EDIT FROM THE ARCHANGEL: DO NOT USE THIS RECOVERY IT WILL BRICK YOUR TAB,btw i pulled the links

CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4 for A70x

Attention!
At the moment CWM recovery is not workable! Its use can lead to non-functionality of your tablet! For details see here.

Original article is published on this site and created by ZeroNull and steaven_zw (4pda.ru).

How to:
1. Boot your device.
2. On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on. Connect the tablet to your PC. Be sure to install the latest driver for the tablet.
3. Download the archive and extract it to any convenient location on your computer.
4. Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here. Then reboot a tablet.
5. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file:
for windows with the rights of administrator:

Code:

flash-cwm.bat

Recovery is installed.

Reboot again with Volume- and see whether you can still access recovery (or use the following command):

Code:

adb reboot recovery

PS: If you can not use this instruction, look here.

Works great thanks for your awesome work again.:good:

Quick questions for you ZeroNull:

Do we have to unlock bootloader first (I suppose we do) ?

Do we have to be rooted first (I suppose we don't) ?

If we don't have to be rooted first, can we root after just by flashing the supersu.zip by Chainfire from recovery (I would suppose we can) ?

Thanks a lot, again.

EDIT: I just checked and saw that the recovery in this package is the same size as the "rooting.img" in the generic root package from you. I suppose that means it is a temp recovery that you use to root the tab ? Which means we can gain root from recovery so flashing supersu from this recovery should work... just trying to understand what's going on, for my own knowledge

EDIT 2: I just opened the .bat file and saw there was some disabling at the end for recovery.sh
I also opened an Acer rom and saw inside the zip that there was some stuff about recovery.sh
From what I can understand, it looks like you disable something that Acer wants to do. What is it exactly ?
If I reflash an Acer stock rom from CWM recovery, will the recovery be reflashed with stock one, or does your script takes care of that ?
Again, just trying to understand.

Since you are apparently still running the stock .017 US ROM, could you make (and post or PM me) a backup copy that could be used to re-flash to stock?

Thanks,

I am currently flashed and running the .025_EMA_CUS1 ROM with teh new CWM recovery... all went very well!

You'll have to unlock the boot-loader to flash a recovery, but you don't need to be rooted for this to happen.You root the operating system to gain access behind the scenes....A recovery such as CWM (this) is the first step for you to flash non signed ROMs (modified) without the system denying you. Then you can flash an already rooted (or tweaked) ROM once they are available, but as of right now there aren't any.

So unlock boot-loader, flash this, then root your ROM...

Sorry, but I'm currently running this: SDs_Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMEA_FR.zip

It is a french leak, but you can get it from the rom thread so I'm not going to be able to help you much on this.

By the way, did you root before pushing this recovery or did you just unlock the bootloader ?

Ok cool.

Last question then: can I root by just flashing supersu.zip from CWM ?

No, you'll have to use one of the scripts in the rooting threads unless someone creates a flashable root.
The script I used automatically installed su and busy box.

Mine was both rooted and s-off... I am hoping the ROM development for the ACER takes off now that it is rooted and a recovery is working. Bought this over waiting for the Infinity to drop later this month (July)... hope it wasn't a mistake I will regret!

Thanks for the response.

Cheers!

I have one question, is the stock Recovery out there somewhere? I am just curious, in case I had to flash the original one back.

ZeroNull, you're the ****. Awesome work, again. Tanks!

You mean "stock rom", right?
If someone would make a nandroidbackup of a stock-Version, then You could recover from that Backup and would be on Stock.
You just need someone to be so kind, but i guess that ont take too long.

After backup using the cwm and reboot then reboot again to recovery it will boot the original acer recovery!
Is this temporary cwm recovery?
After connecting the charger when the tablet off it will restore the original recovery

You are right, my bad.

In the original of Acer firmware there is a function restore original (stock) recovery. In my instruction at one stage of the script executes the CWM recovery. This is necessary, that would disable the restoration of the original (stock) recovery. If for some reason the launch has not occurred or the user manually exited from the CWM recovery, then system restore will not be disabled. And after rebooting the system will automatically be restored to the original recovery.

When it executes
Disable script /etc/install-recovery.sh
error: device not found
error: device not found

1. Do you have your device connected to your PC?
2. Have you enabled USB debugging from the settings?
3. Have you installed the Acer drivers on your computer?

Version bootloader

moom999 said:

I think the problem in version bootloader, which is installed on your tablet.
This problem can be solved in two ways:
Option 1. Change to another the firmware version, in which works command bootloader - "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Option 2. After running the installation script CWM recovery, when comes to message:

Booting recovery.img

turn off the tablet. And then perform the following steps:
1. Press and hold down the 'Volume -'. Power on the tablet. After starting the CWM recovery - releasing button 'Volume -'.
2. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Launch from this directory the Windows command prompt. And enter the following commands:

Code:

adb shell "mount -a && cd /system/etc && mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.old"
adb reboot

Now CWM recovery will not be overwritten with the original recovery.

PS: Google Translate forever.
