[Q]PB Liberty Tab Recovery Help Needed Stuck - Acer Iconia A500

HI, I have been working on the PB Liberty Tab G100 for over a week.. I just want it back to stock.. no custom boot loaders or roms etc.. just so they can use it..
the story so far... I was asked to repair a PB liberty tab that was supposedly just freezing.. I think it had a custom boot V8..
Recovery was not working just getting the android dube with red triangle.. so installed thor recovery via fastboot..
tried the update method.. did not work.. tried everything.. but was having an issue with the wiping and formating...
I managed to finally get the cpuid by using a 64 bit version of ubuntu and have managed to get the SBK.. tried the recommended flashs A500 apx etc
but now i'm stuck in apx mode.. when i try to use V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm method I get the failed to format..
info found from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751978

I think I have an internal storage issue, or bad sectors.. or I am just not using the right apx.. and help would be awesome..
i have read so many forum sections and pieced together which has finally got me into the device.. but now I seem to have hit a brick wall..
so help i have tried to track down the bad sectors software to run in apx mode but cant seem to find it al all the link i have found are dead..

can you boot into Recovery? IF so then you can flash a FLASHible Recovery .zip file.
Do you get Bootloader screen saying your on Unlocked ICS Bootloader ?
Does your Tablet boot up to any kind of ROM?
If you connect your tablet to PC with Micro USB Cable, does your PC recognize Tablet with ADB or APX ?
it's good to show your info you posted, maybe be more spacific as to what you want to fix?
at least you have your CPUID #, that is good to have...CPUID: 0x037c7005435fa417

Another bricked a500...

Apologies for yet another thread. I've been through every "unbrick" thread and still not able to boot the tab. I'm starting to think it's time to recycle the thing.
So, I picked up my tab one day and it had powered off (bone stock on the latest OTA). Tried to boot up and never got past the Acer splash screen (multiple attempts). Tried to reflash via the sd card, and it failed. Now it only boots to the dead Android. Try to flash another rom (these are stock releases) and it hangs for over a day without completing. Now it won't get past apx mos, black screen with a power light. Tried to flash via nvflash using several automated methods, they all fail complaining of various errors that seem to be related to bad partitions. I run badblocks and get errors. Now, having gone through everything short, I go to euu. That also hangs on copying the image. I'm out of ideas. is there something I haven't tried, or am I likely dealing with s dead tab at this point?
Pretty much the same thing happened to me last night I stayed up all morning trying to fix it but I'm beginning to realize it's probably something in the hardware.. Odd there so many all about the same kind of time.. Mine was rooted and the only thing I can boot to is the first skrillax boot loader screen, or Acer screen..depending on what I did..guess its Tims for a new tab..any suggestions? Lol

I guess we can take the guts out and make them into picture frames?
I did the fix my Acer thing from the Acer website found out mine is out of warranty for sure but they got back to me with an email and a phone number and I called and talked to a girl who told me it would be 200 and $49 just to get it in the door for a repair. Needless to say I *****ed and moaned told her I was going to throw it in the garbage and she is now sending me a label for FedEx to ship it and they will look at it hopefully they will fix it possibly for free now lol so I'm going to be sending it off when I get the label. I've tried just about everything and it seems mine just isn't recognized very well by the PC. I wonder if I have the correct drivers

This is what I'd do, and this goes for anyone stuck on the acer logo or otherwise soft-bricked.
Run babsector.rar file.
This is the ONLY file that will give you an error that can be troubleshooted. NONE of the auto tools or the manual nvflash method will do this.
Once babsector has run, post the output and we can tell if its the dreaded hardware fault or not.
Download and instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049778
A great guide by kaijikun here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450119
If you get stuck with the black screen with the power led light ON.
Hold the power button for 5 secs until it goes off.
Re-enter apx mode manually (i.e. this means using the buttons, don't use the auto tools, it won't work)
It also goes without saying, you need the acer drivers http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3851 and the drivers from the android sdk, you can download a mini zip here https://www.dropbox.com/s/x98233x397wrzr1/Step_1_Drivers_mini_sdk_adb.zip
If you don't have your CPUID, there's no way of unbricking.
If you don't know what a CPUID is AND can still boot, read this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25429111#post25429111.
If you cannot boot and don't have your CPUID you need to recover it using Linux, see srbeens guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751978
Just to say, the whole unbricking process takes some time....mostly downloading everything you need. You will also need a fully charged tab, you can sometimes use 40-50% of your battery doing this. To be safe connect your charger and leave it there till you are done.
The other thing is your PC OS...there has been mixed success with win8 and 64bit. FOr best results win7, vista and xp work best. If you are linux savvy, you're in luck, no driver issues at all with this OS!!!
The only way you can not restore your tab to fully working order is if your tab has the faulty memory chip. And the only way to know if this is the case is to run the babsector.rar file.

Yeah same thing happened to my A500. But downloaded 4 files Because there was 4 to choose from.
I renamed the file, eg filename.zip, to "update" with no extension. Copied to a clean micro SD. Inserted the SD card. Held the volume down and power switch until tablet vibrated and toggled the screen lock switch on then off. Then sat and watched. The whole process can take 30 minutes and for a long time it seemed stuck at about 25%. I decided to wait and see. And it all came good.
My A500 was stock no root. Still is and seems to work better now.
:good:

Same thing happened to mine
Exact same thing happened to mine. No recourse since mine was out of warranty but I complained about it on an Acer Forum and on their facebook page and within a couple of hours I was contacted and instructed to mail it in. I had to pay for the shipping charges there (like 12 bucks) but they shipped it back on their dime and it was fixed. From shipping to them to getting it back was about 2 weeks. I was ready to swear off Acer forever but they manned up and fixed something that was obviously a widely known defect since it's happening to many others.
Dear dibb_nz,

Sorry u both having probs an I not sure I can help but.....
 @SyavsoN so do u get an error with the first bat file? If not,
run the first one again
Enter recovery and do the wipes
Reboot recovery and flash yr rom
What happens???
@mheister and everyone else with bct error.
Apxflash tool is the only tool that can fix these errors.
Normally u can use the default bct when u get to that option. But if u have probs with the default then u must use the bct from yr tab. So choose the dump yr bct option.
Thats about all I can suggest for u guys atm,
If @blackthund3r is still lurking around here he may be able to help out with this!!

Exact same thing happened to mine. No recourse since mine was out of warranty but I complained about it on an Acer Forum and on their facebook page and within a couple of hours I was contacted and instructed to mail it in. I had to pay for the shipping charges there (like 12 bucks) but they shipped it back on their dime and it was fixed. From shipping to them to getting it back was about 2 weeks. I was ready to swear off Acer forever but they manned up and fixed something that was obviously a widely known defect since it's happening to many others.

Try Acer dude, 3 users have had there's repaired by acer for free, even if they were no longer under warranty!!! It's worth a shot

Anyone know how to get in contact with Acer. I've looked around in their support website, but I can't chat with a support assistant because my tablet is out of warranty.

Could you give a link or something?
In germany there is a warranty of 24 months if the producer have given a faulty device.
But I've only time until tommorow xD, so some stuff would help me to get a functionally device .

As far as I know you just go to the acer website. Choose "support" from the menu. I've never had to do it myself, so can't help much. The other thing is that it doesn't matter if your tab is out of warranty or not, acer seems to honour it anyway, according to the last few users who've done this.

BCT create error... Help!!!
Hi, All!
First of all sorry for my English...
I have a problem with my Acer Iconia Tab A501.
History:
- once upon a time, when i turn on my tablet, i have a logo ACER...and booting not continued
- i had not SD card and decide recover my A501 from my PC.
- i look at tons of posts about this, and i use EUUS method (EUUs_SBK_Acer_A501_0.017.01_PA_ATT)
- i tried to run this EUUS many times, but obtain Error when tablet turn on from APX mode to "Entering Acer Downloader Mode"
- i tried many different FastUnbric & SlowUnbrick packages - nothing happened. (stuck on creating BCT, or lower formatting BCT)
- one of the days i use EUUS again? and it works! And i have HC 3.0.1
- then i put on SD card image.dat with HC 3.2.1 - OK!
- then i take upgrades from ACER with WiFi - OK!
- then i take upgrade ti ICS 4.0.3 from ACER with WiFi - download success, but when tab rebooted - logo ACER...and booting not continued
- from SD card put 3.2.1 over 4.0.3 - OK! AND I HAVE FUN ABOUT MONTH!!!
- but i want 4.0.3!!!
- insalling this version have one result - logo ACER (installing wia WiFi, or from SD card)
- ok many manipulation with others unbrickers (icluding BabSector) have one result - my Tab Bricked in APX mode and turned on with NVFLASH to "Entering Acer Downloader Mode".
Lower "screenshot" of BabSector, i have this now!
I don't think the eMMC chip is dead - this error was early, but 3.2.1 worked fine about the month until i decided upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3
CPUID and SBK - correct!!!

Sound like a EMMC/ROM problem...Just send it to RMA if you could.
But what if it's out of warranty?
I took out the Mother Board to a local electronics repairman, he blew heat gun over the sandiskNAND memory chip. I put it back together and turned on. To my surprise it worked.
You can find a thread link in my post above for further help.

Pretty much all 500 and 501 tablets are out of warranty. I believe maybe some few places may have them new, and sell them. But I wouldnt buy one. (hence the RMA post). But technically, if you buy it, it starts the warranty, so indeed you should be able to RMA the purchase.

Acer a500 stuck in APX mode

Hi, I'm new to this forum and pretty much new to rooting/flashing tablets of any kind. I have a Acer a500 with stock rom which just broke down a couple of days ago for no reason. After much googling and searching this forum I have figured out that it is stuck in apx mode and I've tried everything I can to fix it but so far nothing has worked. Suffice it to say when I use nvflash I get this error.

I assumed my partitions were corrupted so I've tried running babsector but am unable to start up in recovery mode after running a501 A.bat. I've also tried many other things but nothing has worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
procedure
for babsector to work you need to run A then reboot to APX mode - then run B if it shows an error than it will be a hardware failure

Just wanted to note that when I tried to flash using blackthund3rs apx flash tool my tablet shows a green acer logo in the middle of the screen and in the top left it says something like entering apx mode, but when I run the babsecter it has the normal white acer logo in the middle of the screen and in the top left it says entering acer download mode. Don't know if that is pertinent or not but just thought I'd mention it.
So from the results above does it sound like my tablet is just not going to be revived? Is it a hardware failure for sure?
hardware
looks like it
you could reflow the board just do a search in forum on reflowing for procedure
