Hello ppl at XDA After my update to 2.3 Gingerbread I like to know if other people having the same issue so, I am trying to access 3.0 sense but when its time to go into Recovery mode I get Triangle shape and Exclamation point any ideals to fix this.
You would probably get a better response in Q&A. How did u update? Sounds to me like you are no longer rooted.

Yes, you used the OTA update, and have the OTA recovery. If you are S-Off, you will be able to root again. You should be able to flash another ROM through bootloader. If you are S-On, you are out of luck. Do a few searches on rooting hte new 2.3, and you will get filledi n.
I am S-on i been searching all damn day to find correct patches I will have to wait when unrevoked updates
Hi,
I just want to know if with the 2.3.3 the root process is diffrent, or just do the same thing as the old 2.2.1.
Anyone as already tried?
funny story its non existent, it cant be rooted and wont be for a very long time if ever
I think you're wrong, cause maybe just needs to downgrade the firmware as usual.
But I need someone who already did it.
if you can figure out how to downgrade it, go ahead. But as of yet, there's no way to root the official gingerbread update.

And how about the "goldcard" ? create one, and then install just lower version via recovery or something... I've read somewhere that u can install lower builds of OTA and then root the phone ... will that work? or i just missed something during lecture...
I believe that the desire hd gingerbread update has been rooted by means of downgrading. We just need to wait for someone to figure it out for us DZ users

I did that for rooting the 2.2.1 and downgranding to 2.2
Hope works for this one too.
Goldcard won't work, yet.
Stay tuned though, very soon a temp-root will be released, which will allow you to downgrade.

so if the official ICS arrives i wont have problem updating it.
I don't think rooting will affect your ability to the update
Realy. Im just afraid because when i rooted my htc sensation there was a 14 mb update when i install it i always vet boot loob or stock. Im scared when i root galaxy note. I will still get the ICS with no problem. Can you confirm this? Sorry for noob.
well....if you follow the steps in the following thread...you can always unroot after you root your phone.

but to my limited noobie knowledge...if you don't flash you phone to a custom rom and just simply root...you should be fine.
rooting is to just give you special access to your phone.....

Not necessarily!
Often, updates are provided in the form of patch files, rather than as complete ROMs. If you've rooted, chances are you have made some changes to the system partition which will render the patch file useless as it is generally expecting the files in the system partition of have been untouched.
My advice is not to worry about updates too much - when the official updates do drop, within a few hours there will be custom ROMs that include the updates suitable for flashing via CWM etc. In addition, if you do accept an official update, you may find yourself unable to root as the exploits used to gain root may well have been patched.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks for your help.
Im asking this because i have htc sensation and i root it and made a nandroid backup. When the 14mb update arrive when i install it my phone just got stock on htc logo.
If i root using the zergrush is it much safe?
Im affraid when i root my note i wont able to get the official ICS.
(I only root just to install the onhere maps by brute because my country is still not activated the google navigation)

I just rec'd the new A500 8Gb version that already has 3.2 installed. So this is not the normal 3.2 OTA, which maybe the same. Don't know how to confirm.
I have read so many posts that appears to be rooting instructions for 3.0 and not for 3.2. I see one Thread that had instructions on how to root a OTA 3.2 but the instructions even says will take 1.5hrs. I have rooted tablets/phones before and i know it doesn't take that long and don't want to lose data.
I don't want to install a custom rom just so i can be rooted. I just want to root this tablet and i don't want to downgrade the bootloader.
Can anyone please point me to the correct thread or simply let me know if rooting is currently out of the question for this scenerio.
im on the same page, just picked up the 3.2 from costco.. A little common sense points me and you in the direction of downgrading to the 3.0.1.. Then bumping up to the rooted 3.2.. its not a one click solution but it makes complete sense..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
im doing it as i write this let you know my success..
Yeah I have read that an option is to downgrade to 3.0, root then go to 3.2. Guess i'm waiting on a short version that will root stock 3.2 and it doesn't make sense to me to go back only to go up versions of rom for this alternative route.
lol its data, not like your trading in your new car for a 87 nova.. Downgrade is for exploit access only as soon as root --> update recovery ---> flash rom you will be right back to 3.2..
:-/
anyways method 2 works.. did it in 15 minutes cause i got distracted..
good luck waiting for ur 1 click
cool, so i guess this is the best solution for now....i'll do the same.
IMPORTANT : Make sure you download the acer recovery installer while still on 3.2 as you WILL have problems accessing android market once you install the UNSTABLE 3.01...
Its pretty hard to hard brick but please , don't take that as a challenge...

I found out the hard way too, got the OTA update of 3.2 installed, then got the acer recovery installer downloaded. Was a colossal waste of time...
Thought I'd let others know, easier than having to stuff around yourself and hoping you can recover...
Thx for the heads up guys, i did install the acer recovery. Now i know why you need it since that 3.0 downgrade is very unstable. I did manage to root, install CWM and flashed a 3.2 rom.
I used this... straight root no downgrade required.

I don't have enough posts to add to the thread in the Dev forums, so I will ask here.
My Iconia A500 is not rooted, I don't feel that I needed it to be rooted most of the time. Now that is out of the way, I have questions.
Is there a version of this Dev leak that I can flash if I don't care about rooting or recovery? I believe the version he leaked is a CWM or RA recovery flashable only, so I would need the original untouched release.
If I do flash this, I should be able to flash future versions correct, or possibly the final version of the ICS release?
Essentially I would like to use this release on my tablet without caring about root or recovery, but I also don't want to screw myself for future releases.
Is it possible to reflash back to an old Honeycomb release?
You might not be able to post in the dev thread, but you can read it. All your answers are in there, most are even in the OP!

If you don't care about root or recovery, than it is best you stay stock, and wait for OTA updates. This will keep you relatively safe.
Take a deep Breath this could turn out to have issues and not be complete.. There is only reports that it is flash-able.This does not guarantee that is will Run properly.As its a Acer development rom leaked to the public..
I will try it after there are 2 or 3 more days of comments.If it seems to be working well.I must have Root. Hope the post above mine has helped.
JUST Think if it does not pan out you can be one that said IM SMART I WAITED..
GOOD LUCK . DONT CROSS THE STREET WITHOUT LOOKING BOTH WAYS.
This rom is very easy to be flashed on the a500, dear erica_renee. I've done it tonight and I did come, like you, from the latest version of the unrooted Acer stock ROM.
In order to do this, you must:
- flash from your PC, a rooted rom version 3.2 on your tablet with the little app "DotNetDetecter". You can download it from somewhere on XDA Iconia A500's developers threads but I don't remember in which thread I found it.
- install the app "Acer Recovery" (free on the market)
- download the zip of RA recovery (You'll find the link in the Vache's thread) and install this recovery from your CMW recovery you've installed with the rooted rom 3.2 in the first step
- download and install from the RA recovery the ROM ICS that you can download on the website of Vache... Choose the "RA recovery" version of this ROM.
Very pleasant version, this ICS ROM ... but the low volume defect when I record sounds is still present...
Again and again I'm more and more convinced that this problem comes from the LOW QUALITY of these microphones !!!

are you saying that you flashed the cwm version of this on a a500.or do you have a501 Or are you using the non rooted full rom version.. And yes the mic issue i agree with . Considering going to Black box and buying upgraded mics and install . but i dont use it that much.
I have an Iconia A500, renee and I flashed the leaked Acer ICS stock ROM that Vache proposes on his website.
The link is on the first page of his thread.

ok .
now can you go to the root for a200 thread and follow that procedure and see if it will ROOT For you..
this could be the solution if so..
Thanks in advance...
I'd try it myself, but I don't want to lose my current bootloader and the ability to flash custom roms, so I'll just wait.
I'm just waiting for someone to confirm they can return to 3.2.1 via apx mode, once confirmed ill flash it

Wow that was good even for blonde chic..
Why do you fear not being able to go back to honeycomb ?
ICS a real improvement, for me. Google chrome is a great browser too.
These are my first impressions anyway. Very good, very pleasant.
But, if you're not in a hurry, you can wait one more month, of course.

Just in case anything happens it would be good to know if we can revert. When you flashed did you lose all your data, and anything not working in the rom?

I MUST have root access. that is all..
may i ask if you have checked the fallow..
GPS.
Can you tether to a android ad-hoc network
does Ti Backup work.
Does email exchange work.
I could go on but i will not .. THANKS IN Advance
No root on ICS (yet?).
I guess that you will loose it as well when you will install this Rom as an update by OTA...
I don't really need a root on my tablet, personaly, except when I want to test a custom Rom.
There is maybe a solution to keep the root anyway. Check in the thread of Vache.
Apart from that, everything works better than ever for me (gps, tether through my htc Desire, caméra, etc ... except the recurrent prob with the microphones ).
I don't use Titanium backup (that needs root, isn't it?) but MyBackup pro.
Email exchange? Do you mean the app working with Outlook on Windows? I don't use it neither. I use gmail and I import my other accounts on gmail. Sorry. But my email accounts (pop) work perfectly well.
Everything works very well actually with this Rom. I didn't notice any problem till now. No way to go back to HC...
I wonder if Thor has this yet. He is probably the best a500 ICS dev right now.

Just to let you know. I have flashed with the full 4.0.3 (not CWM/rooted one), and then used the first method here to restore back to 3.0.1, then installed CWM to install a ROM without any problems. I have since updated to 4.0.3 full again as it's by far the best ROM for me.
Ny the way, I noticed this morning that the ability to disable bloatware has been added to the stock ics rom via app section of settings, so one less reason for me to need root.

This leak flies. Its awesome. Actually makes me not care about losing recovery. I really couldn't ask for more from this. At least we know there's a way back if we really need it.
