Recovery flasher in windows (+ original 1.004 complete rom flash instructions)

[Guest Seth Cold]

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 rom

recovery.zip

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)

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?

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 :)

[Guest ScR3am3r]

I've tested it but the cmd window stops with <waiting for device>. Liquid is pluged in and in Bootloader Mode.

any idea?

EDIT: solved it. sometimes its better to install the drivers :)

Works fine...well done

[Guest Charlton22]

Sorry for asking so dumb question! but I don't intend in this stuff..

What is the recovery flash used for?

[Guest Paul]

I have a comment... they look like my batch files and binaries! You should have left the OSX and Mac ones in too! :)

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. (Just got my macbook pro a few days ago)

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

[Guest disc0]

Sorry for asking, I just bought my Liquid and I'm still learning!

What is ACER_A1_0.029.03_EN.zip ??

Is that the new firmware?? What is the other zip for then??

Thanks
