Guest Splux Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hey! Recently I rooted my Liquid so I could try Android 2.1, and I rooted (or flashed, idk what the different is.. if it's any difference) it with Android 2.1 from Acer, a leak that I found. But I want to have Evil Eclair instead, but I can't get in to bootloader.. So I can't install superboot, and that makes it kinda hard to install Evil Eclair. And that's why I made this thread, to get help with how I should install Superboot, or if it excists any other way to get evil eclair installed. Some information that you might need; Build: Acer_liquidE_0.004.01_EMEA_GEN1 Kernel: 2.6.29 Firmwire: 2.1 So, is it anyone who can help me out with this? I'd really appreciate it. This leak is kinda laggy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kylenk Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 there is a different key combo under eclair to get into bootloader. I don't remember what it is....but after a bit of searching you should be able to find it..Good luck :). @neferym: that post is no help to him at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leak is kinda laggy :) Three options. 1. If you have a running system, install "Quickboot" from the Market. OR 2. Install Android SDK and use "adb" to send commands to the phone - like "adb reboot bootloader" OR 3. The other two answers are easier, though the second one requires a person be able to follow instructions...and many people for whatever reason, can't do that. So the third answer is http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...n-combinations/ Which says: 1. Remove battery and replace battery. 2. plug in PC-connected USB cable 3. Camera button + "<" then Power. Result: Fastboot / Bootloader Edited March 20, 2010 by linuxluver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, then I've tried it and I got some random text for 1sec. So I didn't have time to read it, but is it possible that it was the bootloader? I don't want to try again, when I don't really know what it was I did. And following instructions isn't so hard. That's what I did untill I came to that bootloader step.. The way they described didn't work:( And thanks for trying to help me out:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quipeace Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Life is much easier when you've got adb running properly, so go download the SDK (and set the enviroment variables, just use googles guide :)). With adb you can simply type "adb reboot xxx", where xxx could be bootloader, recovery etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pajn Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) >And following instructions isn't so hard. Not? then why didn't you do any of the alternative he gave you? "1. Remove battery and replace battery. 2. plug in PC-connected USB cable 3. Camera button + "<" then Power. " is NOT the same as "camer button+volume up and then press power" First, if your device does boots up do number one. If it doesn't do number two. And if it is to hard to read the instructions on how to install the SDK do number three. Edited March 20, 2010 by pajn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nvm, I've found a way that should work. Volume up+Camera button and then press power=bootloader. Is Evil Eclair faster/more stabil then Acer's leak?

Guest pajn Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 >I didn't think about that the Liquid got a button that looks like "<"..? Look at the screen, then look at the "acer logo", under that you have four buttons. If you look at the third button you would see something very close to a <.

But I understand you missed it, those are pretty hidden. I know exactly what you mean, I usually don't inspect all the buttons.. I know where to press so I can go backwards, that's enough, I don't have to know how the button looks^^ Well, I'll install Evil Eclair now. I can wipe everything I needs to wipe from superboot, or? First android phone, so I don't really know what I can do and what I can't do with the programs^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quipeace Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) What you will want to do in order: - Flash the leaked .bin file from acer - Copy eViLs .zip file to your SD card - Flash MalezRecovery: http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...recovery-image/ - Boot to recovery ("adb reboot recovery", or, if you're lucky, find the button combination) - When you're in recovery mode: - Wipe dalvic cache - Wipe cache (phone will reboot to recovery after this step) - Apply any .zip - select eViLs .zip - Reboot Now you should have a working eViL Eclair :) Edited March 20, 2010 by Quipeace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is the chance of getting a bricked phone when rooting? I can't find any answers for that question on google or in the forum.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quipeace Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Chances are very (very) low, Just follow the instructions and you will be fine. One tip: Don't sit at your computer to wait for the acer tool to finish, just walk away, watch some television and come back in 20 minutes or so.

Already got 2.1 leak from Acer, so I don't have to do that part:) Why can't they just make it easier to do this? Like when you're going to update; download a bin, use Acer's update tool and wait for 10 min, done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quipeace Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I suppose we don't have the proper tools to make the bins like Acer does, we can't extract the radio either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
