To enter in recovery mode, use RomManager.

can't use ROM Manager to recovery too. WiFi can't connect and when it appear allow a superuser. a program become idle and didn't do anything

Sounds like a bad flash. I'd reflash modded stock v2, then boot to recovery and wipe user data/cache/dalvik and then reflash the full 8.1 ROM. This should make sure you have a working CWM and probably fix your wifi issue too.

NO! If you are using VC 3.2 you should avoid using the ROM manager provided recovery as it is for the wrong tablet (g tablet i think) and it WILL soft-brick your Vega.

I've soft bricked my vega using this exact method!
How do I unbrick please?

When you say "soft bricked", what exactly does the tab do when you turn it on??
Best way to recover is to power down tab, attach tab to computer with usb cable. Make sure tab is charged, or plugged in at the time. hold down the back button (top of tab, next to power button), then press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, then release it while you continue to hold the back button another 2 seconds, then release back button. Your screen should flash once quickly, then stay off.
Now, if everything worked, click on the Mod Stock icon on your computer. and after a little time it will start writing files to the tab. If it says device cant be found, you are not in recovery mode, try again the power/back button instructions, it may take a few times before you get tab into recovery.
There are more precise booting into recovery instructions if needed, just Google "rooting Advent tablet"
I'm assuming you already have the usb drivers, and the roms on your computer, and know how to use them.

This works offcourse, but I want to install VegaICE updates, which needs recovery acces in vegacomb (which is not possible for me).

I have exactly the same issue! I have Vegacomb and wanted to go to HoneyIce as my son can't get skype to work BUT i can't get into Recovery in order to update. Rom Manager just reboots and all i see is the 'Warning about free software' then it just boots into VegaRom.
Would love someone to help if possible?

[Q] How to install ClockworkMod Recovery

I'm currently running Prime! v1.3r2 and want to flash up to Prime! V1.4 but I am having some issues/ questions about CWM. The way I remembered, you just powered the device off, then held down vol down and power and it should boot into CWM. When I do this, it boots to a message that says "Press <VOL_UP> to execute or <VOL_DOWN> to cancel wiping data" with a glowing wipe data box at the center of the screen. I'm paranoid to do this and always press the vol down key. I know that I had to use CWM when rooting and flashing to Prime! v1.3r2, but it was super late at night and I was super tired and kind of zombied my way through it. Could someone please shed some light on what I am doing wrong?
Also, when using Rom Manager, when you go into Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, there are alot of devices listed, but no Asus Transformer so I apparently can't load it that way either. Do we use one from another device or are we currently not able to use Rom Manager?
Thanks to any who can help educate me!
Basicly you have to power off ur Transformer, hold down "Power" and "Vol-Down" at the same time and continue holding until some white letters appear on the left upper corner of your TF-display. From now on you have 5 seconds to release the two pressed buttons and press "Vol-Up".

In a bit of a bind...
So I finally rooted my Transformer, using the windows method of doing that (using APX), and everything went well. However, it seems I now can't get into recovery mode. I use the Vol Down + power, followed by Vol Up, get the message that it is booting the recovery, but it just sits there spinning.
(Exact message is "Booting recovery kernel image)
I am thinking that said kernel image can't be located.
Sadly, I am now not able to boo the tablet in APX mode to try and fix it.
does anybody have any suggestion? I would like to install clockworkmod recovery, but at this point I am not too sure what to do.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Stuck on "Booting recovery kernel image"
Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I have exactly the same problem. I've tried flashing alternate recovery.img files, but still cannot get CWM to come up.
Thanks!

SOLVED: I finally got past this by using nvflash to rewrite all the partitions and install a new ROM. I used the instructions at
http://tabletroms.com/forums/transf...ment/976-nvflash-unbricking-forever-root.html
which is written for Prime 1.4. This is possibly overkill, because it rewrites ALL the partitions and you lose all data, but since my problem appeared to be related to something other than just the boot loader and/or the system partition, I decided to take the hit. I followed those instructions as is, and got a Prime 1.4 system with CWM working perfectly. Then I just grabbed the latest Prime build and patches and applied them from CWM.
This is a huge relief, as I've been fighting with this for quite awhile. I see that many people have had a similar problem, and on other Tegra based tablets as well. While I haven't tried it, I presume that from this point, I could go back and install stock again, rooted or unrooted, with the BRK's nice tool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
I hope this helps out someone else with a similar problem.

[GUIDE] How to rollback from ICS leak.

How to rollback from ICS leak
***THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA***
What you need:
EUU from Timmydean of 3.2.1 V4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539
Your CPUID
Your CPUID was probably changed when you flashed the ICS leak.
How you can find it in the ICS leak
Download and install a terminal emulator from the market and enter in the following.
dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt
Copy that file to your computer and open it or open it in a text editor on your A500
Look for androidboot.serialno= and the number is listed is your CPUID.
***DO NOT PLUG TABLET INTO COMPUTER UNTIL STEP ******
1. Download and extract root-3.2.1-V4
2. Run PBJ20upgrade.exe (right click and run as administrator).
3. Click Ok on Make sure your ICONIA TAB is not connected to a computer. If a "New Hardware Wizard" window appears, click "Cancel".
4. Click Next
5. Let it install the USB drivers
6. Click Next on Go to Settings/Applications/Development to enable "USB debugging" (see the picture)
7. It will try and scan for the current image version and new image version, this will take about 5 minutes.
8.
Follow the steps to get your A500 into APX mode.
1. Turn off the ICONIA TAB by long pressing the power button for 5 seconds.
2. Use a paperclip to push the reset button, don't release it.
3. Press the power button for 3 seconds.
4. Release the power button
5. Wait for 1 sec and take out the paperclip.
6. Use the USB cable to connect ICONIA TAB and PC
7. Click Yes
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA.
8. Type in your CPUID, click next.
This will reset your tablet to a Rooted 3.2.1. Once it boots up you can install Acer Recovery installer from the market and install CWM recovery and restore your ROM or flash a new one.
Thanks for writing this up.

Thanks, i did this last night. There is another way with CWM directly installed, so you can do a CWM nand restore immediately after the process. I'll post that later today. Currently at the swimmingpool for my son's swimming lessons.
Sent from my Ping192's Custom ROM using xda premium
On a501
this should work on a501 too right? coz i dont see any androidboot.serialno in my dmesg.txt
edit :- it works. dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt has to be issued in terminal within few seconds after we reboot the system.
THANKS!

never moves passed that also the tab wont enter recovery says the recovery.img is incorrect or something to that effect.
Dunno why but it says please download the newer image for the upgrade... then just an exit button... does nothin?
EDIT: Never mind... I re-read the post... but I accidentally pulled the USB while it was 'upgrading' is that a problem as now it doesn't work any more?
EDIT2: Oh thank god! It tells you when it works because it says enter Acer Download Mode in the top left in small writing. Seems pretty fool-proof and robust to me, thank you JazzyJames.
EDIT3: Oh crap it failed again... now it wants me to restart it.. :'(
EDIT4: All good 3.2 booted! Thanks again.

That's more like your PC not recognizing your tablet in apx mode then. Make sure the driver is installed. If you go to device manager you will be able to check if the driver is installed or not.
i must be screwing up something simple, because when i try and get into apx mode the tablet vibrates, shows the black acer screen and instantly shuts down. i can power on just fine without holding reset but cant figure out apx mode.
a couple times i managed to get it to boot into the lock screen, says "Charging, 0%" with my wifi connecting but no screen response. works fine after a 5-second power button shut off and rebooting. cant figure out apx mode at all for some reason.

The best way to know if your in APX mode is when the screen is off and your power button is white. You don't need to be EXACT on the times of holding down power and reset, the main thing is.
Hold Reset atleast 3 seconds
Continue to hold reset and add power button.
Release power after about 3 seconds.
Then release reset, screen will be blank and power button is white, I myself noticed it works best if the tablet is not fully charged and not plugged into charge.

You should have posted a freaking warning that this deleted EVERYTHING off of our tablets. I lost pictures of my daughter that I'll never get back because of this method and there was no warning what so ever. Generally wiping data means wiping data, not /mnt/sdcard.
Just a question before jumping on this: I have installed the leaked stock 4.0.3, so I lost everything with regards to rooting. Also I can not use Busybox, SuperUser, CWM et all on my Iconia.
With this method I can fallback to 3.2.1 even though I have the stock leaked 4.0.3 installed?
Also the CPUID is not the original one from before flashing the stock 4.0.3, but the CPUID I got from flashing with 4.0.3. Is this a problem?

I am sure there are recovery tools - surely for Windows - who can help you get your "lost" pictures back.

What have we learned?
Back-up files that are important to you.
Take the time to learn about what these tools do before using them.
That being said, the OP should include that ALL data on the tablet will be wiped.
PS: /mnt/sdcard is actually in the data partition (/data/media). Custom recoveries skip over the /media directory when doing a data wipe, by default.
Hit quote instead of edit. My apologies.
Did a restore and it worked flawlesly. Thanks for the clear instructions!
Jesus..i spent so many hours trying to get the computer to see the tablet in apx mode and it just won't..any ideas on how to get the drivers installed correctly? Adb is installed and i have rooted quite a number of phones so i know its not Adb
Edit: Got it! I had to manually add the damn drivers through device manager.. thank you everyone for the help!!

[Q] A500 refuses to go into download mode

Ok I have been using the ics leak (version 19) trying to install custom recovery.
All the instructions for going into download mode says to insert paperclip into reset and while holding down reset press power button for exactly 3 seconds then after 1 second release reset button.
My problem is while reset button is pushed in the unit does not respond at all to the power button period. tried it for an hour. Reset button works. power button works. Power button with the reset button pushed in does not work at all.
Is it possible in the ics leak they have disabled the download mode??
Just thought I would update with more information
adb reboot works
adb reboot recovery gives me blank screen. If I hold down power again it will eventually go into recovery mode and tell me recovery is broken (red triangle).
adb reboot download gives me a blank screen like the power is off.
I an thinking my power button may be bad as I have to hold it down for 10 seconds while it is off or in stand by to get it back on or off of stand-by mode.
Anways tried for an hour and a half. Hopefully someone has a clue on this...

I'm confused not sure what you are trying to achieve here. Need more info.
1) which ics leak have you installed?
2) To install a custom recovery using Acer Recovery Installer from the market is easiest. it will backup and restore and allow u to flash roms, does not work for 3.2 tho
3) Download mode is used with the acer upgrade utility (EUU) to rollback to HC 3.2 from ICS or to go back to stock NOT to install a custom recovery.
4) The button press method to enter custom recovery is vol down/power.
So if you can post a bit more info i'm sure we'll get you to where you want to be

I was using the guide here to install the unlocked bootloader then CWM. Sorry I was not more specific.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012
Sorry it worked finally it took 2 hours to get into the mode. It seems my power button does not work very well. I had it pressed in for almost 20 seconds for it to take. I noticed that the only way to know before plugging in the usb is to watch for the power button to light up white.
Maybe the guide should be updated to let you know the screen will be blank untill a later part of the process.
At least I was able to get the bootloader unlocked now and CWM recovery install. I may still have to send the unit in if the button stops working.

[Q] Bricked?

I have a a501, it was on alexandria III and it was taking forever to boot so I figured i'd update the firmware with ICS out.
I installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619913 via CWM/recovery menu ver 5.5 or so and rebooted, power + volume up didn't give me a menu so I tried to reinstall the ICS bootloader, it installed like the time before except I got messages from my recovery menu like it couldn't write logs to disk (thought that was fine - thought it was being overwrote) so restarted my tablet and... nothing was unresponsive (black screen no blacklight) so I held the power button down until it shut down.
I've tried power/volume up, tried using the reset button to get into APX mode - didn't see the tablet on my computer(But I may have been impatient), tried power/volume down repeatedly, unplugged the battery and rebooted - nothing.
After I shut it down it's responsive like it's functioning somewhat, it'll turn on and off but no blacklight and nothing on the screen or vibrations.
USB debugging is on, I don't know my id
Anyone with similar problem? How did you fix it? :\

Patience and following instructions to the letter!!! You must use nvFlash to fix this - I have given you enough info for you to recover your tab BUT you cannot do anything without your cpuid - so I suggest you begin by reading the cpuid guide thoroughly first - everything you need is in there...
As Dibbs informed, when you update your bootloader to V8, you can only do this via NVFlash.
For those of us who installed all Skirlax_CZ bootloaders, the CWM function did not arrive till Version 4 of the bootloader. Only then could you CWM the bootloaders. But..... you had to be on a version 4 bootloader "First", before you could CWM the subsequent versions of the bootloader.
If you are just starting out, then you must use NVFlash to initially install any version of the bootloader.

[Q] Bricked lgp700 after flashing cm 11.0

Hello,
I am very new to rooting etc. I rooted my phone a few days ago, unlocked bootloader and tried to flash cm11.0 with rom manager (cwmg) following this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521239
Unfortunately I didn´t understand the instructions well, so after wiping caches, instead of doing a full format I did a user data etc format (which i now think was a factory reset). Tried flashing, didn´t succeed.
Anyway, when I try to switch it on I only get the lg logo and then the batery charging thingy When I try to go to recovery mode with volume up power and menu button, my phone goes on a loop of lg and cyanomod logos untill infinity ( Have to take off the battery). Tried to use heimdall (as i have a mac) to flash kdz back to it, but phone was not recognized. On my pc tried the same, but again phone not seen. I can see it on my computer as an unrecognized external usb but cannot explore. Any ideas on what to do??
thanks in advance

As soon as you plug your USB into your phone, hold down the volume up (+) button and the power button and release them after holding them down for about 2 to 3 seconds. Then, install the USB driver for your phone with the LG Mobile Support Tool. Secondly, download and install the LG PC Suite program and last but not least, download the KDZ program. Install the correct firmware for your phone and make sure you select 'EMERGENCY' from the list on the top right of the KDZ program. Select your downloaded firmware file and start the program. If everything worked out, the program should crash after it's done and your phone should reboot. Disconnect your phone from the computer if it doesn't reboot and try to boot it up again.
You can find all of these programs along with tutorials on how they work by searching on either XDA or Google.
did forcing recovery/download work ?

the phone off usb in and buttons did it work ?
Actually didn´t work,I have drivers already, LG PC Suite program , and KDZ. Problem is my phone is not detected by pc, so kdz unzips and then says : phone not detected, with or without battery...doesn´t go into recovery mode with buttons, just lg and cyanomod logos...
I don`t know if this can b fixed.....How can you flash anything if it´s not detected....
I´ll give it a try again tomorrow, without trying to enter recovery mode....but tried lots of buttons combinations and wasn´t working
Press these buttons
volume +
,volume -
home button
together with the power button
release all buttons except power button when you get a vibration
release the power button immediately after the lg logo has appered
this should let you get in the recovery menu
