I'm having trouble flashing the stock rom vache has provided on the dev forum. (SD_Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1.zip).
Downloaded fine, used the decrypt tool with key $12, Clear/wipe/format everything, and try to install with CWM.
Problem install aborts.
Can anyone help? I am assuming either the download is incorrect/incomplete, or the decrypt hasn't worked? Has anyone been successful with this rom?

Did you download an official acer rom from vaches thread
is it a full rom or just an incremental update - better check!
yes it could be a bad d/l - where did u get it
If it didnt decrypt you can check by trying to open it in windows. You wont be able to 'open' (not extract....) the zip if it is still decrypted
did u extract the actual "update.zip" and flash that?
make sure the you havent named it "update.zip.zip"
how did u try and install with cwm
if u use flash zip choice u dont have to rename it to update.zip
u do if u pick flash update.zip
What rom are u currently running??
Many thanks for the help, it was me being a noob and not extracting the update.zip file.
thanks again
Hi members.
As the title says i created a flashable zip. I am a little late, but haven't found any time before to create the zip.
I did flash the zip myself. I did a dirty flash to keep my data and still all is working fine.
Maybe anybody still needs this.
Flashing this you will get:
Stock C6903, 14.6.A.1.236, Customized DE 1277-0154 R2D
SuperSU 2.46
XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 for LB with patch to mount system partition
Xposed installer 3.0 alpha 4, xposed framework v79-sdk-22-arm
Everybody who is downloading the zip should know what he has to do!
Please use twrp as custom recovery to avoid errors.
You should do a backup of you current configuration for safety.
To flash this you have to boot your custom recovery, format system, cache and dalvik.
Format your data only if you want a clean flash, otherwise leave data untouched for a dirty flash.
After that flash the zip and reboot.
Wait a while because first boot takes some time.
It would be helpfull if anybody who has downloaded and flashed the zip could confirm that it is working or not.

Thanks for the share. After a really long boot animation it is now booting up and seems to work fine.
Cheers!
Excellent thanks. Totally forgot to wipe anything before flashing but booted up with no problems into .236 and root, recovery and cwm all working 100%
Hey,
thanks for the share. I have a 6906.
Do you think if I flash this, it would work? Id rather not flash a new firmware as I don't want to lose anything.
Thanks,

Hello devs,
please can somebody discribe how to modify the original update image, that we can install the image with TWRP without overwriting the TWRP recovery , fastboot a.s.o.
That would be great.
You can use a Archive Software like (7zip) to replace files in your update.zip . I didn't try it so no idea if it works.
I know, with 7zip we can open the files, but the point is, how to modify the update script that the recovery will not be overwritten a.s.o.

If all you are worried about is overwriting TWRP then just flash TWRP in TWRP before you reboot
Hi guys, am new here and to the whole custom rom thing too. I found this page by anand more on installing a custom rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-2/how-to/ultimate-guide-redmi-2-users-rooting-to-t3294212
The problem is after making stock recovery when i follow this step..tap on recovery image and by "Choose the file" menu locate the .img file you want to flash.. i cannot locate any .img files anywhere. Tried to install a recovery.img file online and flashify could not detect that either. Please help me on how to proceed and if there is a post with newer/simpler way to do this please provide the link.
I more or less understand what a KDZ is, and how to flash it with LGUP. I also sorta understand that a TWRP flashable .zip file is basically just an archive of a bunch of .img files that TWRP (magically) knows where to flash to on the device. So I can get a KDZ for the stock ROM from LG, or I can get a .zip of a custom ROM such as LineageOS. However I've also seen .zips of stock ROMs such as in this thread by dudeawsome.
What I want to know is, is there a way to convert an official KDZ to a .zip file that TWRP can flash? I'm assuming that is what's done to make a stock ROM available in a convenient .zip format for use in TWRP, but I'd like to know the details of the process. The closest I've found is something called KDZZ by weakNPCdotCom, but it appears that it no longer works and is discontinued.
I want to be able to take any official KDZ and convert it to a TWRP-friendly zip. I also want to remove the laf and recovery images as well since I don't want TWRP overwritten. Can anyone give me the lowdown on this?
