Liquid bricked ?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I tried a stupid thing and now my liquid doesn't seem to be usable anymore ...

Explanations :

Installed the newest bin + flashing LCR 1.4 = fail.

I tried to flash the LCR 1.4 over the bin, to see if it would work (no it doesn't :P) and like I expected : baseband unknown. I tought : Ok, no problem I'll flash the bin again ... But my phone's usb doesn't seem to work anymore ! When I connect to my PC (I also tryed on another PCs and on Ubuntu) the phone doesn't react. It acts like if I was recharging the battery. Here's the problem because to flash the bin I need to connect trough usb (the acer tool doesn't recognize it) ...

I then went into malez recovery, I tried the USB mass storage thing and that worked, but that couldnt help me. That makes me just access to SDCard, but it means there is no hardware problem. I then tryed to restore a nandroid backup (stupid but why not) and it didn't work ...

Anyone has an idea ?

Ok I have an idea about what to do, I just need to be able to boot in bootloader with buttons ?

Similar situation, though i was flashing new ROM over vanilla 1.6

Eventually, after booting in fasboot mode (back+camera+power), i flashed malez recovery

Booting in recovery mode after that made phone discoverable and it upgraded without any troubles

Do have tried to come into the Bootloader?

Shut your Liquid off.

- Let the USB Cable plugged in!

- press Power Button while you pressing Camera Button and the "Back" Button/Softkey.

Then you should have access to the Bootloader and can try to flash your Phone again with the Acer Tool.

Thank you m106.

I can access the bootloader menu but the pc still doesn't connect to the liquid! I can just send manual fastboot commands.

Ok, then try to install the lastest Malez Recovery with this command:

fastboot -i 0x0502 flash recovery malezRecovery_0.5.3.img and then go into the Recovery Mode and try flash the Firmware again with the Acer Tool.

Can I install the Malez Recovery also if I don't have an eclair rom? I never updated to 2.1, I'm still with 1.6 and I don't now if the new recovery fits it. Thanks!

Ok, I'm near the solution, I hope :)

I installed the last Malez Recovery and the PC connected to the liquid.

Than I ran the Acer Tool and it recognized the Liquid. I tried to install the last 1.6 official ROM (2.000.16) and it was all ok until Fastboot, where it freezes!!! (It freezed here also yesterday while I was installing the last 2.1 rom and than I had all the problems.) I'm just waiting, but it stopped, I must manually close and reboot it! ;)

Maybe now it wrote the old baseband so I can use the radio...

Any idea please?

Yes! I was right! :) Now I have a baseband (A1-02.01.03) so the radio functions work! ;)

Now just a bigger problem: why can't I upgrade? why do it freeze while fastboot flash? :(

Many thanks to m106, umair9001 and Malez!!!! :D

How were you able to get back the baseband? I am at the same status that you were earlier.

The phone boots, but I don't have baseband, and Acer tool doesn't recognize it while it's connected to the USB

I installed Malez recovery from command line using fastboot, what's the next step?

...

Never mind, meanwhile I figured it out.

Good! :)

Are you now able to flash a new rom without issues? I still can't!
