I purchased my Ascend in February and have been trying every rom I can get my hands on. This is my first droid/smartphone so I can't help but mess with it. Now, I first installed Icarus 1.1 succesfully and loved it but I guess Isaacj has since stopped devolpment on this? Not sure but either way I loved his work so much I installed CM7_04052011 with the proper gapps.
Now my question. When I wiped the phone clean and installed CWM 3.0.2.4 and CM7, it now recognizes the phone as a CD drive and forces the directory as a read only. Is there any one else with this problem?
Yes, I enabled USB mass storage according to the notification via the phone but this happens no matter if the mass storage is turned off or on. I tried updating drivers and it recognizes the driver cdrom.sys. I also read somewhere to download the USB files manually and install them, which I have downloaded but may need further help with these. I also tried to disable the automatic install of drivers so I could try to install them myself and my Windows 7 laptop will not recognize this new CM7 phone as anything but a CD drive.
This isn't such a huge problem as I have SD readers, but I didn't have this problem with any previous version of ROM I had placed on my phone so it is a little frustrating to jump through loops. Please if anyone could help that would be great and Isaacj you are the man and I love your work more and more everyday thank you for everything you have done and continue to do
UPDATE: I installed the new CM7_04162011 and it recognizes the SD card as its proper name now but still as a CD-ROM and still read-only 4/17/2011
i have had the same exact problem with my ascend and theres no way to flash back to stock rom after doing the whole cwm thing. hopefully theres a fix

it doesnt read the phone anymore or recognize it fully to browse the files within
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
this is the only thread that i can find that completely states just what is wrong. if anyone knows where to find the answer to this please post a link. there is nothing in the q and a section about this.
can someone test the wpa_supplicant provided (which is in system/bin) on galaxy player 5.0 (2.35) to see if any one work and can connect to adhoc View attachment wpa_supplicant.rarnetwork?
first, rename it to wpa_supplicant and test them one by one,thanks!
OK, I'll try it.
their is an app in the market called:
"WiFi Ad Hoc enabler" by AREND
I would try it, but I don't have a SGP rom, so if my wifi config was to get trashed, I'd be in trouble
when i find a rom for the SGP 4.0, I might try this, I've been wanting ADhoc for a while now.
The file wpa_supplicant3 works well on my YP G70 2.3.6. Now I can use ad hoc.
---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------
Well, you can use a terminal to run each file, and you will see the version number. If there is a "ah" word after the number, it's an ad hoc supported file. Otherwise, you don't need to try it. Besides, you should run your system's orginal file to know the right version for your current system.

How do I run them? I tried copying them to my SD then running with connect bot,
but it said "permission denied" so I tried "chmod +x" and it said bad mode
chmod 755,not +x, that's not original Linux.
I tried that too (see attachment)
What would happen if I was to copy wpa3 and it was the wrong version?
would my SGP still boot? I made a backup, so if it would not cause any serious harm I could just go ahead and try #3.
Of course it will boot. Wrong file only cause Wi-Fi connection failed or nothing. And I suggest copy the files into /system/bin and then run them.
---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------
By the way, you don't need to reboot after replacing the file. You just need to turn off the WiFi and turn on it. If it works, you will find your adhoc connection point in the list. So you needn't be afraid of not booting.
#3 worked for me too
SGP 4.0.
Thaks a Lot
Congratulations~
I'm wondering whether G70 support wifi tethering and bluetooth DUN. I have a s60 with 3g.

Hi,
I'm having problems with my S3. I'm trying to copy a ROM over to the internal storage via USB. It's connected and I can view all the files and directories. However, when I go to copy the ROM over, I get this error:
Cannot copy item
The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.
I did have it rooted with CWM and custom ROMs, but I flashed the leaked official JB and have had this problem since. I've flashed back to stock ICS and still no luck...
I have the same problem! Bump

"MTP Device Cannot Start code 10" error message
I get an "MTP Device Cannot Start, error code 10" error message when I connect my Sansa player to a PC running Windows XP. What can I do?
1. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator
2. If connected, disconnect your player from the PC
3. Open your command prompt, click Start select Run
4. Type cmd then press Enter
5. Type the following after the prompt: Net localgroup Administrators local service /add then press Enter
NOTE: A "The command completed successfully" message should appear.
6. Close the command prompt and reconnect the Sansa player.
-Just CMD on start menu, right click and run as administrator and do as it says here

I'm having the same copy issue. I've tried downloading multiple different ROMs and copying them over to the internal storage and it seems like it's a crap shoot whether they work or I get the "cannot copy" error. Of course the ROMs I want to flash are the ones that won't work. I'm on a newly flashed Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I had the same challenge with 4.1.2 at the beginning. I found out that somehow my kernel (Siyah RC1) was the issue, after installing RC3 and also now with 1.7 it works fine.

Do you tick USB debugging in developer option, if YES, do you disable media storage from startup, if No, my answer is try other USB, OTG cable. Goodluck!

Hi,for Galaxy S4 just download USB MASS Storage Enabler and run it ,you will have no problems copying after that!
most of the copy problem like this mainly caused by the USB line or the USB port...

This did not work for me. For me the issue was that the download in chrome of the rom was "complete", but it was not. IT was only 120mb in stead of 200+, so the file was corrupt. This is why I could not copy it.
Redownloaded, worked.
Maybe Kies Service is running in the background? You can reinstall the Samsung USB Device Driver on your machine. You also can uninstall the device driver installed by the system when you plug in the device the first time. Maybe this helps.
Hi! What I did was I put whatever I wanted to copy into a folder (in my case it was a ROM i.e. a zip file) and then tried to copy and it worked.
TRY THIS
if not copy, try cutting (you can copy it back later)

Booting
Got this installed on a Lenovo Thinkpad 2 - Booted the first time with the option of Android or Windows, but timed out and chose Windows on it's own. The next time I booted computer hung...and now it just goes straight to windows? Any idea how to get the boot option?
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Never mind on the last post, got to the boot option, but no luck. I get the android option but it just gives me a black screen and says files are missing... " a required application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors"
I'll try some different versions...maybe that's the ticket.

Also could not find grldr.mbr

UEFI Support
Hey, I have an Asus Vivotab Note 8 (M80TA) Currently running Windows 8.1
I downloaded the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop x86 iso file from... um... somewhere within the interwebs (I've forgotten where) and so far your installer is the only one that my tablet plays nice with... even though when I try to boot to Android I get the 'no grlbr.mbr' error (because my device is UEFI)
I was wondering if and when this installer was going to get updated with UEFI support? I'm positively frothing at the mouth with anticipation!
Installted the same on windows 8.1 tablet.
Hi, I'm a beginner. I've bought Windows Tablet (Voyo A1 Mini). Upgraded to Windows 10.

Hello,
I have acquired an Acer tablet that we used for my grandparents called GrandPad by Consumer Cellular. There is a really stripped down software/OS on it that is more "elderly friendly". I know the user interface is built on top of Android (maybe 6.0-6.1). My question is how to I find a custom ROM and installation instructions on this so I can make this thing a decent functioning tablet? I'm having a hard time finding anything about this. Not sure if Acer took another variant of their tablet and made it exclusive to Consumer Cellular.
Here's all the info I have on it. Not sure how to access the Android info on top of the current software.
Model: A6201
SNID: 81790091576
S/N: FFHZ8AA008817DBF337602
Hi there , I would try to look if theres any rom for it , can you upload screenshots of the ui? Also , please remove the IMEI part as it is not necessary and it is a potential security risk for you if someone uses it .

Hello ThatLatinGuy,
I have tried endlessly searching for a ROM. I just can't find much info at all on ACER Android tablets in general, and much less on this specific model they made for a cellular company.
As far as the stock UI, you can do a web search for GrandPad Consumer Cellular. Apparently I can't give the link because I don't have 10 post yet.
After posting this, I did hold down the (power and +- volume) button and got to the Android recovery screen to do a factory reset thinking it would reset back to Android 6.0.1. I did work....sort of. The "grandpad" UI is no longer there, but it does boot up to some application called "GrandPad Eagle". I assume this is some kind of software they ran on top of Android when developing the tablet's interface??? There is an option on that screen to do a hardware test. When I touch on that it opens some Android app called Alpaca. From there I can swipe down from the top screen and access the Android settings menu. There's no launcher and I've even tried to sideload .apk apps (with unknown sources turned on) but gives me an error about it can't read file. It let me turn on developer options in the settings.
I can try to upload some images, but every time I go to insert image it wants a link and not a location on this site. Tried Google photos link and that didn't work apparently. Anyway, any settings specifically might help just let me know and I'll try to get it on here somehow...maybe.
Well this sounds really familiar , I was in the same boat a few years ago with a 2012 kindle fire HD so I will try to apply the same principle here . I have also tried to look for information about this tablet and only got the specs , wich are actually pretty good , but anyway does the tablet have an internet browser? if so type fdroid an download the app install it and open it , search for a launcher so you can atleast use the tablet .
If not , how are you sideloading it? with adb ? or does this tablet support mtp?
You can try to upload the pictures to google photos and upload the link with some characters in between (something like : www----photoservice_x2323-com)
Havent found anything about the Granpad Eagle app, although Im pretty sure that your assumptionis correct , and the Alpaca app is equally obscure , so please try to upload the picture of those .
Cheers

The tablet has no browser. Very very limited apps in general. I tried to download the apk apps for chrome and nova launcher. I can push them from my computer to the tablet . But when I touch to install it, I get an error saying it can't read the APK file. Don't know why it would say that. I do have trust unknown sources checked.
I'll see what I can do about the pics.

Update...
I managed to install new apps via ADB. I was able to remove the grandpad eagle from ADB as well. I rebooted the tablet and the Nova Launcher (app I installed) settings came up.
Main problem now is that there is no navigation buttons on the bottom. There's no way I can go back or home. Not sure yet how to enable them. It's a bit annoying when you can't go back to the home screen or switch apps.

its gesture based , but it looks better .
Thanks,
Even though the OEM stuff is off...the Android OS is still a little quirky. For example, there is no way to put it to sleep with the hardware buttons. And I have to hit the power and volume up button to power it off. Just random stuff like that.
Oh well, it's better than it was. Just wish I could do a fresh restore without the OEM stuff. Or better yet, a custom ROM. Which seems like is impossible since this tablet is so unique.

hI , did you resolve this problem ?
Hey y'all,
I've been lurking here for quite some time, so it's nice to finally register and become a part of the forums here! At any rate, here goes my first post...
I have this exact tablet and I thought maybe it would be a good starting point for me to try working with ADB and all that. The Acer A6201 I was given appears to have no OS on it, as when booting it I am met with a screen displaying the 'GrandPad Eagle' logo with the Identifier, Serial #, Telephony, and SIM # with barcodes. Also displayed are the buttons: Install, Shutdown, Pick WiFi, About, and Hardware Test. LTE is on (I put my Cricket SIM in it), as well as WiFi. It reads Eagle vc21618-b356. Upon connecting to LTE, it reads:
SyncManager: Sync Device...
RegisterManager: Registering...
EagleAPI: Starting Register...
RegisterManager: Register Success
EagleAPI: Starting Sync...
AutoWIFIManager: doGiraffeWIFISearch >> no matches
That's pretty much it. If I click Hardware Test, it goes to something called Alpaca, which runs through all hardware tests with no issues. From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings and all that. From there, I've enabled developer mode and USB debugging, as well as install from unknown sources.
As the OP originally stated, there is no web browser and I've had zero luck installing any APKs or anything; I can't even get Chrome on there via ADB.
Any thoughts or advice?
Just wanted to update this thread and see if anyone else has made any progress. I have the Acer A8202 model.
Grandpad apps removed. (until factory reset) use a usb keyboard and hit escape to get access to the system menu then enable developer and adb. Nav bar is under Display. I installed a browser, Aptoide and a launcher via adb. I am still working on the status bar(working in settings but not in all other apps) I believe there is a full screen mode system wide setting on in the build.prop file. temp solution is "Material Status bar" and "Mi control center" for a status bar. Google play services install but constantly crash. I was also able to unlock the bootloader. but to edit the system files will need root and a Twrp img file that doesn't give black screen.

I got the exact same model A8202. I am trying to "Apply update from ADB" and it says to "send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" Where do I find the package (OTA update ?)

I am looking for it too. There's got to be somebody out there who can provide an OTA package to upload via ADB.

How did you "manage to push new apps via adb"? for me "adb devices" shows nothing...

Hey y'all,
I've been lurking here for quite some time, so it's nice to finally register and become a part of the forums here! At any rate, here goes my first post...
I have this exact tablet and I thought maybe it would be a good starting point for me to try working with ADB and all that. The Acer A6201 I was given appears to have no OS on it, as when booting it I am met with a screen displaying the 'GrandPad Eagle' logo with the Identifier, Serial #, Telephony, and SIM # with barcodes. Also displayed are the buttons: Install, Shutdown, Pick WiFi, About, and Hardware Test. LTE is on (I put my Cricket SIM in it), as well as WiFi. It reads Eagle vc21618-b356. Upon connecting to LTE, it reads:
SyncManager: Sync Device...
RegisterManager: Registering...
EagleAPI: Starting Register...
RegisterManager: Register Success
EagleAPI: Starting Sync...
AutoWIFIManager: doGiraffeWIFISearch >> no matches
That's pretty much it. If I click Hardware Test, it goes to something called Alpaca, which runs through all hardware tests with no issues. From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings and all that. From there, I've enabled developer mode and USB debugging, as well as install from unknown sources.
As the OP originally stated, there is no web browser and I've had zero luck installing any APKs or anything; I can't even get Chrome on there via ADB.
Any thoughts or advice?

"From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings" I can see Alpaca but I can't get to the settings. Mine is A8202. Is that why it's missing?

I got the exact same model A8202. I am trying to "Apply update from ADB" and it says to "send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" Where do I find the package (OTA update ?)

Hrprada, there isn't a Stock package/rom that we can use. In order to side load apps you will need to make sure developer and adb are enabled. Google is your friend to get those. All i did was use a usb keyboard to show the menu. then swipe down.
