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.

YES .. YOU Can.
the acer recovery installer developer is a AWESOME GUY.WITH MUCH SUPPORT ABOVE AND Beyond.
OK, i did it.... CWM installed.
Now i have to read about the ROM's to see which is the best.
Which ICS ROM you suggest ?
I already did this with my HD2 but it is a little bit different....
Thanks
This is a humble requests on behalf of all the noobies!!
I request the seniors in this forum to post a thread on how to root, install recovery and other preliminary stuff. One thread that contains all the trivial info on flashing new roms would be very convenient.
Please explain it step by step for the new users. By doing so you can encourage more and more users to download and use the custom roms.

It is critically important that you specify your exact model. "Ideos X5 U8800" applies to three or four different devices. I turned one U8800-51 into a paperweight by not appreciating the differences.

Just so you know. CWM is not foolproof. I had one device that CWM was unable to rescue from the CWM recovery boot.
does rooting void warranty??
Hi..
I wanted to know if rooting voids the warranty provided by Huawei?? Also i want to install ics on my u8800 and i am a curious if there is a way to get back to the original pre-installed android froyo??
Sorry for the trouble but i am a new user here..
Thanks a lot
Rooting voids every warranty. Wether or not they catch you is your responsibility:silly:

Thanx a tonn..
I was wondering if u cud tell me or redirect me to the rooting process. I wish to use ICS but my 800 Mhz processor wont allow me to
While we are at it, new users should know that there are multiple versions of the Ideos X5 U8800. These include, but are not limited to:
U8800
U8800pro
U8800-51
There may be others. All MODs are model specific!
The exact model number is obtained through settings -> About phone. Please include the model number in all posts.
Well after spending a lot of time on this phone I managed to get full root access
Instructions :
Download Kingo (Search good due I can't post any link.)
Install and run kingo.
Now just connect your phone in debugging mode at your pc.(How to find debug more? Look the pictures below!)
Press "ROOT" on the Kingo program and let it until it says "Root was successfully"
After that just see a small tune you can do to your mediatek processor!
You're done,now your have full root access!! Have fun!!
(AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK DOWN YOUR PHONE!MAKE IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!!)
Sounds good! Someone else has tested? :cyclops:
Am working on the source code of the kernel stand by! And if any moderator can create a section for Xperia E4 would be great for the new user of this phone!

Don't worry! I suggest a light 4.4.4 neither the Lolipop 5.X.X because it has a lot of bugs!!

I created a poll for the Xperia E4 users or now called "admins" choose what ROM they want!
I am trying on the 4.4.4 right now, for a light version of it!! Any help would be grateful!! :highfive:
my first question is: Somehow, please solve it to work for link2sd. It would be very good!
ps.: Second question is: Please kill the system notifications! (New update relased, energy tips etc...)

Can you add usb otg drivers?
I *think* I understand the process for getting TWRP, but tracking down the files in the long threads has been hard. All the links I found for jasminetool are dead.
Any chance of a getting the links for everything I need, and even a quick guide if possible? Happy to write a guide myself with the compiled files after I do it (assuming there isn't one already).
Love the XDA community for making a device like this relevant again!
