You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.
i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone
use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed
Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.
thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?
any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.
I posted this in the wrong thread before, and I apologize.
I'm not sure what happened here; I'm trying to upgrade my phone to Cyanogen 7. The last time I did this, I didn't have any problems. Basically, anything involved with trying to get into Clockworkmod ends up with a screen showing the phoen and a red triangle and !. At this point, I have to pull the battery out to let it reboot again.
I've googled many different things, but most of it is not related to my particular phone and or circumstances. ROM Manager is the most current version, and it is showing that I have the most current version of Clockworkmod.
When I try to upgrade from ROM manager, it asks me to backup existing ROM and Wipe Data and cache, which I do. It then reboots and hits that screen.
If I try to do it manually on reboot by holding VOL DOWN + Power, I can get to (I don't know what it's called) the screen with Fastboot, recovery etc. When I try to go to Recovery, it goes to the triangle screen again.
The at the red triangle screen use power + vol up to get into the stock recovery.
JTB
That is it! I looked at several different things, and they all said "get into Clockworkmod Recovery" but didn't tell me how and I couldn't remember.
Thanks !
hi 2 all
I want to brief how made brick my tab step by step
first of all i had an Acer_A500_4.010.43_COM_GEN1 3.1 stock rom on my tab that i upgrade it to 3.2 Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN1 by tablet then i decided to root my tablet for installation custom rom and i downgrade to 3.01 rom by this typic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227 method 1 i reverted successfully and after rooting i installed and tested this 3 roms (taboonay 2.2-thor 14.2&light speed 1.07) but each one had some problems like google map or gps or rotation screen so i installed a 3.1hc stock rom Acer_A500_4.010.41_COM_GEN1 and rooted that worked good but i had mistake and i forget erase update.zip file from my sd card

the chinese rom and checksum error are supposed to happen.
the chines rom is an old unstable version but is provided so we can root it to install cwm and flash a working rom.
after the checksum error you needed to power off and then using the buttons enter recovery mode and go to 'Fix checksum error' in advanced menu - after that reboot.
you should do the following:
a)go back and read the entire post on what to do because you missed the last part
or
b)try the backdoor method
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
just read your entire post again...there's alot going on there isnt there?
have you tried flashing the update.zip again with 3.0.1 on it...get back to the chinese rom, from there install iconia root and root it. Then install cwm and you should be all good - if that doesnt work then use timmyDeans backdoor method it does it for you, all you need to do is install acer recovery installer to install cwm, backup the original stock recovery when the app asks you, you will need it to OTA Update successfully...
Doesn't flashing stock rom remove cwm?

V3 which I pointed you to is STOCK 3.2.1 with root. Once you get there you will be stable. If you want CWM then you will have to install it. It is NOT in the flash because the flash is stock ONLY with root. But since you have root, you can install CWM.
The serial number does NOT need to be saved in any file. Just follow the instructions.

Ok, now just download the stock image for your country and put it on your external sdcard. Use the power and volume + key which will launch stock recovery (which you now have flashed) and it will flash your tablet with the one located on your sdcard. This will have you back stock.

You have a "volume" switch on top of your tab (long silver switch on left side)
You control volume from this. Vol+ make sound go up (the right side of it)
Press it on the left side, and volume goes quiet (vol-)
So, as he said, with the tablet OFF, hold the VOL+ side of the button, then select PWR (power)
You have 2 recovery modes.
1. CWM Recovery (vol- & Pwr) (after you have root and cwm installed)
2. Stock Acer recovery (vol+ & Pwr)
Step number 2 with the stock acer recovery, should install the stock rom you copied to your sd like TimmyDean said earlier.

Please rewrite what you are trying to do. I have no idea what you are talking about?
Are you asking about stock recovery and flashing form a SD Card? If so, copy update.zip to your SD card and then run recovery. If you have CWM, then use it to select the update from the SD Card.
It's not clearly as to exactly what you have loaded and what you are trying to do?
LASTLY: You cannot take a backup from CWM and have the stock recovery install it. Stock recovery will only install update.zip which must be signed by ACER.

I rooted this, installed clockworkmod, then went and got an cm7 dated april something 2012 u8160 rom from psyke83 website.
installed it through clockworkmod install from sd card option with success (also clicked option to backup everything).
yet when phone reboots it hangs on the blue arrow in a circle spinning around, sometimes reboots n repeats but it never goes past that.
I have tried going into recovery mode holding down volume buttons and power
and I get 1 of 2 errors:
with sd card in:
firmware update
step 1/2
unpacking
update failed
with sd card out:
purple screen.
I am a first time android modder, can someone please, please tell me how to fix this. I can access the sd card with a reader if need be to put whatever files on it that I should.
Thank you.
Start the phone by pressing volume up + power OR volume down + power. You should be able to boot to recovery with one of those combinations (other one boots to fastboot most probably). After that do the wipe data/cache and try to reboot once again.
What was wrong in the beginning was that you did not wipe data/cache. That made the CM use old OS's data files which obviously won't work.
The unpacking thing was caused by pressing volume up + volume down + power. That causes the phone to go to upgrade mode if there is an update package found.
Nope. still goes to the blue arrow circling then freezes then reboots....

You are right about me not wiping the data/cache though...
But in your phone forum, are there tutorials on how to boot to recovery? Do you have any other hard keys on the phone?
there is one other button but that didn't work either.

Hmm, would this work?
yay!!
it was volume up + power + cancel button (? maybe home button? not sure on what this button is but its the biggest).
wiped all data n cache n then it booted properly.
So the problem is solved? If you can, mark first post title with [SOLVED].
