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.

I can get into the page recovery and i can use the volume up/down buttons to navigate but i select an option and touch the left botton and apears a simbol. that image stay on the phone until i touch again the left botton or the power botton and i go again to menu recovery. the text in the recovery menu is blue and i remenber that to chose an option there the text was in yellow. To live recovery menu i have to take the battery out. More or less the samething in download mode. the page apeares but i touch up to go download mode nothing apens or down to leave this mode and nothing apens again. i only can leave by taking out the battery.
I already tried that of taking the sd card off but that don't solve the 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.

Rom manager updated clockwork recover adn now it wont work

OK so i let rom manager update clockwork recovery and now I can get into clockwork recovery but when i pick an option my screen goes black. I can hit home or power and it goes back to the first screen, but I can't flash or get access to anything past the first screen.
Lol, we need to make this issue into some sort of slide joke (anyone?).
Anyway, 2.5.0.1 doesn't use the power button to select things anymore. Use the trackpad on your phone to scroll and select things. We all freaked out the first time this happened to us

[Q] URGENT CWM button not working

Hi
Just got into recovery mode.... trying to flash ARHD ROM. Currently have LeeDroid.
Anyway, got into recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, like I did when I flashed LeeDroid. Once it said, "Data wipe complete.", I must have pressed something and now it says, "Back menu button disabled.".
I can go up and down on the Recovery menu, but when I try to select something using the Power button, all I get is a white box with the little green Android jumping out of it !
can't power off, restart, cant select anything... and I dont think the phone is chargin when in Recovery mode ! Alas !
What to do !!
I should have all my zip ROM files still on SD card !

I faced this kind of problem few days back. Just take of your battery and again enter into ur bootloader and next recovery. Don't know more than this. Hope your issue will be solved

Try holding down the volume down button. I had this last week & holding the vol down button re-enabled it.

Pull your battery then hold the phone side ways & put it back in as soon as its back in, without even putting the side back on, hold the volume down button and power button and you should go into the bootloader. Now put the case back on without losing contact with the battery (bit fiddly) then look.at the screen & you'll see an option for recovery. Chose that using volume keys n power button. Then proceed as normal. Their may be another way but its happened to me after a wipe before n that's what I done

A bit reluctant on taking the battery out just yet ...
Hopefully there is a way to get the Back menu button enabled without doing that !

Just press the volume button down several times, browsing through the menu.. down down down, and it should re-apear..
That worked for me, and other´s
Edit: Don´t hold the vol button down, press it several times
What does YOUR button have to do with development???
That´s true, should be moved to general...

[Q] Can't seem to enter recovery mode.

Hi, I'm trying to flash Clockworkmod using this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593&highlight=clockworkmod+recovery&page=10
But now I don't seem to be able to get it to go into recovery mode at all any more.
I hold down up home and pwer and it gets to the screen with the picture of the android and the box with the arrow coming out of it. But then it just seems to reboot.
The phone still works other than that.
Is there a knack to getting it into recovery mode thaqt I just haven't got?
Ok I've managed to get it into recovery (but only once- there's clearly a knack to it I'm missing)
But the problem now is that it's still the stock recovery.
My phone is rooted and debugging is on.
any ideas (on either)

I seem to have the same problem, did you figure out how to go in recovery without getting reboot right after you press the menu button?
EDIT: I might have been pressing buttons in the wrong order or too long/short. As soon as I see samsung logo I released power button and I holded menu button a bit longer. I'm not sure about the last one tried again with a short press and it worked as well, I think the most important thing here is when to release power button.

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 ?

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.

Step by step solution:-
1.I think you are on stock recovery Install TWRP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938733
2.Download the custom rom (probably would be a xyz.zip file)
3.Put it on sd card,go to recovery , install zip from sd card,browse to xyz.zip and install..
That should do it.
Just flash twrp 2.3.3.2 from their site.
They have explained many different ways.
