Acer a500 wont unroot? - Acer Iconia A500

Can someone point me in the direction to get my tab unrooted.
Ive tried to unroot but it says wait 5 secs then tells me its not unrooted
I also turned it off and tried it again same thing.
I did have my tab rooted on a diff rom now im back on stock with it still rooted idk if that could mean somethiing well just let me know
Please and Thanks
If you have a smarta$$ remark save it for someone else....

Have you confirmed it is actually still rooted? Using root checker in the market or otherwise?

Yes it is, I still have su in my files and in my apps list, i also used root checker.

Why do you post this in 2 subforums?

Did you managed to get it unrooted?

if you can't get it unrooted through apps, one sure way is to flash a non-rooted stock rom... of course the big question is... why are you trying to unroot?

Hi AZDR1V3R,
I had the same problem, which is now solved.
Try the following sequence (worked for me; I have an Iconia with HC3.1 Stock ROM A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7):
0) Switch off your device completely and switch it on again (fresh restart)
1) Rotate your tab in the protrait display orientation
2) Switch on the fix switch for the orientation
3) Root your device using Iconia Root (wait until the 5s delay has been finished and the success message has been displayed)
4) Unroot your device using Iconia Root; now the message of a successful unroot appears after the 5s delay.
The essential difference to my previous unsuccessful attemps to unroot is the usage of the orientation lock switch.
Regards
Luis

Unfortunately these steps don't work for me. Anyone else with a sublime solution?

You have to activate Application --> Decomment --> USB debugging

If all else fails, when you get your next Honeycomb update it will do away with root for you, with no way to get it back, at least for now. Patience.

Accelerometer not working

Hi all, I was wondering if you could help with an annoying issue I'm having.
I made a big mistake by updating to an ICS Rom, it worked fine apart from the accelerometer which stopped 100%. I did a backup, but system crashed and that's the end of that backup
1: I've since downgraded to Honey Comb Acer_A500_7.14.14_COM_GEN1, but Accelerometer still won't work, I don't know why, is there some fix or file to replace or anything like that.
2: Second question, because I updated to ICS the boot loader got updated also, is there a way to revert the boot loader back to the original so the end product would be a 100% original
This is a 16GB UK version of the A500, so any help would really be grateful. Even if I can get both the boot loader and OS to original I can then send it off to Acer for repair.
Kindest Regards to all

Man, I don't have an Acer iconia, but I have a Samsung galaxy player 5.0 and I just experienced the same issue after trying an ICS ROM.
When I searched for a way to solve my problem, I've seen many many users (increasingly, indeed) with the same kind of problem. It's hard to think that so many users are having accelerometer hardware fail. I believe it's not physical problem, mostly because this kind of issue happens after ppl try modding their phones/tabs or changing roms. I've seen some users talking about removing a sensorfile yamaha.cfg and trying to reboot the device. That didn't solve my problem, or executing:
"sensorcalibutil_yamaha"
It is under /system/bin/, you can see that with root explore.
Unfortunately, didn't work for me. Hope it works for you.
Best regards.
Thanks for your reply, I found a way of down grading the bootloader and OS to 3.0.2 which fixed it, then updated the odds to the latest and back working 100%.
Hello, same issue for me, accelerometer doesn't work anymore! I had yesterday the official ICS fota. Is there a patch somewhere for this problem?
after official Acer ICS update - Accelerometer quit?
My A500 pad just quit doing auto-rotate just about 30 mins after I applied the "official" ICS update to my device. I haven't done anything different, I did lock the pad into portrait to read some stuff, but unlocked it (manual switch) and it was fine then all of a sudden - it stopped rotating between portrait and landscape. The switch now has no effect on it. Of course there's not a setting to change the rotation either. Argh? I was so excited to get ICS - not this goofs on me? I see quite a lot of posts about people who experience this from hacking around on their tablet or phone - I haven't hacked on this one at all - its the "official" stuff... Reset didn't help.

I need to do the exact same thing. Could you please let me know what you did to start all over and get all the OTAs?
Thanks!
One could conjecture that if the accelerometer is stuffed, so would the orientation detection be.
Cause and effect?

Same here but a reboot cured it.
anyone find a fix for this ? im on the official with no root ics update and mine has also stopped auto rotating.
What did you use to do the downgrade back to 3.0.2?

The only solution I found so far is keepin rebooting, eventually at some point accelerometer starts to work.

If any off you had a leak and altered boot loader prior to install, it may have caused that. You should have had a 2 step optimizing process in the update, when I tested it on a leaked/flashed back version the bootloader was wrogn and that issue resulted. The stock had no issue and went through the full hardware optimizing process.
Also you shoudl have applied the market place update first, it has a pre fix to prepare it for patching.
Hey guys, i also have the same issue with accelerometer. I downgraded the a500 to Honeycomb and it fixed now.
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012

the guides to rollback posted above can be used on an official pad , with no hack or root stuffs ?
No, it rolls you back to rooted 3.2.1. with stock bootloader. Once ur back, you can load your official 3.2 rom on an SD, use Pwr + Volume down to update to it. Then OTA to ICS.
Just saw a guy posted a system of methods to completely wipe all the system files (not just most) and clean install ICS which supposedly fixes the accelerometer problem.
Accelerometer / ICS
I sent my tab back to Acer for repair, they say they replaced the "motherboard" and it did work fine on stock ICS as returned for a while. Periodically it would stick in orientation and not auto-rotate, but a power cycle with a few minutes in between seemed to always bring it back ok. NOW - nothing I do brings it back - its working the very same way it was when it originally experienced this issue. I don't want to send this slab back to Acer every couple of months and deal with setting it back up when they ship it to me a week or so later. This is rediculous or am I just being picky?
Anyhow - How bout a reference or link for the info on downgrading, wiping ICS and re-installing from scratch as mentioned above? That would be helpful if I knew where to look.
UPDATE: This morning, based on another post about finding errors in the bootlog, I downloaded the bootlog capture app, ran it, and poof - the auto-rotate function came back to life - like magic. I'm sure it was NOT the app, but rather the fact that I had powered down the unit and let it sit all night long without touching it or powering it on/off, etc. so at least for now, I won't be sending it back to Acer for Warranty repair (AGAIN). BUT I might be listing it rather quickly on ebay and shopping for another tab that doesn't have this issue....
I have had this issue and normally a power cycle fixes it. I did have one time where it did not but I found an article that said to do a hard reset. You do this with a paper clip pushed into the very small hole. I did not lose any data.

[Q] ICS Screen Autorotate not working

The Official OTA 4.0.3 ICS update broke auto rotation. The rest of the thing is running smooth as butter, but no auto rotation and the switch isn't doing anything.
Anyone know of a fix to this? I had this prob with the leak but after rooting and reinstall leak from scratch it cured itself. This one isn't doing that.
Is there an app to set the orientation of the screen manually that i can use in the interim??
------------------------------------------
400+ Views later, i think quite a few people have this issue and are trying to find a solution to this.
So far, thank you networkdawg for your app suggestion for manually rotating the screen, however that is a paid for app with a few too many options for my need. I'm currently using Mantano Reader Free to rotate my screen.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
------------------------------------------
Before i accidentally upgraded to the ICS leak, i had my old HC bootloader and was running Lightspeed flawlessly.
Does anyone know of a way to downgrade the bootloader back to HC so i can run a custom bootloader?
OR
a custom bootloader for ICS?
------------------------------------------
Ok so in the end i used jazzyjames' tutorial and blasted HC + HC Bootloader back onto my tab (accelerometer now working once more), rooted, ran Acer Recovery Installer and loaded Light Speed ICS once more.
Everything is working swimmingly. No issues and i got ICS running like a champ.
When the hardworking devs in the dev section have streamlined the ICS bootloader unlocker and installing of a custom recovery a little further, i may try the ICS bootloader once more. But for now, to just have a functional tab, im sticking with the old stuff a little longer.
Thanks Civato, Blackthund3r and jazzyjames for their excellent tools and tutorials. I could not have done it without their help.
------------------------------------------
Update May 08 2012
Did something new, reverted back to stock 3.2.1 (the Gen 2 that was used in Jazzy's revert tutorial), did an OTA upgrade to ICS Official. On first run everything worked.
The minute i rebooted, the accelerometer stopped working.
Followed Civato's tutorial down to the letter, got the custom ICS bootloader working with recovery. Ran like a charm.
Installed a custom ROM (Lightspeed), accelerometer was still not working.
MY TAKEAWAY ---- The accelerometer issues is not a problem with ICS itself, but related to the new chipset firmware and bootloader included with the ICS update. I could be wrong here.
Anyone have any other insights into this?
Back to HC bootloader once more (accelerometer working again) no dice with ICS bootloader :S
I'm not aware of any apps that will switch orientations, only lock it.
Have you tried switching the lock to off then rebooting to see if that resets it?
I have noticed the orientation check isn't as sensitive as it used to be so sometimes I have to wait a few extra seconds or orient the tablet a little more [than usual] to get it to switch over. But it does work.
I have the rotation problem also. As a workaround, I installed this and it works great, although manually.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
veer01_42 I'd be interested in your review of that app if you use it and/or pay for it.
I have the same issue. I have a couple apps that are orientation locked and I can use them to rotate but it's very annoying. Hope this gets fixed soon
anyone try a factory reset to see if that fixed it
A factory reset fixed it for me
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Been factory resetting this thing all night, no beans at all.
With the 4.0.3 leak, after one reset it worked for me, but i never got it to repeat again. So don't go factory resetting your tab in a hurry if you know whats good for you, especially if your rotation is working.
Good app, lots of options, but for what i want, this app is too much and it puts an icon next to the clock for quick access, but you cant preset the orientations there. There are only three, locked, auto and whatever you have it in now.
To get to the other options, tap the notification and it brings up a menu with all the other orientations (over 10 of them) its too much for me. But its an extremely powerful app.
Not worth the money as a workaround to a stupid accelerometer.
Encountered the same issue. I was in Portrait mode, playing Draw Something, and suddenly it just rebooted and went into Landscape mode. After a factory reset, it is not fixed. Not sure where to go, but this is highly disappointing for a tablet I paid close to $500 for...
Try wipe cache, it works for me. All said methods in the forum doesn't work for my tablet though.

Do you mean Pwr Button + Volume Up while toggling screen lock switch?
Or is it something else?
On some a500 that were rooted and accepted the ics ota, a few things got broken during the upgrade. Flash a stock rooted ice rom, but before you do go into recovery and and select backup an restore,click on toggle backup of internal storage. Then you should see enabled on the screen. Then do full reset in mounts and storage plus your normal wipe. This will fully format everything on your tab but sd . When you reflash the new ics rom everything should work fine.

More pieces to the puzzle.
I just downloaded and installed Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 (very close to stock OTA, but rooted) from XDA and applied it over the stock OTA I had received from Acer directly, Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1.
Under Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 screen rotation (and the error 26's) would not clear. I could not get the rotation to work at all, even with multiple reboots, and hard (pinhole) resets.
I restored to Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1 and rotation is back to it's unstable self, but at least a pinhole reset will clear it.

[Q] Problems after official ICS update- need help on rooting and else

Hi everybody, first of all sorry for my english.
I bought an A500 on ebay a couple of weeks ago, OS was 3.2 factory, I was thinking about trying to gain root permissions and maybe install a custom rom but tablet seems to work ok and I decided to wait for official ICS release, which arrived yesterday.
After the upgrade I noticed, as others did, strange behavior of wifi connection (strong to leak) and I cannot add any widget on home screen (keeping tapped shows only choices for changing theme).
At this point I guess it would be wise to try and install a custom rom, but I’m not confident and I really need help from the start.
I understood I need root permissions, but to gain them I have to downgrade.
Can anybody please tell me what to do, using dumb-proof terms ?
Many many thanks in advance.
update: i tried to downgrade to android 3, i think i bricked it ...
after the update i get a red error "Boot verified failed" .....
Probably wont help much now that you've bricked it, but to add a widget you need to be in the app menu and switch to the widget tab. And you should try looking at the wifi settings for default action when sleeping. For some reason, mine changed to always disconnect from wifi after turning off.
many thanks for your answer

[Q&A] Fixes and Questions

I have created this thread to clean up the forums a bit and to fix one confusion that most people in the forums which are saying which can mislead people to think that user means that when they don't mean that.
Q: What is the different between brick and soft-brick?
A: This is the issue I was talking about above.
A soft-brick is where you cannot access the kernel or/and rom and a brick is where you cannot access the bootloader so you cannot turn on your device unless you JTag it.
Q: Since I flashed a kernel I got stuck on the splash screen (Google logo bootloader screen), I attempted to reflash but it did not help.
A: Make sure the kernel is supported by the Rom's build number and Android version, to fix this you have to flash a supported kernel, remember that not all kernels are supported.
Q: Since I upgraded to Android 4.3 via OTA I noticed a large battery drain, WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
A: On day 1 after the upgrade Google Backup will be using your battery for restoring your data so you will have to wait until it is done BUT then it will backup your settings such has brightness and app data but you can switch off "App Data" from the sync settings to stop Google Backup.
Q: A while/day later the issue is gone but Google Services is draining my battery.
A: That is actually Google Maps doing the draining, it is using the internet to locate you, to stop the battery drain go to Settings, Location settings, and disable WiFi & Mobile network location.
Q: Titanium Backup is not restoring my backups, what can I do?
A: Flash SuperSU v1.51 via recovery, this will fix the root issues and the Titanium Backup restore issues.
Q: Root is not working on Android 4.3, I'm panicking!!!!!!!!!!!!
A: Don't worry, flash SuperSU v1.51 has mentioned above to fix root since it now uses the SU Deamon due to the new security.
Q: The stock recovery says "No command.", what can I do?
A: Either keep pressing or hold volume up and power to unlock the menu.
This does not always work for certain users so I would try volume down and power so see if that does anything.
Q: How do I disable the OTA updater?
A: You will need root and an application, thanks to @joshuab227 for the information, the following is from joshuab227's post:
Here's how to disable the auto OTA download on any ROM
Install Autorun Manager from the Play store.
Then enter its recommended advanced mode.
Go into the settings and enable the following : system entries and system app disable.
Disable com.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$Reciever under Google Service Framework

Q: The Play Store app and web store will not recognise my device!
A: @ColdEmbrace has got this issue and found the solution so that should explain why the start of the post starts how it starts:
After trying all of the above options my device was still not showing in the store. I went to this link.
play.google.com/settings
I clicked on one of my devices and clicked the update option this loaded my Nexus 4 onto the list it is now available on the web store.
Thanks everyone for the advice and I hope this helps people who are still having issues.

Q: My device says that I have no internet connection with a empty signal bar with or without a sim card.
A: The user @matt0401 was one of the victims with this issue and managed to fix this issue with a interesting solution:
Wow, I'm up and running! Weird fix though...
I installed the toolkit and downloaded the ROM, and was attempting to get into fast boot manually because trying to do it during the unlocking process in the toolkit wouldn't work. I thought I remembered the buttons for getting into fast boot from my old Gnex as being "hold power and volume up at same time". I tried this, and the phone went to the white "Google" logo and then vibrated, and then screen went black and the LED notifier at the bottom of the phone glowed red for about 2 seconds. The phone then rebooted, about 10x faster than before might I add, and when I was booted up I saw "No SIM detected... emergency calls only". This would infer my SIM slot was finally being detected, whereas before even with no SIM inserted I just got "No Internet Connection".
I popped my SIM in, rebooted, and the network is connected. Time to review 5 days of missed texts. Thanks for the hand!
tl;dr --> Anybody having this problem, try turning it off, and then turning it back on with the SIM inserted, holding POWER + VOL UP til it does this hard reset type fucntion. When rebooted, the problem should be resolved.

Q: I have to reenter my pin code for my sim every time, what do I do?
A: @lucker#1 you guessed it has the same issue has well but he wasn't the OP of the thread that the issue was discussed in but he did sure find a fix, the following is a quote from his post:
i've also had that issue the second day after receiving the phone. I removed the sim, put it back in but that didn't help - i looked at my sim card tray and i realized that a one side of the sim card chip was close to one metal side of the tray and i figured that could be the issue - so what i did is i took a stripe of adhesive tape and made sure they wouldn't touch - I haven't had the issue again and it's been more than 2 weeks.

Click to collapse
Q: Since I installed Android 4.3 a few of my apps are force closing, what should I do?
A: You have to reinstall that application to fix the issue.
Q: I am getting screen flickering.
A: Flash the correct kernel which supports your Android build and version.
Q: Got a kernel panic, HALP!!!
A: That is pretty rare for the kernel to panic but you can actually easily trigger it, to fix it you must reflash the kernel (make sure it is the correct one!).
Q: Since Android 4.3 on YouTube using Slimport there is a blue graphical glitch, why is it doing that and how to fix it?
A: Since Android 4.3 there is some major bugs, improvements and fixes and the graphical glitch (I got this myself) is due to the new Software Encoder, there is no fix yet but you can go around it by using VPlayer as it apparently supports YouTube videos and it has Hardware Encoding.
If you have any questions and answers please post them here.

Why does my S4 keep rebooting? [Log Inc]

EDIT: Here's a verbose log that was being recorded before the device rebooted as explained below. It happened 2 seconds after I locked the screen with the lock key...
http://www.fast-files.com/getfile.aspx?file=74248
I know it's a big file, and it's long but it does open in regular Notepad, just wait 40 seconds. Hopefully you can find the cause at the bottom of the log. I can't make sense of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys, any idea how to find out why my S4 seems to be rebooting every few hours, mostly after being woken up?
Some tech info:
Baseband: I9505XXUGNE5
Stock Kernel
SE For Android: Enforcing
Build Number: KOT49H.I9505XXUGNE5
Phone is rooted & Xposed installed
Quick bit of info:
It seems to happen 90% of the time when the screen goes off. By this I mean, the screen can go off no problem and then I can turn it back on without an issue. However if the phone does reboot, it seems to be when the phone is woken up after being locked/asleep. However it does happen sometimes whilst I am using the phone. Though very rarely.
It's also important to note that the phone does a 'fast reboot', not a regular one. Like it skips the 'Samsung Galaxy S4' screen and just goes straight to the spinning logo. It does reboot very fast, but it is really annoying.
However I don't have to put my SIM PIn in again, it just asks for my phone PIN and then starts to load apps as normally.
Is there some sort of App I can install that will log all errors right up to the point where it crashes. Then I could view the log and work out what caused the crash? I have the Donate of aLogcat but it doesn't seem to allow me to do this...
Any ideas guys? Any info would be absolutely awesome.
I really don't mean to bump guys but I've flashed 3 times now and still get reboots...
Could I need to flash a new boatloader or something?
The download is to slow. Just post your log in pastebin and post the link here.
What I would do in your case is to fully wipe (also wipe your sd card) and return to a clean rom. Don't install any apps, dont restore backups and see if the problem persists.
If even with a fress install you have to issues, then it's a hardware issue.
Hi, thanks for the reply. It seems that it could be a bad official release actually:

I would suggest performing a factory reset before freezing the Knox stuff. That way you have a clean start.
I'm also experiencing the same issue ( random reboots) but let's make one thing clear; this is happening ONLY after rooting. No reboots if you do NOT root, all works fine. Another thing I would like to establish when you guys say delete Knox apps, do you aside from doing search in Titanium Backup and deleting all apps entries, also do a search in the root folder with Root Explorer and delete every Knox entry? Because in my experience if you do that, the phone will not boot beyond the Samsung logo.
What i also experience is a freeze when the phone asleep/idle for a while or after a battery recharge the lock screen will open but the home screen is frozen you have to turn the screen off/on for the home screen to react. God knows how many times I have reflashed this rom, at least a dozen times. One thing is sure, its absolutely perfect when it's not rooted, no problem at all. Here is what I install after rooting
:
SdFix
AdAway
Root Explorer
Rom Manager
Titanium Backup
* I also experimented with TWRP, CWM, PhilzTouch (all latest versions) and rooted with Cf-Auto root and Via update SuperSU v1.97, v1.99.r2, v1.99r3.
So there you go, my analysis is that without root all is fine. But I and I think all of here want root, so I hope someone gets to the bottom of this. I already sent the venerable Chainfire my experince with this rom. Fingers crossed.

So there you go, my analysis is that without root all is fine. But I and I think all of here want root, so I hope someone gets to the bottom of this. I already sent the venerable Chainfire my experince with this rom. Fingers crossed.

It's doubtfull that rooting has anything to do with it. You are using the Chainfire root and from what I remember is that it doesn't change anything in the kernel that would result in those errors you descripe. Did you try rooting and not installing those apps? Also did you try other roms?
My guess is is that it's SdFix that is causing the lags.

Chainfire asked in another post people who are experiencing these reboots to list their installed root apps which I sent to him.

Maybe it is SdFix. I will check that out but, I would like to know if others who are experiencing reboots here have SdFix installed or maybe to list their installed root apps (like Chainfire suggested) so we can compare notes as to who is and who is not experiencing random reboots.
