the chinese rom and checksum error are supposed to happen.
the chines rom is an old unstable version but is provided so we can root it to install cwm and flash a working rom.
after the checksum error you needed to power off and then using the buttons enter recovery mode and go to 'Fix checksum error' in advanced menu - after that reboot.
you should do the following:
a)go back and read the entire post on what to do because you missed the last part
or
b)try the backdoor method
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
just read your entire post again...there's alot going on there isnt there?
have you tried flashing the update.zip again with 3.0.1 on it...get back to the chinese rom, from there install iconia root and root it. Then install cwm and you should be all good - if that doesnt work then use timmyDeans backdoor method it does it for you, all you need to do is install acer recovery installer to install cwm, backup the original stock recovery when the app asks you, you will need it to OTA Update successfully...

Doesn't flashing stock rom remove cwm?

yeh i just had trouble when i OTA'd last nite on the 2nd update, had to flash stock before it would install, but i may have restored the wrong one from acer recovery installer beforehand...a definite possibility!!!

by flashing from method 1 my racovery mode came back again and i can recover only from update.zip
but when i want to install Extract_unBrick_UPDATE it stop at 30% and my tab goes to turn off and when i press power button it turnnig on and turn off very soon and can not boot
I test non stable rom and flash with this rom proccess goes to 90% and stop
what can i do now? this is my tablet screen

V3 which I pointed you to is STOCK 3.2.1 with root. Once you get there you will be stable. If you want CWM then you will have to install it. It is NOT in the flash because the flash is stock ONLY with root. But since you have root, you can install CWM.
The serial number does NOT need to be saved in any file. Just follow the instructions.

Ok, now just download the stock image for your country and put it on your external sdcard. Use the power and volume + key which will launch stock recovery (which you now have flashed) and it will flash your tablet with the one located on your sdcard. This will have you back stock.

what did you mean about power and volume + key?

You have a "volume" switch on top of your tab (long silver switch on left side)
You control volume from this. Vol+ make sound go up (the right side of it)
Press it on the left side, and volume goes quiet (vol-)
So, as he said, with the tablet OFF, hold the VOL+ side of the button, then select PWR (power)
You have 2 recovery modes.
1. CWM Recovery (vol- & Pwr) (after you have root and cwm installed)
2. Stock Acer recovery (vol+ & Pwr)
Step number 2 with the stock acer recovery, should install the stock rom you copied to your sd like TimmyDean said earlier.

Please rewrite what you are trying to do. I have no idea what you are talking about?
Are you asking about stock recovery and flashing form a SD Card? If so, copy update.zip to your SD card and then run recovery. If you have CWM, then use it to select the update from the SD Card.
It's not clearly as to exactly what you have loaded and what you are trying to do?
LASTLY: You cannot take a backup from CWM and have the stock recovery install it. Stock recovery will only install update.zip which must be signed by ACER.

Hello sir
in upper post u tell me i must go to recover mode by pressing power & vol+
but only i can go to stock recovery with pressing power & vol-(not vol+)
is there any other method for going to recovery mode by (vol+) ?
because Mr Moscow Desire said in his upper post (post no 14 of this thread)
if yes how ?
if not ..... just thank u

there is only one recovery on your device..
you should slowly repost your exact trouble.. then do EXACTLY as someone tell you to fix it..
There is only one recovery on your device . If YOU FLASH CWM RECOVERY .. it overrides the acer recovery.
so if you dont have cwm revovery .
nevermind repost your system rom you are using .. rather or not you know what recovery you have .. Then someone can help you...

I guess your volume keys are damaged.Go to the service center for repairing the phone.

you can try the following but make sure to have a backups as im not responsible for any data loss or phones blowing up
deodex your rom if its not already deodexed - you can find guides on this by searching
install samsung usb drivers on your pc
root your phone via your pc - you can try using this
now download root explorer via playstore
download system app installer via playstore
download quickpanelsettings.apk
download my status bar from http://d-h.st/k1H
unzip my statusbar and copy contents to sd
install quickpannelsettings.apk with system app installer
with the root browser copy lidroid-res.apk to system/framework
set permission of file to rw-r-r
with the root brower copy SystemUI-apk to system/app replacing the file currently there (you may get force closes now just carry on)
set perrmission of file to rw-r-r
now restart your phone
once restarted you should have a new status bar
pull down the status bar and swipe the toggle icons left and the last but one toggle is restart
press that and you will have the option to reboot into recovery mode (download mode doesnt work on galaxy y via this method)
This will only work on stock based roms
if you want to return to stock rom flash stock rom via odin
you can put your phone into download mode by using a usb jig if your buttons do not work
Its best to get your keys repaired if you can though

Dude its better u get it repaired. Coz even if you do enter recovery, u need volume keys to navigate.... Unless you have touch recovery.
But to install touch recovery too u need to enter normal one. So volume buttons are must !

good point - totally forgot about that!
you will need to get your phone repaired if you want to use recovery

Well, if you have damaged Volume keys then you will be able to go to recovery but you will not be able to navigate in menus.
You can use rebooter app from play store(free) or use adb shell reboot recovery.
But to use recovery you will have to get your volume keys repaired (there is not any touch recovery for sgy yet)
Sent from my GT-S5360 Gadget of Mass Destruction using xda-app
Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands

another Method
I had the same problem because on my Galaxy Y the Volume Up key is also broken. Repairing is no option because it is simply not worth the
money (no warranty left). Here is a solution:
First you have to disassemble the phone until you get to the Volume keys. (Only 4 screws to remove) Here you can test them if they are really
broken. If they are you have to remove them completely. This is no problem because they don't work and if you would like to repair these they
need to be exchanged. Don't do this if you have any warranty left, you will loose it!! They are only soldered with
two points and you can easily remove them by slightly moving them forth and back until they break. Now you can use the volume key with every
piece of metal just by touching the two solder points left on the phone.
Starting in reboot mode via ADB you can now use the volume keys with the opened phone to do what ever you want.
It's clear that you take these steps on your own risk, for me it worked great, I'm now on a custom rom with a lot better user experience.

[SOLVED] help...soft brick!

Hi,
Today I stuffed up my phone... I owned a Sony Acro S and Transformer Prime, which I flashed custom roms and recoveries on both with no issues.
I thought I'd be ok to try my G2...I was wrong.
I was able to root the device perfectly, then searching around I found an apk file for flashing twerp recovery. Which I did then I chose to reboot the phone, thats when I got stuck on the LG start up screen and the LED flashed blue and green. Then I realized the way I tried to put twerp on isnt suitable for my model.though saying that if I hold the power and down button I can get into twerp, but then I reboot and get stuck on the LG screen again.
I am on Stock Kitkat and my model number is D802T Australian version.
Please help... step by step help would be great.
I thought I knew what I was doing and no im confused.
I have searched and tried a few methods which I was unable to fix my issue.
Thanks
Duane.

Oh, so you can enter twrp ? Why don't you install a rom ?
download mode = power off the device. Hold volume up + connect to pc.
