[Q] Acer a500 Acer_A500_1.109.02_PA_DEMO need help

I need to flash a retail rom to my ACER a500 but I'm not sure which one to go with. My rom version is Acer_A500_1.109.02_PA_DEMO and I have read it can be done but I just am lost when it comes to what to do next. My device is already rooted but I just not sre which file to start with to get a retail rom on my acer a500. Please help.

Look in the Developer threads there are (TUT)orials there. Any way I would download the "Acer Recovery Installer" app from the Market, that will make it relatively easy to flash a custom ROM to your tab.

[Q] problem with downgrading my g100 aka a500

hello all,
i searched everywhere for a answer on my question but didn't find it.
i have a packerd bell liberty tab g100. now i did read, it is exactly the same as a iconia a500. now i want to root the device to get nicer roms and such. the only problem is i have android 3.2.1. so i tried to downgrade it with 3.0.1 unstable version. but when i go in to the recovery mode. i only get a green android picture with a ! in the middle of it. i downloaded this rom several times , i unpacked it several times. but still no luck in downgrading. maybe because its for an acer?. i couldn't find more info on this matter. every where you have this tutorial to do it like this. i followed this exactly. please could you give me a hint or link for where to look. or give me a clue as what i am doing wrong. i dont mind if its hard to do. thanks in advance.
ps nice work is being done here

please people you havent had anyone here with the same problem? i don't know what to do. please give me a hint or link, i will do the rest of the research myself
thanks

try a different one, it seems to be that you have an incorrect rom, if they doesnt work message me and i will help you
Q: is your tab rooted???

[Q] Taboonay 2.2 to Taboonay 3.2beta help

Hi,
First off, apologies if this question has been asked before! I've been searching the forum/web for days trying to find a full guide to help me upgrade so that I don't brick my tablet as I'm a bit nervous about it (I've only done this once before).
Does anyone have/Can anyone point me towards a guide that will help me go from Taboonay 2.2 to Taboonay 3.2 (or to any other ICS ROM)?
I have the media (A500-b6.zip and 3G-9.img which I believe is the Kernel), but I have no idea where to start. I've seen Civs guide, but I'm not sure if that applies to me.
Also happy to take recomendations on ROMS (I've chosen Taboonay because I had 2.2 with the my last and only previous manual flash but I know Vache has now unfortunately stopped developing)
Any help is much appreciated, I really want to get a new ICS ROM on there but want to make sure I dont end up with a really expensive and shiny door stopn as a result!
Thanks in advance.
Gary

**Any help please for acer A500 with rooting ICS 4.0.3 (total n00b)**

Hi all,i was a member of XDA (rejoined now + tegra owners) and MIUI forums a few years back but forgot how to do everything with android (bloody drink):silly:
Anyroad, got an old Iconia A500 (ICS 4.0.3)
I've downloaded mighty Thors : (tegra owners)
CM12.1-Tegraowners_ROM_v7t1
gapps-5.0.2_a50x_TO
update-recovery-TWRP-rev2.0-beta4
trouble is i haven't the foggiest what to do next?
I know i need to root it (how?) i think i used kingroot on my Xiaomi note 2...would this work here?
I've tried Blackthund3rs root program and it infected me with chinese malware which took nearly a day to get shot from my computer (i wasnt happy)
I've also tried the 'easy method' on here..and it came up unsuccessful
I could do with laymans terms the procedure to root and everything else..
A step by step guide would be fantastic for divvies like me :cyclops:

Another A500 user
I'm another A500 user in the same spot. Wireless stopped working properly and don't have an update to fix it since they stopped supporting after 4.0.3. That's what I have on mine currently. So I'd also like to know how to root it if possible and move past these problems! I've rooted another tablet before, and I know it's a very specific process of copying files and rebooting etc. But never done it on this Acer A500 and would like to keep it. Still runs great except no internet now. Some sort of common glitch, but I can't find any patches to fix it!
