You need to flash your device for it to work!
This is the Rom I used to get netflix working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131230
I recommend to use Titanium Backup, this Rom is Rooted but i can not get CWM working.
Netflix app used with the Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
Use this one "com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk is Netflix 1.2.2 (Released 6/15/11)"
About the Rom & App:
So far the Rom is perfect and great, The Rom has a nice style and is a little bit more faster than the old official stock Rom. Netflix works great on it and runs even better on 4G, Wifi is Great too. Netflix has been down for a while So if you get any errors saying the server can not respond on the login screen, try again later.
The 1005 Error should go away when you try and load the video, if you cant get past the login screen try the other Netflix app that says updated for those who cant get pass the login screen

PROBLEMS I ENCOUNTERED & HOW I FIXED THEM:
1) Calls would not ring or ring for a second and the Phone app would crash, but you could still call people just they couldnt call you
FIX: You have To Wipe all system data when in recovery mode, If that doesnt work go back a wipe data and re-flash the Rom again
2) Status Bar Crashes
FIX: Wait A Couple of Seconds and It Should Pop Up, DONT FREAK OUT! good your done it happens sometimes but maybe estimate once a week max twice a week
3) Bootloop on the Red Fish (Fugu bootloop)
FIX: Now I dont know if this was suppose to happen but it stayed on it for like 10 mins and IF your not seeing the bootloop just your battery bootloop unplug the usb, Wait 10 mins Then Pull out the battery and go back to Download Mode
4)Galaxy S 4G Stuck On Boot Screen
FIX: Well I accidently downloaded the Nexus S CWM (Stupid Me CWM Doesnt work on this Flash & Not Even my Phone) But if that does, Take out the battery and Put the battery back in and Get it in download Mode Again and Re-Flash it
I Hope This Helps You So Please Click The Thanks Button If I Did
Won't be CWM support as long as the bootloaders are encrypted, which they are on this build. Prevents the ability to modify the recovery to support CWM. Unless someone cracks away and delivers non-encrypted bootloaders.
Always good to reference like you did, do this stuff at your own risk and always have backups, I have Titanium but also CWM backups from KD1 just in case.
Thanks still kinda new to the Rooting and Flashing thing but great to know
Added A Some Problems i encountered, mostly because they were my fault but i hope this Post helps u
Thanks for this! I already had the deodexed KF2. I just installed the recommended netflix apk and it works perfectly!

you do realize i cracked the gb boot loaders modfied them upped them with the rom and all hell broke loose on the phone some got it to work sometimes sometimes it would just give u funky screen because the kernel is also encryted to right Just hacking the sbl and boot file isnt enough need to crack the kernel or sign our own.

I tried downloading one of those files directly to my phone so if an ota is pushed before I get home I could do an emergency install but no luck.
Is there a trick to using that multiupload site.to download to my phone? All I could download was the setup to use their system ilividv1.zip which I promptly deleted. Maybe I'm clicking on the wrong thing once transferred to that site?
Which link did u use? It's a big file takes 20 mins to download from multiupload

Try mega upload its the fastest IMO but only allows one download at a time, so never good to use when something first drops and everyone wants it.
I tried the second one on the list (megaupload) but it just tried to get me to download that stuff I already deleted.
I don't know if its because theyre busy or they're just determined to download their stuff to me before I can get the download I actually want. It started the countdown to downloading livid1.zip agains so I just closed it. I hate those download websites. They try to dupe you into downloading their stuff rather than what you went there for.
Thanks again anyway.
Any chance I could get away with installing the rooted version after only wiping cache and dalvik cache (not clear data) in order to retain my current setup?

I flashed in recovery. I checked the md5 first too.
I pulled the battery and fortunately got into recovery. I'll clear everything this time and try again
I've always been thick but I hope I'm NOT a brick!
How long should it be on that first white HTC screen?

I just hope it allows me to successfully flash a nandroid. :-(
Ok calm down so the md5 checked out perfect right? Explain to me your reboot to recovery, explain to me what clicked on in recovery to flash it....explain to me what version you are using

Sorry to get panicky on you...
I'm back on my original stock rooted rom now. Nandroid worked but those 30 seconds on the htc screen after restoring seemed like forever!
I used the wiki stock rooted rom. I'm sorry I don't remember if it was the top one or the mirror but I think the top one.
I downloaded it from megaupload.
I installed md5 checker from no and dis the checksum. It matched perfectly with the md5 at wiki. I understand the importance of a good download.
Next I booted into recovery from rm. It took me to revo recovery. I cleared cache and dalvik cache and left data alonebthe first time. I chose install zip and selected the htc stock rooted download. It installed uneventfully. The was a faint line drawn through simething ending in a 6 but I got a successful install message.
I chose go back then boot system. It booted as far as white screen with green htc on it. Let it stay of 15 minutes. Nothing.
Next I did battery pull, booted manually to hboot then recovery and repeated process except this time I also chose wipe data-factory reset. Same steps after that. Same result.
I finally pulled battery again and this time chose restore and flashed my latest nandroid successfully.
I've flashed roms before without difficulty.
You did it all correctly, sorry i can't help any further. You said Revo recovery? Is that an alternate recovery?
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
No - just the version if recovery you are in if you rooted with revolutionary. It's still created by cwm. The version of cwm is 5.0.2.1
I just flashed bamf forever last night with no problem but went back to stock s-off because vzw vvm wouldn't work.
Maybe I'll try the rooted debloated version on HTCThunderbolt4G.com. It will take me a while to calm down first. I had versions of my belongings being tossed out of windows by my wife if I had to pay stock price to replace my phone!
I do appreciate that you never left me hanging. That means a lot!
Alrighty.. This phone has caused me so much time and trouble, I finally decided to start a thread. I really cannot find an answer for my problems by surfing...
In the beginning, all was great. Then I wanted to root my phone...
I went here and followed these instructions to root initially.

(Stock Gingerbread OTA 2.3.3 Rooted)
I started to have problems:
-WIFI kept shutting off upon sleep. I depend on WIFI because I only have a 200MB plan..
Also, I have low signal in my apartment, so I use wifi calling very frequently. After about 10 minutes, wifi calling disables itself.
SO, I wanted to UNROOT. The link that said 'UNROOT' did not work..
Next, I used this link to unroot..

I returned to stock froyo OS. BUT i still wanted gingerbread!! I tried to use the LG update desktop tool, but it kept on saying that 'the phone was already up to date.'
SO, I ended up 'installing from zip' the backup that was made before I downgraded to froyo.. Unfortunately, this left me back at square one: A rooted gingerbread.. Exactly where I was before.
I went to this link next.

I used the 'UNROOT ZIP', and it unrooted it!!
Seems perfect right??
BUT, ever since I did that, my GPS doesn't work. It is unable to pick up my location.
I tried to 'restore to stock' using BOTH the option while the phone is on, and using the 'clockwerk mod' (Where you hold power and the down button).
I just want things to go back to the way they were.
I'm hoping that I can just have a NORMAL 2.3.3, with GPS working, and everything back to the way it was before I started this whole 'root' journey..
Thank you so much ahead of time for taking the time to help me. Your 5 minutes could save me hours..
try restoring to stock, 2.2.2, then get the LG Updater tool to "Recovery Phone" which is at "Customer Support" and the last one, enter your phone model, and serial number, and it should recover it to stock with no problems for you. Good Luck.
Wifi is suppose to shut off on sleep mode unless you configure it not to.

Thanks. Hopefully it works.
It still says 'Update not required' after I use the recovery version.
It is saying that because just flashing 2.2 you are still on the July baseband which is telling the software you are on the latest. You should be able to find a stock nandriod in the forum somewhere to flash Gingerbread stock.

I was unable to find such a thread. I decided just to root it and go with the 'eagle' and deal with random problems..
However, the front facing camera keeps on stretching the picture..
Any thoughts?
FFC issues are common on non-stock roms trying to use LG camera instead of Android stock camera. Rooting your phone cannot cause wifi issues, etc. unless you made some errant changes to system files. Rooting does nothing but allow you or programs to get what is called in the Linux world SuperUser permissions. It allows you or the program to change or do anything it wants and removes the restrictions placed on the handset by the manufacturer and/or Google. All the rooting process does is add two files to your system and set the proper permission for su to be able to become root. The SuperUser.apk is the gateway to root. It is there to protect you from malicious programs getting root, as you have to approve all root access requests. It is actually very safe unless you do something stupid.

Hi All,
Really sorry to post a new thread about this, but I am unable to add a post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911437
So, followed Member - OPs guide to manually update my A701 to JB.
Simply put, the patch would not install (failed with a permissions error)
Put JB on anyway (just to see) and this won't let me get past the choice of language and location (Also, at this stage, SuperUser tells me system is requesting SuperUser access and whatever I do, it accepts)
So, used CWM to put the 4.0.4 build back, and that worked fine - though according to About Tablet I am actually on 4.1.1
I see improved UI speed and responsiveness, it's all looking great.
But Play Store won't run. Tried adding the latest version, still 'unfortunately stops' Also Nova refuses to run.
Has anyone run into any of these issues (Patch not installing, Play Store failing) and have any ideas what I can do to fix them?
Really sorry again for making a new thread in the wrong forum, I didn't see a choice (other than waiting!)
Thanks in advance,

Mate, it doesn't sound good.
What I would do, at this point, is Fastboot the 4.1 image again.. And stay the heck out of CWM. If you Fastbooted the 4.0.4 image, and you still have it showing 4.1, then you have a serious issue. So boot to fastboot, and try it again. Clearly, whatever you did with CWM, didn't work,
Installing a rom from CWM, requires certain things to be done, either in the install script, or via CWM.
Most notably, Formatting User data, cache, dalvik, system, and data. If any of these do not get done, chances are, the rom install will not go good. The basic install script, generally only formats System and Flexrom. This is because Acer distributes a full rom with the understanding there is nothing on it. Most rom modders know this, which is why they give extra instructions via cwm.
The big thing, is when you boot your tablet, is if it says which bootloader you are on. So you have to look,. You want to be on the JB bootloader.
MD
Thanks for the response MD,
A tiny bit unsure how to proceed. I understand everything that you said (well, I think I understood correctly!)
I have in fact tried to fastboot the 4.1.1 image again, and again I am stuck on the language and location screen (did this last night before giving up for the day)
I have read and understood "Stay away from CWM" (and I know that it is in this case only - have used CWM on my Gnex without issue)
Please forgive me if what I am about to write is ridiculous - this is kind of where we'll see whether I understood correctly or not.
I'm thinking that if the various areas were not wiped, and that could be the reason for the snafu, then it would be worth going into CWM (which I have been warned to stay away from, and which I would stay away from except for this one thing) and formatting the user data, system, dalvik etc, then applying either the 4.1 or 4.0.4 to result in a working tablet.
Or possibly flashing the bootloader to make sure it is JB
Or going back to the weird 4.0.4/4.1.1 hybrid which works but doesn't allow Play Store and finding a way around that issue.
Mate, I'm not sure which way to go at this point!
Fastbooting 4.1 is a dead end at the moment (but could that be a bootloader issue....)
Fastbooting 4.0.4 gives me the hybrid (though I can check this again tonight)
BTW, the only CWM Rom work I have tried to do has been with the patched update (second downloadable file I think) - everything else has been done via ADB
So.....CWM to wipe/format caches? (I'm thinking 'NO! DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID ABOUT STAYING AWAY FROM CWM????' but I'm asking anyway!)
Flash a new bootloader on? If so, any idea where I would find it (will obviously search here and Google)
Thanks anyway, and thanks in advance if you have any more advice. I really do appreciate the support!
Al
Well Al,
This is perplexing to say the least. Clearly fastbooting the 411 results in frozen at the wizard. My question, when you have the unlocked bootloader, does it say JBxxxxxxxx unlock mode when you boot the tab? Because it should. If it doesn't, then you're still on ICS bootloader. And will have to do the CWM thing to get JB installed. The 411 image flash, is to get a rooted version.
And this is the point. Personally, I do not trust the CWM's at this point. That's just me (already bricked 1 tab 3 months ago with a faulty CWM) I know the folks with ICS are using Pawitp's CWM, and haven't reported issues. But I don't know if they are doing wipes or not.
As with the 404 image, well, why playstore doesn't work is perplexing. You could try reinstalling the playstore via manual method (root required). Which is to delete the vending.apk, install a new vending.apk (making sure permissions are the same as the other files), then reboot. Go to settings, wipe the playstore cache's. Then try Playstore again. This was an old method we used with market issues in HC.
Personally, I feel the issue is with the wipes before running the patch. But I would hate you do the wipes and formats, then discover the emmc chip bricked. So it's 50/50.
But heck, you have warranty. Just install some update.zip, and it resets your bootloader so service doesn't complain
Wish I could give you a definitive answer, but these processes are too new.

Hi MD,
Thanks for such a speedy and useful response!
Warranty: nope! I'm in China, bought the tablet in Shanghai (now way down south in Shenzhen) and it was a dodgy deal to say the least. I suspect they were being lifted from the factory. No complaints from me about this, or about any difficulties caused by rooting/flashing/CWM. My choice of action all the way along and I am aware of the risks
Just flashed 404 again and it is fine so far, again very nice and smooth. Going to look at the Play Store and see how it behaves, see what I can do as far as vending.apk is concerned (although I'm lost when it comes to permissions. Obviously I know what permissions are in tech terms, but no idea where they would be set, how to change them, what to use as a reference) I figure this is the path of least resistance for right now.
Then I'm going to see if I can apply the standard A701 update to JB (which I won't be able to because of rooting/unlocking but I will fiddle around) and see if I have any joy.
Got my keen eyed gf to check the message on boot, you were right that with the 411 image applied it still had an ICS bootloader, so that's good to know if I want to try going back to the flashed JB image. However, I have no idea how to flash the JB bootloader/kernel, and the CWM process for the patched update fails each time (despite editing the first line of the necessary file in META-INF/Google/Android)
So, I will keep you up to date with progress. Fingers crossed!!!

Quick update.
Play Store seemed fine for quite a long time (although I didn't download anything, I was able to browse no problem)
Went to install my back up of Nova, and of course had to tick 'Unknown Sources'
As soon as I did that, allowing installation of apps not downloaded from the play store, I got the 'Unfortunately Play Store has stopped working' message. Before I installed anything else, immediately I ticked that box.
Unticked it, but still not working - installed Nova, not working.
So....

Well, seems like Nova is the culprit. I assume you are talking about nova launcher? Or nova the game?
Hi MD
Yes, Nova launcher but no, it's not the culprit. At least I don't think so.
The play store stopped as soon as I ticked 'Install from unknown sources', before I installed Nova.
Very odd.
Quick questions:
1) Any advice/links/downloads for changing to JB bootloader if I apply the 4.1.1 again? Given that I cannot run the patched update/flash from CWM, I am guessing I would need to directly install/flash the bootloader from ADB...
2) Don't kill me for asking this. I know to stay away from CWM, I have seen you post it a good few times here, I heed the warning....BUT.....
Given that I have CWM installed and it's working ok (apart from failing to apply updates) - I have 6.0.1.4 - many of the guides to updating the 701 say it needs 6.0.1.1. Would the slightly more recent version of CWM make a difference in terms of success or failure of the update? Update is failing with a 'set_perm:some changes failed' very early in the update.
Seriously, I am being extremely wary of CWM, it's just that currently I have a slightly disabled tablet and it would be great to get this sorted.
Thanks, once again, for all your help,
Al
Update again, put 404 back on (after issue with play store and unknown sources)
Opened play store, downloaded Apex launcher - all good.
Ran Apex, all good....then suddenly Play Store stops, Apex stops, never to return.
With 404 img on, About Tablet still says 4.1.1
The saga continues!!
Aaaand that's the end of that!
Put 4.1.1 back on, pushed the boot.img from the official update.
Now no CWM, so it seems no recovery mode....if I try to get there by volume down and power on, it goes into update mode.
And of course neither the official update nor the 'patched' one will apply.
Can boot to the first start screen (language/location) but can't get any further.
Maybe I can find a service center here in Shenzhen who can sort it out.....as I said before, no harm no foul, I knew the risks!
Thanks one more time MD for all your support and advice )
Or is it......?
Didn't give up, didn't surrender. Found out how to get into fastboot using frantic waggling of the rotation lock.
Just flashed 404 on again, waiting for boot to finish. Might still have a semi-usable tablet! Then I just wait till a 100% working JB manual update surfaces!

HA HA, you found the User Data wipe.... Yeah, a little known secret from the 500 forums.
MD
It's so strange....so now I'm back to having flashed 404 but the tablet thinks it's 411.
Play store was fine for about 40 minutes, I quickly got chrome, currents and BBC news.
I turned off the Acer ring and play store died...
But here I am, typing to you on the tablet and it's fine. And what a change in performance. It's most noticeable in currents..the increase in speed and smoothness when scrolling between pages makes it at least ten times better than before.
But the last flash was 404....weird....
I'll leave it like this for now. No market but at least it's not semi bricked!
Super Quick update - in lieu of finding a sparkly copy of vending.apk, I tried wiping data and uninstalling Play Store (reverting to factory)
It duly downloaded a new version, and worked fine.
Then I popped Apex on, the GPS got busy, and Apex and Play Store died.
The wipe/uninstall worked again for Play Store so to be honest, I am currently quite happy. Ok, it's not perfect, but if I can quickly reinstate Play any time it fouls up, I can still build up a decent amount of apps to make the thing useful.
And seriously, whatever changes are there (considering the weird 404/411 hybrid) the performance is incredibly enhanced. All the faffing has been worth it, it is finally the tablet that it should have been from the start.

The wipe/uninstall worked again for Play Store so to be honest, I am currently quite happy. Ok, it's not perfect, but if I can quickly reinstate Play any time it fouls up, I can still build up a decent amount of apps to make the thing useful.
And seriously, whatever changes are there (considering the weird 404/411 hybrid) the performance is incredibly enhanced. All the faffing has been worth it, it is finally the tablet that it should have been from the start.

Well, good news then. I think it's an interesting set-up. Hybrid. Still not sure though, why it pulls 411 from the build.prop as it should have been changed when you flashed the 404image. But honestly, after reading the OP's steps, I believe he references going back to 404 via CWM, and not fastboot. This of course would mean installing a full 404 original rom. I'll have to look over my JB system dump and see where the other prop would be. Maybe something changed in JB.
So if you can live with it, it's probably better to leave it be till we come up with something more definitive.

Yeah, totally agree.
Mate, seriously, thanks for the support and advice on this. It makes a big difference. Even as I sat there last night with what seemed to be an unusable tablet, being able to chat to you about it meant that at least I didn't feel completely adrift!
Big big thanks
