Guest Z3r0Th3H3r0 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Well unless anyone has some ideas I can try today I'll be taking my phone back to Rogers for repair. Thankfully I can get the stock bin installed (mostly) so the phone will appear to be unrooted :) Seems every downgrade bin I try however fails at about 80% completion. I'm not sure what fails because the phone reports the correct build that i'm flashing, I'm going to go ahead and assume that its related to the cache issue I'm having.

Guest deepfabry Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 ya but problem is now i send phone to assistance but i want to know , why my phone cache was corrupted why? i would not have same problem another time and and it is right to avoid certain operations if they re implicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z3r0Th3H3r0 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Well i'm not sure how you tried to upgrade, but I used the old version of the recovery image and wiped all of my phone data. I unfortunately missed the part that said I shouldn't clear the cache and thats how I ended up where I am. I'm guessing that something in the code for the 2.3.4 release didn't jive with the old recovery version and corrupted the partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, recovery had issue mounting /data, nothing related to /cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deepfabry Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) would be curious to see what we have done in common with the phone in the past also version of flash, recovery ADT used ecc Edited July 4, 2011 by deepfabry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z3r0Th3H3r0 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Once again, recovery had issue mounting /data, nothing related to /cache. Well I have no idea what happened then. I wiped my phone completely (including my SD card) before flashing the updated .zip. I did flash the bin before i wiped the phone though, so maybe it was that. Either way the phone is going back to acer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so I was lazy yesterday and I didn't want to go to the Rogers store. @vache, I have found a few posts on xda developers regarding resizing partitions. I tried to run the recovery.zip file that they created to do that and it seemed to work, but I believe the key combination to get back into recovery is different from our phone and I can't complete the steps. Is this something you could modify or do you know the commands that the recovery image runs? is it possible to use PARTED to erase the entire phone and recreate the partitions? I think I've asked this before but I don't think I've ever received an answer. Flash memory or not, you should still be able to wipe it and repartition it like any other drive..I just don't know linux well enough to do it.

(it's not really a good idea to launch such scripts as it is, phones have different partitioning) I can understand that you're disapointed, but be carefull :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's not really a good idea to launch such scripts as it is, phones have different partitioning) I can understand that you're disapointed, but be carefull :) Well its listed as "universal", but I'm at the point now where I can't do much more damage to the phone (if I do happen to brick it somehow, I can always send it back to Acer) and I want to know how to fix something like this (the other reason I haven't sent the phone back yet). The link is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874 There are a few other related links but this one seems to be the most complete. Also in this thread he (Firerat) talks about corrupting partitions and says thats its very straight forward to fix! (HAHA). He mentions the fastboot erase system -w (which I have tried several times and does not correct this issue) but he also mentions an adb command that I tried but can't get to work (probably because its a clockwork recovery option only?) the command is: for i in system cache userdata;do erase_image $i;done but when I try that command it cannot find erase_image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vache Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Could you try that : http://vache-android.com/files/Metal/utils...SuperWipev2.zip (flash it with recovery) It will call erase_image for /cache only. Once done, reboot in recovery, and then you can reboot in "normal" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mercutius Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi Vache, I still run your rom flawlessly since I installed it 2 weeks ago. I have nevertheless identified one small issue, that still bothers me : the top notifications LED. I use Handcent SMS, and when I receive a message, the corresponding led won't light up. So I tried Go SMS, but it changed nothing at all. That's when I decided to put up the Acer Iconia SMS/MMS update you gave on first page. And behold ! The LED lights up. Happy me. The only problem is... I find it ugly. So, do you know what might be the problem with the led not working with external apps ? By the way, the Iconia SMS/MMS app has an issue as well : when I click on the Social Messages tab, it force closes. Is that normal, is it just me ? Thanks !

Guest astuermer Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 The only bugs I've found so far: Sometimes after writing an SMS and sending it, the last word of the SMS generates a new SMS which will be saved as draft. I've T9 disabled, so no idea what the problem is... WLAN and Bluetooth sometimes doesn't connect. It shows up the "connecting" for a few seconds, then goes back to off. I've to swithc it on again, then it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
