Looking for Stock 3.2.1 HC ROM... - Acer Iconia A500

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

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

[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?

Going back to Stock Rom (bootloader v8)

Hey guys,
I searched the board many times, but I can't find an tutorial which explains some steps to get completely back to stock Rom.
At the moment I'm using the cm10.1 with the same v8 bootloader.
Is it just enough to flash stock ROM ?
Will this reset the bootloader and recovery to Stock?
Best regards, Markus

AW: Going back to Stock Rom (bootloader v8)
Oh wow. Why didn't I find this on my own? I searched pretty long because I was sure that someone must have written a guide, but I can't find it.
I'll try this and report later.
Thanks mate.

Couple things I need to know. What you are on (kk or LP) and whether or not you have taken the OTA or not.

Alright im down
Roms are uploading now. 15 minutes or so and PM's will go out with links. So now would be a great time to do a backup
I will test.
Been flashing for years. I took the OTA after Odin'ing back to NK2 stock.
EDIT: Backup running as we speak
EDIT 2: Guess I should have mentioned I am currently rooted with CF Autoroot and on TWRP 2.8.5.0
