ota update - [Q] repack

Does someone know how to repack the official OTA-update for flashing it via recovery? (remove included security and boot.img...)
I uploaded it to a private server.
PM for link, if you know how to repack..

What is in the OTA, who knows?
Didn't find any changelog yet.
I'm S-OFF and rooted, so OTA couldn't be installed by natural way...

I got a few updates yesterday but nothing propper, just a few apks. And I'm also rooted and S-Off.

Should I?
I performed the following steps today (with the help of this forum and its members)
1) I'm now S-OFF (used XTC Clip)
2) installed the unsecured boot image
3) Root (used superoneclick)
4) flashed clockworkmod (used ROM Manager)
After the reboot having taking my first Nandoid backup this evening....I've got the message:
Application Updates Available
- FOTA Client (Update)
- FOTA Scheduling Application (Update)
[Q] should I apply the update? will the update work? and does anyone know what benefits it will offer?
If I'm planning to flash one of the custom roms at the weekend is it even worth it?

Will not work because you are "4) flashed clockworkmod"
The update needs the stock recovery.
For that: download update, do NOT install, grab the recovery.img from the update in /sdcard/download and put it into the "2) installed the unsecured boot image"-file (PG88IMG) instead of the boot.img than reboot to hboot -> stock recovery will be flashed
reboot, install update - and than you can "4) flashed clockworkmod" again

CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4 for A70x

EDIT FROM THE ARCHANGEL: DO NOT USE THIS RECOVERY IT WILL BRICK YOUR TAB,btw i pulled the links
CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4 for A70x
Attention!
At the moment CWM recovery is not workable! Its use can lead to non-functionality of your tablet! For details see here.
Original article is published on this site and created by ZeroNull and steaven_zw (4pda.ru).
How to:
1. Boot your device.
2. On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on. Connect the tablet to your PC. Be sure to install the latest driver for the tablet.
3. Download the archive and extract it to any convenient location on your computer.
4. Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here. Then reboot a tablet.
5. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file:
for windows with the rights of administrator:
Code:
flash-cwm.bat
Recovery is installed.
Reboot again with Volume- and see whether you can still access recovery (or use the following command):
Code:
adb reboot recovery
PS: If you can not use this instruction, look here.

You're the man.

should the boot image be patched our does that not matter

Works great thanks for your awesome work again.:good:

Quick questions for you ZeroNull:
Do we have to unlock bootloader first (I suppose we do) ?
Do we have to be rooted first (I suppose we don't) ?
If we don't have to be rooted first, can we root after just by flashing the supersu.zip by Chainfire from recovery (I would suppose we can) ?
Thanks a lot, again.
EDIT: I just checked and saw that the recovery in this package is the same size as the "rooting.img" in the generic root package from you. I suppose that means it is a temp recovery that you use to root the tab ? Which means we can gain root from recovery so flashing supersu from this recovery should work... just trying to understand what's going on, for my own knowledge
EDIT 2: I just opened the .bat file and saw there was some disabling at the end for recovery.sh
I also opened an Acer rom and saw inside the zip that there was some stuff about recovery.sh
From what I can understand, it looks like you disable something that Acer wants to do. What is it exactly ?
If I reflash an Acer stock rom from CWM recovery, will the recovery be reflashed with stock one, or does your script takes care of that ?
Again, just trying to understand.

Still looking for a stock .017 US ROM image...

Since you are apparently still running the stock .017 US ROM, could you make (and post or PM me) a backup copy that could be used to re-flash to stock?
Thanks,
I am currently flashed and running the .025_EMA_CUS1 ROM with teh new CWM recovery... all went very well!

You'll have to unlock the boot-loader to flash a recovery, but you don't need to be rooted for this to happen.You root the operating system to gain access behind the scenes....A recovery such as CWM (this) is the first step for you to flash non signed ROMs (modified) without the system denying you. Then you can flash an already rooted (or tweaked) ROM once they are available, but as of right now there aren't any.
So unlock boot-loader, flash this, then root your ROM...

Sorry, but I'm currently running this: SDs_Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMEA_FR.zip
It is a french leak, but you can get it from the rom thread so I'm not going to be able to help you much on this.
By the way, did you root before pushing this recovery or did you just unlock the bootloader ?

No, you'll have to use one of the scripts in the rooting threads unless someone creates a flashable root.
The script I used automatically installed su and busy box.

Mine was both rooted and s-off... I am hoping the ROM development for the ACER takes off now that it is rooted and a recovery is working. Bought this over waiting for the Infinity to drop later this month (July)... hope it wasn't a mistake I will regret!
Thanks for the response.

You mean "stock rom", right?
If someone would make a nandroidbackup of a stock-Version, then You could recover from that Backup and would be on Stock.
You just need someone to be so kind, but i guess that ont take too long.

After backup using the cwm and reboot then reboot again to recovery it will boot the original acer recovery!
Is this temporary cwm recovery?
After connecting the charger when the tablet off it will restore the original recovery

In the original of Acer firmware there is a function restore original (stock) recovery. In my instruction at one stage of the script executes the CWM recovery. This is necessary, that would disable the restoration of the original (stock) recovery. If for some reason the launch has not occurred or the user manually exited from the CWM recovery, then system restore will not be disabled. And after rebooting the system will automatically be restored to the original recovery.

When it executes
Disable script /etc/install-recovery.sh
error: device not found
error: device not found

1. Do you have your device connected to your PC?
2. Have you enabled USB debugging from the settings?
3. Have you installed the Acer drivers on your computer?

I think the problem in version bootloader, which is installed on your tablet.
This problem can be solved in two ways:
Option 1. Change to another the firmware version, in which works command bootloader - "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Option 2. After running the installation script CWM recovery, when comes to message:
Booting recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
turn off the tablet. And then perform the following steps:
1. Press and hold down the 'Volume -'. Power on the tablet. After starting the CWM recovery - releasing button 'Volume -'.
2. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Launch from this directory the Windows command prompt. And enter the following commands:
Code:
adb shell "mount -a && cd /system/etc && mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.old"
adb reboot
Now CWM recovery will not be overwritten with the original recovery.

Totally new, here...Been working on doing this for an hour and just got it installed..Now I'm at the SuperSu step. How exactly do I install SuperSu from CWM?
Okay..Install the exact same way you install the other zip. This tablet wrecks my nerves, and I can't stand messing with it. I've heard so many horror stories of bricks and I saved for a long time to have enough cash to buy this thing.
Thanks for your work, I've finally got my JB rooted and can play with my emulators and screenshot tools again.

I'm sure it is a coincidence, but as soon as I finished, my external SD card became unreadable/unmountable. Trying it in my PC and it says it needs to be formatted. All my data was lost. (Well...Maybe...I'm trying some recovery stuff before I give up and reformat).

You can look in the install script, it never touches the external sd card.
I think a lot of these issues are still related to cwm, I'm looking at it a bit to see what's really happeneing.

After flash this KERNEL, MY A700 can't read a NTFS ext-sdcard..

I was able to recover all my files, but still had to reformat the card. Not too big of a deal.

Try the stock one. Source built may not have ntfs enabled.
Seems acer don't release the exact source they actually compile and release

Hi,
this seem very attravtive, thanks for putting this together. I have a few questions for you. Bearing in mind that I start from a 100% stock JB A700:
- Will any of the install steps wipe data / settings on my system ?
- Will it prevent futur OTAs ?
- Is there there a way to go back to stock if we do this ?
thanks for your help!

I think I can answer.
1. Shouldn't effect current install. It's a boot.img only and CWM if you don't have it.
2. Yes. Unlocked bootloaders and rooting will make future OTA's inoperable. You will get a message stating "unfortunately you can not receive OTA. Please contact Acer". or something like that.
3. There's always a way to go back to stock. Typically it involves installing a stock rom, which of course will clean all your user data and such.

Depends on your version of the ""previous recovery"". Seems there are many in the past 3 months. Some of them. were "brick-makers".
Generally, you are safe to "install zip only".

Well, you shouldn't need to do wipes and such for this process. In fact, I would use CWM just to install things just to play it safe.
In my opinion, the JB build runs good as it is, although you may want to delete a couple of pesky apps running in the background.
If you're really worried, you can try using adb to push SU and the superuser apk after you fastboot the insecure boot.img. ADB should be working with it now.

You can download the firmware from prestigio site and it will be factory-state.

Hello!
We have a small community in Hungary with this tablet, and this method has some serious problem that came up for a few people including me.
After the first boot with a rooted tabled, gapps going to crash many times. The only solution was to reinstall gapps from CWM (from the cyanogenmod source). After the second boot AOSP keyboard started to crash. Others had problems after a week of use. They had infinite boot loop and the only solution was to flash the original fw.
Do anybody else had problems like this?

after a few attempts, it worked like a charm... thanks for a nice and clear tutorial...
if only there were some custom kernels for this device...
btw in developer tools - how can you enable "Full screen anti-aliasing"? it's grayed out and unavailable...
one more thing
on the official Prestigio web site and in the device manual it says that this tablet can't be charged through usb port - not exactly true...
i used my android phone charger and plugged the usb cable to the device and charging worked (it doesn't work only if plugged in the computer usb port)...
but i don't know what happened - usb charging didn't work today (maybe it has something to do with rooting of the device - it worked yesterday when it was unrooted) - if i figure out what happened - i'll post it here...

You have to downgrade first. After the reboot with the 3G older firmware your tablet will be a non responding brick, but don't worry it has to be this way. Push the power button and the tablet going to power off.
Anyway as I wrote, after rooting most pepole got many problems (chrashing apps, bootloop ect.) and the community is too small to solve problems like this. Easy rooting method is still needed.
You don't have to worry, you can flash the factory firmware to your tablet even if it's a halfbrick, you can do rooting safely.

I tried it a while ago. I have ROOT now! Great. This way is right. THX
-----EDIT-----
Some trouble with automaticaly close some apps has solution in wipe/factory reset, wipe Dalvik and Cache and format SDCARD. I have not any error messages now.

thought this was the only one for the 10.1 " multipad .

so is there any posibility to have anything newer than 4.1.1 for this tablet? (even with small drawbacks)
did anyone manage to succesfully install some of the other rk3066 based roms on this multipad?

Have you checked if your processor is clocked at 1.6 ghz? Mine sits in 1.5GHz. It's not normal!

?
max cpu for this tablet is 1504mhz (1.5 ghz)

How are you trying to install it? Recoveries are installed by bootloader and should be in the same directory as 'fastboot.exe'.
Also have you made sure you've got the right recovery for you boot loader version (ICS, JB or 4.2)?

Have you every upgraded your tablet to 4.2? If so DO NOT flash that recovery. It will brick your device.

If you look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377
In Part 3, that explains how to flash recovery.
I personally wouldn't downgrade TWRP, is there a reason you want to downgrade?

I was upgrade to 4.2 JB Stock
How Can I get starts normal System?

What do you mean by 'normal system'?
Again DO NOT flash that recovery.
You've got a 4.2 bootloader, but that recovery is for 4.1. If you apply it you WILL brick your device.

Whilst you're on Android 4.1, you can flash openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-JB.blob
But once you've upgraded to Android 4.2 from ASUS you must use recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-4.2.blob

Unfortunately I can't help you with why the SD Card didn't get recognised. I'm sure someone else will help.
There are guides around on this forum; rather than flashing the official ASUS update via recovery, it can also be done by bootloader. I think it involves 'system.blob' to be pushed to the device, and the update ZIP file to be on the /sdcard/ directory.

I was install by fastboot recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-4.2.blob but it still not recognize sdcard internal and external, why?
I was install SW from Asus page by fastboot and fastboot bootloader.
Device starts only to TWRP. I didnt know why?
When i boot device to bootloader and push system Android, it starts normal to OS and work good.
