Guest Seth Cold Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) As a former adb noob I wasn't able to flash any recovery, i decided to modify Paul's superboot .bat for windows (sorry, my linux/osx knowlegdge is more limited) Steps: - Unzip recovery.zip to any folder - Add the recovery.img of your liking to that folder - Reboot your Liquid in bootloader mode - Double click on install-recovery-windows.bat voilà, recovery flashed!! I posted this somewhere else before, but i think it deserves its own thread, for easy access. Use this on your own risk, i hope this is helpful. EDIT: if you are having troubles entering the recovery (i.e. when you restart in recovery mode it restarts), doing this helped me (and upgraded my radio by the way :) ) Note you lose everything, so backup your data!! download: ACER Download Tool for A1 and Acer_Liquid_1.004.00.zip Use the "ACER Download Tool [single]" from the first and browse for Acer_Liquid_1.004.00_EMEA_GEN1_T1_e1ca22a636bec3314f7262d08c87dbaf.bin in the "Original Image"box. Use it with your phone in normal mode. So the steps would be: 1. Flash the 1.004 rom via acer downloader 2. Flash the custom recovery 3. (Optional) Flash a custom romrecovery.zip Edited January 8, 2010 by Seth Cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seth Cold Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) UPDATES 08/01/10 : Updated links to flash the 1.004 rom, now you dont have to download all the old rom to get the acer download tool, just the tool now (1.5mb vs 70mb) Edited January 8, 2010 by Seth Cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tomdotcom Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) I've installed the recovery via fastboot and through the recovery flasher, but still can't boot into recovery mode. tried: Volume UP + Camera + Power Volume DOWN+ Camera+ Power Tried Quickbootas well without any luck. I can't boot into Recovery. Can anyone help? Edited January 6, 2010 by tomdotcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lorents Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi, Havent tried Seth's recovery, but have found that I have to take out the battery and put it back before I press volume down + cam + power. If I just turn the phone off and press the buttons it wont go into recovery :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have a comment... they look like my batch files and binaries! You should have left the OSX and Mac ones in too! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seth Cold Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have a comment... they look like my batch files and binaries! You should have left the OSX and Mac ones in too! :) P Sure they are! I tweeted u about it before posting and state it in the first post, i just modified the .bat . About linux and osx i dont know how to edit .sh, if u can tell me how to or want to do it yourself, will be a great addition.

Guest Seth Cold Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah I am having the same issue. Clearly I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. the first thing that led me to "release"this flasher was precisely having that issue the first time i tried to flash a recvery (via fastboot command in the pc) the procedure i followed is now posted in this thread's first post, i hope it works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
