i think it's because root is gone if you update... even itsmagic is not confirmed will work or no..
ok well first off if you are talking about not being rooted and being able to flash down to 3.0 You are probably right because companies block you. But if you are rooted and using something like cwm that doesnt check the zip just lets you flash it then ummm 3.0 is possible. Just need to make sure you use a rooted 3.1 not the stock... So all you impatient bastards wait lol You have been warned.
I went from Stock Rooted Acer to Virtuous Picasso 3.1 and back again multiple times no issue. I am currently running stock rooted. I will probably go back to VP with version 1.0.5 since it is based on actual Acer 3.1 and new kernel.
Edit: Sorry was assuming people talking about rooted 3.0 to 3.1. Of course installing a non-rooted update will potentially wipe out your root. Never update stock ROMs or do OTAs if you plan to keep rooted. Always wait for developers to make a rooted verison available.
People need to be more patient.

no.
i mean, u cant restore 3.0 with update.zip in stock recovery.
because 3.1 has not been rooted,u cant flash CWM recovery.
if u upgrade to 3.1 with original method in stock recovery from 3.0，u cant down to 3.0 with update.zip in stock recovery.
i think acer is going the apple way by not allowing downgrade of version..
can confirm it. have tryed to come back to 3.0 from stock 3.1 without success on the middle of proces got bee with exclamation. now have a problem to get a root for 3.1 stock
I have been wating for days but my acer iconia tab has not been updated to 3.2.1
Is there any way to do it manualy
My firmware is (Acer_A500_7.0006.01_COM_GEN1)
anyone

If you are stock (non-rooted), then you have to wait.
If you want to root, and install a backup manager (CWM or RA) then you can flash a stock rooted 3.2.1 Rom, or a custom 3.2.1 Rom.
i know that i just want to know if i can update my device without rooting or wait for acer to wake up
I wont to keep it stock for now
No I believe your stuck then until Acer gives an ota one srry
Yes here it is the nexus s official android 4.0.4 from google
this needs to be flashed over the stock 4.0.3 official rom from google it's a 17.8 mb update not a full rom so you can only flash it over stock 4.0.3 i repeat only over stock or else it will fail.
i managed to get the download link from google servers here it is http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/hR7QFEtn.zip as you can see an official google link.
so far i noticed that the recovery is fixed (no longer disappear on i9023 devices)
and battery problems solved too.
ONLY FLASHABLE VIA CWM
the reason is here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24198556
Is it worth going back to stock 4.0.3 and update to 4.0.4?
I am rooted running Codename Android 1.5.5 and Air Kernel 3.7. Pretty happy with that set up. Very smooth and stable and decent battery life (20+ hrs).
I love the tweaks and mods included in CNA. Is it worth it not having them?

Hmm of course it does not have the tweak of custom roms,but if you want a stock experience this is way better than 4.0.3 lots of issue fixed,it's smoother now and battery issues all gone plus the recovery now works again on i9023 devices.

is your bootloader unlocked ?
if it's unlocked use fastboot to boot clockworkmod recovery and flash from there.

you must be completely stock,no stock kernel or modified system apps or files,you can try flashing the 4.0.3 rom,even if you are unrooted with a modified stock system it will not work.

Much better if you all wait for the devs to handle this.

Same here.
I've done data/factory reset + wipe cache partition,
full install (IML74K) 4.0.3 (on wich I was already running),
data/factory reset + wipe cache partition,
full install 4.0.4 using the provided link...

I'm pretty sure that this is only an incremental upgrade and not a full rom so its not going to work if you wipe everything. Its under 20 megs so

I only wiped user datas, not system.
I've been trying to apply it without any wipe before with the same result.
I will maybe try to go back to 2.3.6 then apply only the 4.0.3 update from 2.3.6 (not the full package) and then the package provided but I have to go back home to unlock the phone and load cwm reocvery to revert back to 2.3.6.
OP can you tell us if you came from full 4.0.3 update on only the update from 2.3.6, if you got the update over the air or if you flashed it manualy and also if you are using stock recovery.
Thank you
EDIT : [Q] GSM Nexus S ICS 4.0.4 OTA update released? OP has also Status Error 7 and is trying what I was up to do...
EDIT 2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24145247#post24145247 It seems to be the trick, can't wait to go back home...

sorry this is the official update that only works on I9020T and I9023 (the devices who got 4.0.3 earlier, you should wait for the full release)

you can access the stock recovery,it's just the backlight is very low so blind clicks are still possible,in direct sunlight at some angle you can see the menus (press power + vol up inside recovery for the menus to appear)
I'm having the error Status 7 too.
It seems that the complete rom package 4.0.3 is a little different than upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3. Now I'm downloading the 2.3.6 complete rom and upgrading from this.

Okay. Thanks!
Now we just have to see if coming from 2.3.6 and only using small update packages is the trick or if it's using cmw recovery that makes the update process working.
I'll try with stock recovery and A BIG TORCHLIGHT coming from 2.3.6 to find it out.
IMHO, I'd wait for source release of 4.0.5 (or 4.0.4), whatever is first.
what worked for me:
- full wipe (that means everything except sd-card)
- install 4.0.3 full-rom
- install 4.0.4 ota
since my bootloader is unlocked, i deleted the recovery-dir from both zips before flashing (i prefer cwm).
I've flashed the 4.0.3 OTA, after that this update too. Flashed superuser, currently restoring my apps with titanium, but no trouble so far. Data, wifi working, no FCs, report back later. (oh, and i have i9023)
I am on Thor which is based off ASUS ROM. As soon as we are supposed to get ICS from Acer I want to revert back to the Stock ICS ROM but not lose root.
If I revert back to stock and take the official Acer update will I lose root?
yes you will lose root ,but there is a tool that may work to re-root it. It is made by Blackthund3r. It worked on the leaked 1.031, and as this has the same build number, I'm assuming it would work. Maybe wait for confirmation of this. If someone who has gotten this update would post the update.zip I would test and report myself, but until then I wait for the OTA

Hey,
I need some assistance with updating my Taboonay 2.0 (HC 3.2) A500 to ICS (i prefer stock)
The device is rooted and has some old version CWM installed.
OTA obviously doesn't work...
What should I do and where do i start?
Thanks!

if youb prefer stock flash a stock rom and get the ota
If you want to go back to stock, install one of the ROMs from here.
If you want to update to a newer custom ROM, then you will most likely have to unlock your bootloader. I think you have to install a newer stock ROM first though. This thread has a guide to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks,
I just flashed a stock ROM and did the OTA update, worked perfectly!
