Are you selecting flash zip from sd card or apply update.zip? You need to flash from sd card and it needs to be in the root oid card

Hey guys I have been trying to install a rom using clockworkmod recovery but when I install from sd card it runs the process them says installation aborted every time.
Locked bootloader
Clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.7

Maybe the Rom you install is not for Locked bootloader
It's my understanding that the roms that you use with a locked bootloader aren't flashable, but are to be used as a nandroid backup. In other words, the roms that you must flash are just for those with unlocked bootloaders.
I'm trying to install cola rom which is meant for locked bootloader

You seem to be trying to flash the zip of Cola, instead of unpacking it, and moving to /mnt/sdcard/ClockwordMod/backup/
What I am trying to do is to restore rather than flash but I do not have rom manager premium
I'm using rom toolbox
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
You don't need to use rom manager or rom toolbox. After you unpacked the zip file, place it in /clockworkmod/backup and if it doesn't exist, make it! After having the folder in the backup folder, get into your clockworkmod recovery and use the backup and restore menu there to restore.

Was just about to post the same thing.
Anyway, if you are having trouble booting into recovery, open a terminal, and type in adb shell reboot recovery and your device will reboot into the recovery console.
Thanks for the advice guys ill see what happens

Never mind already got it and its 100% working =]
I've actually never had the reboot recovery command work, even from the terminal on the phone.
Anyway, I'm here to correct that last command. You will either use
adb shell
reboot recovery
or
adb reboot recovery
Although an access denied error would mean that you need superuser privileges to correctly run the command. I don't remember if it's needed to reboot to recovery, it's just instinct for me to hit su when I use terminal or adb.
Problem is my computer crashed so I can't unpack cola6, meaning I can't place the folder in clockworkmod/backup

If you have it on your phone you can unpack it using ROM Toolbox.

Hello. I have successfully rooted my acer a 500, i have used root checker to confirm this and also have app for superuser. I have successfully installed cwm via acer recovery app. I was able to backup the current rom, but am having issues flashing a new rom. Im dlashing from extenal sd card. But when i run cwm i notice that when i backup or attempt to flash cwm says "no sd-ext found" any thoughts?

Try to format the card in a phone
Shaun thanks for the reply. I did that and then did it on pc. Seems to be okay. Its fat32

Idk, maybe i was just tired. I was able to successfully flash flexreaper ics. I guess my only concern now is my backed up roms dont show up in rom manager, running v 5.0.0.6. Any idea why? (cwm is version 5.5.0.4, if it matters)

Rom Manager is a phone app. I'd advise not using it for the 500/501. Unless they changed something in the past month, you could really wonk up your tab.
Check your Ext SD card. You should have a folder called Clockwork, which contains your recovery backups. (unless you already formatted your SD card)
When you make a recovery (either CWM or RA), you should boot to the recovery, and do your recovery backup/nand backup from there. NOT through Rom Manager.
This might sound stupid to some but when I am using Fireflash.. it comes up in red letters that Im not on 7.2.3 (expected that) so I therefore tick the flash box. I then add the boot partition in and the recovery partition but do I need to add the zip file at the bottom? I have downloaded the correct zip file just not sure if it's needed yet.
thanks

You can, but you will lose data. Flash it if you cant boot.

ah that's confusing.. at least for me it is. assumed I was going to lose all my data anyway and start fresh.

No, installing the 2nd bootloader and twrp themselves does not erase anything, you can still use the stock rom.
where can i get a zip file to let me escape this recovery loop?
If you keep the bootable CWM SD in the slot it will always boot to it. Did you remove it and try booting?
If it still boots to CWM, go to my NC Tips thread and follow section A15 to get back to stock. Don't forget to flash the format zip also. That should get you out of the loop.

Thank you. Tip 15 worked. What link do you suggest in order to reroot and to choose a stable rom?
