Download the above Automated Install .zip file for your operating system
Extract the contents of the Zip to a location on your PC's hard drive
Change to the extracted directory's contents.
Run the installer; On windows you may just double click the install-windows.bat file, on linux you need to run the install-linux.sh script
example linux installation commands:
Code:
cd a100_twrp_installer_linux
Code:
bash ./install-linux.sh
Read the on screen information of the progress. If you get any errors you will need to resolve the issue or try one of the following alternative install methods.
If you need more detailed installation instructions please read the INSTALL file included inside the .zip
Manual installation:
Download the .img file for the recovery
Connect your A100 device to USB on your PC
While your A100 is booted in either Android or Recovery just enter the following into your PCs command prompt/shell:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now flash the image - at the command prompt/shell enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-a100.img
Reboot the device - again from the command prompt/shell:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Enter Recovery mode - While tablet shuts off, hold the Vol - (down) button until you see the screen saying "loading recovery kernel"
Checkout the new TWRP build and enjoy!

Boot to recovery
Choose the file a100_twrp_upgrade_2.2.2.1.zip in the install menu
Swipe to install
Wait and DO NOT Disconnect your A100!
When finished, go back to Main menu - choose Reboot - and Reboot Recovery
Enjoy the Official 2.2.2.1 TWRP Release!

Thanks francis88, i just tested them on my end again (btw the hosting server is remote from me) it worked for me, so maybe you should check if you have an adblocker or some kind of ipfilter going on? possibly the host was having issues too, but the links works for me at the moment. tested both github sources and the download link to the img. Thanks again
*Edit: Please keep in mind I am using androidfilehost's beta site and they are doing quiet a bit of changes to the site lately trying migrate users from the original site over to the new, and once they get everything settled in and the 'beta' goes away everything should straighten back up. I really like the services at 'androidfilehost' and the owner is really great at working with devs, so please be patient as they continue to upgrade their servers to bring us superb file hosting services. If a link appears to be broken, please wait a few minutes and try again, if the link is down for a long period of time please contact me in PM so that the thread stays for discussion about the TWRP Recovery. Sorry and thanks everyone

So let me know how you like it. Also if you happen to be a linux user, I have wrote an automated installer script for linux, Xbow59 is currently writing a windows batch script for installation, I currently have the Linux installation working though if you'd like to test/try it out just let me know. Windows users can look forward to an automated solution within a day or so
help :/........ i am on stock rooted ics. i just unlocked the bootloader sucsessfully and went to flash this. flashed the recovery. and when i try to boot into recovery i get the dead android guy with an ! in a triangle above him......... should i flash recovery again or try to boot into recovery again? i just dont want to mess anything up.
edit: im just scared its trying to update a stock package. i had an update a couple days ago and tryed to update but it failed since i deleted a bunch of bloat, no problem. but i dont know where it downloaded and if its still there trying to install.

By unlocking the bootloader successfully, what exactly did you do? If you flashed the btl100 file to the device that's not successfully unlocking, in fact don't touch that 100 file again. Hopefully you followed the guide and used the A200 bootloader unlock method. If you followed that guide though you wouldn't be getting the dead android looking guy. Be careful with this stuff, can easily brick!

i used that method (only one i know) and i got the distotrted green acer logos and it says its unlocked. after i followed the steps to install twrp and it went smoothly. until i tryed booting into recovery. should i try to boot into recovery again? ive rebooted a few times so im still safe if i have to power off. OR should i try to reinstall twrp and follow the guide again. because i am CERTAIN i am unlocked. before i had to send in for repairs i had it unlocked but of course they relocked it.
(btw im not getting angry or smart assy with you haha,if it seems that way i dont mean it to come out that way)

Delete or rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then install twrp again.
its overwriting your custom recovery every boot.

I had forgot all about this, even though it is in my unreleased linux auto installer. If by chance you are using linux, I have an installer that will do this all for you the right way, I just haven't posted it yet because I don't have the windows installer fixed
you can either download the linux installer git repo and just extract it to a directory named twrp_install or similar; just run sudo bash ./install-linux.sh after you are in the install directory. https://github.com/godmachine81/Acer-A100-TWRP-Installer/zipball/linux <<current linux installer for a100 twrp
Or you can clone the repo
Code:
git clone https://github.com/godmachine81/Acer-A100-TWRP-Installer.git
then checkout the linux branch:
Code:
git checkout linux
then install:
Code:
sudo bash ./install-linux.sh
The git method requires you have git installed, you will probably just want to install from the zipball method if you don't already have git

will report if it works in a few seconds
edit: noobness showed there. haha thats a script to reinstall recovery at boot so once i delete it it wont reflash stock recovery right?
edit edit: nope, im not on linux (yet) my computer is a mess of three harddrives and messed up registrys and unofficial windows 7 haha. once i buy a copy of windows 7 its a full wipe and partitioning for a windows/linux dualboot

Also I noticed you mentioning that you are using a stock rom, you might want to talk to pio_masaki about this; but to my understanding the stock roms from Acer are not suppose to be flashed from custom recovery. I have read different things on this, however I haven't ever attempted to do such, from what I can tell doing this can or will brick your tablet by overwriting your bootloader and failing to install android, giving you no way to get to recovery nor android.. Might be something you want to discuss with him sometime.

In your kernel thread he mentioned staying on stock for stability, so I don't think he'll be flashing off stock anyways. Not yet anyways....
Restoring stock works as it leaves the boot loader alone.

Thanks, just trying to look out for these newcomers - however I'm still a bit confused at which causes the brick. The way I first interpreted it, it was flashing any Acer packaged update.zip from a custom recovery that would cause it. Then someone said that only the HC zips would. So to play it safe, I believe I'd double double check as many times as possible before I flashed any .zip from Acer from either twrp or cwm if it was me. Wish there was some clarity though on which Acer zips are SAFE and which ones are BRICKs -n- a Zip lol

The ics Acer zips are known brickers but it happens for a reason I'm not very clear on. HC will also brick it.
Basically there's a chance it will run the zip, attempt to flash everything, however for some reason it will fail to flash system or boot correctly, but does replace the bootloader. What I'm not clear on is why it fails on system or boot but succeeds on bootloader, or why recovery doesn't error flashing it.
Once this situation occurs you get locked out of both recovery and system by the bootloader, no adb or fastboot access to correct it.
Using the information I've gathered on this I've been working on a method to restore to stock if needed, but its going slow as I have to triple check everything before I even test it. Its a long and annoying process but should result in a 100% factory stock system.

Great Francis88, mind I ask which method of installation you chose?
Hello
I own Ouya for the month but most of time I use it as media-box for TV (watching movies, etc)
I have already rooted it and installed play market but i hate the stock UI and obsolate android
I saw a video in youtube with CM11 and ouya (android 4.4) and started to google the solution
I already know that it is based on Eternity Project kernel.
I found the way to install bootloader http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/1114365-eternityproject-tpl-bootloader-for-ouya/ and it is clear
The next step is to install kernel http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/1114362-eternityproject-kernel-3437-for-ouya-cpu-2ghz-gpu-650mhz/ but it is unclear for me about fastboot command
The next step as I understand is to install CM11 from the CWM
Is it possible to install KitKat without EP kernel?
So If someone have detailed steps or howto on installing CM11 on ouya please give it to this thread
Thanks in advance
I think this is what you're looking for. I'm not sure the EP boot loader is compatible but I'm sure its mentioned in the thread somewhere. Or in the bootmenu thread anyway.

This is the order you need to go:
Upgrade to newest clockwork mod from milaq in your recovery.
Then install the failsafe bootloader.
Then install cm11 from the new recovery, along with gapps he posted in the same thread Make sure to wipe all the stock stuff.
Thats it.

Its hard to lay it out, you need to go to the threads where the info is already layed out.
Do you already have a custom recovery installed like clockwork? Great, then go to the failsafe thread to get a newer version of the recovery, and the failsafe installer. If you do not, you need to go to the custom recovery threads as there are multiple, and get any type of custom recovery installed. Then from there, install the newer custom recovery from the failsafe thread, then the failsafe itself from within the new custom recovery, then from there you can install cm11 using the cm11 thread following the instructions.

Just realized cwm is removed,can't install using oneclickrecovery tool either fails says cannot find img etcetc,yet its all there no problems adb is fine and works.Fastboot driver i can't get running although listed yellow exclamation,any ideas?
Fixed it managed to get fastboot going downloaded the required missing dll files and win_usb.inf set up and used ouyatoolbox 1.0.0.0 to rewrite recovery,found i can no longer add the newer 6.0.4.8 recovery zip in update from zip in 6.0.3.2 recovery though? Used to be able to do that. Any way tmore to the point is can someone tell me the step by step process to add cm11 firmware so i don't have to read a load of [email protected] that doesn't end up giving less than nothing in terms of having a clue how,someone in the thread writes about erasing stuff and what oreder but that doesn't tell you how to install or what erase process is or anything detailed and the net has exactly the same misguided tutorials on how to do it.Tellinng a newbie to erase stuff means they will erase all the wrong stuff in all fairness it's good to have a slightly better idea by reading that but it doesn't go in depth or step by step.
All i have found is sites pointing back to the xda pages that do not explain it,it's like your expected to know everything before you have been taught and fill in the gaps off the top of your head.

Exactly what he said, I just did these same steps on a 3rd new ouya yesterday and it went off without a hitch. The cm11 thread is long but honestly all the information you need is in the first few posts. If you were able to connect the ouya to USB and run oneclickroot then you're ready to get started.
Trying to install Viper ROM 1.7.1 on my HTC M8 through CWM but the screen seems to fade away & gets completely overlaped & not readable... If still proceed further and complete the install it gets stuck in bootloops ... tried thrice every time its the same. My phone is Unlocked & Rooted but am not able to get the S-Off work. OS build inumber is 1.60.708.2.
Attached are the pics taken while in recovery... TWRP not able to download gets stuck at 99.99%, if anyone can please provide img file on drive if incase the problem lies with CWM.
Looking ahead for assistance ?
Problem is with cwm as viper has aroma installer. You need twrp. I just tried to download from official site and it worked fine for me.

Though so it could be recovery problem, but two points in mind:
1. The link from where I got the CWM recovery, showed a video tutorial wherein he got installed Viper One 1.6.0 through CWM ... I'm having S-On but I don't think that could be an issue for installing ROM or particular with the issue that I'm facing. So most probably it has to do with Recovery.
2. Trying to download TWRP 2.7.1.0 or even with TWRP 2.7.0.2 I'm facing with the similar issue, the download comes and halts at 99.99% can't get through ahead of this. So please if someone can just post ME a latest TWRP img on drive for download it would be really nice & helpful.

I spent hole day with same issue yesterday. But was able to download twrp ok. I suspect cwm is not working with m8. Adding to this prob i also had a dodgy sd card in my phone.
Suggest you look for another download source or download one of the easy root tools and pull twrp zip from that.
Once you get twrp flashed to your phone you will be able to flash rom. I also flashed boot.img

As i quoted the easy root tools. Just download the zip and pull from there.
Hello everyone.
I have issue with my lg l70.
I recently tried to install custom rom because i got angry with bloatware (it is rooted and i deleted some of for me useless sys apps) and restriction to 4.4.2 os. I wanted to put 5.0+ or even 6.0 on him custom rom.
The problem is that this device is not supported on cwm and i tried to flash it with some img file so i can make cwm work for my device and hopefully update phone with custom one. I ended up with soft brick. I can use phone normally but since then i cannot do factory reset because it pops up with purple error screen.
If you can help me solve some stuff i would be very pleased.
So here are the things i would like to do:
I want to flash it back with all standard apps and roms and whatever else i want to have clean phone like it was when i bought it without purple screen on hard reset.
Second thing that i want is to put custom rom on it.
Hello,
Since you have installed the wrong recovery IMG you can either search for a stock recovery for your device and flash it (on the phone or by PC), find a custom recovery specific to the device or look up tutorials on porting a custom recovery for the device, Good luck!

Thanks ive fixed it.
Ive used Lg Flash tool 2014 and D320n10c_00.kdz (searched it on goole and dl it.)
Now since ive unbricked it i will try to put a custom rom. I am not sure how but i hope i will not brick it again
No problem, glad you were able to get your device back! Make sure to make a backup through recovery to be able to revert if anything goes wrong. Good luck installing custom Roms

Hi.
I know there is at least one post with instructions for installing a custom recovery on an rk3188 MTCC head unit, but I just can't find it! I think the search function may be broken as I've searched this forum for the following key words ' recovery, custom, cwm, twrp, clockworkmod' in many combinations and every search comes back with 0 results! So, if anyone can post a link to such a thread/post I'd be very grateful.
I'm intending to flash the recovery and then a malyksis (spelling?) ROM.
Thanks in advance.
The post that talks about TWRP recovery is not on this forum, but on a thread in the FreakTab Forums. I can't post the link because I am not supposed to link to other forums. The TWRP version is 2.7.0.0, which doesn't allow you to flash .IMG files, which are what these custom ROMs are. These ROMs are meant to be flashed through STOCK recovery. So, I would recommend that you flash the custom ROM before you flash TWRP or don't flash one at all.
There is also a TWRP image located here, just select the TWRP folder, but I have not tested this.

Here is the wiki page for these units. It has almost everything you need to know.

Ah, that explains it! Thanks. I was looking for a way to back up my stock ROM before flashing a custom one, that's what led me to TWRP. Is there a way to backup from the stock recovery as I don't see that option? Thanks.
I know that TWRP has an option to backup specific parts such as recovery, boot image, system, or data. I'm not sure if Titanium or a NANDroid backup will do the same. Worth giving it a shot, though.
