I did some searching and did not find a direct answer to this. Feel free to lock this thread if this has been answered.
I flashed back to my original stock ROM from when I rooted my device. I went through the series if updates, to this morning and and updated to ics. I have lost root access. So the question is.... Is there a way to root my device on ics without downgrading. I got to have my AD free and battery saving app

this worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546593
I saw this earlier. I guess the leak could be what I have? I will have to check the firmware and compare it to what is listed. Thanks btw I will try this later tonight and update if this worked.

I have same situation. I had rooted HC 3.2.1. Yesterday I made the update to stock ICS. I have to say that I am not happy with this new rom. It is not so smooth and fast that I expected. I am intrested to install some nice and fast custom rom. How to do it? What is need to be done to root and install the ClockworkMod??????
Worked perfectly and easily on mine. Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1
I used the method as above, coming from the stock ota. And it worked I was able to use the battery saver and TB. I don't have a custom recovery, in order to do a back up for the time being but that is okay for now.
Edit: I see there is a bunch more threads started with this same topic so feel free to shut this down.
Hey did you unroot before installing the OTA ICS update? Also, what about recovery?
Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2
Just to clarify, the root method for the ICS leak works on the US ICS OTA? (Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2)
I just want to make sure, as I am being offered the OTA update from stock rooted Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2. I want to make sure I can re-root if I do the update. Otherwise, I'll just wait for a CWM-flashable rooted version. Or has someone already posted that that I've missed?
Yes I was rooted. Then went back to my original stock ROM and stock recovery then went through all the updates. I updated this morning to the stock ics from Acer. Then used the thread above to root again. However I do not have a custom recovery at the moment but root access apps are working just fine. Which is all I need for now.(I live in southern Michigan)
thanks. A question about your custom recovery...Does Acer Recovery Installer no longer work to install CWM again? Or have you just not attempted to re-install CWM?

okay cool thanks. What did you use to unroot? For flashing back to stock recovery I will use "Acer Recovery Installer".
I tried using iconiaroot which I used to root but it still won't unroot my tablet. I even tried restarting and still nothing.
I lost root when doing the updates to clarify. And no I do not have a recovery at the moment, which I don't need because I am running ics with rooted apps that is all I need. I have no reason to flash a custom ROM. I will let the developers work with this for a bit and I will probably check it or later

Okay great thanks. Glad to know it still worked, flashing the ota update with still having root. Only thing that worries me is I flashed back to stock recovery using that program an went I booted to recovery, it was exclamation point inside a triangle. Hope that doesn't affect my update process.

I hope a root option comes out that doesn't require a ROM like gingerbreak. Maybe it's not possible for ICS or there aren't any developers interested in working on it, I don't know, but I'll wait.
It shouldn't your stock recovery is different then a custom recovery ie cwm. You will have to find another thread or something to flash a custom recovery. If your wanting to have a custom ROM. I have no need for it. So to put this into a nut shell.
Flash back to stock ROM (honeycomb)
Flash stock recovery.
Except the ota.
Use the link in first post to"re root"your device.
You will have a stock ROM from Acer that has root access. No recovery.
I Hope this makes it clear as mud:sly:

okay. sorry for all the questions, but does it matter what version of HC I'm on? You say flash back to stock, is that just if I was running a custom rom? I can't find the sdcard I have my backups on but I'm running completely stock 3.2.1 HC. Just rooted and running CWM.
No ICS Update for me, Rooted 3.2, Need Help!
I thought having my tablet simply rooted wouldnt cause a big issue, i didnt flash it, im still running 3.2 gen 2 but no update for ics has appeared, when checking for update it says im up to date, ive checked several times, tried looking into it seeing if i had to unroot somehow which ive found no program that will unroot my tablet successfully i do not want to wipe because last time i rooted it wiped and i lost alot of important data i couldnt back up. Someone please advise me or send me the Canadian/USA Update Zip or other location for the official ics. Thanks!
Well I tried cm9 and latest 4.0.4 from Germany... In both I had a screen yellowish tint blinking issue... After flashing stock 4.0.4 I managed to root it via Dr . Ketan method... And also got cwm but cwm won't stick
That said I was looking forward to flash a safe kernel but I was afraid of doing it via cwm because I handle 4.0.4 as non safe (super brick bug infested) so I didn't dare to do so... So with no other option but Odin I didn't want to activate the binary counter because I wanted to return the phone because the yellow screen issue..
In was OMG how can I get rid of this w/o bricking my phone.. Well I have downloaded abyss kernel then momentary flashed cwm and then flashed abyss... When I rebooted the recovery a counter started and freaked me out... I let it count to 10.000 and got tired of it... I thought my phone was dead...
Then I turned it off and did the recovery sequence and it booted into the red cwm(abyss recovery) then wiped everything from there and installed a custom gb rom.
.. Luckily everything went fine and the custom rom booted perfectly.. In fact I'm using it right now checkrom notehd v6 its smooth as hell...
I can not reproduce the yellowish tint here and will try stock gb tomorrow and see if I can get the issue running... I'm worried because if I can't get the issue in gb then I can't claim warranty because it clearly says that I lose it if I change the software and it says the phone comes with android 2.3.6 so that means I'm stuck with gb..
I rebooted into Odin mode to see if something happened to the binary counter..
. And well everything seems fine but but but... I'm really worried about the screen issue as I proved its not hardware issue... How can I claim my warranty?
And wow what a pain in the ass to get rid of 4.0.4 without voiding warranty...

to get back to gb you just have to flash any gb rom through odin... There was not need to go through the custom kernel for downgrade. .also on Ics, as long as you don't factory reset/wipe you are safe from any brick provided you know what you are doing with the phone and what apps you are installing.

Yeah but as there is some roms that performs full wipe or non wipe and I'm not really sure that's the case for the stock roms from sammobile and or if Odin do a factory reset before flashing I was scared as hell
Noone provides clear steps here for doing things... So I followed what seemed more logical... Wich was getting a safe kernel to wipe without increasing the binary counter
Those "how to upgrade" guides should include at least a link for the safest way to "how to downgrade"
Nvm the point it's still the screen issue I want to know why it happens un ics and not in gb at least in this custom rom... I'm on... I want to change my phone but if I can not prove the issue I can not get a replacement
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
You can get any rom from SAMMOBILE that says "kies" after the version... those are official roms rolled over kies which are always non wipe...
Or you could flash speedmod kernel 3-7 using ODIN, that's a safe kernel (brickbug free), on 4.0.4 and then flash anything you want, no worries about brick...

And if you downloaded a rootable gb rom you can simply follow the rooting method as per the sticky and install cm9 from there

Ever since I aware of the "brick" problem, I have not done a single wipe whenever I need to flash a new ROM. I have not encountered any big problem. :fingers-crossed:
So, for me, is just 2 steps:
1. Flash Abyss kernel.
2. Flash the ROM.
That is it (of course you need get it rooted 1st). The only thing is, 1st boot after flash ROM would take longer to boot up. I did run adb logcat to view the output to make sure the phone is still running/loading though...
So far, Criskelo ROM is the best for me. So I would stick with this ROM for now.

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?

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.

Hey I'm new to the forums but been reading them for a while and I just have a question with OTA updates. I have a nexus 4 that's been rooted and have clockwork mod. I have also flashed the .33 baseband on 4.2.2. I have stock rom but Franco kernel however I backed up the stock kernel with his updater app.
I know I can't OTA with the kernel but flashing the stock one is no big deal. Can I OTA with the rest being on there?
Also if I do the lte wifi hotspot fix will that stop the OTA update as well?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
As long you have clockwork mod on the rom you can not OTA...its always going to be manual way of flashing the OTA and that process will remove clockwork mod but using apps like voodoo keeps you rooted so you can easily install clockwork mod again after the update.
No Recovery+Stock ROM+Stock Kernel+Stock Latest Radio= auto OTA update.
I hope that made sense..but i could be wrong but that's what works for me.

So if anything is modded at all except for basic root I won't be able to apply the update that arrives to my phone directly right? I will have to flash it in cwm? I assume I will have to wipe cache and such before I apply the zip right?
Do I have to revert anything back stock or can I just flash the zip directly over what I have now and just re apply the kernel and baseband?

You don't have to wipe.It does not matter if you wipe or not, you will still lose your base band, you'll just have to flash the old baseband again. As for the kernel if the ota comes with a new kernel your old stock kernel will be replaced with the new one in the ota.
You actually can accept a ota update with a custom recovery but you have to be stock everything else, no other mods or anything. The ota will install fine and youll see that it goes through your custom recovery when updating. After the update you will lose root and your custom recovery however unless you recovery someone holds onto it.
As I know, we need to modify something after installing custom recovery. Else, stock recovery will be installed upon reboot. So even after modifying, OTA still works ?

No it doesn't overwrite anything. It just fails.
OTA's contain patches. Not complete files. If the original file isn't there it will abort.
I can see how this can be confusing because it is different from custom roms.

But thats only if he has the lte fix right. So if he just flashes a stock kernel without that patch, the ota could work.
For example the stock boot.img
I'm rooted with cwm, custom kernel and old baseband, stock rom. I mean I can very easily revert my kernel back to stock and flash the newest baseband.
The only thing is there's a bunch of stuff I might want to do more but don't want to make it hard to update since it's important to me.

Yep. The phone needs to be 100% stock with the exception of the recovery to complete the OTA. If the files,kernel,radio, etc. are replaced to the original state you'd be good to go.

Just as I wrote above, You can do as many modifications as you want, just make sure you bring the phone back to stock before you flash the OTA.zip, otherwise it will fail.
When the new OTA comes out I will update my OTA Help-Desk thread with all the new requirements.

i have TWRP, i had flashed it to WanamLite rom , but things didnt work great, many problems, then i switched back to a backup of my original stock rom, but some things didnt work like whatsapp and this podcast app, things just messed up. i did a factory reset, still weird stuff going on.
how can i go back to a stock loader and stock rom, anyone know a page where they keep stock software around????

Get a 4.4.2 stock ROM for your region from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.

Go to SamMobile.com, sig in and select your model and zone code (CSC). In your case is Honk Kong (TGY).
ok great i downloaded the stock rom!! i havent tried it yet it's a little late, do you guys think its better to just keep the TWRP bootloader or try to go back to the stock bootloader?

I dont understand what you mean. You are mixing btw bootloader and recovery. I recommend u flash TWRP (coz you are using android 4.2.2 and you dont have KNOX) for flash CUSTOM ROMS in the future if your wish :highfive:

You are confused between bootloader and recovery.
Twrp is a custom recovery and you don't really need to go back to stock.
