Is there ever going to be a version of recovery that works 100%?

First off, my tone is from frustration. I've experienced this snafu now on both versions of clockwork recovery. The phone won't completely shut off while charging. If I power the phone down unplugged, then plug it in while off, recovery boots up. If it's plugged in while powering down, recovery boots up after a few seconds.
I suppose I could flash cwm when I need it then flash back to stock recovery. I guess that's what I'm going to have to do until it might get fixed. I thought going to version 3 would fix the bug but apparently not. I've tried to flash a new recovery with rom manager but an error always happens.
I flashed version 2 the way the root guide said and flashed 3 with fastboot. I forgot if thats the way it was done with 2 or what. I am starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong because I don't see anyone else complaining about this.

Are you looking to bump charge? You've asked this issue a multitude of times and each time its been responded to. (at least in my mind, might be others too) and it is a known issue with CWM recovery and from what I've read Koush isn't really looking at fixing it.

I can't speak for what'll happen in the future but it's not you. That is a known issue with the recoveries we currently have. I believe most of the complaints are in the how to root thread.
^ Shift Faced

I am not talented enough to "fix" the problem but it is discouraging to hear that it isn't deemed important. Maybe I was spoiled with my moment, evo, and epic. It seems as if the shift has the smallest developer base so far. When the evo came out, the devs were all over the place.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've even seen anyone besides myself that has a shift.

You don't think not being able to charge while turned off isn't really a minor problem? And you're using the Moment as a model of progress??
^ Shift Faced

That's what I started on

Yeah, me too. And every ROM was basically themed stock. No CM7, no MIUi, no cool ish like the New Sense. Jeez, they just finally got 2.2 working on it! I'd be using CM7 right now if the headphone jack worked. That ish there excites me.

First..the facts show the shift as a far more superior platform to any samsung..probably even the tab..let alone its not that your problem isn't important...it just isn't to anyone but you so there is some importance..with everyone complaining about all these issues and the limited dev support maybe we should figure out whether we want a rom..a kernel..a recovery fixed or a genie in the bottle..patience is the virtue here because everyone keeps flaming about support for this and that..maybe the devs have a life..maybe they died..maybe they think its funny to see people whine and complain like they owe us some kind of development

Toastcfh has a CM7 where everything works but sending MMS and the headphone output. And he's been working on it everyday. And Cyanogen responded to someone asking him on Twitter if there'd be CM support for the Shift and he said "Yes, soon". I think it was on 2/17.
I have a feeling my Shift is gonna be very happy soon

Soon isn't official yet tho I may look into a way to donate to toastcfh then

How did you install yours? Maybe your hardware version of the phone is different than mine? I bought my phone the day after it went on sale. Hardware version 4

This is the tutorial I had to follow to install my recovery..at the bottom of the page someone rewrote the 2nd command to enter and it worked for me..but I had to follow this tutorial & not the one stickied..let me know if this works..

They didn't read your post. The boot to recovery from power off while charging is univeral. Its just that very few people care very much.

[Q] Random Thought

Does it bug anyone that one click rooting takes way more than 1 click? (Not that I use one click programs for my Xoom)

No. It bothers me that people are so stupid that they want and use the so called one click methods period. Even more so on a device with a unlocked bootloader.

You dont need alot of knowledge and the guids are ez to follow. The problem with one click's are they dont expose you to ADB so when something goes wrong with the one click you wont know what to do. ADB is something that I avoided but with an unlocked bootloader its a good place to learn. just my opinoin

Very well said. I have rooted two android devices previously, but the Xoom gave me my first experience using adb. It came in very handy when I got into a soft brick and was able to negotiate my way out of it. I still experience some anxiety whenever I'm about to mod my Xoom, but it helps to have some basic knowledge (and know what you don't know). Also, read and follow the directions and get everything prepared in advance.

I'm hoping Acer stops being douches and unlocks the bootloader, but who knows. It's depressing to look in the Transformer subforums and see "kernel 1.5GHz custom XYZ ROM" and we're lucky to have NTFS modules working.
It's a solid device and I'll likely keep it, but I also have the luxury of being able to buy another tablet in a couple of months if all goes well, so that can be my hack-away tab. By then 3.1 should be more widespread and Kal-El will be out soon, so I may wait for that even.

If.you.go under android development tab the system images post i think. The guybsays his acer contact is.looking at the bootloader policy and they will see what they can do to help out the dev community needs

How about another poll option - don't care?
I've been a member of XDA for some time (5 years) and have benefited from XDA experience to install custom ROMs on three different Windows Mobile phones.
But I've had my HTC EVO 4G from when they first came out and I've never rooted it or put on a custom ROM. With Android, I never really needed to do so. It did pretty much everything I wanted it to do.
When I bought my Nook Color, I did root it and did play around with some custom ROMs, but now that I have my Acer, I've taken the Nook back to the standard release.
I've only rooted my Acer in order to get CIFS support. As long as we can root, I'm very happy with it.
So put me down as "don't care, love my Acer anyway!" !

What he said!

Yes. Do not buy this tablet if your main goal is to work on hacking and custom roms. I just bricked my tablet yesterday while working on a custom ROM by inadvertently deleting a critical file from the /data partition that doesn't actually get flashed during the firmware update process. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop with no root and no possibility to fix it because of Acer's dumb bootloader lock.
I'm moving on from Acer. The A500 is a loat cause. Hopefully the Samsung 10.1 will have a more lenient boot loader policy otherwise I'll be getting the Asus Transformer.

Ya. That 'don't care' thing? That's me.
Though I did vote #3.
Dead. No.
Dying. Maybe.
It's still too early to judge. Maybe not in 'cracking' time, but in 'product life-cycle' time it is.

I vote for a 5th option, "This poll is stupid."
The device has barely even been out for a month, if you're that worried about it being hacked by now, then go get the transformer.

Fine tablet for me no need to go to a transformer or wat kind of tablet.....but....i will be waiting for Windows8 tot run on a500 so i can run software for the autistic kind of my girlfriend

Have you tried the Chinese firmware update file? My understanding was that that file was a full system reload.
I had screwed my unit and thought it was bricked however this saved mine and I then put the US 1.141.07 upgrade over it.

What have you contributed to the XDA community? I was the one who pointed out that you didn't need the Flexrom to unbrick your system and was the one who pointed out that you didn't need a previous ROM's boot.img to update. I also happen to work on a few Nexus One ROMs and I was the first to get a firmware out with a working video camera recording on Gingerbread.
I would suggest you do a bit more research before you start flaming my posts. My reasons for bricking is a whole lot more complex than simply deleting the TelephonyProvider.apk etc.
If you really want to compare, just head down to Freenode and check out how many devs are on the #xoom and #asus-transformer channels and compare that to the #acer-a500.

*shrug*
I couldn't really care less about your contributions. In this thread, you appear to be trolling.

You seem to be pushing the transformer quite a bit, too, judging by your twitter page.
I think you just have something against the Iconia, and are therefore trolling.

There's a stickied "rollup" thread which has a link to the various rooting methods. All people have to do is read it.

Eh, I found the Iconiaroot thread before the roolup thread was started, so never even noticed it. Honestly, I never saw the rollup thread until you mentioned.

It's not like it's hard to find... It's the first sticky in the dev forum...

Make sure that the external SD is mounted and visible.

I think the battery indicator has a glitch that *Detection* has a temporary fix for. However, even partly broken, the ROM is fantastic. I would like to use it as a daily. I'm just not going to jump the gun on it. I'd like to see a little more in the configurable option department, like a reboot to recovery option in the shutdown menu. Removing the Phone.apk and Telephony.apk also. No real need for them as we stand. That's my 2 pennies so far. But, Paul has really gotten far for such a short time, and I'm excited to see where he takes it.

Risky considering you have no nvflash recovery should anything go wrong.
If you find you have no root / access to CWM you would be basically screwed.
I would listen to your sensible you this time and wait, yes it is bad having to wait, but worse if you brick your tablet.
ICS is nice, fast, but that soon fades with the current suspend / wifi bugs, I would advise waiting

Agreed. I've been in plenty of situations where CWM has saved me and always restored without a problem. It's just a shame i am not able to see the progress as it is happening and I can't be one of those people in the dev thread saying any updates?

The main thing is the kernal. Paul uses a different kernal to get ICS to function more smoothly. In the realm of sbk2, my main concern would be that NVflash doesn't work... and if something goes wrong, you are left with a really expensive coaster. With the rate that Paul has put out updates, it should be no time until we see a daily out of this.

Asking for updates is like asking for an eta..don't do that. These guys are doing this on their own time, it is disrespectful to be impatient.
And fyi guys, i have a B70 if it roots with razor claw and can install cwm, and as long as you don't flash over your recovery you should be able to rescue any bad rom/kernel flash. I guess if my recovery went screwy i would be SOL but so far I've not had a problem. Be patient, and check and double check every step.
Did you wipe dalvik? Factory reset? Better make sure before you flash that rom and do an md5 before you flash any recovery to be sure it didn't corrupt in the meantime..if you are really careful, patient, and read a lot, and i mean A LOT, before you flash you can get away with flashing an sbk2 safely. If on the other hand, you've never flashed anything before, and don't know EXACTLY what you are doing, then i wouldn't risk it.
Paul's ICS is great progress, but unfortunately far from being just a novelty due to the bugginess and loss of functions. I played with it for about 5 minutes before I decided it wasn't ready for prime time and went back to revolver

Asking for updates is like asking for an eta..don't do that. These guys are doing this on their own time, it is disrespectful to be impatient.
And fyi guys, i have a B70 if it roots with razor claw and can install cwm, and as long as you don't flash over your recovery you should be able to rescue any bad rom/kernel flash. I guess if my recovery went screwy i would be SOL but so far I've not had a problem. Be patient, and check and double check every step.
Did you wipe dalvik? Factory reset? Better make sure before you flash that rom and do an md5 before you flash any recovery to be sure it didn't corrupt in the meantime..if you are really careful, patient, and read a lot, and i mean A LOT, before you flash you can get away with flashing an sbk2 safely. If on the other hand, you've never flashed anything before, and don't know EXACTLY what you are doing, then i wouldn't risk it.
Paul's ICS is great progress, but unfortunately far from being just a novelty due to the bugginess and loss of functions. I played with it for about 5 minutes before I decided it wasn't ready for prime time and went back to revolver

about asking for ETA doesn't meen your disrespectall ful, look at all the ICS questions that asus got, its not disrespectful, you ask's for something that is good to know when you can be able to prepare to leave Honeycomb and go to ICS. but in this case Paul is almost alone working on this. and i can see that asking ETA when he does this on freetime will make it much more harder to set a date! SO asking ETA Isn't Mean. you really show that something is wanted and can give the OP both glad and angry moment's......
Anyhow. The Work goes amazingly fast forward, i wish i had his schills

You do realize asking Asus for an eta, when they are a company selling a product, and asking developers who are working for free in their own time, are not the same thing right?
Read the rules. It says pretty explicitly.. Do not ask for eta's.

Well the ETA thing was a joke simply because every third post in the dev thread is got an ETA. Don't let the lack of posts fool you I have been around the block a few times. Also if I hadn't been reading I wouldn't have known that it was not recommend to install on sbk2 devices.

Help me out..... where does it say no etas? Serious question.... thnx

I think what the last post referred to is when you pay for a service it's ok to ask them(ASUS) for an ETA but when devs here (Xda) do it for nothing more than street cred, fun, or cause they want to it is not cool to ask for an ETA.

Ok, it isn't as explicit as I thought, but it has been pounded into my head because it's been repeated so many times over and over..

This part IS in the guide (though not in the rules);
XDA-Devs is about developers & hackers helping each other and working together to get the most out of our devices by understanding them better than most.
XDA-Devs is not about helping everyone who wants a "Kewl bit of kit" make their phone better than the guy next to him.
Now do we go kicking users off who never contribute anything, NO. We tolerate it to an extent. Where the toleration ends is when these users start diluting the usefulness of the forum by repeating the same questions over and over again.

I've just read it so many times it's become a 'rule' in my head. Sorry I was not accurate when stating it was 'explicit in the rules'. But it is a matter of respect for the devs

I wonder if we could do a tally and see how many posts on xda are actually people asking for updates or etas? Probably be in the thousands if not more.
Anyways back on topic.... sorry about that i thought that the implication that it was a joke was pretty clear in the previous message.
So i do think i will try ICS out after i do my backups. I suppose as a trial it will be good.
