Acer Liquid Gallant Duo - Bricked at boot time

[Guest frakie]

After rooting the phone I followed these instructions http://www.aaviah.co...or-amazing.html to hide the soft buttons, and while replacing the framework-res.apk something went wrong, the phone rebooted exactly in that moment :o ..

And now it gets stuck at the green "acer" sign at boot time :( ...

I already replaced the framework-res-apk file with the original one via adb, but it didn't work..

What can I do now to make it start again?

Do you have adb access?

Yes, after starting recovery mode I'm able to use adb command.

adb shell doesn't work, so I'm just able to send or get files.

Maybe I'm just unlucky but it seems to be something worse than a bad apk file.

enter recovery mode: wipe data/cache, the reboot

No effect. Always stuck at boot time.

But there is a difference: this time it doesn't get the green "acer" logo, but after the white one the display turns black and the phone stops there.

Yes, but it's really strange not to find anything else in system/bin directory...

[Guest frakie]

Maybe someone knows if the original ROM is available somewhere?

[Guest sbavi]

have you sure that command to push framework-res.apk on \system\framework are correct?

maybe you can try to pull out file and compare it with original

at moment only beta release on vache ftp site

Beta? I'm talking about the ORIGINAL rom.

Or maybe there is an official acer tool to recovery and reinstall everything?

Yes it's the same (the original one) I put last time.

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Sounds like it's failing to mount the /system partition.

I have lent a friend my Duo or i'd make you a stock system image using the flash tool... somebody else can read theirs using my scatter file...

Have the system.img file to be bound to the ANDROID item in your scatter file?

[Guest frakie]

I'm starting to think I have to throw it away from the window...

[Guest Frankish]

Don't do that send me it instead!

[Guest frakie]

Hey Paul, no news for me?

[Guest laurentm6]

Isn't there problem to restore a backup from someone else phone?

I'v read that a guy has big problems with bad IMEI codes, after restoring from a backup found on the web...

[Guest aldaweb]

If this is anything like the X310e (one of the chinese dual SIM MTK6575 phones) then there are tools around to correct the IMEIs if they get changed. They are stored in a file (not got the details to hand) which can be backed up and restored on the chinese ones.
