Build number says "Acer_A500_4.010." only - Acer Iconia A500

I've been bouncing around to different kernels lately, but decided to restore to my stock backup. Now when I look at the build number, it just shows "Acer_A500_4.010." When I try to check for system updates, I get "Network coverage is currently poor. Please move to a location with better coverage to continue". I've even gone back as far as my original backup I performed immediately after my original root.
My build.prop file shows Acer_A500_4.010.01_COM_GEN2. Not sure why it isn't showing up correctly in the Status window. I'm currently downloading the update.zip for 4.010.01_COM_GEN2 and will attempt to push that. Hopefully that will fix things up. Anyone have any ideas on how I got into this state?

Downloaded the "Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2" from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878. After flashing that, restoring default recovery image and un-rooting, I was able to do an OTA and got Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2.
Looks like everything is OK now, but I'm still curious as to how I got in that state in the first place.

Ok, that makes sense. Do I need to go back and do another restore and force the flexrom partition, or am I ok with what i've done?

Reboot into CWR (both volume buttons held in) while booting until you see “Vibrant'
Once there, go to Backup and run that. Should take about 5 minutes, maybe more.
If all hell breaks loose, this is a snapshot of your phone at that point... it's important to do this before flashing a new ROM!
I'm sure it's something stupid on my side BUT, all the options i have after booting in CWR are(blue): reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, format internal sd-card.
I decided NOT to touch any of those now since i cant find the Backup option on there, so i just rebooted my phone. Please guide me with a link or something. Thanks. I don't want to rush things.

thats the cwm recovery, i dont think you backup from there.
you backup using the app, and nandroid I think.
also make sure to save the backup onto your computer also!
also, there is a special folder, i forget which folder it is. it must be backed up separately i think. It contains your phones imei and other information, without it your radio and phone will not make calls. back that up. I forget what its called. If you loose that, you lost it for good and your phone is junk

That's actually incorrect. What you described is still the stock recovery menu. Cwm recovery has more options, and the text will either be green or red, depending on whether you have the ext4 (voodoo) lagfix applied.
If you have the correct CWM update.zip file on the root of your internal sd, then boot into stock recovery and select "reinstall packages." You'll be thrown back into stock recovery, whereupon you select reinstall packages a second time. That second one will put you in CWM recovery.
And to clarify, you CAN restore/backup from CWM (as well as many other things...maybe read up on that). Just remember that a backup does not include your kernel, in case you bounce between 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 roms.
Hope that helps...good luck.

You're thinking of EFS. I don't believe you can back that up through recovery. There is a different procedure for that which I can't recall off the top of my head.
Don't forget, after flashing you should wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and fix permissions. All are options in the recovery.

Cannot encrypt TPT after factory reset?!

I recently updated to 0089_US using CWM patched version & proceeded to perform the device encryption.
Everything went smoothly & the TPT performed as per normal.
However, three days ago, it suddenly started to act up & after a reboot, I started encountering a series of Force Close repeatedly on almost every other application I try to use.
Nothing I tried to do to recover from this problem resolved the problem.
As a last resort, I backed up all the data that I can access & performed a factory reset (Privacy | Factory reset).
After the factory reset, I setup my TPT & tried to perform the encryption again.
This is when I discovered that something is wrong.
I was not greeted with the usual dialogue that I encountered in the first successful encryption process.l
Instead, after confirming that I want to encrypt the tablet, all I get is a green android icon without any indication of any process going on in the background.
Pressing the Home button brings me back to the desktop minus the taskbar (Back, Home & Task switcher) at the bottom.
After the screen or screen lock timeout, the TPT will lock. Unlocking it will bring me back to the green android icon.
This is how it looks like:
Link to picture
This is how it should be if it was working normally:
Link to picture
I've already factory reset the TPT 3-4 times but each time, the situation is the same.
I've just tried reflashing 0089_US again & the situation has not changed.
Can someone advise me what is wrong here?
I've not placed any data back on my TPT at this point.
Please advise me as I need it to be encrypted.
Thanks!
Update: After reading this thread, I got the idea that if I can get my hands on a stock 0076_US NANDROID backup, perhaps I can get it back to the original state. My own NANDROID backups did not work because the data & system files did not successfully convert to .img files after the backup. I got an error that the CWM backup failed to generate the data backup because /sdcard/.android_secure cannot be found.
Konker
PS: I posted this at the Lenovo forum here but did not get any response.
Can I use CWM to restore system.img alone?
I'm wondering if its worth a try to restore a system.img to my TPT? I've since restored my data & apps using Titanium Backup.
I got a feeling that the system files are somehow not properly restored when performing the factory reset. Of course I would need a system.img file to restore so anyone who has a 0089_US system.img file to spare, I'll greatly appreciate it. Not sure if I'll lose root in the process.
Anyone with any clue as to what I'm facing, please point me in the right direction.
TIA!

Does anyone happen to have a nandroid backup for ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0037_0075_US?
I'm confused - your thread title requests a different backup than the message.

Konker,
No issues to speak of. It is a factory reset, booted through startup without wifi, no account info provided, Lenovo standard bloatware, and no customization. SuperUser is already installed and active. The backup folder was renamed and then added to a zip file.
My tablet has a Gobi3000 wwan card installed, otherwise a standard 1838 with 32gb storage.
I hope it helps anyone who didn't get a backup made before upgrading.
Unzip file to sd-card /clockworkmod/backup/
Put sd-card in tablet
Shut down, boot to CWR, (make your own backup), restore to 0075
Enjoy
I keep getting a MD5 checksum error. I have tried to re-downloading several times but still getting the error. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Try from the uploads I put on everyrandom.com today. The previously linked one was uploaded (550MB) on 3G cell service, likely screwing it up somehow.
edit: everyrandom.com/files wasn't serving the files correctly. They have been removed.

I was also so I installed the second CWM version about half way through that thread, and the restore went smooth.
Whoa, I just realized I never installed the improved CWR port. Mine is the original CWR that was offered up on the first day of Root. I should remember that because I ALWAYS pull my SD-Card out before performing factory resets. I heard the CWR update fixed that...
I'll note that in my Nandroid post. Thanks for the heads up.
I figured out what was going on. I guess when I extracted the files, it put the files in a sub folder with the name as the original folder.
I tried to download from the other post also, but it was like the files had been removed from the site.

I updated the CWM on my TPT with this version & I discovered that the recovery console is not as stable.
No long after I reboot into CWM recovery, perhaps about 10 secs, my TPT rebooted itself.

Uh oh... Can I fix this? Rom Toolbox Pro error

Hey guys,
I tried using Rom Toolbox Pro to change my battery icon... after trying to install, the error "com.android.systemui has stopped working" continually popped up. I had to reboot by holding vol+, vol- and lock.
After rebooting, all soft buttons and the status bar are gone. I can't manage to get them back. I also can't manage to restore the battery icon - RTP prompted me to backup the icons before trying to install the new ones, and I did.
What have I done?
You've borked the system UI. Need to flash a new ROM or flash a factory image, I think.

That's not the clock work recovery. It's the bootloader. That's where you need to be to flash the image though.
First download the Nexus 7 image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasijro03d
Once you have downloaded it extract the file twice until you see image-nakasi-jro03d.zip
Take that zip and move it to the directory where you have fastboot on your computer.
Open your command prompt pointing at that directory.
Then, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it returns a number you are good to go.
Next type:
Code:
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jro03d.zip
This will wipe your user data and restore stock recovery. But you should be good to go.
geez, just reflash your rom, youll be ok.

haha sorry if my posts were a bit over the top, I was just sitting in bed having a play (with my Nexus 7........), then all of a sudden my tablet is seemingly wrecked simply from trying to change the battery icon... I FREAKED
Did something similar myself.
Just downloaded the factory image and flashed just the system.img file using fastboot and rerooted. A few system apps played up, most were fixed by wiping the cache but i had to delete all data from the contacts app, it resynced fine anyway.
To clarify extract the factory image to get the system.img and use the following
fastboot flash system system.img
Just rewrites the system partition.

Hello friends,
I am curious why, when such issues occured with your device, you did not contact Rom Toolbox Dev. to ask for help?
I am part of the support team from Rom Toolbox Pro, and I believe the post right before me is from someone who reached out to me to ask me about this, so allow me to explain the solution here real fast:
What happened is that when you changed the icon, it simply didn't work and messed up the UI. This occurs sometimes, and is the right time to restore a backup of the icons.
Problem is that now you can't restore, because the soft keys are all gone, and the Nexus 7 has no hard keys to do the dirty work.
So, here is the solution; you must use Root Browser to switch out the Systemui.apk and framework.apk files from the backup folder to the /system/app folder.
Where is the backup stored, you ask? Well, since it's very easy to break a rom by restoring the framework and systemui to the wrong rom, the backups are actually placed inside the app's data partition. This is to prevent tampering. If you are reading this post, then I assume you know what you're doing and are doing this with the EXACT same rom as the backups were created from.
The directory of the backups is /data/data/com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro/files/status_bar_backup/
Simply copy these over and paste them in /system/app, maybe renaming rather than deleting the old ones, just in case, then paste these and reboot your device.
And now your systemui and framework should be all restored.
Hope this helps! Be sure to contact the developer next time you need any help, We have arguably the best customer service of all the Play Store
And be sure to thank the one who referred me to this thread, if this helps!

Hi Master Ramy,
I was the one who emailed JRummy.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying actually. I guess your reply answers the OP's question - that is, in the event that we get the "com.android.systemui has stopped working" error , then we should do the stuff you said?
My issue is different... I hadn't swapped out my battery icons yet, cos I wanted to test the restore function in ROM Toolbox first before doing so. So I backed up both systemui and framework-res using ROM Toolbox, then simply tried to restore them using ROM Toolbox. But I got a toast notification saying "failed to get icons". I didn't get a big error like the OP's, but it was alarming enough that I didn't even try to change the icons in the end.
Are you saying that I should manually move my systemui and framework-res backups to system/app in order for ROM Toolbox to be able to restore them?

Unable to Restore from backup

Currently using latest Philz Recovery (problem existed on other recoveries as well) and I'm unable to fully restore from backup. After restoring I get non-stop force closes and not responding errors. Only fix is to perform a Data Wipe after restore, which isn't so bad since Restored Rom is intact even if needing to reinstall all apps and settings from scratch. Problem started after updating via stock recovery to OTA/MJA, which has tripped my Knox. I have tried several things, including clearing cache and battery pulls Wandering if anyone has any suggestions.

You have to check process SE context JB 4.3 settings in philz recovery UNDER misc Nandroid settings before making back up

I was able to restore successfully from 1 backup after making change (above post) but problem came back when trying to restore from a more current backup made with the settings. Still had to perform a data wipe after restoring rom.
Edit: I just checked and this setting doesn't stick after rebooting, which explains why subsequent backup/restore had errors.

Sorry ya I forgot about that, it happened to me also once, but it is sticking for me now along with my background /theme change,, I still check those settings out of habit every time I restore or back up, md5 box checks itself on and off also occasionally
