Are you saying there's something wrong with civato's code?? :p

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

You could always use the IMG with the Acer Recovery Installer app available from the store.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well if there is a error in the code aroma wouldn't even start and reports the error and it will even tell on what line.

With all the Recovery's including twrp 2.1.3 the aroma installer with my ROMs works just fine. I use aroma 2.56. So it must be something that changed starting from 2.2.0 and higher. When I try 2.3.0 it just sits on starting aroma line.

Maybe I need to clean out the starting lines about calibration.

Installed through update zip as goomanager was doing it but nothing coming up. This touch was not booting into system properly so I tried to go back to cwm but cant so what should I do to get the CWM first?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Do you mean update the recovery?

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Try using the Acer Recovery Installer from the Play Store.
[Acer Iconia A500] kamirza:
Thanks again. it worked and now I have Thor 1.7 for ics bootloaders recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] TheTenth:
OK facing 2 issues currently on this device :

- twrp doesn't apply themes (not a big deal but still...)

- when trying to reboot the device from recovery, it hangs on off mode, so I have to switch it off completely with power button, and then start it again.

Happening both with 2.3.0.0 and 2.3.1.0.

I was really wondering if I was the only one in that case,

Haven't seen anything in the log.

Thanks for the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
If you tried to flash the latest TWRP using the flashable zip, try using the official IMG from the TWRP website. You can put the downloaded IMG onto your SD card, rename it recovery.IMG, then use the Acer Recovery Installer to flash it. Just make sure that you choose recovery.img from SD in the Acer Recovery Installer menu.

Error.

On the Acer A500 It seems to download on goo.im

, but then I get an error. Seen something about checksum ...

didnt catch all of it.

Tried it a few other times and says it installed.

When I reboot back to recovery it still says its the old version.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
You could try the method I posted previously above your last post.

Mixed clor at recovry reboot

Hello and thanks for this nice app.

Every thing looks to work alright on my A500, ROM: AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_Gen1, However, I noticed just after starting the app TWRP the screen displays immediately before the Menu appears, a mixture of colored lines covering the full screen (flickering?), for a few seconds (2-4). After that I have no issue.

I noticed also, I don't get that when rebooting the device normally, without TWRP.

Would you please explain me why this occurs and how to fix it. By the way on my other device (Gtab 7.7) I don't have any such issue.

Many thanks again
[Acer Iconia A500] Dees_Troy:
It's something to do with the kernel that we're using. It may be annoying but it doesn't hurt anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
Ok, Understood.

Is there any way to DL the latest update, if that can help ! I am trying to do so but I get a file with extension (.md5). instead of (.img). And through the Device, the App goes back to menu as soon as the DL starts, but nothing happen after (no DL).

Thanks

Won't upgrade from 2.1.3

I'm running 2.1.3 and would like to upgrade TWRP before installing Randomblames new CM 10.1 rom.

When I try to upgrade using Goomanager it downloads the 2.3.1.0 image for Picasso and reports that "Recovery has been installed" without any reboot. When I reboot to recovery I am still in 2.1.3.

Any suggestions? Or should I go the fastboot route?
[Acer Iconia A500] Diablo67:
I'm getting the same issue and speaking of the fastboot route,how the heck do i get into the bootloader to use fastboot?I've tried and tried,but cant figure it out,hahaha.

Just a quick question,i just found Afterota v1.09,does it work as far as installing the new ICS bootloader and your recovery?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Their is a flash-able ZIP posted somewhere in the thread for 2.3.1.0. Otherwise, check your goomanager folder for the TWRP image that Goomanager downloaded, copy the *.img file to your external SD and rename it recovery.img... you can then use Acer Recovery Installer (selecting the "recovery.img from SD" option), from the Play Store, to flash the new recovery. Of course, there are other ways of doing it as well... I just listed two.

I know with skrilax's most recent unlocked ICS bootloader I use the following: Vol Up + Power Button - until the menu shows up. Not sure about the GB bootloaders.

It can work, but if you're having trouble with your USB drivers you may have to enter APX mode manually... there's also blackthund3r's tool over at Tegra Owners forum.
[Acer Iconia A500] wahlis:
Thank you! Renaming the image and flashing it with Acer Recovery worked like a charm. A quick and easy fix. Now I'm running CM 10.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dees_Troy:
Updated!
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
Currently im running CM10.1 JellyBean 4.2.1 build for Acer Iconia A500, and I can never get goo manager to work, so just did the recovery img through acers app , twrp runs great but having a reboot problem from inside recovery , i have to turn off the device and restart , but other than that im liking it, im also running trwp on my Samsung Galaxy Note i717 and loving it , a big thanks to the devs
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
Ok seems that was just the first go around after install , it now re boots no problem , Im liking it alot (I can actually see it too,lol)!
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Awesome! Curious, the direct IMG download link shows one for picasso AND a500... assuming there's no difference between the two? :p
[Acer Iconia A500] Dees_Troy:
Nope, no difference. Right now goo.im can only assign one device ID to a file and some ROM devs called the A500 "a500" in the build.prop when it should be picasso. To ensure that all users can install using GooManager we have to have 2 files for 2 different build.prop IDs. They are identical except for the filename.
[Acer Iconia A500] Ping192:
Thanks for the 2.4.0.0 :)

GooManage somehow does not updte my recovery. For those who also have this problem, i have included as attachment, a flashable one.

You can flash this with CWM or TWRP 2.3.3.0 or most other common recoveries avliable.

@dees troy thanks for update im using it on my acer a500 and very happy that weird screen with all the diffrent calours are gone when i boot into recovery. Im also using it on my galaxy note 2 so far no problems. @ ping 192 i had the same problem with goo updating my recovery and i used ur zip file worked flawlessly. Thanks guys. just to update i tried the new 2.4 recovery on my acer a500 im using cm10 flex. I tried to reinstall my current rom coz i had nothing better to do and and wanted to try the new recovery but the tab froze just as flashing the rom started i tried a couple of times but didnt work had to reboot and then tab got stuck on just a black screen no display at all. after turning tab on and off couple of times it booted up. then using acer recovery witch is crap and very buggy i flashed thor 1.7 and reinstalled my rom. no idea if anyone had same issues

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.0.0 touch recovery [2013-01-29]

I got latest recovery via zip, but in Acer recovery installer not recognized and no access to premium features, back up, restore, install/download from etc
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
I seem to be having an issue using the Goo manager. It downloads the file, flashes a message about flashing the recovery, then stops and never actually updates...

EDIT: Used Acer Recovery Installer and the *.img file to install, works great
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
That ROM uses a Aroma installer that has had a history of not running when using versions of TWRP 2.1.3+. You just confirmed that it still refuses to run using recovery version 2.4. ;)

The ZIP is for flashing... you can use the IMG with Acer Recovery Installer by copying it to your external SD and renaming it recovery.img (you will then see a new option, within Acer Recovery Installer, to install custom recovery from SD).
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
I must be doing something wrong with the install. I successfully flash the image in Acer Recovery Installer but when I attempt to flash a 4.2 ROM it starts to go down in flames. I get a glitchy screen right after the bootloader. Booting back into TWRP I find that /data can't be mounted and I'm all around screwed because I don't have a backup on my SD card (you'd think I'd learn by now!). The MD5 is fine so my bets are ARI must not do everything right. This is not the first time this has happened and I use ARI both times to install TWRP. It looks like I'll be recovering through fastboot in the next hour. Hopefully that works.

An unfortunate side effect from last time that I hope I won't run into: it ruins the contents of some ZIP files on the internal storage.

[Acer Iconia A500] Gountled:
Look at first post on this page, there it is stated that Aroma obviously does not work together with this version of TWRP.

Unfortunately.............

Gountled

EDIT: Sorry, just recognized first post is different version.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dees_Troy:
Aroma does work with TWRP, however whether it works likely depends more on the specific implementation used. It's not a TWRP issue unless it has something to do with the kernel that we use in TWRP (which still isn't really a TWRP issue).
[Acer Iconia A500] 10507:
Thanks Dees_Troy for clearing this up. I love the interface and usage of TWRP, but with some Aroma installer I am unable to use with TWRP.

So now, is there any one brave enough to try this new version of TWRP on Civato ROM?

Again, thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this project.

EDIT: not working with Civato aroma installer ROM:(
[Acer Iconia A500] skurtov:
There are some problems with this recovery, a lot of Aroma installers won't work with this version, and I've faced issues with mounting /data in this recovery. It's just better to stay with 2.1.3

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

From the Twrp website:

What's new in 2.4.3.0:

Fixed 2 bugs related to restore, one dealing with mknod failures (by bigbiff) and one dealing with restoring hardlinks (by Dees_Troy)

NOTE: If your backups weren't restoring correctly in earlier 2.4.x versions they should restore correctly now. Hopefully you didn't delete those backups. If you're still having problems, run the restore, go to advanced and copy log, then give us the log. Complaints without logs will be rightfully ignored.

Added a scroll bar to file selectors and listboxes courtesy of Tassadar

Added libblkid for more accurate detection of file systems and can now detect exFAT properly thanks to bigbiff

Added a screen dim effect 2 seconds before screen off on some devices

Finally fixed file selector crash (one of the joys of working with multi-threaded software)

Fixed loading of screen timeout setting during startup

Improvements and bugfixes to screen timeout code

Fixed persistence of the 24 hour / military time setting

[Acer Iconia A500] Spikelangelo:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

Acer recovery installer doesn't recognize TWRP directly. Find the recovery you downloaded with goo in its folder on your sdcard, I think it's called goomanager. In there you should see openrecovery-TWRP-version number.img. Rename this to recovery.img and place it in the root of the sdcard. Now load up Acer recovery installer and select the custom recover tick. It would have been previously grayed out. Press install recovery and it should work and give you a confirmation.
[Acer Iconia A500] projectpaki:

3. Rename openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-a500.img to recovery.img

Reboot into recovery... reap the benefits.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] AustinFire:
Sweet! I'll have to try this out!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kinfauns:
I just gave the new version a quick run around the block...

PROS: The distribution is no longer a boot image that forces a flash of the old FFF 1.0 along with TWRP. It's now an actual recovery image that can be flashed through fastboot like... "fastboot flash recovery twrp-fire-2.1.0.img"

CONS: Even though there are some more reboot options in this new version, they are all still broken. Just as in 2.0.0, none of the reboot options (system, recovery, bootloader... I'm assuming the last one is supposed to boot into fastboot mode) will reset the bootmode accordingly before the device is restarted. That makes these options pretty useless as the device will still continue to boot in the previous bootmode. So, the TWRP bootloops will continue to plague new users who have no idea how to get it to boot to the system.... bummer.
