    My Acer  Acer Liquid Z3 Z130's firmware is down. I did tried to root it for changing font. I got root access. But when i changed font, Only Logo appear, no more home page, nothing. So , I think my handset firmware is down.

     

    Please let me know, where i can get firmware and how to install it. I hope only acer community can provide me firmware.

    Hi

    I had simillar problem:

    http://community.acer.com/t5/Smartphones/Liquid-Z3-Z130-failed-after-update/m-p/158269/highlight/true#M1742

     

    and I fixed it by:

    booting phone in fastboot and flashing image file I fould on internet.

    Not update.zip but system.img - it was from middle east but I was able to change language to english.

     

    If You want I can give You all steps and links.

    Hi

     

    Go to http://goo.gl/yi3eqy and download file and unpack it to have system.img.

    Then download adb/fastboot files (google for it - easy to locate).

    Put fastboot and system.img in the same folder.

    Run command line and go to folder with above files.

     

    Power down phone and then remove battery for 5-10 seconds.

    Then press volume up and power for couple of seconds untill You see menu with option to boot into recovery, fastboot or normal. Volume up is to move and volume down to select.

    Please select fastboot option and connect phone to your pc or laptop.

    (I'm assuming you have drivers installed already).

     

    In commandline run:

    fastboot devices - this should give you information about the phone, means that there is communication between fastboot and phone.

    then run

    fastboot flash system system.img -u

     

    and after around minute or so phone will be flashed and you can reboot it into android.

    Upon first boot phone will be in Thai language but you can change it to english.

    And then use NoBloat free (http://goo.gl/I0z5oW) to remove unwanted stuff from Thai mobile operator and you are good to go.

    The firmware is available on acer website, download it and copy to your SD card, enter recovery mode on Z130 and flash it.

    you can check FW version on your device, if still working.

     

    system settings/about phone/build version

     

    if not working....i don't know if it's written on the box, by the way if you choose the wrong version the Z130 will give you an error.

     

    GENs roms are single SIM only!

    ORGFRs is orange france network

    all versions with a small "s" at the end are for single SIM devices.

     

    EMEA GEN1 is the generic version

    Hi

    Now I have:

    Acer_AV052_Z130_1.004.00_AAP_ALS

     

    I had EMEA version as phone was purchased in Ireland but it failed online update and was stuck on boot.

    I found update file online as in my previous post and updated it, so cross update is possible and I had no errors/warning when updating.

     

    Now I will try with AV052.Z130.1.010.00.EMEA.GEN1 as this one looks like newest.

     

    Have dual sim phone.

     

    Tom

     

    Also:

    DId Your phones switching itself off sometimes ?

    Mine does that at least twice per day.

    never had a problem about switching off.

     

    About cross-flashing, i'm not sure this is possible, because i tried a lot of times without success, maybe a specific rom can be cross-flashed.

    Hello

    My phone is Acer Liquid Z130 Z3S (Thailand), 5mp back-camera, dual-sim.

    Build number is "Acer_AV052_Z130_1.005.00_AAP_AISH" and I've seen generic version of it-

    named "Acer_AV052_Z130_1.001.00_AAP_GEN1H", but I didn't found any place to download.

     

    Have you got any rom for Z3S model ? If yes, please make a download link for system.img.

    Even (update).zip still better than nothing.


     
    Thank you, Bearmarx.

    PS. Please forgive my lame English language.
