I couldn't live without a Rooted A500 for ad-hoc support to tether to my iPhone 3GS.
I did everything in this order.
*********** Read Instruction Carefully **********
1.
Downgrade from 3.2 to 3.0.1
I used method 1 from this thread:
Here
2.
ROOT 3.0.1
I used this thread but there are other ways:
Here
3.
Install ROOTED 3.2 custom ROM of your chioce.
I used Taboonay 2.1. I downloaded the ROM right to the A500 and then copied it to the SD card using 'File Manager HD'.
Instructions here:
Here
Works Great on my A500 and only took an hour to complete. And Taboonay already has Ad-hoc fix.
Nah, too troublesome.
I rather wait for root to be available for 3.2
Did it the same way, works like a charm

Going to be a long wait then, as I don't think anyone's working on it.
Me too I wait as the method is pain in the ***.
There is always someone working on this kind of stuff........
Pain in the a**?
If you say that this root is hard work and complicated... ever thought about getting an iPad?

Some people just want everything handed to them on a silver platter...
i dont think anyone is working for 3.2 root now, people just will make downgrading much easier, as the exploit is already found, /...
not trying to flame but why would u update just to go back...... why wouldn't you just flash a custom 3.2 rom and be done with it lol

I like your attitude. haha. After waited like 2 months, and finally got the stock 3.2 from one of our friends here, and then has to go through all these back to a custom ROM, that seems too much
Why would anyone that goes here downgrade then take an official update that has no root...smh

That's a good question!
If your tablet needs to be rooted, and you updated yours to v3.2 from 3.0.1 via OTA, you'll loose the root privilege. - That's the answer.
So, to be able to get his tablet rooted, either downgrade and install his/her chosen ROM (already root).
And that's what I did on my A500 when I updated to 3.2 via OTA. I have to downgrade back to 3.0.1 and installed my chose ROM.

My A500 Rocks!
Thor Transformer Revolver 3.5 Port v4.1
I updated my A500 before I realized I cannot root the device with the new update. Now I have to downgrade it. I look at the tutorial on how to downgrade but I am confused since I am new to this. When I download the package from the tutorial post to downgrade, do I download it directly to my tablet or my PC? At instruction #3 it says use and editor to edit the UID number. Is this file keep on the tablet or the PC? Like I said I am a little bit confuse here. If anyone can provide me some help it will be great.

Because custom ROMs are buggy as hell. I'd rather have full functionality than not be able to use Bluetooth or volume in a set of games or some other minor annoying bugs.
The update just hit the US. I'm sure that will give people the opportunity to work on root for 3.2.
@max8176
The downgrade has to be done over your computer. You only need to connect your tablet to the computer when the software tells you to.
You also edit that file on your computer.
After your downgrade you have do the next steps (root, flash new rooted or custom rom) on your tablet.

@DerTeufel
Thanks, I figured it out. Have another question. After I downgraded back to 3.01. Will I be able to update through Acer? I went to system and check for any update and it said my system is up-to-date. Does that mean I won't be able to do auto update from Acer?
Please, let me know if downgrade will leave all the data, programs and settings on the tablet or if it will wipe it clean.

no just did it this morning for myself, keeps everything however the 3.0.1 downgrade file (one I used, don't know if there's a 3.1 ) is horribly mangled and there's force closes out the butt but its just enough to get root and install CWM as long as you have iconiaroot app and Acer recovery installer from market installed already as I don't think the keyboard will be usable
I did the second easy method though where you just place the stock rom update.zip file on SD card and install on boot, I believe the one you do connected to your computer will wipe everything

Sorry to bug - Do you have 3G support using the custom ROM? Heard a lot of the ROMS are only written for the A500 without 3G radio?
Want to downgrade then install custom 3.2 rooted, but need to make sure it is compatible with the A501 (3G radio)
Thanks

For those among us who aren't terribly comfortable using the RageAgainstTheCage method to root this sucker there is an alternate method! This method DOES however require some familiarity with Odin, so if you aren't cool with that or if you have zero experience using key combinations or flashing I wouldn't recommend this.
Things you'll need:
JI6 Kernel
http://www.multiupload.com/FEJ1YHMM2I
JF6 Kernel
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//test/kernel-captivate-stock.tar.md5
Root via update.zip
http://www.multiupload.com/02RXSWORVC
And Odin of course (NOT THE ONE CLICK DOWNLOADER)!
http://www.multiupload.com/DLS7TWUVPY
1. Place the update.zip on your internal SD card.
2. Power down your phone
3. Boot into download mode and set up with Odin
4. Place the JF6 kernel into the PDA slot, and uncheck auto reboot, hit start
5. Once Odin has finished, remove your battery and close Odin.
5.5 Also remove the USB cable!
6. Put your battery back in, press and hold both volume buttons, and power on
7. You SHOULD be in stock recovery now, select "Reinstall Packages" the root update.zip should run.
8. As soon as the phone attempts to reboot, remove the battery, start Odin, use key combos to get back into Odin
9. Flash the JI6 kernel back to the phone
10. Profit!

Why do you go from the JF6 to JI6? Just wondering

whoa...definitely a weird way to go about things, but also seems easier (for the average user) to successfully root.
on the other hand, i would be willing to bet a one-click will be up tomorrow (someone said they would do it, don't remember who).
anyways...like always zilch pulls through! nice job man
The reason you have to switch, is that the JI6 kernel enforces Signature Verification on update.zip packages, so using the root zip package fails horribly. However JF6 does not share the same opinions on unsafe update packages and will eagerly gobble up whatever you feed it

You da man. The JI6 kernel is what I have been waiting on. I rooted (using the JPH kernel swap method) and have been sitting on the i9000 JPH 2.2 kernel, trying to figure out how to dump the JI6 kernel.
Did you dump the JI6 kernel your self? Do mind sharing a link or a quick PM on how you dumped this?

Actually credit goes to designgears for grabbing the kernel first, he beat me to root by about 5 minutes haha, I did however repack it for flashing myself =P But if you're interested in how to pull it, you need root first obviously, then from adb shell:
Code:
cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage
Then you just have to pack it up properly to be "Odin friendly"

It depends on your kernel version. If you read chainfires tutorial it will tell you how to check. Go to settings-About Phone- then scroll down to kernel. It should say N7000XX then what your kernel is. So mine is N7000XXKKA

I didnt wonna root just yet i want to see how good this phone will get without the tweaks.am probably gonna wait for ICS.
Btw i got a 7000+ Quadrant score with my Galaxy S2,And i have to say while this phone is impressive it still has a long way to go.as its still laggy in opening apps.You can deny it all you want but users of the SGS2 know its true.

If you got 7k in Quadrant you probably had a super lite ROM flashed on your SGS2 or used titanium to freeze every app. Otherwise I'm calling bull**** on your claim because I also had an SGS2 and it was nowhere near as nimble as you make it out. The Note is every bit as fast as the SGS2 with 2.3.6 and a few tweaks. In fact my girlfriend has a white SGS2 arriving on Tuesday so I'll be more than happy to throw up a side-by-side video to disprove what you said.

Unbrick Your Device / How to use NVFlash
In the unlikely event you brick your device, don't worry, it can be saved. It's very easy. Please download NVFlash and any ROM flashable using NVFlash above, and follow the steps below.
Put your device in APX mode: Connect your device to your computer via USB and power on the device holding both the Power and Volume Up buttons for about 3-5 seconds. The screen will remain black.
Install the required drivers for APX: If you haven't installed them already, find your “APX” device in Device Manager and update driver manually, pointing it at usbpcdriver in the nvflash.zip.
Prepare your ROM: Download your chosen NVFlash ROM and place the system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img in the nvflashtf directory. "/nvflash/nvflashtf/".
Start the process: Run download.sh (Linux only) or download.bat (Windows only) to start the process.
NOTE: NVFLASH CAN ONLY BE USED ON AN SBK1 DEVICE. PLEASE CHECK YOUR DEVICE IS COMPATIBLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS METHOD.
Razorclaw's tool is the easiest way to root and I think Prime does allow to OC (its in the Prime Tweaks options...)

This is a very well thought out thread with a great layout. However, the Razorclaw app and Recovery Installer app method is much much much easier. No computer needed. No drivers or cables needed. Just your TF and a connection.
These 2 apps need to be added to the reference thread. The info there is outdated.
that was an older method..razorclaw is more convenient,no pc,no cable.IMO there isn't needed a tuto for root,because is too simple...install an pak...install anotheer one to have cwm...that's it!!
Thank you all for informing me this information is now out of date. It will be updated soon.
nothin' mate,it is very easy now with that!the only problem,not for me,is the future asus's ota that can brick the device if we return to stock and upgrade from asus....
Why worry about an OTA update when the devs will have an ICS build out before ASUS?
infact for me it isn't a problem,but i red that for some people is bad don'r receive ota asus anymore.personally i go with revolver,until fabio released an ics build!

My understanding is that once you are rooted any unroot method should work to bring you back regardless of the model number. I haven't had the need to revert back. I also have a B90 and am rooted with CWR. There are two threads about unrooting in this thread that people claim success but have yet to figure out if anyone had a B90. I'm assuming soon people will try to unroot now that a lot more people probably own a B90 model.

No, just wait for the OTA to come out.

I to believe . well with a bit more details. Trying to say this nicely as humanly possibly.. IF you have read the forum thread in its entirety you might should not Install any rom .Give this a few days for all the fuss to calm down and see how it really runs before you make the leap.
Be patient and it will be all worked out on the safety and someone will put up a NOOOBIE STEP BY STEP INSTALL For this rom. Just as all the others in the past..
good luck and Happy Please waiting

Yes you can !
You can install the "original version" of this ROM from your recovery if (and only if) you root your tablet and install Amon-Ra recovery on it.
Renee: Now that we know that it's possible to go back to Honeycomb from this ROM, you could maybe test it and give your impression and your opinion?

I will over the weekend . I have a a doc apt and would be lost there without my tablet. I know and yes i know how and have backups BUT I have flashed my tab many many times and not ONCE Come close to bricking it.. WHY Because i wait watch and Learn..
Thank you all. but I do not know if I install this rom now, I'll wait a little longer for a more stable version or the official version in April.
Wise decision, alexmd
But this Rom is the one that will be sent by OTA, I believe... most probably before April. Some people working for Acer have announced that the OTA must begin in a very short time now.

No, just wait for the OTA to come out.

THIS LEAKED ROM IS FOR DEVELOPMENT
•Give the developers time to take this leaked ROM and make a stable release.
•Currently there is no version that keeps full Root and Recovery. A500 tablets will bootloop flashing the CWM version.
•A501 users can flash the CWM version but there is no 3G.
•A500 users can flash the stock ROM, but there is no Root and no way to install Recovery. Going back to 3.2.1 is not verified.
PATIENCE PLEASE, while this is being worked on.
I am willing to bet within a week or so we will start seeing ICS Roms that can be flashed with either Acer Recovery, CWM or RA.

This is not the same rom that will come thru OTA.. Acer on there website has said the acer a500 WILL Receive the same Added app updates the new Acer lock screen as well as the Acer ring. This leaked rom has none of them. This is the reason people are saying that the leaked rom is a Alpha build. and will Likely have issues and compatibility issues
I don't understand what you mean, Renee
There is a new lock screen ring (a bit modified) on this leak rom.
Anyway, you can be right but, for me, there is no need to change anything on this Rom. .. The only thing to change now to be close to perfection, is these two crappy microphones...

I believe she is talking about the "acer ring", which is some overlay that appears when you put 5 fingers on the screen in a ring shape.
Sent from my tomato filled Evo
There should be a ring lock screen that has the ability to run some apps without unlocking. by draging it to that app.. also a more complex one built into the UI
as well as some new acer apps that nobody has mentioned.. If you go to acer.com and find there latest news it talks about these things..
but i could be wrong. Im still waiting a few more days to see what comes about this boot loader unlock commands now available..
Its all good who knows at this point
I flashed the stock one, everything works fine. amazing in fact. the cameras are far better! especially with all the new camera features. this version is super stable, not sure what everyone is freaking out about. I havent had anything force close or any problems.

i know. but i don't need it. I'm aware some people might, but having no root doesn't mean its not stable. Ive seen a bunch of posts where people keep saying its for developers only and not stable. I'm just trying to say that its super stable. IF you don't need root, just flash the stock one. It far surpasses any custom 3.2 roms out there. even if i never get another update, i'll be happy.

quoted for truth.
i always ran a rooted stock 3.2.1 anyway, so this ICS build (i could care less about the "acer ring". in fact i'd prefer to not have it) with the root method laid out in the official thread works perfectly for me.
i can use my rooted apps and i can delete bloatware and install system apps by mounting /system as /dev/tmpdir

Just a note on what telemike said, I've talked to quite a few people who used KJY's method to revert.
So, not 100% no touchie. lol.
I only have one more question, the camera is working? and I can flash it in Revery mod my stock rom 3.2.1 unroot?

you are correct, you cannot system update (OTA) on a custom rom
you need to be completely stock

the very first thing you do is GET YR HC CPUID if you don't have a backup then do one now and copy that uid.txt file somewhere safe
be prepared for a full data wipe and I mean full!!! If you're taking this route then you have issues anyway so a full format is gonna be required at some point...
scenario one: OTA to ICS
you need to download:
iconia root and acer recovery installer
run ari and "install stock recovery us version"
then run iconia root and "unroot"
once you reboot you 'should be' completely stock
you can now system update all the way to ICS
scenario two: Flash an ICS Stock Rom
Just download one of the pre-rooted stock roms and flash that thru recovery
If you want the unlocked bootloader to install recovery then download the files and flash to your hearts content!!!!

mission success ice cream sandwich done!

your build version shows you are current to HC 3.2.1 - the next step is ICS
gingerbreak will only work on 3.0.1 from 3.1 you need Iconia Root, (i beleive)
the only real "official acer stock roms" are HC ones from vaches thread or
the ics ones from civatos thread - there are 2 stock versions here - the stock, stock one.lol and the
deodexed and zip aligned ones links (for theming and customizing with) near the bottom of the Original Post (the OP)
Your system needs to be stock as to get the ICS update,
tbh, I'd do Scenario 2 unless you know for sure you have the correct HC build path - and CPUID!!!
is it really that important??? - put it this way, it does no harm and it keeps you nice and clean, clean!!!!
You need your cpuid to do it this way
You will lose all your Data - which aint a bad thing either....!!!
If you cannot get your CPUID then its Scenario 3 a full and proper downgrade
You gotta say you've been lucky getting this far without a nandroid!! Just think of it as a way to redeem your wicked ways, lol
go back to HC, do a nandroid at full stock and retrieve your CPUID!!!!
Copy it to somewhere safe on your PC!!!!
Then decide OTA or flash Stock and hello ICS!!! Haha I wish it were as easy!!!
unlock, loadup and root it....done!
I have my ID, and I'm preparing to sell the Acer, so I want it in out-of-the-box stock form of the latest OTA. I do not want to retain root or put a custom rom on it at this point.
I don't see a Scenario 3. Iconia Root is reporting 'something is wrong you are still rooted' when attempting to unroot.
