I've also checked what "fastboot oem debug on/off" is doing, it appears to just modify the cmdline for serial console i.e (and of course, Acer morons don't have it working normally, as debug off will do the exactly same thing as debug on - had to patch that):

tegraid=20.1.4.0.0 mem=1024M@0M androidboot.serialno=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX video=tegrafb console=none debug_uartport=hsport usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 lp0_vec=8192@0x3d805000 tegra_fbmem=8197120@0x3d81c000 brand=acer target_product=a500_ww_gen1 tegraboot=sdmmc gpt gpt_sector=31100927 androidboot.carrier=wifi-only bootloader_ver=0.03.14-UNL

becomes

tegraid=20.1.4.0.0 mem=1024M@0M androidboot.serialno=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 debug_uartport=lsport usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 lp0_vec=8192@0x3d805000 tegra_fbmem=8197120@0x3d81c000 brand=acer target_product=a500_ww_gen1 tegraboot=sdmmc gpt gpt_sector=31100927 androidboot.carrier=wifi-only bootloader_ver=0.03.14-UNL

I've also removed the vmalloc parameter (useless).

Another ACER moronic thing. Erasing boot (i.e not having magic string ANDROID! in LNX partition) will not allow you boot to recovery too.

Ufff, fixed that. It appears to be that if you don't have ANDROID! in LNX partition, the bootloader thinks it's not android (remember the images for other OSes) and therefore doesn't attempt to boot from SOS partition.

Could you provide a v3.12 ics bootloader who has the sys/rw and the fastboot properties, but NOT the custom logo, and only the version info on the top left? (Like your 3.11 version)

Thx in advance

The systemRW protection ? If that is what you mean it is not in the bootloader but boot.img.

Idd, my bad.

So to be complete : just the patched ics v3.12 unlocked bootloader, with original ACER logo and ONLY the version text on top.

Thanks in advance

New bootloader with iPad4 logo is coming.......

HA HA! Because you ain't stock... and you're far from it in a joking way of course...

I suspect though, when things settle down, we will get some instructions on how to make our own bootloader mods. Now THAT would be spiffy

In the meantime, have to give a whole lot of credit to the folks who even make this possible. I for one, thank them a lot. If he had a donate button, I would throw some bones his way.

Actually, you could do this yourself quite easily with an hex editor, and I suppose Skrilax has probably much more valuable stuff to focus on.

Pick the unlocked BL and the original one, compare them, you'll find some major difference at the end of the files, that are obvious non code data.
Copy the data from the original BL, you're done.
