[Q] Rom Manager

Does ROM Manager for for the Acer Tablet to flash Clockwork?

Rom manager does not work with acer.
Go to market and get acer recovery and install it. Boot into recovery and install thors cwm from the boot menu. Then you can backup your system and flash different roms.

CWM Recover 1.3.4 Do I need to update?

I purchased Acer Recovery 2.60 and use the 1.3.4 Recovery for backing up and flashing ROMs. IS there a need to upgrade to 1.7 CWM and will it work with Acer Recovery?

I don't use the CW recovery, but I believe the newest version does work with the Acer Recovery Installer. I believe you need to name it recovery.img and place it on the root of your SD card and the installer can find it and make the switch.
As to if you need to switch or not: I don't know. If your current recovery works for you and the new one offers no features you need then you probably don't need to.

There is no good way to to so. Best bet is a custom rom. I use TEGRAOWNERS. YOU PROBLEM IS THAT BY USING THE OTA UPDATE. YOUr BOOTLOADER changed to the new ics bootloader. Now you cant revert back to HC with out flashing your bootloader too which can be a major pain. Just load thors custom cwm revovery 1.7.3 and tegraowners ics v170

how to get CWM for Ideapad k1

I've seen some roms posting about cwm but I don't have it. I am rooted running khanning's AOSP rom but i wan to flash the cm10 port. When I go into rom manager it recognizes my ideapad as a Transformer so I can't flash clockworkmod recovery there. Is there another place to download it?

If you're using khanning's AOSP rooted rom you already have cwm recovery.
Read 1st post on that thread and he has explained how to get to cwm recovery.
Don't install any other cwm recovery unless you know and are sure about what you're doing. You might brick your device.

install cwm recovery image for IdeaPad K1

I think you need to nvflash to install cwm recovery image first, then use khanning's AOSP CMW Rom.
the link posted by khanning for K1_CWM_120109_Rooted_nvflash_R2.zip is no longer working. does anyone have a refresh link?

From a terminal session:

The K1 will will reboot in recovery with CWM running.

[Q] Can't access CWM - Can't boot

Hey guys,
I am really going crazy with my A500 and I really need help!
I tried to Update my Taboonay to the newest Flexreaper Edition. In the desciption it said that I need to have one of that custom recoverys to use Aroma installer. Because I had CWM with Thor 1.3.4 and 1.7.3 is neccessary I wanted to Update CWM via installing the zip from SD Card. Before installing the zip I accedientially deleted the update.zip from the SD Card. Tried to restart CWM than but it didn't work out and I could not enter CWM. I was stuck on booting recovery kernel image, waited about a minute and than the screen turned dark. Since that point the tablet doesn't start anymore and the tablet does not enter CWM.. What can I do to fix it?
I summarize:
- can't enter CWM
- cant boot the ROM
- deleted update.zip
Thank you in advance

I would guess, you are still running an HC bootloader? You must update your tab to the V8 unlocked bootloader from Skrilax_cz.
