Develop Bugs

[Q] want official ics, currently on the leak..

Is there any difference?
I've been running the leak since it was released and now see that the official update is out.
How do I go about upgrading?
I've seen no bugs with the leak.

014 in the development section is the official stock rom...not sure if you tried any games on the leak but the touch screen issues is one of the biggest flaws. Some apps that didn't function well on the leak seem to work now as well. Upgrading would be the same as how you did with the leak...place the update.zip on the root of the sdcard and hold up volume button + power upon starting up the tablet and you should be good...if you already have the bootloader unlocked and already installed a new recovery (cwm or teamwin) then just put the zip on your sdcard...load up recovery and install (wipe everything as usual of course)

+1 for the .014 in the dev section.
It is one of the official ICS updates. I have personally seen one tab get updated to the same build OTA.

BTW...if you have unlocked your bootloader and install the stock ics (014) then it will relock your bootloader....the process to get back to being unlocked will be the same as before which is good..

Downloaded from two different sources and tried to flash with the official recovery.
It starts but then goes to the android with the red exclamation point..
I'm on gen 1 device.
Why does this keep happening?

What steps are you doing? Make sure the update.zip is in fact named just that: update.zip, and make sure it is on the external_sd. A nice cleanly formatted microSD card is a good idea.

The normal steps. Rename the file to update.zip and boot into stock recovery.

I had a similar issue. Turned out my tablet wasn't charged up enough. Gave it a full charge and it updated fine.

Got it to update.
Figured out I wasn't putting it on mnt/external sd or whatever.
Who would of known there were so many different little levels on tablet with its own set of folders.
If it wasn't for es file explorer or whatever it's called and it's favorite button I would of never seen it and known what I was doing wrong.
So I am now up to date and the touch screen is amazing, and spot on.
I was wondering why I would try to copy text and it would never select or if it did select it would select text on a entire different area of the screen.
My gf manages her Vista print website front the tablet and always complained of never being able to hit the right buttons or it would select a entire different area of the Web Page editor.
We never put 2 and 2 together that it was a touch screen issue.
Because I never seen another bug and thought the release was pretty stable and efficient.

Went back to go fwd and got nothing
ok so i have figured out how to go back and re-install HC 3.2. i took a pic of that version. then i got the update. another pic of version .then i ended up at 3.2.1 and then nothing. system update always says your system is up to date. i tried registering because the tablet asked for it. i did it. (it told me i was previously registered.) anyways, my girlfriends daughter has an a100 and it updated naturally and here is a pic of her version on her tablet. no one has mentioned this version anywhere that i have found. anyone heard or seen this version? is there something i need to do to get the update juices flowing? i been checking every 5 or 10 minutes with no luck....

Sudden Boot Loops - I'm Lost

I've been using my Galaxy Nexus for a month or so, with the official JB ROM (JR30C or whatever, deodexed and rooted) and today I opened Gmail.
That's it. I opened GMail, switched accounts, and my phone has been bootlooping ever since.
I wiped everything in CWM multiple times and reflashed it, and I can't get the phone to do anything else.
Any clues?

Do you have a working nandroid? Have you tried flashing a different ROM?

I do not have a working NANDROID. I wasn't sure about the Internet policies at work, but it looks like I can at least make it on here, I'm not sure I'll be able to download another ROM.
I'm confused though, I mean I know it would help to try as many options as possible (to fix it) - but this ROM has been working for weeks. And the phone died randomly, not due to a recent file change or a botched program. The only boot loops I've experienced before were on the Nexus One, and it was always due to a buggy/bad flash or a corrupted ROM download - this one just developed epilepsy on its own...

Here's my plan, since these are the only things I can manage to download due to restrictions on Internet usage at work.

is your (sd)storage recognized? thus is a similar symptom to when the stirage goes bad.

Hook the phone up to adb, boot it, and let logcat run. Maybe that will turn something up.

Hmm, you know, I'm not able to find the option to mount to USB in CWM...and just in case I forgot where that is, when I plug it in, I get the "hardware failed" noise from Windows and not the usual friendly "plug in" sound.

I'm at work, and I only have my work computer. Group/secpolicy won't allow me to install anything, no admin rights, etc.
Would it even do anything? The phone barely makes it through one second of the boot animation before it loops.

Got more than one additional ROM on there via adb/recovery - my clue that CWM hasn't actually been able to do anything since the phone start looping is I'm still getting my custom boot animation.
I'm using the toolkit to reflash a stock image now. What a mess.
Even reflashing a stock image via fastboot did nothing. WTF happened to my phone? Won't stay on long enough to get a logcat

I'm having the same problem as this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827685&page=2
I just got finished trying to flash 4.1.1 using ODIN. It still shows me the custom animation from bigxie's ROM (which has supposedly since been overwritten 2-4x times).
Screw you Samsung...this phone is a month old, I flashed -once- to rooted Jelly Bean, and the phone dies when I open the GMail app.
EDIT: WTF - I write screw you Samsung, it boots to the Welcome screen! Just long enough for me to see that my files aren't on it anymore, then it bootloops again. And again. Now it's re-stuck in a bootloop.
And now I'm at the homescreen. I can't rely on this thing like this...is my flash dying or something?

Nobody?
It worked long enough for me to re-enter all of my different Google account information and now it's dead again. Now it only flashes the boot animation for a split second for bootlooping.

I'm thinking of a hardware defect.

Mee too. As you can see from my signature, I gave up and bought a One S yesterday night from Craigslist. Feels like a true successor to the Desire / N1. It's nice to finally have an AMOLED screen that actually seems color calibrated after the ugly mess that was my RAZR and my less than perfect GNex. It's a damn shame how much more painless flashing a recovery was on this thing.

[Q] How do you factory reset this thing?!?!

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but it's so annoying. I don't know why this device can't be factory reset from the actual recovery like EVERY other Android ever made. I have tried multiple instructions, including the instructions on the actuall Acer website, but to no avail. I either get a message saying something about starting bootloader protocol or a message saying "Erasing SD Cache" and something about an update and then the recovery pops up. I can't get it to say "Erasing user data."
Is there an easier way? Is loading a new stock ROM easier than trying to factory reset this thing? I bought this device from someone and there is a pass code on it. I can no longer get a hold of this person to get the lock code. I just want to get it back to factory settings, but this is the worst device I've ever dealt with!

Remove the external SD card then power on holding volume + then toggle the lock switch when the screen turns on. Basically follow the directions after removing the SD card and trying again.
The device is quite simple to use and setup if you do some reading on it.

I tried this same method I don't know how many times this morning. The only thing i got was stock recovery, a message saying something about bootloader protocol or a message saying "Erasing SD cache" but then it shows an error in recovery, saying it was not found or something. Also, there has never been an SD card in my device to start with.
I have done all the reading there is to do. I think I just have something wrong with this specific device.

Tried the other volume? Plenty of people complained it isn't working and they used the wrong volume key.
Or restock and start over, should clear it up lol might be easier if recovery is being a ***** to begin with.

Yeah I would suggest doing the restock recovery and ICS method then, sounds like it was reverted to stock and didn't work out, following that thread should get it reset and up again .

No Mobile Data After Flashing Rom

Hey there, this is my first post here so go easy on me.
I was fortunate enough to unlock my HTC One through the HTCDev site and didn't do anything really exciting with the phone for a few days. However, last night I flashed newtoroot's GPE rom and have been unable to send or receive phone calls or messages on my device.
According to newtoroot, when the phone begins setup and tries to activate on the network you should try to avoid that step by pressing back. However, pressing back or home buttons wouldn't let me escape that process and it just continued all the way through. I suspect this is where the issues started. Anyway, after it finally finished searching for the network, it said it failed to activate.
I tried wiping my data/cache/dalvik and flashing the stock rom, and newt's other Sense based rom, but neither have helped. I thought I had made a backup, but apparently I didn't.
Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem!

Try taking the sim card out and putting it back in and reset the phone. That worked for me one time with my DNA.

Follow the stuff they did in the CM10.2 thread to get calls/data working on that. It involved flashing the stock recovery and some other stuff, idk but it worked so it can't hurt to try.

Something similar happened to me. I had to go into Settings -> Mobile Data, and change Preferred Network from Global to LTE / CDMA mode. I'm not sure why it picked Global as the default.

I'm looking through that thread and can't find the HBOOT method to fix this problem, I believe I am going through the same thing. If someone could help or post their method I would be eternally greatful. Also the link for the vzw stock recovery is giving me a 500 error internal server error so if someone could post that I'd be very appreciative.

[Q] Bricked with out custon rom??

So I think my phone is hard bricked. I was on G+ ealier today, clicked on a link that opened Chrome. got through a third of the web page and my phone freezes then the screen goes black... I have tried every troubleshoot trick provided by tmobile and samsung and the phone wont respond in any way. Just a black screen. Is it possible to brick your phone with out trying to flash a custom ROM??? The only thing new I have done in the past week was install "graph ti89" and "aviate." I dont know if this has anything to do with it but tmobile has being try to get me to install the kitkat OTA for the last week and I keep ignoring it.

Thanks for your input but the phone won't turn on at all. Can'T turn it on to update. Won't go into safe mode by pressing vol. up&home&power. When I plug it into the computer it says it needs drivers for "QHSUSB_BULK." Kies doesn't see it as a connected device...

You need a 32 GB sd card and some luck. Also reading is a requirement.
Yours may be a special case though, as you claim nothing was going on besides you clicked a link. Should have absolutely nothing to do with ota, and everyone else who had done this was messing with their phone. This definitely works for 4.3, but no one had reported working on 4.4 (you were on 4.3 anyways). Good luck.

Got it! So, to be clear;
1st - Format class 10 card to Exfat file system or structure
2nd - Using Win32Diskmapper, just point to the file (in my case kk900tunbrick image) and write to card. *Nothing special, should I verify Md5 sum, or just leave it as default settings?
3rd, Proceed to attempt to Unbrick (Battery at 100%, Put Sd card in slot, Then Add Battery, Connect cable - some say, some say doesn't matter, to computer, then attempt to boot with button sequence to download mode, or may boot by itself?)
Also, if the 1st image I downloaded does not work, can I reformat or wipe the sd card and start again with the other file (I believe a Pit file??)
