Thank you to all the DEV'S who have made this possible BIG UPS TO YOU
This worked for me, and in theory if my instructions are followed carefully it will work for you.
However if your results are not the same I am in no way responsible for any dammage done to your tablet!
THE GOOD STUFF
This was tested on Acer A100 on the latest ICS LEAK found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510706
Also my PC is running windows 7 x64
(Follow install instructions carefully)
First install the latest ICS leak http://vache-android.com/v1/index.ph...files&file=148
Once complete do a factory data reset on your device from the settings/backup and restore menu on the tablet
When that is complete, Root your Device using the method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646
( again Follow instructions Carefully )
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOUR DEVICE IS ROOTED BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!!
Unlock your BOOTLOADER using the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557445
(Really be careful here!)
This is where it gets tricky download http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=369 for your OS and extract recovery_thor17_403.img to the root of your platform-tools folder for instance mine is C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Once completed on your PC open a command prompt as an administrator and navigate to your platform-tools folder from cmd prompt e.g. cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools and hit enter
next type the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
once in bootloader mode type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_thor17_403.img
and hit enter you will see it flash to your device within a couple of seconds.
once complete with the tablet in upright landscape mode ( home button on the right hand side ) power the device down and power it back on while holding the leftmost volume button firmly when it vibrates you may release the power button.
continue to hold the volume button until you see Booting recovery kernel image on the screen.
if all went well you now have cwm on your device
now for rom manager!
boot back into android OS and navigate to the google market, search for rom manager in the upper search pane.
download the app and install
open the app and press ok
next press flask clockworkmod recovery
next confirm your phone model
a popup will say your device is not officially supported press yes
next confirm version 3.x+
and you should be good to go

First check out this post http://www.acertabletforum.com/foru...rkmod-recovery-your-acer-iconia-tab-a200.html
Download the updated file from the above website, extract it to your desktop, and run acera200simpletool.bat and follow the onscreen instructions.
Once complete download the rom manager app from the market and install it.
Once installed open from manager and choose flash clockwork mod recovery from the top of the list, then confirm your device is Acer a100. It will say there is currently no recovery for your device and ask if you installed a custom one, choose yes and select the second option it should say 3.x.x or something to that effect. Again confirm your selection and tada you now have cwm and a working from manager. I have tested this and made a complete backup already. Cheers

hello masterpcker...Did you install anything else first? Were you just using the standard a100 root? Also, did you unlock your bootloader beforehand? thanks so much friend
Yes I unlocked my boot loader first, and my device was rooted so all I did was run the .bat file from the above website and choose option 3 install recovery only. I am about to try a modded a500 from and see what it does.

I will be eager to hear how that comes out! I wish you the best of luck, but I'm not real confident. let us know the outcome if you don't mind....good luck!
For some reason I followed the directions to install CWM and it doesn't work.
When I try to boot to recovery all I see is the android mascot on it's back with a warning sign. If I press the home button it brings up the Android System Recovery, which I believe is the stock recovery. I'm not even sure how to select the items. I can only highlight the menu items using the volume keys.
It doesn't look like the cwm that I have flashed on my atrix.
Any ideas?
Edit...
Btw, I did unlock my bootloader
Well the a500 modded rom was a bust, it just booted to a really colorful screen lol. But my Android backup worked great for reinstall

@masterpker2...are you running linux? i am running windows 7 here and i am getting a [cant install recovery.img] from the a200 batch.....did you have any problems with this to begin with? thanks

What's the syntax did you use to dd to the device?
I found this dd syntax in the other thread. That the same one you used?
Code:
su
dd if=/mnt/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
-Extract the zip folder "recoverycwma100" ( It's a recovery into Acer a200 simple tool )
-Copy ''recovery.img'' into your external sd card
-open a terminal emulator to your A100 ( root acces !!! )
- Write the following commands :
su
dd if = / mnt / external_sd / recovery.img of = / dev/block/mmcblk0p1
-wait a message '' xxxx bytes transferred in... ''
-exit terminal
-open root explorer with a mount system
-rename the file '' install-recovery.sh'' into /etc/ it '' install-recovery.bak''
Reboot into recovery with volum down + power , and Enjoy

Can't we just go into fastboot and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you're running linux or just want to use adb it's way more simple than it looks.
Code:
Adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
And if you brick your device by accidently installing the wrong boot.img
find your respected rom .zip file that you are currently using and use this.
Code:
Adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

I can confirm that I have already flashed the recovery.img via fastboot, however cwm still fails on my particular tab. I did a full factory reset and flashed the entire new ics through recovery with the exact same results. I will be investigating the cause of some tabs doing this later tonight when I get home from work. If someone figures this out please post. I have gotten the recovery.img to flash via the a200cwm, however android exclamation upon recovery attempt. i have tried all three paths with no success. I am almost certain that it is a problem with the rooting method, but i won't have time to have a look until tonight. thanks and goodluck! I think the problem could be because of installing different rooting methods in the past, however I have yet to find a way to solve it.
Hello guys, first, sorry for my bad english
I was asked many times how to update CWM, I have sometimes made a little guide!
the installation:
To use the ClockworkMod recovery, you have to install it to first on your device. This is relatively simple and is implemented using the fastboot commands from the Android SDK. To install the recovery so you need:
-the Android SDK with fastboot.exe
-the right Recovery.img
First, turn off your phone and your start up in bootloader. How is that working with the many devices usually different. If your in the boot loader since, you go to the option "Fast Boot" by your using the Volume Down and Volume Up keys to navigate to the item and then press the power button once. If your boat has been in fast, you will start to enter a new CMD window with "Windows Key + R" and CMD. Press ENTER again and the cmd window should appear. Now you have spingen her to the place by the fastboot.exe exists. In our case, it goes like this:
cd C: \ tools adb
In the folder is copied by the fastboot.exe You now have the recovery.img Once you have your cell phone now infected, provided that the USB driver installed, you give into the CMD window the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The file is recovery.img while the ClockworkMod recovery. After the command is executed successfully, the ClockworkMod recovery is successfully installed.
if there are any questions, just write
Some times hard to follow your English but very good guide thanks for sharing

or you could possibly download rom manager from the play store and flash clockworkmod recovery?
yes, this is possibly too, but than you maybe have not the latest version of the CWM

Many thanks on this! After two plus years from this post I was struggling with the same trying to flash CWM 6 over TWRP. This one helped.
I did it through TWRP's terminal (Advanced / Terminal Command), and after choosing folder where the img is, typing the command you gave.
My usb is corroded and I cannot connect to a computer to get into fastboot. I'm trying to be as careful as I can so that I don't brick my phone, but I need to update my CWM Recovery. If anyone has suggestions, or guidance, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Follow these steps exactly and you will have the latest Recovery running. You do not need a PC for this method.
1) Download correct Clockworkmod ot TWRP (touch or regular as you wish) for your device
2) Rename it to recovery.IMG and place it at the root of your internal sdcard
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the Play Store
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Be sure that you have typed the above code correctly. You will not see a confirmation. It is done almost instantly.
5) Reboot into recovery and enjoy
I don't remember the commands, had to do it about 3 years ago, but you can do it from terminal emulator. A Google search should give the results you need.
I don't use cwm prefer twrp which can be done from the goomanger app I believe it can be done from rom manager though.

I considered TWRP, but was scared to change out of fear something would go wrong... I think I will probably go that route. thanks!
EDIT: Tried to use Goo.mgr to install TWRP. It downloaded and went through the process, but recovery still loads CWM.
Found this on TWPR's website:
Paul Ireland • 11 months ago
So, I had a question. I couldn't really find any guides on how to install this if you already have CWM. I tried using goomanager to install and it would go through and say everything had completed, but when I'd reboot into recovery, I'd still have CWM.
My response, was to .tar the recovery image and install via ODIN.
Everything seems to have installed OK, I successfully flashed a ROM with it, but are there any drawbacks (other than the flash counter) to this method?

Does your USB port work? If it does, you can flash TWRP via Odin.
My odin doesn't flashes it.
I did all the steps that we should do to flash a recovery but when it completes my device stucks at the boot logo and then again i have to flash my stock recovery to get it back running.
Which recovery are you flashing? This is TWRP for the d2lte: https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/
Download the latest tar version of TWRP, open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash, when you see reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot directly into recovery mode.
Not working
Thanks for the suggestion but i did all the same steps but not working i download TWRP officially but when I flash it with odin it stucks at the boot and then I have to flash the stock recovery to get it back running.
Just to confirm but the phone being flashed is an i747?
Why not buy a new usb cable?

The shell command referenced in the OP dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 is highly device specific. You would need to make sure you use the right command for your device, as you are specifying the recovery partition with /dev/block/mmcblk0p18. Having said that, newer devices which use the A/B partition scheme don't have a recovery partition, so this entire thread is not applicable.

Make sure you are dropping the file on internal SD and not external.
I put it in both just in case . do i have the command wrong? my twrp is 12mb
the error im getting is no such file or directory.
Why not flash by recovery?
anyone have any suggestions?
r u sure the twrp file name is correct?
yeah its twrp.img
Try /storage/sdcard0
Can use Flasify app to flash recovery image.
Or Partition backup app to flash recovery partition.

verify that ur device is detected by

then do fastboot flash recovery "path to the twrp file on the pc"
for example "fastboot flash recovery d:\twrp.img"
Do that on ur own risk
For some reason doing it that way worked lol
did fastboot flash recovery c:\twrp.img
