Hello world !!!
I've created a project of a new kind : The RecoverX Project
The goal of this project is to gather ALL the recoveries for ALL android devices in ONE tool which install them on the devices. RecoverX is coded in C++ thanks to QtSDK and allow to install a recovery on more than 150 different devices !!!
You just have to select your device and the recovery, click "Install" and RecoverX does the rest !!! It's that simple
This program require different prerequesties, depending of your device
- Wether you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery partition (and fastboot drivers on your PC)
- Wether you need root access and usb debugging activated (if busybox is not installed, RecoverX will ask you the permission to install it).
This program have been published on XDA News : Here
Here is the list of supported devices :
Finally, a small preview
Awesome !!! Where is the download link ???
Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
Thanks...bit I'm sccurred.
Who has tested this on their a100? You?

I was feeling ballsy so I gave it a go. Went from TWRP and with this tool I installed CWM with no issues.
I shall give it a go when I get out of work today. Thanks.
Your welcome
Ok, I am going to give this rooting of the A100 and unlocking of the bootloader. Just a question... Say I use method 1 and root, then do the unlock procedure... at that time after those two steps, could I just download the latest CWM from playstore, install, and then make a Stock ICS backup... then procede to downloading and flashing a Rom? Do we have to install CWM in the way shown here? Also, once I unlock the bootloader, does it stay that way until I lock it back?

You cannot download CWM from the playstore. CWM is a custom recovery and it is specific to each device. You will have to get it from here. Also if you unlock your bootloader, it will stay locked until you relock it, but as a word of advice: do not re-lock your bootloader. If you do any you have something like CWM installed, then you are toast.

So, once I flash the custom recovery (CWM) is there ever a way to go back to stock recovery, in order to re lock the bootloader to flash a stock rom back to it? If I understand correctly, if I had a custom CWM recovery, I would not be able to flash a stock ICS rom, unless it was th nandroid backup?
Yea if you start playing with custom ROMs you can always go back. There are threads in the Acer A100 forums with specific instructions of how to do it. Make sure you read them carefully and perform all the steps in order. Essentially you would need to flash the stock recovery back to your tablet, and then from there you can download the update.zip that ZeroNull has posted and then flash it to go back to stock everything. I had to do that in order to create my first ROM based on the newest Acer build of ICS.

So, logically, once I root, unlock, flash CWM... then I can do a nandroid backup through CWM.. and essentially have a "Stock" image to go back to if I bork something up? And, that being said, since the A100 will never see a true official JB update, would I really ever need to go back to a unlocked bootloader and stock recovery? If I wanted to go back so to speak, I could just reload my backup?
---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------
Oh, and this method looks pretty easy to put CWM on.. i assume I just install the zip on my PC and hook up my rooted, unlocked, and backed up ICS and flash?

The backup won't touch the bootloader and it'll always restore back cwm. There's threads about returning to stock, like full stock. The nandroid would restore you to how it was when you backed up, meaning stock rooted ics with unlocked bootloader and cwm recovery.

which would be good, since I dont really need to worry about going back to unlocked stock since there will never be any updates.. right? I just want to make sure I have a firm grasp on this ting.. I already had to send it back once and I never even flashed anything.. lol.. Is there any fully functional JB roms yet for this? As for ICS roms, which one is most complete as I use all the camera features and such..

The easiest way if your still on stock unlocked ICS, is to download 'quick boot' from the play store.

Quick boot is an app that will allow you to boot to the recovery, boot loader, power off, or standard reboot. Just by pressing a button.
Ahh, I was under the impression that this app would reboot the tablet for you into fast boot to flash the recovery. So never mind me, if it is telling you to manually do it.

Hello,
I want to go back to the latest stock roms because i don't enjoy the current roms that are out.
And i can't use what i want on a custom rom but i can on the stock.
Can someone explain to me how to go back to stock?
Thanks,

you cant update when you are on unlocked bootloader, you need to relocked first.

You need to relock only when going to use SUS/PCC. Flashtool, no need.

Don't flash ICS - the ICS bootloader is locked and will throw up a security error if you try and install a custom recovery.
Otherwise the steps are correct.

ok, so skip first one, just root...
any normal root option for 2.3.5?
you can root then install CWM recovery if you think that your device doesn't have secure bootloader.
if you try to boot into CWM recovery and you get a fast boot error, it means you have to unbrick using the unbricking guides found in the general forums, then flash cm10.1

dont try to install CM 10.1 if u aren't comfortable performing steps on unbricking guides, read one of them first then decide.

if you try to boot into CWM recovery with a secure bootloader your phone gets bricked, thats why i say dont do it unless ur comfortable unbricking. make sure ur phone is fully charged when u try to boot into cwm for first time

I am running Liquid Nitro v7 and intend to try CM10.1 RC2 later.
I tried to flash the bootloader and JSS15R, de-odexed, but it can't get past the bootloop... Any thoughts? No tablet UI mod thing.
Tried to flash this, but it's still won't boot...
Any suggestions?
Honestly I'd use fastboot and wipe the entire device and then flash the factory images. That way everything is updated, you'll then need to fastboot flash a custom recovery.

Do you know when the OTA for JLS36R started rolling out? If it was recently, like last 7-10 days, Google probably hasn't released the factory images yet, but should soon (assuming everything is OK with 36R).

You will get the prompt for it, but if anything in /system is modified (like if you're rooted, flashed custom kernel) it won't work...custom recovery won't work either. You can flash the stock recovery in the zip that holds the 36C files using fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
On my wifi I had a custom kernel, and when to use the "adb sideload" command to flash the official zip, and it failed due to the boot.img being modified (not stock), plus I had deleted some files from /system/app which it didn't like.
I need to run an app, only occasionally, that can not be run with root. None of the "hide my root" type apps work. Can I flash an unrooted rom in TWR Recovery, make a nandroid, and just restore the unrooted rom when I need it? Then restore my MOAR rom when done? Any unrooted roms that make this easy?
As long as you keep your custom recovery then you should be able to accomplish this. Billard412 has a nice 'return to stock' rom, just read the OP, make sure you flash the recovery file before you reboot.

Flashing any recovery or kernel trips the warranty bit. No way around that and no way to reset it I'm sorry to say. Since you've flashed recovery its likely tripped already so flashing kernels and roms won't make any difference anymore. The binary counter doesn't matter as its easily reset. But if you have a custom kernel or recovery it'll retrip to 1 every time you boot.

You can flash Any of these roms via Custom Recovery TWRP and you will do fine.
Do note, some people have mentioned that with a 4.2.x or 4.1.x Roms, sometimes their IMEI goes missing. So take a Nandroid and EFS Backup before hand.

If you mean you made a nandroid backup, that is completely different and does not include any of the NV data. The backup I mentioned is intended to protect you from ever losing your imei in the first place.

I used this method.
Ok , first, never use anything you find in the international models forum for any US model. They are very, very different devices. If you made an image from mmcblk0p3 as stated in that thread, you actually made a copy of sbl2 I'm pretty sure.
Also, the imei, (the important thing here) is not actually stored on the efs partition as it is in some other devices.
Run the command I posted before for the best solution. If NV corruption is ever detected, it should auto restore from this backup during boot up.
And again, stay away from the international forums. Most of the info there will not apply to our devices here and many, many people have bricked due to that mistake.
And delete the backup you made. If you were to try and restore it to your device after updating it at some point, it would most likely cause a brick.
OK thanks I'll get on that . I flashed a remix ROM and everything seems good right now. I'll try to back it up today.

Read up on Kit Kat, you might not want to upgrade. You will lose write access to the SDCard. There are ways to then fix it, but you could lose function in some of your apps. Samsung finally adopted the Android specs for write access.
