1. We are assuming you did our How To Root the Acer Liquid procedure.

1. Plug your phone in via USB cable.

2. Download Superboot2 and extract it somewhere on your computer (if you don’t already have it from the rooting procedure).

3. Double click the reboot to recovery.bat to boot the phone into recovery mode.

4. Download whatever ROM you want in update.zip format from our Acer Liquid ROMs section and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it).

5. In recovery mode on the phone, select UMS On to mount the SD card.

6. Copy the ROM in .zip format from your computer to the root of the SD card (NOT in any folders, just on the sd card itself).

7. In recovery mode on the phone, select UMS Off to unmount the SD card.

8. Select Nandroid Backup and wait for it to backup your current ROM to the SD card.

9. Once the backup is done, click Wipe Data.

10. Then click apply any zip from sd and choose the ROM you just put on the SD card.

11. Once it is done flashing, click on reboot system now and the phone will reboot. Once it does, you’ll have your custom ROM running, enjoy!

The procedure works perfectly. Only problem is that my device can’t recognize my simcard anymore. I will have to go back to 1.6 donut…

PeterfDeVries,

What do you mean by doesn’t recognize your SIM? Does it say no SIM or do you just not have internet access?

Both, because i doesn’t recognize my simcard I can’t make a connection to my opperator network. Manually trying to find it isn’t possible either…

Peter,

Wipe data/factory reset in settings. If that doesn’t work reflash the rom.
