I have my acer a500 with ics bootloader with flexreaper ICS 4.0.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181&page=330
It has been working fine for about a week. I turned it on today and it keeps "booting recovery kernel image". When I google my issue it leads me to http://www.xda-developers.com/android/a500-public-recovery-for-a500-owners-running-ics/ which does not help. I have booted it into safe mode via power and Vol +. I have wiped data back to factory image and also reinstalled from zip file. Still nothing. Any help would be appriciated.

Are you running an "unlocked" bootloader? If so, you can fastboot a recovery image.
Also, if you installed a stock rom again, you have to delete the boot-recovery file in system as stated in civato's thread, or else it will wipe out your recovery image on boot.
So need some more info from you. Bootloader version, rom, etc.

Hi all,
Few problems with my TF101. I was running Cyanogen mod rom (not sure witch version, the boot screen was an alien in a vortex). Anyway i was getting some random reboots and the tablet started booting into CWM every time. I have tried several versions of CWM and other recoveries but none will install. In CWM i select the zip install-success, hard reboot and the pad again boots to CWM recovery v5.8.3.4. (also i cant access my external SD with this version of CWM)
While this is a nuisance the latest issue is than no custom will boot. They stick on the boot animation (i have waited up to 4 hours). The only rom that works is Revolver 4.2.1 but wifi does not work.
When i try to install stock roms in CWM it aborts with no error.
When I install the recovery installer APK it reboots to CWM v5.8.3.4 and does nothing
My ideal end state is a functioning CM rom and CWM that boots correctly.
Any ideas folks?
fixed my CWM issue with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29632231&postcount=3
I then installed the recovery apk and wsa able to install CM V6
Hi awesome XDA dudes
I've searched the forums, and even posted in the basic QA section to no avail. I may have just missed it somewhere, but here is the issue.
Tablet will work fine in Lightspeed 4.8 ROM. No issue there. But, when I try to get into the recovery (power and volume down) I get "booting recovery kernel image," forever.
I recently changed from the Clockwork to TWRP recovery and that is when the recovery function would no longer load.
How can I get back to Clockwork or smililar so that I can put a different ROM on my tab?
Thanks in advance!
Tom
Fixed this problem, only to find another.
So, since my tablet would still function normally (aside from recovery) I downloaded the Acer Recovery Installer App. And this did what everything else failed to do. It installed Clockwork Mod and I was actually able to get into the recovery. Whew!
So I went to install Flex shockwave ROM but the install froze at the Aroma 2.56 stage...forever. Tried again unsuccessfully and gave up. I did properly wipe and format beforehand. I then tried installing CM10 Rom, same exact problem.
So, I used Acer Recovery installer and loaded the TWRP recovery. Here is where things get interesting. I booted into recovery, wiped data and caches, and tried to install the aforementioned ROMs. Each time, Aroma installer worked fine and I was presented with all the install options, all the bells and whistles. After completing my selections, I was prompted to reboot.....
And each time the tablet hangs on the Acer spalsh screen.
So now my problem is reversed. I have access to recovery, but no ROM. :crying:
SOLVED !!

Ok, so I had a working ROM but my recovery was fried. So, using Acer Recovery Installer I was able to get a working recovery going.
Then the next problem was that I could not get CM10 to install. When I realized I needed to flash the bootloader (and yes fellow noobs this is different than the recovery) I was unsuccessful.
I tried the automated route using the Blackthund3r app, but the process would just hang at Entering bootloader.
I tried the manual NVFlash route provided by Dibbs and it would get past this point and then hang.
So Dibbs (thanks dude) helped me out via email and suggested I download babsector.rar
After I extracted the rar file, I saw the A501 A.bat file and flashed it. This provided me with hope as it flashed the tablet and the screen atcually read "PASS." But, I wasn't done yet as I still could not install CM10. So, back to APX mode and back into the babsector rar folder. I flashed the Tab with A501 B.bat and followed that immediately with flashing the v8.bat file. In the V8.bet file I chose the Thor 1.7.3 recovery (as suggested by Dibbs and others) and WOOHOOO.....PASS on the tablet again.
Feeling ever more confident, I booted into recovery and flashed the CM10 Rom....SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are having trouble....don't give up. Thanks again for the help to Dibbs and OKAstro!!
While starting to upgrade from CM10 to CM10.2/10.3 on MB526, I flashed TWRP zip file downloaded from Team-win website.
steps:
1) downloaded recovery and copied to SDcard.
2) reboot into custom recovery (CWM)
3) Flash zip of TWRP recovery
Since than, I am getting black screen after clicking on custom recovery from Bootmenu.
Device is working fine,
but with no custom recovery, my hands are tied...
can't restore backup, can't flash rom or do anything..
tried installing zip from stock recovery.. Installation aborted appears
Is there any solution to get recovery working without starting from scratch (flashing SPF and 2ndinit, and so on.... )

I think stock recovery can't help you now, you should start from scratch...
It isn't so hard, just takes time...
From CM10 to CM10.2, you don't need to change recovery, just install it. From CM10.2 to CM11 you should install update-recovery.zip, reboot, install CM11 + GApps.
Hope it helps... :highfive:

Hi,
I currently have CWM 6.0.4.4 installed on my d802 but I can't update it.
I have tried flashing using this tool:
CWM 6.0.4.7
TWRP 2.7.0.0
CWM Touch 6.0.4.4
I also tried flashing with ROM Installer.
In every case, the flash seems to work fine, but I reboot to recovery and it's still CWM 6.0.4.4 and nothing has changed. I've tried factory reset, wiping cache (dalvik too), yet it didn't make a difference.
If it matters, I'm currently using CM 10.2-20131110-NIGHTLY-d802.
The point of this is because I get an error when I try to flash a kitkat rom (e.g. CM 11.2) and I assume I need to update recovery.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

OH MY GOD I had Root Access set to Apps Only in Dev options. I feel like an idiot.
Thanks anyway Art, at least Flashify made me realise there was an issue with root.
