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

You shouldn't, if the ROM includes a full kernel. Read the ROMs prerequisites very carefully

Hey Guyz,
I found a new way to revert back to MIUI V5 from MIUI V6.
As me many of us hav very slow internet connection due to which we are not able to download via TWRP recovery Manager. To avoid downloading i found new way
## First, you have to root your phone.
Steps:
Download the file Root_HM1S_MIUI6_Global.zip and put it in root of sdcard (Use internal)
Launch the Updater app
From the menu select 'Choose update package', and navigate to root of sdcard and select Root_HM1S_MIUI6_Global.zip
The updater app now reboots into the recovery, installs the update and then reboot
After the reboot has finished, You will able to see a new app namely SuperSU.
Open it one popup will aris and choose 'Continue' to update the SU binary
7. In the next dialog select 'Normal' and an updated su binary will get installed
8. Finally confirm to 'Reboot' after the successful installation
## Now Download Flashify App
## After that download TWRP or Philz Recovery and extract it
##There u will find the recovery.img file navigate it to root of sdcard
##Now Open Flashify App
##Select Recovery image
##There Select choose a file
##And navigate to the Image and select it..
##Wait for few seconds popup will appear Flash complete and there select reboot now
##Now you will reboot to recovery
For TWRP Recovery:
#Now open recovery and go to wipe. And go to advance menu and wipe you all data internal storage an everything except external storage.
#After successfully wipe your phone. Go to reboot menu and reboot to recovery. It will back you again to TWRP recovery.
#Now select install. And it will show your phone storage but you can go up lavel A and choose external_SD and select your download v5 ROM.
#After select the ROM flash it....
#And it will successfully flash(it may take some time) and now touch reboot option below.
#Successfully Reverted back to MIUI V5
For Philz Touch Recovery
#Navigate to Wipe and Format Option
#Select Wipe Cache , Dalvik Cache, And then Select Factory Reset
#After that Select "Clean to Install a New ROM"
#Now Select ++++Go Back++++
#Select Install Zip
#Choose zip from external sdcard and Select the ROM
#Wait for few minutes and then reboot
#Successfully reverted back to MIUI V5..

Hit Thanks If I helped you
no matter which custom rom I flash, always gets stuck in bootloop
I'm not new to flashing roms and stuffs. I'm on CM11 on RedMi 1S. Now whenever I tried a different rom(say CM12.1) even after following each instructions correctly, the phone always gets stuck in bootloop( the CM avatar). Please help me out from this problem. I'm using TWRP.
Hi people, here is a short instruction if you have a P or L version of the I8160 and want to update this (great) old phone. credits to xdas-e
for a while i thought that roms didnt work on the P version, because when installing roms i got the error that the rom was only for I8160, not I8160P. so yeah it is possible, maybe this is common knowledge, but i couldnt find out how before i found this information.
I have not tested this exhaustively but i believe they all should work, because i believe the only difference from the P version is that it has an NFC module.
]------- modify the rom for P version:
1.- Get the custom ROM.
2.- Get the /system/lib/tee folder contents from your GT-I8160P JB installation (from stock rom). You may need root access, although in my case I could simply move trough the hidden directories and copy the folder to my sd card.
3.- Swap the /system/lib/tee folder, and put what you got from step 2, into the zip file of step 1, same place, same everything. You may very well dispose the original /system/lib/tee folder in the zip file.
4.- Change /system/build.prop and introduce a P in every GT-I8160 entry (from GT-I8160 to GT-I8160P).
5.- (tricky one) look for the updater script file within the custom ROM zip file, and delete (or add a P) the first complete entry of the assert command (you shall see some GT-I8160 there). in my case it was located under META-INF\com\google\android\.
------- from here you have successfully modified the rom for the P version, these steps just show the installation:
6.- If you dont already have CWM, get yourself one (I used this one [JB] CWM Recovery 6).
7.- Put both zip files into your sd card; get a copy also of gapps (google apps, play store etc) for the android version of the rom.
8.- Back up all your data.
9.- Swicht off your phone and restart in recovery mode (up volume, home and power buttons pressed simultaneously).
10.- Load from the external sd card the CWM zip file.
11.- Make a full ROM backup to restore if things go wrong. Wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache partition; wipe dalvik cache (under advance options), format /system if needed (see rom instructions).
12.- Install from external sd card: a) custom CM rom; and b) gapps if you're for it.
13.- Restart.
14.- You shall be done!!! (first boot takes a long time)
good luck! my phone was crap with stock and now it works great, so basically it saved me from buying a new phone.. a big thanks to all the rom developers for this device .

FAQ
Q: Instructions unclear, phone stuck in bootloop
A: Either do this:
Download this folder and use one of the two ".bat" files. Boot into Bootloader via Volume Down and Power Button. --
It will flash S048 Firmware of our Lenovo P2, after the flash-process is finished it will boot up on its own. Recommended: Do all the ota updates via ota app.
Or: Boot into bootloader, via adb cmd prompt use: fastboot boot lineagerecovery.img , then use reboot menu to reboot into twrp. Clean Wipe phone(Wipe system,data, cache and dalvik-cache Partitions) and try flashing your Rom etc. again.
Q: Instructions unclear, hardbricked my phone!!
A: Thaat shouldn't have happened. Did you screw up somewhere?...
Luckily you backed up your most important files!
