    Thread Warning: In My Opinion I9300XXEMG4 (4.1.2) - United Kingdom (BTU) just killed my SIII

    Just a "heads up", I just did the OTA update to I9300XXEMG4 (4.1.2) - United Kingdom (BTU) on my SIII. Working perfectly before the update on the previous most recent stock. After the OTA update, the phone gets as far as the Samsung boot animation and goes no further. Factory reset via...

    Thread A501 with ICS is bricked - Need basic advice.

    Before I start, I'll say that I have searched extensively about bricked A50x tablets and possible recover paths etc. There is so much information out there that I need to weed out the noise by asking a few basic questions. Scenario: The A501 was running stock OTA ICS and has been for a while...

    Thread [q] magicsim elite - galaxy s3 dual sim adapter

    Has anyone had any experience of the MAGICSIM ELITE - GALAXY S3 DUAL SIM ADAPTER? I have tried it in my SGS3 and a) it's incredibly tight and b) it reports "no SIM". It may be that I am being paranoid but I really don't want to force the micro-SIM and the adapter in too hard. Even when I think...

    Thread [Q] A501 ICS update process...

    Can anyone confirm the format of this update? Is it a complete, overwrite of everything Honeycomb in the system area or is it a patch update from a specific set of HC versions/locales to ICS? The reason I ask is that if the update is a patch update, it will not be available or apply to any A501...

    Thread [Q] Why do people expect ICS OTA to work on modified tablet?

    The number of posts that I am seeing with "I modified my A500 and now the ICS update won't apply or my tablet won't boot" seem to be increasing. How reasonable is it to expect that Acer should make assumptions about exactly what is on the tablet before running the OTA installation? Surely, if...

    Thread [Q] temproot for A500/A501 on HC 3.2.1?

    Is there any method of getting a TEMPORARY root for the A500/A501 while running HC 3.2.1? I want to be able to use Titanium to back everything up but not to change the ROM space and prevent the ICS update from happening. I guess I'm looking for something like Visionary for Froyo on the HTC...

    Thread [Q] Noisy auto focus since 3.2.1 OTA.

    I have just received the OTA update to 3.2.1 for my A501. I am sure that the rear camera was never as noisy as it is now when focussing.. It's clicking very loudly since the update but was almost silent on 3.2. Anyone else seeing this?

    Thread [Q] UK Latest OTA version?

    Does anyone in the UK have OTA 3.2.1 yet on a stock, unmodified A501? My tablet has Acer_A501_4.031_24_COM_GEN1 currently installed and when I raised a question with Acer UK, I got no help at all regarding availability of an OTA update to a later version. All they offered was a "wipe tablet...

    Thread [Q] VISIONary+ on HTC Desire. SuperUser and Busybox versions.

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to update the versions of SuperUser and Busybox that are installed by VISIONary+ r14 to later versions? I think that the SuperUser has been updated and I know that the Busybox is getting quite old as well. Titanium Backup had to download 1.16 to cover the...

    Thread [Q] Can you retain the original recovery image with UnrEVOked?

    I don't think this question has been asked before. I searched and couldn't see a duplicate. I am interested in rooting my HTC Desire with UnrEVOked 3.21 (or better) but I really don't want to change the recovery image from the standard. The phone is a contract one with a long time still to run...
