[REF] HowTo Install a Custom ROM on Liquid

New(bie) here ?
You just have received your liquid, and would like to install a custom rom, but don't know where to begin ? This is for you.
(Note : Mostly inspired from the LCR's wiki page : http://code.google.com/p/acer-liqui...cker/wiki/HowToRootAndFlashLiquidCommunityROM)
Tools Needed :
- Acer Liquid drivers : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E5PTHL3O
- Acer Flash Tool : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EF2QNANO
- SuperBoot : http://acer-liquid-community-rom-bugtracker.googlecode.com/files/Superboot.zip
Extract all in separates folders.
1. Install an official BIN
The first thing to do, is to get the latest official 2.1 bin for Liquid. Well, it's not really official as they are leaked bin for the moment, and not yet available on the Acer's website.
Acer_LiquidE_1.100.05_EMEA_GEN1 --> European Version.
Alternatives mirrors : LCR's wiki page
Acer_LiquidE_1.100.15_AAP_FET --> Only contain English + Asiat langs.
Once your bin downloaded :
1) Unpack the drivers.
If you have a 32-Bit version of Windows, go to the folder x86, if you have a 64-Bit version, go to the x64 folder.
Then run the setup.exe and follow the instructions.
2) Unpack the Acer A1 Tool.

}
Important : under windows Vista / 7 : choose Windows XP compatibility mode and "run as administrator"
Run the ACER Download Tool. Click "Browse" and select the downloaded ACER_LiquidE...bin. Attach your Acer Liquid and press Start. It should start flashing the stock Éclair image.
Don't interrupt this process!! In case of communication error during flash process. You can unplug and replug usb, don't power off the phone.
You now have a standard 2.1 rom. But, even if you just want to run the stock rom without a custom rom beside, you should install a recovery software, in case of problems.
A custom recovery is program software which will help you install customs roms, root your roms, backup and restore a rom, etc... This is the start point to custom Liquid rom.
2. Install a Custom Recovery Image
1.) To do this, go here : http://code.google.com/p/acer-liquid-malez-recovery/ and download malezRecovery_0.5.3.img (or newer version if there is one off course).
2.) Put this image in your extracted Superboot folder, delete the old recovery.img in it, and rename malezRecovery_0.5.3.img to recovery.img
3.) Enable USB Debug in your phone --> Settings --> Applications --> USB Debug.
4.) Run install-recovery-windows.bat to install the recovery.
You should see something like this : sending 'recovery' (4876 KB)... OKAY writing 'recovery'... OKAY
5. After the flash, your phone should reboot.
6. To enter the recovery, use reboot-recovery.bat
To know more information about it,go to the malezRecovery project page.
3. Install a Custom ROM
1. To install a custom rom, just download the zip file, put it on your sd, then reboot on recovery (You can download QuickBoot from the market to reboot in recovery easily, but your rom have to be rooted).
2. Chosse Wipe Data (This will do a factory reset, please backup before if you need it).
3. Navigate to "flash/test menu" / "apply any .zip from SD" and push the menu key, and then choose the ROM and press menu again. Press home to start flashing
4. Wait for the installation to finish.
5. Reboot
6. You're done

please help my.am. I followed all the steps to install-recovery-windows.dupa I did that, could not turn on the phone, nor can it bring en recovery mode

Thanks alot
it really helped......

Thx.. it's very usefully..

Dont understand this part, the reboot to recovery.bat or reboot-recovery-windows.bat (in Superboot folder) wont let me in the recovery mode to browse for the zip file in the SD card, actually those files wont execute
There is nothing like "Wipe Data" as you said

Ok that's fine now, I need to move the newest img file to superboot folder instead of using the exe tool provided here
http://code.google.com/p/acer-liqui...tail?name=installMalezRecovery_0.5.4_FULL.exe

OK, so from now on everytime I want to install a custom ROM, the first thing I need to do is flashing the OFFICIAL Acer Rom again and then following step 2 and 3?

No, from now you can just flash the .zip without reflashing the bin each time.
Some roms are based on a certain BIN version, so it's better to flash the bin they advise to get the rom working as it should.
If you already have the bin version advised, you don't need to flash the bin again, maybe a "Wipe data" before flashing the new zip is all needed

yes, but now I can not access the Recovery mode anymore, when I double click the reboot-recovery-windows.bat (superboot) or reboot to recovery.bat (Malez), the phone restarts with Acer logo and then a black screen, sometimes Acer logo without back-light, and I have to remove the battery to restart again

Go to the Market and download an app called Quickboot. It allows you to reboot into Recovery without a computer.
If that does not work:
-Make sure there is no file named "update.zip" on your SD Card
-Remove and replace battery
-Hold down Power+Volume Down+Camera. Phone should vibrate 3-4 times
-Hold down Power+Camera
-Phone will reboot into Recovery

I have the same sort of problem. Rooted with recovery and installed a new ROM but then in reboot i get the splash page but then just a black screen. Tried a couple of ROM's but all the same result?
Just really want to get my CUS2 Donut version up to eclair....
Please help!
[update]
Ok, so i finally understand what went wrong. The acer support section wasn't that clear for me. Now just grabbed the 2.1 CUS2 bin from the liquid e section and that solved the problem! Now running eclair with Malez Recovery and ready for some custom ROM's
[update 2]
So i also found out that i can forget the CUS2 bin story. That's only when using official acer updates. With the ACER Download Tool [Single] i've now managed to install the leaked alpha version of froyo!

htc desire user.......
Hi
I m htc desire user n my friend is buying liquid e ferrari edition but he want me to get sense rom on it he doesnt like d stock acer eclair rom,
So is it possible to install cooked SENSE roms on this phone ??

You're welcome mate!

One thing to keep in mind if you follow the PRFcreator tool route is that before you flash your device with your pre-rooted image, is that to go into system - Apps and then check for any apps that you have moved to your SD card. Move any apps that you have on the SD card back to Phone Memory before you boot to recovery and start flashing your phone. Once you done, you can move them back if you want to, to free up phone memory.
Don't worry, you have not lost your apps, only downside is when you scroll through all your pages and you see all those "app missing" icons, you have that WTF? moment
The reason for this is that after the upgrade, it doesn't see the apps any more when looking at your apps pages as if the SD card is missing. If you go to System - Apps and looking at all your installed apps, you will see they are still then. To fix the issue, simply move them back to phone memory.
...hope my explanation makes sense.

Flash the .232 through flashtool then update using zip file and make sure you added the correct SuperSU file and the correct recoveyr and make sure to include Kernel , FOTAkernel , Modem , LTAlabel ,,, then try again

Thats it!
With the .232 it works.
After the .264 reboots, i had to install supersu again, without updating it. supersu works fine know and i have finally my 5.1.1. wit root - yes!
Thanks alot!

You are welcome!! I'm glad it's working for all of you

guys, I just went back to 4.4, rooted, then used the recovery to install the 264 zip file, the same message of cillow's appeared to me:
"Root Access is missing/broken. Roo [..%] Time
- No
- Yes - Aplly root (/system/xbin/su)
- No"
When I rebooted the phone was without superUS and when I installed it it said that I didn't have root oO
Anyone knows what happened/what can be used to fix it?
Thanks!

Before installing the XZDR on 4.4 copy/upload the prerooted zip on your phone. After you install the XZDR the phone will reboot; now you can proceed to install the prerooted zip, it will include SuperSU and recovery. The phone reboots to recovery so you can install the SuperSU .zip, but there is no need for that. All we need to install a prerooted .zip is the recovery. SuperSU will be after restarting the phone on the new software.

I did that, like, downgrade > root > install recovery > boot on recovery > install prerooted .264. BUT after restarting, superSU wasn't there and not even the recovery. As I said, before I boot after installed the 264, it showed me the message about root.
Thanks!

prerooted zip wasn't build correctly.

Just made it, but went downgrade > root > install recovery > boot on recovery > install prerooted .232 > install prerooted .264 and it worked. I used the prerooted zip file that is avaible at the begnning of the topic, didnt made it myself. Thanks anyway =)

P8 Lite softbricked.

Hi All, I tried to root my p8 lite manually By following this method:
1) Unlocked Bootlocker.
2) flashed the custom recovery image to install the root binary files With this the screen turned completely black)
3)typed ''adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /su.zip''
4)typed ''adb shell /sbin/recovery –update_package=/su.zip''
5) used ''fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img''
After pushing SuperSU update, my phone turned on once. I tried to enable debug mode but it was greyed out.
Then I checked the root status and rootchecker said: ''Not properly rooted''. I still installed superSU and tried to update binary,but update failed and I had to reboot the phone. Since that time, the phone doesn't turn on. It keeps restarting for 2 or three times and then stops at black screen. I flashed cwm.img using fastboot and tried to solve the problem with ADB sideload but it didn't work.
I downloaded different Upgrades for my software and tried to Install them by placing thrm in dload of memory card,but that didn't work as well.
I have tried Most Of the methods available to solve this issue but Failed. I am in need of serious help here.

Ok, so you wanna be on marshmallow of course...
First of all... you have to update to the latest build B564 to do this you have to have the original recovery (NO TWRP)
then if you're on b564 install twrp and flash zip 1 first with twrp
reboot and then flash zip 2
you should be rooted
You can copy the eu.chainfir.supersu-1 folder from data/app
to system/app if you like (rwx r-x r-x permissions)
and reboot again.
If you want the original recovery file tell me the build number that you're on and i will give you a link to the file.

Here are the details of my phone.
And also how am I supposed to upgrade my phone?
My phone's USB debugging option is still greyed out and can't be enabled.
I didn't use TWRP, I had CWM recovery but it was gone when I tried to unbrick my phone by downgrading.
Now when I press power button while holding vol up and vol down, there appears a setup saying Huawei software upgrading( This process reaches up to 90% and then stucks ).

this is because your phone was branded before you flashed (carrier lock. no big deal) where getting there
so the steps you need to do are simpel
this will cause a factory reset!!!
remember the flash zip i send you? it contains a file named cust.img
copy that one to your sd card or internal storage in a new folder that you name dload and rename the file to UPDATE.APP
(make sure it DOESN'T got the .img file extensions)
go to settings -> updater and press the menu button (at the bottom) then select "local update"
then select UPDATE.APP and wait until it finish and reboot
after taht it should say c432B056 and you can proceed to update.
MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE ROOT OR TWRP ISNTALLED.

I have TWRP right now so first I'll flash the recovery.img and then copy the cust file. Right?

which version are you on? i would recommend going to marshmallow first (b564)
if your stuck at b194 download b560 from here
and unzip it put it in your sd card in a folder named dload and do a local update.
after that you upgrade to the latest version (b564)
than you take the twrp zip and extract it on your pc
make sure your phone has usbdebugging enabled
connect your phone and grant your pc acces.
press the install file in the twrp folder and let it do it's thing.
copy zip 1 and zip2 to your sd card
boot into twrp (power device off and power it on while holding volume up and down pressed at the same time)
ignore the first message from twrp
choose install and go to your external sd card.
select zip1 and flash
reboot your phone.
after reboot power down your phone and boot into twrp again.
install zip 2
after that reboot and you're rooted
you can change the supersu app to your internal memory by getting a rootbrowser (es explorer)
go to /data/app
locate the eu.chainfire.supersu.1 folder
and place that into /system/app folder
give it the following permissions rwx r-x r-x (hold the folder until its selected then go to properties there you can change your permissions).

Quick Question
Actually I read here on XDA before, that the only way to root One UI is to patch the whole firmware using magisk, then flash it via ODIN. Since I can't download a large (over 2 gigs of) firmware, I was looking for a substitute.
After flashing TWRP as per your post above, would I be able to flash magisk via it amd root my M30? Would it be fine? Have anyone rooted their M30 with TWRP?
BTW, thanks @Akhil99

No matter what i do its still giving me error 7 in LEX727

Hello All
Its a never used LEX 727. Decided to flash a custom rom. Installed latest TWRP, but when i go to flash the rom got error 7.
Tried with diffrent roms but still error 7.
Then updated firmware to 30S by @codeworkx from here and again tried different roms but am still getting the error.
Following the suggestions given by various posters, I have tried doing full wipes, rebooting to recovery, using the ALL IN ONE tool but nothing is working.
I've also tried many older versions of TWRP as well as roms but nothing, the error is still there.
Any more suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you.

This is a typical error when TWRP is old or does not fit the model.
First, stay at 20s firmware:

You have to keep an eye on this:
- LEX720 (ZL1_CN)
- LEX722 (ZL0_CN)
- LEX727 (ZL1_NA)
Error 7 says the ROM’s updater script says the phone model of your phone is incompatible. A quick search for LineageOS give me this compatible on:
[ROM][OFFICIAL][TREBLE][X72X][11.0.X] LineageOS 18.1 for LeEco Le Pro3
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from...
forum.xda-developers.com
Make sure you have the latest TWRP installed for the X727:
Download TWRP for zl1
Download TWRP Open Recovery for zl1
eu.dl.twrp.me
Importand: If LineageOS aks to install it's own recovery, don't do it.
Important:
Install recovery, then reboot directly into recovery and install the rom. Original Firmware will revert back to stock recovery while boot! The you have to start over again.

Hello @Neppomuk_
Thanks.
1- I installed the 20S firmware
2- Installed the latest TWRP version 3.6.2_9-0-zl1 , and, rebooted to recovery.
3- Downloaded both the latest official LOS as well as the unofficial one by the poster whose link you have posted above. First tried installing the official rom and it gave error 1. Then tried flashing the unofficial one and same error. i.e.: "E1001: failed to update system image", Error 1.
4- I also tried installing the Mokee rom and it is also giving the same error. I downloaded the rom from their official site here
4- I am attaching screenshots of the errors. The first one is from the lineage "unoffical" after the "offical" had failed to install. The second one is from the failed Mokee rom.

Hopefully this is progress.
Error 1 is corrupted boot. You have the flash the stock boot.img with bootloader. I own a x720 so I can not provide you my one. It is possible to extract it from stock rom.
Check if you can find one here:

Actually i have had that error before while experimenting, so i'm afraid there has been no progress.
Are you asking to flash the stock boot image? And then what? Will appreciate if you outline the steps.

@Neppomuk_
1- Extracted stock boot image from the file you provided. Flashed it to boot successfully. Rebooted to recovery.
2- Went through the process of flashing the rom again. Still error 1.

OK, the E1001 from your screenshots is interesting. System image is (marked as) encrypted.
Do Following from twrp, all steps without reboot:
wipe/advanced wipe, tick 'Dalvilk/Art', 'Cache', 'Data' and 'System'
then go wipe/format data, confirm with yes, now the encryptiono (state) should be gone.
Now reboot straight back into recovery and flash the, this was mokee rom?, again.

Did it. Still error 1.
The first picture is LOS. The second one is Mokee.

Let's try following:
In TWRP go to Advanced, select File Manager, select the System folder from the list and the push the checkmark on the bottom right corner. No push the chmod 755 button the give full access to system partition.
Try to install custom rom.
A second try:
Go to wipe / Advanced wipe
select the system partition
now select 'repair or change file system' and then 'repair file system'.
Try to install custom rom.
I had problems with the 2nd try on some devices they do not allow repair of system partition.

Did the 1st option. Still error 1.
Did the 2nd option and the process was aborted or failed with error 4.

Did the 1st option. Still error 1.
Did the 2nd option and the process was aborted or failed with error 4.

Did you had any problem to flash TWRP on the device earlier?
With error 4 we have a second option:
In TWRP go to Wipe / Advance Wipe, select 'System' partition and select 'Repair or Change File System'.
Select 'Change File System', select EXT2 and proceed.
Then do the same to go back to EXT4.
Do the same with the Data partition.
Now, you have to transfer the custom rom to your phone again. But do it in bootloader mode this time.

OK, something special:
The LineageOS ROM has it's own boot.img inside. You can use this one as well, flash it in bootloader.

Not sure how to do this. As far as i know one can only flash images in boot loader mode. How does one flash a zip file in that mode?

Are you asking to flash the lineage boot.img in bootloader mode and then flash the entire rom by TWRP?

Do partial flash in bootloader mode, if not already happen, use Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
[TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot [2-9-18]
Introduction ADB and Fastboot are arguably two of the most indispensable tools used when working with Android devices. If you really want to modify, debug, and tweak along with their countless uses in rooting, and other procedures ADB and...
forum.xda-developers.com
Command to flash boot image in console:
fastboot flash boot [boot.img]
Then stay in bootloader mode. The mobild should mount a drive to the system. Copy the ROM imge to the internal storage on that drive. You can copy the rom in TWRP mode also. Then install the rom throug TWRP.
I never sideloaded data. I like to check the transfer is successfully finished. I had some faulty sd cards, wich do no give an error while sideloading stuff.
As an alternative you can use an OTG USb Stick and putt the stuff on this one. Would do the same and could be faster.
If you need drivers for Windows:
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.
developer.android.com
and the device specified one:
LeEco Le Pro3 USB Driver for Windows (Official Mobile Driver)
Download the official USB Driver for Windows Computer.
gsmusbdriver.com
-> I did not verify if this driver downloads are still valid, please check them first.

I do have the latest drivers and ADB installed. Everything i have been telling you has been done via ADB as well as from the internal storage of the phone.
But my question was, when you say :

Are you asking me to flash the boot.img using bootloader and then flash the rom from TWRP?
My question is i can flash the boot.img from TWRP, can't I? Anything wrong with that approach?

I think understand you now. Do a partial flash using boot loader and the do the rest using TWRP.
Thank you for clarifying. One needs confirmation so we do not do anything we aren't supposed to.

Sorry, I mixed up another case where I'm tring to remove forced data encryption.
There are flashable boot.img in zip files wich you can flash from TWRP, but this is not your one.
I still believe, that something is wrong with your boot partition.
The whole procedure:
- Extract boot.img from Lineagos and install it in bootloader mode: fastboot flash boot [boot.img]
- Boot into TWRP while holding Power and volume up.
- If not done, wipe cache and system, format data.
- Copy LineageOS to the drive / internal storage
- Use TWRP to install the rom

Yes, better one question to much than new problems...

Did as suggested. Still error 1.
I have another question while we continue to look at this. If worse comes to worse i've no choice but to use EUI. Is it possible to patch the latest android security patches to it? That is, rom will be EUI , but updated with all security patches?
