Hello.

My MT died on me earlier tonight, and when I tried to boot it up it went straight to the android screen, and it keeps looping that over and over. I've tried taking out my battery, loading it, taking out the SD-card. Nothing works.

Some of my apps include:

App2SD
Titanium back-up

And it is also rooted using SuperOneClick

I have no idea what to do, so I would greatly appreciate any help!

I think you have the /cache full syndrome, try to flash an older bin and everything should be allright...

Okay!

How should I go about doing that? You'll have to excuse my ignorance.

Okay, but how do I flash the phone if it doesn't entirely turn on? I was thinking of loading a bin from the micro-SD card, but I have no idea if it would work. How did you do it?

you said it was just stuck on the android loading screen right? as long as you had vaches recovery installed just boot into it with phone off press and hold camera FOCUS vol + vol - and power and hold all of them until it boots into recovery, once in recovery reflash your rom.  again im assuming you were on gingerounay and had vaches recovery installed.

Sadly I didn't, I use the original rom.

you should be able to flash recovery with fastboot, i have no idea how to get into fasboot or the bootloader though.. there has to be a key combo

Alright, of the key combos I know there's one called something like USB AMSS download mode and booting from SD card. Would one of those be sufficient? And I'm not very familiar with Fastboot, I tried googling around, but to me it's gibberish sadly, I don't really understand it.

[köttflöjten]

Okay, I've figured out how to get to fastboot on the phone, but I can't get it to flash my ROM. I type "Fastboot update filename.zip" in a cmd window, but I just get an error message saying it was unable to load it. Should I have the ROM in a certain directory? Or is it the ROM itself that's not right?

[köttflöjten]

And now I've managed to flash Amon Ra's recovery through fastboot, and managed to put "OS_Acer_1.100.49.EMEA.GEN1_A22F_A.zip" on the sd card though the "USB-MS toggle".
Then I use the "Flash zip from sdcard" option to install it, but it fails and gives me the following log:

"Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (6 files)
E:Verification failed

Installation aborted."

I have no clue what this means. If it is even possible to install the OS from recovery.

Please help, I'm getting frustrated and really need my phone :X

Update: I turned off the "Toggle Signature Verify" option and tried again which gave me the following log:

"Install from sdcard...Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Can't find update script

Installation aborted."

Which acer rom did you have before issue?
First made a full wipe and then flash a custom rom compatible with your rom

I'm fairly certain it was "OS_Acer_1.100.35.EMEA.GEN1_A22F_A"
I tried making a wipe and installing 1.100.49 which I downloaded directly from acer.com but I still got the error message. What exactly do you mean by a custom rom compatible with my rom?

[davidevinavil]

Ok. So now you can't boot right?
And if you can't boot, you can't flash rom with ADT right?
To solve this flash this rom http://www.multiupload.com/0EMY97RZ65 with recovery..
Probably radio won't work because it's based on 1.100.49 but you'll be able to boot and then flash another rom with ADT
Obviously before flash any rom made full wipe with recovery or key combo..

I flashed 1.0.1 AmonRa and then flashed the file you linked, and it installed perfectly! I am indebted to you, my dear sir!

[davidevinavil]

Well
But remember it's better flash last upgrade of acer bin (froyo or gingerbread) and then flash over a custom rom based on that acer rom do you understand?
Sorry for my english :/

I think I do, so you mean I should flash an official rom before a custom one?

Edit: As a side note, is the rom I just flashed it with fine to use? The issue with radio is not really of any concern to me.

Radio issue I mean no GSM signal... If you want froyo flash last Acer 1.100.49 and then any rom based on that. If you prefer gingerbread flash 3.026.01 and then choose a custom rom based on it
