[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
I flashed Taboonay 2.1 to my Icona Tab A500 last night. Everything was great. I retrieved all my usual apps and previously purchased apps back down from the market, network was working fine. Turned on tab this morning and it is unable to connect to wifi. Keeps trying several times and then says the attempt has been disabled. It sees the Motorola Surfboard but can't connect. I thought I would try to re-flash since the .zip was still on my external SD. I attempted to boot into CWM but it won't come up. It just says loading image and never goes into CWM, that's it. So, I have no ability to connect by Wifi and am unable to download Acer Recovery Installer in order to re-install CWM. Apparently the CWM image is corrupt. The CWM ROM Manager Premium is still on my desktop but it can't do any sort of recovery because if I bring it up and choose "_install .zip from SDCard" it reboots into recovery mode and can't load the recovery image either. Does anyone have any ideas? Taboonay 2.1 is Android 3.2 it has the xda ad hoc wifi patch in it (which has never been quite right) in my opinion. So I found a copy of the 3.1 wpa_supplicant file and installed it into the /system/bin folder using root explorer to set the permission correctly after renaming the one installed by Taboonay to wpa_supplicant.old and re-enabled Wifi. Still it would not connect. The only difference I could see was that it no longer could see ad hoc wifi networks but still would not connect to my infrastructure wifi although it could see it. This particular wpa_supplicant file that I went back to came from Acer 3.1 stock ROM and worked perfectly under 3.1. I'm basically out of business at this point with no network and no way to flash a new ROM or restore a backup. Does anyone have any idea what to do next. Has anyone else had wifi issues with Taboonay 2.1? I did see an update 2.1b for Taboonay 2.1, but I can't get into CWM to apply it. I might as well be totally bricked. I can connect to the tablet and have full access to the 2 SD cards via Windows and a USB cable, but I can't download Acer's Installation Recovery from the market from a Windows browser. I'm sure its not the router because 3 Windows 7 SP2 Computers can connect to it and so can my wireless HP printer. Everything seems to be a Catch 22. Help! Anyone had trouble with Wifi on Taboonay? Does anyone have any ideas or how to get out of this situation? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
Hey gradyzero sorry to see the trouble buddy but the tabooney 2.1b update is made for wifi updates issues and SU perm, im currently running tabooney 2.1b and full with new market and i have no issues. As far as the recovery have you tried new THORS 1.5 cwm can you try using adb to push recovery.img to the tablet, or maybe using terminal emulator theres a new 1.5 cwm update you can try doing that. just extract recovery img to internal sd and go into thors website "google it" and follow every step except for #3

good luck buddy if not hit me up side PM ill see what i can do atleast to try to get recovery back
[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
I don't think I had restored the terminal program back yet let me check. The apk is something I haven't tried. Thanks for the suggestion. I have thor's 1.5 update on my SD card but not quite sure what use it can be until I can get the ability to connect to boot up in recovery. I'll go to his web site and read the instructions there again, overlooking step 3. I have read them once before but didn't have this problem so I just grabbed the download and planned to update it after the Taboonay flash. Figured it would just have to be redone after the flash anyway. Thank for you idea. I should be able get an .apk onto the SD from Windows and should be able to install it. Again, thanks much buddy. I'll post back to this thread what the outcome is.
[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
Restoration of boot image doesn't resolve the problem.

Okay Crashpsycho I download an Acer Install Recovery apk and CWM Launcher 1.0.0.0 apk. Both appeared to install correctly. Acer Install Recovery came up and I was able to choose to install CWM 1.3.4 image. However, when I reboot into recovery I still stop at "Booting recovery kernel image". So reinstalleing the CWM 1.3.4 image that the Acer Install Recovery show as an option didn't fix anything. Any ideas about why recovery might stop when loading the kernel image? When it says "the Kernel Image" is it talking about the base Linux kernel? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Taboonay replaced the Linux kernel with its own version. Is that true? I thought maybe the recovery image was corrupt but assuming the Acer Install Recovery really did reinstall the recovery CWM 1.3.4 image as it said, then something else is wrong. I did manage to get a terminal program installed so I'll try your second suggestion to force the CWM 1.5 image using adb. If Taboonay really did replace the stock Linux kernel, I have no idea how to recover from that. I'm not quit sure exactly where a recovery image goes and so I suspect that adb will ask for the destination. Maybe I'm wrong but do you know? Does adb know automatically where to install a recovery image? If the Linux kernel has to be replaced then I could get bricked if Tabtoonay won't boot up because a different Linux kernel is installed. What is your thinking about all of this? This is getting heavy. Thanks again for your help. Anyone else that has any fresh ideas is encouraged to jump in here and post to this thread. I'll post back here with the results once I try to force the CWM 1.5 image.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sector51:
Installing other kernel solved issues for me, using thor kernel 3.5
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
installing 1.5 use terminal emu, extract the recovery.img from zip folder and place on root of sd go to thors website tegraowners and follow all steps except #3 and that will force 1.5 to tablet. have you tried installing stock recovery image using the acer recovery app
[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
So Sector51 are you telling me you had the same issue. Where booting into recovery locked at loading kernel image? I'll try your suggestion. If it doesn't require you to be able to boot into recovery which I can't. Thanks for the tip.
[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
Crashpsycho, I just completed the terminal method you suggested and followed all the instructions except #3 wihch was a mount, if I remember correctly. I extracted the image file from Thor's 1.5 put it on my external SD by copying it from Windows and then went through Thor's instructions step by step. Recovery boot still hangs at loading kernel image. Thor actually says to install itsmagic into /data/local directory both in his adb push and in his terminal emu methodology. There is no copy of itsmagic in his distribution and I can't find such a file on my tablet. BTW, I also tried the adb push from Windows but the recovery image is pushed to the SDCard so I assume he intents for me to then boot into recovery and to install it. So that's not going to work unless I have itsmagic. The Windows adb method also pushes itsmagic out to the /data/local folder but I can't complete that part and I think it is critical to both methods. Any idea where I get this file? Google search returns nothing except that one entry has been removed due to copyright issues. I think that it is the key to installing from the SDcard. I remember seeing that file on my rooted 3.1 but apparently Taboonay removed it. Can you enlighten me on itsmagic? What is it? Where do I get it? I have currently installed the Stock USA 1.31.06_COM_GEN1 recovery in Acer Recovery but reboot into recovery still hangs at loading kernel image.

This is another side issue but do you know if it would be possible to install the Taboonay 2.1b manually. Is it an update zip or a ROM flash? I'm beginning to think that if I could get back my Wifi back I would just forget the recovery reboot as a last resort. I'm going to investigate what is involved in the kernel update suggested by Sector51. But basically I'm not doing anything else until I can fully complete thor's 1.5 update. Man, I've spent 3 entire days trying to resolve this. I'm going bonkers. It certainly gives me a bad taste for Taboonay that probably isn't deserved because I don't see other post about this particular issue. So please educated me on itsmagic and we'll go from there. Thanks dude for all you help.
[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
I found a copy of itsmagic here on xda. Downloaded it and completly went through the terminal emu process exactly as posted on Thoor's Website for 1.5. Everything seemed to work this time including the execution of itsmagic which spit out a nasty message to Acer something about Its Magic. Acer why did you say the bootloader is locked when it isn't? So this tells me that everything should now be good. I rebooted into recovery and this time it acted a bit different. It still said loading boot kernel but then in about 30 seconds rebooted back to Taboonay automatically. So I'm stumped. Does anyone have and new ideas? BTW, the 1.5 recovery image has a date of 29 Feb 2008. Is that right?
[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
Finally suceeded with 1.5 Recovery, Thanks

This message is specifically addressed to Crashpsycho and Sector51. After four attempts I was finally successful at getting Thor's 1.5 recovery booted. I immediately backed up the current version of Taboonay 2.1 and then applied the 2.1b update. Everything in term of recovery is now good. One problem, the update did not fix the the WiFi problem as I am still unable to connect via WiFi. But that's a totally different issue, which I can deal with. Meantime thank to both of you for generously taking you time to help me resolve this recovery boot problem. I would still like to know what I did wrong during the original ROM flash to Taboonay 2.1 to destroy itsmagic. As well as what I did wrong in my first 4 attempts at repairing the recovery. However, I won't dwell on that as I need to proceed on with working on the WiFi issue. Thanks a million to both of you for all your help and suggestions. You are both what makes xda a truly wonderful and unique place for lovers of mobile devices. I am a programer and web developer and I hope I can contribute eventually to the growing Android mania. I personally think it will eventually dominate the table and phone market, if it already hasn't done so retail wise. I'll return to lurker stats for a while and learn more about the SDK while I try to resolve the WiFi issue. One side note, I recently flashed my HTC HD2 phone from Window mobile 6.5 to Widows mobile 7.5. That involved the flashing of 3 ROMs and then upgrading the OS. It runs beautifully and was much more complicated than what should have been a relatively simple task of upgrading to Taboonay 2.1. I'm sure I missed some small detail that caused the problem with the Icona Tab. You guys helped me greatly and I hope to be able to return the favor at some point. So I consider this issue closed and the moderator should feel free to consider it resolve. xda is power to the people.

Final Note: The adb push from Windows was the last attempt and was apparently the one that successfully fixed everything. As a certified Unix Engineer and somewhat of a Linux expert I opted to use the terminal emulator technique since I knew the commands and what they were doing, but typing in a long stream of commands is always more prone to user error. My advice to anyone else with this problem is to install the Windows Android SDK and use adb push to update as it appears the most recent version takes care of most all the permission issues and is almost fool proof. Again thanks to you guys. The Problem is resolved. Mister Moderator consider this thread closed and resolved.:)
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
great job man atleast you got the recovery to work. i cant say much for the wifi issue or what happen to recovery i would say if anything the issue must have came from the wifi ad hoc patch/change but im not fully technically skilled to say that it really was but great job hope you get it back up and going
[Acer Iconia A500] gradyzero:
I am enbrased to admit this but I feel it only fair since so many people attempted to help me. I've search around and apparenty no one has run into this here yet, but it needs to be posted for future reference. Most all of my boot recovery issues took place while the tablet was docked in the Acer A500 docking station. When I have trouble in recovery mode, with the image loading message just hanging up, 100% of the time removing the tablet from the docking station resoves the problem. Just thought I should pass this on. I know it is stupid that I didn't realize this before now. If you are docked, don't boot into recovery' not even with1.5 installed. I have no idea why this is true, but it is. If you have the Acer docking station DO NOT BOOT IN TO RECOVERY WHILE DOCKED!

Just as the title says. I have not found a keyboard that does what I want it to do (Google searching shows other people have not either). I don't know how to write programs or modify them, but some people obviously do. How would I go about getting a keyboard made by a devoper/programmer/whatever that I (and I assume many others) would use?

I wanna use the download feature on the rom manager app, but whenever I select "download rom" from within the rom maager app, it says I must install the cwm recovery. The thing is, I'm already using it, I guess the app just doesn't recognize that. Is it safe for me to continue and install the recovery (considering I'm already running it) or should I not, and forget about the app and the download feature altogether?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sledutah:
From what I understand and read, don't use rom manager with the Samsung Galaxy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm pretty sure you still have to flash clockworkmod recovery from within RM first before you use it to flash ROMs. But.. I don't think any ROMs are available in ROM Manager other than CM7
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Not true at all. In fact some Devs are recommending RM as an easier way to install their ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phonic:
Which devs? Not the ones on the SGS2 forums here. I believe every single one of them has advised AGAINST using Rom Manager to install anything. Use CWM recovery directly on the phone. Many people have reported problems trying to use RM. And since you are having a problem with it yourself....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Only very recently over the past day or so has ROM Manager become usable. CM7 is one of the ones that the dev is recommending to use it but up until just recently, it's been highly suggested to avoid using it at all costs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
I believe you can -download- roms off of RomManager. However, installing CWM from RomManager is not recommended, because it will cause an invalid signature error. Still flash CWM using the kernel found in the dev section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Taken from the OP:

Phonic, not sure who your refering to when ypu say "every single dev".. there are only a couple.for SGSII- designgears for Cog and Atin for CM, and he already recommended RM so that leaves designgears as "every single dev" and I never said I was having an problem. I also mentioned in my post that CM7 was the only ROM that was available in RM for SGSII. As far as the other comment saying RM shouldn't be used for Galaxy s I guess I dont understand why. I've used it a lot before for CM7 and MiUi.. and now there are more ROMs available (SGSI)

Guys I wouldn't have posted this unless I knew for sure ROM Manager worked and has been used and also mentioned as a method to flashing. Its not fair to the developer for users to go around saying something doesn't work or is highly advised against using when that's not the case at all.

..just saying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hobbs:
I agree with what he said. I used rom manager to flash cwm after rooting and messed up my cwm. I had to reinstall stock rom and root again to fix it. since then I've read the development section not to use the rom manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
It may have something to do with the recovery verification. This was posted above:

I was just making a point that RM can be used and IS recommended as an easier method for flashing a ROM. It seems there is an issue with flashing recovery with RM... hmm looking in to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jsorvik:
This was my experience. I just rooted my s2 and installed CWM through rom manager and I received the invalid signature error . . . what is the best way to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Right now it looks like the best way to get CWM on your phone is by flashing a kernel with it. Check the Development section. Should be near the top!
