OK, here is ClockworkMod Recovery for our beloved A500

NOTE:
If you encounter a problem with the filesystem on /data like it has become corrupt, place a blank file called "eraseData" (without the quotes) in the clockworkmod folder on your external sdcard or usb storage. This will revert back to actually formatting /data.
WARNING: by doing this you will lose everything that you have in /data/media.

Installation:
  1. use adb (PC):
    1. adb push recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.img /sdcard
    2. adb push itsmagic /data/local
  2. from terminal (TABLET):
    1. su
    2. chmod 755 /data/local/itsmagic
    3. mount -o rw,remount /system
    4. rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
    5. mount -o ro,remount /system
    6. dd if=/sdcard/recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
    7. ./data/local/itsmagic

"recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.rar" - is for flashing normally with the normal method...
"update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.zip" - flashed from recovery and press reboot/power off(v1.1 don't use "Advanced" -> "Reboot Recovery" only buttons in the main menu) after its flashed(don't try to flash from any other recovery other than mine, will not work)

Changelog:
1.1:
  • skips /data/media in backup/restore/format of /data
  • integrated "itsmagic"
  • additional option in advanced to run itsmagic manually
  • itsmagic is run on every restart/poweroff or recovery as a precautionary measure
  • ability to use usb storage in recovery for backups and restores...(has a priority system in place if usb stick is present on mount its used as a "sdcard", if not it falls back to microsd card), unmount and mount will also trigger this.
1.2:
  • flexrom backup & restore
  • bct + ebt + pt + gp1 backup(basically the first sectors of the flash that sc2k told you to backup when itsmagic got released...)
  • retrieve uid
  • itsmagic run at startup
  • usb keyboard fix
1.3.2:
  • fixed background disappearing
  • removed itsmagic from reboot/poweroff, not needed itsmagic is run at startup...
  • fixed flexrom not being present in advanced restore menu
1.3.3:
  • fixed back disappearing in Mounts and Storage menu
1.3.4(still in testing...):
  • added sync before md5 generation
  • sync and unmount of /sdcard after succesful backup
  • sync and unmount of /sdcard at reboot/poweroff

Thanks to sc2k for testing this.

Even though this recovery has been tested, I am not liable for any loss of data or any damages done by this recovery.

2. what is the “bl” and “bct” stand for？

3. is “to do……” what we can do or something else ？i cant understand it sorry。

Yea tend to agree sounds awesome. But if we could have a more clear set of instructions. So people don't brick their tablet. :)

to do means things he wants to add to or fix in this release.

What does dd stand for?

o ,I see
"dd" is a command in linux, it can write a img to a partition or block
in this case, we can use that command like this:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

    With the blessings of thor2002ro, I bring you an easy to use app for installing his (or any other) recovery image.

    It has his rev1.2 built-in, along with a Stock USA 1.141.07_COM_GEN1 recovery image. It can also install a recovery.img from the external sdcard.

    It gives an option to backup your current image (for later rollback) and runs itsmagic (built-in) when it's finished installing a recovery image.

    Let me know if anyone finds any problems with it. I have not tried it under PRIMEE 1.4. But I have flashed between thors recovery and stock recovery several times using stock HC 3.0.1.

    DOWNLOAD FROM ANDROID MARKET

    Cheers

    thanks for this program.
    Where i can find backed up old recovery file?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    it's at /data/data/com.interphaze.AcerRecoveryInstaller/files/recovery.old.img

    yeah.. it's a good idea to make a copy of this in case you install a custom ROM

    IF this is an idiotic question, I apologize one hundred times:

    How is this different from downloading Rom Manager from the Market and having that install ClockworkMod Recovery?

    Click to collapse

    that doesn't support a500... a500 need a custom build of cwm(made by me ;) ) the emmc is partitioned differently than the rest of the tablets... among other things...
