Yet another Newb
I have googled / search / read many posts & threads over the past days & weeks.
I had a Acer Iconia A500 freeze @ the Acer logo screen like so many other have had, BUT I managed to fix it last time.
My mate has an Acer Iconia A501 ( so its got a sim card as well ) & its done the same thing.
I have tried the same process as the last 1, but to no avail as yet.
I'm needing some help please guys as I bet its something really simple , but I cant see why its not working for me.
OK AFAIK its all been stock Acer roms & OTA updates.
Processes so far..
Power on & hold down volume + & slide screen lock get this & then reboots
erasing user data .. erasing cache...
Power on & hold down volume - & slide screen lock get this
Bootloader v0.03.12-ICS: starting fastboot USB download protocol
Power on & hold Volume - release power button when it vibrates / starts to boot , still hold down vol button
I have tried the same update.zip file as my last A500 experience , but it got me to the android icon with the spinning globe for hours, left from any where from 40 mins to over night & same basically a lockup. then tried again & somehow got it to almost 90 ish % & stayed like that for ages.
Now I can only get it to see the green android guy for 10-12 seconds before he falls over & dies with the red triangle & black exclamation mark inside it.
I'm not fussed on what rom etc or even stock acer again as I can OTA it back up to last again.
I would just like it to work again & see where I am going wrong...
