Rogers and Fido

4.001.08.P.ROG

and

4.001.08.FIDO

I'll try to flash the ROM to get the baseband. Will report results in a sec. I wont be using the official ROM.

Unpacked size of download 640MB. Includes 'update by sd card pdf instructions', an update.zip and a blank raw file

Does not use Acer Download tool. Weird one...

Contains dual update.zip files, one embedded in another... And a blank 500MB file

I'm guessing it's a no-wipe

First update.zip contains radio mbn files. Second contains the system apps and other stuff...

Yes!!!

[Guest elban]

it reads 4.004.04.PA.FIDO on:

http://global-download.acer.com/Step5.aspx...amp;Category=OS

so it looks newer than ROG.

the question is will it work on all liquid e and will it work on liquid "not-e" :-)

[Guest luvandroid]

Yes!!!

YUP ... it's Official Now :rolleyes:

Is it different from the lattest Leak? :huh:

[Guest Koki1337]

It seems the option to select Android 2.2 Froyo is available in Acer Malaysia too.

[Guest Ramdanih]

Wooow... It's greatttttt... :rolleyes:

[Guest elban]

maybe we have now a way to flash radios separately from system...

since it's in update.zip format, it will need to use the original recovery and may not work on malez recovery.

but - malez could update his recovery by looking at how all this new thing works :-)

[Guest xaueious]

GG can't flash this properly. It expects me to have the stock ROM installed.

[Guest L0cu7us]

what is the difference between FIDO & ROG ?

Flash an official bin first, then flash this one. Or you could try extracting the bin from the installer and flash it directly.

I think we should flash a bin, than use the original recovery.

[Guest Thmz159]

whats different in this one?whats the Kernel version?

[Guest Jeras Akdra]

what is the difference between FIDO & ROG ?

Shouldn't be too much. Rogers and Fido are essentially the different heads of the same beast. You can move your phone from/to Fido from/to Rogers with relative ease, and Rogers owns Fido anyway. If anything, it would be pre-packed apps, if any.

I'd say stick with the ROG, unless you're on Fido. The differences should be minimal, but I'm a newb.

[Guest Dona']

Fido and Rogers are two canadian carriers.

I guess if I flash these I will be stuck to these carriers ? And I don't live in Canada ...

I don't think they'll be a difference in basebands though, only preloaded apps maybe

[Guest Jeras Akdra]

No difference in basebands. It's always been possible to move from Fido to Rogers or vice versa without a software update. It's just a backend change on their part.

[Guest xaueious]

The official bins for Rogers and Fido were never released.

So I can't flash this right now?

There's a checkprerequesites script that prevents it from being flashed or something else?

or maybe just assert(getprop("ro.build.display.id") == "Acer_LiquidE_1.100.03_PA_ROG");

I am curious whether this official ROM works in Liquid (not E).

[Guest jayziac]

The easiest way for most of us is probably to extract the .bin file (around 184 MB from previous leaked ROMs) and flash using regular Acer Tools like we did before.

[Guest elban]

as far as I can see, there is no bin file inside here, and no exe.

I understand this is an update.zip file which must be applied through the original recovery from acer.

I don't know if it's possible to create a bin file from it, but I wouldn't bother: it's better not being forced to use windows to flash our liquids!

furthermore, we might be able to flash radio and system separately, so it's good news for me.

if malez can update his recovery to flash this kind of "enhanced" update.zip file, we are really really fine!

[Guest xaueious]

I'm actually pretty stumped right now.

[Guest elban]

I don't have a chance to use acer tools now.

can someone flash a bin file (or use an updater for windows) then follow the instruction in the pdf inside this file?

[Guest jayziac]

btw, the version number is actually less than the recent ROM leak, so I doubt it has anything newer than that one. All this special packaging probably took them a long time to develop & test and the ROM build is already outdated.

[Guest xaueious]

There is no bin file
