[Q] How is install CWM ?

I have ICS Unlocked bootloader V8 with root on my A500.
Build Number
Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1
Image version
Acer_AV041_A500_RV06RC01_WW_CUS1
Android version 4.0.3
kernel 2.6.39
I would like to install new CM10.1 JellyBean 4.2.1 or other.
Is it somewhere instruction how I can do it?
Where need to copy new image? Is it root directory? .Acer? or where?
Is it need copy zip file cm-10.1-20130105-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip? or just image file?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael, u should already have cwm it comes with the v8 bootloader...
What happens if u power your tab on with volume down button held in?

Hi dibb_nz,
I see boot loader menu.
If I push cm-...-a500.zip file to external sdcard and go to Boot Recovery
It just reboot.
Thanks,
Michael

do you mean skrilax v8 Fastboot Menu??? This is accessed by holding volume UP and Power
IF and only IF, you have the fastboot menu you can choose to enter fastboot mode, and connect your tab to your pc
Download the recovery image at the bottom of this post and put it in the same folder with fastboot.exe/adb.exe:
Run the following commands
Code:
fastboot devices
it should return a ?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_CWM.img
should say Done
Code:
fastboot reboot
quickly hold in the volume down button while it reboots - if you time it right it should boot to cwm...otherwise just power it down then try again
Please note again this is only possible with the unlocked bootloader

Yes. I did install Skrilax V8 unl bootloader with menu:
fastboot, boot Pr.., boot Sec... , Boot Recovery, Set... Wipe Cache
I use ADB from Android SDK platform-tools.
Never use fastboot.exe from it. I see it.
I will try.

Must I unlock bootloader to install CWM?

Yes to get cwm or any other custom recovery the bootloader has to be unlocked first.
You have the unlocked v8 bootloader but not a recovery i don't know why you don't have one?? I'm confused!!
To get cwm now you can reflash the v8/cwm package
Or use fastboot method...
Hope that explains things better!

I used
V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm
and
APX_v0.4A-flashTool-500Manager1.0.2
I don't remember which one was finally.
Now I used fastboot flash recovery with your recovery_CWM.img.
Thanks it was work.
I did install
gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip and
cm-10.1-20130105-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip
It was success.
But I have CyanogenMod logo loop
I can't enter
What I did wrong?
Can I fix it?
Thanks,
Michael

I did it.
After factory reset and install it again.
It is working now.
Thanks everyone,
Michael

Are you in the right directory where adb and fastboot are located?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Hold the power button first to turn it off. Then, hold vol +, - and power., Boot into bootloader and select recovery. This method is only for Ubuntu that has been flashed using recovery. If you boot Ubuntu using fastboot or the images, I don't know.

Bricked after trying to install cwm

Hi guys!
After i've installed CWM for my LG F320 i got stucked on a blackscreen just after the LG logo, i have no recovery no download mode no fastboot and when i plug my phone on the computer i got nothing at all, is it over?

when turning it on hold volume down and power button at the same time. Then when the LG logo comes up let go and hold them down again and press the power key twice to get into the recovery or maybe it will boot up normally.

Hey thanks for the reply, i tried your trick it doesn't work then i followed the fix with ubuntu, after that no more black screen I'm now stuck on the LG logo all the time .
Help !!

If you can enter download mode, try flashing appropriate kdz file to your phone.

You can also try to install pdanet and check with that. Select the device and proceed. Once the drivers are installed .. Try flashing the stock... Lemme know of this works

If you successfully transferred the correct recovery image using dd commands you should be able to boot into recovery. Have you tried booting into recovery after dd command? I did not even push the other files listed in guide, all I pushed was recovery image and it booted like a charm. Keep in mind I do own the VS980 variant, although it should be the same process just different image files.

So i did use the dd command on it, and transfered the openrecovery twrp for f320s but it just cannot boot on it with vol down and power

Well to enter the recovery you supposed to hold down Vol+ & Power until LG logo appears, release both, and then immediately press&hold those two buttons again.
Can you get your device in adb mode?

PDANET is the key
Did u try using the pdanet? I was exactly in the same situation as u are. No matter if the lg drivers are installed.... The pc won't recognize the phone as ADB.EXE had stopped working. Here is what I did:
1) install pdanet.
2) it asked me to select the device and then it installed the drivers.
4) with this hopefully the ADB.EXE should start in your device manager. In my case it did.
5) go to google adb bundle folder.
6) go to SDK>platform tools> and paste your CM and gapps there.
7) try bridging the connection by going into the command prompt > and CD into the platform tools directory.
8) in the cmd put the command 'amd push "CM NAME" /sdcard/' and hit enter
9) this should push the file onto the phone... Do the same for gapps... And install it from the TWRP.
10) ALL THE BEST

You can also use adb sideload to flash the ROM. Install kouch universal adb drivers and download minimal adb and fastboot both can be downloaded from a Google search. Then on your phone go to twrp advanced and adb sideload. Then put the ROM.zip folder in the minimal adb and fastboot folder. Then hold shift right click and press run command line here. Type "adb devices" if it finds your device then use this command "adb sideload *ROMNAME.ZIP*. Replace * and ROM name with the proper name of your zip file.

Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL stuck a boot screen

My new Zenfone 2 Laser, purchased 4 months ago and having stock ROM and recovery is stuck at ASUS logo screen/ boot screen.
The phone is not even booting to recovery mode (power + volume down). Though in fastboot mode (power + volume up) I could erase cache but after rebooting its again the same logo screen.
Has anyone experience the same issue?

Hello yes I had this problem and you have to install a recovery with fastboot cause even if the screen doesn't show fastboot mode i think your device is recognized by fastboot. After you could access recovery. And i restarted my phone by the cmd "fastboot boot boot.img" but when i have to do it always when i power off my phone so i not resolved all the problem

What version do you use? I tried official or unofficial rom, it does not work.
I got bootloop even I tried "fastboot boot boot.img or fastboot flash boot boot.img".

Flash stock ROM via Side load ADB in fastboot mode.Search google or XDA u will get info how to flash stock ROM in fastboot mode.
U need to download full ROM ( or fastboot ROM) of ur device !

I'm currently facing the same problem...and though the phone goes into fastboot, and the PC device manager detects the phone as ADB Android device (even when the phone is simply attached without pressing anything or the power key), cmd ADB doesn't detect the phone, cos USB debug mode is turned off after a wipe and a new installation...even if the installation goes sideways, like this situation....so pls someoone come with a better response.
