[Q] Need Recovery Help! - Acer Iconia A500

OK, so I flashed one of the new leaked ICS stock ROMs and it appears that everything is ok. I'm digging all of the features including the panoramic camera. I decide that I want to put on Taboonay for a little flavor. I try to boot into recovery and this is what I get:
Erasing cache before SD update
SD update cmd: recovery
--update_Package=SDCARD:update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
(IN RED) Recovery verified failed
Yes, I tried to flash a recovery image through the ACER recovery install and the ROM Manager. Both of them flashed an image with no problem, until I actually tried to flash an image.
My question is this: How do I flash a recovery image if my bootloader is busted?
I do have ADB access , so it there a way I can copy a recovery image file directly onto the A500?
I appreciate the help!

Well, not sure if I can get you up and running. This is going to depend on if you followed traditional installation instructions that are posted on every thread that contains a Rom.
But first, let's cover where you went wrong. And that would probably be when you went back to Recovery. It seems, you didn't hit Vol - and PWR, but instead selected Vol + and PWR. And as such, it tried to run an update.zip file, which is a no-no. This resulted in a corrupted image.
Secondly, Rom Manager is a phone app. This will in most cases, bork your tab.
First, I would try Acer Installer (newest version) and try to install RA Recovery. If you were using CWM before, you probably can't flash it again.
If that doesn't work, then you will have to roll back from ICS, and you will need your original UID number. Hopefully you wrote this down somewhere. If you were using RA Recovery, you will find the UID number in the UID.txt on your SD Card in the Recovery folder (if you made a system backup before flashing ICS roms). If you were using CWM, well, it might be buried in one of the .img files in the clockwork folder (again, if you made a backup before flashing ICS). You will have to de-compile the image files to find it (hopefully).
If your ADB seems to be working, you may want to push the RA Recovery;

If you have your original UID number, then you may want to try this;

or this;

Hope you get it going. From what I have seen, mostly when the people lose their recovery, they were using CWM. Haven't heard of any losing it when using RA Recovery. But anyhow, use Acer Recovery first, and try the RA Recovery.

[Q] "Error while backing up boot image!" CM recovery 3.0.2.4

Hi there. Thought I'd finally get around to rooting my Glacier, making progress but hit a roadblock.
ROM Manager app is stuck on "Error while downloading from server.", so I flashed clockwork recovery 3.0.2.4 with fastboot shell, ROM Manager still thinks recovery isn't installed and gives me the same download error when I try to manual override.
In recovery, attempting to start a backup gives me the error in the title, that is, "Error while backing up boot image!" and halts.
I could probably continue on to flashing cyanogenmod 7 and gapps, but I'm not comfortable doing that without a backup handy.
Android ver. 2.21, eng SPL (85.2007), 3.0.2.4 ClockworkMod recovery.
Can anyone help?
If it were me, I would download a fresh copy of CWM from here and flash it via fastboot. I bet then you'll be able to successfully make a Nandroid. If not, try formatting your SD card.
Downloaded that and re-flashed to no avail. Backed up SD card, formatted it, and for some reason it started working then.
Ah well, at least I have a backup. Thanks!
Had an odd error with the md5 checksums changing, too.. pushed them with adb, used md5sum, they were correct. Rebooted into recovery and they had changed again. Had to push and verify from recovery in order to install.
It ended up working though, so no complaints.
The easiest workaround I found to this problem was to boot into recovery mode using Quick Boot and follow these steps in the cwm boot screen: apply update from sdcard, install /sdcard/update.zip, reboot into recovery, backup and restore, and BACKUP. Worked for me and I didn't have to reformat my sd card, deleting everything on it.
Hi,
I would like to remind you that, CWM v3.x above are no longer support amend scripting which is used in Froyo ROM. Instead it used edify scripting which is used in Gingerbread ROM.
When you are on Froyo and try to use the latest CWM, it will not work, and you will encounter a problem just like you said.
My self, i use the CWM v.2.5.x, on my fascinate, and it can make backup successfully, although i never try the restore function yet.

[INFO/DISCUSSION] ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 Tf101

PLEASE USE THE CWM UPDATE BY KOUSH ONLY.. ALSO, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT CWM VERSION 5.5.0.4 has been reported to have some freeze issues, contact Koush and forward a logcat or provide information so he can resolve. Until then, use an earlier version until all the bugs are gone..... thank you--- oka1 moderator
​
Today I noticed That Koush Has released CWM 5.5.04 for Our device. So simply You can Download Rom manager from Market and then just install the CWM.
AllCredits go to KOUSH.
Here IS the .img file.
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-tf101.img
Installed fine. Reboot to recovery still doesn't work for me. Still works fine when using the app from the market though. Thanks for the heads up.
Reboot to recovery messed up my tab, so it would only boot into recovery (booting to Android was done manually).
works either manually or via market app reboot to recovery, via ClockworkMod restart the system, is not in recovery
"reboot system now" does not work, reboot into recovery again.
Same to me on my tab. Don't install it yet.
Unable to install either through rom manager
or
Terminal method
Rom manger says it installed it but when I reboot to revocery (via another app)
it's still the old one
Terminal emulator says image not found no matter where I store it or what directory I point to
Seems like I'm missing something.
The linked .img file is a blob file with the SOS partition. It can be flashed through the staging partition. If you extract it or strip out the header, it will be a regular .img file that can be flashed through cwm (with a little work).
I haven't flashed it yet.
Same here, unable to boot android again (recovery loop), is there any way to flash the old one from adb?
Thanks
bug
since i have instal it i can't go out of the recovery when i do restart and it reboot in recovery again
go out by pressing power button + volume down , wait a moment and you can select recovery or boot android os
If you go into advanced there's no option to return.
Wasn't there a bug about installing recovery with Rom Manager that causes constant boots into recovery?
let me look...
EDIT: This may or may not apply, but ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=151963
Official, yes, see here the 5.5.0.4 for tf101, the .img and .zip:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
I should have read more of this thread before flashing. Because now mine does what everyone else is doing. Goes back into the recovery in a loop..
If You have problems return to the older:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
=================
mine flashed fine from rom manager pro on Eos-tf101-5 All menu's seem to work fine, but there is no external SD access only internal. Still can't access recovery from rom manager but that's the same standard issue with the rom.
it support tf101g or not ?
Cant flash a new recovery either.
Tried reflashing rogue and still boot loops into cwm.
Downloaded current cwm from web link above and flashed. Still boot loops into recovery.

I would love to go back to the older one...But my Tab doesnt show the sdcard at all. Only internal memory...weird
Flashing the IMG via NVFLASH broke recovery for me. Installing it through ROM Managers works fine.

Help, Blade can't get into recovery

I have been upgrading a friend's Blade but I've run into trouble. I rooted the froyo firmware and flashed CWM. Now if I try to boot into recovery via "adb reboot recovery" it somewhat works but if I try to get into the recovery via Vol - + Power it doesn't. It just gets stuck at splash screen and won't bulge. But if I have flashed a stock recovery I can boot into FMT. This is not the end of it though.
I went on to flash CM9 KonstaKANG release but wanted to do a reflash after doing TPT conversion, the TPT part went fine but now I later realised that I can't get into CWM. So...I got stuck. I flashed a Gen 2 stock via Windows and flashed a TPT image.bin I found that contained a stock 2.3.5 firmware. Brilliant, life saved...no? Turns out I can't root it, so I can't flash a custom recovery to it and boot into it in order to flash CM9. So....I did a bunch of other stuff and at this point the blade has a CWM recovery which I can't boot into, empty system partition and pretty much a boned status. I thought I'll flash a stock 2.2 TPT which I found at: http://amphoras.co.uk/downloads/blade-tpts but the one with a ROM are in some other format than TPT and I can't figure out how to flash them. Can anyone help me here?
Install rom manager (available in google play as a freeware) then flash clockwork mod recovery.
Now u can enter recovery with just 1 tap ie "reboot into recovery"
NOTE USB debugging should be enabled at all times
Add on:
You can root ur phone using an app named z4root.
To permanently root it search google and click the android modaco link

Heh, not only have you screwed up CWM, you also converted your phone into a GEN3 phone in the process (by flashing that 2.3.5 TPT).
Easiest way to fix it:
1, download: http://bit.ly/yUi4Nu (stock partition layout, if you want a 160MB system layout use: http://bit.ly/wEO8Im )
2. unpack it to your sdcard (/image/image.bin)
3. flash it like you would any TPT
You should have CWM installed at this point (just press and hold vol- during bootup) and now you can flash whatever ROM you want to.

[Q] What to do after a brick?

Hello everyone.
I hope you can help me.
I had an A500 bricked spontaneously (I was checking Twitter, the screen frozen, I turned off the tablet and when I turned it on again, it stucked on Acer logo) so I used the guide to recover recovery (this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751978, because I rooted my tablet but I didn't install recovery).
Everything was ok, I flashed the V7-Thor v1.7.3 but when I tried to install stock ROM of ICS (wipe data and cache), the tablet got "re-bricked" and only enter in APX mode.
Then I reflashed and installed V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery and I tried to install Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT through update.zip (turned on the tablet in recovery --> Install from zip file --> Install zip file from SD card --> update.zip, then it said "Installed" and I rebooted the tablet, but it stuck on "Booting primary kernel image"...
What I'm missing or doing wrong? :/
What should I do to run ICS in my tablet again?
I'm not familiarized with the ROMs, Recoverys or flash... sorry if my question is stupid or something, but before this I never moved anything to my tablet (except for root it).
And sorry too for my bad English.

I think where you went wrong was choosing "install zip file from sdcard >update.zip"
Go back into recovery again > install from zip file > Choose zip from SD card (
if the file is on your micro sd card)
You should see a list of all your files and choose your rom file:
Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT.zip
Once its done, Stay in recovery and go to: Wipe Menu and do all the wipes there
Data -cache and dalvi-cache then reboot
Once you're all set up and before you reboot again, make sure there is not an "update.zip" on your sdcard - if you boot to recovery it may flash automatically and you will end up "stuck" again
good luck

Thanks! I did it and it worked, but after the reboot the tablet only shows the animated android logo... what's the problem? The ROM?
When I did the "Wipe data" it said "Formatting data" and after "Skipping erase of /data/media". I checked with the "Mount and Storage" menu in recovery and seems like my data before the brick's still in the internal storage of the tablet... is that normal?
EDIT: what version of cwm to have now? If its not 1.7.3 then go ahead and reflash the v8

Yes it is - keeps your data intact but 'resets' the rom to like it is when you first flash, there is an option to wipe data/media if you wish to - theres a toggle to enable it but on every boot to recovery it will be disabled again...
You can try another flash of the rom itself otherwise reflash the v8 bootloader.
Do you have access to "fastboot mode" power vol down - just wondering

I tried to reflash the same ROM, but this time nothing happened, again only says "Booting primary kernel image"... a question, if I try to flash a stock ROM (like Acer_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1.zip from the post of stock roms)... it will let my tablet again only in APX mode when I turn on it, right?
And I see the option "Fastboot mode" when I turn on the tablet holding Vol +.
About your question I don't know how to answer, I flashed V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery... is that a CWM?
In the top it says CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digetx rev 1.7.3) Iconia A50x...

sorry, not sure I understand your question...are you saying you're now stuck in apx mode - black screen power light on?
There are 2 types of stock rom on here....
1) Official Acer EUU or OTA roms
2) Official Stock roms which are Custom - pre-rooted and able to flash CWM etc -
If you flash one of the Acer EUU or OTA roms you will lose CWM and Root
To be honest - with your tab "spontaneously" booting and being stuck on the acer logo and the issues that have followed - its sounding more and more like a faulty chip - this is something that only acer can fix...I could be wrong about this and I hope I am...but something is just not feeling right...
- you still have cwm and access to fastboot - thats a bonus - maybe do a complete format thru CWM of data/media, system (and flexrom if its there) then try to flash a rom again - if it still won't flash AND if you're not stuck in apx mode then I think you'd be best to download an official update.zip - from Blackthund3rs thread here this one -
Acer_AV041_1.054.00_WW_GEN1:
Once you've d/l'ed it...try opening it if you can't then it will need decrypting the instructions for this are in the OP..
Once you have extracted the "update.zip" and have it on your sdcard - flash via CWM
good luck

What do you mean "If if its not 1.7.3"? Are there problems with flashing the bootloader with 1.7.3?
no, no, not at all, i meant if he didnt have that version to reflash v8 to get it
oops clicked wrong button
he said he flashed stock rom and ended up with dead android = stock recovery

Hello everyone!
I have a similar issue whith my a500. but i can restore the backup i did of my honeycomb sistem in cwm (i have acess)
aftter making the backup i have flashed V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx in apxflashtool in order to get ics boot loader and install ICS roms.
so far so good after the flash i had already a ICS rom in my sd card redy to flash so imediatly after V8 flash entered cwm and did clean format and wipe all. Next installed the rom (aroma instalation) no problems what so ever. After instalation is finished reboted and now im stuck on skilax v8 bootloader boting primary kernel image
i tried the folowing
- chage kernel multiboot fix partitions redo clean format etc etc etc (ALL THE STEPS)
-many other ics jellybean rooms (all of the install but dont boot)
- honey comb rooms install and BOOT normaly.
at this point thought maybe it was a bad V8 flash and decided to reflash the V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx
Now the flash tool can get pass uploading image phase.
i have correct sbk and cpuuid since i had to recover last week from boot verified failed error and use the flash tool whith correct sbk to recover the tablet with sucess.
So basicly im stuck wit
h my honeycomb rom backup or other HC roms
any news on this subject?

Yes just one question what is - " chage kernel multiboot "???? Sounds dodgy
You can boot to fastboot mode then do an erase of data and cache, see if that helps for a start....
Do you stil have recovery and can you still restore your HC backup?
I have seen a post or two where tabs can only boot HC Roms and no ICS
It "maybe" the dreaded hardware fault - you might be best to d/l the babsector.rar and run that - it will give you a proper error if theres something wrong - can get it from the root guide in my sig. Give me a minute or two and I'll post some steps in using it
---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------
How to use babsector.rar
Download and extract the babsector.rar to a folder on your PC
Turn your tab off and put it in apx mode manually. Press and hold reset button, hold power for 3 secs after the light comes on and release it, after another second release the reset button. Your screen is black and the power light is on.
Connect your tab to your PC
Navigate to the babsector folder and click on 501 A.bat, when its done
Reboot into recovery
Go to Mounts and Storage and Format System twice and Power Off
Go back into apx mode and run 501 B.bat
Reboot into recovery and do the wipes and flash your rom
Reboot

Help manually flashing stock rom/recovery

Hey all, I just did something stupid and well long story short I can't downgrade/upgrade or get stock recovery.
I'm running 3.2.1, No root or anything. Some reason I don't have the stock recovery so flashing update.zip is impossible. I was able to get the v9 bootloader on but thats it (I know its for ICS+). I've been searching and downloading non dead links trying to get this to work.
I was able to boot the device but now its locking at the lock screen. I can get into APX mode or to the main v9 bootloader options. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction to get this fixed? I have the root-3.2.1-V4 package also.
Thanks

Sounds like you can do this;
1. Go to Blackthunders listing for roms. Grab a ICS Full Rom for the 500. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560
2. Get a CWM (latest version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622425 , sroll down to "manual flashing". Download the V8 multi cwm package. Unzip it to your PC.
3. With the tab booted to the V9 bootloader, connected and make sure windows recognizes it.
4. Then in that folder, open a CMD window. Type in the following (I assume the CWM image files are there)
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxx.img
(xxxxxxx.img is the name of the Thor CWM recovery image file)
Hit enter and it should flash. Then go back to the V9 bootloader, and select the Recovery option, and see if it boots to the cwm recovery. If it all works, then the rest is easy.
Copy the rom you downloaded to your external SD card, Boot to CWM recovery, and Install zip from external SD card. Should install (if it's a full rom) and when it re-boots, it should be a stock ICS system.

I actually got it back working. I used the apx tool and got the v9 loader with team win cause it's the only one I found that well actually mount the sd card. Got Thor's Rom and flashed. I was going to try to go back stock but was way easier to do it this way. I appreciate your help. Bookmarked for next time my fat fingers get ahead of my brain!
