no problem.. if you follow the links to x8 toolbox you can root and install both xrecovery and clockworkmod recovery from there, you just run it on your pc. Then you can install any rom you like from the devs forum. follow the instructions detailed on each rom's page.
Once you get xrecovery installed do a complete backup from xrecovery. you can restore your phone from this if you mess things up..

sure no worries or drop me a PM, if i'm online i'll help. plug your phone into pc with USB Debugging enabled under settings menu on phone. just run the x8toolbox.cmd from your pc. follow the keypress steps to root then install the recoverys.

[Q] Installing ClockworkMod Recovery, custom rom - PROBLEM

Hi to ALL.
I was reading TUTORIAL for flashing Custum ROM and i'm facing my firs problem.
I did ROOT my A500 and i wanted to install CWM and it said:
Code:
Open Market app with your tablet and search for Acer Recovery Installer.
I found it on Laptop google play but it says that:
Code:
This app is incompatible with all of your devices.
Please if somebody can help me how to proceed.
I was also reading THIS but i really don't understand that installation instructions if somebody can clarify it for me
Thank you

Go to the themes and apps section and there's a download link for the recovery installer APK.

About the first sticky in the Dev forum. Please post any issues, questions, in that thread (or PM the guy above ^^^^^^^^)
Seriously, just post them in that thread, don't create a new one please.
1. Install Unlocked Bootloader and CWM
2. Install Superuser (sometimes included in bootloader app along with BB)
3. Flash Install one of the modded or OC kernels.
Life is good.
Read the stickies, and the guides, that's why we post them there.

Read, read more and search, that's what the search function is for.
Use framaroot to root you phone. There are a variety of ROMs in the development section. Try them.

I installed the Slimbean ROM on my phone and when I rebooted it, I got a blue screen and the screen went all weird now. How do I fix my phone?

i think the rom is not good, try again, wipe everything and flash it , after reboot

It worked, thank you. I installed the wrong ROM on my phone but I've installed the right one now. What is a kernel and do I need it?

the rom contains the kernel
kernel = the conection between hardware and software

Do I need to install one?

you already have one installed so the answer is no

Okay. Thank you very much for all the help. Can you recommend me a ROM I should install? I am currently running Slimbean 2.1 but it doesn't suit me quite well.
