I flashed this rom onto my new liquid, using acer download tool 3.1.

After using it, I realized I didn't have root anymore, so I went to malez to get root. Then I realized I didn't have malez anymore (since it overwrote it). So I went to reinstall malez the same way I used to and it would not work. Immediately after displaying the malez splash screen it would reboot and go back into the ferrari rom. That's when I looked into superboot... I tried using superboot to install malez. I ended up with two different versions of superboot, one of them would not even get to the malez splash screen, and when I went to use the other it it rebooted, and now my phone will only show the "Acer" name and then reboot.

I can't get any fastboot/adb commands to work, I can't get any hardware button combos to work. If I take out the battery and try to boot it, into recovery, fastboot, or just regularly, I get vibration feedback but that's all I get.

I have a bad feeling about this. Any Ideas?

Edit: I just pushed Vol -, camera, power with the battery removed and the usb connected, and got:

" Partition Checksum

splash1:chksum =8ba9da08 OK

boot:chksum=338dd7f1 !=001ed108 **fail**

recovery:chksum=2b8b7b4b !=00216b18 **fail**

system:chksum =00000000 OK

<<FAIL>>"

Ferrari version has their own version of Malez. Did you get that right?

Nope... :/ I was dumb and assumed that since I didn't have the Ferrari version of the phone then I would still use the same recovery. Didn't think the rom would make me need the ferrari version of the recovery..

Is there anything I can do though?

[Guest Koki1337]

Which part are you stuck at now? Try getting into the OS again to get the new recovery in again?

[Guest ahsid]

Power + Volume up + camera (while unplugged of course) might make it recognizable again by Odin so you can flash it.

What happens when you do Volume Down+Power+Camera while unplugged?

[Guest HustlinDaily]

Scratch that.

Recovery is while unplugged, remove and replace battery. Hold down Volume - & Power & Camera. You should get 2-4 vibrations.

Let go, then hold down Power+Camera.

That should get you into recovery but since your recovery doesn't work, no idea what'll happen.

Have you tried Fastboot?

1. Remove battery and replace battery.

2. plug in PC-connected USB cable

3. Camera button + "<" then Power.

If you are lucky, you can get the Acer Tool to recognize the phone while in fastboot and flash a new ROM.

s*** man. I would have assumed the ferrari addition wouldn't have made a difference. I thought it was the same device, with a different case. Does your computer detect the phone at all? In my experience that's all it takes to get a good bin flash(my limited experience).

I totally have no idea. I'm using a Liquid E but I saw the FERRARI version of Malez when I downloaded it off the main website

Guess you'll have to remember what bin you flashed.

this makes two vibrations, screen stays off. but the computer makes a sound like it recognizes usb plugged in, but doesn't actually recognize anything. is there a different driver for this?

This is the only thing that has gotten the phone to do something different

[Guest Thmz159]

I thought benhaam had a tool for something like that, but he may not give it to other people...

The thing is that I don't have a Liquid anymore so I can't test it, but that's how I managed to get mine back from a brick. Maybe you didn't install all the necessary drivers the first time ? By the way, if my memory is correct, your phone should be recognized by the Acer tool and nothing else when in that mode (fastboot ?). Of course, there will be a notification in Windows, but the main idea is to see the phone in the Acer tool.

PS : forget about what I said about Odin, lol, that's a Samsung tool ^^

Sir, I love you. Thank god for the world still having people who don't overlook the small details :) I was too concentrated on doing everything manually and command line...

so it worked, kinda. At the very end of acer download tool it asked me for a Qcn file? I didn't have one so pushed cancel, and it said "error no qcn file found, needs restoring" or something like that.

but i went and tried to boot the rom anyways.... and it worked ;)

So now I'm back to that same ferrari rom. Can someone tell me what I should go about doing to do the RIGHT way of getting malez to work with this rom? Cause I don't want to go off and try the ferrari version of malez on this device after all that, unless someone recommends it first.

I would just assume that a Ferrari version has everything Ferrari. So my guess is getting Malez recovery for Ferrari version itself
