Instructions

Step-by-step installation instructions for OmniROM 5.1.1 A500 / A501 - V11

How to install custom firmware from scratch, on the example of installing Tegraowners JB MR2 ROM v8t6

1.Install the driver on the tablet PC:
In order to determine the tablet at all and we could do something with it, see the sectionInstruction - Acer A500 / 501 Tablet PC Driver

2.Find out your UID:
To restore or resuscitate the tablet in case of unsuccessful firmware, or return to the previous state, see the sectionInstruction - How to get UID

3.Download the files we need:
Boot loader, recovery, firmware, gapps and kernel (In some firmwares, the gapps and the kernel do not need to be downloaded, everything is already installed in the firmware itself), in our case it is:

3.1.From sectionInstructions - Install Boot Loader and Recovery
Download the archive with the loader and recovery (Be sure to check the hash sum of all downloaded files, so that after it was not that the archive was broken, they were under-downloaded, etc.):

3.2.From the postJelly Bean 4.3.1 Tegraowners MR2 Rom v8t6
Downloading firmware -Rom_JB_4.3.1_TegraOwners_MR2_v8t6.zip, gapps -Gapps_JB_4.3.1_TegraOwners_MR2_v8t6.zipand the core isKernel_Thor_t60.zip(in some firmware, there are no separate kernels, and for some gapps already in the firmware)

4.We drop files on the memory card:
We throw the firmware, gapps and core into the root of the memory card (Rom_JB_4.3.1_TegraOwners_MR2_v8t6.zip, Gapps_JB_4.3.1_TegraOwners_MR2_v8t6.zip, Kernel_Thor_t60.zip)
if you still do not have a memory card, then do not worry, throw in the device itself

5.Install unlocked bootloader and recovery:
Through it, firmware, gapps, kernels, decorations, etc. are installed, see the sectionInstruction - Install bootloader and recovery

6.Next, clean the tablet from the old firmware, do wipe

Cleaning the data so that there are no glitches, bugs, etc., you can roll out the firmware without it, but in this case the author does not provide stability and proper working capacity of the device.
We go in the recovery (turn off the tablet, press and hold the "On" and "Volume -" keys).

To recover from CWM (ClockWorkMod):
Choose an itemWipe Menu - Wipe Data - Yesand do the same forWipe cache, Wipe dalvik-cache, Wipe battery stats.

Then you can skip, but for some reason, I do not always clear the tablet in the Wipe menu.
After we go to the pointMounts and storage. If your partition is not mounted (unmount), then we mount it (mount) simply by selecting it.

For CWM 1.8.1 Recovery:
1. ChooseFormatfor/ system, / data, / cache, / flexrom.
2. If you downloaded files for flashing to a memory card, then also select/ sdcardandreally format / data and / data / media. And if in the memory of the tablet, then we skip these 2 points. They erase the memory of the tablet, i.e. all that we copied there./ sdcardin this recovery is a section/ data / media, not a memory card. Memory card in 1.8.1 isexternal_sd.

For CWM 1.7.3 Recovery:
1. ChooseFormatfor/ system, / data, / cache, / flexrom.
2. / sdcardDo not touch - this is a memory card in recovery 1.7.3
3. If you downloaded the firmware files to the memory card, then also format the tablet's memory (Instructions - How to format the internal memory of the tablet, if CWM 1.7.3 is installed). If the memory of the tablet, then this item is not necessary to perform.

For recovery from TWRP (TeamWin Projects):
Choose an itemPartition format, then click on the strip with the inscriptionStorage: / system - Fstype: ext4 to ext4 - Size: 581 MB(the file system may be different, I have already formatted it in ext4).

Now we are starting to format partitions: click onsystem(you can also select the type of file system into which it will format it immediately, for this you need to select the file system next to it) and click onOK. Shift (do svayp) circle with an arrow and our section will be formatted. After format clickBack. We also do the same for the sections: cache, flexrom, data (if the files have been downloaded to the memory of the tablet, then the data section does not need to be formatted).

7.Installing firmware, gapps and kernels
To recover from CWM (ClockWorkMod):
In the recovery, select the itemInstall from zip files - choose zip from external SD(if you threw on a memory card and Internal SD if you threw in memory of the tablet). And choose our firmwareRom_JB_4.3.1_TegraOwners_MR2_v8t6.zip, we also install gapps -Gapps_JB_4.3.1_TegraOwners_MR2_v8t6.zipand the core isKernel_Thor_t60.zip

For recovery from TWRP (TeamWin Projects):
In the recovery we chooseInstall, then click on the lineStorage: Internal storage, choose the place where you copied the files. Choose our firmware and swipe the arrow (Swipe to Confirm Flash). We do the same for gapps and for the nucleus, if we need them.

8.Reboot and enjoy

Time Zones

In connection with the transition to new time zones, I post a fix that replaces the old list with a new one with 11 new Russian time zones. Installation through the recovery on any firmware.

How to get UID

Method number 1
1. Download this program:
Windows 32 bit -usbdeview_x86.zip(68.29 KB)

Windows 64 bit -usbdeview_x64.zip(92.14 KB)

2. Connect the tablet to the BB
3. Run the program
4. Choose sorting method by VendorID
5. Check all devices with VendorID = 0502 and ProductID = 3325. There will also be a Serial Number column - we need it.


Method number 2
1. Connect the tablet to the BB
2. Open the Windows Device Manager (Device Manager)
3. Expand the branchADB InterfaceselectACER Composite ADB Interface ->Properties
4. In the properties window on the Details tab, in the Property drop-down list, selectParent
5. In the "Value" list below, a line like this should appear:USB \ VID_0502 & PID_3325 \ 370014741c0d2d7
6. A set of numbers and letters after the last "\"and we have the number we need (you will most likely have it different).


Method number 3
1. If the tablet was detected as a mobile device / player:
2. Openregedit.exe (Win + R)
3. Find a section

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows Portable Devices \ Devices

4. We are looking for a type of subsection

USB # VID_xxxx & PID_xxxx # ***************

or
1. If it was detected as a device in principle:
2. Openregedit.exe (Win + R)
3. Go to one of the following sections:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ EventHandlersDefaultSelection
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ KnownDevices
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ UserChosenExecuteHandlers
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ DeviceHandlers

4. We are looking for a subsection

WpdDeviceHandler_USB # VID_xxxx & PID_xxxx # ***************

5. "**************"- the required UID without 0 at the beginning.


Method number 4
1. Connect the tablet to the BB
2. Run the following command using the Android Debug Bridge (adb):adb.rar(497.14 KB)

adb devices

3. As a result of execution, the following lines should be displayed in the console:

List of devices attached
370014741c0d2d7 device

370014741c0d2d7- this is the number we need (you will most likely have it differently).

It is also possible through the command:

cat / sys / firmware / fuse / acer_cpu_id

Method number 5 - If you have an 11-digit UID (numbers only) and have Root rights
1. Open any file manager with support for Root
2. Go on the waysys / firmware / fuse
3. Open the file thereacer_cpu_id

Method number 6 - If you have an 11-digit UID (numbers only), but the tablet does not turn on
Unfortunately, the developers decided to hide (mask) the UID under the SNID with the advent of the 4th version of the firmware, which is why there are problems with unbrick (Unbrick). But the sages with the XDA gift did not lose time and developed a way to roll back the UID to the old image, in general, it will be a kind of a full rollback to version 3.2.
And so proceed:
1. Download the firmware:
A500 -Yandex / google
A501 -Yandex
2. Rename toupdate.zip
3. Fill the archive on the memory card
4. Install as update via the key combination Volume Down + Power Button
5. We dohardware data reset (wipe)- see Instructions - Hardware data reset (Wipe)
6. Next, we do anything with the tablet, either we will know our UID in one of the ways above, or we will be updated and catch a positive

Method number 7 - Who are not lucky: D
Especially for those who are not lucky at all (the tablet died programmatically, for some reason their CPUID was not saved and at the same time all the computers to which this tablet once connected were dead)

1. Take any USB sniffer (I took USBLyzer).
2. Take any utility for the tablet, which requires input CPUID or SBK.
3. Run it and wait until we are asked to enter these same CPUID or SBK.
4. Connect the tablet in APX mode.
5. In the sniffer, put a check on the device "Acer USB Boot-recovery driver" and click the "Start Capture" button.
6. In the utility enter any CPUID or SBK.
7. In the sniffer in the line "RAW Data" we see our CPUID, but written in reverse order of 2 digits

example

So, if in "Raw Data" we see the line "57 51 3F 43 01 62 7C 03", then our dear CPUID = 037C6201433F5157.

Hardware data reset (Wipe)

1. Turn off the tablet;
2. Move the screen lock lever to the left position;
3. Clamp the volume up key (that part of the volume rocker that is closer to the lock lever) + the power key;
4. As soon as the tablet vibrates, release the power key, while continuing to hold the volume up button and begin to switch the screen lock lever to the left and right until you see these 2 lines on the screen:

Erasing Userdata ...
Erasing Cache ...

5. In the upper left corner will appear the lines start formatting.

1) Run the program using Afterota.exe(the tablet must be turned on, connected to the computer via USB and USB debugging must be activated on it)At the very first launch, the program will not see your tablet, because there is no driver, which will be mentioned in the Driver line (ERROR - driver not found). To install it, click the Install Driver button at the bottom left. After that, you will see the following window, in which we click OK, in the next window. Next, in the next window, OK and in the most recent window, Finish. Now we are waiting for the appearance of the window with the parameters of your tablet. Here you will see the following useful information.
Serial - serial number.
Cpuid - tablet UID.
Sbk - SBK tablet.
