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?

I then installed the recovery apk and wsa able to install CM V6

I was on 4.1.1 (rooted and CWM installed, no custom rom), I heard that the update was out so got the 31 MB update and installed it through CWM. At the time of rebooting system by CWM, I disabled the recovery flash. It rebooted normally.
But after I tried to reboot it into recovery, it just get into a double loop of google logo and then reboot in ADB. I flashed the recovery again using Google Nexus Toolkit 2.0.0 but had no luck on rebooting in recovery.
I flashed the recovery with clean update of 4.1.2 full new but no luck on recovery flashing after that too. Can anybody help or is there any other way to install recovery on 4.1.2??
Have you tried installing CWM with ROM Manager? That worked for me.

There are quite a few users experiencing the same problem...myself as well. There doesn't seem to be a fix for this issue. There are a couple of threads in the Q&A sub forum on the issue. Last I check no one has found a solution.
I have this exact issue as well.
This is a temporary fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32680976&postcount=10
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!!
I have an Acer A500, it has the v9 bootloader installed. I also have TWRP 2.6.3 installed as the secondary ROM, the recovery is also completely broken, fastboot and zip will not install on it (TWRP 2.6 is to big), but recovery using 2.4.4.0 does boot. That fine since with secondary and recovery installed I can use TWRP from either, which works great, but if I install a ROM it only boots once, then poof, its as if there is no kernel it will not boot. To boot a new ROM I have to format everything except the external SD (which I have removed) then install the ROM reboot to TWRP install it again, then reboot at which time it will boot about 1 is 3 times, if it fails try again and repeat.
Now the ACER is basically useless now as I can not boot safely to anything other than TWRP, I've tried 2 4.0.3 ROMs but I can not get the Installers to run, I've tried 2 10.1 ROMS boot both booted only once and also a 4.3 ROM (build 5 and 6) boot again both booted only once. I'm out of ideas I'd flash almost anything at this point to reset, but then there is that Windows 8.1 issue in which I can not get ACER driver to work (Duh!), and I do not think the issue is going to be fixed, I can only come up with 2 options 1 the internal storage is going bad, or the entire setup is just toast, since it can work, it just does not do so more than once.
Currently I have 10.2 (build6) running, so long as I do not need to reboot, so for now it is charging.
Any suggestions,
ERIC

I have same problem with TWRP. Try to replace TWRP with TouchRecovery
Hi,
Guys I need your help on this one.
I sold my A500 almost a year ago to a friend of mine. At that time I flashed it with a HC ROM and Recovery 1.3.4.
Last week the new owner of the tabled asked me for help updating the ROM to JB. Since now I use a Samsung Galaxy I completely forgot on the correct procedures to update the Acer A500. I simply downloaded a 4.2.2 Rom and tried to flash it on recovery mode.
After that I'm stuck with an endless loop. The tabled boots, pass the Acer logo, shows the ROM logo screen and than boot again.
Since I can still acess the recovery screen (it still shows 1.3.4 recovery) I tried flashing other ROMs with no sucess. Every room that uses the Aurora installer freezes as soons as Aurora Installer message shows on the screen. So I wasn`t able to flash a new Rom or a new Recovery (since all the Roms and recovery that I have found uses the Autora installer).
I also tried to install an older room (Tried the Lightspeed 2.1 ROM) and although I was able to flash it and reboot from recovery, it stops on the boot screen after that (I waited for 4 hours).
Can you guys help me with this one? Also, do you guys know if I can install a new Recovery using Odin?
Thanks
Anyone?
Maybe you should try flashing stock rom. Download 》rename it to update.zip》install from sd card or use EUU roms.

I got bored today and decided to pull out the old N7, 2012 version. I update recovery to TWRP 2.8.7.0, installed CM 12.1, realized this tablet crawls with any version of Android other than shipped version, so I went and got CM 10 and GApps for JB, wiped and flashed them back on. I didn't see any errors when flashing them, but when rebooting after, it just boot loops. I see the Google logo with the unlocked icon at bottom, then reboot and back to Google/unlocked again. So I wipe and reflash cm12.1 and it's GApps and all boots and works fine, other than being slow. I'm assuming the recovery is the problem as I've run into something similar before on another device, but in that case, the recovery was too old and needed updated, but it makes sense that a recovery could be too new as well.
Am I correct that the recovery is the problem? If so, what should I run for CM 10 to flash and work?
Try cwm recovery

I don't' know if it was using CWM or that I also tried CM 10.2 at the same time, but it's working now. On CyanogenMod's own page, there was no MD5 for CM10, but there was for CM10.2, so it's possible my copy of CM10 was a bad download. Either way, it's working now, so thank you good sir, or madam, or person on no specific gender.
