I updated from stock 3.2.1 to 4.0.3 using a rom that I downloaded from XDA because I was not receiving the OTA upgrade and got impatient. The upgrade went fine.
My current build number is: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1
Is there any difference from the OTA upgrade? If so, how can I go about changing from this rom to the regular version?

Hey,

The title pretty much says it all. Once you downgrade to root can you reapply the 8.2.3.13 firmware?

Once you're rooted, you can flash any ROM that has root.
If you update using a non rooted ROM you will loose root.
At this point however if you downgrade to root, flash a 3.1 ROM instead of just going back to .13

Which version of the rooted ota do you have installed?

Or is it more like "was rooted before upgrading"?
Yeah my bad, I waited til they released a rom with the official upgrade, hope that makes sense
If your rooted and just running a rooted "official update" ROM then you can flash whatever you want. As long as you didn't accept the Gingerbread upgrade pushed out from Sprint and still have s-off your good to go.

I have a Similar Question.. Im In the US though.. But I have the stock rom.. Not modified.. But it is rooted with the Gingerbreak app...
Does this need to be undone to get the update.. or are updates still enabled with it being rooted?
Same here in Canada. No OTA notification, rooted stock 3.01.
I was rooted when I received my notification. If you don't want to lose root and are sick of waiting on the update please see this post to flash the official OTA using CWM:
ROM - Stock 3.1 4.010.07 - Update with CWM
I was able to receive an OTA before when I was rooted (not 3.1 though) so it's most likely that the update is not available in your regions yet.

Hey,
I need some assistance with updating my Taboonay 2.0 (HC 3.2) A500 to ICS (i prefer stock)
The device is rooted and has some old version CWM installed.
OTA obviously doesn't work...
What should I do and where do i start?
Thanks!

if youb prefer stock flash a stock rom and get the ota
If you want to go back to stock, install one of the ROMs from here.
If you want to update to a newer custom ROM, then you will most likely have to unlock your bootloader. I think you have to install a newer stock ROM first though. This thread has a guide to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks,
I just flashed a stock ROM and did the OTA update, worked perfectly!
