Hi,
I am new to tablets so please bear with me
I downgraded my 3.2 A500 to 3.0.1, root it and than installed a custom ROM Thor 3.2.1 (v12) using Acer Recovery Installer.
1) I've noticed that Email (exchange + others) is gone and no way to put it back
2) Other previously installed apps like Acer Folders are gone too.
3) The tables is slower than before although people keep bragging about how fast this Rom is.
I've seen couple of posts saying that Email is lost because I didn't full wipe the tablet. What is full wipe? is it factory reset? is more than that? is a program that I have to run? I've also seen people talking about clear data + cache? What is this command?
Please advice how can I get a custom rooted ROM to be as close to the stock one?
At this point I should factory reset the tablet to get my email back or I have to start all over again?
Any idea in this myriad of terms an acronyms would be highly appreciated!

When you flash a new ROM, especially a custom ROM based on Asus, and not Acer (like the Thor ROM), you generally retain nothing after the flash, unless you'te merely upgrading from one version to the next.
Before flashing a new ROM with CWM, proper formats and wipes should be done to clean out all residuals of the previous ROMS.
Wipes menu
1) Wipe cache
2) Wipe Data, Factory reset
3) Wipe dalvik cache
4) Wipe battery stats
Mounts and storage menu
5) format system
6) format data
7) format cache
8) format flexrom
Install zip from sdcard
Choose zip file
Flash ROM
reapeat steps 1-4 (not 5-8!)
Reboot, and follow setup in your new ROM.
Some people will consider this redundant, and overkill, but rest assured that you'll not have half the problems that most people have after flashing a new ROM that don't do a proper wipe, and format.
Doing this by memory, will reboot, look at the menus again, and correct if I missed anything in a minute.
EDIT: Just rebooted into recovery, and checked. Method above is correct.

If you want a ROM that is close to stock as possible, hit the DEV section of this forum and choose a Stock rooted 3.2 ROM.

As to your comment about the Thor ROM being slower. I found that while the transitions were much smoother, boot up lagged and was slower than others, and shutdown took longer as well.
On the plus side, I've never gotten GPS lock so quickly in my life, nor with as many sats as I did with the Thor ROM. I had a look through the ROM, and there are many more files and folders that are Asus specific related to the GPS hardware that Acer doesn't include, thus the horrid GPS performance on the A500.
Thanks a bunch!
Just couple of question: Given the fact that I am already in the situation of having Thor ROM what do I do now?
Or on the alternative given the situation, if I choose to install a rooted stock ROM will all come back to normal?
Note: I don not try to preserve the existent data, just to get the tablet back in a good working state.

Do a complete wipe, format, and install a pre-rooted Stock 3.2 ROM if you want it as close to stock as possible. This is what you want if that's the case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290318
I didn't initially followed the instructions and I got a rooted stock ROM that seemed fine at the beginning until I've realized it doesn't have the Android Market app
However I've followed strictly the instructions and now I got it all working !!! Many thanks!

Good job, glad it all worked out for you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST!!
I had this problem on my rooted HTC Sensation and went mad. Rebooting, reflashing - you name it, did not work. This saved my life, and in case this happens again (dont count on it haha), i'm safe now. Thank you for posting this.
My first post on this forum goes to thanking you!
For all new to flashing make sure, you always study the directions, and do not attempt till you fully understand each step. Once you do a few flashes, it all will become easy. This is a good thread for the new comers.
Hi,
I am a newbie android user so sorry if what I am about to ask sounds really dumb to some of yours!
So first of all, I have rooted my tablet and installed the stock ROM suggested by the video author. Now I was wondering if my tablet would be more efficient by using some other ROM like the THOR one I keep finding on all the post around the forum. My question is how do I change ROM without loosing all my app and settings? Is it possible?
Now my last question is concerning overclocking and Kernel, if someone could explain what the basics of those two terms. If I understood well, overclocking is changing the settings so that you will save some power.
Thanks a lot for your patience XDA forum ANdroids pros!
Was reading a bit about my questions and wanted to get a confirmation before I do anything stupid!
To change ROM:
1) Download Titanium Back up apk
2) Back up all file using it (Do i back up on a sd card or just use the program and hit back up)
3)Download the new ROM
4)Change the name to update.zip
5)Same steps as I did for the installing of the first stock ROM

Answer to your first question is kinda a matter of personal preference since custom roms may brake something. But my personal opinion is yes. You just have to try it and see.
Yes you can back everything up but I'd recommend only backing up your apps and data for them because if you try to back up your settings than often times it won't work properly with your custom rom. You could use an app called Titanium Backup to back up your apps & data for them. BTW app "data" is your settings and saves for a game/app.
Overclocking is when you set the speed of the cpu higher to gain performance which actually takes more power. If you want to use less power than youd want to underclock. You could use a combination of underclock and overclocking to maintain or increase your battery life though. For example, setting the cpu @ 1540 when screen is on and only like 500 when screen is off. Youtube has some good explanations and tutorials . I use SetCPU for my overclocking.
A kernel is basically what "controls" or tells the os what to do.

NO. You do not need to change the filename of a zip file to update.zip. There are a couple of reasons, but that can be discussed later. Leave the rom.zip filename as is.
I assume, after you downgraded, you installed Iconia root? And after that was verified as working (superuser icon), you installed Acer Recovery from the market and flashed the Thor Recovery?
Because if you didn't do these 2 things, you won't be going anywhere.
As far as using Titanium, unless you know exactly how to use it, I would advise just letting the market download your paid apps again after flashing your new rom.
The last thing we need, is for somebody to backup the wrong stuff, and reinstall it on a different rom. Yes, if you are rooted, you can actually back up system settings, then fubar your device when restoring them to a different rom.
It sounds like you should forget Titanium for awhile.
The contents on your sd card are safe.
Have you read anything about how to flash a rom? How to do a recovery backup and restore (in case things go wrong)?
TThanks a lot I really appreciate the answer, so now my question is do i backup my files on a sd card or just on the program itself and what are the benefits of getting another Kernel?
Thanks a lot again!
You can actually flash a Stock Rom (rooted 3.2) and flash several different kernels later. Or, you can get a rom pre-packaged with a cooked kernel.

By default, TB will back them to the SD. What exactly are the files you are going to back up?
Most of my apps are apk download so I guess i will go and find a proper tutorial on how to backup files on youtube thanks a lot for the answer. If i could ask one more question:
I would like for someone to explain to me the difference between installing a new ROM and a new Kernel!
Sorry again for my ignorance as I said previously I am new to all of this !

There are several pluses to a cooked kernel. 1, videos typically run better. GPU has some tweaks. Actually, your battery life will be a lot better in some cases.
Not to mention several other pluses such as better support for certain apps that use gpu.
Regular stuff like sports apps, news, big games like GTA (wich was very long to install), Launcher, Widgets. Nothing major but because I am new was long for me to install and find .
Would you suggest any kind of ROM with cooked Kernel for someone who is a beginner like me and just trying to optimise hes tablet with the little skills he has the one I am using right now is this one:

It's ok. I would rather you ask questions, than brick your tab. Some people, jump in without asking, and, well, when it comes to TB, I get a little worried. Seen it too many times before.
The problem with TB, is that it's stupid. If you bu system apps from a totally different android version, TB doesn't know this. It may be an apk and look important, but it probably has odex files that may rely on certain dependancy versions. The result will be Force Close on your app. Lot's of apk's in the system.
You can use it, but only BACK UP the apps that you are 100% sure you downloaded. And nothing more.
Ok, All Roms contain a kernel. They won't run without it. It's like a bridge between the hardware and the android OS. It controls things such as voltage, processor, and some gpu stuff also. (graphic processor unit). A whole lot of stuff that interacts with the os. It's like the overlord.
Now, we all know 500/501s come with a kernel, they have to. And it works. But, things can be better. Processor speeds can be increased, and OV/UV can be applied to make it do so.
When you flash a rom, you have to do certain things before hand.
Boot to CWM recovery
Wipe your 3 mandatory things (user, cache, and dalvik)
Goto Mounts and storage and Format;
System
Cache
Dalvik
Flexrom
This as an advisable method.
When you flash only a kernel, you boot to CWM, and only wipe Dalvik
Big difference.
Sorry if I might be a bit rough. Trying to make sure you do the right thing and not have issues.

Ohhhh you have an older version somewhat.
I assume you wish for English? Have to be careful about Com Gen's and if you want a different language.
I can quote you 3.
1. Is totally stock, with different them buttons. Good solid stock. Look in the the dev forum for Honeylicous from CJY. (the link to the roms are in his signature)
2. Go to tegraowners.com Thors site. There are 2. One of them Flexstriker is brand new. The other Thors ver 14.Flexstriker is 3.2.1 android, themed. Thor v14 is a port from the Asus Transformer.
Both are good and come with overclocked kernels, so you do not need to do anything else.
Please follow the exact instructions I gave you before flashing. Don't forget to make a recovery backup in your CWM (I assume you installed acer recovery, and the Thor Recovery?)
Ok so:
1) Is there any way I can backup ALL of my apps? I assume that when you are talking about apps that I downloaded you mean from the MArket but most of them i just downloaded the apk from explorer.
2) What ROM do you suggest? (one that already includes a Kernel so I only have to falsh the ROM)
3) For these steps I am not sure where to go and how to do it but maybe I can find a tutorial on youtube:
Boot to CWM recovery
Wipe your 3 mandatory things (user, cache, and dalvik)
Goto Mounts and storage and Format;
System
Cache
Dalvik
Flexrom
This as an advisable method.
Boot to CWM recovery is when you hold power and volume down?

Woah thanks for the help man really appreciate, I think I will go with the site, as for the backup in my CWM I assume I did it I followed this procedure actually if it can help you understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfSPP8UOn78
So a recap of the steps I have to do to install a new ROM:
1) Backup my files --- TB or something else
2) Acer recovery --- Install recovery Image
3) I clear memory as you explained to me before
4) Download the new ROM
5) Install the new ROM as I did with the stock ROM installed previously (hold power + volume down then install zip from sd card)
Sorry for my newbness again!

Man, crazy Canuks And I say that with a smile
Didn't look at the video, but I will guess;
1. With the power off, you held Vol- and pwr, till you saw the text in the upper right corner of the display, then released.
2. In the menu, you select Backup and restore
3. Select backup system.
If you did that, then you have a current backup.
While you at Thors, site, do me a favor, and download his recovery zip, and flash it normally (copy to sd, boot to recovery, and select install zip from sd. Select Thor recovery zip. No wiping needed)
Boot system, and proceed to copy the zip at thors. Your choice. Both are great, and use the same kernel. (I helped test the kernel)
Then, reboot to recovery again, do all wipes and the 4 formats like I said. Do not wipe/format anything else.
Then go back a menu, and install zip from sd.

No problem.
Oh, I assume you installed Iconia root? Are you rooted (superuser icon? Has to be done before acer recovery.). If you have a superuser icon in you apps, the best way to check it, is to install set-cpu and see if it grants you superuser access. Get it from the market.
Then run acer recovery.
Download new rom before messing with flashing and wiping Copy it to your SD card first.
NO. Vol- and pwr. the other way puts it into a stock recovery. You do not want that. """" VOL- and PWR til the text appears in the upper right corner."""""
I am rooted, but now I am lost again! where do i do the backup and restore?
I think it would be easier if you told me the step by step logical actions that I have to do like this:
1)
2)
If you have the time and patience to do it of course!

Ok dude, follow these steps.
you are rooted. so
1. Install Acer recovery from the market.
2. If you want to back up your downloaded apps, do them now.
2. Go to tegraowners, and download the Striker rom, or Thors v.14 rom, copy them to sd.
3. Run Acer recovery application. Install thors recovery.
4. After you install thors recovery, and what ever else it may ask you
5. Power off your tab
6. Restart to recovery (vol - and pwr till you see the text)
7. Select backup and restore. (use vol - & + to navigate, PWR to select.
8. Bacakup you system.
9. When it's finished, go back to the main menu
10. now you need to wipe;
a. User Data/system format
b. Cache
c. goto Advanced and wipe Dalvik cache
Back up to the previous menu
11. Goto Mounts and storage
12. Format;
a. System
b. Data
c. cache
d. Flexrom
Go back and select
Install zip from SD
(DO NOT SELECT INSTALL UPDATE.ZIP)
Select your zip you downloaded from Thors site.
BAM! Let it finish and reboot.
I will do just as you say and give you feed back! Thanks a lot man your the man! I will drink a shot of vodka to you tonight
There are several recoveries in the acer tab. I won't explain them all, but you need to listen to my steps after you install acer recovery, and install Thors recovery image.
The method you used before (vol+ and pwr) forced the tab to go into a stock recovery, whereas it only recognized a file called update.zip. The problem, is the update.zip must be "signed", or it will not complete. It only looks for acer authorized rom updates.
Hence, a custom rom, renamed, will not work. In fact, you may probably get yourself in a big mess by trying it.
When we install a custom recovery(Vol - and PWR) (acer recovery Thor), we basically trick the tab into booting the custom recovery first. Therefore bypassing any security and safeguards.
If we can't bypass these things, then we can't flash unauthorized roms.

I was on 4.2.1, rooted, and with TWRP as recovery.
I wanted to get the OTA to 4.2.2 so I did full Titanium backup and then used the WugFresh toolkit to flash stock 4.2.1.
After flashing, I was offered the OTA which I allowed to install.
When finished, I got root back with Rootkeeper and restored all Apps and Data (not System data) with Titanium.
Everything was working, but on every reboot I got the message :
"System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable."
I also found that My Phone Explorer would no longer connect via USB so I decided to go back to 4.2.1.
I again flashed it with the toolkit and did another restore with Titanium. Again, everything seems to be working, but I still get this message on every boot.
I thought using Titanium Backup was a standard way of restoring apps and data.
How do I get rid of this message without wiping and reinstalling all my Apps individually, which means losing all my game scores, etc?
I also see that in Bootloader there is a line
"Signing - not defined yet".
I do not know if that was there before flashing back to stock.
same problem
system UIDs inconsistent, it keeps showing up after every boot.
i have nexus 7 GSM 32 gb rooted using nexus 7 toolkit with clockworkmod recovery, android version 4.2.1 build number JOP40D
i tried Rom manager fix permission the same problem, i don't like resetting it any suggestion
thank you

I found the answer in another thread. I used TWRP (Advanced - Fix Permissions). It was instantly fixed.
I took a full backup before trying this, but didn't need it.

You can boot any recovery you want without hard-flashing it to the device (so long as the boot loader is unlocked).
With the device in bootloader/fastboot mode,
Code:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery-image-file.img
So download TWRP and give it a roll.
Hello,
I got the same "System UIDs Inconsistent" problem. I like to solve my problems myself but I've got no way out this time, so I'm asking for your kind help.
I'm on the SGS III, i9300, I rooted it then went to Omega ROM, and then to Paranoid Android. Everything went well until I got a battery problem (when charging the phone, it was not sufficient to bear with it functionning, so it powered out while charging). After that, the phone restarted and the UID problem appeared. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
So far, I : fixed permissions, did at least 10 factory resets with TWRP, changed ROM (went to CM and came back to PA as nothing changed).
I read the 6 first post about this in xda forum, and other forums too, but nothing came out as an evidence.
Last thing I did was upgrade my PA ROM : the phone couldn't even go beyond the booting process, failed to initiate the phone "first settings" app.
So I came back to the previous version of PA, and was able to use my phone again, but apps like Gmail, Color Note, won't work.
I want to get rid of that, and I wish someone told me, step by step, the things I could do to eradicate the problem. I will do what's necessary to achieve that, I only need someone who knows what to do, and how to do it. I saw some tricks that maybe could do the job but I don't have the knowledge to choose one.
That's my first message here so I hope I didn't break the rules of the forum ^^ If you want any informations about my device to help me, just ask
Thanks a lot, and I hope my english is not too bad ! Have a good day.
Thanks
I got this message too without having any other problem with this TWRP version or Hairy Bean 2.2
The message appeared after flashing the new 4.2.1 (?) modded bootloader for Hairy Bean and the ROM itself.
I'm not sure whether the ROM or bootloader are causing it but mine got fixed by fixing the permissions via TWRP.
Thanks for the tip! :good:
In my case only re-partitioning helped.
for me uninstalling quadrant did the trick

This worked for me, too. Thank you.
My situation was a little bit different:
- Flashed Paranoid Android 3.99
- everything was fine (for a few reboots) until I made a nandroid back up with CWM 6.0.3.6 ( which was surprisingly slow, almost 1,5h)
- rebooted
- UID consistency problem
- tried to boot temporary into TWRP - NOT POSSIBLE!
- flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 permanently
- TWRP: advanced - fix permissions: SUCCESSFUL!
Maybe I'll keep TWRP, but I'm used to CWM for years now.
CWM has removed "fix permissions" since 6.0.3.5 (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45945/ )
Fix Permissions
For me worked fixing permissions through TWRP on CM 10.2 latest nightly (10082013).

Me too! TWRP on SlimRom 4.3
Thanks
I am also having this issue after I flashed SlimBean Beta 4 Weekly-409 on my i9300 (wipe data/cache/dalvik and clean install with gapps) and tried restoring a couple of apps like Any do and Temple Run 2 with Titanium Backup.
Is the TWRP being referred here mean the TWRP manager? I installed it from play store but I don't find 'fix permissions' option anywhere in it.
I remember of seeing it in SuperSU but I am unable to install that as well as it says the binary needs to updated.
Could someone please help me here?
Thanks!
--IH
Confirmed. Get into the TWRP n do a fix cache wipe/dalvik wipe/fix permission
Thank you for clarifying this fix

I just updated my S4 to 10.1 Hyperdrive and experienced this very same issue. Rebooting into safestrap and fixing permissions cleared up this very annoying issue on my phone.
I flashed gummy V4.4 yesterday works great. I went into rom toolbox and changed LCD density to 361 and rebooted, got the UID inconsistent message.
found this thread, fix permissions in TWRP, all fixed. bing bang boom.
thanks all, I also fixed with TWRP latest version, and try to roll back to CWM
I installed a new ROM and I got the System UIDs inconsistent error, then my S Planner FC. I went to find the txt file and it stated that the problem is related to Calendar Storage. I deleted the apk and placed a new one back in. Problem persists, I scratched my head for so long and then I found this thread.
THANK YOU, fixing permission for the Calendar Storage did the trick! Thank God I found this thread!
Just got a GTab 2 7.0 a few days ago. A P3113, so only 8GB of storage, about half of which is the ROM and crap apps. I've rooted before (had a KF 1st gen when it came out), and just wondering about a few things with the GTab:
Right now, I don't mind the stock ROM so much. There are problem things that would be "nice to have", but right now, would like to generally stay as "stock" as possible. That being said, I'd still like to "de-crap" the ROM to free up some storage space, and I assume that might lead to it running a bit better, since so much seems to just pop-in while running other apps. So:
I know I need to root first, so my first question - how reliable is that? I'm on a Mac, but have access to a netbook running Win7, so could run Odin to "get things done". I'd hate to brick the thing, still having 51 weeks of warranty left. (I also understand that I might want to install something else to keep the flash count from showing it's been flashed).
Once root'ed, is it better to use one of the "de-crapped" ROMs floating around? And if so, which seems "best" (yeah, I know the moderators hate the "which is best" - I'm looking for stock - and STABLE)
Or, is it better to eliminate the apps myself? (Not sure if this is a wholesale "rm" to remove certain apps from a terminal app, using adb, or if they have some uninstallers embedded somewhere, or...) - so better to use one of the ROMs floating around?
Is the GTab 2 "stable", so even if you trash a ROM, you can still get into the ROM manager to restore a previously working, or stock, ROM?
I'll probably come up with a couple more questions, especially depending on the replies... TIA
Hi..
I can answer some of your questions. I hope that helps!
1- Rooting is easy and reliable. you may use "CF-Auto-Root" tool (search for it in XDA forum).
But you need to remember that rooting and custom ROMs void your warranty.
2- If you just need to free some storage space, you may use an app such as "Clean Master" to uninstall system apps and get rid of temp and junk files.
3- If you opt to use a custom ROM make sure it is very well supported and maintained.

Thanks - but prior to using Clean Master I assume I better either get a stock image to reload, or use CWM so I can make a backup of the ROM before messing something up?

Taking a backup is always good thing to do. I suggest you try clean master to know how it works and what does it do.

Thanks - I plan to use Clean Master. Allows me to be selective about what I remove/move, instead of getting a ROM from someone and they removed the ONE THING I really wanted.
Ok, got it rooted and CWM installed.
HOWEVER, when I boot into CWM, I DON'T see an option to backup my ROM (I've used TWRP before on my KF, so the menu is different).
What I've got on my screen in CWM:
Android system recover <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
That's it. Where's the option to do a ROM backup? Oh, used file P3113_SAMSUNG_RECOVERY_SUPERSU-0.96_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar.md5.zip Had CWM and Root all in one. I do have GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar as well. Should I just go through procedure again to flash this CWM? Will it still retain SU?
nandroid backup ok to use? Seems it's just a wrapper for a backup script...
Ok - I'll reply to myself.
I don't know what was wrong with the CWM I installed via the aforementioned file (P3113_SAMSUNG_RECOVERY_SUPERSU-0.96_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar.md5.zip), but I went to the CWM site, D/L'ed the latest touch enabled CWM for the P3113 (6.0.2.3, I believe), and installed it over the existing recovery image on the device (I had to create my own .tar.md5 - easy with *nix).
Anyway, I now have access to the backup options by scrolling down. The image from P3113_SAMSUNG_RECOVERY_SUPERSU-0.96_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar.md5.zip, simply wouldn't scroll beyond what I listed earlier. Now can scroll down, make backups, etc.
Haven't tried yet to re-install the image I made with nandroid - I'm a bit leery of that - so I'll just get the stock 4.1.1 ROM from sammobile, and keep it around....

That's exactly what I did today, grabbed the stock image for a backup, rooted with Odin and CWM then flashed a CM based 4.3 ROM. Piece of cake.
Hello,
I've had my SGS4 for a year and a half now, and rooted it with cf-auto-root through odin 3.07 3 months ago. I didn't flash custom firmwares though. i've had CWM recovery 6.0.xxx flashed and installed, made a nandroid backup using it (did it today before installing cerebrus, i'll explain later, and after tweaking the boot animation, i'll also explain later), and installed some (Above 25) root applications, from wich i'll have to cite: online nandroid backup, rom toolbox pro, rom installer... and many more i can't recall because of the incapability of accessing my phone right now :silly:
Today, i thought i can give him some little tweaks, to my s4 running 4.4.2 android version. i've gone to rom toolbox pro and used the replace animated boot or whatever it is called feature, that didn't work (probably because i have stock firmware), so i went to another app (excuse me for not remembering the name, but it may be rom installer) and downloaded the recommended "cerebrus" rom, that provides the ability to track my device, lock it, unlock it, and take pictures/recordings from their website (yes i know that this is risky), through CWM recovery. When i rebooted the device, 256 apps were updated, then, after entering the pin, "Cerebrus has stopped working". i then rebooted the device into recovery, from wich i restored my phone to a previous state (no i didn't wipe anything, from dalvik to data). Then came the endless boot... not knowing what to do, i became "flash happy"... kind of... i flashed the recovery many times, wiped data many times, wiped dalvik many times... nothing, same result. i finally wiped everything that can be deleted from the "advanced" menu in CWM... it softbricked my device... dunno how i did it, but i managed to enter odin mode and flashed the PIT file... it worked... only to recovery though, still can't get in... i then re-did the steps of wiping dalvik, data, cache, doing factory resets, reflashing PIT.... NOTHING. Of course, i was here all the time, searching for solutions... but nothing worked for me... So i had to create this thread on a problem that was resolved a thousand times, sorry. I hope that someone will be able to help me, or else, i'm off to the nearest samsung store...
I also have a request, if it's not a burden ofc, can i, after making my device work again, restore system and data from the backup or is it too risquy?
And Thank you for your support!
If you wiped /system then there is nothing to boot up. You basically deleted the android OS from your device.
I'd suggest finding the original stock rom for your device and flash it with Odin.

but i then restored it through the "advanced" menu of CWM (or doesn't it restore the OS?), from the nandroid backup.
Anyway, I'm downloading the OS right now but... it's gonna take a while: 1.5GB through 25kB/s internet is hard lol...
Thanks for your Advice!

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to help me with this issue!
i read that thread before, and was downloading the firmware through the night... but the download failed, now i don't have enough time to redownload it again, especially if it's gonna make errors.
bottom line, do you have any trusted torrent link for the firmware? it would be easier to do download since that it won't give me errors...
Thanks again!
