Hi,
I installed the EOS 4.0.3 ICS ROM on my Xoom WiFi, but before I did that, I did a Nandroid backup of the rooted honeycomb ROM that I had before. I don't know how it happened, but I accidentally deleted that backup. Now I wanted to restore that backup so I can get the OTA upgrade to the official ICS. The build number that I had in stock honeycomb was HTK75D, I don't know if that matters or not but I just wanted to say it just in case. So all that I really want to do is to install a ROM on my Xoom that will allow me to get the official OTA upgrade to ICS, and then reroot again. If there is any way to do this please leave a comment. Thank you.
You can find the stock firmware at MotoDev. It also includes the fastboot commands to flash the images. Re-locking the bootloader I think would be optional to getting the update. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I looked there and I couldn't find img for the build number HTK75D. Where can I find that one?
Thank you for replying
You will need to just install the images for the Wifi Xoom and then just update it to the current release.

Can you just install any build number, or does it have to be one spicific one?
Again. Flash the OFFICIAL images.
Stop worrying about build number crap. Official images will go through the ota process right away up until at least the last honeycomb version. If your device is already on the ice cream sandwich roll out list it will get that as well.
For a US Wifi Xoom, you want this. It is for build HWI69. Once you have it flashed you'll just need to keep checking for system updates until you're back on the current release. There are no more updated images at this time. It's possible that if you wait, they will release an image that contains the ICS release, but there is no guarantee.
Can i still use the universal Xoom root for the ICS update, or is there any other way to root when it has been updated to ICS, or can I not root once I have updated to ICS?
I believe that universal root works with ICS.

After doing the Netflix patch I am unable to do a OTA update.

The build number is now reading

When i do a check for update i get this message

Please, any way to revert? Of course, being the noob that I am i did not make a backup of the files that were edited by the patch.
luckily when it updated to 3.1 I took a picture!

So given that I now know what build i had on here could I go to this thread

and with this package
Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=63
extract the Update.zip and potentially revert my iconia?
Thoughts before I go ahead and do it?
Oh great!
The .22 build is no longer there!
Found this though, but would prefer a verified file.

I believe all you need is an original build.prop from the correct build you were running. If you can find a download of .22, you can extract the build.prop (in /system folder) and swap it back.
Thanks!
I grew a pair and decided to try flashing a rom. I flashed the newest .38 (i think that was the update number) build of stock and we're all happy.
Sweet, I was just gonna say that if you did a nand backup revert back in recovery.
ya, sadly i did not to any backup, except my full backup i did before putting in the new roms.
silly newbness of me.
I had reverted to the .22 build that is available through clockwork, but it still would not allow me to do the update. it downlaoded but failed on install.
I saw what version it was updating to so i just installed that through CWM andthen reapplied the netflix patch. so i'm still sitting at that stupid Xoom version number until i decide to try the next update.
Sigh.
i just wish Netflix would recognize our tablet, #assesoffire.
I have been getting this update for my TF101 every few days or so. It downloads an update, then when I click on install update it reboots, starts loading the update and fails halfway through the intall giving me the sad android with the triangle exclamation point. I read on another thread that you have to clear the cache in DMClient, which I do every time this happens. But why does it continue to send me this stupid update? When I followed the previous thread I mentioned, I was able to see that the update was actually meant for the prime, not the TF101. Just wish they would stop sending me an update that makes me get my hopes up for ICS.
Anybody else having this happen?

haha, yeah if this is what ICS is going to be like, then no thanks. I am not really having any issues with honeycomb at the moment (after overclocking). But like most everybody else, I can't wait to try out something shiny and new.

That's probably the way to go, but I've had no luck thus far. I'm on stock Rom with Netformer 1.6 kernel. I tried doing this with OTA Rootkeeper. Unrooted, installed update, got same error. Then rebooted and re-rooted with the OTA Rootkeeper app. Does this mean I need to revert back to original kernel? Everything has been pretty good on Netformer, and it's definitely more snappy than stock.

Which stock ROM are you on? You might be getting the OTAs if you aren't running the latest (8.6.5.21?). The custom kernel probably installed a kernel module that is preventing the update from flashing.
Can you grab the OTA? I'm curious what they are sending you. It will be in /cache/dlpkgfile- you can copy that someplace and upload it. I think these should do it, but PM if you need help with terminal commands.
In terminal, type:
cp /cache/dlpkgfile /Removable/MicroSD/
OR with adb:
adb pull /cache/dlpkgfile
Here's the zip. Maybe you can tell me what this update really is. I guess my current stock Rom version is 8.6.5.19. Sounds like the kernel is preventing me from updating. The real question is, do I want to install any of these updates from Asus? Any disadvantage that you know of?
That file is the US 8.6.5.21 OTA. I lost track of the all the root methods, but I thought that Nachoroot was working with .21. I've never used OTA rootkeeper, so I can't comment on if that will work.
It's kinda odd how you are getting it now? There is a rooted version of the stock rom you can flash via CWM so that you don't have to unroot. It will have the stock kernel and you will keep whatever bootloader you have now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409584
EDIT: doaist has posted CWM friendly versions of the OTAs as well- there are much smaller files since they patch the existing rom. Look in the development forum- The OTA came out around Christmas, so it will be after that.
Thanks for the info. I'll flash the updated rom and see how it goes.

You're running an image that has different hash values than Asus original image has... that is why Asus validation does not work. Hence, you should revert back to the original image Asus provides.
This answer have been given ALOT of times in other threads already.
I rooted mine with nachoroot on the 21 update. It works fine.

You didn't do anything wrong. Acer suspended the ICS updates for awhile. Looks like they may be regionally starting again.
Just wait,.

Have you installed the incona tab update enhancement from the play store
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the reply, yes i had installed the update enhancement from play store.
I have now solved the problem so i thought i'd share what i found.
The problem I had:-
I was rooted, but wanted to go back to stock to try the stock OTA ICS. I flashed a stock 3.2 full package from vache's page. The one I went with was 7.006.01_com_gen1. Carried out successfully, however no updates available when doing the system update search. waited a week still nothing, even tried factory reset to clear everything out.
Solution:-
I got impatient so flashed the unstable 3.0.1 rom intending to root again.
before rooting i tried flashing other stock roms (no reason it shouldn't work i reasoned). Successfully flashed full package 4.010.38_com_gen1 (vache's page). tried OTA updates from there and it was successful!!
OTA'd to 7.006.01, then 7.014.01, then on to ICS
Conclusion:-
the difference appears to be the version of android 3.2, I can only assume that 7.006.03 isn't supported in the UK where as 7.006.01 is. If i'd flashed that one in the first place I assume the updates would have worked.
Hey, can you point me to the files and instructions on how to get this done? I rooted it to 7.006.05 long before using thor rom I believe. Not very familiar with the rooting game, but I'm still unable to get ICS update OTA.
FYI, Acer a500 8gb model US.

My understanding from reading around a few threads is that OTA tends not to work if you are rooted and/or running CWM. Not sure on process of un-rooting as i've not done it. But i'm guessing one solution would be flash a stock version of same rom, then do OTA updates.

Well, Acer closed off all the files, so we no longer get to them.
Vache, had to get rid of his server for personal reasons, so those links are also no good. Eventually I suspect he'll get things in order and we'll get some of those links back.
Which rom are you looking for? ICS or HC? I have a few, some full HC roms, and some ICS patch updates.
Remember, a lot of people live in different times zones, and also have jobs and family, so sometimes it takes awhile to reply
MD
Thanks MD. I totally understand everyone's got other committments, I have both of those commitments too I'm looking for stock unrooted HC 3.2.1 ideally, but 3.2 is fine (I can then do OTA update to get to 3.2.1). I'm in Australia, so I think the rom I need is Acer_A501_4.066.29_COM_GEN1, but any COM_GEN1 for A501 would be appreciated.
BTW Currently I'm running your fantastic and stable 3.2.1 Alexandra III v1.1, thanks for you hard-work in putting that together.
Well I got my hands on a brand-new A501 from Acer, just unboxed. So I will now try to find out how to extract an image of the ROM before doing anything else. Any tips appreciated!
EDIT: Before anyone posts a http://lmgtfy.com/ link, I found it should be just a matter of using DD from the android sdk.
EDIT #2: Hmm looks like I need root access to use DD, can someone point me in the right direction for dumping a full image without having to root the tablet first? The tablet is currently running Android 3.2.1, kernel 2.6.36.3+ and build Acer_A501_4.066.31_COM_GEN1. Thanks.

Rooting the 3.2 is going to be a pain, and you will lose the current image. If I remember correctly, you have to "roll back" to an unstable 3.0.1 and use Iconiaroot.apk. Not what you want in this case,
The other option, was to use Timmy Deans 3.2 root kit, but then again, it installs a 3.2 EUU for an a500 on your tab. Again, not what you want.
You could try the newer "gingerbreak", although I myself would not go this way, only because I don't trust methods that aren't approved by us devs. But would use only as a last chance.
EDIT: Important note. Whatever you try, Get the current UID number before you do it. It's the only safeguard if things go bad. You can run USBDview (search the forums) to get it, or they have several other tools to get it.

Yep, would you believe I did that process on *13* different A501's last weekend in order to flash your Alexandra III rom, so I know that process well, and yep not an option anyway.

I agree this is a last chance since it would mean I'd need to reverse the changes done by that app to remove su and and superuser apk after dumping the image.

Hi,
I just happened to read this thread and already downloaded your official ROM. I am also using your 3.2.1 Alexandra III v1.1 and planning to revert it back to the official firmware. At first, I try flashing the SD_Acer_A501_1.309.02_COM_GEN1 ROM and succeeded. However, when I try to update, I always get the "your device is up to date" message. But now, I am planning to flash my A501 with your ROM and hopefully will be able to update my A501 normally. I want to say thank you for uploading this ROM.
I flashed the ROM MD uploaded, worked fine, thanks MD. However I also get 'Your device is up to date' when running 'System Update'. Currently the tablet is running Android 3.2, but 3.2.1 is definitely available, as that is what I have running on my other A501 I just recently unboxed. I'm guessing this is because http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com is offline, hence no acer tablet can be updated right now!?! I also tried vache's OTA Check tool but it also says no update available. I guess that's for the same reason.
For me, my problem is solved since I can live with 3.2 for now, however if anyone wants 3.2.1 stock ROM for A501, I happy to have a go at gingerbreak-ing my 3.2.1 stock tablet in order to dump an image.
Well, it seems http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com is back ONLINE :laugh: So many of those links on vache's post are working again. I'm interested if anyone has a way to construct the file name need for a particular package/update, e.g. what would be the file name for the full package for Acer_A501_4.066.31_COM_GEN1. It seems each file name a post-fix with some numbers and hash (e.g. http://cdn.a1.futuredial.com/Acer_A501_0.000.00_4.037.01_EMEA_TMPL_1316069683762_98ed1d97.zip). Has anyone tried to work out how that post-fix is generated? This would allow us to get any package easily...

Easy as pie. Flash the stock 3.1 (Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1.zip) AFTER WIPING SYSTEM/CACHE/DATA/DELVIC, reboot, then ota to ICS. After you do the first OTA to 3.2 and it reboots it will say a Flashing Bootloader message then reboot with all stock everything.
Here's a link to it in my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fpdy13u4ufec461/Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1.zip
That was along the lines of what i thought... but i did not want to just do it without checking.
Thanks for the link and post.
Hi there,
Did you get back to stock ICS using this method?
I want to get back to stock ICS so I can use AFTEROTA to unlock my bootloader the "easy" way. - I tried installing some "stock" roms last night but (3.2) but none of them offered me the ICS OTA.
I assume that to do the OTA I just go into the settings under About Tablet >System updates and check from there?
Are there any regional restrictions on the OTA? - I know Australia is sometimes behind with android updates.

Just grab that rom from my post and flash it in CWM after wiping.

You are correct. System/about/update all the way to ICS.

I have no idea... But I doubt it.
Thanks JdgM3NT4L,
I installed the the rom but when I go into System/about/update it comes up with:
No update
Your device is up to date.
I did not log in to my google account - but I doubt that would have anything to do with the Acer update.
Any suggestions?

Give it a few days. Also, check the market and make sure the Iconia Update Enhancement is shown as installed. It should be. If not, install it.

Thanks MD,
Will give it a shot.
If waiting it out takes more time that you want you could go to blackthund3r's thread in the Dev section here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560, and grab the OTA's.
I have no idea about getting OTA's when not in the United States. It's seems strange to me because immediately after booting my tab and updating the Enhancement App my updates are available right away.
Please share your results and what you had to do to get updated. Especially if anything is different than expected. I'm hoping that it OTA's for you without a problem.
Thank you.
Still waiting on the update - I am not in a rush. Will let you know when it comes through
Thanks for the help
Still waiting on the OTA....
Am getting impatient. I think I will try this:

reading the thread it says that they should be flashed by the stock recovery - however my recovery is not stock - it is touch based on Ra recovery.
how do I go about flashing these if my recovery is not stock?
Finally gave up waiting and manually flashed the OTA. Then it was easy to use afterota to install bootloader and recovery. not sure why I didn't get the OTA from Acer.
