Default did the power button and low volume and renamed update.zip . . . no cigar ...borked!

hi I borked my acer. root went smoothly, but then I made mistake of trying to enable adhoc supplicant. I downloaded es explorer and used remount to enable rewrite to system/bin. Now everything disappeared. It will still load, but wifi shows error.

How do I return to stock?

First of all, this is not a development topic, and thus you should've posted in General.

From what you've said it is unclear what your precise problem is! In the subject you talk about flashing an update.zip, and in your post you talk about wpa_supplicant.

Does your tablet work other than the WiFi?

If so, you should simply copy back the original wpa_supplicant file you backed up before you amended it! You did back it up right?

Regards,

Dave

I was kind of confused, too

@Author - please specify what your problem really is..
Galaxy Nexus
Samsung Galaxy Note
LG G-Slate
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N

Buy me a beer for rooting the Motorola Milestone or Galaxy TAB!

Also, it sounds like you may have not set the correct permissions. If all you did was swap the wpa-supplicant file with the moddied one for our tablet that came from the Xoom, then make sure you reread the thread and set the correct permissions that it calls for. And like mentioned above, I hope you made a back up of your original, which was something that was also mentioned in the thread. There should not have been any update.zip involved with this process.

hi,

if you want the original Wpa_supplicant file i share mine here :
http://db.tt/zQFDCcX

but, you need to change permissions on the file modified,
you need to enable "mount R/W" and
for the 1st line check read/write/execute
for the 2nd and 3rd line check read/execute

bye,
