If you are stock (non-rooted), then you have to wait.
If you want to root, and install a backup manager (CWM or RA) then you can flash a stock rooted 3.2.1 Rom, or a custom 3.2.1 Rom.
i know that i just want to know if i can update my device without rooting or wait for acer to wake up
I wont to keep it stock for now
No I believe your stuck then until Acer gives an ota one srry

ICS update?

Hi guys,
Just a quick question. I'm currently running flexreaper custom rom on my acer a 500. In order to get the official update to ICS via OTA do I have to switch back to a generic rom? If yes a guide would be great.
Thank you,
Dec

My understanding is that you need to have the stock (ie original) recovery on your tab. In other words, not Clockwork recovery. I tried to d/l and install the ICS OTA but it failed, as I had CWM on the tab. Flashed a stock recovery and all installed fine afterwards. Hope this helps.

[Q] How do i install flexreaper on my a500???

i want to install flexreaper ROM on my acer a500. how do i do that?
i am on stock HC 3.2.1, not rooted or anything.
do i need to upgrade to ICS first to flash the ROM?
Thanks.
Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18503406 to root your tablet then install ROM of your choice.
I would suggest reading all instructions through at least twice.

How to return A500 back to stock?

I am not a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing a custom ROM on Android devices but I am having a hard time returning back to stock on my a500 with a hc boot loader. The reason I want to return back to stock is so I can sell the tablet
If anyone has a step by step guide or a link on how to do his, it would be greatly appreciated

this really should be in Q and A but if you're on the honeycomb bootloader just flash the 3.01 buggy.zip and you'll get an OTA updating you to ICS and ics bootloader...make sure to do all the wipes before

I just installed the Acer Recovery app and I am on a 3.0.1 hc boot loader...Where would I go to download the buggy.zip file or could I flash a 3.2.1 stock ROM and update via OTA?

[SOLVED] [Help] I Installed an A500 stock rom on an A501.

I Decided to go back to stock yesterday and have followed the many guides on XDA to un-root to stock 3.2. Unfortunately I'm an idiot and installed an A500 rom instead of the A501 ROM. I would like to know if it's possible to "Upgrade" from 3.2 to an a501 rom using a signed official rom and the stock recovery?
I'd really like to have the official A501 rom installed on my A501, call me crazy
I've tried to install a few stock roms by renaming the zip to update.zip and placing it both on my ext_sdcard and my internal sd of my tablet but none of them have given anything more than the green triangle android recovery screen. Can anyone recommend what I should do next?
Do I need to re-root and re-un-root?
UPDATE:
I discovered that when I flashed the stock a500 rom from my CMW recovery initially, it worked great and I could access the stock recovery with no issues. however in trying to backpedal and go back to root so I could flash the correct a501 rom I rooted my rom and flashed a custom recovery without first flashing an unlocked bootloader. Then when that didn't work I re-flashed the stock recovery. Pieces of the custom recovery may have been left behind OR there was a simple version mismatch. Either way, I've now flashed an unlocked BL, custom recovery, and flashed back to stock a501 3.2. Now I'm back to a501 completely stock and just waiting for an official OTA 4.0.3 update.
Just read on acer's website the A501 doesn't get ICS. How sad.
It's possible to flash an a501 stock rom over the a500 one. The stock roms you tried without success could've been encrypted and you'll need to use the acer update decryptor to decrypt them. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099673
After decrypting the file with it, unzip it and use the included update.zip to flash your tab.

Yes.You're right.
