Here is another ZIP for the ICS dlpkgfile: h t t p : / / dl.dropbox.com/u/3547656/dlpkgfile%20%28AsusTransformerICS%29.zip
Here is the exact same file on MediaFire: h t t p : / / w w w . mediafire.com/?k3fm9mwswhx4k8r
I will upload the same ZIP to a dedicated server as well.
Remove the spaces in the http parts of the link.
Do NOT flash in recovery.
Posted a link to MediaFire as well. If either one of these links are non-working, then I will upload to my dedicated server.

if you are a modifier, then you could repack the zip, add SU, mod it how you want, and release it as a rom, or really anything..
This cant be installed right?

Working fine here. Make sure you remove the spaces in the links.
flying_pigs, if you've updated, please, do the following:
1, Flash CWM or Rogue recovery
2, Reboot to recovery
3, Select Backup, Advanced Backup, and only do a backup of system!
4, Upload this backup image somewhere, and post the link
Problem is, many of us can't apply the patch for some reason. This would help it!

Sorry to say that I have not updated yet and won't have time to make use of this file till much later.
I was just uploading this file since the other Dropbox link went down.
I got a TW TF101, how do I use the file?
My build Number is:
HTK75.TW_epad-8.6.5.13-20110925,
FOTA does not work for me.. says no update for me with my current IP (eu) :-/
Do I need 8.6.5.21 before this update?
So my lovely TF101 is not rooted (and so there's also no CWM etc.).
But I think there is a way to install it manually, isn't it? Something like renaming the file, transferring it to a SD card... Or am mixing something up? Then I'll probably have to wait the 7 days until it is supposed to be here in Germany (I really wonder why it should take that long...)

How would one of these get me back to stock? I've got a corrupt file - so I am bootlooping after root. SU causes a seg fault, so I can't get root permission to remount & replace the busted files... anyone figure out getting to recovery yet?

Use this file http://db.tt/3hqvgP1 and push it to /data/local/tmp
Then run it via ./data/local/tmp/gb
You should be root afterwards and be able to fix permissions etc

Thank you so much! I got stuck on the Android ! boot screen and couldn't get the OS to boot after stupidly screwing up permissions after I rooted. I downloaded your zip, renamed it to update.zip and loaded it on a microsd card. Then I put the card in, booted the tablet while holding volume down and recovery loaded the system image and I'm back in business. It did come with a few apps loaded into system I'm not familiar with including a few that weren't in English. Will a factory reset remove those, does anyone know?
Edit: This is also missing gapps including the market... You sure this is a US image?
no thats a chinese update u need to follow a link thats been post above urs a bit ago and follow the directions on how to add market to the nook color.

Alright Guys in the USA. I will be posting the .img files to fix your device or update your device to 1.141.07 if you have either used the chinese update fix or some other various fix that left you with a different boot image. The instructions are simple.
1. Connect your tablet to the computer via USB. Put the boot.img and the system.img on your SD Card. Also put the Update.zip then use a file explorer to move the update.zip to the root of your SD card. Which is external SD. If you use Astro. (Alternatively you can just take your SD card out and put it in your computer to put the update.zip.)
2. You need to first push the boot.img
-Open ADB type su then hit enter. (your device will prompt for superuser you must select allow) Then enter the command below.
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (hit Enter)
3. Then push the system.img
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
4. Force shutdown your device when those finish (as your screen may not turn on.)Then hold volume - and the power button "until the green android comes up very important do not let them go just because the device turns on" to start the update.zip. Let it finish (Your device will reboot when it completes.
5. Enjoy the fact your device is back to stock and you can now update when future updates release.
To push the files you will need adb shell. If you dont know what that is look it up, It is part of the android development kit. Second these 2 commands will push the files to their proper mount block. You must push the boot.img first then the system.img These files are for the USA update 1.141.07

** Alright guys I am just posting this link for when you just do the update.zip because you are already on 1.104.05_COM_GEN1 and you have a different kernel then the update.zip, What will happen is when you reboot the tablet from just doing the update.zip you may have WIFI error. These files should resolve that issue. Once again they are only if you have WIFI Error on reboot. To install these you will need some type of file explorer that has rw access to the file system. I rec. Root Explorer. To install these follow these instructions.
1. Copy both modules to your SD card does not matter where.
2. With your File Explorer/Manager Copy both of these files. (Root Explorer will let you multi-select if you hit the menu button.)
3. Navigate to System/Lib/Modules.
4. **This step is very important- You must Mount your System for RW access. If you don't they will not copy. Once you have RW just hit the paste button and then reboot your device.
5. **This step is for anyone still having wifi error after reboot. (Stop being lazy lol and just do all the steps. From the top by mounting the boot.img and system.img that way your device is 100% stock there for no checksum issues.

well the only thing I can think of it either the lib modules for wifi are messed up in which case I can post a link with them or the kernel is different. I would use the 2 .img that I posted then use the update zip. That way the images replace your kernel which is always the root cause of wifi errors.
here is a link to the wifi lib modules. You need to use something like root explorer. To mount the system as rw. Then navigate to system/lib/modules and copy those two files into there with the system mounted as rw. Reboot and see if it fixes the issue!!

You get that only when do don't do all three'. Once you reboot after pushing the 2 images. You have to hold down the volume - and the power button it will then run the update zip to complete.

CAUTION, ACCIDENTAL FLASHING OF A DOWNLOADED BUILD MAY END UP ON A HARD BRICK. YOU'VE BEEN WARMED.
Cant get any simpler than that, today we all got to work together and find as many international builds as possible in the test servers before they are remove.
Getting into the test servers is actually very very simple!Requirements!
You need to be on the latest android for your distributor.
(bell, telstra, tmobile uk, orange, etc)
You need to be rooted
(and must own root explorer.)
You also need Tenfars Bootstrap CWM.-How can i search the test servers.-
(one of these steps will have you erase your data, back up if needed)1. Download the file here. (cavalynts test cloud setup)
2. Open the zip and extract the files into your sdcard or internal memory
3. Using root explorer move those files into their correct places (just follow folder setup, where they came from is where they go)
4. Reboot into CWM and wipe data, and cache. (the warning).
5. Now reboot, and when the setup screen appears, press the menu key (the one all the way to the left) and set-up your wifi
6. in the same menu all the way to the right there will be a magical option "Set up Cloud"
7. Open that optin pick a cloud, and then follow the set up accound process like normal (do not use your real names emails or password, doh!)

DO NOT INSTALL WHAT YOU DOWNLOAD, HIT THE INSTALL LATER. THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION TO GET ON LATEST BUILD QUICKER. BE CAREFUL OR YOU WILL HARD BRICK.
Read next post to learn how to retrieve it and sent it to US over at webchat.freenode.net #moto-atrix
Stop pressing thanks and start joining in the download fest.
How to retrieve the OTA safely.
1. Once the OTA finishes downloading, it will ask you if you want to install
(press INSTAL LATER)
INSTALLING THIS MAY END UP IN A HARD BRICK, AS IN KAPUTS YOUR PHONE DOES NOT WORK, AS IN YOUR PHONE IS BROKEN FOREVER, AS IN F*CK THE PHONE HARD BRICKED.
2. Open Root Explorer and go to the cache folder in the root of your phone and retrive the ATA .zip
(it be easy to know which of all the things in there is the ota.)
3. Move it to your sd card and from there to your pc.
4. sharing it with the devs. Please upload this on Multiupload, and either sent me the PM with the link, or PM us on IRC.

yes but is a bit more complicated, you can simply flash the zip up there on 183. and then get a build.prop for any version and replace yours with it. now to download its the tricky part
you are going to needs to be rooted
and once the download starts you are gonna want to open a shell
abd shell
su
cd /cache
trail - -(not sure what options they where) file.zip >/destination/file.zip
is easier to let them do it themselves.

You cant install through CWM you have to place them in manually as in the instructions
if you have root explorer go over to your files and on top at the right theres a yellow button with read 0, click it and it will say write 1, then do it again
it remounds your system

doing the back-up now. on bell. going to start from the bottom of the list and work my way up I assume I only upload if I find a different file than what you have?
Where does the META-INF folder go then? In root? I guess what I want to know is where those certs are supposed to end up.

if you find something like 2.3.3 that is particularly interesting because that is where we found our unlock from att (2.3.4 did not have this). I am talking in android versions not att/bell specific. Of course upload anything unique and we will inspect it to see if there is an unlockable bootloader inside =D
Come on guys we need to bring more attention to this! i will try the french SBF but it would help if someone could send me the Build.prop because i would rather not stray from the bell firmware, but if i have to i will to help out.

Not yet. We have to wait and see.
By the way, how about a "call for dev" to the people who rooted A500 in the first place?
Not yet, but could use some help
I captured the update.zip and rooted it but can't get it to run. I'm not sure if it only works if the manufacturer signs the update.zip because I can only sign with a test certificate, trying to get this resolved.
I have to get these Iconia 500 rooted as it is fubar'ng our fleet. We root and install a sales/inventory/delivery system in /system/app and then un-root. Therefore employees can reset them all they want and not have to set them back up and they can wipe them clean of personal data when they leave the company without fubaring the company application. Deploying via the market place cannot be done (we only want employees using the app) and using 'unknown sources' isn't a solution. Plus, most of our employees easily wipe them clean all the time as they play around and learn them. Having the application in /system/app solves every one of these issues. The ACER's update nukes everything is system. Why would they not just modify their applications and leave mine alone?
Thanks to ACER, these folks just deleted out all of our applications and data because all the employees said 'yes/ok' to the update. Now who won't do that?
So, I've got several here for testing and welcome anyone's ideas because they are junk or I will have to flash them back to 3.1 and remove the ability to do updates.
Thanks

First 4 files on that page are a rared version of stock 3.2.
Open rar1 and it will unrar all 4. Flash the tablets with it, but I'm not sure you can unroot it afterwards?
CWM - Not loadable is it?
This uses the clockwork recovery doesn't it? You cannot load the CWM unless your have root??? What I really need is to be able to use the stock recovery.
So how do you use CWM without out rooting? Sort of a catch 22?
Now I could download to 3.1 and then install CWM and then apply the update using the modified CWM, but that sort of is a long way around isn't it?

so is it possible for me to downgrade to 3.1 from 3.2 just by flashing the OTA 3.1 given in this post
[ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 ]
using the default recovery?
Root for 3.2 can be done!!
From a post by eglathangion on the Developer’s Board:
Googling and surfing around the 'net, I found this repository.
Go to code.google.com/p/acer-a500/downloads/list
The latest filelist shows:
CWM_Root_Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1.part1.rar
CWM_Root_Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1.part2.rar
CWM_Root_Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1.part3.rar
CWM_Root_Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1.part4.rar
My remarks on what I did when tried this out and it worked!
1.I downloaded the (4) files, extracted them to a new folder as .zip files.
2.Copied to my ext-sdcard in a folder
3. After the (4) files were installed as described above, I then booted into Recovery and installed each one individually. After each file I DID NOT "Reboot system now", but rather chose to install the next .zip until all (4) were installed.
4. Rebooted system. All my apps were still there. The only things I did have to do is root with Iconia Root app, install Superuser and set up my e-mail accounts again. When I ran an app that required root access, I simply had to allow access with Superuser.
Everything else was there as it was before the install and everything is working great. ! Did this 3 days ago and no issues!
so, can i download these 4 files, extract into the 1 large file, put on my ext-sd renamed as update.zip and flash from clockwork?

are you sure you are on the stock 3.2 recovery??
because as far as i know and correct me if im wrong, the 3.2 stock recovery does not give you the ability to chose which file you wish to flash. it just flashes the file "update.zip" file..
Also , just for clarification. If i do as previously mentioned to install this, will I still have clockwork recovery or will it flash he new Acer stock recovery?

DO NOT listen to this post (1 post wonder).
First off those four files are rar files that once you begin the extraction, will extract themselves into one large file. There is no way to flash those four files seperately.
Second, root and su are included in that ROM, so no need to root (as indicated in the title of the files).
Please don't Brick your device by listening to these directions!

The answer to your question is YES, that's the proper way to install this ROM.
I gave the link to this on the previous page of this thread.

If he's trying to flash ROMs with stock 3.2 recovery, he needs to sell his tab and get an IPad before he bricks his tab lol
Just so you guys know.
Got mine this morning
HTK75.US_epad-8.6.5.19-20111107
Any change log yet?
This is practically the last one with issues fixed.

I'm installing the update now. Good looking out!
EDIT: So, App Backup works, though one thing failed and I was unable to see which app it was that didn't make it. Huge improvement of the last few times I tried to use it.
Same here
First I try app backup, and works fine
Can anyone pull the dlpkg file from the cache partition?
Finally got it
Have been waiting for weeks in NL to get the 8.6.5.18 update, it could not find the update. Finally just few minutes back got it. Downloaded now installing. Will update once it is setup.

You need root permissions to enter the /cache partition

Sorry mate. Could not help. Hopefully somebody with root is going to upgrade soon and can provide you with the package.
I have root and root explorer and although my update failed it may have saved the download in the cache folder
I open the cache folder and only can see
lost&found
recovery
and in the folders there is no update file named dlpkgfile

When you reboot the file is moved somewhere. Try to re-download the update, and then before rebooting open the cache folder

From the contents of the update package it's looks like it's only a new fingerprint for the build and a permissions fix for the asus-backup binary.
Edit: and maybe a fix for this issue too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339336
Edit2: This does not have a fix for the above url, it's only fingerprints and the perm fix for asus-backup
