Hi there.
As the above title says, what happen if I do so?
I do not have recovery version 2.5.1.3 in my ROM Manager anymore(I have no idea know why). Also do not have 3.0.2.5.
The only recovery I have is 2.5.1.4, 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6 and 3.0.2.4. Plus I am unable to flash 2.5.1.4 version(it pops up an error)
Some have no issues, but some have experienced issues when trying to restore cwm backups.
Have a look in the LeeDrOiD 2.2.3 thread a few days ago. I have posted methods to manually flash it via a tool or adb commands. I have also provided dl links as well.

Hi Upintheair
Thanks for the reply. Erm.. do you remember the exact date you post that in LeeDroid's thread? The thread is overloading. I cannot find them. =(
From Index of /cm/recoveries Download recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img
Try one of these 2 tools, instructions are on the threads;
1. Thread: [TOOL][All devices & OS] Fastboot Commander [v.1.1]
Download: Fastboot Commander v1.1
2. Thread: Android Flasher
Download: [UTILITY] Android Flasher(Recovery,splash1,Radio,HBOOT,bootanim)[V1.7.4]
OR
Manually through ADB:
1. Place the image in where fastboot.exe is located.
2. Connect phone to PC with Bootloader FASTBOOT USB
3. Using commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img", then "fastboot reboot", recovery
3. Using commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img", then "fastboot reboot", recovery

I tried many threads and find no answer to my question.
On my ubuntu I installed adb and can't remember about fastboot.exe whether it was installed by default or I downloaded it. And know I lost it - deleted accidentally.
1.My ques is where can I find it I mean fastboot? I reconfigured my adb back but there is no fastboot.
2. Can I use fastboot-linux from CWM 3.0.2.8 Installer instead?
It flashed cwm perfectly. But I am not shure about flashing radios and stuff.
Thanks for the links to the Leedroid cwm version

Warning: Flashing wrong radios or incorrectly can result in a BRICK !!! Your own risk..........
Edit: I would advise flashing through a battery only powered notebook, don't want a power surge or cut 1/2 way through a flash . Also ensure notebook & phone batteries have near full charge.
Fastboot Commander v1.1 is compatabe with Linux, there is instruction how to install the tool in the Dev's thread. It has everything you need in the zip, and no need for the adb / fastboot commands in CMD.
...............The first result Mr. Google gave me with the search string "download fastboot.exe" Choice of platforms; Windoes, Mac, Linux
Once extracted, just copy the files into your SDK folder where adb.exe is located (maybe tools or platform-tools........)
To make sure fastboot is working ok, boot phone into FASTBOOT, connect to PC & it will change to FASTBOOT USB. Open up CMD and navigate (cd\......) to the folder where adb & fastboot.exe is now located. Now type "fastboot devices", if connected & communicating correctly using Fastboot commands -> HTxxxxxxxxx, giving the device serial number.
If you want to use CMD:
Place image inside SDK folder where fastboot & adb.exe are located.
Rename it to radio.img (unless you like to type the whole name again)
CMD type: " fastboot flash radio radio.img", then
"fastboot reboot"
I am not too sure about Linux PCs, always been Windows until Android.
It is strange that CWM is not available to update TO 3.0.2.6 in ROM MANAGER...
this version is compatible with leedroid. you must to have installed ROM manager ver.4.1.0.0 from the android market..

You'll have to post that question to the ROM Manager Koush.
If you require a CWM Recovery version not listed in ROM Manager, flash through the methods I posted above. Links to Index of /cm/recoveries is there as well as xxxxxxx2.5.1.3-ace.img
OR
CMD: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img"
Thanks UpInTheAir
I'll try it later tonight. Guess I will try to manually flash them.
It is exactly how we flash radio using the radio flash tool but this time change the "radio" to "recovery"?? this time im suppose to use back the same tool right?
I just recalled I read it somewhere last time when I was learning how to flash new radio. x)

If you are referring to the "tool" as in the CMD (Command Prompt)?
If this is what you mean, the answer is Yes & Yes.
Most of the tools, some examples & links I've given, just save you time, not having to use the adb or fastboot commands, cd\ (navigate) to the location of adb.exe or fastboot.exe in the SDK folder etc. These tools can also do a lot more, particularly Fastboot Commander which can be run on Windows or Linux.
I just try it and it says "error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img" =(
This is what I do
1) Firstly when i was at the cmd window.. I type "adb reboot bootloader"
2) Then "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img"
and it pops up that error. =/

Ensure Fastboot is OFF & USB debugging ON in phone settings
When in FASTBOOT, does it say FASTBOOT USB when phone is connected?
Did you test Fastboot communication by command "fastboot devices"?
Make sure the recovery image is copied to the SDK folder where fastboot.exe & adb.exe is located.
Make sure the name is exact. You could also rename it to recovery.img , and the change the command to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (NO "quotes")
Edit: I see your signature is ENG S-off?, double check in HBOOT Bootloader. If the above still doesn't work, try the Fastboot Commander Tool, maybe your making a typo somewhere........
1. Ensure Fastboot is OFF & USB debugging ON in phone settings
Erm Im not sure about this, but I thought if we want to do anything such as flashing recovery we need to have Fastboot ON? Just to double confirm first before I do anything. ^^
2. When in FASTBOOT, does it say FASTBOOT USB when phone is connected?
How do I check this? =/
3. Did you test Fastboot communication by command "fastboot devices"?
Same as the above. How do I check this?
4. Make sure the recovery image is copied to the SDK folder where fastboot.exe & adb.exe is located.
Yes. Checked.
5. Make sure the name is exact. You could also rename it to recovery.img , and the change the command to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (NO "quotes")
Tried. Did not work. Same error coming out.
I try flashing other recovery such as 3.0.2.6 but still the same error.

1. Mine works fine with usb debugging on & fastboot off.
2. Power off phone. HOLD volume down (don't release) & press power button once. Phone will boot into HBOOT, you will see FASTBOOT. Connect to pc with usb cable. Wait a few seconds and HBOOT will change to FASTBOOT USB.
3. Use Cmd (command prompt) in Windows. Pc to navigate to the sdk tools or platform tools folder (where fastboot.exe is located). Now type "fastboot devices", if you are communicating in fastboot, you will get HTxxxxxx (device serial number), and can now proceed with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If it doesn't work, you have not setup properly, or typo, I would suggest using fastboot commander tool.

I got my device number of HT0CCRX00128. Guess I've followed the steps you gave me correctly. Lol. But still the same results, error in flashing the recovery.
I will try that fastboot commander tool later tomorrow. It's getting late here and have to wake up early for work. Plus I havent read that thread properly yet. Lol.
Anyway thanks a lot ya.

i know, and I understand you, only I say that there are CWM's versions you very validate for flash apart from the recommended ones that work perfectly, I am flashing with the current one (leedroid, coredroid, hd rev ..) and it me works to the perfection and the nandroid also.
Certainly .... which is the meaning of "koush"???

Here are two zip files: Recovery 3.0.2.8 & 2.5.1.3.
3.0.2.8 doesn't show in ROM Manager, but version shows when boot into CWM Recovery, so no worries.
Reference Thread: [RELEASE][25/04/2011] ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.8
I downloaded 3.0.2.8 from the above thread, extracted replaced the 3.0.2.8 image with 2.5.1.3 image (renamed recovery.img), and zipped again to upload.
View attachment Recovery_Ace_v2.5.1.3.zip
View attachment Recovery_Ace_v3.0.2.8.zip
Installation:
1. Power off your DHD
2. Put it in bootloader mode; Power+Vol down and select Fastboot from menu.
3. Plug-in the USB cable. (FASTBOOT USB)
4. Extract xxxx.zip
5. Double click on install-recovery-windows.bat if you're using windows, execute install-recovery-linux.sh if you're on linux or install-recovery-mac.sh if MacOSX.
6. Done! The device will be automatically rebooted.
7. If the version doesn't show in ROM Manager, reboot into recovery to check version actually installed.
I tested the windows commands and worked perfect Linux should too!!
I do recommend you read up a bit yourself on adb & fastboot commands, and if you aren't able to do that, use the flashing tools provided by the various Devs, thanks to them, life is much easier.
Thanks UpInTheAir!
I actually managed to get 2.5.1.3 installed and now I can continue flashing ROMs! Lol.
Erm why wouldnt recovery version show in the ROM Manager? My ROM Manager still shows it is 3.0.0.6 but in the recovery it shows as 2.5.1.3. Thats pretty weird isnt it?
Oops. I am trying to flash ARHD now, but halfway through it "stuck" in recovery and says: /tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
What happen here? Its getting complex. =/

hi...
can any1 tell me how to install custom roms using pc...........
i have searched the forum....but couldnt find any answer.................
sorry for starting a new thread........
thanks in advance
General Method:
- find, download and copy a flashable rom called "fullwipe 1.3" to the sd
- copy the zip with the rom you want to load in it to your sd card
- reboot into cwm recovery
- install zip from sd card
- choose the fullwipe 1.3 zip
- install
- then choose the rom's zip
- install
- reboot
wait for it to load. there you go.
For more advanced rom's, you must make directory's on your sd card for them to work properly. Follow instructions posted by the Rom's developer for proper installation.
thanks bro..........4 all ur help..............
1 more question........
what about using it through the fone......
i mean .....after downloading through the rom manager..........should i follow the same procedure ????
question
I rooted today, s-off & eng-off, installed rom manager
what do i have to do to get clockwork to work
I try booting into recovery but, display goes blank & has a red triangle symbol & after many minutes nothing happens..... can some inform me of the step I may have missed or something i can do to verify that i have the device set up properly.
Hopefully Thanks in advance.

I can appreciate that, but I need to know what to do. I try to do that & i get an error while attempting to run privileged commands. Flashing sounds all great but I cant seem to get it to do anything in recovery... error issues trying to do that, or anything else, I also have super user update issues that say they put a recovery image on the sd card & to go boot that from within recovery.
Just hoping to find out why i cant do the simple things everyone speaks of.

Well if you can't flash recovery from Rom Manager then there's something wrong with your root privileges or s-offs... Just to make things clear, how did you try to flash the recovery?
AT THE TOP OF THE BOOTLOADER IT MUST SAY "... ENG S-OFF RL" FOR THIS TO WORK
With the device connected, boot into bootloader and select FASTBOOT and press power once.
It will now show FASTBOOT USB, and give you 4 options.
Download the newest 4.x.x.x version of the cwm recovery from the dev section.
Download My Toolkit and Extract to C:\
In the recovery zip that you downloaded from the dev thread, find the "recovery.img" and extract it to the RESOURCE folder of my toolkit. (make sure its only the recovery.img and not the folders it sits in)
open up a command prompt (windows key + R, type "cmd" and hit enter)
type in: cd "C:\HTC ACE TOOLKIT\RESOURCE" and hit enter.
the prompt should now be in that directory.
now type in the following EXACTLY and press enter afterwards:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Let it flash, and badaboom, you have just flash cwm recovery.

well, in that toolkit i told you to download is a command script that does pretty much what I told you do to for the recovery.
Since you and I have the exact same phone I recommend grabbing the radio from the 2.52 korean build (Radio_12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M), and the rill's as well.
Here is the radio and ril (first 2 links, download via the dropbox links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630
make sure you're in bootloader > fastboot and it says FASTBOOT USB on the screen
take a radio.img from within the zip and drop it into the resource folder and then run the shorcut in the toolkit.
It will now flash the radio to your phone and reboot.
Now with the rill's you flash via cwm recovery, from the RIL zip you downloaded, off your sd card in the same way you would flash a rom.

I would Like to thank you for your help & support, I was a the step of having fastboot usb And on my pc I unziped the radio And droped the image in the resource folder, a window pops up (disk burner) only option to choose is DVD R Drive.... do I have to have the SD card unmouted as a disk drive to the computer?
leave disk burner outta this. lol
The phone should be in bootloader under "fastboot" so the highlighted area will say FASTBOOT USB (since your phone is connected to your pc).
If radio.img is in the RESOURCE folder of my toolkit, go back to the main folder (HTC ACE TOOLKIT) and just double click the "Flash Radio" shorcut.

Changed Rom
Changed rom last night & wanted to know weather I should flash the "rill's" & "radio" each time I change roms. I just did the radio now so hope that cures the tinny sound, also it sounded kinda tinny just playing music, is there a patch or something else to do or is all that fixed in the radio?
Any suggestion on roms to try? using Revolution HD right now.

it is not to hard, Download the zip I included which will have ADB, fastboot and drivers.
First step is to extract the files onto the C drive to make it easy.
Next is to plug your phone in and boot into HBOOT, then make sure it is in FASTBOOT. Now your computer should look for the drivers, if it has a hard time finding them, go to Device manger (go to start and type device manger), find your phone, you should see a yellow triangle with a exclamation with it. Tell it to search the folder that is named Android USB driver.
Also put the IMG file of the recovery into the Android ADB and Fastboot folder
Once that is done go into cmd
then type cd: C:/Android ADB and Fastboot
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.img
then type fastboot reboot
That should be it, I hope I remembered everything , if you need help, send me a message
I'll give it a try when I'm back home. Thanks to both of you

I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.
Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?
Thanks
by the way, is this compatible with G2s?
don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:
download a recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.
anyone can review my steps?
good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck
okay, I will try it in a little bit here.
In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.
The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.
Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
rename it to recovery and try again...
It's not loading the img file for some reason..

I tried using the simple root and clockwork mod method and now my a100 keeps cycling thru bootloaderversion 0.03.06-ics-ics (unlock mode) with green acer logo. If I reboot holding power+down sd update command recovery
update_package=sd card update.zip
booting recovery kernal image
then it starts cycling again.
Please can someone help!
same
Same thing here (or at least very similar). Hoping there's a simple solution like the "Odin back to stock" I can do on my SGS phone.
are you sure that the bootloader say "unlock mode"?
If so, then try this.
try this
Install the USB drivers on your PC if you haven't done it already. ( http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A100&OS=a08&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 )
install android SDK. ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html )
copy the update.zip file to your SD card root.
download TWRP recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608152 ) and place it in the platform-tools dir where the SDK was installed ( ex. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Once all that is done follow these steps
1) boot the tablet to fastboot mode
2) run command prompt on PC (cmd.exe)
3) cd to the platorm-tools dir
4) type the following lines one at a time.
adb.exe
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img (ex. recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
5) hold the vol down button on the tablet
6) type fastboot reboot.
The tablet should now reboot to the recovery program. Goto settings and mount the external SD card, then flash the update.zip by going to install.
Hope this helps

Did you rename/delete /etc/install-recovery.sh ?
I think you're not. Try to make hard reset, then boot normaly rename/delete this file and after that flash recovery again, it should work.
All it's explained here.
Thank you

Okay, I downloaded everything but my computer doesnt recognize my a100 anymore, only if I put the tablet into fastboot then it see's it. My tablet just keeps on rebooting itself repeatedly unless I go into fastboot. Please tell me I dont have a paperweight.
were getting close
Blackshinobi or anyone that can help,
I'm getting close. I make it to: "fast boot flash recovey" cmd prompt
I get two different errors depending hoew I type the cmd prompt:
1. "fastboot flash recovery recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error (can not load recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
2. "fastboot flash recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error ( cannort determine image file name for 'recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
I was a little confuse on proper cmd line prompt, but I'm thinking #2 is the correct way.
Thanks so much for your help!

That's awesome news!!!
Number 1 is the correct command.
Just making sure you are actually in fastboot (bootloader) mode. On the command-promt type "fastboot devices", if you see the result below, then you're good
? fastboot (yes that's a question mark)
Now be sure you are in the directory with the recovery image and issue number 1 command (fastboot flash recovery whatever-recovery.img). If you get some errors, be sure to check the MD5 hash of the recovery image cuz it could be a corrupted download.
Of course, you can't flash the custom recovery if you still have a locked bootloader.
you guys rock..even closer
Thank-you everyone ..I am soooo close. I did get the recovery image to load (I accidently had it in android-sdk and not platform-tools...oooops my bad). Now I can reboot to recovery and install the update.zip off my external sd card. However after I install the update.zip and reboot, I still get stuck on the acer screen (bootloader version 0.03.06-ICS (Unlock Mode) at top with acer logo in green at bottom.
Which update.zip am I suppose to be using? Currently I am trying to install one of the stock ROMS from the developer section of this forum. Am I suppose to be using a specific one?
Thanks again, I know I'm close. My tablet has been brick'd for weeks and I'm dedicated to getting it back now that I have time.

Congrats resurrecting your tab! Gotta be a great relief!
How about Flexreaper ROM? It will require full wipe before flashing: in recovery wipe/factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash Flexreaper ROM zip file. This is basic guide, follow detailed instructions on this ROM thread (link is in my sig).
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
not quite recovered yet. I still get the hang on Acer screen. anyone know why? I will try flexreaper
I'm BACK
Thanks to all. I'm back up. flexreaper did work.. I hope the guy who actually started this thread is as lucky.
Not so lucky

Power down the unit. Set screen lock in the up position. Hold volume down and power. When powered on keep holding the vol down button. Then toggle the screen lock to down.
That should do a factory reset.
Then put a stock rom in the root of SD Card. Volume up then power until let the tablet recover.
This worked for me.
did u install the drivers from an earlier post? Also when you power up you your tablet you need to boot into fastboot mode? You're certain you have done both of these things?
I am unable to connect to, my pc doesnt recognize my acer anymore...unless by sd card you mean external card? Thank you for trying to help. I'm a serious noob but trying hard.
i'm in a similar situation. i accidentally deleted the build.prop file and rebooted. now it only displays a black screen after the acer logo drops out. my boot loader is locked but i cant install the mtp usb drivers to fix anything. think i have a paperweight now.

tried. i had no alternative recovery on it. i could not get the sd card mounted to push the zip to it. both adb and fast boot wont see my tablet. every attempt at unlocking fast boot wouldn't work. I tried to check in device manager to see if it was connected, the driver was working but it had an error message "Device can not start (Code 10)"
My pc only sees my tablet when I boot it into fastboot mode and sees it as an adb interface...Is there anything I can do from there?
