S=off 1.49.2 Hboot in update.zip format

Link removed until i can test again sorry...
Disclaimer: While tested, and working on ECLIPS3's test device, this is a risky flash. Flashing this is at your own risk. If data or property loss occurs, its you fault, not mine.
The s-off spl allows you to use fastboot, and can make recovery of a "softbricked" device much easier.
Flash this like any other flashable file through recovery.

Nice way better than doing a battery pull when flashing the original root zip.

The battery pull method won't even work on phones with a newer mainversion, so yeah way better.

I had the same issue. The file you downloaded is corrupted. Try downloading again. If it still persists, maybe the upload got corrupted and jcase should try posting it again.

I re-downloaded it twice - same error. Just to be clear, we just flash it like we would any ROM, right?

I tried all of the downloads and they all gave me the same error as seen above.

If you try to open the zip with Winzip or something, it'll error out saying the file is corrupted. I suspect the upload didn't complete successfully.

so in theory when this does work it will flash the eng. rooted 2.1 or just the bootloader? im not trying to go through everything again but if it only replaces the bootloader then im game. Other wise im just waiting till i get my replacement tomorrow.

[Q] [A200] I think I'm bricked.

This is coming from my thread on the AcerTabletForums, as I'm not receiving any help over there now.
OP: I just got this tablet on Tuesday, and I installed CWM today (I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it yesterday). I started wiping data 34 minutes and 15 seconds ago, and it hasn't finished. In fact, the progress bar isn't moving at all. I don't want to mess anything up, so what do I do?
Update 1: I ended up just turning it off, then using fastboot to flash the stock recovery.
Once that happened, then it appeared to start working, then displayed the Android character on his back, with a red triangle and containing an exclamation mark. <-- was told that was normal.
Update 2: Seems to freezing with that when I choose Factory Reset. Should I do something else first?
Actually, it is moving.. just slowly. <-- switched to using TWRP 2.1.4 recovery.
Update 3: Been running for a loooong time (1 hour and 50 minutes), and although the bar keeps moving, I can't tell if it's anywhere near done.
Update 4: Let it run for 8 hours, nothing happened. I think I found out the problem though. I looked in the console when TWRP starts, and this comes up:
Code:
E:Unable to mount /data
E:Unable to mount /sdcard
How can I fix it?

u unlocked the bl and rooted...which rom??
the dead android is the stock recovery.
to full wipe data, fastboot erase userdata
not sure why the error, something not right....someone more knowledgeable than me will know tho'.

Unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, no custom rom.
Fastboot erase userdata throws an error at me.
Update 5: I am no longer receiving an Unable to mount /sdcard error, still getting the /data error though.

Does the patched bootloader work? I assume so, since I was booting fine until I wanted to do a factory reset, and now I can't boot into my OS (4.0.3).
I am using the following patch (It's the one that's highlighted):

It makes sense, however I can't find a full stock or modded ROM. If you could find a link I'd be very grateful.
Just wondering, there seems to be a system partition. Should I clear that too?

Sorry for the multiple posts.. New update!
After modifying the updater-script to bypass certain things, I managed to flash enough of the ROM to re-lock the bootloader, and hence un-root the device. Looks like I'll likely be sending it in to Acer for repairs, unless anyone has some other suggestion.

I had a quick look - all the roms i found are from vache and he and his server are no longer around...I did read however that the WW rom wont work on US tabs, you need a specific US rom, you may wnat to start a new thread asking if anyone has a copy
Dont erase your system partition!!! It holds your OS and if you delete that you're in deep doo doo!!! Especially if you cant find a stock rom for it....
As I said before, I dont know alot about the a200 but you might wanna post on blackthund3rs stock rom thread and see if someone has a stock a200 rom over there
EDIT: there are stock roms over at the acertabletforum, see user "obsidian" posts and threads, seems all you want to know is over there

Thanks for your help, but I fixed it. Well, sort of. I basically still have the boot issue, but was able to get rid of any "marks" (relocked the bootloader and un-rooted), so I'm either going to be giving it to Future Shop or Acer, since it's still under warranty.

[Q] U8800-51 crashing apps; can't factory reset

A few months back I rooted my girlfriend's Impulse 4G and installed a custom ROM. I don't know the exact ROM but at the very least the boot screen says "Kalo 'Perfection'". EDIT: I believe it was this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553705
Anyway, a few days ago apps started to crash randomly on her phone. When I reboot the phone, apps begin to crash after a minute or two of use and continue to crash more frequently until it's unusable.
I've tried: factory resetting it, uninstalling apps with adb, installing titanium backup pro with adb and uninstalling apps, clearing cache from recovery, factory resetting from recovery, restoring a backup with roadkil's, flashing a new rom, flashing a new recovery, updating to stock with the dload folder on my sdcard, and ...
no matter what I do, when I reboot the phone it always returns to the same state, unchanged.
And, long-time lurker here who registered to beg for help, of course. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you able to provide logcat?

I turned on the phone and let it boot for a minute, then ran logcat. Never used it before, so let me know if you need something more specific.
h t t p : / / pastebin.com/eMTJmvLZ
EDIT:
And, if it helps, when I try a factory reset from recovery I get "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2". I'm using CWMR Touch v6.0.1.0.

There is no such block as /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 in the phone. But I guess your phone is different to the normal one.
The only thing I can think is that you have probably flashed the wrong android for your phone. What Custom ROM did you flash? Can you give me a link to both the recovery and the ROM (link for where you downloaded them from).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553705 I believe this was the ROM. I can't find the recovery at the moment but it's CWMR touch v6.0.1.0. Based on the instructions given with the ROM I'm using the wrong recovery

I am not familiar with your phone, but this might help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889305
Meanwhile, I will try to get someone who is familiar.

Unfortunately I've tried everything I can from that thread, I think. Whenever I replace the recovery.img it doesn't stick when I reboot. Same for the roadkil's image. I tried to recover the image I made before I rooted the phone but it never sticks.

I think your partitions for data and cache is incorrect or missing.
What pink screen are you trying to restore(2.2,2.3,4.0,4.1,4.2?)

You should post this on the Google Rom forum. But as for the problem, you might have just gotten a bad download. Try to re download it.

U8800 Official 2.3 Gingerbread Downgrade Issue

Hi Guys
I installed the official Gingerbread that is available from the Huawei site. Install was successful however phone boots fine for the first time but once i reboot it I am stuck in boot loop on Huawei logo. Recovery is reset to default so cannot flash anything that way.
I cannot root the phone via SuperOneClick as it needs logging switched on (Requires reboot).
When I access pink screen no drive is mounted in windows.
How can i remedy this problem?

Hi, try to wipe data and cache in recovery.
