Unhappy **SOLVED**Help! secure boot: image SOS checksum fail! the sequel..

Hi guys i know Brian117 originally posted this and sc2k helped him fix hes tablet i apologize for not continuing the thread
but its been almost 8 hours since i bricked my tablet. i can't take it anymore i tried alot of things i search Google for answers until i gave up.

Im not a pro but im not new to flashing roms so i originally installed CWM from the "it's Magic" post from sc2k i did it successfully then installed
Dexter's primee rom successfully aswell no problem. Once i discover Virtous picasso rom, Honey Villain rom i decided to test them out aswell
see witch one fit my liking so i did successfully. After seeing Virtous galaxy i decided to check it out i did i got an error at boot so after posting
my error some suggested i update my CWM so i was able to boot into galaxy rom loved it then i downloaded "update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.3.4"
from the instruction i gathered im suppose to just flash it through CWM so i did and it said that i succesfully flashed it now reboot into CWM to see
the changes so at this point i thought heck yeah!! then to my surprise i reboot it the tablet and was greeted to " secure boot: image SOS checksum fail!" so i then tried a normal reboot the ACER logo just stood there hanging looking back at me laughing.

Before i originally installed CWM i followed all instruction so i have all my back ups and UID saved on my PC. i Already pm sc2k about see if he can help me
but i thought i post the whole processed of what i did to avoid others bricking their tablet aswell and hopefully in the mean time if any of you guys have any suggestions, tips i gladly welcome them since i cant return it to staples anymore i have to deal with Acer if i cant get it to work. Also I fully understand this is a risk i took and not blaming no one for my error all im asking is for help

I am pretty sure that thor explains in his thread that you should flash his "update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.*" files only if you allready have his version of recovery installed.

So you should have installed the full "recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.3.4.rar" as described in 1st post of his thread and not just try to flash the update-recovery file.

Maybe thor or sc2k can help you now..

DONATE TO ME
I think the problem was that your original cwm was an older version that did not run itsmagic automatically on startup and the update package doesn't run it either. I'm so glad to see someone who has backups!

Don't know if this will help.. The hang at the logo is usually an indication of needing to do a data wipe after installing a custom rom. Was the tablet booting normally before flashing the cwm update?
Anyway, this thread from sc2k demonstrates a method to wipe data. You can see if that will help get you past the logo screen. If it does, great.. run itsmagic, then you should be able to get back into recovery.

If it doesn't help, you'll need to ask sc2k how to unbrick via nvflash (that's what mcblk0_start file is for).

Edit: aw man..I just realized I forgot the link.... ah well
