Last night I try One Click Lag fix made by RyanZa, it seems that it didn't work as I found in the windows that permission denied and after check from Quardant Standard, it still 889, I have used Busybox 1.17.1.
And then I tried the solution made by Tayutama http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=417
I manage to have the new app MCR Scrips in my app list and click LagFix1024.sh. There is a note ..... wait for long time....., during this process, my screen keep going to be blank screen... and suddenly it is blank, even I have tried to soft reset, it is still blank, just appear the samsung logo, samsung sound and then no screen but blank.
I am panic then and got the idea to flash it, Hold down down+powerbutton+Menubutton, it can go to download mode and can flash to I9000DXJG4 until complete but can not boot.....
The device still look like in shut down.
I plug off the cable and then Hold down up+powerbutton+Menubutton try to reboot, samsung logo and after that sound and than keep in blank screen......
Please help .... please .. please... I don't have any idea what should be done next....
Thanks a lots before
Was using tablet and just playing a game -- tablet reset, robot with ! showed up.
After that, reboots bring me only to the Acer screen.
I can do the VOLUME UP + POWER -- vibrates, powers up, toggle the switch, let go of power button and it does:
ERASING USERDATA...
ERASING CACHE...
Then it reboots back to the ACER logo, and just sits there. I have downloaded one of the ROMs and done the VOLUME with POWER BUTTON start up and it doesn't do anything. Just stays at ACER logo.
I've looked at quite a few things here on the forums and it hasn't done me any good -- nothing seems to want to work with the tablet unless it's in debug mode (which means it has to be a working tab). When connected to a PC it does detect as an MTP USB DEVICE and says "THIS DEVICE IS WORKING PROPERLY." But I can't get much of anything. The only thing I've used that remotely works is USBDEVIEW which gives me the device info including a serial #, which I understand is NOT the cpuid. I do have the box, so I guess that would have the CPUID? Any help appreciate. More than willing to just blast this thing with a one touch factory reset from the PC, if it will just connect.
If you had it at the dead android guy, it means you probably didn't have the decrypted "update.zip" on your Ext SD card. If you had stock ICS running before, you can try downloading those 4 update.zips I posted a few threads ago. Will have to try each one, and hopefully one of them works.

It went to the Dead Android guy when it rebooted after a crash. I haven't seen it since. Just got to the Acer logo screen and stops.
Your linked post is going to what it actually shows instead of the real link.

I'm also stuck at the ACER logo. I d/l'd all four of the zips from your link. All four appear to install correctly but when the flash finishes and the tablet reboots, it's still stuck at the logo.
Also, when I just tried the link again, it is no longer working.
where were you coming from when you tried this ? what BL? gb?JB? what recovery , theres a alot of reading to be done with this device Acer didnt make it easy , but if you read and take it slow there are/were some great devs that left the door open for us all to use these ? Explain where your started from and how you got to where you are now? (Moscow is a sharp dude he can help)!

I bought the tablet used and it would loop on the green "ANDROID" screen. So I don't know what version it was on. I tried the volume +, rotation left and power on to clear the cache and user data. After that it hangs at the ACER screen. I'm assuming it had HC because it has standard recovery. IOW, if I hold the volume - when powering on, it goes to the green Android logo and if an "update.zip" file is present, it will flash it. I've tried just about every "full" ROM I can find and most of them flash but none of them get past "ACER".
I've tried pushing the reset button while powering on while connected to both a Linux box running Mint 15 and a Win7 box. The Win7 box see the tab but won't load the driver. Even though I d/l'd the USB driver from the Acer site. Mint 15 sees the tab but comes up with the error box saying it can't be mounted.
(I speak spanish , so srry for my bad english)

still hanging at the acer screen! totally stumped now, help please!
I don't even get an acer logo. I'm stuck in APX mode so black screen no text no logo power button lit white.
Does your screen just have the acer logo or do you see some white text in the top left corner?
Hi guys,
I was given an Acer Iconia A500 with a boot problem; loop. At first it was reading an update.zip file that a technician had done at an earlier moment. Then, he gave it to me not working. I have NO back up, don't know the UID, serial, etc. The tablet has ICS original ROM and is not rooted. After leaving it charging with the Android robot, I woke up and the screen was black. Doesn't boot. Hard reset doesn't work. It powers on (white light), vibrates once and black screen/no screen. I can't get any flash program to recognize it. Windows XP, 7, 8.1, Peppermint(Linux distro), won't fulll recognize with the drivers; gives Acer MTP missing. Loops trying to install the drivers but no success. PLEASE, SOMEONE, HELP ME!!!
Anyone home?! Someone, please help me!!!
Unreal... No one has given this a shot.
Never mind, I fixed the problem of the black screen. Now, when I power it on, it stays on Acer logo.
Flash the patched bootloader via the babsector file - u need the cpuid too. links and info in root guide in my Sig.

How did you fix the black screen, and have you made any more progress on fixing your tablet? Mine is stuck on black screen right now. I can get into apx mode no problem.
Screen connector wasn't "seated" correctly in the pins. Still boots to Acer logo. I can't get into APX mode.
