Any recovery and ROM for Acer A100?
Just bought an A100, but I broke some system files. I just need to reset my phone. But I have no factory ROM or any 3rd-party ROM.
Thanks.
Thread Closed, this aint A100 forum and since we don't have an A100 fora yet, you must post your Q in Android General forum.

Hello guys, I am new on android. I have downloaded honeycomb 3.1 update for motorola xoom from the internet.
Can i install it to my acer iconia a500?
if yes then how?
i have rooted my iconia a500. now i am not getting updates from acer like .40 and .41 that United states a500 holders received.
i am from Qatar.
is any one from middle east have received these updates?
waiting for reply.
Thanks.
No, you absolutely can NOT install the 3.1 for a different device on your Iconia. Not if you want a working tablet afterwards.
The last day or so have seen a breakthrough in the recovery software for our device, and there's a partially working beta of a 3.1 update specially for the Tab on these forums, but your best bet for now is waiting for the official update due within the next 2 weeks.
no you will KILL your tablet...
either wait for an update to hit your region or have someone a little more android savvy install the PRIMEE 1.4 custom rom for you.

check that
Also for future reference keep questions in the general thread as opposed to the development thread
thanks to all for reply
I am thankful to all who reply and save me from doing harm to my tablet.
i will keep care next time and will not post questions in this development section.
pardon me for that.
Hey guys, really new here. Its been great reading all of your threads and choosing a ROM to install on my Acer A500. I have what is possibly a really dumb question so I appologize but will Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (is it even out for installation?) run on the Acer Iconia A500? Isn't there a dev version out now? Thanks in advance!
P.S. does anyone know if I can get the Linux version of Gratuitous Space Battles to run on the Acer A500?
Please use the search tool next time, this has been discussed many times and your post is just spamming XDA.
Now, answering your question, rumor says Acer will be releaseing ICS on February (they have even confirmed so in their Mexican Tweeter account), who knows if they are serious this time. There are also a few A500 custom ROMs based on ICS, so hardware-wise, the A500 is more than capable of handling it.
Thanks. Moderators please feel free to delete this thread.
there are two threads that are on going about linux on the iconia.. One is in the dev section. the other i think is in the Apps and mods .
Ics does have a few roms out now..but none of them are complete.Neither of the two are on xda forums as stated above a quick google search will bring more results then asking in the forums...
There is no absolute to when and if .. we will get ics from acer..When it does I would suggest to not take the OTA . As its likely to not be able to be rooted from the start. IF when it does come the Developers will be all over it.. And we will see rom s that are rootable to be releases.
good luck
Hi Guys,
I've got a stock A500 and due to the conflicting reports as to whether Acer will provide an OTA update to Jellybean, I've decided to flash a custom ROM as there as some minor quirks that are starting to bug me.
Anyway, I've found the thread to explain what to do - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 - but it's left me with a couple of questions.
Selection of ROM
I can see at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136 there are links to various threads relating to custom ROMs such as CM10 Jellybean, AOKP Jellybean and CM10 Jellytime etc.
1) These have other topics scattered throughout so I was wondering if there's a page that summarises the various JB ROMs out there with a link to their topic page?
2) Without knowing each of the developers, how does one choose which ROM to use? Is there such a thing as a "vanilla/Plain-Jane" JB ROM?
3) Each of these topics have the first post outlining the ROM with a link to the zip file. Does the author update this link in the 1st post if there's update to the ROM or do you need to read through all the posts to see if the author has an updated link?
4) Once you've installed a custom ROM, how do you know if there's updates? Does the Update in Settings work or do you need to manually come back to the topic and see if the zip file is updated?
ROM/Kernel
At http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 it says that you need
external SD card, root rights, unlocked bootloader (if you're on stock ICS), custom recovery and a custom ROM of your choice.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yet further down it talks about Custom ROMs and Custom Kernels.
1) What are the differences?
2) What does a Kernel do?
3) Do I need this or just the ROM?
Thanks
PS - Not sure if this topic is better suited to be in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136, but since it's a question, the rules say that it should go in the Q&A section.
Hello Everyone,
I am a newbie and I have spent several days browsing this forum trying to update my Acer Iconia A500 tab from ICS 4.0.3 to Jellybean with no luck. I do not have the necessary technical skills to understand how to do so. I would rather pay some good samaritan to do it for me remotely if possible than brick my device. I am attaching some screenshots to show you how far I have progressed. If you feel you can help me out than please PM me. Thanks!!!
I need to install Android 4 on my Acer A500. I've found this CyanogenMod port and intend to use it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426942
However, the thread has no installation instructions, and using the CyanogenMod installer is impossible because A500 is not officially supported. I've browsed this forum section for quite some time but still don't have an understanding of how to install the ROM after all. Can someone please point me to some kind of step by step instructions for beginners?
