Please can you elaborate...or point me in right direction......recovery is now only accessible by flashing it first....phone just wont do anything

download a 2.3.3 nandroid backup and restore to it using clockwork recovery
ignore odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
update to 2.3.3 using http://android.clients.google.com/p...2cf141e6a.signed-soju-ota-102588.f182cf14.zip
or just download CM7 and flash that along with gapps (wipe dalvik/cache/factory)
and your phone is not bricked. the definition of a bricked phone is a phone who cannot access recovery/fastboot/etc.. can access absolutely nothing

Well, he does say that his attempts to flash a rom always abort...
OP, we need more details.
Are you using Clockwork Recovery? Which version? Try an older/newer version...
What ROM are you trying to flash? Have you tried others?
What happens when you try a normal boot? You say you get as far as the first setup screen?
Have you tried a Factory Reset of the phone from within recovery (stock or clockwork)?

Many thanks to both of you.....for your help .....so much appreciated......i have got past first setup screen after applying a nandroid backup......it finally worked after 5 times trying....but i have stock android recovery but rom manager on phone .....how can i get clockwork mod back as everytime i flash it.....i get to use it for that one instance ans then it returns to stock android recovery

I think it might be okay now ....after titanium said busybox was installed....i dont think it was done correectly.....after downloading busy box from market....recovery seems to be sticking rather then reverting back to android. Just to check....is there anything i should do to check all is well on my phone and also while flashing i think i changed build number from IR to GH (what are the implications of this move? many thanks...phew
EDIT- NO recovery still wont stay....any ideas?

That's normal. See below:
It's normal to lose the recovery after the reboot, the steps to flash the CW recovery needs to be repeated every time you want to access the CW recovery.
This is due the build in protection in 2.3
As some one pointed it out on another topic, the good thing about this is that you'll never lose the stock recovery of 2.3, thus minimizing the chance of a bricked phone.
If you want to the CW recovery to remain permanently, you'll need to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something thing else

Root 8.4.4.11

Hi everyone,
Do we have a reliable method to root 8.4.4.11 and install cwm? There are reports of Pure Root causing some brickages. Can anyone confirm? Is someone working on a new root?
Thanks!

eh.. if you keep reading that thread it appears it was just a bad power button. There are several confirmations of Pure Root working oin 8.4.4.11

didn't work for me, tried it few times, every time it will stuck on the boot screen and won't do anything. have to flash back to stock, and i'm sure my power button is working fine. any one have any ideas?

NO DO NOT DO THIS! I just bricked my transformer! Now to unbrick. How do you flash back to stock? Nvflash recovery?

Are you sure you are not in APX mode? APX mode is complete black screen. Hold power down for 10 seconds then release then hold down for 4.

Hi, I had the same problem.
I used nvflash. Here is the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15721696&postcount=284
This will unbrick and install prime 1.5. You will need to root it following the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
Then you can revert back to stock and unroot using the instructions here if you want to install the update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093403
I installed clemsyn's rom which gives me a rooted, overclocked rom with the .11 update.

follow one of the unroot guide that use nvflash to go back to the stock. that's the only thing i found working. also, after flash back to stock i can't get OTA anymore, have to update to 8.4.4.11 manually...also, after goback to stock, try to wipe the data though stock recovery, might help if you have more problem with it.

I've updated with pure root with no problem at all.

There are many ways to get out of this situation. Get all the tools (adb, ROM zip files, etc.). Read posts in the thread. Ask for help there.
Good luck.

Put your transformer in APX mode by hold the power button & volume up.. If it turns back on do it again, make sure you have you sync cable plugged in and drivers installed. Now that your in APX download this stock rom then root it with viper (option 1 in viper)

Yes there's a fix in there towards the bottom of the first post.
If you want to flash another recovery, turn your device on into recovery, connect it to your computer and use adb to push the file to your internal storage.
It should be something like "adb push filename.zip /data/media" then you can use the borked recovery you're on to flash the one you pushed.

His problem is with it getting stuck in recovery, which is a known issue with Koush's 5.5.0.4, simple fix with adb. No need to reflash the whole rom.

Running Rooted 3.2.1 to ICS? Do I unroot?

I am in the same camp.
I'm running a rooted 3.2 stock by Timmy Dean.
I'm happy I didn't jump the gun when I Saw the update last night, because it seems I would have truly been screwed.
What I would like to know is if a rooted 3.2 can simply be unrooted. Seems this would the simplest thing to do.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Apparently the root doesn't matter. It will just be removed when we install the ota ICS. What worries me is recovery. Because it has to boot into a recovery to install ICS. I had CWM installed then flashed to stock by acer recovery tool in the play store. But when I manually boot into recovery, I get a exclamation point inside a triangle. What recovery are you guys running?

Yeah I think so as well. I flashed stock via the Acer recovery tool but I get nothing when I boot into recovery except what I stated above. I'm not sure if that's right or not.

I was happily running timmydean's rooted 3.2.1 based on the leaked OTA. The ICS upgrade came through and installed just fine. No loss of data and the programs I tried all worked. I was on stock 4.0.4 unrooted.
However, I'm now borked. I rebooted into recovery (Power, Vol -) to see about rooting via the backdoor I'd installed. I had thor's 1.7 Touch CWM recovery installed. I got some weird message that recovery was broken. (Don't recall the exact msg.)
After that, it hung on the "android" screen. Soft-bricked.
So I did a factory reset (Power, vol+, rock screen switch) and ended up back on 3.2.1. Now, the Settings > About > Check update results in the "Network coverage is currently poor. Please move to a location with better coverage to continue." message.
My WiFi is fine, speedtest.net reports a 20 Mbps download. All other apps function well. I'm pulling a DCHP address from my router.
I'm fairly sure this is a badly-worded error message from Acer and actually refers to server overload or some other issue on their end.
Also, installing the latest Acer Iconia Update preps the system for ICS. At one point, installing it allowed the update to proceed, but not to ICS. Uninstalling/reinstalling that update seemed to jog the system at one time.
So I tried wiping data/cache/dalvik and went back to stock 3.2. Same error message when updating. Wiped again and went back to stock 3.0.1. Same error message.
So I'm stuck and am going to give it a few days to see if Acer can sort out their upgrade path. If not, I will probably load CM9 or Thor's ICS ROM. (I do have a Nandroid, so I can get back to where I was pre-ICS.)
All in all, I'm very disappointed in Acer for borking my tablet.
________
Update: So now a day later, the "poor coverage" message was replaced by an "update available". Installed A500_7.014.03_com_gen1, after reboot, another update A500_7.014.15_com_gen1 installed. I am now on stock 3.2.1.
System update shows "Your device is up to date".
Will see what tomorrow brings, but this is certainly frustrating.

********************************************
Could you guys running the backdoor and still rooted please try this:
1) Try and capture the build no. of the update
2) See if the update will download BUT do not install yet
3) Go to /cache/fota/ and find the zip -
4) copy it to yr external sd
5) post back the build no.
thanks!!!
Procedure for manual install:
1/ rename the file as : update.zip
2/ place the file on the micro sd card
3/ turn off the tablet
4/ press the down volume key and the power button at the same time untill the tablets turns on
5/ the iconia will start the upgrade process by itself.
OR just redownload the update and it install
*********************************************
I had trouble when i reverted to stock in the weekend
and it was a bit of a process to get the OTA's to 3.2.1.
I did manage to hold "full root" but had to revert a couple of times
by putting stock recovery back and using backdoor .
I accidentally factory reset and everything went a bit pear shaped from there...oops!!
Im still waiting for the OTA ICS - getting network coverage error -one good thing
is my partners tab is only 5 days old and still pure factory,
her tab shows same error so at least we know its not root/backdoor problem
So yeah if u gonna take the OTA best to get rid of the backdoor unless you wanna play guinea pig for us all>>>>
dunno why we aint found one of those yet
I dont think you can cause too much of a problem where a "hard reset" pwr/vol -/rotation lock/ combo wont fix...you can then root from there.

hi 3d0rr!!
i think those of us with the backdoor should be meticulous if/when taking the OTA.
we shouldnt need to unroot and use stock recovery as the ota should get rid of that in the flash. But to ensure a stress free OTA it may pay to do it anyway.
i know you previously told me u were stock gen 1 - but is that from factory, just finished reading a very interesting post regarding the different 'gens' so i for one am sticking with factory build gen :just for the official OTA anyway:

Dibb_nz, I was stock gen 2. I don't wanna take OTA until be sure it's safe. Unless now I know that a hard factory reset may save my tab if something happen.

BTW, the network coverage errors seems to be an Acer's error. First I received OTA and a day after that I see that error on my tab. And a couple of hours later I have OTA again. So, don't worry, you should get OTA asap

oh sounds promising, although I just read another post from someone across the ditch in OZ he reckoned acer said they were working on a patch for the problems theyre havin with the first update...who knows
now m8, sorry to confuse you, that wasnt my intention, but i try to make sure that i;m not suggesting things which may end with you or others borkin or brickin yr tab. Ive spent the last few days reading thousands of posts (just like everyone else) thankfully we are fortunate in being able to learn from the mistakes of others I know a bit more about ics than i did 3 days ago let me tell you, lol.
i just finished helpin out a fellow "timmy-ite" stuck with no way of getting in to apx mode to get un-borked...well didnt really help just a sounding board more than anything
he got himself up and running, used the apx tool in my sig, unlocked the bootloader, rooted, flashed custom recovery did a nand and is now running flexreaper - with the tools and knowledge he gained he now has the choice to go back to HC to get the OTA or not....he's one happy camper!!!
Have a read have a read thru the threadhere. ask him a question or two if you want - but dont get too hung up "maybe doing something wrong" you won't be the only person ever to experience that uhh-ohh sinking feeling when you know you shouldnt have just done whatever it was that u just did

timmydean's root method also allows you to install a backdoor to re-root after accepting an OTA. You have to manually install it during the rooting process, so you would know if you had it.

timmyDean How to root stock 3.2.1
Summary:
Version V4 is the same as V3 with the only difference being that there is a NEW backdoor script which has some additional features to protect root(#) from getting broken when you do an OTA. I also applied these to this flash image so you wouldn't have to add the additional protection yourself. V4 also has the drivers for XP included. However, when taking an OTA you should also install the backdoor for additional protection. However, you cannot leave the backdoor installed as it turns off sound. So having a little more protection just might save your root in case you take an OTA and forget to install the backdoor.

Well my friend, this worked to me... I hope this can help somebody else:
Original ROM: Acer A500 3.2.1 COM_GEN2 Rooted and with CWM using Timmy's method.
1) Go to play market and install Acer Recovery Installer.
2) Open Acer Recovery and verify with recovery do you have. In my case it was CWM recovery by thor2002ro 1.5
3) Install stock recovery. Make a backup of your old recovery when ask.
4) Factory reset: in my case, I made a backup of all my data and used Titanium to backup some apps. Then I harded reset my tab by turning it off and the combo pwd + vol(+) then lock-unlock switch 3 times until I saw "eraing user data" in the top-left corner.
5) turn on the tab and go to google play. Search for acer and install Update enhancement.
6) Go to settings-> about-> system update and aply the OTA update.
You will lost root, but everything should work fine.

instead download blackthund3r's one-click-root,
google "ICS Root for Windows"
At step 3 - After you have backed up -
Copy the uid.txt file from the backup folder - this holds your cpu id -
you're probably gonna need it at sum stage

Unable to flash back to stock! Help please?

So, I'm trying to flash back to stock, (either GB or ICS, at this point it doesn't really matter), and PC Odin fails to flash every time it tries to write the factoryfs.img
The only way I can get myself back to a working device is if I do a battery pull, go back into download mode, re-flash CWM and do a recovery back into CM9.
I have tried mobile Odin as well, and again, the flash fails when it reaches factoryfs.img. Are my partitions all screwed up? If so, how can i fix that?
Thoughts? Help? Thanks!

See, that's what I was thinking too... Where can I get the correct .pit file though? I have stock KKA already downloaded; that's what I've been using for a while now for any time I have had to flash back to GB stock for whatever reason.

I have the pit file from the LP1 leak, but I don't want to use that, A) because it was from a leaked firmware, and B) because it looks like it was for the 32gb model, and mine is the 16gb.
This is the one I have: "Q1_20110919_32GB.pit"
Oh and apparently I have one called "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" but since i have NO idea what that was from or what it's for, I'm not likely going to try that either...

Just foud one in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26009909&postcount=22

I was going to flash stock LC1 via pc odin cos I'm currently on LPY and I'd like to go back to GB. And I think I should ask before flashing that will it work and should I do something else than just hit lc1 in pda and flash?

Sadly, those files are packaged in .7zip format. I'm at work right now, and I don't have the admin rights to install 7 zip just to extract it. Can you re-pack and post here in a regular .zip file please?

Just flash it, if its a 3 file package put all the 3 files in their respective place, if its one file, put it in pda and flash and also make sure Kies is not running in the background

Well, at least this time the stock flash worked insofar as it completed. However, when the device reset, it went ahead saying "Installing packages" and such, and then it error'ed out saying something like there was invalid argument and it couldn't do something, then I was landed back at the stock recovery. I selected to reboot the system, and now I'm stuck at the Samsung boot animation; just keeps running indefinitely... What now?

Hold power button and try to keep rebooting.
