Guest SLBoy Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi so I bought this phone, played around with the roms and all that and now looks like I'm gonna have to return it to the store, problem is the phone has the t&l metal 2.3.6 13 AOSP rom installed and I can't seem to be able to return to the stock rom, tried the SD download mode but I get an "image dir not found" error, then Acer's official update tool and it says I don't have enough room, then tried Acer download tool but I get an " no partitionTable file" error (see attachment also), so yeah, can anybody help me please? :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smeelious Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Try to find a firmware with the acer_ug directory zipped in instead of the bin. copy that file onto your SD card and go to sd download mode. I found using the actual firmware installer (that puts the acer_ug file in) sometimes doesn't work...gives the "image directory not found" error.

Don't I go to recovery to install from zips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smeelious Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) This maybe? Don't I go to recovery to install from zips? Not for firmware. That thread doesn't have the right file....lets see if I can find it. http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=124 just unzip this file onto your SD card, and go into SD download mode.

I already did that as explained in the OP, I always got an "image dir not found" error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SLBoy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) In which case, have you tried downloading the official file from acer? Yup, with their official update tool or whatever its called, I got a message saying I didn't have space which I do (130mb~).

Guest Smeelious Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Yup How..did you get out of SD download mode once you had started the update? (This normally doesn't happen, even removing the battery, unless you replace the acer_ug directory with one that works.) Aside from jiggling the cable...I don't know what else to try. well...You could always try flashing a different version then updating. (An old version listed in the BIN sticky) Edited February 9, 2012 by Smeelious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hfbvm Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just flash 2.2 first with ADT. It works for nearly any problem. Even when sometimes phone doesnt get recognized properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, didn't even notice about older androids, thanks I'm gonna try it.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
