anyone have a backup copy of 4.010.11?

So I don't remember what build I originally had, didn't backup my ROM bcus im a nub, made a mistake editing a file in system/lib which caused my tablet not to boot past the android screen. Came to this forum for some help, kjy2010 came to my rescue. provided me with a full build of 4.010.40 GEN1, placed update.zip in external SD, booted into recovery mode & let it do its thing. worked like a charm & fixed my issue, but then someone said I should have a US build, can anyone tell me why? if so.. anyone have a copy of 4.010.11 they can provide me with & how I would go about to install it. Is it the same concept as done before? Really the main thing is, will I have issues downloading new updates? if I don't switch to 4.010.11.. or will I have an issue regardless bcus I don't have the original ROM.. & if so.. how am I going to be able to work around it in the future.

After you install check for updates and it will update you to. 13
I went back to. 40 , as it seemed a bit more polished to me....IMHO anyway!

Yeah, the original thread had a link that was down, plus I typoed the incorrect build, but the correct link to the file he asked for is there.
No "thanks" for you lol!

I am now on 4.010.11 Gen2, USA, rooted with iconia root 1.3, stock rom. I will like to make a backup of my this setup. Can someone help me with some instructions. Which tool do I use, etc.
Thanks!

Market....get Acery Recovery Installer. After you install it, go into the app and have it install Clockwork recovery mod, miking sure you click yes when it asks you to backup your recover image.
Here is the thread on CWM, although you no longer need to push to install thanks to Acer recovery installer:

Mainly the differences are in the software you get with the tablet and certain underlying factors in the settings, like what channels are allowed in wifi....especially wifi n which allows a greater variety of channels, bands, etc. The world around uses different channels based on government regulations/standards.
I suspect this is why a number of people have issues with connecting to Wifi. They get ROMS from XDA, update their U.S tablets with foreign ROMS and vice versa and then have wifi issues.
You technically don't HAVE to be on a U.S version if you're in the U.S, but for the reasons above, I wouldn't ever recommend using a foreign ROM.

I'm in US, same build as you are, no wifi issues, the GPS.conf is set to north America, and IMHO it's more stable and fluid than the current US build. Just my opinion, and. 02c

Which model do u use...?
The a500 or the a501?
I think a downgrade would be the safest alternative =P

I too am having this problem. Unfortunately, every time I try to downgrade using a stock 3.1 ROM using the stock recovery it will not boot and since CWM is gone I cannot restore to backed up ROM.

this is a prime example why it is always best to wait until the devs get their hands on the update. You are just going to have to wait till the root programs and CMW are updated to work with the new build. Early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

@amburke178
Yeah its true u better should be patient...
I dont know whether the devs are working on it..but a downgrade to 3.0.1 or3.1 would solve the problem... there are various ROMS/ custom ROMS..
To my sorrow i almost used every rom they offered in the dev section..
One Rom should work..if not try to be patient... =D

i think it is because of the new bootloader. Your best bet at this point is to just wait for the new root program to come out. Shouldn't take them that long for it. Don't know about the itsmagic update that could take time, but everything would speed up if anybody would upload the new build so the devs can start looking at it.

I captured the 3.2 update when it came in to my tablet, I have the update.zip and would gladly share it if it helps get root faster.
Not entirely sure the best way to share a 350meg file though!
File I have is an update from 4.010.38 (3.1) to 7.006.01 (3.2) (file claims to be Acer_A500_4.010.38_7.006.01_COM_GEN1)
I can probably put it on some webspace for someone, but I'm afraid if I post it publicly my bandwidth limit will be quickly exceeded.

Of course that occurred to me about 10 seconds after I hit submit...
So I have uploaded it to megaupload...
Unfortunately this forum won't let me post external links... so I can't tell you how to find it!
edit: ok, finally I can post links, so I'm updating this: www.megaupload.com/?d=UXOVADAS
This update comes from 4.010.38 to 7.006.01 so you'll need to be on 4.010.38 first to do the update. (that one can be found in the master ROM list on this site at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 )
---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------
Hopefully this allows some of the developers to start playing with rooting 3.2
Additionally for anyone who has managed to brick their tablet trying to downgrade to an earlier version, this file can be used to get you back up and running (at least it worked to get me back up after I tried to downgrade to 3.1)

Thanks for the upload

Ahh! Thanks so much I was using an A501 3.2 update since I had bricked it earlier today. This will help much with the stupid wifi dropouts.

Made a mirror : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=91

no problem, please feel free to share to anyone who can help make root a reality for 3.2!
(I miss my root... and downgrading doesn't really appear to be an option right now...)

Full (not OTA) Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2

No one seems to show GEN2 any love. Its all GEN1 and CUS7. For those that want GEN2 (I live in US), well here you are. A full image for Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. This is not edited in any way. (This means not rooted). This is probably not going to be useful to the average person. For a modified (but rooted) ROM of this, look here
This is not OTA and can be used without ClockWorkMod (CWM) or any modifications of any kind.
Unzip Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip and place update.zip on the root of your SD card.
I should also mention this is Honeycomb 3.2 for those that don't keep track of the build numbers (and who can blame you?), and this DOES have a locked bootloader. But, nevertheless, and valid source for flashing and other things!

thank you so very much for this. Where did you get it? as soon as i get it downloaded Im going to add it to dropbox and post the link here if that is ok with you.
Here is a dropbox link to the file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26368270/Android/tablet/Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip

Where does anyone get anything? Google, where else?
Do whatever you want with the file. If you search the web log enough you'll find it, too.

Hi. I have a question....is it rooted? I would hate to update it and lose root. Thanks. Excuse the question, Im fairly new to the Acer scene (1 week).

This is not rooted, it is also bootloader locked. I do not recommend this for you. Try another rom that is 3.2, there are plenty now!

Ty, been waiting for a GEN2 to add to my collection.

Thanks for the heads up. Im running Honeyvillain 1.2 but Im curious about the GEN2, as Im in the US as well. I dont know what the differences are, but so far its working smooth, smoother than any other ROM out there.

Yea I wouldn't worry 2 much about GEN2. If you have a choice, get GEN2. Otherwise it doesnt matter. The differences are mostly system files related to keyboards and databases and such from what I have dissected.
Like spelling color as colour and other oddities.
That and different bloatware, not all the same as the US

That problem can be solved by adding the line "ro.carrier=wifi-only" in the buildprop (you can do this with es file explorer or root explorer) and reboot.

I live in the us and while I have rooted my a500 I haven't installed a custom rom yet because the few stock roms are gen1. I want to stay as close to stock as possible and would love to have this 7.006.01_com_gen2 with just root and and bootloader fixed. I thought your "clean" rom might work for me but I'd prefer to have just the stock rom with few modifications. Any idea where I might find something like that?

Can't update to latest patch

Hi,
I've already make a factory reset via settings but the update still can't install... After a little work, a RED "!" icon appears on android when trying to install it...
I'm on STOCK rom and STOCK recovery... very very strange....
Someone can help me?
Thx!

So, when you typed this thread title in did the posts you saw regarding this exact issue not seem like something you should have read?......

really can't understand... someone else had the same problem? Can't find the other post, sorry.... where is it pls?
edit: founded thx

Hello,
I'm sorry, I don't find this thread. I really searched.
I'm in the same case than asder00.
My Transformer is rooted, B50, European, and actually 9.2.1.11 official build.
The only way to update HoneyComb -> ICS was to use the version posted by MrNago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658<br />
Today, I tried to update to 9.2.1.17 build. I received this update, but when my tablet reboot to install it, a triangle appears at approximately 30%. Exactly the same thing than when I wanted to install ICS.
I tried to install official ROM stock ICS of Asus with CWM recovery. Doesn't work (Status 7). No error about the version. I took WW build.
Same with ROM Revolution HD.
But retried with MrNago ROM, It works.
I don't know what to do to recover working updates.
PS : I think to know about which thread you speak.
I have read it. I don't think our problem to asder00 and me (and many others) should be over there. In my case, this impossible installation didn't appear after ICS.
And, those who posted our problem didn't have solution.
PPS : Sorry for my poor english. I'm not a moron. English is not a language I use every day.

Go to this thread and download and flash the file .
Note When you have CWM you cant ota.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551652

Yeah, that's what I've done.
This micro update has worked with this file.
That's right, CWM is installed.
It was not when I tried to upgrade to ICS.
And if this is really source of our problem, I don't know how to remove that.
I have seen a method which match with what I've alreay done (reboot in recovery, install ROM stock... /!\ doesn't worked).
I believe I'm condemned to upgrade with files found over the web.

What did you do to fix this problem (with stock recovery and stock rom)?
I'm having the same issue, red exclamation mark. I never rooted my device.

1. Root
2. Install CWM
3. Flash update through CWM
it's really not that hard.

OK, that's a way. But keep in mind there are customers without knowlegde of rooting and stuff... what about them? The update should work, right?

Then you talk to Asus about it, not here.
Here is a place where people come to find information and learn how to do things.
If you just want a magic one click fix, call Asus.
I was also in a similar situation as you. I went back to stock rom and stock recovery and noticed I wasn't getting the OTA update to 9.2.1.17. Guess what?
I rooted my TF with a root kit found on this website. It literally rooted my TF with a click of a button. It was so easy.
I then installed CWM with an app posted on this website. It was just an APP. All I had to do was run the app and it installed CWM. So frigin easy
Finally, I manually flashed the update through CWM, which was made possible because some nice dude on this website posted a CWM flashable zip for the 9.2.1.17 update.
This entire procedure took less than 30 minutes.

You're totally right about that. I'm just curious what the problem might be. Would be interesting to know.
I'm now going to use the CWM method you suggested.

Same thing.
I would like to know if someone knows why few peoples have this problem, and many others not.
Why, since ICS is came, auto updates doesn't work.
There are solutions, of course. Sometimes we can search 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more. For some people, it's easier than for others.
And what we all are sure, if we call Asus, they don't tell us how to resolve that. They will tell us to send the tablet to them. It's not what we want.
So, if messages like that irritate you, I think you should drink a herb tea.
Or close your eyes, take a full breath, and read another thread.
Because there will be always messages like that.
I don't tell that to provoke you. I would like that you understand that when people have problems, they go where they think to find the best solutions.

better to make a nandroid backup of full stock Rom with that update as it will help more then just OTA.

Barely managed

I barely managed to get this update, cos.... being a noob with this phone made me really go through hell, especially because of a lack of HTC_622 users out there.... especially english speaking ones....
I somehow managed to unlock the bootloader, but couldn't get the S-Off thing to happen.....
Then I flashed it with god knows what and the TWRP think and another recovery image....
then went on with RevolutionHD 10.2 fooled around with it for a few days but found it to lag quiet a bit....
Got rid of it by flashing something else on to the phone, lol, then finally relocking the boot loader and the update came straight in....
Before locking the boot loader, the update had already got downloaded onto the phone but erverytime I'd install it, the reboot would take the system into the recovery bootloader that twrp thing and then go back to the same.
The twrp would not flash the OTA with signature verification or without.
.....
Anyways, I'm uploading the file (files, split into 2 parts using total commander with the crc included to dev-host , broken into 2 parts cos the max size allowed is 512MB for non premium users)
Will post the links here in sometime.
