You're going to brick your tab if you keep on in the direction you're heading.
Here's the thread to get you back to 3.1, then you can root and flash a pre-rooted 3.2

Looking for Stock 3.2.1 HC ROM...

Hey guys,
I'm currently rooted on 3.0.1 stock ROM, and would like to update to 3.2.1 stock ROM rooted. I found a few links but don't know if I need to be on 3.1 version or later. Can someone help out and find me a stock 3.2.1 HC ROM? Thanks for the help.
**Also looked into settings for system update and I get a message saying my device is up to date, so I can't update to 3.2.1 through OTA.**
Rooted 3.2.1

Trying it out now. Thanks. I'll get back later and report how it goes.
EDIT:
Thanks it worked! Was very easy. But is there anyway to root 3.2.1? Because I noticed it's not rooted. Can I get a link please? Thanks.
That should have rooted it

[Q] Updating to ICS from 3.2.1 rooted custom ROM

Hello,
I have a custom 3.2.1 ROM (so i have CWM) and i'm trying to revert to stock 3.1/3.2/3.2.1 for an easier upgrade path to ICS (via OTA) but all the links to the update.zip's are dead. Does anyone have a working link, and if not, can anyone tell me how to update to ICS from where i'm at?
Thanks!

So I can simply flash the update.zip from Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 to get ICS?

Back up EFS before flashing 4.4.2 - it puts 2 files on the SD Card. Or use TWRP to back up EFS whilst on JB.

Bro, you can Unlock unofficially bootloader & flash TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
And you can update stock ROM while keeping Magisk & TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...to/rom-update-stock-firmware-keeping-t3808269
Both threads are tested and working on most of the device include mine.
Gud luck.
