Last week I flashed a CWM package to enable init.d support which for some reason caused the table to take an extra 30 seconds to boot... double the usual time. Today I wanted to flash my old CWM backup to get back my 30 second boot time but during the restore process it crapped out and said couldn't restore /data. It did restore some of the /data. I wiped the /data partition and just reinstalled the newest Overcome rom the cwm zip again. When it rebooted, I got the weird issue of having the home soft button do nothing. It won't bring you back to the desktop and long holding it doesn't bring you to the task manager. Thinking this is a rom issue, I flashed galaxytask rom which surprisingly had the same issue. I thought I'd make a last ditch effort to have everything fixed and flash UEKMM through odin. Surprise, surprise it still has the same issue... even after an odin flash. Another side effect is that the power off menu only gives me poweroff, reboot, recovery, download mode when using a custom rom or only poweroff if using the odin flash. These reduced poweroff menu options seem to be present independent of the rom. Can anybody help me? I'd really like to have the home button working again. I tried everything: odin, wipe data, wipe /system... and every other combo in between.
Do the restore overcome from their "restore yer tab" section. You should then be OK and able to start from scratch. I've seen it work miracles on my own and many others tabs. make sure you follow every step and instruction they say with Odin to get it perfect.
Let us know how it turns out.

Funny you should mention that. I actually read over their section of returning to stock (not word for word as I WAS panicking) when I noticed they reflashed to stock using a pit file. I found that pit file on the internet and reflashed stock uekmm with the P4_16G_32G.pit file and it's working now.
Sweet.... always good to hear.
I've pretty much been there done that so I kinda thought you were just missing something not perfectly obvious. I've suggested that method to many people after I was in a panic and someone directed me there and I was able solve what I thought was a fully bricked tab.
Thanks for letting me know.

Do you format /system every time you flash a rom? If not you're doing it wrong.

If your talking to me, yes I do, but not using a pit file in Odin. I actually define it as a system wipe though it's a step suggested in the op of every ROM I've ever flashed.

Are you referring to QBKing and Sock Monkeys instructions? I bought a tab off craigslist and it seems the home, back and multi taks buttons when holding it in proper orientation are not working. I used QBKing and Sock Monkeys instructions/files to restore to stock and they still are not functioning. If you have a link to something else I'd love to give it a shot.
Really frustrated with myself for not checking that everything was okay with the tab before buying it since it was a craigslist deal. This might end up being a pretty expensive mistake.

No. I'm referring here to the Overcome ROM thread and the links from it to an outside guide. Then on the outside page of instructions down the page it says restore yer tab. Its helped me and many others I've sent there. Don't have a link handy, but it doesn't look like you need it now anyway.
Glad you got it going.

long story short, i had root and oclf, i uninstalled it and installed voodoo, let system sit for 30 mins, i guess i got impatient, so i pulled and restored, i created the disable_lagfix file and it ran through the paces, so i decided to put one of the other roms back on that had d1 update.. anyways, it loaded but i had NO cell radio, none, also i seem to get a invalid argument when booting up to recovery but i can still boot into CWM, i have tried to restore just the modem file part to see if that works but i think it freezes about 2/3 of the way and i get a scirpt ABORTED MESSAGE (STATUS 7).
I really need someones help.
any suggestions
Odin! Or you can just odin clockwork kernal and find the nanadroid back up on here. Then restore.

Not saying u did this but not having a cell radio is often a symptom of flashing something in the "phone" part of Odin instead of in the "PDA" again not saying u did this but I've seen several instances of people having this problem in irc all being caused by that. Be a little more careful with the new one. I do t think a backup will even save u if u flash something to the phone part. Goodluck sir

You could easily determine this by looking in setting - about phone - baseband version. If it says uknown, you've killed your cell radio by flashing to "phone" instead of "pda." If you have a version number, you're fine.
I flashed CWM into "phone" instead of "pda". Is there really no fixing it? I've tried nandroid recovery, Odin, everything and still no cell radio and also force closes everywhere...
Also will VZ take the phone back? The phone's less than a week old...I'll make sure to be more careful next time
Try and say you tried to run the ota update and it loaded that

Yes, there's really no fixing it. To fix the FC issues you need to get to the OS to do a privacy wipe, or wipe /dbdata from the shell. I would start with restoring everything from the Odin post to get everything back to stock. At least when you go to return it, it will look like a fully functioning phone, with just a radio that happened to crap-out.

yep i flashed something to the phone part of my phone too. no signal and no baseband version. took it to verizon and they said since i didnt get it from them, they cant relplace it. samsung said that i hafta mail it in to be repaired. freakin gay. if they dont fix it, its not much a problem for me cause my contract expires next month so ill make a new one and get the same phone. until then im on my sch-u740 lol
hopefully some baseband files get leaked so those of us who did this can fix it.

nope. unless someone somewhere releases the complete baseband file, and we flash that. the only thing we have close to that is the modem update which is just an update to an existing modem.
btw random question that might save us,
if someone skilled pulls SCH-I500_OpenSource.zip from opensource.samsung.com, maybe theres a baseband file there somewhere that just needs to be built? idk just a desperate thought

Oh ****, think I bricked the phone!
I rooted the phone yesterday and put bonsai4all rom on it...
Then i had a problem where the apps would delete themselves after a reboot... After having the non apps after reboot problem, I did a reinstall and then i started getting random reboots about every 3 mins.
Did another install, but this time, I also formatted system besides cache and data...
Now no matter what I do, I'm stuck at the sanding screen. I tried another wipe of all items and a restore back to fresh root. No go...
Please help
You are not bricked
You need to use Odin to get your phone back to a usable state.
Once you use odin to go back to stock it will be fine ,also what are you running ext4 rfs.
just look in the threads and you will find the tutorial for going back to a stock rom.
Can ya link me to a recovery via Odin thread?
I'm at work on the iPad so it's hard to search around...
I'll have to wait til I get home to use Odin.
No ext4 afaik, I didn't touch any of that stuff
Thx bud..
Ps I do have access to clockwork still if that helps

Yes, it will, and yes. This isn't an attack of the op but this thread is more evidence we need a sticky guide of how to deal with this.
Sent from my ext4 Epic 4G running Bonsai4all 1.1.3!
Not trying to steer a user away from XDA, but I wanted to read marcusant's threads and could not get them to open for me.
And as to the suggestion for stickies, I read both this and Android Central. There forums are not as technical, so the combo is great.
But they do have easy to read and use stickies at the beginning of the Epic Forums for help which eliminates the need to try to search through the forums for what I consider an emergency help need from a panicked member (can you tell I have been there from that statement!!!)
Just wondering if anyone who's flashing and rooting could please do a backup and upload it somewhere. Myself and a couple others have accidentally partitioned our internal SD incorrectly causing a catastrophic touch screen issue.
I'm hoping it'll have the properly partitioned SD storage because I'm having difficulty doing it manually. If someone could upload this it'd be hugely appreciated!!!

Im relatively new to android...is this backup you are speaking about a TB backup. Or what method of backup are you looking for?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
You actually need to be rooted and have Tenfar's custom Recovery menu. In there it has an option to do a Backup.
If you're new it may be too engaging but I appreciate the offer nonetheless. If you could help, it'd be great. If it's too much trouble, I thank you anyway!
yeah what does the nandroid backup...back.. up? the apps?
What I'm HOPING and PRAYING for is that it'll also copy something in the internal SD which was partitioned due to my stupidity. dev/block/mmcblk0p18 is what that is in particular.
I tried manually formatting and partitioning it but I'm unable to do so. Fastboot freezes and Early USB Enumeration goes by so quickly I can't run the commands that I need through ADB. And I don't even know if that'll work because I made a script that executes the commands and I get weird errors. I'm far from an expert and monkeyed around too deeply where I shouldn't have.
About 4-5 others are reporting the same problem. The ****ty thing is that I'm in Canada and it'd be a huge pain to send it to Motorola. They're giving me a lot of grief and I've had to put up a big fight. Waiting to see if they'll send an RMA because I may need to send it in. When I get it back I might sell it and buy a Bell Atrix because I live in Canada and if something bad happens, it'll be easier to send to Bell or Motorola Canada.
from what i understand you have to have an unlocked bootloader to backup or restore using a nandroid backub
Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology then.. just need a backup from Tenfar's customer Recovery. I don't even know if it'll work but I'm out of ideas.
I'm at least thankful that the Xperia X10's bootloader was cracked. I forgot to send a replacement back to Rogers and I phoned them asking if I could use it for now. They thankfully said yes because they forgot to charge me for it lol... it's got some really great ROMs, but looking at this beautiful, mangled Atrix makes baby Jesus cry!

I've already tried the SBF files but it doesn't do anything to the internal SD. I need an actual backup because the user settings are exactly what I'm looking for. Normally you'd want a fresh flash from stock but I hope you now understand why I'm asking this constantly.
Flashing to stock was naturally my first step. Unfortunately it had failed. About 5 others reporting the same problem.

What maybe you could do is? go into tenfars cwm recovery go to mounts and storage and format the internal sdcard and system and boot and data. This is safe as far as I know and me and tenfar have both done this.I literally formatted every single thing in the option menu. just to see if I could do it. Which was stupid but I was curious and used to do that before I installed new roms on my old backflip all the time! Also might wanna do a factory reset through cwm and clear dalvik cahe as well for good measure. Now after you format all that. reboot system which will send you in a boot loop/wont boot past first screen. Pull the battery and unplug usb cable from charger. Then reboot and enter rsdlite mode by holding volume up and the power button. Now just flash your 4.1.26 sbf file through rsdlite 5.0
As long as you flash back to retail 4.1.26 afterwords using rsdlite 5.0 that should put everything right! As I have done this and my phone is working normal.
I better put one of them warnings here though anyway lol

I was not aware of this and was so focused on correcting the challenge that this was a complete oversight. On second thought, I don't want to compromise anyone's security.
I had in mind a fresh backup, preferably for AT&T's 1.2.6 SBF but it's a bit of trouble and a lot of space. I retract my request due to the amount of work involved and that I don't want to compromise anyone's security in case they don't clear their user details, etc.
Thanks for pointing that out, knigitz. I think ADB access in the Recovery is our best bet. Crossing my fingers.

Rooted
Busybox
Superuser
Data/app folder added with a couple of apps to check root
All stock ACER apps included
You know the procedure for flashing. If not, here they are again, as it seems some people don't know.
You MUST do the wipes and formats.
Installation:
Due to issues with Version 1.7 of recovery, you may get stuck at the boot animation. Highly advise you to downgrade your recovery back to Version 1.5. It seems that some things do not get wiped and formatted correctly.
1. Wipe User Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe DalviK
4. Wipe Battery Stats
Note: Optional Formatting.
If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.
If you want to save all the things like downloaded files, apps, pdf's etc, then DO NOT enable this toggle, and just proceed to the Format steps.
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
Select Go Back and select Install from Zip File (for those of you who refuse to update their recovery, select Install zip from SD)
Link Re-established.

Not sure what your definition is of a "full wipe", but instructions can be found here:

I can guarantee you that if all you can get is to the boot animation that the problem is "pilot error".

Well, here's what I suggest. Look in my original post. I added the full instructions from my other rom.
It seems now days, the old 3 wipes just don't do a good enough job, you also have to do the formats as well.
(I thought I would be lazy and do only the 3 wipes last night, guess what? Stuck at boot animation) Did the full wipe and format, and it works as advertised.
EDIT: Guess what? This morning, I cannot flash anything, or I should say "hit and miss". Not even my daily driver. Connected to Recovery I believe.
Link re-established. Nothing wrong with the download.
If you have issues, downgrade your recovery back to version 1.5.
The issue with version 1.7 is "hit and miss". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Well, I haven't checked the comgen1 yet (had to figure out the recovery problem first). Will root it and check it in a bit.
But, so far, I see 4 or 5 language supports are missing from the TMPL. Arabic and Aisian mostly. Also, on install the default is Polish (not a biggie as you can change it).
Other that that, it has a few extra files when compared to 3.2.
It seems I can get 1 or 2 extra sat's on gps when comparing to HC 3.2. But maybe because it's a clear day here.
Also, Acer included a couple new apps. One of them some 3d photo browser that force closes the first time you use it. Then it works normally, sort of. Seems it loses it's images off and on. Nice job acer. And, it's butt ugly. Wonder who the rocket scientist was that chose that app?
I'm not going to mod this one, but I will with the comgen1. Overall it runs good I think.

What is that A501_4.031.24_4.066.29_COM_GEN1 build ?
I am only aware of that Acer_A501_4.066.29_COM_GEN1 posted by Vache, but how did you figure 4.031.24 is upgraded to that one ?
Sorry. My Bad
I was thinking about the a501_4.510.01_Com_Gen1H that was leaked out yesterday.
I already rooted it and such, but it seems to be a "Demo" version from a couple of months ago. Not only does it have a strange installer script, but a strange directory structure also. 3g also is partly working.
So basically it's of little use.

Could You provide the MD5 just to check if the download is correct (it is very slow)?
Thanks

I get one in a few minutes.
The issue, is the U.S. is shutting down all the file servers due to piracy. MegaUpload, MultiUpload (server end) Now all that's left are the slow ones. Took me 45 minutes to download today.

Yeah, its a pain in the bum alright, some of the slower ones already have "removed or taken down because of copyrighted material" messages coming up (deposit files)... A couple have the servers offline - upload king and upload here.
This is gonna be a major pain in the bum if the close down or lock file sharing sites, and the sites themselves may end up locking things down and removing anything they see as copyrighted material, even if its not....
Took me 10 minutes to download an 8mb kernel... I'm gonna end up a bald man before I get this rom....
And then the download stuffs up and I have start ALL OVER AGAIN.... Then to add insult to injury I have to wait 20 minutes.....

I'm not quite that bad off (still have all my hair)!
I'm going to look around for some Russian servers. Or something. I noticed one other place, but I have to find it again. They'll probably shut it down also soon.
Next thing you know, they'll shut down GitHub, and all dev comes to a standstill.
Also, I noticed today, XDA is almost at a complete stop. And I can guess who's responsible for THAT!
It's running now, needed to format it to make it work.
Didn't have to format when i was installing v3.2.
Thanks for the help

I think there's going to be a "knee jerk" re-action to the mega upload affair.... Be a REAL pain if we can't continue doing what we want with our devices...
Shame too, just getting good with the new A501 roms coming out...
Hate I might need to revert to stock to pick up ICS upgrade because the chefs can't share their flavours...
Chefs are great for sharing these awesome roms....

Well, I just know enough to make me screw things up
I found another place. 30 min download, But you have to give your e-mail for the link. Not really an issue. 3 more servers went down today.
Seems all that's left, is the small file hosts, and they're starting to limit file size.
I suspect, some serious **** will hit the fan in the next coming week, The US can't keep going on this crusade forever. Otherwise, there won;t be a site left except "foxnews" and Facebook.
IS there a Kernel i can use for overclocking?
Using CPU Master i can only choose 1000MHz, had it overclocked to 1.4GHz with the previous ROM.

No problem and glad it's running.
Not sure what is going on, but in past 6 months, it seems like we now have to format things. I didn't in the past, but now I must.
Well, it is 2012, so things change.
If you have issues with the Rom, it is pure stock HC 3.2.1. I changed nothing in it. Only SU and busybox and removal of the bootloader blob and recovery. So if a game doesn't run, there is nothing I can do about it. It's an Acer deal.
However, I do have one on my notebook, that has "0" acer stuff in it.
Folks,
I've been running the ICS Kang project build without any issues (2.3) for the past while. Last night the tablet locked up on me and I powered it off by holding down the on/off button. When I went to turn it back on it now permanently hangs during boot. I can still get into CWM but attempting to wipe either the D. Cache or data hangs. Anyone got any ideas?
Can you restore a backup?
If you can't do anything in CWM then you might have to Odin back to stock....
I can flash a new rom but there appears to be something wrong with the data partition - can't wipe it and tablet wont boot.
You don't happen to have a link to restoring tab via ODIN? I was just browsing for that...

Scroll down to where is says Re-Stocking Yer System and follow the instructions.. Make sure you choose the correct download (7500 or 7510)
Thanks - I'll let you know what happens.
Its bizarre, flashed roms lots of times, never had an issue even close to this...

No problem... It should go nice and smooth and once it boots back up check in settings for system updates..
Well, thanks! That did the trick! I am back to the stock Samsung firmware and have already reflashed clockwork. I really don't know what went wrong in the first place, but I suppose that's what you get for living on the 'alpha' edge...
Thanks again! (BTW I did click the 'thanks' button ;-) )
BTW - for anyone interested or suffering a similar problem, in the end this required a full reset - all data was lost which sucked for me as I had all my backups on the device too (don't bother calling me stupid, I've already done it)....
I'm guessing some bug in the ICS KANG alpha screwed the partitions up which nothing short of a full reset could fix...
Sweet! Glad you are back up and rockin'...
phew!
I had exactly the same problem yesterday, and I thought my tab was completely fubar until I came across this post.
I was running the "official unofficial" CM9 snapshot for p4wifi, and before that I ran AOPK build 27, I think. I did not perform a full wipe before going to CM9.
I change roms on my tab very often to try to find the best, so something must have gotten messed up, but it's somewhat odd since it worked in the morning, and then when I came to work it had totally b0rked up on me.
Anyway, this post was a life saver although I lost all my data (didn't keep a titanium backup or a CWM backup on another storage than the internal storage. shame on me).
So - thanks alot raqball!

Never understood why people don't do a full wipe and expect nothing to go wrong.

Hehe, well, I usually do a wipe but this time I read somewhere that you probably didn't need to when going from aokp to cm9, since they are pretty much the same.
But..... Lesson learned

Understandable... but unless the Dev. says no wipe needed, I would always suggest it, even when it's virtually the same ROM, thread, Dev., etc...
At least it wasn't too hard of a lesson.
