awesomeface!
About time.
They'll probably update all the N:S's first, then move on to the N:1's.
I'd say I'm a week or two away yet, but at least it's been announced.

It's about time! Can't wait.

haha i'll probably just wait for a good rom to come out

With CM7 apparently getting the Wonk fixed tonight.
Battery percentage being merged in CM7 tonight.
And now this I must say I am excited. I am also anticipating some new open source 2d/3d drivers from Google and some hardware acceleration love for the interface on the N1.
Finally, with the XOOM having it's bootloader unlocked, awesome Android day!

Hopefully, existing root methods continue to work.

Can anyone find a downloadable link of the update file?

It will roll out at the same time

Just installed aLogCat just in case lol

I'll believe it when I see it...

google has restored my faith. about damn time!

also, someone has to add in a2sd+ when it rolls out...

From previous experience, you guys know if you need a "virgin" N1 to receive the OTA?
I know I never got any OTA from google myself...Think that my prop file is blocking it...

Just in time for 3.0!

Just finished ICS update, can i restore root?

Just like the title says, any methods for restoring root? Maybe nachoroot? Im trying to get the sixaxis app working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What update, do you mean to tell me you just updated your Asus Transformer (TF101, not prime) with an OTA Asus Stock version of ICS? Because you would be the first if this is true.

pretty sure he is talking about the tf201..

There are 3 possibilities here, either:
1. You are mistaking your Asus Transformer Prime TF201, for the Asus Trabnsformer TF101 like the above poster said.
2. You are mistaking the last Honeycomb firmware update from Asus for the ICS firmware update.
3. You really got the update for your TF101 (not likely) But I'm hopeful

Well, unfortunately right now, the only way you could have kept root is if you had done some steps before hand.... You'll have to wait for an ICS exploit, or downgrade, re-root, use OTA rootkeeper, then update to ICS.... If you have ICS though, don't go and try to downgrade... in case you got the OTA by accident.
No one else, inlcuding the devs has the ICS update yet. If you do indeed have it, and the rest of us start getting it, a root exploit should be following within a week or two..
What is your location geographically? (country/city)
Could you post some screenshots to confirm?
If it is indeed true, we should try and pull it from your device so the devs can make a flashable ROM.

How exactly do i do a screenshot again? I dont have the dock btw. I know there was an app i could use when i was rooted

A screenshot can be performed by pressing and holding the running applications or multitask button, it looks like 2 rectangles. Otherwise, just take a picture with your phone or other camera and upload it asap, you can understand that people are anxious to see if your claims are legit or not.

I think ICS would still have the same function.
Instructions for Screenshots without any app:
Settings > then go to Asus custom settings > Check box for screenshots.
Once enabled, hold down recent apps tab and it'll take a screenshot.

Hold down Power and Volume Down if it's like the G Nexus it should take a screenshot. Go!

Does the build number show ad IML74K?

[XOOM 2] MOTOROLA XOOM 2 ROOT.

IT'S FINALLY HERE.
THE ROOT FOR THE MOTO XOOM2!!
Thanks to extensive research by Dan Rosenberg he finally found the exploit that worked with the Xoom 2.
This will work for both the 10.1 and the 8.2 Media edition
He has made the tool public for everyone to use immediately!
Download from HERE.
All you need to do is make sure you're device is connected vis USB debugging and click Run.bat(Windows) or Run.sh(Mac/Linux), wait for the file to go through the three phases of rooting. The tablet will reboot 3 times along with the three phases.
Once the file has shown that you can press any key to exit, you are finished!
You can use the tablet as normal but with root access!
Also, can we have a section for the Motorola Xoom 2 please..?​

I have already posted about this.

It is becoming clear that Xoom 2, xyboard, and FE need a board to post on. Personally, I'd be happy to help get some development rolling. Of course I'd never part with my og xoom . Ill talk with moderation and see what's going on.

Thanks, is good news. Now we just need that we have updates to fix bugs, and if it can be ics ...

Acer has updated their website with launch dates for ICS. Looks like they will roll ICS out on April 27 for US / Canada.
Check the Acer website for the update, I can't seem to post the link. Finally we have what we need.

A501 owners might not be too happy though. But thats where XDA comes in

Finally.

Finally... Although I wanted it to be a surprise, after all the wait.

Tablet PCs Acer's A100 and A500 tablets getting Ice Cream Sandwich on April 27th
"With April nearly over, it's high time Acer came clean on when exactly its promised Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the A100 and A500 would land. Today the company did just that, revealing that US owners of either tablet can opt-in for their frozen makeovers starting on the 27th. Bad news if you're rocking AT&T's variant of the latter though, as the listing on the company's support page for the A501 says "no update planned." Those not tied Ma Bell can expect Acer's skin -- including that ring launcher -- grafted onto Google's latest, much like the A200's ICS upgrade back in February. Already pumped? Go ahead and bookmark that source link. Do it, we won't judge."

A500 ICS-udate for german users in late april confirmed
I've got the following mail from support.
Antwort (Acer Online-Unterstützungscenter) - 18/04/2012 13:42
A : Das Update auf Android 4.0 ist für Ende April geplant. Allerdings gibt es hierzu noch keinen genauen Termin.
Translate:
The update to Android 4.0 is planned for late April. However, there is still no exact date for this purpose.

Well, lets hope Acer has solved the Tegra driver issues that have plagued other devices running ICS like the Asus Transformer. We shall soon see.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket

I am currently running the leaked version of the 4.0.3 when it first was available. I flashed it so I have no root, etc. Now that the update is coming out, will I be able to flash right over it, or do I need to root and downgrade back to 3.2.1 to be able to update to the official 4.0.3? I highly doubt I will get a OTA if Im already running the leaked 4.0.3 right? Please advise. I ask because I cant seem to find the official 3.2.1 rom and a working link for the drivers and such to be able to downgrade it.

Huh? Seems that the leaked ICS roms for the A500 had no such problems with tegra 2 unless I missed something.

Cannot find a date for us in the UK or Europe

I don't know specifically about the UK, but I guess it's just going to be the same as for Europe.
For France the website "Les Numériques" said it's starting tomorrow until the 27th of april.
http://www.lesnumeriques.com/tablet...-jour-android-4-0-ics-en-approche-n24110.html
I don't know their source, but it looks that the update started yesterday for the A100 and when we look at the Acer America's planning there is a two-day delay between the A100 ICS release and the A500 ICS release, so it seems possible for it to roll out from tomorrow on.

ahahhahahahahaha!!!!!
Finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im now F*cking love you man for tell us about it
im sure that all the a500 owners are wait to long for it

Its very unknown what will happen. If you will even get a fota notice to update or not. then if you do get the notice will it install. will it fail due to unknown version. I WOULD SAY if you are pushed the update Proceed with caution. But if there is a boot loader unlock mech in the update as expected They may not do the data checking as in the past boot loaders..
SO The answer in short is NOBODY KNOWS Until its OUT.
Hope this lack of information is Helpful.

Sounds good to me. Not that the leak isn't any good, just would rather have the official if I don't plan on rooting anyways. I'll wait and see if I read about nightmares or sucess.
Thanks for your reply

I just read on twitter (@Acer_NL) that tomorrow Acer will start unrolling official ICS for all Dutch owners. Maybe some devs could look into this..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app

I remember my last update was from a link, not automatically pushed to my device. So as soon as an official update is available, I think no matter where you are, you eventually will get it. I don't mind to wait a month or so more, but a definite time table makes me feel settled that we will get that.

You guys know a lot more about this stuff then I do. Im only good at following instructions. Rooted many things and many custom roms, just not on the a500. Just the leak and that's nothing special as all I did was flash the stock rom. I'll wait to hear from the pros.

Interesting I used tegraowners black thunder root 6.0 and successfully rooted my tablet after official updated Acer a500. My build number is the 1.033 Gen 2. However on this black thunder root my build number is not listed as supported but it worked and rooted my tablet. Does it make any difference?.. also what is the remount app for?
