How to get from MIUI to Official ICS?

I currently have a 19020T Nexus S running MIUI running build number MIUI-109020 on GB 2.3.5. How exactly do I get to the official ICS from Google?
I read somewhere that you need to flash to stock GB and then flash the official ICS ROM. How do I flash back to stock from MIUI? Sorry If this is kind of a noob question :\
EDIT: I check on ROM manager and I have a backup of stock GB from 3 months ago. Should I restore to that?
EDIT 2: Please close this thread. I just realized I posted this in the wrong section.

use CWM...

Download this (credit to marsrogers). This is google's stock ICS full package (not increment package, so you don't have to install stock 2.3.6 first).
Put it into the root of your sdcard, name it whatever you want, just make sure you can find it.
Boot into recovery (don't ask me how).
Select "apply update from /sdcard", then choose the zip package you downloaded before.
After it completes the installation, reboot your phone, then you have stock ICS.

Generally to roll back to stock (factory) you would install a stock rom or an EUU. This effectively wipes out CWM and installs a stock Acer bootloader.
How you have a stock non-rooted rom, WITH CWM recovery is a bit strange. Clearly you were rooted before???

Follow the instructions Vach has if the Rom needs decrypted first.
Choose the one you think is for your region (com gen 1 and 2 would probably suit most people)
turn USB Debugging to ON.
Get your current UID NUMBER! I can't stress enough how important this is. Get it, and write it down somewhere. If anything goes wrong, you will need this number. Installing Roms is not 100% successful. If you don't have your UID, and the tab gets bricked, it will be almost impossible to get it back going without the UID number.
Lots of links in the dev threads explaining how to get your UID number. Here's one, with the zip file for USB Deview (x64 and normal pc's);

Run your EUU and follow the prompts. Or you can try flashing the *.zip through CWM

It's because you have a "stock" bootloader. IE: No recovery to speak of More or less a couple of basic functions.
Looks like the latest from Acer for the 500. The update they tried to OTA the other week.

yes but now i'm with acer from now?including the ota's?
i want to know if i will get update's from them from now?and if i'm fully stocked?

We can suggest ways to make sure you will have every chance of success in receiving an ota
But no-one can give u a 100℅ guarantee that you will get it
But I am confused, u say you r on 3.2.1
But then u say u did step 4 of civato's guide - loaded an ICS rom
Did I miss something? Did u rollback?
the pictures show u as having ICS stock recovery and rom???
The best way to ensure you are as full stock as u can be, is to apply a hard reset
This will wipe ALL of yr data and you will be required to sign in to google account and setup wifi etc
1) Turn off your tablet,
2) Have the Rotation lock on your left;
3) Press Vol+ (which is closest to the rotation lock) and power on simultaneously
4) As soon as the tablet vibrates you can release the power button and you should start
to switch rotation lock left and right till you see
Erasing Userdata... Erasing Cache... Vol+ is still pressed;
5) The tablet starts the format
6) Your tablet will be as clean as it can be.
Now, try opening Acer recovery installer if it will not 'open' u r not rooted anymore
That's it, there is not alot more u can do,

hi
i didn't roll back i did step 4 according to the civato's guide
and the recovery was after i load the rom because i had cwm recovery then
after it...i have stock recovery
and now i have according to the things you said to do these:

[Q] Go to stock to get OTA ICS

I was just wondering if someone could point me to what I need to go back to stock and get OTA updates, I live in the US and would like to know which file to download, or does it matter? Do I need the full package? and which honeycomb version should I do? and which file under the version of Honeycomb should I get? or does it matter? Sorry about being n00bish I just would like to get back to stock so I can start over with this thing and get the info down about it.

Hi,
I've been using AfterOTA to go back to stock. It's very easy. I used version 1.01 which isn't available now but 1.07 should still be able to do the same thing.
Which file you use is important as they are geared for different regions of the world. A lot of the files from the Full Package thread aren't there anymore so your choices are limited. It needs to be a full package though, it should be over 300MB. An update won't work.
Basically, you use AfterOTA to install the bootloader and recovery from it's stock tab. Have the update.zip file on the root of your SD card (some of them need to be decrypted). After the tool installs the stock recovery boot by holding down the left or top volume key. That will automatically install whatever update is on the card. Version 1.01 had separate ICS and HC bootloaders I'm not sure how 1.07 is set up. Then just let the update process happen.
I doubt that you'll find anything earlier than HC 3.2 for your (our) region. If you just want a stock ICS tab you could just use that update.zip and skip HC entirely.
Good Luck

Can you point me to the stock ICS zip we would use for our US tabets? I found a page on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 but they dont have an ICS Full Package and I don't know which HC 3.2 one to use. it says to look at my current version but I am on a flexreaper ROM. I want to remove the recovery and bootloader and go completely stock and upgrade to OTA ICS so I can then run After OTA to get a fresh new recovery and ICS bootloader. thanks for your help.

My stock 1.104.02_COM_GEN1 OTA'd to 1.033.00_PA_CUS1.
From Vache's thread the Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2 file will update to 1.033.00_PA_CUS1. I don't think this file needs to be decrypted.
1. Download that file. Put the update.zip file on the root of your SD card.
2. In AfterOTA on the stock tab choose A50x. This should install the HC bootloader and standard recovery.
3. Disconnect the tablet. Power down the tablet. Reboot by holding the left or top volume key while pushing the power button. This should start installing the update.zip on the card. If you wind up in CWM then AfterOTA didn't work and you'll need to downgrade.
4. Try to boot after the update. It will probably get stuck at the logo. If it does you'll need to hard reset (bottom volume key + power + slide rotation locker). It takes a while for the first boot and it might crash once while setting everything up.
5. You should be in HC 3.2 from here you can OTA all the way to ICS. You'll need to install the ACER update enhancer from the market b4 it will see the ICS update.
I hope this works for you.

CWM Recovery booted, instead of flashing the update.zip, How do I do it now?

I don't know why AfterOTA isn't working for you. I really thought it would. Oh well, Gersma says it's only for OTA. There are other people who probably know better, but I think you're going to have to get a stock bootloader on there before you can use any of those files. My guess its that you'll need to follow the downgrade guide. Search on "rollback".
I hope you find a better solution, but the rollback isn't that hard.
Good luck.

what if I apply the update.zip from CWM using the "apply update from sd card"? would that just force the up date and wipe everything with the stock bootloader and ROM that is in the update.zip?

I don't think that file will work from CWM. Maybe one of the stock ICS leaks would work. If you can load one from CWM it can load the BL and it will replace the recovery when it reboots. Then you should be able to use AfterOTA to return to stock and upgrade through the OTA's.

Can no longer flash ROMS/ROOT

Hey guys, I am having some issues flashing roms through CWM as well as rerooting.
A bit of backround info
Device: GT-P7510
Started with latest OTA stock rom. I was wanting to use titanium backup to uninstall some bloatware.
Rooted successfully following the wifi only version forum post on how to root.
Did what i wanted, but now i wanted more.
Decided to try to get Jellybean on my device. Loaded into CWM - flashed - successful.
Now i ran into the issue of no flash support - needed for school work i do on my tablet. Tried to follow guide on installing flash.. did not work, tried the titanium backup method as well with no prevail.
Decided to flash back to ICS. I chose the CM9 ROM.
Loaded into CWM - wiped data / cache/ dalvik / Installed rom from SD card - flashed successfully
I noticed that my home button was not working. so after another data wipe etc. and re flash of the rom it did.
I then could not get googleplay to function just kept getting server error no matter what i tried. I tried installing apk from the web. did not work. and tried loading gapps.zip through odin. Installed other google apps that did work, just not google play..
So i was like holy hell. what to do now. Tried installing another ICS ROM ( the one that mimics jellybean)... It fails instantly after unloading package or something of that nature. I tried about 3 different roms and get the same issue.
So i then followed the guide to unroot - it required flashing the stock ROM through CWM . I tried this but got a status 7 error. Not really sure what that was so i found another guide.
The alternative guide had me load the original ROM for the device via odin. Worked great!!! I thought i was in clear sailing. Updated to the OTA ICS ROM. And then went to follow the root guide again. It acted as if it was rooted, but upon reboot option in CWM it says root access might have been lost.. do you want to fix. I tried both no and yes. Reguardless i do not gain root.
I tried flashing other roms through CWM - they all fail instantly ( not with any specific error messages ) just says aborted.
Any idea on what i may be doing wrong?

What version of cwm u using ?
5.5.0.4 works best for our tabs coz he has not got some verification for unsigned zips something like that .
Hmm i think the problem is when u updated ota it took your root away so i would suggest flashing cf-root again via odin
Just guessing though really strange, perhaps back up data on sd card and format it too i know its a pain but could help aswell
;/
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app

I was on 6. something. So that may be my issue.
I did try an older version v4.0.0.4 which was included in the guide i used but that did not seem to work either. I will download that version and see what happens.
As far as flashing cf-root. I am going to do a forum search but the method i used used the file Samsung_galaxy_tab_10.1_root.zip through CWM.

it is always risk to Odin back to stock and update OTA I have bricked 2 android devices by doing this .......once you install custom roms it is always better not to install official update ..... ur device is not rooted properly just go to unrooted stock rom if possible and later get root.zip then try rooting ur tab using it .......and this might help ...... forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971..........

Please don't start another *how do I root* thread there are dozens if not hundreds of postings on here explaining in great detail how to achieve root.

sorry but....
1. I ask for the best and easy way to root android 4
2.also for the best firmware.
thank you anyway...

To get root & custom recovery, the following methods are reported to be working with the latest Asus ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1689193
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1681155
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1688012
The first method ( [TOOL]PERI-0.4 One click root+recovery/fix-bootloops+soft-bricks ALL Devices V0.4) works well for me on TF101G with latest ICS . Just install it on the PC, run the .BAT file and follow the instructions to root and install Custom Recovery and Root / SU on the Transformer.
The only issue I've had is that this custom Recovery won't seem flash the ASUS stock ROM for some reason. So what I do now is use the above tool to get root and Custom Recovery, then use that to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.1.4 NoTouch Hybrid from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1855686 - click the Download link and get the cwm-6.0.1.4-notouch-hybrid.zip file (apparently the Touch version is currently broken).
From CWM recovery you should be able to flash any custom ROM and kernel etc., and also return to stock by flashing the ASUS stock ROM from their download site (make sure you select the right one for your model and unzip it first - for some reason they put the zip ROM inside another zip).
If you do return to stock, don't forget you'll also lose root and custom recovery so you'll need to start over.
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.4.3 3G which seems pretty stable. I've also heard good things about Revolver, but I couldn't get 3G working on the 3G version.
Good luck.
