[PROBLEM] Regarding CWM recovery for MB526.

I really wanna install ICS 4.0.4 on my Defy+.
So I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100
My Defy is rooted.
I installed CWM's ROM Manager.
I installed 2ndInit.
Now I know (correct me if I'm wrong) that we should place the zip files onto the SD card. --> Then, open CWM's ROM Manager --> Flash recovery --> [checks something on d internet and displays a bunch of devices. Defy is one of them] So I click on "Defy" ---> It tells me that CWM's recovery is not yet supported by Defy. ---> If i continue, it says "Have you previously installed custom recovery?" and then asks for the version. ---> still if I continue and start phone in recovery mode, It doesn't go in recovery mode. I just see a yellow exclamation mark in a white triangle with the android bot standing beside it.
What seems to be the problem ?
What should I do to install the ICS 4.0.4 on my device ?
Please help. Because I'm still a n00b.
I tried ignoring CWM's recovery and rebooted my device with 2ndInit's Custom Recovery mode and tried the steps in the (above) mentioned thread.
This results in a BootLoader 9.10 error: 1F, A3, etc. on reboot. So I had to flash the (rooted)stock sbf again.
I did it for 4-5 times. I feel like crying now.
Please help.

Update on the request
should i flash cm7.2 first and then upgrade to cm9 (ICS 4.0.4) ?
Please help guys.. please..

If you see that robot, press both the volume up and down keys at the same time, then you should be in the recovery menu.

Maybe you could try another version of bootmenu? If I remember correctly, you can choose, which one you want if you go into the 2ndInit app.

To get back to stock you'll need to run an official a501 EUU - theres a thread in the dev forum by blackthund3r with a list of official Acer Roms -
you need an "EUU" AND I hope you have saved your cpuid from using afterOTA - you can't do anything now without it

I have download a full rom A501 first and install thats work great after booting up it wont start and give the error.

Well, that is good news, you're halfway there
This tutorial will give you some background on rooting and installing CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35500631#post35500631
But now you have the v8 and access to fastboot the first thing you should do is to hook your usb cable to your pc and run a command prompt from the fastboot folder (if you need help with doing that have a look in the cpuid guide linked in my sig). You want to wipe /data and /cache and then immediately flash an ICS custom rom...civato has a thread with official acer stock roms that will run on the v8 or you can choose a full custom one.
You should already have a custom recovery on your tab, if not, use fastboot to flash one after you did your wipes...then boot to it and flash your rom not an update.zip

i have hook the usb cable but i cant write somthing on the cmd
its noet working, i want to install CWM this was verry easy to use.
I dont now why its verry difficult to root and install a custom firmware on a Acer Iconia A500.
I have olso a Samsung galaxy tab, this was veryy easy to use after 3 minutes it was rooted and installed the CWM.

@ cebbes
Go to cpuid guide in my sig
You'll need the drivers installed correctly, there's a section showing how to do that....you'll need to flash the v8 bootloader to get cwm...its all in the guide

First to thanks to dibb_nz, civato, Moscow Desire & Heisenberg.
I have installed Skrilax CZ bootloader V8 on my TAB ( after six month trying )
Then Installed: CWM recovery v5.5 thor2002ro rev.1.7.3
showing: kernel 3.1.10-digetx-thor-4.4micro
Bootloader: 0.03.14-MUL
Active boot partition 1st boot partition set as default.
Not running HC bootloader, itsmagic not needed.
As per your instruction on (Skrilax CZ bootloader V8) wipes all the /data and /cache using fastboot method then reboot and after going to CWM recovery flashed Civato official acer Rom Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633907.
But again my Tab is stuck on Skrilax CZ bootloader V8 bootmenu.
now help me what to do.

Bricked Zuk Z1

Hello,
Ok, here is the situation
I have a Zuk Z1 with last COS update 12.1 with locked bootloader, no root etc ... (I didn't touch anything).
Yesterday, it reboot by itself but I got bootloop (starting apps then again lenovo boot image ...)
I try to factory reset by using the recovery metohd, it's start normally (optimizing apps ...) but then reboot and again bootloop ...
So I try to sideload the official COS ROM from Cyanogen Support (cm-12.1-YOG4PAS9IG-ham-signed-d4fc2c5394.zip), but the sideload stuck at 47% and saying total xfer: 1.00x and the phone go back to recovery but still have boot loop ...
I try to boot in fastboot and use the All In One tool to flash official ROM but didn't work (Its say that the bootloader is lock)
I find without knowing this menu a debugging hardware tool test, and then I run the test, its say SD : Fail and in another I got SD : Fail and no sd fuse in dir
I saw many thread here and on google, and some say that we have to use qfil/qpst method, and find this which seems complete : http://www.androidbrick.com/lenovo-zuk-phones-qfil-roms-unbrick-guide/
But as I don't know if its hardware issue or soft brick ...
Could someone help me to recover my phone to COS or CM by using the right method ?
Thank you !

Go with qpst/qfil method to recover your phone
And did you tried changing the USB port or cable while side loading cos ROM .. Cause most of issues are solved by the changing USB port or cable.. So try this.. Or else qfil is the option

Hello,
I got help on the telegram group, we try many thing, the result is that I can only get ZUI working, if flashing COS via QFIL, I get the same result, if I flash ZUI, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, wipe everything, then sideload CM13, TWRP say that no os is installed and I get a bootloop at the bootloader ...
ZUI is good, but I get some error regarding notification.
If you have any other idea ?

Asus Zenfone Max (ZC550KL, Z010D), Android M, Unable To Unlock Bootloader

Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.
Long story short:
Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked
Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)
Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)
Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"
Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1
Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"
Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.
I'm really tired
P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.

Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.
I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .
I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.

OnePlus5 soft brick?! Bootloader fine but TWRP not working, can't sideload ..

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this problem ..
Background:
- Was running Oxygen OS and went to update it to the new beta, booted into TWRP, flashed the file and rebooted - nothing happened, black screen with a constantly lit blue LED.
- Back into recovery but it didn't ask me for a pattern so it no longer recognised the encrypted partitions.
- Ah well, erased everything a few times and booted back into recovery to flash a new ROM, TWRP loads but no longer responds on the touchscreen, it's stuck at the "swipe to allow modifications to system partition" screen
- booted into fastboot, reflashed TWRP, same deal, Tried all 3 available versions but no difference. Also tried the clockworx build.
- flashed stock recovery and tried to sideload the rom but the first time it bombed out at 48% or so, now it just stops with "Xfer 0.0%" ..
- Saw this thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/unbrick-tool-oneplus-5-t3648169 and downloaded it but the MSM tool does not recognise any connected device even though I have "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 COM23" in the device manager
I'm going pretty nuts now so any tips appreciated :/
Cheers
K

Right - quick update - managed to get it re-flashed using the MSM Downloader tool after a lot of trial and error .. if anyone has any questions about the process just let me know!

on my phone TWRP shows no files on in any folder. can you pls help?

Hi! I believe that I am in the same boat as you were. On short: was rooted & wanted to stock. Flashed stock recovery & last OS from oneplus site and got stuck in boot. Afterwards I was no longer able to see my device in the stock recovery adb install....
Can you give me a hand please! Thank you!
Edit: Got it to work with the qualcomm method

Hello,
You should install Hydrogen OS to unbrick your phone.
After that install TWRP and then install the full rom OOS 5.0.4.
