It's easier to just be helpful/
I used the Acer Recovery app and dropped back to 3.0.1 and restored stock kernel.
From there I just did a System Update check and it pushed me OTA to 3.2.
I'm Now waiting for the 4.0.1 to be pushed to me in Ottawa, Canada.

I actually tried the Acer Recovery App last night on my rooted device and all it seemed to do is change the recovery screen and if you don't already have a backup of the stock rom in place it will sit there and do absolutely Nothing. I had to find the update.zip last night which was a total pain. If you want it just PM me and I will see about getting that file over to you if you want. Or I can attempt to upload it some where just give me a little bit. Granted the one I have if I recall correctly is 3.01 but still you just update a few times to get to 3.2.1

Good question, I was on a custom HC Rom so I am not 100% certain on that. I will post the link to download it from drop box when it is done so you can try it if you want. I mean I assume it would considering all it is doing is dropping you back to 3.01 but than again I have no idea if it would get kernel conflict issues and what not.
Edit: Actually I think I was on one of Thor's ICS Roms awhile back and all I did was Flash a different HC Rom and back to HC I went than last night I restored the whole thing to Stock considering I want to get the OTA so my assumption is it "SHOULD" work.

Just rename the thing to update.zip when I put the link up and stick it on the root of your sd card memory and it should as far as I know see it with the stock recovery. Depending on how much longer it has to go I might have to wait until I get home to get the file uploaded but I will try to get it up and posted here before I leave work.

Yeah, i find it strange that we got a leak back in march, but now that the official release is out there isnt a zip out there to download. Hopefully going back to HC fixes my accelerometer issue and ill just wait for the OTA.

You renamed the file to update.zip instead of 3.1update.zip right? Also you have it on the root of your sd card? If that doesn't work try one of the root methods for the leaked ICS than install CWM and try it that way.

If you are go ahead and try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Vache has a bunch of OTA Recoveries there that I assume still work.
Edit: Checked the links and they seem to all download, just tried a couple to check. Also the EMEA ones as far as I know are for the European devices I Think. The COM ones I think are strictly US. Not sure exactly how that part works but anyway there they are for you if going via CWM Doesn't work.

Honeycomb 3.2.1 stock rom
Hi There,
I'd like to know if you have a copy of Honeycomb 3.2.1 stock rom for North America?
The one that you can put on the sd card and renamed it as update.zip?
ICS is slowing down my wifi browsing experience...
Thanks for your help.

Hey everyone, normally I wouldn't ask this question, but I can't seem to find an answer so I figured I'd throw it out and see if someone can help. Yesterday, after running Taboonay 2.0 for a while, I decided to revert back to stock 3.1. I used Acer Recovery Installer to do so, and chose the 4.010.07 stock ROM to go back to, figuring I could update from there. After installing the ROM, I checked the build number on my tablet, and it showed 4.010.15_COM_GEN1. System update says there are no updates available for me, but as far as I was aware, 4.010.13 was the latest US update. I have no idea what I have, or why it jumped from the .07 I thought I was getting to .15 without me downloading any sort of OTA update. So if anyone has an idea, an answer would be appreciated.
I also reverted yesterday but the update I got was 4.010.13_GEN2

this is a prime example why it is always best to wait until the devs get their hands on the update. You are just going to have to wait till the root programs and CMW are updated to work with the new build. Early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

i think it is because of the new bootloader. Your best bet at this point is to just wait for the new root program to come out. Shouldn't take them that long for it. Don't know about the itsmagic update that could take time, but everything would speed up if anybody would upload the new build so the devs can start looking at it.
I captured the 3.2 update when it came in to my tablet, I have the update.zip and would gladly share it if it helps get root faster.
Not entirely sure the best way to share a 350meg file though!
File I have is an update from 4.010.38 (3.1) to 7.006.01 (3.2) (file claims to be Acer_A500_4.010.38_7.006.01_COM_GEN1)
I can probably put it on some webspace for someone, but I'm afraid if I post it publicly my bandwidth limit will be quickly exceeded.

Of course that occurred to me about 10 seconds after I hit submit...
So I have uploaded it to megaupload...
Unfortunately this forum won't let me post external links... so I can't tell you how to find it!
edit: ok, finally I can post links, so I'm updating this: www.megaupload.com/?d=UXOVADAS
This update comes from 4.010.38 to 7.006.01 so you'll need to be on 4.010.38 first to do the update. (that one can be found in the master ROM list on this site at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 )

Hopefully this allows some of the developers to start playing with rooting 3.2
Additionally for anyone who has managed to brick their tablet trying to downgrade to an earlier version, this file can be used to get you back up and running (at least it worked to get me back up after I tried to downgrade to 3.1)
Thanks for the upload

Hi Guys, i own an A501 for one week now, running 3.2 (already installed when buying it).
I understand that it is not possible to root or downgrade 3.2.
But, and here comes my question: Why isn't it possible to use the recovery-function to install an already rooted 3.2?
People trying to downgrade to 3.1 or lower get an error message, but when they re-flash 3.2 their tablet is running again.
So why can't we just re-flash an already rooted 3.2?

SPCIIW, but I believe the "rooted 3.2" ROMS are all using the 3.1 bootloader, not the 3.2 bootloader, and that's why you can't flash to a rooted 3.2
OMG... another completely meaningless post??? PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!!!
I understood your question well, so here's the answer.
You can't modify the update.zip file from Acer in any way because when flashing it verifies each file against a file where there is a list with the files to be installed and their CRC, if you modify or add something the flash fails.
Trying to use other already rooted customs rom is no gonna work, because they changed the boot loader to recognize only Acer roms and updates files.
Hope it helps you.

Long as you have CWM installed. And I installed Thor 3.4 to OC and my tab works like a charm. So its possible to do.
*admit I'm not sure if this Tom has a 3.1 boot loader however it works great. Let me know if you need further help.
I'm talking about somebody who already did the update to STOCK 3.2, not about customs roms. Try to flash a custom rom after you are in stock 3.2 and see how it fails the flash.

And locked the bootloader again, which is why we don't have root once again. The Eepad has already been rooted for 3.2, but since most of the DEVs in the a500 forums have left for greener pastures, I'm not certain we'll see root for 3.2 anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong?

No one seems to show GEN2 any love. Its all GEN1 and CUS7. For those that want GEN2 (I live in US), well here you are. A full image for Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. This is not edited in any way. (This means not rooted). This is probably not going to be useful to the average person. For a modified (but rooted) ROM of this, look here
This is not OTA and can be used without ClockWorkMod (CWM) or any modifications of any kind.
Unzip Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip and place update.zip on the root of your SD card.
I should also mention this is Honeycomb 3.2 for those that don't keep track of the build numbers (and who can blame you?), and this DOES have a locked bootloader. But, nevertheless, and valid source for flashing and other things!

Thanks for the heads up. Im running Honeyvillain 1.2 but Im curious about the GEN2, as Im in the US as well. I dont know what the differences are, but so far its working smooth, smoother than any other ROM out there.

No one seems to show GEN2 any love. Its all GEN1 and CUS7. For those that want GEN2 (I live in US), well here you are. A full image for Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. This is not edited in any way. (This means not rooted). This is probably not going to be useful to the average person. For a modified (but rooted) ROM of this, look here
This is not OTA and can be used without ClockWorkMod (CWM) or any modifications of any kind.
Unzip Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip and place update.zip on the root of your SD card.
I should also mention this is Honeycomb 3.2 for those that don't keep track of the build numbers (and who can blame you?), and this DOES have a locked bootloader. But, nevertheless, and valid source for flashing and other things!

Yea I wouldn't worry 2 much about GEN2. If you have a choice, get GEN2. Otherwise it doesnt matter. The differences are mostly system files related to keyboards and databases and such from what I have dissected.
Like spelling color as colour and other oddities.
That and different bloatware, not all the same as the US

He has been PM'd

Ah, got it. Thanks again.

Thanks, it's nice to have one thread where one can find the proper stock ROM for their tab. He had no COM2 HC 3.2 ROMs on the list.

Where does anyone get anything? Google, where else?
Do whatever you want with the file. If you search the web log enough you'll find it, too.

The reason I asked where you got it, is because I have been searching since friday for this. I have been searching google for every keyword I could think of.
bdubble said:
thank you so much. you posting this got my tab unbricked. it was saying boot verified failed at the acer logo, i stupidly tried to downgrade from 3.2. i used this and the stock recovery and it booted. i tried with every stock rom on the forum, but couldnt get the decrypter to work, finally your post saved me having to ship it to acer in texas.

Vache has a downgrade image to Acer_A501_1.309.02_COM_GEN1 that will work with the new locked bootloader. Root that image then install CWM THEN install a custom rom. That will prevent the boot verification issue!

Thank you for this info. As soon as I get my replacement, I will do this if needed and install your 3.2 rom. I love having root, but want a 3.2 rom that is not from an a501 constantly asking me to install sim card.

That problem can be solved by adding the line "ro.carrier=wifi-only" in the buildprop (you can do this with es file explorer or root explorer) and reboot.
sorry mis post wrong thread

I live in the us and while I have rooted my a500 I haven't installed a custom rom yet because the few stock roms are gen1. I want to stay as close to stock as possible and would love to have this 7.006.01_com_gen2 with just root and and bootloader fixed. I thought your "clean" rom might work for me but I'd prefer to have just the stock rom with few modifications. Any idea where I might find something like that?

Has anyone running a leaked ICS received the official OTA update?
I want to know too.
I did not. So I flashed this file from cwm. Now I am on the new build, I can tell its not the leaked. http://narod.ru/disk/47240669001.db...f5b/Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1.zip.html
Going to nvflash the unlocked bootloader, will post results.
EDIT
The flash was succesfull and cmw + android boots but to be honest I do not know what to do now.

EDIT
Aaah, maybe I should try to root it, this method works fine.

Yep, been there, done that, installed, uninstalled, reinstalled.. checked for updates.. nothing.
Acer really should just post the files and manual update instructions so people can mirror the downloads and install..
