A510 back to Stock ROM

Hello from Germany,
i have a Problem with my ACER Iconia A510 (Firmware Acer_AV041_A510_1.076.00_EMEA_DE).
A Friend has rootet it and now i cant update to the latest Firmware (Installation fails).
I do a Factory Reset, but nothing works.
So where can i get a Stock ROM and how must i install it?
Thanks for your help.

yeah, looking for the exact same thing, hope someone can help

That has nothing to do with rooting. Did you remove any system apps?

Only some Bulk Apps like Astro, Link to Facebock etc....

Did you back them up? If so, try to restore them before upgrading.

Thats my Problem, i didnt backup them .... :crying:
Here are the List of Acer Apps i have after Factory Reset:
Acer Print
Aupeo
Camcorder
clear.fi
EquiView
MediaServe
Register
....

Look in this thread. It's in german, too.
Same problems there and the solution.

ive ran into similar issues. you have to mount is as rw, then chmod it before you can add files to the system dir.

Use the "ES file explorer" available in the play store. Enable "Root Explorer" in the options. Worked for me.
bzw: you can find the install_log in /cache

even if you mount it as rw, most programs may indicate it isnt because of the write permission (in my case total commander, es file manager, and remount all indicate that my /system dir is not rw when it is). i was stumped on this for a while. check to see if it is mounted as rw with this:
mount | grep /system
i had a similar issue when i was rooting and playing with insmod for some extra functionality.
in my case, im using the following command to get rw
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
when im tinkering i do a chmod 777 /system (after setting rw), and when im done, i do chmod 755 /system then remount to ro to put it back.

Thanks for the Hint...

Download the full german firmware from the Acer A700 here from the xda-dev. Most oft the apps, include in the firmware, are the same from the A510.

[Q] Unable to move apps on tablet

Alright I want to move my location spoofer app to /system/app so I can watch my hometown team on MLB.tv. This worked fine on my LG Nitro running CM10, but when I tried on my stock infinity (rooted, not updated), it won't let me. It just says "paste failed" when I try to move it. Anyone have any advice as to how to fix this?

Have y o u tried mounting the directory as rw so you can paste in there?

No I haven't, but just to clarify the app is currently installed on the internal memory, not sd card. I am just trying to move it from one folder to a different folder. Is this still necessary?

It may be, if the directory is mounted as read only you won't be able to copy into it

In normal operation, /system is mounted read-only, so you need to remount it as writable first. Root-enabled file managers usually have an option for that.

Thanks guys, will try this out tonight

Alright I tried editing permissions on the system folder, the app, and the root manager app, but they were already all checked (read, write, execute). I also tried just cut/pasting a picture i took to /system/app and I didn't work either...
EDIT: I just tried the remount app, and rewrote the /system folder as rw and it still didn't work

If anyone else has any suggestions on how to fix this let me know!

That's not how you do it. Those are chmod permissions for files and directories. That controls which user groups have rwx permissions for access; nothing to do with mounts. To allow for rw access to /system you need to either do it from within a root browser (ES file explorer, tools), the remount app, or type this into the terminal:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Copy your file or directory, then remount the system back as ro (so you don't accidentally delete something - that's why its mounted ro by default)
Code:
su
mount -o remount,ro /system

I just tried this and it works fine. After you made your selections for /system and rw, did you click the top "Remount" button and get a small pop-up "Success!..." notification that it completed its operation? I also verified that I could copy a test file into /system/app after toggling these settings. You are doing something wrong. Read this all again.
[Edit] The only reason I can think of that it might be failing is you are really not rooted or have a corrupt root. If all else fails, run the Root Checker app to see if you really have valid root. Open up your su app and see if it prompts you to update its binaries and let it if it does (superSU).

Glad you got it worked out. Which way worked for you?

stuck in boolloop after installing layers

Hello
i installed layers and applied a theme and performed a reboot and the device is stuck . any ideas ?

Hello,
please reflash your ROM.

No need to reflash your ROM, OP. Reboot to recovery (a custom one, of course), and either by using adb shell or twrp's built in file manager, remove what you will from /system/vendor/overlay.

What of there's no /system/vendor/overlay/, just /system/bin/? Also, I see just /vendor in the root. It contains firmware and lib folders. Also, I have /sdcard/Overlays and it contains Backup folder(which is empty) and vividcolorwhite.zip. Nothing more.

vividcolorwhite.zip: is this the overlay that's giving you grief? delete/move it.

You have to mount your system partition. Just boot into twrp recovery, go to mount, mount system. After you mount the system partition you should be able to see all the system folders.

Question Cant paste to system/media/UI

Im trying to replace my keyboard sound in however it keeps failing even its already RW and set same permission in stock sound file. Help

Did you root your device?

Yes, my device is rooted.

Did you use a filemanager like root explorer? i think this behaviour is normal, but it should be possible to set different permissions
