Rooted ICS ROM RA or CWM Flashable ICS Posted! - Acer Iconia A500

Fully rooted ICS ROM, using Ra recovery or CWM flashable.

Rom is up, it's 3:44 am here (EST). Off to bed!

Thanks! I still wonder where that image comes from during boot up. It's like a snapshot of my home screen on the previous rom.

It's happening on all ICS ROMs using the newest modified stock kernel. Nothing to be alarmed about lol

Newb sorry, but let me get thist straight. If i flash this rom on stock 3.2.1, this will give me a rom and root? Or do i need to be rooted first? sorry for the newb question.

You need to be rooted first, then install a custom recovery (ClockworksMod [CWM] or RA).

you have been thanked

Updated link!

File size?
Half a gig for this ROM? Is that going to be normal for ICS roms, or is there extra studff in here that won't be part of the official release (other than the images, and mentioned Polaris).
Just wondering...
Thanks for the ROM, though!

Thread is now closed, PM has been sent to OP.

Pulled directly from the ERD79 stock images.zip.
That's it? Just boot to fastboot and select recovery ?
Will this work for nonrooted phones?

If you're nonrooted then you still have the stock recovery.
This is for people who've flashed a custom recovery and wish to go back to shipping.
Problem is this won't help people who have rooted roms and are trying to maintain it. The official updates fail on rooted roms.
We have to just wait for one of the devs to patch it up so we can flash it.
so what do you do then if you are not rooted?

Not willing to wipe entire phone and loose everything. I want an upgrade path, not a clean install path. It is mighty tempting at this point though...

*shrug* I just did the ERD79->2.1 update-1->FRF50->FRF83 update. Took about 20 minutes coming from paul's rooted FRF50.
I've just purchased a 2nd hand N1. How can I tell if I'm running the stock or custome img?
I know from rooting/customROMing my Hero a little about img's but what's the name of the stock img on a N1?
Cool, thanks.

Boot into recovery. If you get a triangle and an exclamation point then you have the stock recovery.

Not sure about the FRG83D update, but I'm pretty sure that I had Amon_RA 1.8 when I went from FRF91 to FRG83, and everything went fine.

sorry to resurrect but you must be lucky as **** cause all of mine have failed in amon... both of those builds too! Clockwork dosent help either!
Amon RA 2.x works fine with OTA updates as long as you turn off signature checking, same with ClockworkMod.

The easiest is to flash Amon_RA v1.9.0. That version has signature checking OFF by default. Makes it super simple to flash OTA updates on a stock ROM (rooted or not).
Here's a link to stock FRG83G and recovery.img, which will allow you to get the OTA notification and update:

I actually have a slightly different problem, how do I prevent my custom recovery rom from being flashed back to stock? I am running a rooted version of 2.3.4, and it seems like every now and then when I reboot, I lose my custom recovery!
Remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

[Q] Need some clarification on OTA update.

Ok I am full rooted thanks to un-revoked.
I have downloaded the new update on my phone but havent installed yet, Battery was to low so gave me a notification in status bar to update later.
I understand i have to flash to the Amon ra recovery.
all i want is the stock rom, with the ability to use wireless tether and adfree, so obviously i need superuser permission.
Will i have to flash to a stock rooted rom?? or will i just be able to install these and be good to go?? is there even a stock rooted rom out yet??
Thanks for any and help. love the site dont post much cause normally i can figure things out, but wanna double check on this one.
Here you go.

Make back up and perform full wipes.
You must install the rooted Rom for precautionary reasons.
so should i even update my phone then?? or should i just flash right to one of these?? seems like it would be easier just flashing right too those since i currently have clockwork installed.

Simple answer is NO YOU SHOULD NOT DO THE OTA... The rom is out there already (rooted versions)

No difference really. Just flash the odexed version and that is all. No kernel needed.
I'm not familiar with cwmod so I can't guide you through the flash but also you need to have an updated version.

flash rom with stock recovery?

simple question. can i flash flexreaper rom with stock ics 4.0.3 recovery? or do i have to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery first? i have limited access to a pc and just got rooted this morning
You should be able to. Be sure to flash the honeycomb kernel parts immediately after flashing the ROM.

simple answer: no you cannot flash much of anything with the stock recovery.
If you want flexreaper then yes its best to flash the patched bootloader. Have the rom on yr sdcard ready to install once you've flashed the bootloader/custom recovery.
You can use the locked bootloader (3.01) with some of the flexreaper roms but be warned, its not the optimal solution. If you go this route you will need acer recovery installer to flash a custom recovery first.

Do you have yr cpuid from HC or an old HC backup??
any reason you're not too keen to flash???
No I never had the Hc uid I updated to ota straight out of the box. I have my current uid tho. it's not that I'm against flashing I just have limited access to a PC and to install programs and go through the whole process with someone elses PC is basically unreasonable.

Help with 4.1.2

Hi guys this is the first time i have rooted and flashed a device. I managed rooting my N7 and flashing PA Rom and Motley kernel. Now I want to flash back to stock rom and update to 4.1.2 via OTA or directly flash the official 4.1.2 pure stock. However I still want to maintain root and CWM. Is this possible? Can someone please help me out with details as kind of a noob. I even want to understand how Titanium Backup works. If i backup my apps and then do a factory reset while flashing a new rom how does the backup remain if everything is lost in factory reset. Thanks a lot for helping.

Do it manually like I did, its just as quick as the OTA, you keep all your files and I didn't loose root, was done in 5 mins.

The update can only be applied to a completely stock rom, if you have made any changes to the rom(build.prop edits,etc) the zip will fail to flash

You need a stock RUU, but I'm not sure where to find those. Once you have the stock RUU, adb push the update and your all strawberries and cream
The update will fail if build.prop is modifed and most custom roms modify that. So it would be safer to flash stock image and sideload the update.
Or else wait for the custom ROM developer to incorporate those changes.

Can´t update GT2

Hi, I got an update (i think its 4.0.4) for my country and I couldn´t update it. I clicked on install but in recovery it was aborted. What is a reason?
I have clockworkmod + root. I tried some ROMs but i want to stay beside samsung fw.
Thx.
Hi.
I think you have to be on stock unrooted firmware with stock recovery, but i'm not sure.
OK, i have backup of stock rom, but how i can delete custom recovery?
What device do you have?

Then, the easiest way is to flash either RomsWell or Tab2Lite RC3. They are all stock JB ROMs
I would like to instal stock rom, is it possible to restore recovery? Now i have clockwork mod and because of it i cant update to 4.0.4 and then to 4.1.1.
Hi. I wondrer if you managed to fix your problem? I have the same situation and I'm looking for a way to fix it.

Use ODIN to flash OEM firmware. Lots of tutorial information on this site. Please search.
Cheers
I don't care about the stock ROM, I just want to get rid of the update notification. Is there a build prop edit that will do it? If so, could someone explain how? This is how it was done on my old Dinc, so if there is a simpler way, let me know. Thanks.

People need to be more clear , give more detail when you ask a question. You should not be getting update notices if you are not on the stock firmware. If you are on a custom ROM and still get notices, ask the OP developers of the ROM why.
Sorry, I am on stock firmware, rooted with CWM recovery. I rooted before I took the update. Now It nags me to update, but won't allow it. I will probably look for a stock 4.04 ROM, but was happy with it the way it is because it is for my 8 year old. I was in the same boat as the OP. Thanks.

Well, I have Root + CWM, I was wondering the same because I didn't want to try the update on my rooted P3113 to avoid any problem. Finally I decided to try it because the notification was getting me nuts. It downloaded the update, tried to install it and gave me an error message. Told me to try the installation manually with Kies and stopped appearing
