Hope this is ok with you PTESMOKE...

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THIS IS ONLY TO TRANSFER THE RECOVERY IMAGE... YOU MUST FOLLOW EVERYTHING UNTIL ITS TIME FOR CLOCKWORKMOD TO BE INSTALLED...

(You need to have Terminal Emulator for this to work, download if nessesary)​

*** You can download the file directly from your tablet, no need for a PC ***​

1.) Get the file attached and unzip to the /sdcard/ directory (NOT /external_sd/ which is your microSD)

2.) Open TERMINAL EMULATOR and type: su (This requires ROOT access)

3.) Then type: sh /mnt/sdcard/rec.sh

Let the fireworks burn my friends... No need for a PC to flash the RECOVERY IMAGE... jejeje

Enjoy

Thank you very much for this. I couldn't get the other method to take, but this one installed on the first time with no problems. Thanks again.

Ok Guys what am I missing? I have read through this entire thread and am now confused as to whether some of these "issues" (mount system) are related to this recovery or the installation of CM9?

In my mind, flashing a new recovery would have no impact on root so I'm assuming that some CM9 issues are being discussed here. Correct?

If not, and since I DO plan on flashing CM9 if anybody would be so kind as to give me a quick down and dirty outline I would appreciate it. I will look up the appropriate threads but I have been away for awhile and am somewhat confused.

Bottom line to my confusion ... When do the step's outlined by Gibson.Dubs (Post 61) get performed?? After Flashing CM9?

Thanks!

Have root, unlocked bootloader, however, when I follow the instructions and flash, after it says I flashed successfully and I reboot, it seems to overwrite the recovery back to stock

I performed these steps after flashing CM9 using the terminal emulator baked into the rom. I copied the tools directory extracted from ZeroNull's root script to /data/local/tools on my device and ran the commands I mentioned above. For the last part pertaining to getroot.sh I opened it with a text editor on my device, selected all and copied all of the text. I then switched to the terminal and pasted all of the text and pressed enter. After reboot my /system was able to be mounted rw with rootexplorer and other apps. This issue doesn't have anything to do with the recovery, just the rom. I later replaced my su file with a better one for ICS, that has much less segfaults and then upgraded to a more complete version of busybox, but not everyone will need to do that. I hope this helps.

Procédure d'installation en langue francaise.

Pour commencer assurez vous d'avoir bien mis a jour Adroid SDK.
Pour cela, allez dans le dossier d'Android du le disque C:\, ouvrez le et lancer "Android SDK Manager.exe"
Une fois la mise a jour effectuée,

-Copiez le fichier "recovery.img" dans le dossier "...\platform-tools\".

-Lancez via la barre des tache Windows la fenêtre CMD (faire "Executer..." et taper "cmd" dans la barre de texte).

-Dans la fenetre tapez "cd\", vous devez vous retrouver avec ceci "c:\"

-Tapez ensuite "cd c:\android" puis "cd platform-tools", vous devez vous retrouvez avec ceci "c:\android\plateform-tools>"

-Connectez votre tablette, qui doit êre allumé et sous Android.

-Tapez ensuite "adb devices", verifiez que votre périphérique est bien connecté.

-Tapez ensuite "adb reboot bootloader", votre tablette vas redémarrer une première fois puis redémarer en bootloader.

-Tapez ensuite "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" et vérifiez que le fichier s'écrit correctement, vous devriez avoir ceci :
"
sending 'recovery' (4870 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.343s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.302s]
finishing. Total time: 2.645s
"

-Si c'est le cas, tapez "fastboot reboot", la tablette redémarre.

-Votre tablette a maintenant le ClockWodMod recovery.

-BRAVO

But... apart that this recovery is for the A100, what are the differences between this recovery and "old" recovery? Isn't that OK? Has it any problem?

The only problem I came across is that it makes nandrod backups to the internal storage. Other than that it seemed to work as expected.

PS. CM9 with touch screen fixes and I will be complete.

So i went back to HC....and then redid this whole process...got to the point with the whole flashing of clockworkmod ..tried to go to recovery and I got the dead android....

I went ahead and did these instructions...STILL DEAD BOT...

I went ahead and renamed my install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak and still had the dead android when I tried to get into recovery...

Then ....I went ahead and followed the procedure AGAIN and it worked...


So i'm going to conclude...after changing install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak AND THEN doing the above will get this to work for anyone who is having problems..


Hi guys.
Im more of a lurker and normally find things out by reading people's posts, but i cant seem to change the "install-recovery.sh" to "install-recovery.sh.bak"
I'm using root browser but every time I try to change it, it doesn't save it.
Anyone have an adb command to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Correct if I'm wrong...but rename it to: install-recovery.bak

That should work

    Thank you to all the DEV'S who have made this possible.

    I am in no way responsible for any damage done to your tablet. Follow the instructions!
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Here it is guys, Stock CWM Recovery for the ACER A100.

    Before anything make sure you have the latest ICS leak C/O Vache, Root, and Unlocked Bootloader.

    Official ICS Leak c/o Vache:

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510706

    Root Instructions here:

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531646

    Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here:

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557445

    once you have done all of the above, you should be ready to flash this recovery. Make sure you have ADB up and working properly. And place the recovery.img in your working folder (see below)

    1- Open a command prompt in your working folder (usually in your platform tools, mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) make sure you are administrator.

    2- Connect Tablet to pc :) and get excited.

    3- Type: adb devices (verify your Tab is connected and listed)

    4- Type: adb reboot bootloader

    5- Once bootloader is in fastboot type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    You will see writing recovery, flashing recovery, etc.

    6- Once flashed Type: fastboot reboot

    7- Profit :)

    This recovery has been tested by myself, and is the first in a series of goodies coming :) please be patient, dont ask for ETA's as the DEV's are EXTREMELY hard at work and don't even have this device themselves. Big THANKS to all of them!


    Now keep in mind most mistakes are made in the location of where you opened the command prompt, just be sure the recovery.img is in the folder you are working in with the command prompt. If it isn't, well, it wont flash anything.

    Thought I'd stop in to say hi.

    Progress on this may be a little slow for the immediate future, as our primary focus has been getting the rom builds up for all the devices... the cwm based recovery is a by-product of the builds.
    Rest assured, we'll work on it as time allows.

    In the meantime, you've got a recovery that won't complain when you flash this

    Enjoy ;)

    edit: Check OP for new link, both SD cards mounting. usb mass storage in recovery will have to wait for now. backups should be correct size. thanks guys. For now, "flash from internal Sd" actually mounts your external SD, and selecting "flash zip from SD" mounts the internal SD. Not a big deal but...confusing for some :p any other bugs please report :)
    One observation is that it now makes backups to the internal SD card :p.
    I'm having a hard time. Its will start to load up then I get an android with a red exclamation mark..

    Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
    Try this:
    Code:
    adb devices
    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot erase recovery
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    fastboot reboot
    Then try to boot into recovery.
