Hi Salaminomachos, version 1.0.0.831 in the market does not support video calling. I tried to install right now the version 1.0.1.1025 finded on the net, i think from Verizon phones, but we can't do it on our smartbook (at least i don't know how)

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately i have the same problem. Let's pray Toshiba will fix this problem
Have a very Happy Easter

Step by step guide

Hi,
I want to install the Android Market on my Toshiba AC100v. Can anybody please write down a short installation guide in form of a step-by-step tutorial?
That would be so great - I have already loaded some files - but do not know how to start.
The links posted at the beginnig to the russian site are not very helpful and the surely well done work gets lost as nobody can follow (except he is good in russian language).
The download links does not seem to work anyway.

Thanks so kind for your support.

Kai

just use google translate Google Translate.....

M4XonXD4 · Apr 27, 2011

Exactly, i did just that. I don't know a word of Russian (as indeed i know very little English)
The link is this: ****:// 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=226289&st=220
In the second post of the page you will find the link to download the third version of the rom cooked to perfection (almost)...
Is quite simple. Once you start the machine in recovery mode, you must install the drivers that you will find in the downloaded file, follow the instructions of the nvflash (is better make a backup of the original rom with the same program) and that's it ...
To run the nvflash utility you must type menu.cmd in the prompt, if you have Win7 like me...

some summary page from the same forum:

by the way... I do not know if you have noticed, that the same person who has cooked the rom, is also working on a new kernel supporting NTFS and USB 3g modems

Okay, thank you for your support. But where do I need to place those downloaded drivers to use them on the Toshiba ac-100? On an USB stick - a SD card?
Do I have to connect the Thosiba via USB cable to the PC for typing the cmd. commands?

Thanks, Kai

You put the machine into the recovery mode and hook it up to the computer with mini-usb. Windows should detect it and ask for the drivers which are included in the archive. Then, you can flash the firmware of the device. Generally the process is straightforward, but there is always a risk involved, that you brick your machine, so be careful. It is wise to use the backup command from CMD file, before you install the new firmware.

Dear Tskisiu
by "it is wise to us the backup command from CMD file...". Do you mean that I can use that to do a full backup of my stock rom? How may I do that?
I tried to use AC100-toolkit but failed!
please kindly help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards

Inside "ac100_flash_v3a.rar" you can find menu.cmd. This one works only with Win7 (other two CMD files are for XP, but they are just for flashing purpose). Menu.cmd contains "backup all" option.

Not only NTFS but CIFS (MS network share), EXT4, ISO, UDF and Quadrant score of 3100

Mr. Tskisiu,
Thanks a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is kind people like you (and silver-Alx and the other Russian geniuses) that make life with AC100 enjoyable for us newbies !!
One more thing; can i also make us of v3a to do full restores?
regards!

Hi Dear Tskisiu
ooouch!
when I tried to backup full/system, I got :
"command failure: readdevice raw failed"
and nothing got copied.
one thing: I used a usb hard drive (working ok) for the backup, would that cause the problem?
please help me!

did you try to backup to the internal hard disk of your computer without connecting the usb drive?

probably the script is having confusion between the AC100 (connected to usb too) and usb drive trying to backup data from the usb hard drive

Dear Donomark,
you were right! It worked after i took of the usb drive and set the target to be ./backup.
thank you very much for your help!

Hi, I seem to have the same problem - how did you do that in detail? The script doesn´t find the ./backup path and shows failure messages while running.
I have the Toshiba Ac100 connected (recovery mode) via USB to PC and then I got those messages. What do I need to to?
Please help an rookie!
Thanks, Kai

error message

Sorry, but I don not get any further installing the Market on the Toshiba Ac100.
I have connected the AC100 (recov. mode) via USB to a Win7 Laptop - run the backup script and it says: " connection failed NvError 0x30011"

What am I doing wrong here?

Furthermore I don not seem to be able to install the USB drivers - I guess!
It says (wind device manager) "unknown device" Where can I get those drivers?
And what is on the screen when the Ac100 is in recovery mode? Is it right that the screen remains dark and only the power LED (white light on the right side) is on?

Thanks for any helpful hints and tipps!

Kai

leufred · Apr 30, 2011

hi Kai,
first check if the ac100 driver is properly install into Win 7, here is how:
1) ac100 in recovery (flash) mode ("screen dark but power LED on") connected to pc (win 7);
2) press WINDOW Key and BREAK Key together, a window will come up, click "Device Manager", a list of device will come up;
3) open/enlarge "Usb", see if you have "Nividia....." there, if if does, then your driver is installed properly;
4) if you don't, look for "other device", then open/enlarge it, if you see "APX (with a triangle and a "!" inside ", right click, then click "properties", then click "update driver", .... then point it to the usbpcdriver folder inside the V3a folder, and it will find the proper drive there and install it.
5) after it finish, then go thru step 1) to 3) to check again to make sure.

Fred

Hi Fred, thanks for your description.
In the Win "device Manager" - under USB devices - I see a device called "unknown device" with a little yellow sign. When I right-click to update the driver and point to the V3a folder (USB_driver) it says - the driver already has been installed?!
And nothing changes. I have the google SDK package installed also.
I am going crazy - with this nifty little thing - with all my other Android devices it worked well...
Any other suggestions? Thanks, Kai

kyleumat · May 1, 2011

okay, now a different error message that says:Error while installing the driver software for the device!
"NVIDIA Android Fastboot device - the device could no be started (Code 10)"

Hm??
