[Q] newb needs help with flashing ics - Acer Iconia A500

ok so as the title states im a lil new to this so plz no one freak out on me for posting this.
what i need is a simple step by step on how to backup, flash, load ics (thor i think) on my a501.
any help would be great or if there is this thread already plz link me

or suggestions as to witch rom to load?

ask on his forum.maybe
my best guess would be to fallow the instructions given by the rom developer.
that rom is beta.and has issues.Again you are at the wrong forum to be asking about Non gpl complient software's.

OK, Thor's ICS rom, is on his personal website.
Due to XDA rules and policies, you will find no information on it here at XDA.
And why anybody would want to bring it up, is beyond my comprehension.
You can locate him at Tegraowners.com. And there, you can post all your issues related to his work.
If you wish to discuss his original CWM Recovery, that is ok.
This conversation should be closed. And no, people, you need not to add anything more, because most of you, don't know all the details.
Any further discussion on this topic, may result in the thread being closed.

if you read the question i asked how to root, flash not specific info on thor...
and as my first line i am new and not to get pissy.
so thank you to any one that actually helped or wants to help me

Nobody is getting "pissy", and clearly, you are new, and didn't read the rules.
Considering how Thor, is the only one who has ICS running, and you mentioned it in your OP. That you are trying to get Thor's ICS running.,
Ok, considering you are running Thor's CWM, which I can support.
1. Boot to recovery (hope you know how to do this)
2. Wipe Data
3.Wipe Cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5, Install your rom.zip
Reboot.
If you have issues getting Thor's ICS flashed, you should contact Thor at tegraowners.com
XDA rules prohibit discussing or directly linking to any sites or developers, who use non-compliant code as in accordance with GPL licensing.
So, I am not being "pissy". You failed to understand or most probably, read the rules. I didn't make these rules. But we all have to follow them.
MD
Edit: as an additional note, because you are a 501 user, and I like 501's, I will say, the likely ICS build you want to flash, well, it doesn't support the 501. No camera, and no 3g internal. Ask me how I know. Or you can just flash it, and discover for yourself. But please, do not say, I am pissy, when you didn't understand the rules at xda.

thank you
and i followed with asking other suggestions. i didnt think just mentioning it would be bad as there are other threads that talk about his work

It's ok, and I take no offence.
Thor does great work, this I know.
But, at xda, they have rules, and I am sorry if you got caught in the middle of it, as with most new users.
Sometimes, I can be a little strict.

cool so what exactly did i say wrong? like i said befor i am not the first to talk about him on xda? or about that rom?

You didn't do anything wrong, discussing his work is not against the rules, linking to downloads is. It is just that discussing his work often leads to heated arguments here, so it is often avoided.

lol i didnt link anything........im confused... one guy says im breaking rules and wants to close this thead. you say i didnt?
i was under the impression that this site is here for people to ask questions. that is all i did

Exactly. Sorry if I sounded "pissy". Just tired of putting out fires
We know now, that you have no idea about the prior history.
Ok, no problem. You didn't know. My fault for being so rude, but you have to understand, when you mention Thor, or his code, some holy crusaders will come with crosses thumping. And believe me, they are much worse than me.
I won't tell the "real" story. Most people don't know. They only know a couple of things.
Rule number 1. Discussing Thor CWM version 3x is ok. It's GPL compliant.
Rule number 2. Do not post links to his site or code containing his kernel.
Rule number 3. Try not to discuss his Roms, or anything associated with them. He has his own website at tegraowners. And doing so, will bring the "crusaders", and cause another mess.
Like I said, long story

that is all good, but you guys need to remember that this site is open to anyone that wants to use it, and alot of people like myself have no idea what CWM version 3x is ok. It's GPL compliant or code containing his kernel. even means!!!
and that is why i came here to learn what i can do with my new toy.
i am respectfull of any requests made of me. but i believe in free speech and didnt really like when somone says-
"because most of you, don't know all the details" is not a good reason to not talk about something.

Well, I have tried to be as nice as can be.
Or we can make the mods step in and explain.
Here's the deal, and remember, I am putting this as nice as I can, so as to not step on toes. But, it seems a general explanation is not suffice. Or maybe you don't like russians.
Thor is a developer. A really good one. Because somebody used his code a year ago, and didn't give credit, a big scandal arose. Near before that time, Thor released the CWM recovery version 3x. What you find in Acer Recovery which you got from the market.
GPL licensing, as is recognized, states that all modifications to the "kernel", must be available to all, and that all said source code, must be released and open.
The original CWM Recovery is within this parameter.
Because of the scandal later, Thor decided to not release his source code for kernels. This created a conflict. Because of XDA rules on GPL compliance, Thor left, and created his own website.
Since then, XDA has a rule. You can not post links to any code containing Thor's Kernel. Nor should you discuss any issues concerning any of thor's code that contains his kernels. This includes 3.2, 3.2.1, and ICS roms.
Discussion of any of his products, eventually leads to some horrible posts. I am only trying to avoid this. Not to give you a hard time.
Fortunately, most of the mess has been cleaned up from the last escapade.
I'm really sorry if you felt I was being an ass. But now you know the story, and I hope you understand.
Free speech is ok, but here at XDA, there are some ... rules.

first i like Russians just fine. ( i just played against your paralympic sledge hockey team last week here in canada)
second that is fine with me, i completely understand if there was a conflict between a developer and xda.
i was never trying to fan the flames just trying to figure out what went wrong....
fyi- next time all you need to say is xda and thor dont see eye to eye, and i would have left it there.
thank you for the info.
any way back to the job at hand...
im running 3.2 and i understand i need to revert back to 3.0 to root... i downloaded the file i need as per the tutorial im following...
however they have you boot your device holding the power and vol. down button and a boot screen apears, this dose not happen on my device??? what am i doing wrong?

No problem. Man, if you could witness the stuff I see here, was just trying to stop something, before it started.
Now, to your issue.
I would suggest you run TimmyDean method.
It will give you a rooted 3.2

[Q] Help please !! How to get SD card data back after flashing Android rom???

I flashed MDJ revolution NAND rom, it looks it partionate my SD or erased everything that was on it,
My first question is, are the data that were on it lost?
If, not, How to get these data back?
Thanks in advance
I don't see anything in the revolution thread (official install parts - first 2 posts) that say anything about erasing your SD card. So, I think something else must have happened.
I didn't noticed anything in the first two posts too, I read carefully what to do and watched the tuto videos, anyway, maybe mr "the atheist" can bring some clarification.

To answer your question, up to now XDA looks to me as a community of people extremely competent that accept often to share their job with the biggest number, including non developers as I am. I used to flash roms for about 3 years now, but I am not at all a developers or an expert in computing and programming. I followed the tutorials and read up to my understanding of those flashing process. And sorry to say that, but yes, I thought that this community of people would have been of some help to the problem I am facing right now...

[Q] Wrong recovery file applied with ODIN -- AHHHHH!

Well now that was just the stupidest thing I have done in a while....I am sure you will agree.
I just used ODIN to roll back to what I thought was going to be GT1.0 US Retail WIFI but what I DID was apply the European .tar by accident.
My once P7510UEKF3 is now a GT-P7500XXKFF. It's a locked tab and CWR is now gone. ODIN seems to be connecting.
....any chance for recovery or did I just loose it???
Two things
1) check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 thread to get the ODIN version of CWM and flash it
2) This does not belong in the Dev section
1) Thank you.
2) Understood (now). Thank you, I will ensure question go to their proper location. My bad.

I would strongly disagree, I do think this belongs in the Dev section; I sure as hell wouldn't post this in the general section, I would want the advice or input of other people who are actually hacking their tabs...i.e., developers. Really tired of development or hacking-related (appropriate) questions being moved to the "general question" section. That section is for just that - general or basic questions, like how do I adjust this setting or that setting, or how do you think this screen compares with that other model's screen, etc, etc. I can say that once one gets past the people who have to get the "this doesn't belong in this section" comments out of their system, there is always a MUCH greater chance of having the best parties see and offer advice on the given problem in this area than in the general section.

It actually belongs in the q&a section hence the q in the title. The link I gave in that post does exactly what your asking. There is instructions to do most things you want on the tablet, but the point is to ask questions in there so the OP can grow as the community grows. That link is also a sticky in the dev thread.

I am aware what the guide says, and apparently you've missed the point - I am quite simply stating that I disagree with the "rules" as they currently stand, which I have the right to do, and in my opinion I believe I have a logical point. I mean honestly answer this - if I have a question for specifically for advanced users (aka i.e., developers), where would I have a better chance of having it seen by such users: in the general section (which is frequented by more novice users) or in the developer section?

I appreciate that you and MD are trying to get your site off the ground, but why not share the information here and include the link to the OP. The picture guide is probably very useful to people and would benefit everyone to have it in both locations.
This looks like you are trying to poach people away. I know that may not be your intent, but the motives could appear suspect to some.
Also, there is a guide, without pictures, over in the developer section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012

Not our intent at all.
If you check the "time stamps" on both posts (the one I posted at ATG, as well as the one you posted) you'll see that the post at ATG (not the post I made here) was done hours before the post at XDA.
Having just been through the nightmare involved with having to revert from the ICS leak, finding my way back to a rooted ROM, and finding mostly hostile remarks directed at those that couldn't figure it out for themselves over in the DEV forum, we came up with a very clear, concise, and explicit TUT on how to get back to a rooted ROM, complete with ALL files needed to do so over at ATG.
As far as the "appearance of being suspect" goes, that's one of the reasons we started our own "community", and not just a mere forum.
While we literally just launched the site mere days ago, and don't have many members as of yet, those that have joined have already made remarks attesting to this fact. Most if not all of our members are members of several forums, some including XDA. No reason to "poach", as we're just giving people alternatives to finding information about things that we all share the same passion for..."All things Android Tablet Related".
Just wanted to clear up why, and when this post was made.

Well, I finding a bit difficult to understand your thread...I don’t see point of unlocking the Dev area unless you are in the field. As far as I am concern the dev area will not give me much, especially with the silly questions I am still to ask.
"...to test qualifications..." what is the point? Many like me turn to XDA to find an answer to a problem and likely will to have the knowledge to stand an examination.
To finalize, my idea with the thread was to provide some information, there are plenty of people going under with their phones due to stupid mistakes.
People stuffing the forum with “spam” threads should check themselves, do a full wipe and then reboot…if you know what I mean.
one additional suggestion: "[GUIDE] How to Flash ICS and Survive"

This is what really happened:
I registered [because i wanted to thank a post]. I logged in (after email confirmation) and searched for the thank button, but couldn't find it. So i went to google picture search, typed in "xda thank button" (there is always at least one person making a screenshot and a arrow on it) and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590190
and on page 2:
It works now - seems that one at least needs one post before "Thanks" is unlocked.
So...nothing for quiet readers like me

Why should I have made a new topic about it?
I usually search first at google, than xda (because of localisation) and when I still haven't found an answer there have already 3 hours passed and I might really have a problem/question noone else ever had before.
Forums are no chat. Every Question and their answers will be saved. Asking a question again and waiting for answers takes usually much longer than just google it.

If you have rooted your phone, you probably also have replaced the original recovery with twrp. In that case, just download the 2.2.1 ota zip from the ota thread in this forum and flash it manually in twrp.

Yes there is a way around: search. Because this question has been answered BILLION AND BILLION times. Even if you are a new to XDA, you should know there is rules. You should know there is a search bar located in top right of your screen. There is a index on this forum which gives you link to @Spannaa's thread where he groups all OTA and Stock ROMs + a tutorial to update when you're root. I gave you all information needed.

Yes there is a way around: search. Because this question has been answered BILLION AND BILLION times. Even if you are a new to XDA, you should know there is rules. You should know there is a search bar located in top right of your screen.

There is no need to be rude, I actually searched several pages before posting my question, as I was pretty sure the question had most likely been asked before. Certainly don't think it's been asked BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of times.
But thanks for your help, I will be sure to do a more THOROUGH search next time I think about posting

Buddy download the Signed flashable zip - Oxygen OS 2.2.1: OnePlus2Oxygen_14_OTA_012_all_1602261837.zip from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863
Flash it via twrp or any other customer recovery that you may have. Post that you would have to flash supersu again.

I agree to him, you do not need to be rude, this community is about helping others so it is not a big deal if you typed the solution. If you look at it , it would have taken less less words than the long comments which you posted.
HOW THE HECK COULD YOU NOT FIND IT. You obviously didn't didn't search very hard my son
I concur,no way he searched.. it's always 1 of the 5 under OnePlus 2 general.
The fact that OP had his phone rooted indicates he probably has some basic knowledge of unlocking bootloader, flashing recoveries/ROMs..etc and therefore should be resourceful look up the solution himself be it on XDA or not. The point is with an easy, and somewhat obvious solution to such a common problem (tbh I too had this exact same issue when I first got the phone, but I knew then I had to do a manual flash) surely people will get frustrated when asked.

I agree we are here to help, but come on, a question that has been answered so many times, in many threads, doesn't deserves one more topic. It reminds me the fingerprints problem on CM13 when it didn't work yet: it was about 2 or 3 question about it per page: "is fingerprint working???", "does fingerprint working". Come on, there is search function, so why don't use it ? Imagine if we create a thread every time we have a problem with our device but this problem has already been solved. Imagine state of the forum after all those threads. And yeah, as said above, if this man as his phone rooted, well, I think he has some basics knowledge about OnePlus Two.
