[A700] [HowTo] Update German Version to JB

Hi!
Just found a way to update to JB from the 1.053 version (Acer_AV043_A700_RV22RC03_EMEA_DE) on wich every other update failed for me. But runs with the other versions, too.
Unlock Bootloader
Install CWM (6.0.1.4)
Visit this german forum
get the file A700 JB Full ROM AV051_1.028.00_EMEA_DE RV09RC02.zip
flash it via CWM
DONE!
Just tested and it's working.
Credits go to those who deserve it.
I deleted CWM and a mate let it where it was and both A700 are running fine [*] (see below!)
... now waiting for root
----------------------------
[*] New info:
My friend, who kept CWM, unlocked the bootloader again after the update and now has a bootloop. So my advice is to kill CWM after the update.
I don't get into recovery too (with locked bootloader) it says "recovery image verified failed". But system starts normally afterwards.
------------------
More info:
I had CWM on the tab too, because i misunderstood the question:
When asked
Code:
ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?
No
No
No
Yes - Disable recovery flash
say NO! to kill CWM.
------------------
Still more info to come:
(4.10.2012)
The bootloop was fixed by flashing a propriate recovery after beeing able to enter fastboot using the right key combination.
andiby left us a JB stock recovery: recovery.img and he build a CWM 6.0.1.4 with JB Kernel: recovery-a700-6014JB.img which runs fine for me.
Use the CWM with JB Kernel only to flash files and not to WIPE, FORMAT or RESTORE a backup, because there were issues with a different JB based CWM and I can't guarantee this one to work, because I have not tested it.

I'm on FR Firmware, can you tell me how should I proceed?

If you want to keep the FR firmware you will have to wait for an appropriate update file.
If you want to switch to Germen I think it should work with this method, because the zip file contains everything from bootloader to system files.

Do you think I can here: https://app.dumptruck.goldenfrog.com/p/GOKKb2PavJ download an install then install Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC03_AV043.RV07RC06_EMEA_DE thereafter this here JB?

I would not recommend it, because your file is only 340 MB while the one from the thread above is nearly 400 MB.
I think you only need the file from my post, because there is everything in it fpr JB afaik, but I can give no guarantee, because I only used it to update my German version.
PS: Might it be posible to reduce the size of your signature a bit? Threads are much more difficult to read if a signature is almost always larger than a normal post. Thank you to give consideration to my request.

Yes but i can from FR Firmware to DE and install first update (5MB) and this is 1.053 => finally JB or i think wrong?
PS: Nope. These are my projects

update or flash total
Is it an upgrade or full flash?
Did you delete all data you had or upgrade your system?

It's an update. Everything is on the tab as before.
@DakiX: all I can say is that I would not recommend using this method with any other file than the one mentioned in the first post, because this is the one I tested.

Thank
Thank you. I will flash now.

I just don't get why you want to flash anything else before the "A700 JB Full ROM AV051_1.028.00_EMEA_DE RV09RC02.zip" because it is a FULL ROM and should be flashable over ICS 1.023, ICS 1.027, ICS 1.053 and ICS 1.055 to get JB 1.028.

You have a PM

Works great ! Thanks !
But for me, recovery 6.0.1.4 is KO after the update. I need to use the one with "the brick bug". Not good at all
I will wait for Pawitp before using it...

Can you get into recovery mode using "adb reboot recovery"?

Nope.. failed but its understandable because CWM must be made for 4.1.1

I had a running CWM but under versions 7.5. Now I have not any. Or is the possibility to unlock the bootloader with status NO.

they had recoveries with the .75(the latest ICS firmware) version, which was ICS.After the JB update there is no fully working recovery, the one termobulbulator posted is the only one booting.
tl;dr there is no recovery atm.The last recovery was for the last version of ICS.

Dear developer, as you know this device has not separate room in bootloader for recovery.img and this is a big issue. For now I find this solution to do onandroid backup and to flash the CWM with flashtool when I need a system restore... this is a little annoying, but works. Anyway if you could create a CWM recovery for JB stock kernel I'll be the first interested in testing it (may be one recovery.tar in /system/bin...???) Please!

Ok, Mr gavster26, you are the cool ruler of Xperia J, and you really know what's going on with CWM recovery for the device! But although we have yet CWM and TWRP recovery for J none of these developers it is able to fix permanent recovery on stock rom, yet. I have idea that this will be not possible as there is no separate room for recovery in bootloader. Maybe I am wrong but as I am noob just you are, I asked to Doomlord if he will help us to solve the problem, sorry for this but I'm not spammig at all, in any case.

I didn't say you was spamming bro

I have a rooted Xperia J running stock JB with locked bootloader that has no working cwm/twrp recovery (I tried CWM 6.1 and I'm getting a black screen, since the same issues seems to be happening for others in the TWRP thread I haven't tried testing that). I cannot install the adrenaline script without CWM/TWRP. So to answer your question, yes it would be great if the J had a working recovery on stock JB however I have a locked bootlader so I cannot install custom ROMs/kernels if I understand correctly what I read so far. CWM did work on stock rooted ICS (version ending with 7.5).
Please do let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with testing without bricking my phone

[Q] Help!! Cant Update OTA 4.2.2 for my One XL !!

I've been running Stock Rom (4.1.1) with Bullet_proof_kernel and TWRP (instead of stock kernel and stock recovery),Recently I was notified on an update to 4.2.2 via OTA. And when I was asked for installing the update package after downloading (424 MB),it simply goes into TWRP,and nothing happens. I tried flashing it through twrp but it doesn't work(I get some errors on it). What if,I flash Stock kernel and stock recovery and then try updating it??If that's possible,Can anyone provide me with a link for downloading them? It would also be great if you suggest an alternate way to update it to 4.2.2 [stock].
Thanks in advance!!

As I've told at least 3 other people in the last couple days: OTAs require stock recovery to install.
Also, I think your bootloader will need to be relocked if you are S-on.
If you are already bootloader unlocked and custom recovery, just install one of the stock (or stockish) Sense 5 ROMs posted in Development. Flash like any other custom ROM.

Its been discussed here countless times that TWRP 2.5.0.0 is buggy, and many ROMs will not install with it. Update to 2.6.0.0.
This is probably your main issue. Returning to stock recovery is a poor remedy.

Try downloading GooManager from the Play Market, and update TWRP that way.
I've tried CWM before, but only the official version, not Philz, so I can't comment on that.

Wait, don't install recovery. You'll install recovery at the end when you're at 4.4.4. Just flash kitkat 4.4.4 or update it via ota as you like and follow this tutorial to root it with full permissions. After everything is done install the recovery. But be careful read my full instructions on how to flash in 4.4+.

Good job.

Yes, it can boot to recovery on all stock roms 4.4.2 - 4.4.3
Yes, it can flash stock flashable zip kernels, but on latest firmware, especially KK 4.4.4 all my attempts with 18.3.1.C.0.21 failed with boot loops.
I'm not very surprised because this recovery is a good old repacked CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.6 by DooMLoRD, and it is made for Unlocked Bootloader.
If we want to have a full functional CWM,PhilZ Touch or TWRP recovery for locked BL on Xperia M2, we need a solution like XZDualRecovery by NUT.
Anyway, thanks for your work.

Can you upload a kernel for 4.4.2 please ?

While installing CWM by terminal emulator it shows
"E:invalid command argument
E:Cant Open /tmp/recovery.log"
Code i used was
Su
Recovery -update_package=/sdcard/recovery.img
I hav done by teminal coz my volume buttons are not working so.for up-down navigation volume buttons are needed bt its not working so i tried with code bt its showing me error. And while flashing in rom install it shows "Error:cant locate recovery partion"
Please help for install zip of cwm without volume button.
Please giv me solution

Glad to hear that.

Bootloader is locked. Phone is rooted. The .exe file worked properly and all the files are where they should be on the phone but still impossible to get into Recovery.
Phone turns on, Blue light turns on, trying pressing, tapping and holding but the phone never vibrates and just continue the boot like I've done nothing.
Please help
