[Q] Bootloaders problem

---

I'm running a FLEXREAPER ROM RF1, with HC 3.01 BL. Everything is OK, but today i wanted to flash a V4 ulocked bootloader, following civato's guide. Everything was OK, except autorotation stopped working... I restored my backup through CWM, with 3.01 BL, and everything became normal again... Can some1 help me to flash a V4 BL?
P.S. also after restore i found another problem? the ACER logo during the loading turned into this any way to fix this?

Civatos guide worked well for me. I too am running RF1 with ics bl v4.

His guide has 2 methods. Are you using the nvflash method or the blackthunder apx tool method?

That screen is a common issue running hc bl's on ics roms, nothing to worry about really.

That display is common on the hc version of boot loader. Its because the kernel needed to be patched to allow root. Also you may see some display flicker on occasion. Normal.

Ver4 boot loader and new ics kernel fixes this..known issues with current ics is auto-rotate. May have to reinstall the from again. Not sure about flexreaper, but the stock ota updates have a lot of this. Usually they reset their tabs. But for you, I would reinstall the rom.

So, if I'm right, i should install a new v4 bootloader and a kernel? But as i remember the flexreaper rom since RF1 has an already patched kernel... In which order should i do this steps? Sry, it's my first android device, so im a newb for now.

No, leave the bootloader alone. It;s ok, and has absolutely no effect on the auto-rotation.

I suggest, re-install the rom again till it works. This is an Acer thing. And it doesn;t effect all tablets. But it seems, the Acer OTA effected a lot of users.

Even on my 501 rom, I had 1 user out of 1000+ downloads, had the same issue. He re-installed the rom a few times, then magically 1 day, it started working correctly.
