Using cwm do a full nandroid backup, transfer the backup to microsd, put the microsd into the other Iconia and use cwm to do a nandroid restore.
At least, that's my guess.
well that's a start, I was about to start ripping my hair out over this simple sound issue lol but thanks.

Hmmmmm. Can't you use use a full update.zip and flash a copy of the stock rom? Never tried using a nandroid backup on a system it was not created on - it might work, but it might not, I really am not sure.
But just flashing a full update.zip or installing Acer recovery tool to flash a stock rom sounds easier and more likely to work to me - am I missing something and is this not an option?
I tried flashing two or three times before, sent it into a bootloop, I even tried the Acer update decrypter but my laptop is 32 bit, and until today when I finally decided to post the question is when it occurred to me about possibly transferring it. btw, is there a set destination for the nandroid back up?

Nandroid backups go to the external SD by default (I think) - have you tried using Acer Recovery Installer on the tab with the issue? Assuming you can still boot it and have root you may be able to go back to stock using it.
acer recovery
Tonto the market. Download the new version of Acer recovery installer.install third recovery. Go back into Acer recovery got last box .choose a rom for your location.let it download then install.point and click simple and will fix your issue.if you have failed attempts. You might want to try a different SD card.good luck
This did work for me

I have tried Acer recovery installer as well, I have 2.3 in fact I tried just a moment ago, and I get boot screen with android the triangle and the exlimation point.
confusion
OK Acer recovery installer is not the recovery just a means to install and work within it and run pre defined scripts.as in there backup and so on
If you are getting that.you need to
1.open Acer recovery installer
2.Install Recovery.the first black box acroos screen.it will askbifnyoubwant to back up stock recoverybdo so.(this is the recovery program only not the system) .
3.boot into recovery and backup your whole tablet.or use the far right black button to d/load and install a new rom from his list.fallow the instructions there clickishly simple
Good luck
So what Acer recovery installer does is replace the stock recovery. To allow you to install non stock decryptedand other. Zip files of course it will install stock recoveries as well.read the Acer recovery install thread under Dev section it's al in there
Again Google luck
OK so here is what I did and it worked like a charm, installed cwm did a custom restore (everything but data) mounted the SD card on other tablet restored and voila I have Dolby mobile back! thank you guys for all the help and info, now I can truly mess with roms and be safe knowing I have a non currupt back up

Once you root install this:
Acer Recovery Installer
That will install CWM (recovery).
thanks for you both. i will try all of this on weekend.
but before doing this.. how can i backup my current rom? it is possible? thanks
You should install the Acer recovery installer first, then boot into CWM. When you are in there you will have the option to perform a full backup. This backup function will become your best friend.
thanks.. can't wait for the weekend to do this.
lastly, can anyone give me suggestion on what rom should i try in our opinion? thanks

IMHO the stock based ROMs are the most stable, and trouble free. Head over to the DEV section and pick one out
There are plenty of ROMS to choose from. Some are better than others, and some work better for others. Taboonay seems to be the most popular. I liked Lightspeed because it basically removed EVERYTHING that I didn't need. Citvao seems to be gaining momentium. There is also another guy by the name of THOR who created a custom ROM that incorporates some files from the transformer stock ROM that is pretty good too.
I'd try them all and see what one you like best
Steps to using CWM?
If there's a thread to using CWM please direct me to it.
I have taken a short cut in using it by watching a YouTube video for installing a custom ROM and not learned all the in's and out's of using CWM.
I had installed the OTA HC 3.2 over a rooted 3.1 and lost my rooting as I expected. I decided I wanted to have root capabilites but with HC 3.2, so I found the (Oct 5 )version here and started over again.
I started with the Method 2 approach to install HC 3.2 update (that was already rooted here on this web site) to get to HC 3.0.1. However, initially when I got to installing the HC 3.2 zip it just booted afterwards and then went to a blank screen. So I tried it again only not doing all the clearing of user data, caches, etc., that was mentioned in the YouTube Video for installing a custom ROM. That worked. I now have a Acer Iconia 16 GB A500 rooted with HC 3.2 on it which what I wanted.
I would like to try some other ROMs and still go back if I could but I'm not sure about what exactly has to be cleared every time you load a new ROM. I don't want to have it hang again to a blank screen and maybe screw it up so I can't fix it.
Any directions?
Oh, BTW, when I installed the HC 3.0.1 from Method 2, it was so unstable that I couldn't make a WIFI connection. I had to go right to 3.1 to be able to use WIFI and get Acer Recovery Installer and continue on to installing HC 3.2 rooted.
Thanks

This has been posted in another thread by another member, and I saved it. I just can't remember who posted it again.
It's how I do EVERY flash and NEVER have problems.
"Before installing:
Boot into CWM
1/wipe cache
2/wipe data/factory reset
Advanced Menu:
3/wipe dalvik
4/wipe battery stat
Mount and Storage Menu
5/format (system, data, cache )... leave SD card alone.
install the zip ( new rom ) file !
Once done installing... repeat steps #1 - #4 only ( this is to assured that you are cleaned 110% in regard to the NEW rom that you have just installed )
DO NOT DO THE STEP #5 AFTER THE INSTALLATION !
Reboot system into initial Android greeting screen."
Some would say it's a bit on the "overkill" side, but better safe than sorry.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I think I also found where some of the information I wanted was in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204
I should have done more searching.
Thanks again
Oh, BTW, I have read your other posts on this site and like what you have to say. Also, the last step you have, Step 5, isn't in the YouTube video. Maybe that's where I fouled up and somehow recovered by doing again without some of the clearing. I think I just lucked out and got it working. Initially, without WIFI, I was stuck on how can you install Acer Recovery Installer without going to the "Market"? I had to go to 3.1 to get WIFI and then install it from the Market. I searched the internet with a computer for it, but couldn't find the apk to download so I could move it to a SD card and the Acer. Anyway it's working now and looking forward to more new ROMs and maybe Ice Cream if that's going to be the way to go in the future.

Unfortunately he cannot use Acer Recovery Installer as long as he does not have root and that is why he cannot backup his current configuration i.e. OTA 3.2. Taking the risk of reverting is in first place if he insists on using a custom ROM.
Right on!

So I am getting a A500 soon and been looking into rooting/flashing. I am a complete noob but from what I can tell the device will come with 3.0 which means it will be rootable via gingerbreak apk.
after that, the guides say I will need to flash cwm recovery. most of the guides say to install acer recovery from the marketplace, however there also seems to be ROM Manager which is very popular but I could not find any info if it works with A500.
So which one should I be using? It seems ROM manager comes with an updated version of CWM compared to Acer Recovery Installer. Will ROM manager work with the A500?
no
you can not use rom manager..
the acer recovery installer is used to install . thors .Recovery.. its a custom version of CWM. c. its designed for the a500 ONLY.. and its the ONLY one you can use on our device to date..
also after you get the acer recovery installer installed go to tegraowners.com yo get the latest version . i think 1.6.2 of the cwm recovery. you can flash it by putting it on your sd card and use acer recovery installer...
PLEASE THANK BOTH DEVELOPERS AND PAY PAL THEM.. Without them we would all be boring and stuck on stock. PEOPLE ARE TO Colorful and different to be forced to be all alike
If you are android 3.2 or above os . you will need to look at the downgrade to update to 3.2 and above or fallow the post by Timmy Dean. with his back door exploit . this is all due to the encrypted boot loader
Good Luck and fallow all instructions . you will be no longer a virgin soon.. Giggles
Listen to Erica. DO NOT USE Rom Manager. Just because somebody has a newer recovery, does not mean it is meant for your device They are all different.
But,,,, if you want to listen to what the phone guys say, by all means,,, use it. See what happens If you haven't noticed, that thing sitting on the table, is a lot bigger than a phone. And, it has a different operating system on it.
Run the acer recovery, like she said. THen flash thors recovery. You can always go to his site later, and upgrade it. Takes 5 minutes.
Don't wanna sound rough, but trying to keep you from bricking your tab.

where can we pick up acer recovery & thors recovery? I am familiar with GB and previous. My a500 was rooted before the camera screen magically cracked and when I got it back from Acer they had of course wiped it and updated it to 3.2 so I was unable to use gingerbreak anymore. Since then it has run horribly. It was slow stock before I rooted it the first time but now it has become almost unbearable. I just finished rooting and need to figure out whether I am going to get acer recovery off the market (is that where or is it in the threads here along with thors recovery??)
Thanks in advance

Acer recovery is available in the market. The supplied recover image is ok for flashing roms. so don't worry.
But, if you want his newest recovery (after installing from acer recovery), then aftwerwards, go to tegraowners and get his newest recovery. Just copy the zip to sd, and flash. No wipes needed.

I got it installed just now (acer recover) and chose thor's cwr as the boot image. Where do I find *tegraowners*? is it a site? is it a link in the app? on the market?
Thanks!! Trying to figure out which rom to flash now..suggestions?
*Update* - Flashed Taboonay. Still very open to suggestions since this is the actual first time I've been able to flash a rom to my tablet. Been able to do it to a lot of SGS1's (mesmerize, vibrant, captivate & SGSII Att variant) but always had trouble with the acer. Since I got it back from acer for broken camera lens it was stock and was to the point it was unbearably slow. Given I had a lot of crap apps on there but still my captivate before it died ran faster than the acer. I'm just looking for a bloatware free rom that's fast, silky smooth. I don't need a bunch of add on animations and crap. I just want it to work & work well ...
Thoughts & ideas appreciated.

Any of the Near stock rooted roms.. is always the best bet for reliability and comparability. With that said i think Thors rom is the fastest. I use the honeylicious icy rom with some personal touches that suit me..
i would say most important thing is.. I see you kinda unclear on the whole rom/flashing procedures.. With that i suggest to go in the dev forums and read threads to post about flashing roms and rom versions.. Nobody can tell you whats right for you..
Good luck and HAPPY SAFE FLASHING...

Thanks for the feedback Erica. I already did taboonay and see that it is not quite as smooth as I'd like. I don't know why my tab seems to be slightly sluggish or jittery but it is. I'm dl thors v14.2 atm and will give it a try. Now that I have cwr (or variation there of) installed doing any flashing should be a breeze.
Google date restore after flashing
LAGGY FEELING..
this is something i have had a issue with
after installing a new rom.. during the initial setup.. while setting up your google account you have two options one to turn on google backup.. one is to restore.. Turn this feature off if you do not care about your previous data that google collected.. Sometimes it will load crap back on your rom/device that caused the issues to begin with . it will even load some of the acer apps that the rom developer removed..
i dont use this service from google at all.. I take nanandroid backups with cwm . but for my apps and app data i use TI Backup.. thou its not the most user friendly experience . it required a bit of setup and expects the user to understand there terms.. they have a very good help files on there site if this helps you.. after i reflash a rom one click run of ti i can restore my tablet including all apps there data shortcuts on home screen with widgets and so on.. But im sorry that i cant help you set yours up i dont know enought to do so ..

Have you heard of/tried Rom Toolbox?
Read the description of that app.
its based on the rom manager code. with some added tools it looks like...I DO NOT think its in any way compatible.
AGAIN . THE ONLY RECOVERY ROM MANAGEMENT FOR OUT Acer iconia a500 is .
Acer Recovery Installer.
Thors Recovery Partition..
of course as always adb. (don't ask ) developer.android.com i think is url
I use no add on tools or memory task managers android can do this well on its own..

Rom toolbox, was not made for HC 3.2, It was made for gingerbread. 2.3
Some features work. Some, well,,,,,,,,,
Lag in the screen apps, it is HC 3.2 Can't fix it for now.
Well, it's not smooth as some "phones". It works, so until 4.0 releases, it's what we have.
Purchased ROM Manager on Market Place. I also Downloaded Acer Recovery. I am unsure if ROM Manager works for the A500 since its requests what hardware you are using and A500 is not on there. Is there a selection that is good for the A500? Also will or does Acer Recovery do the same thing and baically just spent a few bucks donating to something that will or currently does not work for the A500? Thanks!
Bill....
Rom manager is not supported on the a500/501. If you have an android phone you can use it there. Acer recovery installer is free and works.
Okay...I thought so..Thanks Much!! Maybe in future it will be....

Unfortunately, RomManager is designed for Phones (gingerbread and such). Will it run on HC? Well yes. But do not use it.
JRummys Toolbox also works on HC, and some of the features work on HC, but I would never use it to flash CWM or a Rom. But it has it's good points. Especially if you do not know the android system well.
Stay away from apps that were designed for phones. Different OS and different requirements. Even though they install.
Thanks Much... I have already downloaded Acer Recovery from Market and did the backups from there after using Timmy's method to root. And have also backed up to USB, and Cloud via Titanium Backup before progressing any further. Acer looks good and does bootup into ClockworkMod...

You the Man Bill...
---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------
Titanium Backup, technically, that's a gingerbread app for phones. I would be careful with it, if I were you.
Have you noticed, when Rom manger said it updated your Recovery (on phones) it really didn't? Same version. A bug they don't wish to fix or discuss.
On my Rom, if a user mentioned TB, I would say to go complain on a Gingerbread forum.
TB has joined the league with RomManager. Both old and behind the times. And they should both be put out to pasture.
My 2 cents worth.
Interesting since I have read here and other A500 forums is to look for the ClockworkBackup on the Android Market. If you search for it there it brings up ROM Manager along with Acer Backup. When I downloaded ROM Manager and saw it ask for various devices none of which is an Acer 500, I downloaded the Acer Recovery. Never went very far into ROM Manager. Did everything from Timmy's method and then ran the Acer Recovery solely. As far as TB, again read on forums. But in any case I have done a couple of backups using Acer and placed them in USB Stick and External SD for safekeeping. Learning a lot from all this and exercising as much caution as possible to get the most learning out of it. Many Thanks!!

I rooted my TPT that had ICS 3.5, and accidently deleted a file and messed it up. How can I reload an original or no bloat OS. I tried to install one that I downloaded from this site (0089) and couldn't get it to install with CWM recovery. Is there a step by step process laid out somewhere? Thanks!

Btw, did you try Koshu's CM10 Version 0.7? Its really nice.
Thanks!
Did it succeed?
I didn't try in end because mine is a "US" and I wasn't sure if "WE" would be appropriate. I do have another TPT that's ICS 3.5 (00132 US) and was wondering if you or anyone else can give me a step by step tutorial on how to copy the OS on my good unit and load it onto the messed up one.

No big deal, you need CWM on both of them. Then start CWM on your working one with a 2GB or bigger SD inside, go to Backup/Recovery and select backup to external SD. Wait till its done. Then reboot and take the sd from it and put it inside the malfunctioning one. There start CWM, too and go to Backup/Recovery again. Then go to recover from external SD and you are done.
Thanks, but I was so frustrated I took it to a computer repair shop!
It is also worth mentioning that there is a Factory Reset option that may restore the unnamed deleted file. It is found in Settings or in the CWM/Restore menu.
To avoid bloatware install:
1. Factory reset
2. Complete the first 5 or so Setup steps until you see "You're Done"
3. Open Sim card door and prepare to poke the reset button
4. Click "Finish" or "Done" and then as soon as the Lenovo Pre-Install takes over the screen - reset!
5. Start up tablet, done!
(if the pre-install starts up again, reset once more. I've never had to do it more than twice. You can use the power button but it is slower and requires confirmation.)
Incidentally, I have ROM manager Pro in my good unit, and I did a "backup current ROM", and after it finished, I couldn't find it anywhere! When I would click "Manage and Restore Backups" in ROM manager, I just get a blank screen! Plus, when I tried "Reboot into Recovery", or "Install ROM from SD Card", it just reboots to normal on condition, but no prompts in the process. I tried re-installing ROM manager, to no avail! ...and yes, it does show that it is "allowed" in Superuser.
I don't believe that backups can be made via an App on the Thinkpad Tablet. AFAIK, it is only CWM Recovery that works.
Probably it!
Switch the device off. Switch onagainand periodically push volume up, this boots cwm, there try my small manual.
@emuandco: I did that many times & still just the "stock" boot options came up! I got so frustrated with it that I just brought it to a local computer repair shop! Thanks for your efforts!
