Also, since in the other thread you asked about the same thing you said you couldn't find the drivers.. http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Application/Application/Application_Acer_1.0_A22F_A.zip?acerid=634261811335479139&Step1=Smart%20Handheld&Step2=Liquid&Step3=Liquid%20MT%20(S120)&OS=a04&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_4 Edited November 25, 2011 by Smeelious
Guest basem1970 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 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) Edited November 25, 2011 by Smeelious
Guest Smeelious Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 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?

E:failed to verify whole-file signature E: signature verification failed installation aborted Goto install zip from sdcard Toggle signature verification and try the su zip again.
Guest basem1970 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 sorry but where can i find (toggle signature verification)?..when i log into recovery mode i get 4 options (Reboot, apply sd card:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition)and when i choose apply sd card update i get the following ../ the su zip .android_secure/ .dataviz/ Android/ DCIM/ Lost.DIR/ documents/
Guest Smeelious Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Sounds like my bathroom thinking didn't pan out. Boot as normal, and try to install recovery again.
Guest basem1970 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 thanks for trying..i think i will leave it for tonight...may be the morning bathroom visit will bring more ideas

Guest basem1970 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 thank you guys...mine is not called clockwork mod recovery as in the picture!!also what is Md5?
Guest Chrisund123 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 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.
