I was running Thor Rom, but I installed the update, but from This thread and others, even the ones I had to decrypt first. The update always went smooth and ICS looks and works great; except....
Any time the screen goes to sleep, or I press the power button to turn off the screen, the screen won't wake up. OK, correction, it WILL wake up if I turn it on within ~10 seconds, but wait longer than ~20 seconds and it won't come back on. I have to press and hold the power button to apparently shut it down (hard to tell because you can't see anything and there are no indicator lights). Then I have to press and hold it again and it boots back up.
Hence, I have to press and hold the power button for several seconds twice each time I want to use it.
I'm not sure if it's shutting down or just hard freezing. I can't seem to shake this. It didn't do this with the old stock rom or Thor.
Ideas?
Currently Running the following on my A500 1.0

Build: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1
same problem
I have the same problem, I updated my tablet via the acer update and now it does that :/
First I thought it was some problem with a program I had installed, but then did a factory reset and left a couple programs and still doing that.
Im going to try to hold the reset button to see what happens.
This issue is known to occur with several custom ROMs and is referred to as the Sleep of Death or SoD. It occurs when the tablet goes into deep sleep and refuses to wake up. Thor has suggested those affected and using his ROM to increase the voltages of their CPU or flash his performance kernel. If you are using Stock ICS from Acer then I think there's a thread documenting issues with it. You can check that, it should be in the general section. Hope this helps. It happened to me only once and I can't recall which ROM, but it never happened again.

That's just the thing, I want the stock ICS and I thought I had it (still think I do!). I'd like to go back to stock to make things work correctly. However, there is no 'check update' button for me in my settings. I have no way of looking for an OTA update that I can find. I'm dumb at times, but not that dumb.
I have the same problem and I'm running CM9 now. I started with the same ICS update that you listed in your first post. I have two GEN1 ICS updates I think I'm going to try. Since the problem has transcended roms (Stock ICS to CM9) I'm thinking this is a firmware issue with the CUS update. I read a thread that said (man I'm rhyming tonight...) the CUS didn't come with some firmware images that the GEN ones did.
EDIT: Since I'm on the V3 Bootloader I don't think I can install these updates. I decrypted them, but it's still failing to install. Probably have to be on the stock bootloader for these to work.

I downgraded my tablet back to 3.2 using info in one of the Dev threads. Then I let it update with OTA updates to 3.2.1. I then had to install the Acer Update Helper app on the play store in order to get it to update to ICS. The point of all this is that until I went back to a stock 3.2 I could not do an OTA update as the roms were not stock.
Then once I was on stock 4.0.3 ICS I was STILL getting SoDs. I put in a trouble ticket to Acer and the response I got was to do a full hardware reset (power off, hold power and volume up until it vibrates, then toggle the screen lock switch a couple times.) I finally got back to installing a custom rom (flexreaper r13) and I now no longer have SoDs. A lot of work but I think I'm finally stable.

That's what I had installed when I started the process. Of course it eventually got overwritten with the unpatched stock bootloader, but that was easily fixed.

How did you manage that? I need to figure something out because right now I can't set my tablet down for two minutes without doing a hard reset. Over clocking helps, but it's got limits. Not to mention the wifi...Man it's horrible now!

There are a lot of threads I'm sure but I recently Odin dk28 and accepted ec05. I checked for ota and it never came thru so I found a site and dl the update. Simple rename and went to factory recovery and installed.
I was worried about a data wipe this way but it did not. It installed perfectly and is running great. No data loss. Took me 15 mins total.
After trying all gbread leaks and many countless roms this ota seems to be working very well on the old epic. Breathes life back into it.
Linpacks 18ish and quadrants 1700+ for me w 24 apps. Overall very very happy for a stock phone. The epic should have had this a long time ago
yepper, just dl'd and I am impressed. All around worth the wait update. Doubt we get anything else, but it'll keep me happy....till I update to a new phone.
Any chance you have the link for where to download it. Would like to do it for my girlfriends phone

I uploaded the zip I downloaded to update to 2.3.5
You need to apply this to a stock Froyo EC05 phone via stock recovery.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8DFupwiCOXyZGY2MzU4ZGUtNDlkNS00ODVhLTg3MTMtYjUyMzI1MGY4MGU1
It is in my google docs folder.
If google asks you to login; just use a different browser than IE. I have it set as public but it seems IE and google docs don't talk well.
Rename that zip to update.zip and copy it to the sd card, turn the phone off and boot into stock recovery. Then choose install from update.zip
Good luck
Thanks for the link, I got it. My only question is I don't remember the recovery boot up sequence, I have an EVO and if I remember correctly the Epic has a 3 button press to get there...
Sorry I know this is extremely noobish sounding, but I have never messed with her phone outside of loading DK28
Are there random reboots? That was the only thing holding me back from going to gb

Write-protected file?
When I try to move the file to my SD card it says the file is write protected. I have no idea what that means. Any clues anyone?
i am sooooo annoyed with this ota because my phone hasnt recieved it yet!!!! ive manualy update the firmware and android like five times a day since i herd it was released but still no luck i know that i can get the update from the forums but i just want to feel the satisfaction of getting it OTA after months of WAITINGGGG for this to be released i dont just want to cheat and get it the easy way... anybody else with me or should i just stop being stubbern and get the update files?
I got notice for ota update but I when I tried it, no update available.
I had my Iconia working well with OTA 3.1 unrooted and it all started when I decided to update it 3.2 and then root it but after updating i realised that there was no root for 3.2 so i searched for a way to do so and i found the "downgrade to 3.0.1(unstable) then root" way and followed it and got my Iconia with the 3.0.1(unstable) downgrade and rooted it with "gingerbreak" and downloaded "acer recovery installer" and got "virtuous galaxy 1.0.5" rom and that's when every thing went wrong after i flashed it with the recovery mode it booted but was unusable it kept on force closing and lagging and nothing worked it didn't even respond to my touches.
I reseted the device many times but in vain so i decided to reflash the downgrade file "3.0.1(unstable)" and remove the root and re-update to 3.2 as if nothing happened but just when i reflashed the downgrade it booted but didn't even give me the chance to do anything it became really "unstable" it kept on force closing the launcher as if i'm stuck in a loop and i don't know what to do as i don't have that much knowledge so i left it closed as it is (so as not to ruin it more ) and want anyone to PLZ HELP me to return back to stock 3.2 (totally stock as if i just bought it) with no roms or root .
Thanks in advance to anyone who did or didn't help
I solved it i managed to get to settings in the 1 second interval between the successive force closes and then pressed factory default and like magic every thing was good as new at last.
Thanks to everybody helped me ...... no one even replied
Well 46 minutes isn't that long in forum-reply terms
Anyways. Good you got it fixed. Did you install Clockworkmod from Acer Recovery Installer, a full wipe followed by a fresh ROM from here flashed using CWM would likely have fixed it.

Next time, you can reset your tablet by going: power button + right volume button (when held landscape with power button on top left corner)
power button + left volume button boots to recovery.
I have been trying out a couple Ics roms, all of which claim have no SOD, but I'm still having problems. I have tried
Lightspeed 4.2
Latest icylicious
Tabooney 3.0.1
I guess to be sure, what I'm experiencing is every seems to work fine, but if the screen goes off for more than a couple seconds, it won't come back on. I have to hold the power button for a few seconds, then let go, the hold down the button again it turns on again fine.

I guessed that I still have the boot loader that I installed back when I got my a500 last summer. I thought the ICS boot loader was unstable or something. Should I try the other bootloader that is posted?
Edit: I checked in thee Acer Recovery Installer app and it says I have bootloader 3.01
The SoD is usually caused by the bootloader, but it's possible you didn't wipe something when you flashed one of the ROMs. Personally, I'm running the version of AmonRA we have (though that's not fully compatible with Acer Recovery Installer), and on top of that I have Vache's ICS leak, complete with his 3.0.1 patch. I have no SoD issues at all with this configuration.
You DID do a full wipe, right?

I tried both icylicious and flexreaper and could not get rid of the SOD either. I have the 3.01 bootloader and have wiped and formatted and wiped some more. Everyone keeps saying the SOD is because I didn't do a full wipe. I'm back on 3.2.1 now.
Did you check if an ICS incompatible app might be the reason?

I thought an app might have been at fault so I did fresh formats/wipes and didn't restore any apps to be sure but still got SOD. The screen goes to sleep normally then after a short time reboots and gets stuck until I press power to turn off, then power back on.
Thanks everybody, it was the bootloader. Just for closure, here is what I did.
Install leaked ICS from here
Fix the bootloader and recovery from this thread
Install ROMs like normal
Thanks again
Had SOD all the time with flexreapper, installed newest thor's and all SODs gone. I guess the issue is specific to ICS' ROMs based on the leak.

NEXT time, Google should become a resource for you..... But this time, V1.7.1 I believe is latest 'touch' version.
SOD ain't there on LEAK version...
ROOT can be done on LEAK version...
the problem for sure is from CUSTOM
There's no SOD in the custom ROM's built from the leaks, either; as long as you followed the instructions properly.
Try this out. Finally worked for me.
Hey a little late here, but I have had SoD for months. I have tried everything (new bootloader, several roms), but nothing seemed to work. I finally tried flashing a custom kernel separately after I flash the rom and it seems to be working now.
Here is the ezterry A500 rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703590 and its a zip so you flash just like a rom. Good luck everyone who has the same problem.
I have updated to ICS via OTA.
Now, if i open keypad to dial it first shows grey screen for 2seconds and then the numbers appears... Same with contacts.
I also got couple of times black screen as if phone frooze.
Once, even i got scrambled green images on screen which got corrected by pressing Home button multiple times.
Apart from this, Phone seems to be running fine.
So, how can i myself solve this problem now OR Do i have to go to Samsung service centre and let them reinstall ICS?
PS:
I am using Indian official ICS Baseband Ver. LP4 & Build Number LP8.
I have never rooted and was on Stock GB before the urgrade.
I fear if i try to fix this ICS problem myself i will run into bricking problem.
UPDATE
See post 7 & 13 Below
I had this issue but after i wired data using code *2767*3855# everything worked smoothly.
You can try this at your own risk as it might brick if yor device has emmc bug. I have already done it over 15 times and no issue

I rooted my Note after about two days so not sure if this will work on non-root....
Reboot into recovery (Power+Vol Up + Home) then clear cache and clear Dalvik cache. Reboot then see if lag continues. Clearing caches and reboot seems to get rid of lags and gives phone a new life
Today again phone got frooze on homescreen for 5mins and got back to life again after pressing Home key numerous times
So yes, something is wrong with this ICS update.
Plz provide a solution and also mention if tht solution can lead to bricking bug..
BUMP.
I had exactly the same problems while updating Gb to ICS using OTA update. Anywhow, I never got to fix this. I would try following steps:
Clean the cache of your ICS installations/apps using any Cache-cleaning tool on the Play Store
Reboot your phone like 2-3 times (sometimes this seems to fix some problems with your kernel/rom since they have to settle down.
Update all your apps to their latest versions, since most apps have fixes for ICS installations, and might slow your phone a bit down in some way

When you still would have problems with your ICS installations I would recommend installing a custom rom over your stock ICS installation. This did the trick for me eventually.. But depends on if you would like to have a stock or custom ICS rom.

I tried the above suggestion and done Factory Format via *2767*3855#.
Now, after entering code the device havent rebooted for the next 15mins, so i pressed the power key to reboot manually and then i got the message format failed or sumthing similar which i dont seem 2 recall.
Now, all my Smemo data & camera images is wiped... but phone numbers and messages intact.
and the originally mentioned problem is still there..... So wht is my solution now ?
I want to delete every old system files & Clean-install ICS - So Is it via kies?

Since you did nothing wrong that could void your warranty, and you don't know too much about fixing it yourself, save yourself the hassle and let a Service center take cre of it for you .
I thought I'd start a thread solely dedicated to problems with the upgrade since the announce thread seems to be getting loaded fast.
I'm one of those with problems, but don't know why. The first boot was great. I rebooted, and now stuck in endless boot loop. My tablet is encrypted, so I have to type password initially, then type it again, and I'm at my desktop, but while it's loading apps, it freezes, crashes, and begins all over again. I'm going to try to wipe data to solve this, which sucks because I spent a lot of time putting my app collection together (well, it seemed like a lot of time ) but I need to unstick this.
I would try cold booting it...it may help.
I downloaded the update this morning, it stopped at 95%. I then rebooted and the download finished...went to install it, passed the integrity check but errored our on installing (android with red triangle).
So it booted back into ICS. Went to check for update again and no Update found message....rebooting,cold rebooting, removing the . blob file isnt working...i am stock rooted with stock build.prop.....only thing not stock is the boot animation. Someone help me out or let me know how to manually update this thing....I would really hate to have to factory reset but I am willing to do it as a last resort.
Edit: I had some frozen apps that I forgot to defrost...so anyone that renamed system apps or froze them with titanium...you need to get them back working then reboot before applying the update. Learn from my experience.
stuck on a boot loop too :/ it boots and it after a couple of seconds restarts. Tried doing cold boot once and keeps doing it
Fixed it unnistalling EZoverclock

Wish I would have seen that earlier. The wipe helped in the loop regard, but I'm having trouble getting my root back. Checker says no, voodoo acts like it doesn't need to restore anything. I do seem to still have root access via ADB though.
Anyone got any command line knowledge to get things back in order so root checker will show green again?

For now it feels about the same, I had a bunch of tweaks that helped the past FW be better, so right now without those tweaks it feels pretty good

I'm experiencing major issues since the update. was rooted w/ a modified build prop file. restored original build.prop file and saved root w/ OTA rootkeeper and unrooted before I upgraded. I even rebooted the tab. The download & install of the JB firmware went flawlass. But now I keep getting the same error messages/force close boxes, one right after the other - process.com.google.gapps, Google Account Manager, among other Google apps (Google Talk, Picassa), also saw an Asus Sync in there. They all appear to be sync and account related apps. I did a factory reset figuring it would clear out all accounts, syncing & whatever is causing the force closings and they still pop up as soon as I boot up to the JB screen. I cant re-add my account b/c Google Account Manager has force closed. Not sure what my options are besides using my warranty and trading this one in. anyone experiencing the same issue and have any ideas on how to solve it?
I haven't tried to get into recovery yet, usually turn off device and power on pressing either volume up or down + power button and see if you can factory reset / wipe dalvik cache from there
tried a factory reset a few times that way, no dice. my bootloader is still locked so I never installed TWRP or CWM to keep my warranty intact or else I'd reflash the JB update. but as it came as an OTA, i think I'm pretty screwed here
This may sound crazy to you, but if you've already wiped then it doesn't matter. Go and get the .30 firmware from Asus, extract the first zip into root of sdcard, the extract will be a zip too. Tablet should pick it up, think its a downgrade and prompt you to continue. It reloads, but when finished you will still be on jellybean. That's what I did to solve another problem and that was the result. Not what I wanted but it might help you.

that does sound pretty crazy, but I'm crazy enough to try it. what issue were you having that you thought to try this method? and did it solve it. "not what I wanted" makes me think it didn't help you. so you say it picks it up like a downgrade, but doesn't actually downgrade anything? i'm thinking the upgrade didn't go thru correctly and some system apps didn't update properly causing all my issues. I even called ASUS to RMA this pad, they didn't even know the JB update was rolling out, telling me the lastest OTA was still ICS. they are clueless.
Is it possible to downgrade to previous firmware to restore all of my originally installed apps? It seems if you root, then uninstall system apps the jellybean update fails. I factory reset, but it seems that whatever you uninstall or modify doesn't get restored that way. I'm reluctant to go through pushing .30 over via adb. Is there a way I can just drop an update.zip on my internal sdcard and reboot into recovery somehow? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty confident I can root jelly bean by manipulating the file system. I'll leave that for later. Just waiting for CM10 to become a bit more stable before pulling that trigger. The asus firmware isn't so bad anyways. So....how do I "downgrade" to .30 or even .29 and restore the tablet to pure factory???
AFAIK you can't, you need to find out what system apps you removed and push them back using adb then reboot

Surely I can take a factory blob and push it over. I'm looking at a downgrade guide now. The blob is over 300 megs. Surely it has all the system apps with it.
The full ICS blob was 800MB. The upgrade.zip for the JB update alone was 300MB using patch.
The problem I am having is some weird force closes in the Settings app. But nothing too major there.
I came from a fully stock ICS, so the improvement in browsing (Chrome, especially) is much better.
There are still some stuttering in the OS, but overall I am pleased with the improvements.
I am finding that I cannot change the keyboard locale when attached to the dock. THis isn't a huge deal for me though.

My issue was...
I was rooted on .30. After the update to jb I got stuck in a reboot loop. It got to the desktop then crashed.
Thought I could resolve by wiping data. When I did that, lost root and cannot get it back due to updates to the permissions of the /data folder.
So I thought why not try and reinstall .30. And you know my result.
I learned later my looping was most likely caused by the ezoverclock app, but I read that too late. So I'm on jb without root and appear to be stuck that way until another exploit is found or I unlock the boot loader.

gotcha. I can't even get past the Google account screen, that crashes immediately. I tried loading the .30 firmware on the SD card but since I can't get to the desktop, it won't pick it up to update. I can only get to the settings screen. I could probably unlock the bootloader and flash another ROM to get me thru this, but I'd like to keep it locked. going to get this RMA'd as soon as their system gets back up.

I could probably unlock the bootloader and flash another ROM to get me thru this, but I'd like to keep it locked. going to get this RMA'd as soon as their system gets back up.

Perhaps there is one more thing you can try.
As part of the update the bootloader got updated. I was playing with this last night and I see a new USB graphic to choose. If you select it you can engage the tablet via fastboot. Now other than initial contact and a couple of minor test commands I didn't do anything with it, but perhaps you could flash the ROM with that?? It will load USB drivers for boot loader interface when you do this the first time.
BTW if you don't know, hold power and vol down to get to it, then when you see the graphics keep pressing vol down until the USB symbol lights up, then press vol up.
