Hello, I successfully rooted and updated to Primordial 3.1, but later noticed the overclocking goodness I've missed out on!
Can I go back to 3.0.? and test this out?
Thanks
Yeah, just flash 3.0.1 Prime, but you will have to wipe or you'll get FCs
sweet cheers!

Now that i have upgraded to 3.2 with the primee P-9 rom,can i still use the other roms that are 3.1 without having to downgrade or unroot?
Yes. Just make certain to wipe through Clockwork before flashing new roms. You won't have any issues (even going back to 3.0). Hope that helps.
You can install any rom regardless of what you have installed. Its a complete replacement. You can't use two different Roms at the same time. Ie.. you have Asus 3.2 now. If you install taboonay, you'LL then have 3.1

Thanks guys for the help.
I just picked up my Acer a500 the day before and am very pleased with the purchase. I rooted it within the first hour of unboxing which was a breeze but I cant find a good How To in reguards to installing CWM and a Rom.
I have had a DX since july of last year and have rooted it and installed dozens of roms, currently running CM4DX GB. But there was much more dev support for the phone than I can find for the Acer Tab so it's a bit intimidating. I'm currently on rooted 3.1
I was looking at lightspeed Rom and Richardtrips OC kernel, or perhaps Dexters Transformer Rom with richardtrips OC Kernel. Thing is i have no idea how to flash either of these, I've been reading non stop and i find myself mroe confused now than before i started researching lol.
Any help or a lead int he right direction would be great.

Tried most roms and kernals and the best for me is stock 3.1 If you like to hack and fixs problems go for it. Just read and do a full backup using cwm (clockworkmod). Download Acer recovery from the market, as it has thors backup stuff. With in you can do a full backup of your rom and install other roms its the tool to have. Have fun.

Thanks for the tip, while researching I have found most people say 3.1 is where it's at and seeing as how 3.2 is rolling out in certain places today I am not planning on upgrading until a root method is achieved on 3.2.
Can I say use stock 3.1 and richardtrips OC kernel? I also want to remove the fluff that came on it, would using Root Explorer to rename the unwanted apk's in system/app a good method or are there better options?
Install Acer recovery installer.Do a complete backup.store it in two or 3 different locations.
Any changes at all you make WILL Stop all future updates.so you will need to revert back in the future maybe
Good luck
I've been waiting to receive my replacement Iconia before doing any hardcore modding and I got it yesterday "shiny XD". I was originally going to install the rooted 3.2 update with richardtrips kernel but have decided I want to hang back on 3.1 for a while longer and enjoy it until 3.2 gets a proper root method.
Which kernel would work fine with rooted stock 3.1? I prefer Richardtrips kernel but will use thors if it's the better option I just need to know which version runs on stock 3.1
Also do I have to wipe data and cache when flashing a kernel? This will be a first as my DX has the locked bootloader so i never got to flash a kernel.
I'm using richardtrip's kernel 2.5 with stock 3.1 ROM, and it's working fine with no issues.

Thanks for the reply .
2.5 some issues.
I was using richardtrip 2.5 kernel, and had some issues but nothing to worry about. If you use HDMI it wont restore when screen goes off. But it's just a matter of unpluging and repluging again the microhdmi.
As far as i know he haven't done an update to the 3.1 kernels, so must assume he is now focus on 3.2 kernels.
thanks for the tip, I flashed the 2.5 kernel and all is well.
I'm using honeyvillan. It has a 3.2 kernel

When I first got my A500 it took about a week before I got the 3.1 update..the weird part is I bought one for my brother at the same time and his got the update before mine did, even though I had been running mine for a few days before I gave his tablet to him.
I read that some devices were having trouble getting the OTA update, and had to manually push 3.1. Same might be true for 3.2.
KEEP IN MIND...
If you OTA to 3.2 you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT/FLASH CUSTOM ROMS!!!!!!
This is a known problem and has been so since 3.2 came out on the A500. Even if you root with 3.1 you will loose it with the 3.2 update. If you think/know you will eventually want to flash roms/want root access, just do it know. There are plent of roms running 3.2, and no real reason to run stock. You can always downgrade/flash stock if needed. Again, do not OTA to 3.2 if you want root access!
dam, well i just updated to 3.2 this morning using the the put it on an SD card and hold the power and volume method
I like the subtle changes but I'll probably make my way onto a custom rom when I get bored next
Does the method mentioned above work to go backwards?
And how come ppl are reporting running 3.2.1 but mine won't update to it?

See this thread when you're ready to go custom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
3.2.1 comes from custom roms, it hasn't been released for the Iconia yet. Pretty sure the roms are based on the Asus Transformer updates. I'm using thor2002's rom, very good one (tegraowners.com)
Good luck

If u were the only one in the UK that hadn't recd the ota, then perhaps....but I don't believe this is the case, is it?
Don't go undoing all the good work u have done in getting back to stock, b/c u getting a little impatient
Being rooted may be a factor and also cwm if u have it. System apps that have been deleted or modified can too.
So can the actual rom depends which one it is.
Now that you're back on HC u could go all the way back to 3.0.1 then OTA up to 3.2.1 - this is what I did, at least I knew the rom was capable of OTA'ing.
I had trouble with the 3.2 OTA , it would fail on install. I used ARI (Acer recovery installer) to put stock recovery back and then unrooted with iconia root.
I then factory resetted in settings and voila, OTA 'ed to 3.2.1. When ICS came thru on Tuesday, it was all good
I know u think u can't do without some apps and games but I was surprised how much I didn't - I have a superbly sweet running stock ICS, unlocked,
rooted and twrp recovery . I do miss the Acer ring from flexreaper, just for bling sake, but other than that I'm a pig in s**t, happyaz
Cheers for that iam going to install 3.0.1 then OTA to ics hopefully iam back on honeycomb bootloader now as i was on ics bootloader as i installed flex rf1 but had battery drain issues and wifi dropping what is your batt like with the OTA ics ? have you had any issues thanks Do you have any links for a working 3.0.1 rom download tried all these from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 but the 3.0.1 links are all down thanks
heck, tht ws kwik m8!!!!
Battery life is pretty good considering my tabs been getting a bit of a hammering but not noticed anything drastic in that area....
Browser is ALOT snappier expecially the forum pages, sometimes status bar would go all the way to nearly the end and stop, and then id have to wait, wait and wait. This one is just opened in a few secs!!!
Wifi and google apps are fine, no f/c or random disconnects
As i said i dont have half the apps an crap i used to have but boot time is minimal
its just great not to feel bogged down and getting frustrated cos i'm bloody impatient (peering over shoulder to make sure partner isnt lurking, lol)
so yeh m8 no complaints at all from this camper!!!! Good luck m8 and for me it was worth the w8......
oh that acer enhancement app - u need it - it actually updated bout an hour or so b4 the ota - so if u get that notification, u wont be far away.....
Cheers for clearing that up was reluctant to install The OTA ics becouse all the leaked or custom ones where draining the battery way to quick anyway going to install 3.0.1 and see if it OTA updats to ICS might be the best way for me to go as stock 3.2 was not updating will post back thanks again pal
and hope you got that CPUID backed up and in a safe place, i know u do now - just a reminder is all

Ooops got that wrong it said version 4.0.??? sumert when it was updating i think that was the build number not android version its updated me back to 3.2 and still getting device is upto date cannot think why my device is not getting updated starting to really pi%% me of now lol
Bumma, just when things were looking good, but ain't that half the fun of android
I have heard before of updates stopping at 3.2 and not going further, ya myt wanna do a search while ya w8n.
Are u clean, clean...??? Well not u yrself ....ya system????
U still on 3.1 or did u get 3.2 loaded??
I wouldn't do anything drastic just yet,
Maybe start a UK OTA anyone??? Thread, like I did for us kiwis
Ya don't feel so alone then m8
Some one posted we weren't getting it till the 17th, so I went back to ICS , a day l8r it came down the pipe!!!! Man, it took me 24hrs to get back...had real probs with the EUU I used, so hang in there m8, let us know how u get on
Yes i am clean lol did data wipe (factory reset) Wipe cache partition Wipe Dalvik Cache" and batt statts at 100% charge prior to installing 3.0.1 then just manual updates then it stoped at 3.2 started a thread asking if anybody had the Stock OTA uk ics rom couple days ago but not had one reply lol looks like iam just going to hang in there if it is not till the 17th did not no about that hopefully it will get hear sooner.
