I'm tired of looking for an answer to this seemingly simple question on google and searching on here. I've had at least 5 tabs open for the last hour combing through posts and replies.
Question is this: A500 running thor's v14.2 rom along w/ his custom kernel. To revert back to stock. Do I need to flash back to the stock kernel along w/ the stock rom. If so, where can I get the kernel from?! The closest thing I came across was a post that gave the source link where you had to build the kernel yourself.

did you make a nandroid of your ROM before you flashed the current ROM youre on?
of course not! lol. I was too excited to play around w/ it that I neglected the basics. And honestly, I've been putting off reverting back because I'm quite happy w/ thor's rom.

good luck bro!
I've also decided to head back to a stock ROM in both anticipation of the ICS update and to try and get video working with Skype. My problem is, I'm using a A501, which seems to be the unwanted red headed stepchild of the Iconia family!
I'm on a custom ROM (Moscow something-er-rather?) with CWM. Do I just find a copy of the stock ROM and flash like a custom? I just really want to be able to get OTA updates and hopefully solve my Skype video issues...
Thanks in advance!

I see vache has a couple Full 3.2 Stock 501 roms on his thread here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
i got a a500 and i assume you extract the update.zip and flash as per a500. Dont wanna put u wrong tho' so maybe ask moscow on his rom thread, he da man when it comes to the 501
Okay - I'm going to try and flash that update.zip and see what happens. My biggest concern is the lack of Skype video - I can only assume it has to do with the ROM flashed, and nothing else, because other people claim they are able to use Skype video.

I am getting tired of waiting for the stock 3.1 rom now so I am starting to think about using one of the custom roms.
Have there been any performance and function comparisons between the stock rom and the custom roms?
Or do you have any good arguments either way?
The two most popular appear to be Virtuous Picasso and Virtuous Galaxy. I have been using the 1.08 version of the former for sometime and have had no issues. I thether, have gps, bluetooth, WiFi all w/out issue. If your rooted, get wild and flash them both; see which you Luke better.
I like virtuous galaxy for the the touchwiz, but there were too many broken things. Exchange didn't work, couldn't access files on my external sd card (although apps like google music seemed to be able to) and my usb keyboard didn't work. Virtuous galaxy seems to work without any issues.
I've tried them all so far, and they all have pro's and con's. They also all have bugs, which is only to be expected.
Currently, I'm running stock and, to be honest, kinda prefer it. Though I *have* rooted and added a few tweaks...

I don't mean to speak for willy but I think what he was saying is that at first, Virtuous Galaxy was nice but had too many broken features but after the release this past weekend, most of the bugs are fixed.
I am using Primee which is the Asus Transformer ROM with some of the Acer items left intact. I have tried Virtuous Galaxy and UI is beautiful but I was getting a barely perceptible lag opening and closing the app drawer even after OC to 1500 and it was bugging me. I think the problem could have been one of the Samsung widgets.
I normally recommend loading a custom rom if you feel comfortable. I rooted my HTC Magic back in the early days of Android and have never looked back.

You should go for 3.1 stock (official acer update), works like butter and fixes problems that custom roms still have (like cell stanby) unless they are based on 3.1 stock (I'm still waiting )
Update to 3.1 stock Acer Official Update
No wipe needed or acer recovery/cwm, you don't lose your data, but it's highly recommended to backup and use recovery/cwm, through again not necesary.
Here is a change log (what's new/changed) to see if it's worth, if you do update please share with me in that thread what's new and changed so we can inform, share and encourage pleople to update to 3.1, plus if you do it now you get new OTA Acer_ A500_4.010.30_COM_GEN1 (I sound like a salesman ) who knows for how long they will keep the update

Actually the update posted IS official, Acer one, right now those with that version are getting OTA .30 update, so as far as I know that's stock unless you mean out-of-the-box as stock.

How do you procede to go from EMEA_GEN3 to COM_GEN1?
My machine is COM_GEN1 so I'm happy. My sister who got hers in Denmark is EMEA_GEN3 and is still stuck with firmware 1.x (Android 3.0.1)... Is there a step-by-step instructions for going to COM_GEN1 for her machine?
I suspect I can then download the latest firmware manually from : code.google.com/p/acer-a500/downloads/list or use OTA like my machine?
Thanks,
Gilles.

I too went from EMEA_GEN3 to COM_GEN1. Here is the basic low-down as to how I went about it:
* Install Acer Recovery from Market and use it to install clockworkmod.
* Download the COM_GEN1 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176632 thread.
* Use Acer ROM Decrypter to decrypt the .zip file and extract the update.zip from there.
* Rename the update.zip to something like e.g. AcerROMcomgen1.zip and copy it on your SD card. It's important that it is on the SD, not internal storage.
* Turn off your tablet, then turn it on while keeping the volume button pressed down until you see white text appear on the tablet screen's top-left corner.
* Use clockwordmod to first make a full backup for just-in-case. I really mean it: do a full backup. You never know if you might need it later!
* Then format cache, format data/factory reset, then install zip from SD.
* Reboot.
As for navigating in clockwordmod: you use the volume button to go up or down in menus, and power button to select the menu item.
Just wondering, if I were to flash to a custom rom, such as Thor... then a few months later ICS comes out for our tablets, what would the upgrade process entail?
I'm hesitant to try a custom rom, because when ICS finally comes I don't want there to be extra steps in order to get the update.
Anyone know how difficult/easy this is going to be? Will it involve having to flash back to stock first, then OTA to ICS?
TIA!

Not trying to be rude but honestly, if youre afraid of a few extra steps than rooting and android is not for you. I suggest an apple product.
But to answer your question, when official ICS comes out OTA Im sure devs will create custom roms that you can just flash. I mean we already have ICS ports in the works.
Why would you want crappy OTA ICS when you could have a faster, custom rom ICS .

Don't assume. I already have ICS running on my Galaxy S; I'm sure I've flashed and reflashed android devices just as much as anyone else here. It's not about being afraid. It's about convenience for a device I've come to rely on day-to-day.
Thanks for the post, anyways. But I'd still like to hear what the process would be to go from a custom rom to the offical OTA ICS.

I agree wait for the kinks to be worked out.
If you rely on this device pretty heavily, and you still want to get ICS when it comes out, I would just recommend flashing a custom ROM now that is known to be pretty stable. like you suggested, Thor's ROM seems to be a great one. It definitely improves the speed of the tablet and I have yet to come across any bugs that would inhibit my everyday use. Then, once developers have worked out a ROM for a relatively stable version of ICS, you shouldn't have any trouble switching to that and not worrying about the OTA updates.

Well, if you're familiar with all that, then you already know how to flash an OEM ROM and would know you already knew how to do it.
can be a bit of a pain going back to stock ota updates. Depends on availability of your devices localized stock rom.( or being able to backup stock rom first). Took me about 5 days to find the right files and steps to get ota working again. Didnt help that i am a total newbie, the iconia is my first android device never flashed anything before except a pc bios. Do your research first and make sure you can go back instead of getting stuck. Here is a link to get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155664 another thing when you go back to stock you also go to the back of the line in the update queue as well. I was on 3.2.1 went back to 3.1 got ota updates up to 3.2 but have not recieved 3.2.1 update again yet cheers.

He folks, hadn't updated my phone in a really long time (close to a year). I just updated to CWM 5.0.2.7 in preparation for upgrading to CM9 beta. I'm just wondering if I need to update my modem, kernel, or anything else beforehand.
Thanks for any info.
Nope you can if youd like but just flashing cm9 will be enough.

Well he should at least be on a GB modem lol.
I wanna mention one thing before you flash though. CM9 is a MTD ROM.
To learn about MTD, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387334
Having knowledge about this will probably prevent a lot of problems.
So basically, I can just run the CM9 beta.zip? I've got a current backup.
From what I can understand, running that .zip will switch my filesystem over to MTD, which is incompatible with a lot of other ROMs. I'm cool with that, I'll probably be sticking with either CM9 or CM7 anyway. But what happens if my install goes wrong?
In regards to modems, are there requirements for compatibility? I believe I'm on EC05, currently. If I do need to upgrade, what should I upgrade to, and is there a good guide for that?
If something goes wrong just re-download and re-flash the zip or odin with the pit file and repartition checked and try again. There's no modem requirement but I'm really liking FB15.

Well fortunately, a lot of roms are MTD-based now.
For a modem, there is no requirement. Modem will NEVER affect the system, just your network speeds and signal strength. It's recommended to update to the EL30 modem though.
Make sure you have a gapps.zip btw if you want gmail, the play store (android market), and all those goodies.
If you are still confused, watch these tutorials (thank qbking77)

Thanks guys, this has been very informative.
One last question regarding the modem: I'm on EC05 currently with a custom ROM. Can I run a .zip to upgrade only my modem from EC05 to EL30? I've read through some threads, but they seem to be outdated. I don't have a PC, so Odin is not an option.

In December, when I picked up my TF101, I used Razorclaw + CWM to root it. I also found some kind of an update here that I applied that allowed me to overlock the device .. I believe it was a form of kernel patch?
I would like to go to ICS. I need to be rooted after ICS though, we have a VPN client for our SonicWall firewall that requires the OS to be rooted. I would also prefer an ICS port that supports overclocking like my current build .. it's been incredibly useful to clock up in to the 1400s as it makes everything run so much better.
Is it possible to upgrade to the stock ICS, root it easily and patch it to allow for overclocking at this time? If so, could someone direct me to a guide that shows what the easiest way to do this is, since I already have CWM in (although can't remember how to get it to come up on boot .. doh)?
Thanks =)
Wait till Asus fix the problems.
Yea dont install ICS, it would be like pouring water over your PC
It might seem fun at the time, but its really not a good idea
I would say it is a very bad idea. Avoid it. I did it and literally my tablet is unusable now because of
Slow response
Random rebooted
Random no message crash of apps like gmail.
Dead slow,app response
white screen on app loading
It is now embarrassing infront of ipad users.

Ignore the fear mongering posters.
Tons of people are using ICS without issues. But yes, some do experience issues.
Since you have CWM, you can directly flash the pre-rooted stock ICS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552303 This is the latest 9.2.1.17 version.
If you want to overclock, you can flash custom ICS ROMs that support overclocking. There's only 2 at the moment, Team EOS and Codename Android.
Frequently updated custom ICS roms such as Team EOS and CM9 tend to be very stable and have fixes that stock ICS doesn't have, so flash a custom ROM instead of the stock ROM if you are concerned about possible issues.
As always, do factory reset + clear cache + clear dalvik cache within CWM before flashing the stock ROM or any custom ROM.
To be safe, I would update your CWM to the latest version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723 before flashing anything.

Terrible advise.
Why tell someone to update to an OS that has literally flooded XDA and other forums, and ASUS's facebook page with people saying their TF is no longer usable ?
For the sake of waiting for a working update, why suggest doing something that could very well turn their TF into a buggy POS ?
There is nothing in ICS that is worth the risk

There are just as many people, probably much much more, who aren't having problems.
Besides, have you tried any custom ROMs? If not, stfu.
I would no say my TF is unusable under ICS.
It works fine, apart from not so random reboots, as it reboots mainly in the morning when I wake it up form the night...
maybe the Sleeping Beauty requires a kiss from the Prince ...
By the way, it used to be really better under HoneyComb, I wish i could have refused that damned firmware upgrade ...
If I were you I'd rather wait as an other poster said for a really proven Stable version from Asus

If you are using one of the better custom ICS roms and still having such bad issues, the problem is you and your apps since those AOSP roms aren't even based on Asus's ICS.
The OP has root and CWM, and wants to overclock. So how was it a bad advice to recommend a custom ICS rom?
Just because you are having issues, doesn't mean everyone else will.
I've never had any issues at all and I just got done testing like 5 different ROMs. No issues whatsoever. Probably because I do it correctly and do a full wipe including format /system before I flash anything.
I've got issues on Stock and I did a full wipe using voldn+power method and this was before I rooted. I also lost sound randomly on Stock, and the custom kernels I still get reboots but my sound for the main part does work.
So, if the OP needs their tablet to work correctly then wait, if it's not that important to them and they don't need for day to day tasks then take a chance, you might get lucky or you might be causing yourself a headache, up to you.

How is the problem me when I am doing everything the "ASUS way" ?
The problem is ASUS and their code.
If you read the OP's actual post, you will see this line
"Is it possible to upgrade to the stock ICS"
And if you want to go even further into it, your line "Probably because I do it correctly and do a full wipe including format /system before I flash anything"
I don't think you can get a cleaner flash than NVFLASH, which is how I always flash my ROMs
Hey people,
Currently I was running AOKP Build 33, then decided to flash my Transformer's kernel to Clemsyn-Blades3.2OCver22a (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1109630.html), now it seems to be stuck on the Asus EEE Pad screen. I did a back up and through CWM v5.8.1.8 and restored without problem but it's still stuck.
I'm out of ideas and hoping you guys have some

Hey people,
Currently I was running AOKP Build 33, then decided to flash my Transformer's kernel to Clemsyn-Blades3.2OCver22a (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1109630.html), now it seems to be stuck on the Asus EEE Pad screen. I did a back up and through CWM v5.8.1.8 and restored without problem but it's still stuck.

The Blade kernel is for Honeycomb. It is not compatible with ICS. You can reflash your ROM to get the original kernel back.

oh dman, is there a way I can put the original files to the internal memory, or update via SD card. my computer won't recognise the device when I plug it in
Yes use ADB and next time don't just random flash things. True guevor's kernel (I really have no idea why you haven't used that one .....)

I second guevor's kernel. I was having the random reboots from anywhere between a few hours and less than two days, and since I flashed test13 I haven't had a single RR or SOD in two weeks.
Quick question:
Is the guevor's kernel compatible to stock ICS build 9.2.1.17??
It's rooted with CWM installed.

Where can I download the kernel from?
I managed to use ADB to push then flash back to stock it's all working fine now.
