[Q] Accidentally flashed A501 rom on A500. *solved* - Acer Iconia A500

Hey,
Coming from 3.2.1, I flashed the this 4.0.3 rom: Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1
Worked fine, but I wanted to be able to install the German OTA update. So I thought I could do that by flashing a 3.2 stock rom and then receive 4.0.3 over the air.
But then I accidentally flashed this A501 rom: "Acer_A501_4.017.03_EMEA_CUS7" from here
I tried flashing the 4.0.3. update I previously had installed, but it doesn't work. Installations seems to finish, but after a reboot it is still 3.2 and my model ist shown as A501.
Is there anything I can do?
EDIT:
Forget it, after the 4th try it just worked. Sorry, can someone delete this post?

You can flash stock room with root but you will not be able to install ota. You would have to go stock without root for it to update via ota

[Help] Need and I9020A GRJ22 fully stock Nandroid

I'm trying to update my phone from 2.3.4 --> 2.3.6 but I have modified my kernel so I get "status 7" when updating in CWM. I don't have a nandroid from before I changed the kernel in my phone so I was wondering if anyone had one.
I have a telus Nexus S so it's an I9020A so I believe that I need GRJ22.
Or is there any other method I can use?
edit: thanks it works.

[Q] How to uninstall a CROM and update officially again?

Hello people. I'm with Taboonay ROM, but I want to reinstall the official version again and update to official ICS.
How can I do it? And how can I root the official ICS?
Just flash a stock rom available, and unroot your tab. Than you can update to ICS.
OK, let me tell, download an official 3.2 stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429199
Flash this rom and you will be without root access, so no need to unroot your tab.
Now you need to upgrade to ICS which you can do easily using upgrade from settings or Acer Update Enhancer Application available in market.
Now for again getting the root access recommend the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546593
Finally thanks the original Developers for there support.
Hmm, strange. I tried to install a stock rom and update it, but it was saying that there wasn't update. I'll try your way. Thanks.
how was it now? are you able to go back to stock rom and update officially? please share your result, if you dont mind

First time Acer Iconia user need help with upgrading

Hi Folks,
I am more into mobile flashing however my dad came with his acer iconia stuck on 3.2.1 and asked me to do an update. Having gone through some of the stickies flashing this tablet somehow seemed a lot more complicated than my s2. However tried going into stock recovery with a stock full rom to upgrade to ics however to my pleasant surprise it came up with CWM v5.0.2.3(thor2002ro rev1.5).
Can someone please advise that can i now simply download a JB custom rom and flash it through this cwm or it requires an updated cwm/thor recovery. Also read somewhere about different bootloaders, pls shed some light on that as well
Thanks
To install an ICS or JB rom you NEED skrilax_cz unlocked bootloader
