Ok heres the story. I was running on stock 1.100.09 GEN1 and i decided to flash Xian v.1 Cyanogenmod. I did so and also flash the GPS-USB fix that is on the same page. Then, since i had problems accesing the market, I used the acer download tool to flash the newest 2.100.07.EMEA.GEN1 ROM. When i connected the phone on the PC, i got a couple of 'New Hrdware Wizard' messages, as if some hardware was not recognised on the PC, even though i had the acer drivers installed from previous flashings (maybe it was the drivers included in the ACER installers because the l1.100.09 ROM was flashed using the acer installer straight as it was from the website. I connected the phone to the PC and it said that the phone was connected so i started flashing. After the 'DSP1' step was completed, the flashing progress stopped at the point the the 'information ' box says 'Change mode, please wait. Download mode => OS download mode' And 'Device 01' is now 'Not conected..' and it stoped there!! Dont know what to do, I dont dare touching the phone or unplugging it, please, if anyone has any suggestion it would be greatly appreciated if ud share it. Please help me unbrick my liquid... :huh: Thanx in advance people....

Edit1: Just to clarify, the phone never got to the point that i get to see some text on its screen.. If this is any help to anyone...

Edit2: Started to flash with 70%, which i believe is suffiecient

How long has the process been running? The area where it says "DO NOT UNPLUG USB", what does that say?

Tried it, no result. The phone looks dead.. oh god the trouble im puting myself into..

Don't panic, there's always a way to recover it, no matter what.

The first thing to try is booting into recovery mode, to do that:

1-unplug battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert battery

2-Hold Volume Up + Camera button and then press Power button, you should feel 2 quick vibrations if you did it right

3-The phone should boot into recovery mode. From there it should be recognized by the acer tool and you should be able to re-flash.

If you can't boot into recovery, boot into the bootloader (same process as point one above, but use the Volume Down button instead of the Volume Up one) and form that:

1-Flash malez recovery (http://code.google.com/p/acer-liquid-malez-recovery/wiki/howToInstall)

2-Boot into recovery (as explained earlier)

3-Re-Flash with acer tool

Thanx Master T (sound bit strange typing this) for ur reply. The 1 case didnt work, after tried the 2nd it booted up into malez recovery (it was installed before in order to flash Xian v.1). But i didnt understand what is the next step. While in recovery i connect again to the PC? Do i have to restart the Acer DT and start flashin from the beginning? Thanx again

While you are in recovery mode, you should be able to flash the new imagen using the Acer Installer (the one coming with the image as an EXE), following the instructions like a normal flash, or you can use the Acer Download Tools, using a BIN. In the second case, just connect the phone to the USB and proceed flashing by just selecting the BIN image and pressing the Start button.

Thanx for the reply, i will try now using Acer's installer (exe).

Glad to see you are back up and running :huh:

Out of curiosity, did you install 2.100.07 or 1.100.09?

BTW, it is possible that your Market problems are Google related- http://android.modaco.com/content-page/316...-gen1/page/80/#

Malez also had this problem on Eclair and it worked after he retried several times. And this post I linked to had it fail on Xian/Koud and it worked several hours later.

Ok thanx for the tip. Hope i wont have any problems flashing Xian v1 over 2.100.07, i read on the new ROM topic that other users did it succesfully.. Lets see (im not pushing my luck, am i?)

Youre right mate.. I did panic only because i stayed away from custom ROMs for a long time for safety reasons (if u dont understand something completely better not touch it) and when i finally felt well-informed on what i had to do and tried it, i sort of messed up.. Anyway thanx to everybody that helped, u guys rock! (and make this community thrive)

Hello i though i could borrow your thread,

When i flashed it stuck and now i cant go in to recovery mode. When i press Vol + camera and power the phone vibrate 2 times but nothing else happends. And when i just press power it says:

USB fastboot v1.10.00

HW versin v.04

Machine *(lots of numbers)

Build date 17 aug 2010

Serial number ******************

Usb_init

The Acer tool finds the phone but its Connected AMSS and when i start flashing the tool tells me ERROR "Please choose valid comport" [in reconnect]

Any ideas???

That is not recovery mode, that is fastboot/bootloader.

Try a different USB port
