Guest vink99 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 New member here. Been reading whats going and it would have been helpful before I tried to update. My phone is currently not working and the only thing i can do with it is get into the malez recovery. Guess I have to wait to see what happens.

Guest bishopdd Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I followed the directions provided with the download. Now I get a screen with an android and an exclamation mark. Also get the following error. /dev/block/mmcblk0 doesnot exist /dev/block/mmcblk0 does exist Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... Installing update... E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 2) Installation aborted. Do any one know what went wrong? when I do reboot the system, it appears that I have froyo, but the menu, home and power button do not work. Also the keyboard will only type alpha not numbers.

If you're on Rogers, my new ROM should be up soon as long as my internet doesn't crap out. If you don't want to wait, you can download the latest leak .bin file and use the Acer Download Tools, you can find both in this section of the forums. There's even a tutorial on the latter. http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...-gen1-05-01-05/ http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...-acer-liquid-e/ I followed the directions provided with the download.

Looks like the file corrupted on download, because it didn't even get to the second update.zip, which seems to be the important one.

Guest xaueious Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 From what I've read so far, there's really no reason to use this over a leak then... Unless I repack the boot.img.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xaueious Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 From what I've read so far, there's really no reason to use this over a leak right now... Might as well wait for the LCR team to pick up the binaries and repack this. Doesn't seem that different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kenship Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Question here before I try upgrading. I have a Fido stock rom, installed "Universal Androot" for root access and "Superuser Permissions", used Titanium backup to remove some stock apps. Will I have trouble upgrading? I ask because I don't have a spare phone and don't want to run into the risk of bricking it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem that different. for someone that can build kernel source you sure rely on people alot to repack your roms... and you dont seem to use/test anything but LCR its alot better than the latest leak IMO and plenty of reasons to use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest devoluti0n Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi there, I'm not sure to understand. I'm running this leak, as far as I remember : Acer_LiquidE_4.503.00_EMEA-GEN1_05.01.03. I'm french, and my phone operator is SFR. What bin do I need to download ? Rogers's 4.001.08.P.ROG ? Fido's 4.001.08.FIDO ? The 1.100.09.EMEA.GEN1_A21E_A from : http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/OS...&SC=EMEA_13 (which is a 2.1 Froyo bin) Or the latest leak ? What is the rom I need to put on top of theses bins ? I can keep the LCR ? Or is it better to go for the light version, from Alan090 : http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...roms-any-phone/ Thanks in advance...

Guest Chewy11 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Fido is the lower cost brand of Rogers mostly in Quebec not much difference between the 2. Nothing great to see really in these ROMs (all I have found so far is the space bar scroller tabs and no breeze UI). I have flashed both the Rogers and Fido ROMs. If you have LCR-F running.....stick with that! LCR-F is built with 4.504b.00_EMEA-GEN1_05.01.05 bin. Latest bin is: 4.002.08_EMEA-GEN1_05.01.05(I am running this on my Liquid E and It's running GREAT!) On this forum both have been reported to be OK with LCR-F ROM.

For bin: http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...act-collection/ you understand that when u flash a rom based on an older leak - regardless of bin your using it still uses the older files from the rom so from reports this rom is giving the same baseband as the leak (in answer to the above question - there is no reason to flash this for baseband - if u want to use lcr then keep using it - if you would like to use this release - as it is now u can try either my light version or the stock versions by me on the current leak .bin - which is much easier to get than the rogers flashing nonsense that i had to get rid of in my versions - so they work fine with current bin too - do not think people understand what a .bin/rom is very well) the bin is simply the baseband / partition layout and has nothing to do with the rom this rom is much newer and imo since its an official not leaked release - of higher quality than the leaks there is much reason for people to build / modify these roms - i mean you can make it lcr by simply taking the files from lcr like scripts apps bin xbin etc and integrate them in the rom the same way and you might have a much better rom anyhow for me this is great B) gives me alot to play with and will base my froyo roms on these until cm6 becomes stable Edited November 19, 2010 by alan090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest devoluti0n Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Oh, I see... But my question was more about the fact my phone is a french phone. I tought there was a story about the fact my phone would be simlocked as this a canadian version. That's why I wondered that. So you say me that there's no simlock possible if I just flash a bin, it's only a rom thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vovidaisu Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 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" :-) It is only for Liquid E. All official versions are only for Liquid E not Liquid A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest devoluti0n Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 It is only for Liquid E. All official versions are only for Liquid E not Liquid A1 Oh, it answers my question. I'm using the A1 version. So I'm going to use the latest leak, as I think it works for the A1 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
