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:

Root Instructions here:

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

Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here:

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.

Well couldn't test much, but everything seems honky dory :D

One question, should we expect the recovery to be touch enabled later on? .. yeah I know we have buttons, but the touch enabled recoveries are simply cooler :D anyways, thanks a bunch guys.

The backup is far larger than the ones of the first recovery provided.

could be backing up more data. I think the old Thor recovery had some partitions missing. I will look into it though. pretty sure the old one didn't backup /flexrom which I think the new one does..but I'm not using a flexrom ATM.

That must be why. The previous recovery made backup sizes of approx. 1.1Gb; This makes backups of well over 2Gb (Bar didn't even reach half way as yet when it hit the 2Gb mark :eek:).

yes i forgot to add. if you are on flexreaper it will work..as you should already have root and unlocked bootloader to get there :-D thanks for verifying though!

i don't want anyone to think they need to reflash the leak and root and unlock again to do this. as long as your on the ics bootloaders and unlocked then your good...no matter what rom you have loaded.

I was going to say my backup was the right size on Flexrom A100, but it would make sense because I use the Micro SD card swap mod. So my /data/media is empty while in CWM.

    Recovery IMG... easy as 1-2-3... jejeje

    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

    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.

    Try this:
    Code: 
    adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
    Then try to boot into recovery.
