Reading Japanese on A500 wi-fi (AU) - Acer Iconia A500

Before update I way able to read 2chan but after upgrading via CWM with 3.1 ROM from this board I cannot see the Japanese anymore?
All I see is the small boxes representing the characters…?
If anyone know how to resolve this one greatly appreciate it!
By the way my A500 is AU model that was given to me as the birthday present...

[Question] About rooting

Hello, I have been using this site for a long time now but without registration. I am trying to root my mytouch but I have no clue which tutorial to use. There are a lot of tutorial I can't seem to find the right one. So my question is that can someone please give me a link to a tutorial of how to root my mytouch.
The problem that I had was that I couldn't find one with my firmware, etc.
I have a My Touch 3g (w/ 3.5mm head-phone jack). Firmware 1.6.
So can anyone please provide me a link of where I should go to root my My Touch? Thank you very much I will really appreciate it. Also if anyone can post which roms I can use with my version of my touch, that'll be great. Thanks again!
Turn off your phone and press "power+back" and type inn those numbers back on this thread, and we can see if we find anything.

[Q] Firmware Update

I saw a page about a firmware update at:
http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Wifi#Firmware
I have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can answer. (I did search this forum and the developer one. Didn't find what I was looking for.)
Have there been any reported issues with the new firmware?
Does this actually upgrade the firmware on the phone (permanent, run just once), or just run a virtual firmware layer (update every build with it)?
Is there a change log showing what's been updated with the new firmware?
Who put out the new firmware? Was it HTC or a third-party developer?
Is there a file to revert back to original (if it is a permanent change)?
What's the deal with the free software firmware over at OpenFWWF? It's directly under the GNU section, but the outline columns make it seem like it's part of it.
Thanks for any help you can give in the matter.
Edit: Oh, and it's for HD2s, right? The Europe or American version?
This is all just observation take it for whatever its worth.
I Havent tried it as I use a modified kernal.
I am no dev but I dont think its permenant as Its for the android builds. I do believe that onces its included you wont have to keep adding it to every build.
Cant tell If it was from htc looks like its originally from broadcom themselves.
I found this http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/wlan/broadcom.git;a=summary
I think that maybe the base for the driver over all.
Hopefully some can shed some better light on the subject as you have great questions.
I am looking to see if i can find anymore info.
Anyone have any information on this?

Flashing from Chinese to Hong Kong - Backup

Hi,
I am new to android - coming from many years on iPhones. (Jailbreaking)
I just got a 7.7 (From the Taobao Samsung shop here in China, they had a trail version program where 300 people can pay a deposit and then use the tablet for 30 days and return it)
I want to know if the Chinese version is also able to flash to the Hong Kong version as this Chinese version is really a mess - no android market, no google access and a lot of stock Chinese software. (and I think a few monitoring things a well???)
Anyway - I have read most of the post on the 7.7 and it seems that there are some people who have had a hard time flashing the Chinese version? (It also seems to me like they might just have run into some problems)
As far as I understand, coming from a jailbreaking and server admin background, this should be really basic and should be easy to do?? One should be able to flash any countries firmware onto any 7.7 tablet?
I would also like to know if there are any programs one could use to backup your ROM and PIT and what ever is needed to be able to restore back easily if something should go wrong.
So I have read about Titanium Backup - would this work and where can I find a good guide?
Please let me know and I appreciate the help!
PS...I have the 16GB 3G version
I would be very careful about using a device made for the Chinese market. You might want to use your device for 30 days, then if you like it get a Hong Kong version. At least then you will know your device can be safely modified, and not subject to the same communication controls.
Need help, PM me. No worry. Get TITANIUM BACKUP. ROOT IT. FLASH CWM. BACKUP....and READ the forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22775462#post22775462
Here's stock ROM in case you F%ck up -- you will, save the tears, get the file NOW and learn how to use ODIN!
http://115.com/file/an40wd58#P6800ZCKL4.exe
(ps. check this is right ROM, should be, 'about' in settings...)
@rmm200
This is what I have been planning and I think I will stick with it - if I really like it and get one I can even order it before I send back the trail one.
I was now also able to install a "Chinese" android market and have been able to find most of the apps there that I want to test - so this is working fine - now to get a VPN working - I always us OpenVPN but I believe I will need to root before that works.
@jabbermacy
As for the Flasing - I would still like some advice on how to backup the device with Titanium for future use.
What do you mean with FLASH CWM?
Would I not be able to backup my device before I do a flash or root?
PS - I have read the forums and it is still not clear about this - some people say you can some say you cant...I am just asking as I think I might get some better answers by asking some more knowledgeable people.
Thanks
i got my 7.7 from Taobao shop like you.
Chinese version is such a terrible thing...

Motoactv US version in Europe

Hi all!
I had the chance to buy via Amazon US the Motoactv at a more reasonable price (180$ vs202€ in Italy!!!).
Well now i think I have kinda di problem of geographic limitations for update the device and, Furthermore, it's only English and no optionfor italian (not a big issue actually but I'd prefer it). So i was thinking at rooting the watch in order to install European version or even one of the cooked rom for this little jewel. Question is: is it possible to root without having updated the device to the very last firmware release? Im now with 1.7.8 and I know there's out the 1.7.12.
Any answer really appreciated.
Thx
Andrea

It's best to update, as it updates the bootloader as well, but I don't think it's required.

Can't find a stock firmware for my Tab-A I do not need a custom one, the stock bloatwware is Ok.

I found a file online but it says it's for Canada. I found no USA ones at all. Can I use the Canadian one or can someone point me to the USA version? Fwiw the file I found is: SM-T580_T580UEU4CSC1_T580XAC4CSC1_XAC_Canada_8.1.0_4File_(by_firmwarefile.com)
I am not so naive to not understand that the name on the file could be purposely MIS-named to cause havoc. I found nothing on the Sammoblie site or at Samsung itself. This was the best I could do.
I am only thinking of flashing it because the tablet won't allow me to add a second user... the original PW was 17 characters but after the 16th one it won't let me type the last digit in. I don't think this is an FRP thing, but ti's annoying at the very least.
The tablet was purchased new in 2016 I believe, it runs Android 8.1.0 If I omitted pertinent details please advise.
Thanks to all who reply

The ROM for Cellular South is the one for the U.S. Try using Frija.exe with XAR as the region code to get the latest stock ROM.
hi lewmur,
Thanks for the location of the stock ROM, I'd have never found that. Additionally another forum member offered to help me, I appreciate that too.
sadly today I have a lot of physical pain and can't be in front of the monitor too long. Today isn't a good one. I can't even find the way back to my OP... I know it's there somewhere, it's just a matter of me finding it again.
When I feel better I will search for a Tab A forum to thank the other gentleman who replied very quickly as you did.
Best regards to you both and I will let you know how I get on with it.
J T
