i just updated my recovery mode, after getting into the recovery mode, when i click on any of the options, i get a blank screen and nothing happens, when i click on the power button again it brings me back to the main screen, nothing works even reboot and power down. i have to force shut down by removing the battery, Appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Currently running revolutionary recovery.

Hey
Try using your trackpad button in selecting options!!
or just flash newest custom recovery :0

Use trackpad or volume buttons.

Hey guys thanks for the reply, i actually can scroll through the menu's but when i select i get a blank screen,
Btw Ashutosh1313 how do you flash a newer custom recovery, appreciate your help

Dont use "power button" to select things in recovery, use trackpad! the middle button on the bottom of the phone...

Thanks Guys its working, all this while i was using the power button to select, appreciate all your help on this.

Clockworkmod not working

Currently running CM7.1rc1. I've got Clockworkmod 3.0.0.8 flashed.
I'm trying to reset my battery stats, but when I reboot into recovery, whether it be directly out of CWM, or by choosing reboot > recovery after holding the power button down, or by holding power + volume down while the phone is off, CWM is unresponsive. The initial menu comes up, but when I select an option and hit the power button to select it, all I get is a black screen with the ROM Manager logo showing. Pressing the power button again will return me to the initial menu, but nothing else happens. I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone.
I have tried flashing older versions of CWM, which don't work, and I've also tried reflashing the lastest CWM. I have "erase recovery" checked in the settings menu. I've tried flashing the alternate recovery, but that fails.
Any thoughts on what I can do?
You need to press the trackball instead of power to make selections.
Man, now I feel like an idiot. Thank you.
yeah, was gonna say you use the trackball to make selections in CWM.
i did the same thing lol

Power button did'nt work in Recovery

Hello all,
I install CWM following this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601663
But the power button didn't work when I want to select an option.
The vol up/down buttons work fine.
Any idea ?
Hold it

Had somting like that to, but taping power button dit the same as the option to go back. I had to tap volume down and up almost at the same time, then after doing this a few times the tablet put somting on the screen and power button worked as normal again. if you dit the taping of the volume buttons again, after a few times power button worked as go back option again..

Install TWRP recovery.
Nice 1 ZN..
I would run the script for the bootloader unlocker and when the door and lock pop up make sure you use the vol down button to select lock then the vol up button to execute. You need to do this before fastboot times out. Once you are sure the bootloader is unlocked go to the apps and theme section and look for the Acer Recovery thread, follow the link then download the Acer Recovery Beta app. Once installed select clockwork mod revision 1.7 and flash the recovery. Your recovery should work fine after this.

You need to be a bit more clear as to what you mean. What does "page appear" means? Do you mean you can get into recovery but can not do anything there, like choosing an option there? or you can't even get into recovery?
If you can get into recovery, how do you choose options? You need to use volume up/down buttons to navigate and home button to select an option.
If you can not get into recovery, Take your sd card off, and try again. I somehow had an issue where I can't get into recovery due to a problem with my sdcard. But once I took it out, I was able to get into recovery.
Hope you can solve your problem.

what do you mean by the "left button" you mean the "menu" capacitive button? What happens when you select an option with the "home" button?

yes, i mean the capacitive button. when a touch the home button nothing appens. but i know that i should touch the left capacitive button to start the option that i chose in the recovery button. when for exemple i chose option "reboot now" after i touch the left capacitive button apears in screen still image with a "hat and circle arrow" nothing more appens then if i touch the left button or the power button i go to recovery menu again. to leave this state i have to take off the batery.

Ok I am confused about the buttons you use.
Just go up and down by volume up and down buttons. Once you are where you want to be, hit the home button ( middle hardware button, not the capacitive buttons) That should do it. If it still does not work, you may consider flashing recovery again.

I still am thinking you are hitting the wrong buttons.. Attached is the pic to show which buttons to hit. If you still can not work it, you can flash the recovery again (See Below)
You can always flash recovery and don't need to be in recovery to do so... For a guide please go here and follow the step described in step 2. If you are not familiar with terminal emulator and/or you dont have busybox installed, you can follow here to use adb to flash recovery.
Hope this helps.
I am still not sure what your problem is...Good luck.

sorry, do you know where can i find a touch recovery.
I don't know about CWM touch, but I know I've seen one around here.
Here is TWRP recovery touch.
Edit : Found it but it was in q&a http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651650
Also..for download mode if your home button is broken, use terminal.

reboot download

Hmmm that is interesting. I am quite curious why it does not work. Does your home button work when you are booted into the ROM?

Good to hear but you should look up that problem with your home button. If your wonder one day fail to boot, you're pretty much stuck.

[Q] I forgot to flash GAPPs. What should I do?

Hey everyone,
I recently flashed the new Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC ROM but it didn't occur to me that I needed to flash a matching GAPPS as well (I'm new to the whole modding thing and the download page for CM10.1 didn't include the GAPP). So now I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 but no google apps, and apparently no access to the Clockworkmod Recovery I used to flash the ROM either. I've tried downloading just the Google Play APK but the app always closes immediately after I try to open it. I've also tried booting into recovery by holding Volume Down+Home+Power but when I am presented with the Warning page and I press Volume Up to continue, the ROM just boots into Cyanogen as if I pressed cancel instead. Is there anyway to either get my Google Apps back, or someone access CWM Recovery so I can ref lash Gapps?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Brian
Recovery is power+home+volume up
Just flash gapps once you're in recovery.
You should be fine

I tried holding Power+Home+Volume Up but it just boots into Cyanogenmod as if nothing happened :S
Make sure your completely powered down first then try the power+volup+home button make sure all 3 are pressed down
Or, enable extended power menu under dev settings, then just hold down power, reboot, recovery
If you're going to enter recovery mode via the button combo, the most successful way is to press Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates and you see the blue text in the top left corner of the screen, release just the power button

[Q] Problem with loading into recovery

Hi guys I need help..
I was putting a custom hboot through bootloader. After i successfully did that i realized that the down hardware button isnt working... Now the only method to load into recovery that i know is pushing down and power buttons together.
Since down button not working I can not load recovery and so can not install any rom
Can anyone help me with this ?
Is there any alternate method to load recovery?
Pull battery out n put back in then press n hold back button + power, thats u in fastboot, then press power button on bootloader then use volume up button to scroll through menu to recovery.
Thanks for the help
