Going back to Stock Rom (bootloader v8) - Acer Iconia A500

Hey guys,
I searched the board many times, but I can't find an tutorial which explains some steps to get completely back to stock Rom.
At the moment I'm using the cm10.1 with the same v8 bootloader.
Is it just enough to flash stock ROM ?
Will this reset the bootloader and recovery to Stock?
Best regards, Markus

AW: Going back to Stock Rom (bootloader v8)
Oh wow. Why didn't I find this on my own? I searched pretty long because I was sure that someone must have written a guide, but I can't find it.
I'll try this and report later.
Thanks mate.

[Q] After rooting questions

Hi guys. I'm a noob here in terms of rooting and stuff. Plus, I'm tinkering with my girlfriends phone.
After reading through threads here, I was just able to successfully root her phone earlier using z4root and I already got TitaniumBackup so that we'd be able to prepare for upgrading. She currently has stock eclair.
Just wanna ask what rom would you suggest for better phone performance. Plus, what'd be the process when upgrading and all. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have fastboot or recovery? I think you'll have to flash a Fastboot ROM via KDZ.

Thanks. Another question though, what'd be the link for the KDZ/Fastboot rom? I really have no idea how'd the process go.

I've been reading the link that you posted and already have the things needed. So basically, I do the said steps first then I could flash any rom right?
Yes, any fastboot or recovery ROM.
Good luck with kdz!!!!

Knox Problem - I Can't upgrade rom

Letter I sent to Samsung - of course not helped me:
Hello,
Yesterday was the worst day for me.
i purchased a Samsung galaxy S4 !9505 from i private store.
when i loaded the device for the first time, i got a push update to MH8 (with the knox)
i didn't know whats ahead of me...
yesterday i tried to upgrade the version to a rooted one.
and suddenly, the wifi and the sound in the device stopped working, plus i had problems with incoming/outgoing calls.
finally, i could solve the problem with a modded version of MH8 Pre-rooted, truthfully i don't care about the root anyway.
i just wanted to check what is what, because i'm new to this whole thing.
but now, every time i boot my device, i'm afraid something will happen to it.
besides that, i understand that i can't upgrade any future version anymore, which means for me that my device is half dead already.
i'm asking you, with kind regards, help me restore my phone to its original form, so i could enjoy your updates, and google's as well
my phone is in "knox warrany void: 0x1" state as for now.

There has been a solution to the problem?
Or I got stuck and I can't upgrade?
I'm from Israel, so if you need to flash a modem or something, just so you know
Sorry my english!
Thank you!
somebody please?
Hello,
There are serveral threads about this point, please read around...
You can upgrade to new roms with the ODIN/flashable roms available, or you can set the device status to "official" to receive OTA updates.
The only thing you can't change is the knox 0x01 which is suspected to be an eFuse and therefore non-reversible (nothing 100% confirmed so far)
for questions on how to flash each thing (ODIN packages recovery flashable zips and so on) refer to the specific thread
good luck

If I as usual I upgrade to version 4.3 via Odin official from sammobile (when it is released), the wifi and sound work properly?
And how do I set the device status to "official" to receive OTA updates on my current version?
Thank you!

Hi mate - As it is for know your KNOX warrenty is void....What this means is you will not be able to use the KNOX software/locker/container (whatever you wanna call it).........for the moment this is indeffinate until one of the brilliant minds in xda figures out a way to re-set it (not gonna be easy or anytime soon).....However, your device is not lost.....all you need to do if flash any stock firmware that has the new KNOX bootloader via odin. You can find stock firmware ( you just need to look for it )...Sammobile would be a good place to start maybe? Once you have loaded the firmware you should be able to recieve OTA updates but WILL NOT be able to use KNOX stuff.
Hope this clears some stuff up for you!
EDIT - Even if you have issues via OTA you can always flash the latest firmware via odin!

Yes you can install custom roms - but when you have a custom ROM then you are very unlikely to get OTA updates....which is why odin is a great tool!
I suggest you do ALOT more reading up on this mate.....people will only help so much....This is why xda is what it is....a place for people to learn and READ READ READ

I love this forum! I just do not seem much
Before I flash the MH8 Pre-rooted, i flash customs rom (almost everyone), and all was sound and Wifi, know why?
That's why I'm asking and I'm not sure.
For example, I flash the rom costum MH8, and worked (problems Sound-WIFI), and Pre-Rooted worked, why is that?
Thank you!

Could have been kernel related....I am not entirely sure....but this is wavering from your initial opening post - Knox Problem - I Can't upgrade rom - which has been answered.......I would suggest sticking to what you know works and as I said READ ALOT because you are not the only person who has had wifi and sound issues:good:......I believe your initial issue has been answered as much as it can now. Good luck in you search for answers:fingers-crossed:
Last one from me....have you also tried to flash a new modem to fix wifi???? Try looking HERE also!
Rom and LTE modem should be the same build number. GSM modem is region dependent and can be anything you like.

One bit of advice... please work on your English sentence structure (yes it is very bad )
It is an annoying challenge to understand you without repeatedly rereading what your wrote.
Now unto more important things:
1. Please fix your initial problem by returning to stock before you ask more questions.
2. Let us know if everything is working on stock and your device is back to stock form and function.
3. Read the howto documents on this site before you proceed to ask any further questions related to rooting or rom flashing.

[Q] Upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.4

Hi guys,
I recently broke my phone and now I am using my old Motorola Defy, and I don't like the original ROM, and thought that maybe I can ask here for a full guide on how to root my phone, install the right\best recovery and installing a new KitKat ROM.
I'm currently using a stock 2.3.6 ROM.
Thanks in advance for everyone who helps me

Require help if possible

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505G which I flashed a custom rom on about a year or so ago.
I have since tried to update/flash it again with no joy. My baseband version is (meant to add my baseband when my phone loaded, it didn't.... Its something like MEA on the end.
I tried updating it so many ways, all different roms, stocks, baseband updates, god knows what else and I spend a lot of time on it also.
When ever I try to flash a stock rom using ODIN it fails. I recently tried to flash 5.1 I9505GUEUDOH2 Full Restore hoping it would just solve all my issues but now I seem to be in a boot loop.
I honestly don't know why this has happened.
Please can some one give me some advice or point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you in advanced

Okay, so I managed to sort a sort of fix, I guess.
I used odin in download mode to flash twrp recover using BL. I launched into recovery and installed a I9505 rom onto my phone. So its currently working and I will probably leave as is in worry that if I continue to mess around I may brick it for good lol

My guess is you were flashing the wrong roms. You probably have an I9505 and not an I9505G.

My Zuk Z1 has died (it's always rebooting and I've already done every type of wipe)

Hey guys. My Zuk Z1 is always restarting. I've tried everything I could think: tried every type of wipe, tried to let it discharge, etc. etc.
What should I do? I was thinking to install a ROM (which one do you recommend to me) or to flash the original firmware (that by the way is what I've installed at the moment on my phone) with Odin.
In case I should install a ROM, could you tell me if there will be in the future the possibility of flashing the original firmware with Odin so that I can take advantage of the warranty? Thanks.

At the moment on the right bottom corner there's written "Cyanogen Preview 12.1-YOG4PAP25I". Can I remain with this build or maybe I should install a ROM or flash another firmware? Thanks.
Repeat the steps that you followed when you unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp. You can check that youtuber's channel(the one in the video I sent you)

Thank you. But.. is there a way to flash the original firmware? I'm going to send my smartphone to customer service so I can use the warranty and get it repaired and I'm afraid they won't repair it if I have a custom ROM (as I've always knew that you lose the warranty if you don't have the original firmware).
