it rebooted
after it rebooted, it now does no longer go past the ACER logo screen with the usual msg in the upper left-hand corner indicating that the bootloader is unlocked, which says "Bootloader Version 0.03.06-ICS (UnLock Mode)"
and this is where it stays and the device just would overheat if i leave it alone (i know this because it was begining to get a little warm, so i knew it was not good to just leave it hoping for something good to happen)
Is there something i can do to save my beloved A100? please?
i have been up until dawn for over 2 days reading posts trying to find a solution to no such avail, but i still hope someone will read this who is able to help me, so i will keep checking even while i am exhausted, then i will be happy to help someone else and maybe someone else will already be helped by this post anyways ...
What have you tried to fix it?
Did you make a backup after you installed cwm?
What 3.2 rom did you flash to (link)? Through cwm?
Sorry for all the questions.

Hi Romman0
1st thank you for responding
1. no, but i'm about to try.
2. yes, but i think it was over written when i try the "Downgrade hc 3.2" method
3. the 3.2 rom i flash is "Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1" and i flashed it by renaming it to update.zip and putting it on my external_sd in my laptop and then putting it back in my A100 (which was shut down) and then hold down the volume-up key and also press and hold the power button until it vibrate and i see it going into recovery mode, then the android with the spining cyan ball install my update and my system begin to update and display messages in 9 different languages that say to do not turn off and do not press any buttons and just to wait and it will reboot, so it reboot, but it is stuck at the ACER Logo, so i scour for posts for help and i find how to do a hard reset, so i do the hard reset (i even watch the youtube video), but it is still stuck at the ACER Logo screen and in upper left corner it displays "Bootloader Version 0.03.06-ICS (UnLock Mode)" , so when i scour for more help i find APX so i been reading all about it and even if it is scarry im already bricked anyway so i might as well try it ... i think, but not sure
... i think i will 1st wait for your response Romman0 ... thanks again
The update shouldn't have overwritten your backup. If you used cwm to make a nandroid backup, you should be able to boot to cwm and apply the backup.
What happened when you did the factory reset?
To me it doesn't seem like you are bricked, I'm not completely versed in ADB, but there are some guys here that are amazing at working through these issues.

Since you have the cwm recovery installed download a rom from development forum ( I would recommend cm9 or flexrom ) as there is no chance they can damage your recovery. Get that rom into your sd card and boot into recovery by pressing power + vol down while booting. From there select flash zip from sd card and select the rom you just downloaded. flexrom is based on official ICS with some improvements so it may be better than official release.
Press the thanks button if I have been helpful.
It's Fixed ... and the fix might really help someone ...
First i want to thank everyone who replied to this thread trying to help me, including "inspiredbyHTC", cause i really really appreciated all the help
My problem was a typo, yep a TYPO! ... i just couldn't believe it! ... i been up all kindza hours tryin to figure this out! ... reading threads upon thread, and forums upon forums!

Well, first off, what's even wrong with yours?
Second, his fix was a typo. He spelled the file updated.zip not update.zip
as in, extra D at the end up update, before the .zip, easy to overlook, but makes all the difference in the world. Also a likely type is update.zip.zip as some PCs will add something there, or while renaming it you may type update.zip and it appends .zip to the file. Windows with it's default Hide File Extensions is usually the cause of this one.

Hello and thank you ahead of time for reading my thread. I spent a good deal of time searching for solutions in your forums but couldn't find anything related, so apologies if this is a repost.
I recently flashed my stock htc incredible with the leaked 2.2 ROM. While the flashing and installation of the new OS was successful, the phone itself is now acting really weird.
First, it is incredibly slow. There is a noticeable lag between the time I touch the screen and the time the touch actually registers. For example, to dial a number, I have to long press every button for it to register.
The second and much more annoying issue is the phone starts doing all sorts of things on its own. When sending a text message for example, all these keys are randomly pressed, it goes to the desktop, back to sending a text, inputs all these random characters, and sometimes frustratingly on occasion sends the text message on its own. This happens on and off and I haven't been able to figure out what triggers.
My question is, what can I do to fix it? I've reinstalled the ROM several times already and the problems appear every single time.
If I can't fix it, I'd love to go back to my previous stock rom and just wait for HTC's update.
Your help is greatly appreciated it.
Thanks.
have you cleared data and cache? do you have clockworkmod recovery install? please go through all the steps you went through to install the 2.2 leak
If ur rooted then u have clockworkmod installed...you should do a factory reset thru clockworkmod and wipe all data and cache ...
Then after that perhaps try a good and stable ROM ..
Wow thank you for such a prompt response.
I followed the steps in this thread:
[ROM]Leaked Stock 2.2 with Sense [LEAKED ROM - SOME BUGS!!]
(it's on the development front page, I would post a link but since I am a new member I am not allowed to).
In summary, I first updated to Radio version indicated in that thread (version 2).
I then ran unrevoked 3 which installed clockworkmod recovery. Then, I did a wipe. After, in the recovery screen I installed from the zip file of the mod that was in my SD card.
This is all I have done to date.

Okay...good to go.
You should boot into recovery aka clockworkmod...
Then do factoryreset wipe cache and data...
And I would recommend u install a ROM that u would like and u should be fine.
if ya like sense do skyraider....if ya like vanilla do CM6 test 8....and ya should be okay
If ya get stuck feel free to pm me and I can give u my Gtalk and can help furthur if ya need.

With an eyglass cleaninn cloth? That worked for me.
I first came across the problem while testing the rom i made, jdfroyo, so initially thought it was my rom. I wiped my hands (which were sweaty) and then thoroughly cleaned my phone off. I havent had issues since.

I have heard that cleaning screen with a certain product (don't remember if it was like soap or alcohol) is not recommended as it leaves an almost invisible layer and can send it to that whacko stage of doing weird stuff. Double check on that... Otherwise, I am with the others > Wipe data/cache > then do a ROM re-flash.

Hi,
Thanks all for your help. And thanks to acid for helping me out on gtalk.
After trying several different ROMs, my phone continues to be really laggy. For example, I can type an entire word in the keyboard before it appears on the screen, and usually only the first few letters register.
I think my screen is just malfunctioning and it happened to coincide with the day I flashed my phone so I am just going to do a warranty exchange.
Thanks again everyone!
Having a hell of a time getting my evo 4g to change to s on. I have successfully unrooted it but the s off remains there. I need to take it back to sprint for repairs.
I have tried several with the recent unrevoked 3. But my results are after flashing "waiting 5 seconds because windows hates" message and the other says waiting to reboot" (both freezes forever). Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks you.
Newsflash. I've never heard one story of Spring checking a bootloader to make sure a phone is S-On.
Flash A stock ROM and you;ll be good, although there have been posts that say Sprint will work on Rooted phones now.

You have to have a custom recovery to do that (Amon-RA or Clockwork). You need to reinstall Amon-Ra Recovery by putting this in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip": http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
Then flash this: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
After that just run an RUU from here: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/ruu
In case the RUU won't work from your computer, download one of the ZIP ones, put it in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip". That always works.
I am not sure what you mean by "Spring checking but I have flashed the stock rom PC36IMG.zip onto the root of the sd. My understanding that once your successful doing this you basically revert to the original rom. I have done that thanks to this site. But, I cannot for the life of me get the s on back on. Rooting my phone with three different custom roms were easier. Not all Spring stores like rooted phones. Id rather revert to original with the s on to be sure. product F thanks for the reply I will try that..perhaps I missed something. Thank You.

That plus the leaked document from the sprint employee forums that said that sprint supports rooted devices means we don't have to fret over s-on for service just make sure that your phone is running a sense rom when it is taken in otherwise they can't use the diagnostic commands from the dialer to fully support the device.

If you're using Clockwork, you have to disable Signature Verification.

Thanks for staying with me. Appreciate it.
Here is how I wasable to get to recovery to get to the root directory for choosing zip from sd.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 11: TRANSFER PC36IMG.zip TO SDCARD
Connect the MICRO USB Cord. There is an option for this in both the Amon RA and Clockwork recovery.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
It was the connection and discnnection of th usb cable. Everything was in green. Is that normal.
So, my next step was to flash the forever s on zip. The results were unsupported radio version. Update failed. The current version I have is 2.15.00.05.02. on the new update on my evo. I tried it first by removing the pc36img.zip nd then tried it with it on...same results.
So I found this radio version (EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_003), but I am not sure if this is what version is needed. Anyways, I apologize for this long everyone, but I am trying to provide as much info and hopefully I can minimize your time. Thanks alot.

The radio package you mention is the same radio you already have, so you'll want an older version. I'm not exactly sure of the version number, but I do know that is not the correct one.
Remember when you flash radios to not pull the battery. It'll flash, then upon rebooting it'll finish. You'll see a screen that you probably haven't seen before, it'll most likely be an arrow pointing down to a phone or an Android in a box... or something like that. Regardless of what you see after the flash, don't freak out and pull the battery - you'll end up bricking your phone. It's one of the few ways to guarantee a real brick, the phone will never turn on again. You may already know this, or it may be in whatever guide you're using, but it's good to know.
Anyway, I'll see if I can find the correct radio for you, and good luck!
Edit: I read somewhere that someone used this one to get s-on: http://www.mediafire.com/?v0ymbhaa0ltcvyy
However, you may need to do some trial and error. It should work, but here's a link to all of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
These are from Calkulin, so if they're PC36IMG files you'll be fine, but I'm pretty sure you flash them in recovery. Sorry, it's late & I'm lazy. Anyway, I think Calkulin still uses amend scripting, which will render them incompatible with ClockworkMod. You'll either need to switch to Amon Ra to flash them or find a different flashable zip. I think you'll only need to flash the radio, not all of them, but I could be wrong.

You don't need S-OFF to have sprint work on your phone for repair. My cousin just got an insurance replacement Evo 4g because he washed his phone with his clothes. He brought it over to me to be rooted and the phone he got was already S-OFF and that is an Insurance REFERB. also with the leaked forum of how Sprint will infact work on Rooted phones gives it away that you dont need S-OFF
Plainjane. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the zip from the first site you showed here and it ran well with the exception that it got stuck on formatting cache. So, I rebooted. s off still on. I will try the next one here in a few. Thanks everyone.

well. While I continue to try and solve this puzzle I will attempt to attach this link on how to flash a radio to evo. i take no credit.
well i am happy to say i have finally go the s on back on. I believe the problem was that i left the recovery supersonic ra image on the root directory of the sd. i deleted that and flashed the supersonic s on image and voila!!! Everythin crumbled under the rosario wrath and s on is on. Thats Boricua power. My next problem is flashing sense back on. Khilbron, I wasnt ignoring your post on sense, it was just I was trying to get the other things done. So can you please expand on the sense. Thanks to everyone who took out the time even you kipkat with your kind of unfriendly comments. Dueces.

i took my phone back to sprint and they replaced both speakers. now to root again.
Again. Want to thank everyone for their help.
hi guys,
I really need your help. My rom was freezing all the time, so I re-flashed it via recovery. Everything was smooth again, but I wanted to restore my data (as I didn't want to start over with my games). I had made a backup via recovery, so I selected the option 'restore data' in recovery and it got to work. When it was finished, i got an error saying something about a file being a read only file. So I wanted to go back to the main menu, but I couldn't. I had to take the battery out and try to reboot. I got the white screen with the green HTC, so I thought everything was okay. But it didn't boot any further than that. It just stayed there. So I took the battery out and rebooted into recovery again. This time I got a list of errors saying something like 'E:can't mount cache/....'. I googled the issue and found a fix for the problem, which would be to install the update via bootloader. I downgraded and rooted my phone using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261. The method uses an update which is 1.34, so I decided to try it. The update didn't work, and I'm stuck on the update screen. It says Fail-PU on the first 8 lines, [9]TP - OK, [10]TP- Bypasses, and than at [11]Radio_V2, it says '-Updating' and it just stays there. I've left it all night last night and it was still stuck there. I've tried taking out the battery, as I can't do anything and try the update again, but it didn't work.... Can someone please help me?
i dont know bout this too much but i would take out memory card...format it and put new update. while mem card is out go bootloader and factory reset. then put mem card back in and update.
I'm afraid you might have a hardware issue. It could be one of two things, either the emmc has gone bad. Or the partition table has been messed up. The second thing is fixable the first is not. I suggest heading over to the g2root irc channel so they can diagnose the problem and suggest a solution is one is available.

yeah turns out it''s the harware issue where the emmc chip goes bad or something... I''m going to send it back to HTC, because all the people i''ve read about on other threads got theirs replaced despite it being S-off and having CMW on it. I just hope HTC holland is that cool too...

I have a screen freezing after unlock or call problem for months, tried differnt things like changing ROMs, lockscreen apps but none of them worked, my screen was still unresponsive for a while after unlocking screen, then i saw senaia's post about TP Calibration and tried, the problem is gone so i wrote this tutorial to help the others.
I take no responsibility for any DAMAGES or BRICKED phone, do it at your own risk
WARNING: This will ERASE all of your data, applications, sd card, messages, contacts etc. so make backups of them.
Here is step by step guide
DONT FORGET TO BACKUP
1. Make a goldcard using tutorial in this thread
2. Unrar attached file to the root of Goldcard
3. Power off phone, boot to bootloader with volume down and power button pressed
4. Wait for while it will search for files
5. Then a screen will show up like
Power => Reflash
Vol-Dn => DIAG
6. Press Volume Down for Diag
7. You will see a screen asking you to put phone on a flat surface, do what it says
8. Once that is done you will see a menu about Clear S58 Data, Ignore it, pull the battery and reboot
9. Repair is done, problem should be solved now
This is my first tutorial for XDA, so any suggestions are welcome
Thanks to senaia, he showed how to do
IT works, finally!
I can confirm that the tutorial made by mstfkaratas is working.
Thank you, I cannot describe how much i appreciate it, my beer money is on it's way!
thanks for beer
nevermind
It seems like i got a bit too emotional on this, and my previous post was a little rushed.
The screen freezing gradually comes back in 24 hours. The waiting times become longer and longer. After i did the above steps the lag was gone, but unfortunately it comes back. Especially after i set up to sync with my google account. I also tries to make a new accont, but without success.
I had this issue but admittedly it had just about disappeared when I upgraded to 2.3.5, but still had the odd freeze when receiving a call but not as bad, I did this tutorial and have not had 1 freeze since, may I suggest your problem is hardware (digitizer) Ivaxona?
hi ivaxona your problem can be hardware related or an app you installed, i can suggest you install apps one by one and check the problem
i cant help you more than this because i am not an expert this solution helped more than 5 phones AFAIK

Hi, thanks for the response, i also thought that it may be a touchscreen problem, but it got me thinking, that how could be this possible, when after a short time it start to work absolutely perfect.
I also tried to create a new google account just for testing so the possibility of a 3rd party application causing the problem is eliminated.
I have to mention though that after i place the first call the performance response time degrades significantly. That's why i think that it could be a radio problem as well.
I have to admit that i just recently purchased this digitizer on ebay, and it looked like a second hand unit so i might jut got screwed up.
As a last try before i try to change the digitizer once again, i'll try to upgrade to 2.3.5 as it was suggested.
I'm still on a stock ROM, i suppose there is no 2.3.5 official ROM so i'll have too ROOT the phone, right?
once again thanks for your help!

this is 2.3.5 EU RUU from shipped roms thread, you can try this, if this doesnt work, there should be tutorials for how to install in this forum. i hope this helps
edit: here is a thread about upgrading 2.3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363693
Thank you very much, got my brothers device to work now
after i upgraded to 2.3.5 the fix is working! Thanks a lot!
Solved!!
Many many thanks!
Ciao.
Thanks brother
thanks brother..!!!
After many months of searching for solution, it is finally fixed.
It's a relief it's not a hardware issue. I am using custom 2.3.5 and it worked.
Thanks.
thanks brother, you saved my cel phone, I wonder which phones this works ???? I tried it with my wildfire s and is worked

Thanks for your how-to...
Sadly it didn't help for me, although I've successfully performed the DIAG boot on my S-OFF WFS. I'm running the latest version of alquez's Cyanogenmod 7.2.0-RC1-marvel-KANG (03-24).
I'm also not sure if I have the problem that is described in this thread.
Whenever I power on the phone and try the unlock-slide the first time, the slider jumps back after some pixels. Everytime, it's really nasty.
Maybe this is something else and I should start a new thead for it?
Thanks!! This really works!!! I had replaced the screen, but it only worked the left side. After applying your method, this little wilfire s works!!! My girlfriend will be very happy!!!
Thanks for the tut.
Sorry, i still have this proble in my phone, one question.
To do this tutorial, we must be S-OFF?
Thx
no need to be s-off, i have positive feedbacks with s-on devices

let me give you some background info. I have owned my (AT&T) glide for less than a month coming from a overclocked milestone with CM7. Almost everyday I turn my computer on I go to XDA and skim over the rooting guides and the custom roms available. And then I read the "Read Before Updating" thread that says ICS is coming and it puts me off again. Even though my phone is unlocked and outside of the US now, so I not 100% certain I'll get anything. Every day I also check for updates on my phone, force check and everything.
So my question to you guys is this: Shall I patiently continue to wait it out in the fruitless hope something may well happen in the next month or two or bite the bullet and loose the bloatware now? I'm sure its a question on the minds of many glide owners right now
I put CWM + Osimood on mine just to get rid of the US-Centric bloatware, and am liking the cleanness of it. As you're in the UK too one thing you might sway you is that Osimood is based on Rogers which allows you to switch off 4G to save battery.
Why wait? Once it's out, it's pretty good chance it will be available here (or samfirmware). If you waited, would you even be able to get the AT&T OTA update through your UK operator? I would think you'd have to be on the AT&T home network to get the OTA.
But then again, it would take Samsung forever to finally get the ICS out for the CG.

Agreed since you are not in the States and on the AT&T Network I would Root and install a clean Rom with no BLoatware. Then when we get the ICS you simply flash it.
Thanks for the replies guys
When I check for an update it does say it checks the AT&T server, whether its actually checking the AT&T server or its just a generic message and it actually checks my provider server who knows.
Think I'm going to bit the bullet and get it rooted today
Go for it! There's so much more you can do when you're rooted. I'll never go back.

Root and flash or only root? Might as well jump all in while your getting your feet wet!

More than likely both
Just rooted it now, (well halfway there) seemed pretty easy to do, at least easier than my last phone.
when you flash the rom over you you do it in PDA section too or another option?
Just gonna download super user, ti backup, and a few other root only apps, have a quick play then flash to something else

If you did Clock work mod the instructions are:
1. Launch odin (v1.82 tested)
2. Boot your phone in "Download mode"
3. Select PDA in odin and choose the file "CWMR_recovery.tar.md5"
4. ONLY "auto reboot" must be check !!
Then just put aradat's kernel via CWM and your rooted. That is what I started with. Now I just flash everything with CWM and no longer touch Odin.
Right all fully rooted up.
In CWM it asks what device and only gives the choice of epic 4g and i9000 I tried the later and attempted to back up my current Rom and got and explanation mark in a triangle and a droid on my screen. not much happened for a few mins so i pulled the battery and rebooted it.
Any idea which I should select?
Thanks for all the help BTW

Where does it ask you that? I did not get any prompts. I just went to flash from SD card and then chose the file I wanted to flash. Took a few minutes then the flash was complete and on reboot it took a little while in setting everything up and then I got the Google prompt for an account to use. Oh and if you say thanks feel free to use the thank you button.
Probably talking about the CW App on the Market (not supported, don't use it!)
Sorry for confusing you, not in recovery, in Rom manager.
Ive actually put mine down now and just spent the last few hours trying to root my girlfriend's HTC Sensation, which has been a bit more long winded.
Nice gl have fun!
