Third part of the guide.

Also, since in the other thread you asked about the same thing you said you couldn't find the drivers..

thank you very much for the help. I downloaded the Acer driver but i am still having the same problem which is when i launch the recovery.cmd i follow the on screen instructions which keeps telling m to press any key and after 3-4 commands, the command screen disappears and nothing happens...what is wrong?

Maybe first I should ask..

Is your phone in debug mode before you start the recovery?

After pressing enter once....

you should get a notice with a device number. Is a number displaying? (on the terminal window on your PC)

After pressing enter twice...

Is the screen with the three coloured squares showing up?(on your phone)

Actually I get the feeling...after thinking about it in the bathroom...where all good thinking happens....

Without doing anything else..

Can you boot into recovery?

Toggle signature verification

and try the su zip again.

Md5 is a checksum. It's best practice to to check the md5 before flashing the Rom. Generally the dev will list the md5 hash in the post containing the rom, you download the Rom, copy it to the SDcard and then check the md5 with a program. If it's the same then you can be confident that the file downloaded and copied to the SDcard without corruption, and the flash will be ok.
