[DEV/LEAK] ICS for A501

vache · Apr 17, 2012

Got hands on an update for A501, but it's update only not a full package.

If someone is interested to build and then dump the full system (sorry don't have time to do it) :

1. Download this files :

http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A501_4.015.15_4.031.24_COM_GEN1_1315884879002_1b385af8.zip
http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A501_4.031.24_4.066.24_COM_GEN1_1323422721450_50889c0e.zip
http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A501_4.066.24_4.066.29_COM_GEN1_1323422673354_fb18aaff.zip
http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A501_4.066.29_041.126.01_COM_GEN1_1334565825911_78adda1e.zip

(You will have to decrypt packge to extract update.zip from them)

2. Wipe all with recovery

3. Install all packages in this order. (don't wipe between installs)

I may be able to provide a full dump this week-end if nobody did it.

Edit : Flashable (full) update : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25050248&postcount=38

Thanks Vache!

paugustin · Apr 17, 2012

Thanks, I'll try to take the time to flash all this...

This implies that those of us who are on 4.066.24 need only force up to 4.066.29 and from there to the final version? It also implies that the software is out there for updating to the "real world" instead of just being leaks. Is this your understanding as well?

Sweet! Will have to find a way to do this.

Thanks vache for the leak! Glad to see Acer has been working on ics for us a501 users.

Lets hope I get the 4g speeds.

Install OK.

Android 4.0.3
Acer_AV041_A501_0.001.00_WW_GEN1

3G works, SMS works.

This build number indicate it's a very early build but it works great, seems on par with the latest A500 leak.

Glad to see that Acer is finally working an our A501 !

installed all 4 OK after reboot it updates EBT and reboots again wiping out boot loader and recovery image.

Shows
Android Version 4.0.3
Baseband: Cust.R3C01 Config:R3S/3 Conf:R3C01 Protocol:R3B01 App:R3C01
Kernel: 2.6.39.4+
Image Version: Acer_AV041_A501_RV26RB01_WW_GEN1
Build Number: Acer_AV041_A501_0.001.00_WW_GEN1

3g initially did not work. I had to delete and recreate my APN for data to work.

Thanks Vache!

Now, I hope all of you are copying down your UID numbers before running the updates.

Will make things a whole lot easier if you need to roll back

wornbat · Apr 18, 2012

What I also found is that if you try to go into recovery (vol down) it restores you back to Stock 3.2 HC Beware!

Also make sure you make a backup of all your stuff on internal SD card. the process will wipe it!!!!!

BPaul · Apr 18, 2012

Thank you! Good)

There also apears to be something fishy with the update as well with the bootloader.

If you try to flash the custom bootloader with the thor recovery img each time it boots it appears to wipe the recovery image out and it wont go into recovery anymore after the first reboot and has to be flashed again? (shows dead android on its back with door open with red triangle)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594873

Not sure whats happening there however it does come up in RED after the PASS shows.

Secure Boot: Image LNX checksum fail.

Is there some funnyness locking happening with this update?
What am I doing wrong?

Update: I went back to back up of my prior ROM "DEV][AOSP] ICS sources and build instruction for A501" and it doesn't wipe out the recovery image. Is this because the boot-loader is specific to this ROM as it is for 4.0.4? Any ideas?

You have to root and remove /system/recovery-from-boot.p or it will reflash the recovery at every boot (assuming it's the same as the A500)

Could anybody tell me if my ICS Root tool works with this leak? I don't have access to an A501 and I have no idea what version of the kernel this is running etc.
Thanks!

paugustin · Apr 18, 2012

blackthund3r : ICS ROOT 5.1 works on this version. I chose to run it for the latest A500 leak and everything went just fine.
Mounting /system works too.

BPaul · Apr 18, 2012

I tried wifi no work. Reflashing again :|

paugustin · Apr 18, 2012

WiFi works for me, if you had a custom ROM you may have forgot to wipe something.

1. install stock 3.0.1 rom
2. update to 3.2.1
3. make factory reset
4. go to recovery and flash this
5. wifi power on but no visible all wifi routers....

sometimes there are network. enter the password. all. again does not work.

paugustin · Apr 18, 2012

OK it should work the way you did. One thing you can try is to install CWM, use it to wipe everything (factory, data, dalvik) and install from there. I know it can be done, I tested this.

Hope it will work for you too.

Tried same.

paugustin · Apr 18, 2012

Damn sorry it doesn't work for you

Have you flashed 3.x using nvflash ? it usually does a good job of reseting everything. You can try this one : http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&file=99
