Hey Folks,
I Googled, I really did, so don't get angry at me...
As many others, I updated my phone to ICS, and found it really disappointing. Laggy, choppy, and the UI was messed up in few places(like getting to favorites in phonebook). Not to mention the annoying notification LED issue.
So, I went and installed CM 9.1 and tried also the CM 7.2.
Didn't like it, decided to go back to latest stock Gingerbread.
What is the latest OFFICIAL GB?
I've seen a thead about 4.0.2.a.62 on XDA forums, but the link to rapidshare wasn't working. I tired one I found on shady site(yeah, I know, stupid), but it had issues with physical qwerty, and I just didn't trust the software of a random site.
Currently, I'm running 4.0.2.a.58, but I'm receiving notification about an update to .62 via the update center in the phone, but it fails to install. (probably cause I put in a boot.img from CM 9.1 package) Also, the notification is annoying as hell. Any way to remove it?
Can someone please point me to the latest, RELIABLE GB rom? Also, is there a way to put back the original recovery image? (working download links and step by step instructions for a noob would be very appreciated)
To sum it up, how do I get my phone to be like a regular, stock phone from SE with the latest 2.3.4 android?
And no, there is no Sony service point in my country, and the vendor previously refused to honor the warranty and roll back official ICS to GB.
Welcome to the forum. Thread moved, please post all your question threads here in Q&A in future.
Also normally common questions can be answered by reading the sticky threads at the top of General like this one as they normally cover all the basics.
Thanks

Of course you can't do an over the air update on unlocked boot loader, this can brick your phone!
The latest official firmware is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and for Germany (only?) .69 that you can download as a flashable zip
There is no recovery image, xperia devices don't have a stock recovery
You could flash a prerooted kernel for gingerbread (e.g. rage kernel), boot in cwm and flash .69 :good:

Thank you for the information
Now, is there a tested and working .62 image laying around? I've found one, but it messes with my qwerty, and I don't know where it came from and if someone put in bits that shouldn't be there....
The ones shown here in the forums is 4.0.2.A.0.42... (I have the sk17i model)

CWM recovery method?
tiliarou said:
Updated yesterday to KK and it seems to work quite well !
I tried using OTA voodoo rootkeeper but it failed to restore the root after update so I used the CWM recovery method and it worked great.
One annoying thing is that I cannot quickly switch the sim card I want to use while in the SMS app. I used to dropdown the notification bar and there were 3 buttons to choose (sim 1, sim 2, always ask).
Now I have to dropdown notif bar, expand settings, click on the Message icon and change the behaviour for sending SMS... Very annoying !!!

Hi everybody!
Like everyone else I had lost root after updating to KitKat. I also tried to recover it with OTA Rootkeeper, but it wasn´t possible.
So what exactely is meant by the before mentioned "CWM recovery method"? I´d really like root back, but nothing is said/written about what to do AFTER having updated to KitKat.
Every answer is very much appreciated.

It is as simple as reading the topic start / first post!
Just use the Flash / CWM method like aways/before!?
So download my (or your) scatter file and CWM recovery by vache (or Carlivs CTR) and flash it with SP Flash Tool (older version) etc. and install SuperSU from ZIP (SD) in your new CWM recovery.
Great!

I thought so, but wanted to be sure.
I usually use One-Click-methods, but none is working for KitKat so far.
Thx again!

Root Acer liquid e380
Ola
pode me ajudar por favor
estou a tentar fazer root no acer liquid E3 mais não funciona e não sei porque ja tentei com muitos programas e nada , pode me ajudar ?
Acer e3 4.4.2
I have the single sim version (1gb of ram) in the UK on Three network. I still have not had the kitkat update and many on the Acer forum haven't. If & when I do what is the best way to root it as I'd like to try out an app the supports part of the memory card to be used as RAM. Assuming these actualy work that is.
Edit:- just seen post above about rooting. Are the memory card to ram apps any good?
Thanks.
Kitkat already available in Belgium?
I've seen numerous post of people claiming they have gotten the kitkat update for acer liquid e380 in Belgium. I own the single-sim version and also live in Belgium but still haven't gotten any update notification. If I check for updates it says that I'm up-to-date. What is going? Hasn't it rolled out for everyone in Belgium yet?

Read post #3 above. Someone already explained how to.
4.4.2 Update Single Sim UK on Three
Does anyone know who is holding up the update for the single sim uk Acer E3.
Build number:- Acer_AV052_E380_1.006.00_EMEA_3UKs
Three say they have not yet recieved it from Acer. Would this be true?
That's the build number I had on three,that's not even the most up to date jellybean build,I flashed the 1.016.00 gen1 build from the development thread and that jb build was so much better than the three UK build,it also had the kitkat ota ready to go on first boot after flash
Hi Gary,
That's a Three branded build. I think officially you should ask Three for the upgrade. Unofficially I am quite sure you should be able to upgrade to the GEN1 release using the instructions in the thread.
Regards,
Nika.
1.016.0 ?! I'm on 1.005.0, is something wrong with my device? It still says up-to-date.
Acer_AV052_E380_1.005.0_EMEA_BGCs
Btw, will I void my warranty when flashing an official rom? I'm not new to flashing, but because I haven't flashed anything on an acer device I'm pretty much lost already, and I don't want to brick my acer either.

BGCs = Belgacom Single SIM device. It's under control by Belgacom, so please contact them if you want an official upgrade. Can't say anything about warranty. I would expect that if a flash causes a system to fail it would not be covered by warranty...what they do when the original BGCs ROM is not on it when you have another issue, I don't know either... sorry...(officially they would always be allowed to deny warranty as soon as you start doing stuff like this I guess)

Yes you will void you're warranty flashing the Roms from these two threads as you need root and a custom recovery,and yes this acer had me stumped for a while but actually this device is the most simple device to flash that I've had,using sp flash tool it's all done effortlessly in just a few clicks in just a few minutes,I've bricked my device so many times
Flash it is then
Ok I want to flash to unbranded latest firmware, or newer Jellybean & the OTA kitkat if you guys will help.
I have:- SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1344.0.212, USB VCOM Driver MT6589 & I've just downloaded 635475739172038202_OTA_Acer_1.0_AV052_A but this from from under Hackwerks sig so this is the duo 4.4.2 firmware. Mine is the 1gb single sim model. Is this the same or will I need different firmware.
A dumpties how to would be great. I am competent in these thing if shown how to do them. Last phone I flashed was Sony K750i !

You have same phone as me,here's how I killed two birds with one stone with regards latest jellybean and kitkat,I created folder on desktop and called it acer tools so sp flashtool would find it easy,then I downloaded the latest jellybean Rom which vache posted on page 28 of the dev thread and copied it to the folder acer tools,then downloaded the supersu zip and placed it in my folder,then downloaded vache's cwm and Carliv touch recovery and placed in folder,fire up sp flash tool and do not connect phone to pc just yet,click on the word scatter file then to the left find you're folder and click on you're downloaded Rom and click scatter file then click open at the bottom,it should all then load up,now click download,now,with you're phone switched off(blue led) connect to pc,watch the loading bar and wait for green circle,all done!,reboot and you will have latest jellybean Rom with the kitkat update ready and waiting
Nearly there !
OK I now have all the downloads you mentioned from the sources you did.
I unzipped the rom file.
So I click on Scatter Loading on the right & load that txt file in the rom folder. All the files load in the bottom window all ticked.
Does the phone need to be rooted first?
Where does Acer E380 - Recovery - Carliv Touch Recovery 2.5 & Acer E380 - Recovery - CWM 6.0.5.0 by vache come in play in all of this?
I need to know how to turn my phone off with the blue LED. (is this USB de-bug mode)
Does it all sound good so far?

I never unzipped the Rom,just copied the download to my folder,now you ask,I'm not sure about root,this method completely flashed a totally bricked phone so I assume root does not matter because when you do this the New Rom is unrooted with stock recovery hence the custom recovery downloads needed for when Rom is flashed,the blue led appears after you have just plain and simply powered you're phone off and plugged it into pc after clicking on download,once Rom is successfully flashed go back into sp flash tool(download hackwerks scatter file) and load hackwerks scatterfile like before then tick the recovery box,then click on the word recovery and load one of the custom recoveries you downloaded then click download,plug in you're switched off phone,blue led will show and sp tool will do its thing,you will then have Rom with custom recovery,place supersu zip on sd card and flash it from recovery then you are also rooted but if you decide to update to kitkat you must flash back stock recovery
flash
I couldn't get the flash programming to recognise the zip file, so had to unzip.
I'm not too bothered about root after its all done, as my Lloyd's banking app won't work.
So I won't really need the other files will I?
I still have android 4.4.2 on my device cuz my phone is rooted and i have heard i will loose root if i upgrade to 4.4.4. I simply don't want to root again. I have super su pro and survival mode is enabled. I also have xposed framework installed with gravity box and greenify modules. I have heard i can't upgrade unless i uninstall xposed. So my question is, can i upgrade without losing root n having xposed? Has anybody successfully done it? N yeah i have twrp recovery.
Thanks in advance
Has anybody got the stock firmware of Moto E Indian version? The file is named "Android 4.4.2
Blur_Version.20.11.14.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03" and can be downloaded from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=34
But that site doesn't support resume and is slow as hell and download always fails and restarts from the beginning. So it's literally impossible for me to download from there. Either give me an alternative link to that file (Googled a lot, found no mirror) or someone please kindly extract recovery.img from the ZIP of the firmware and post it here.
Thanks in advance.
I know I have to reflash stock recovery in order to be able to upgrade to 4.4.4.
I have manually flashed the 4.4.4 version of android using TWRP and using the OTA update from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/4-4-4-ota-update-zip-file-t2811397 which has been modified and made flashable with TWRP. Many thanks to Gogeta.
Problem is sorted out.

Hi,
does the update.zip file work now? I read firts posts and it seems has problem installation. Or is better to flash 5.0.2.8 version?

It depends, what kind of stock/custom kernel + custom mod you are referring to mate, this topic is quite old (CM9), for new stable revision (CM11) find ClockworkMod_v6.0.5.3-Cooperve ( accessible via my attachment : C7D971EC4CC8585A79903036C9AB9F82)
new version is based on MTD build, so old recovery as you mentioned, would not work on it . Restore back to stock and flash again with odin . if your sim card problems persist after flashing CM11, your baseband is probably old , so reflash some new stock firmware ( may or may not work )

Thanks for your reply mate...
I've tried 2 or 3 roms and got problem with space memory(only a few MB). I decide to back to a stockrom and the file I installed is bigger than the old firmware. Anyway avery roms I installed, leaves no space to install apps. I read about cm11 and cm9 thay are pretty unstables so I decide to not instal them (I'm a cm fan).
Could be useful to change pit files? Or do you know where find an original stock samsung s5830i firmware?
@Giobio, yep, most of the stock/custom kernel and roms are full of bugs, but I am experimenting with cm11 without major problems though. Getting OTA update constantly without breaking my delta is very good . For official stock firmware the only reliable source is sammobile.com database from best of my knowledge mate ,, just go there and choose firmware from top side and you will be directed to another page with couple of choices. If you know your original PDA/CSC/MODEM choose check firmware,, not so sure ,, choose firmware database , which requires fewer queries such as your preference country/region , model and OS type.

Thanks again, I downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile.com. It seems different from the one I found on the web so maybe the other one wasn't so original...
