Before you start let me make it clear that, I don't own this device or don't have any connection with it. I put this thread only because my friend from Chandigarh, India requested me to do a guide on customizing this device. So, I collected information from members related to this device & from other forums.
The Roms listed here are not my works, so it may or may not work with your device. I tried my level best to make it as simple as it can.

Hi, i received HTC sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 update. I tried to update it but it stuck on boot screen. Restarting didn't help. So I wiped all the data but later realised I no longer have clockworkmod installed.
I go to hboot and try to put recovery on sdcard through adb, but adb cant find my device.
Is there anything I can do? My phone is pretty messed up now, and I don't know what to do RUU also doesn't work, because my phone can't be found.
// #1 OK I managed to install clockworkmod through the Android Flasher. I've downloaded BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip but I cant install it through the clockworkmod. It says:
"E:Error in /sdcard/BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted."
// #2 sorry to bother.. I disabled the verification check in clockworkmod, installed su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and then custom ROM.. everything now works fine. Of course with the help of tutorials on xda and great people over here.
This was the worst 4 hours in my live as I thought my phone is bricked.
good for u man

You don't appear alone with problem, so thanks for re-editing the thread post to provide updates, if you have the time and could try to add any URLs and links to the files that you used to resolve your issues, then that would be great!
I've already several threads where it appears the update has put others in the same position, so your update could prove to be a useful resource assisting the recovery of others!
Cheers.

Hi, I have Acer A501.
Now I installed Afterota 1.09 to my computer and used Bootloader ICS and it worked.(I mean I have ICS bootloader on my tablet)
Then I downloaded this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635577
and extracted whole content to external SD.
Now I don't know how to boot this rom. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Well if you mean to flash a ROM here is a step-by-step instruction guide :
0. Download the ROM and extract it to your SD Card and place it in any folder you want.
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
2. Select the "-wipe data/factory reset" tab and select "- Yes -- delete all user data" Now, you may be asking, WTF!? why do I need to wipe my phone?! Well this is so the ROM will function properly. To restore your apps from the previous backup use AppExtractor available on the Google Play Store.
3. Goto "- install zip from sdcard"
4. Select "-choose zip from sdcard"
5. Browse through your filesystem and find your ROM.
6. Once you have located it, select it and confirm the install by selecting, "- Yes - Install [Rom Name.zip]"
7. Once the installer says it is completed, go back to the main menu of CWM and select, "-reboot system now"
8. Enjoy your newly flashed ROM!
ROMs are flashed while in a .zip folder
For this method u need to have rooted phone.
Hello guys.
I will show u the way how you can install cwm recovery mod on your android device using android application.
It's much easier then using adb command (for some users) .
First you need to download mobile_uncle _tool.apk.
You can download it from google play store or from this link: DOWNLOAD
Then you need to download cwm recovery from their official site or just google cwm and your device name.
When you download recovery, copy file to root on sd card and rename it to "recovery".
Note: if is recovery zipped, unzip it using winrar or 7-zip and rename it to recovery and copy into root of sd card.
Open mobile_uncle_tools and press "flash recovery from sd card", select recovery.iso and then program will do everything.
Your phone will reboot into new recovery.
Done
Cheers :highfive:
Hi XDA Guru`s,
I have tried to search for a proper guide which will tell me how to move from 4.1.x to 4.2.x.
There are many roms but all say they are without boot.img, some say xxxx kernel is needed etc.
So someone please put up steps that say how and what to do.
I am not asking you to put up links or upload the required files, zips, .img files here but aleast write it down so as to have a proper step by step instructions.
I am sure we all can search for files on google/xda provided we know what we need to look for.
Please take this request of a less mortal person and shed some light on me.
Thanks:crying:
In most of the 4.2.x ROM thread the installation process is mentioned.
1. You need to have custom recovery (cwm, twrp, cot etc) installed.
2. Put the ROM zip in the root of your SD card.
3. Go to recovery, take bkp of your current ROM. (Preventive measure, in case something goes wrong)
4. Clear data/cache/delvik cache
5. Go to mount option in cwm, format data/cache/system
6. Install the ROM by going to install from SD card option
7. ROM will boot loop as the boot.IMG for 4.1.x is not compatible with 4.2 ROM.
8. You need to flash the boot.IMG or kernel compatible with 4.2 to use the goodness of 4.2
9. That's it.
