Ok so you accidentally tried to Odin or CWM the wrong file to your phone. Well the good news is that if you can get into CWM with access to the sdcard(s) or access ADB we can fix it. If the phone won't power on at all, you can't access cwm with sdcard(s), ADB or Odin you are unfortunately out of luck. You will need to get it repaired by Sprint or send it off for a jtag repair.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
If you don't own the E4GT do not use this guide because if your partitions are not the same as ours you will brick your phone.
If by chance you can get into Odin mode and your computer can see the phone go buy a lottery ticket J/K. All you have to do is download a full tar and Odin it back on. I won't go into details for that as it is well documented. Or you can still use this zip if you prefer.
I have automated the process of the restore. What this zip will do is flash the Agat 0.5.4 source kernel so you have cwm. It will flash the FH13 boot.bin, hidden.img, param.lfs and Sbl.bin. It will wipe Cache and Dalvik also.
This will not flash the modem, wipe data or replace system. So after you use this zip if your modem is also hosed flash a modem zip from CWM. Once you have recovered the phone you can flash whatever you want back on the phone.
Download CWM Odin Restore To FH13: http://d-h.st/3yZ
Copy the zip file to your phone and flash in custom recovery.
If you don't have access to the sdcard(s) but do have access to ADB proceed to the second post.
If you need some direct assistance you can PM me and I will work with you when possible.
You only have ADB access
For this method you will need CWM, ADB, Root and the image files to restore.
If you don't have ADB installed I have attached it to this post. I have also provided a link to the FH13 image files.
If you don't have ADB, extract the ADB directory to the root of C:. So you should see C:\ADB
You need to know where your ADB directory is located. If you used step 1 ADB it is C:\ADB. If you installed it on your own you should know where to find it.
Extract the images.zip into the ADB directory. You should now have the Images folder in the ADB folder.
Boot into CWM and attach your phone to the computer.
Open a command prompt and change directory to the ADB directory cd C:\ADB (or wherever your directory is).
Type adb push Images /tmp and hit enter.
You should see something like 6 files pushed. 0 files skipped.8465 KB/s (19271020 bytes in 2.223s).
Type adb shell and hit enter.
This part is critical. Make sure it is typed exactly or you can/will destroy your phone.
Copy and paste or type the following commands. If you copy and paste make sure you don't copy any leading or trailing spaces. Hit enter after each command.
You can skip any of the following commands if you know you don't need them. For example, if you know you only installed the Sbl.bin then you only need to enter that command. I have provided them all to cover all of the needs. If you are not sure just do them all.
dd if=/tmp/boot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p0
dd if=/tmp/hidden.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=/tmp/param.lfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
dd if=/tmp/Sbl.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/tmp/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
dd if=/tmp/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
You should see something like 2560+0 records in, 2560+0 records out, 1310720 bytes (1.3MB) copied, 0.265521 seconds, 4.7MB/s after each command.
Reboot your phone and it should boot up.
If it still doesn't boot something didn't take and we will need to work one on one.

The bootloader restore has been proven to work on one phone so far. Thanks to pjkingphd for testing and confirming that it works.
great share!thanks for the tutorial.

I have now automated the restore process in a zip file. You must be able to copy the zip file to the phone for it to work. I have flashed it about a dozen times but I would like to get a few brave testers to try it on your phone for me. Make sure you do a backup first! I have moved the manual commands to post two and revamped the instructions.

Sooo... uhm ,,, say I know a certain someone who botched their custom boot logo and has been lazy..... and has the draw failure start up...
This would restore that to stock without any other ramifications except for a kernel swap, correct??

Yeah this will fix you up. Once you get recovered you can flash whatever you want back on. Since you are an advanced user if you have a particular setup that you want to restore, just pull those files from the tar and place them in the Images folder of the zip.
You never can be too sure.. Lol I just always expect the one time I make an assumption will be regretted.
Good idea btw... And thanks.
And Ive actually been meaning to flash a param.lfs..... I have like 4 OCs it just they are all the way on my backup backup card ...(see my level of sloth ?!?!?!)

So I am moving onto a new phone so I will not be supporting this thread anymore. Please help each other the best you can. Also if anyone wants to take over and support this thread feel free. Last but not least if anyone wants to use any of the items I put into this also feel free. Remember that android is made possible with contrbutions from viewers like you!
Check out my new guide its much easier and automated now!!
Sorry but I no longer have the files that were in the zip as my laptop that they were on no longer has a charger so I really don't have a way to pull them off until I come up with extra funds to buy a charger for that dinosaur!
I have updated the commands so everything will be working correctly.
Please note this a guide to unrooting your device and returning it to stock, if you have nothing stock and didn't back anything up i.e. modded rom, changed recovery, eng. bootloader.
If you didn't follow the ultimate guide then you will not need to follow steps 1-7. Just follow from 8 on.
Also keep in mind this was created assuming you followed the ultimate guide to permaroot turning radio s=off and changing cid thus unlocking phone.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone blah blah blah.
Also if I am incorrect in any of these steps someone please let me know.
Also this is just a guide that I wrote using all the others. Please thank and donate to grankin01 for providing the original guide and also thank/donate to tiger013 for providing a stock nandroid. Also thank Football for providing new rom.
With that said here we go:
Download the PD15IMG file and rename it to PD15IMG.zip
1. Copy PD15IMG.zip and "part7backup-whatevernuberitscalled.bin" to the root of your sdcard
2. Connect your phone to your computer and navigate to your sdk folder then type adb push gfree /data/local
3. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" press enter to get root privileges.
4. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter
5. Type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
6. Now type "./gfree -f" press enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup. delete this)
7. Now run the "dd if=/sdcard/part7backup-whatevernumberitscalled.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:
xxxx bytes in
xxxxbytes out
xxxxxxxxxx copied in xxxxxxxxxxx
8. Run "sync" and then reboot.
9. Let phone load then boot into bootloader again by holding volume down and pressing power
10. Let it load image and select yes to update.
11. Let it do its work it will reboot once this is normal.
And that should be it. Enjoy stock rom.
Great job! I un-rooted worked fine! Then I re-rooted worked fine also!

I assume this will not work if you have made a backup with clockwork? Also your instructions say apply nandroid backup, but there is no option in recovery for appy nandroid backup. There are options to update from update.zip and another one from a zip file. The folder inside you unroot package is not a zip file?

AFAIK this should fix it.
Extract boot.rar
Copy boot.bin to your sdcard
Unmount the SDcard if you copied from your computer.
Open a terminal either with ADB shell or im assuming a term emulator would work.
SU for root privs. then use this command:
Code:
dd if /dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096
This will backup your current one.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.bin of=/dev/block/bml1 bs=4096
This will rewrite with the new one.
Reboot.

If you can pull the stock recovery and post it, that would be great...
Otherwise, could one of you try booting into the stock recovery and see what it does... I tried to load the Fascinate Clockwork using ROM Manager and I'm not sure if it actually did anything or not... I don't think Clockwork would check with Verizon for updates.... All I have experience with is Amon Ra on my Eris..... Would be great if it just failed to change it.....

Nevermind, I've discovered the problem. The code to backup your current boot image is "dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096". There was an equal sign missing in the post above.
So I've completed the steps listed above and was under the impression this would restore my phone to stock. However, I still don't have the Verizon bloatware I deleted. Did I not understand what this process was meant to accomplish?

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://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510706
Root Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646
Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here:
http://forum.xda-developers.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.

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 ).

Just in case anyone is wondering, flashed fine running flex-100-reaper and crossix SD swap mod.

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.

They appear to be combined into one radio image but it needs to be one for CD a one for lte

Thanks - always nice to have insurance - I think I know the answer but just to be sure - is the TWRP nandroid rooted or will I loose root when I run this?

WHat would I do - simply reflash the SU zip or would I have to re-push that to the phone ? (I know I sound like a noob here - but still learning the differnces between this phone and my old Epic4g - I recall seeing how sometimes everything on the SD card get's over written - but I wasn't sure if that happened in this case?)

We managed to fix my LTE radio so far, but we're still having trouble finding the right spot to pull the CDMA radio from.

That's good
Hopefully when u figure out how to fix the radio and get mms working on aosp then the roms should be up and we will have a recovery radio in case something goes bad

Theoretically we basically have a factory image at this point we just need that cdma radio

Restore stock nandroid
Flash stock radios
Flash stock recovery
Then relock boot loader..

please help me im lost on what to do now.

Reread the first post. It is not a flashable ROM, it's a backup of the stock ROM. So you'll need to unzip it then place it on your internal storage under CWM/backup (or somewhere similar, not using CWM myself so unsure of the exact folder names) then boot into recovery and select Restore and then restore the backup you downloaded.

[HOW TO INSTALL TWRP 2.2.2 via ADB] WINDOWS
This Works when/if Goomanager does not.
1. Download TWRP 2.2.2 for Hercules
2. Place the file openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2-hercules.img. on your /sdcard/
3. rename it as twrp2.2.2 for ease of use.
4. Open the terminal and type ~ adb shell then hit enter **the next line you see should be something similar to sh-3.2$
5. Cut and Paste dd if=/sdcard/twrp2.2.2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
hit enter...DONT TYPE THE WRONG NUMBERS HERE, YOU MAY BRICK.
You are now installing the Recovery TWRP 2.2.2, wait until
finished.
Press Cntrl+C then type the command adb reboot, or adb reboot recovery to double-check
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your actions, your phone, or much of anything, frankly.
I also used them commands in the terminal emulator app and it worked
yeah it does the same job

For sure, I just like to use my full-size keyboard.. Plus the Cut and Paste on the PC is faster and why I chose this method.. It was so easy I thought I'd share this..
Hey not trying to bash or anything and I think its cool you wrote up the tutorial although when looking for TWRP for our phones I saw the choice of using terminal or the app so I know the info is out there. I am just confused as to why you created a new thread when I feel your post would be much more helpful within the thread for TWRP 2.2 or in General.
Since this is not a change or an upgrade to the app it may or may not get that many hits and fall off the first page. But yes the information is rather important for those who need an alternative to getting TWRP on their device. I am not sure if you did but I hope you also posted in that thread your tutorial
Again not trying to disrespect you but trying to suggest in my way...:good:
Thanks I might.

Thanks! finally back to 2.2.2.0 what a relief. FYI, your DL link goes to team win's hercules page which only has 2.3.0 as far as I can tell. I got the .img file from someone's dropbox in the 2.3.0 thread. Also, the next comment in the thread linked a flashable zip with 2.2.2.0 which would allow people to skip the somewhat nerveracking command lines. Only question is, how do you flash it at that point? Certainly not from within twrp, right?
Don't mean to be a downer or anything but you do realize that PorchSong posted these exact same directions and they are a sticky in this forum?

Yes, you can flash any recovery within any recovery with no issues. Just reboot recovery and your good.

well I think I specialized and babied the subject a bit more plus he sounds mean and his monkey is mean I can tell cause he looks like he would bite your face off and then tell how to adb push your corpse of the dock... jk porchsong I never saw your guide before now. Nice guide indeed.
I have installed this and also the flashable version. When I do a wipe install a ROM the wipe cache the ROM (I have tried 5 diff ones) never work. If
I do the darkside super wipe install rom then dark side cache wipe it works. I was under the impression that I didn't need to use those zip files
From dark side.

You don't need the wipes on TWRP. Been on TWRP for several versions, and never had an issue wiping and wiping always fixed my issue.
