All custom ROMS here are for the A500 so far, nothing for A501. You DID backup your existing ROM, didn't you? It tells you too in the CWM thread!
If you didn't, you're boned until someone else posts an A501 rom dump.

Sorry to hear that but you have to do alot of ready before you do anything and backup everything to be on the safe side.Hopefully someone with a backup for your original rom comes along to help you out good luck.

Too bad, because the devs may have been able to use it to create some custom with more 3G support on A500 with the A501.

Yes i know its my foult I dont know why i didnt backup Rom changing is so automatic for me after a huge collection of android phones ...

try to put the 3.1 update from taiwan... the config does have settings for 3G (normally)

I did a similar thing as ble3e (I'm using Acer Recovery Installer) but when I tried to restore after finding this removed all 3G functions the backup appears to be corrupted (looks like a faulty media card) and fails
I tried the leaked 3.1 update.zip but it is also for the A500 and has no code for the 3G
Desperately looking for an A501 rom image from anyone who has a good backup ... help

You mean this china firmware leaked one ?

yes, or wait seems some people got the "update" notification, so soon will get update.zip official I feel
but I do have the 3G settings on my A500 with the ROM I use, so... I dunno what the tablet A501 got over the A500 (about the settings)
oh the leaked one was an alpha testing btw haha
they probably checked how many left over bugs was there and then fixed them hopefully
no A501 in my country so... can't help more, but I confirm to have the APN and 2G/3G settings on my A500 I just checked it

try virtous galaxy.. it has sms application and has apn in setting,.

Unfortunately none of custom roms have support for mobile . Options in wireless connections are visible but problem is whit network searching ... So I'm still waiting for stock rom for iconia a501

I contacted Acer support about an upgrade fro the A501 to HC3.1 - looks like we will have to wait until Q3 or Q4 for this. Here's theri response:
Unfortunately the 3.1 update will not be available for A501 tablets, instead they will be updated to 3.2 by Q3 or Q4 of this year which will of course include all the changes from 3.1 and much more.
Still looking for a stock rom for the A501.

cant you just ask acer to provide the full original rom so u can just flash it ?

Just backed up my a501 rom yesterday. Will upload it a little later on today.
Samsung Galaxy S I9000T + Acer Iconia A501
(Telecom NZ) (2degrees)

Here's my backup. Hope it helps.

You are THE MAN i will check it later and post result

Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.

Thanks for help . My tablet is working again

You mean to tell me that all the a500 roms (even with the a500 battery saving app available from the market which makes a500's stop searching for 3g connection to save battery) have a completely crippled APN configuration area and theres not even an update we can flash over the top to enable it??
Why would they need an app to stop it looking for 3g connection if the 3g connection was compeltely crippled anyway?

Acer Rom Flasher

Hello,
Can someone provide me with a direct link to the Acer ROM Flasher.apk file because how hard I try, I can't seem to get hold of this file from the market. It says downloading and then Installed but nothing is there on my Iconia a501!
Much appreciated!

Afaik clockwork mod will work on the a501, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
it's just there is no ROM for A501 at this moment...
and beware about updates as well...
be patient.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.interphaze.Acer_ROM_Flasher so hard to find ?
Hi,
Doesn't matter, must work on A500 and A501.
Both types does contain the same FW's also only
the A500 doesn't use the 3G bit, that's all.
CWM recovery does work but I can't flash .IMG files with it.
EDIT: I tried those sites/links but it says the app is already Installed.
I tried reinstalling but then it says it will be downloaded to my device
in a short time and then... nothing happens...
That's why I can't seem to get a hold of it.
and FYI: I tried the Virtuous Xoom v1.0.4 mod and it installed and works flawlessy on my A501.

THAT I haven't tried yet because I don't use the gadget.
I'll try when I receive my simcard with 3G capability.
But.... no one got the .APK file for me?
I still won't work the normal way... very frustrating.

[Q] ICS stock apps on HC possible?

Hi,
Is there a way/possibility to port stock apps from ICS (4.0.x) to HC (3.2.1)? I'm asking because I was just on Thor's ICS dev build and checked out the rom a little bit. E-mail 4.1 app for instance can now sync all mail in stead of only one month (tried it with Hotmail-exchange). Contacts and Calendar app look nicer too. So, I'm curious! Currently back on Thor's rom v14.2. If it's possible then a small how-to would be great.
Sent from my Acer ICONIA TAB A500
Yes and No. It depends on the Android API level the application was compiled for.
So if the application was written only for ICS API the answer is NO. However, if it wasn't then the answer is yes.

I think I have an ICS stock apps dump on my computer somewhere, I can try to install them and see which ones install on my tablet running rooted 3.2 and let yall know.
That would be great, thanks!

[Q] What custom ROMS support U8800-51?

Hi, I know U8800-51 (Impulse 4G) doesn't have the same chipset of U8800 (is that true?), so I'm worried that the custom ROMs won't be compatible with my device... that I could loose Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and radio (I don't use it, anyway...). Is there a ROM that supports -51 so far? are there plans to do so?
Thanks
I guess none. Sorry mate.

Im using MIUI in my U8800-51, but you have to flash first GB from U8800pro official (512), then flash miui (if u dont flash the official gingerbread update u will suffer random reboots), there's one bug: no 3G (which is not important for me because for my needs EDGE (2G) is more than enough)
Best regards
u have a tutorial to install the official pro update and flashing MIUI, if u have send for me please?
thanks in advance.

but you'll gonna loose 3G because the baseband changes
I don't know if loosing 3G is worth the shot, I'm fine running 2.2.3... :/
that's why is everyone's choice, i'm fine with 2G and wifi, others maybe don't.
Hi, but now that you solved the reboots problem what do I have to do? There's new files to download, right?.
I don't care losing 3G because I never use It, So I'm interested in this
PD: I had to tell you here because I can't login in mobilecloseup...
And I'm in Froyo, I haven't updated anything.

Don't know if will it work because the upgrade changes baseband, partition table layout, etc...
Maybe doing a full backup on linux with the DD method can work
ok i thing i found out why we aren't getting any updates at all for the phone it seems at&t didnt get the memo to use the phone as a developer phone and the phones here are most of the ones that can be flashed and work for the most part. im guessing at&t screwed us u8800-51 people out of any if not all updates for the foreseeable future. i tried and got nowhere i even went to YouTube and followed the tutorials. got nowhere again. i guess this phone is just not updateable unless at&t decides to make a custom firmware.
---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------
im now tempted to get a phone 7 and deal with the no custom ringtones and no bt file transfer and having to pay for apps
I was hoping one would work with the 3g or 4g. Guess not. As soon as I get the extra money, going to get an Atrix 4g and ditch this one. It sucks because this is a good phone.
@sewa2k I tried the tutorial that you made for mobilecloseup, and i'm now with MIUI, works nice and it's really fast. I love it!!
Thank You

Where can I find official firmware to u8800-51?

Maybe take her to translate [TUTORIAL] and publish here? Great help to find yourself all owners U8800-51!

[Q] MZ605, no ICS?

hi, i am from argentina and I have a motorola xoom mz605 (wifi - 3G) and i want to update to ICS, so I looked for ICS ROMs for my device, but i couldn't find one (neither Teameos nor official). I found roms for WiFi and 3G/4G verizon (and i think there is one version of teameos called everest, for mz601, or something like that) but not for my device.
Is there an official software update for my device? Or an unofficial one?
Is teameos developing a rom for this device?
Is this device fully compatible with MZ601 ROMS?
May I help to develop one? (Testing roms..)
I know there are ways to run ICs on my device, but i want to run it with 3G working
THANKS A LOT

I would suggest that you do some research on the differences, if any, between the 3G service in US vs. 3G in Argentina. If they are similar than you can give team Eos MZ601 ICS a go. If they are different, you can contact team Eos and either request a ROM that supports your service there or ask how to modify it yourself. The devs at team Eos are great and if they are unable to do it for you, I'm sure they could steer you in the right direction to modify one of their current ROMs.
Thanks, Can you please tell me where i can find team eos mz601 rom and how to get in touch with team eos? I am new here... please help me

Like iBuzman said, for OC flash Rogue 2.0.2 "Kuma" kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454863
Solarnz has been updated the Universal Xoom Root to work with ICS.

It works on wifi, but no on 3G, i need 3g firewall please if you have a solution let me know
I think now it is working. I just have to disable "mobile data limit".
It seems if mobile data limit is enabled, 3G firewalls don't work (this info may be usefull for somebody...)

Hi.
I have a MZ605 that had Tiamat 3.2. I performed a Factory wipe and installed Eos-umts_everest-11 and EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v10.4.
It seemed to work fine but I noticed it restarts once in a while, in an hour of use it spontaneously restarted several times. Once when ending a Skype videochat, another time when loading theverge.com, and a few times more.
Has anyone had this type of issue? Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Rodrigo.

I use this and it has fixed my data speed every time.
1. Download the 3g turbocharger from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=979490&d=1333415041
2. If you don't have script manager, get it from the play store.
3. Navigate to the 3g turbocharger download.
4. Click it and select run as root (icon is the superuser logo)
5. Run the script and select your speed settings. Reboot twice to ensure the build.prop tweak works.
6. Verify your data speeds with speed test and test each setting to find fastest speed.
Hope this helps you as well.
