reflash your rom, preferably in your custom recovery. if it still wont boot, wipe data then reflash your rom. that will work 100%
A very simple question, how to install any of the JB roms? Just because i can't find any good simple guide. And i am not familiar with this device, i know how to flash with CWM and such. (I have experience with other devices) But i see that there is someting with a CPUID and a SBK or something? Please explain how to install those roms.
I did some research and is it sufficient to install the acer recovery app to get cwm on your tablet, (3.x) and then install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930672 or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935582
WITHOUT patching the unlocked ICS bootloader?
It's important to get your CPUID # and save it on .txt file on PC somewhere.
ALL ICS + JB Roms have Different Bootloader then older HC.
It is best to go to to Unlocked ICS Bootloader. Do lots of reading.
A great method to use is APX, then later once on you can change your Recovery to CWM, TWRP, etc
But either way you'll Need your CPUID.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622425
Run a SBK Generator, enter in your CPUID #, and then Get your own SBK Code.
Later when using APX, enter your info.

Oke, so i should use that blackthunder program and get my cpuid and sbk. then i can use that program to flash my tab in APX mode? And is it dangerous to flash the bootloader? i mean, if your bootloader gets stuck on a galaxy tab or something it needs to be repaired.
I'm trying to explain it the best way I know (might be slightly Politically incorrect with terms) TRY to get the Knowldege as a whole...
-"ICS Unlocked Bootloader 0.03.14-MUL" is for Acer A500 Tablet (it's custom for our tab's) I would NEVER put another Tab's "Bootloader" on our tab.
- I think you meant Flashing another BASED ROM on tab...That is OK.
*** Example Thor2002 HC 14.2 is based on ASUS's ROM, but has CODE for ACER...
*** All Acer A500 JB ROM's (will be BASED on a LEAK from another source (AOKP, ACER A700 ?), then DEV adds/changes in some Acer A500 code to make them work)
-Fact (to my knowledge) : ACER A500 has not had a JB Leak, cus they have never Made a JB ROM
-Maybe a DEV would Use a ACER A200, A501, A700, etc ROM (which sounds more close to ours) then they USE it's JB (if there is a LEAK'd ROM out)
-Dev has to take into Consideration that Bigger ACER ROMS, Might not have Tegra 2 (Dual Core 1000 Mhz stuff) (One Had Tegra 3, some have 1200 Mhz (more Mhz probably doesn't matter) A501 has 3G (so DEV would make Custom ROM with only Wi-Fi , Rip out 3G stuff or change Code lines)
Back to your Question :
1a. I already have flashed a few of the JB roms on Acer a500 and can Flash to Any other JB or ICS Roms (Without changing BOOTLOADER)
1b. I only changed to my ICS Unlocked Bootloader ONCE. Never have to change again, (Unless I want to goto a HC ROM -then I would have to change to older HC Unlocked bootloader)
2a. Some Flash different RECOVERY's (but keep same Unlocked Bootloader)
2b. Current Versions Flash Recovery (for ICS Unlocked Bootloader) : TWRP-2.3.1.0, Thor2002ro-1.7.3 , A500PubRecovery-0.2, AmonRA-Iconia-3.17
***AmonRA v3.16 is for HC, AmonRA v3.17 is for ICS
Awesome ICS ROM: Lightspeed 4.8 (Acer 1.031 based). His ROM checks to see if u have HC, or ICS bootloader, then install the correct HC, or ICS (Kernel or boot.img).
The Way I Understand It is...
1. ICS Bootlader = ICS, JB Roms, Older HC Bootloader=HC ROMS
2. If you Start with any ICS, or JB ROM (the DEV had removed bootloader.blob + Recovery) so you can keep your Bootloader, and Recovery in tack.
3. if you are 100% STOCK Acer A500 ROM ({NO ROOT SuperSU or Superuser}, Stock Bootloader (which is LOCKED), Stock Recovery (can't change, or flash ROM's)
4a. In past on HC ROM's, many would get Stuck on locked bootloaders, and have to REVERT back to HC 3.01 methed, which means install a very unstable HC 3.01 rom just long enough (like 3 minutes) to get Acer Recovery (from market), ROM manager, CWM recovery...so you could flash Superuser.zip and eventually be on HC 3.2.1 with Stable ROM (or anything)
4b.***(NOW, we have to change out bootloaders to goto to ICS (for the most part) or JB {Exception example: Lightspeed 4.8 is ICS ROM (that will accept older HC Bootloader, I'm sure few others ICS have it}

I installed the unlocked bootloader and wanted to load up the recovery, but it gives a yellow exclamation sign in an android logo. Also when i try to go into recovery mode with a500manager it loads up Honeycomb. When i check my bootloader it is the unlocked CZ bootloader V8. Also i can't enter fastboot with a500 manager. It seems that i do not have a recovery. So i downloaded the acer recovery installer but it requiers root wich i don't have. i already tried different bootloaders like the standard revcovery and the thor 1.7.3 but nothing works. When i load up the tab there is something like CZ Skrillax bootloader v8 Loading primary kernel image.
Do you know why i can't enter recovery?
P.S sorry for bad english.

How did you try to enter recovery? "CZ Skrillax bootloader v8 Loading primary kernel image" indicates that you push just the power button. That commands the tablet to boot to whatever OS you have installed. You should hold volume down then push power until the device vibrates. Then you release power while holding still volume -. After a second or two, the "CZ Bootloader V8" would appear along with "loading recovery" on the second line. Then release volume.
Another way, and I've been able to replicate this numerous times on mine, is while the screen is showing "loading primary kernel image" to tap power and release it quickly. MIne would go into recovery that way.

The original question from you was how to install JB Roms. But you keep insisting on installing ICS stock (OTA). What are you really trying to do? I'd suggest that you help yourself by reading the relevant threads in here first before asking for more help. For example, are you aware that mixing unadulterated ICS stock with V8 is a no-no?

Sorry for late response.
I updated the tab with OTA ics, and used the blackthundr program to root, then i saw a option to remove the recovery protection. So i used that, and reflashed the unlocked bootloader. Everything worked! I could boot into recovery and installed JB. Everything's fine now. Thx for advice!

Since your problem has been solved, you might want to edit the title of your thread and add the word "SOLVED" so other members know you don't need help anymore.
Welcome to the “All Things” Razr I Index thread. This Index thread contains basic information about the Motorola Razr I a.k.a. XT890 to get you started. It won’t contain any KERNEL and ROM Development, because of the numerous kernels and roms people can make. It would just flood this thread if it happens.
All the work that is presented in this thread belong to their rightful owners. I just sorted them and linked the threads in here.
Everything that u do to your phone it totally your own responsibility. Nobody here or elsewhere can be held account for a failure in flashing, device bricked or a rom problem if u tempered with your own device. But maybe we can help if u ask nicely.

Downgrade problems JB -> ICS | Black screen green led | service required code currupt
Downgrading from JB to ICS with a locked bootloader is bad. According to a lot of users it will give u a bricked device. This is because RSD-Lite can also flash the motoboot (bootloader), gpt.bin (partition table) and motobp (radio?) and those 3 may never be downgraded only upgraded. Can only be resolved at a service station.
With an unlocked bootloader it is possible, but then again, don’t flash the motoboot, gpt.bin and motobp!

Unbricking JB to ICS downgraded hardbricks (Maart, 2013)
This is a unbrick method when u have the following message: Service Required Code Corrupt or black screen - green light. But be careful. This fix can help most of the problems, but not all because of the firmware differences. If it doesn't work for you, have a look at the one below. The owner and thread is still worth mentioning because of the finding of a possible fix, the many devices the owner saved and the discussion about the problem that came along.
Unbricking "Service Required Code Corrupt" (May, 2013)
A better documented unbrick method as the one above, but the same. Still won’t help everybody. But won’t harm your device more than it can and already is if u need this. Only for downgrade problems, everything other needs RSD-Lite or Jellybean versions of the files.
Other issues/discussions
Locked Bootloader, can't access Recovery
If u have a locked bootloader and u can’t access the recovery anymore and even RSD-Lite (latest version) with stock firmware (JB) won't work, there is no possible way to resurrect it, yet. Most of the time it means that you have a bad sector in your EMMC (flash memory) and with a locked bootloader it can’t be erased/written to.
PDS Partition Fix (July, 2014)
In TWRP recovery u can erase PDS. Never do it! Will be fixed when 4.4 is out.
Issue Locked bootloader
If u have any issue with your phone (bootloop, stuck on bootlogo) and u have a locked bootloader, try the following:
Reboot to stock recovery
Do a "factory reset"
If that doesn't solve it, flash your original firmware (JB) with RSD-Lite! Make sure u use one of the latest versions of RSD-Lite, 6.1.x. 6.1.5 is the latest (Augustus, 2014)
Unlocked bootloader
If u have any issue with your phone (bootloop, stuck on bootlogo) and u have a unlocked bootloader, try the following (all staps are on there own. If one doesn't work, try another):
Reflash your custom ROM if u use one (don't wipe) (Renews your system partition, stays of your data)
Wipe your data/cache in recovery (does what it says)
Wipe partitions system/data/cache and flash new rom (reflash whole new system)
Do a nandroid restore if u have a nandroid backup of the rom (restore a previous nandroid)
Do a RSD-Lite flash, use latest versions of your stock firmware and RSD-Lite. (reflash to complete stock)
H. DOWNGRADE TO ICS
If u still want to downgrade from JB to ICS for whatever reason, those are the most save methods, because we disable the flashing of the ‘motoboot’, ‘gpt.bin’ and 'motobp'. There are 2 methods, 1 is by RSD-Lite with a modified xml file and the other one is flashing all the files manually. CANNOT BE DONE WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER only unlocked!!!
RSD Lite:
Follow and read one of the tutorials for RSD-Lite and download your ICS Stock version of your device!
Set everything up and before flashing remove the following lines from the included XML file of the firmware u want to flash:
Code:
“<step operation= “flash” partition= “gpt” filename= “gpt_signed” MD5= “*****”>”
“<step operation= “flash” partition= “motoboot” filename= “motoboot” MD5= “*****”>”
“<step operation= “flash” partition= “motobp” filename= “motobp” MD5= “*****”>”
U maybe need to delete the following line also:
Code:
“<step operation= “getvar” var=”max-download-size”
U should be good to go!
Manually:
For manually flashing we need “mFastboot”. See GERNERAL (DEV) Tools for more information.
Download your firmware and extract it.
Now use the following commands in a command prompt. Make sure they are correctly spelled and return an “OKEY”!
Code:
[LIST]
[*]mfastboot flash boot boot_signed
[*]mfastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
[*]mfastboot flash system system_signed
[*]mfastboot erase cache
[*]mfastboot erase userdata

I. FROM STOCK TO CUSTOM ROM
See threads that are mentioned above for more details.
Backup your important data from your phone to PC or elsewhere
Get ADB, Fastboot and your device drivers working
Unlock your bootloader with the above method
Install one of the recovery’s
Install a Rom and/or kernel from one of the threads in the Development section of the Razr I Board through custom recovery.
J. FROM CUSTOM ROM TO STOCK
See threads that are mentioned above for more details. If u want to relock too, have a look here (only for jellybean)
Backup your important data from your phone to PC or elsewhere
Get RSD-Lite working
Download the latest official android firmware for your device. (Always jellybean, unless u had ICS installed before the custom rom and to be on the safe side, never used a Jellybean version, then u can try ICS too)
Flash through RSD-Lite
Enormous post hazou! THank's a lot for all your work!

To flash a working logo image u need the bootloader (motoboot) from ICS. But if u flash the motoboot from ICS coming from a jellybean rom (is using the motoboot from jellybean) u will brick your device. (unless as stated, u have never bean on stock JB or installed the firmware from stock JB and u flashed from stock ICS to KTR-rom. So u have the stock ICS bootloader. But i think nobody in this world has that anymore.)
The bootloader and its necessary files may never be downgraded!! I will make a point in the guide to address your question.
So, to answer your question. No u can't!
OK , thanks hazou !
There is definitively no solutions to remove this shi...of bootscreen ....
hey, I wanted to flash the stock rom with the rsd tool and I got my phone bricked, green light flashing, no code error message. Is there any solution for that problem?
edit: ok, I made a stupid mistake by accidentally downloading the ICS stock rom instead of the JB... f**k

A friend of mine wanted to change the stock rom on his old tmobile MyTouch 4G to CM7.2
It is currently running the latest 2.3.4 (hboot_0.89.0007, radio 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19), I unlocked the phone following the steps from HTC Dev website. And they explained that unlocking is enough to flash custom rom since it enabled write access to recovery, system and boot http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process.
I was able to flash and run both TWRP and CWM (twrp2.2.2.1-glacier-recovery & recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-glacier) adn used them to flash CM7.2 stable and the latest nightly and some other custom ROMs i found on the developers forum at XDA, however, not of them do boot. The phone will get stock at the first screen showing Tmobile and myTouch 4g logo.
I followed many threads/steps that recommended downgrading to stock froyo first to turn security off (S-OFF) but it won't let me since it is older version, then some says to downgrade the radio first, but that is also not possible with S-ON and i get signature error. i tried doing it from the sd-card using the file name "PD15IMG.zip" for the stock rom but didn't work neither from the fastboot rebootRUU thingy.
From the recovery i wiped every thing even system, then checked it to make sure it is empty, flashed CM7.2 and mounted system and there are the files as they should be but it won't boot, and "adb devices" won't show anything so i cannot see the log. which means it didn't even start.
Am I missing something trivial?
* BTW, i had to lock the bootloader again to flash the stock 2.3.4 back, but I have the unlock token "Unlock_code.bin" and I can unlock it again if someone knows the answer to this problem
Hello Zenfone2 community,
I'm still a little bit noob in the android world, so there are a few things that are a bit abstract to me, so, let me start to explain why i'm here.
Earlier this month i rooted my device, unlock BL (unofficially) and installed Cm13, but i found a dead pixel, so i want to send i'm to warranty.
So, today i started the proccess backwards, first i reverted to stock, then i flashed blacksplashscreen, then i "uninstalled" twrp, and finally i flashed raw (with asus flash tool) then flashed recovery, droidboot and boot and adb sideload .97.
My question is, did i really relock bootloader ?? How do i test if my bootloader is unlocked ?
I already updated, (placed the zip into internal storage) and it showed that i had a new update ? Does this mean i have ota working ?
Cumps
Bootloader once unlocked remains unlocked unless u decide to update to MM Beta
Unofficial bootloader unlock = will get ota updates
Official bootloader unlock = ota not allowed(u can update manually)
To check if ur bootloader is locked or not, just flash a custom recovery & boot into it, if it boots ur bootloader is unlocked if not its locked simple
Plz move ur thread to Q&A Section or ask a Mod to do it for u
so i heard that when you flash raw file , your bootloader will locked. you can try that then take your phone to asus service center to claim warranty.
Send ior to repair, they will not notice that you unlocked

If I used the official unlocker and update to MM beta will I get OTA updates?
Nope they will have ur serial no & u will be barred from getting ota
