UK Slider and any custom ROM - Eee Pad Transformer General

Hay,
About 3 weeks ago my Slider informed me of a software update that i very quickly applied expecting it to be the 4.0.3 ICS update that the US version has...but to my horror i found that it was the generic Transformer TF101 update... not good, as it broke my keyboard!!! When looking in About my Tablet it said it was a Transformer TF101 running Android 4.0.3 Firmware Version 9.2.1.21 - no big problem there but it also said No Mobile Dock connected and the keyboard did not work!!!!
Quick call to Asus, and they informed me that there was no update to ICS for the UK Slider yet and that it should not have been able to download the update. They also told me that to fix it, i would have to send the Slider to them to be re-flashed / replaced as it is not possible to downgrade from ICS to HC - shows how much they know lol!
After rooting and installing CWM i decided to take the plunge and flash a custom ICS rom that claimed to work on the Slider -Revolver 4 RC3 with the compatibly files, but still no dock connected or working keyboard, had the same problem with ADHD so i thought i would try Revolver 3 (HC) but this also failed to fix my dock problem. I gave up and re-flashed back to stock HC and all is good appart from the Slider informing me of the OTA update.
Many people have been saying that the Transformer update would work on the Slider along with many of the custom ROMS such as Revolver and ADHD (or install the compatibility pack and use any), i have tried many ROMS now including the official Slider UK update from the Asus site, that again is just the Transformer one that the Slider downloaded OTA and non of them work with the dock / keyboard.
Any UK Slider owners out there running a custom ROM with working dock, if so which ROM you using??

[Q] Leaked 4.0.3 ICS Back to 3.2.1

I installed the leak after getting pissed about how long it took to get ics and how terrible honeycomb was. The leak has been incredible and made my tab sooth as butter... However I am afraid I won't get the official update which hopefully will be patched to include the ring.
How can I flash back to stock 3.2.1? I have I have looked all over and haven't seen a clear cut solution
Thx
if u r on hc bootloader all things bein equal then try a nand restore - worked for me.
if it doesnt or u on ics bootloader then its an EUU/manual apx downgrade procedure.
i've since flashed flexreaper, acer ring works perfect and so i'm sticking with it till the furore dies down and acer have their rom stable

[Q] Remove [0.0.7.3] CM9 Alpha and restore original ROM

I recently flashed the [ROM][0.0.7.3]ICS CM9 (Alpha) found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580286
The CM9 port is a HUGE improvement over Honeycomb, but due to various reasons, including some apps becoming invisible in the Play Market, I would like to return to either the original stock OTA 2 or OTA 2.5 ROM and then update it to OTA 3 (ICS). However, Lenovo doesn't offer the ICS image directly from their servers; it must be downloaded within Honeycomb as an OTA update.
Being the idiot that I am, I failed to make a backup of my original ROM, so now I'm stuck with the CM9 Alpha.
Does anyone have a backup image of ANY version of Honeycomb (3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc)? Your Thinkpad must be the same model as mine in order for the signature check to work.
I have a rooted Thinkpad Tablet 1838-22U 16GB WiFi (US).
same boat
i did the same thing as above, well i tried to do a backup but at the time i didnt have a big enough sd card around so i said "screw it, i wont want to come back to stock roms now that we have working customs" but custom updates never came and would just prefer to be back on stock so atleast everything works. but have no back up and have tried everything i can think of.
so if anyone out there with a 1838-22u 16gb wifi only us model would be willing to help that would be great, or if anyone knows a way to get around this struggle that would be super.
thanks

Have a ROM now
Xrs,
A friend of mine just gave me copy of his Nandroid backup a few days ago. I flashed it, and it works flawlessly. It is the most recent version of the OTA, ver. 2.5 I think. I would send you a download link, but it is over 4 GB in size! I'll try to figure out a way for you to download it, but if you want to, you can send me $5 on Paypal and I'll ship you a DVD with the files.

Is it still possible to download the backup? My backup doesn't work, and I am stuck. I would really like to go back to the stock ROM.
Thanks

What is your TPT's region and are you looking for a Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich ROM?

Auto-rotation issue seems fixed with 1.054 based ROM

Version 1.041.00 of the OTA ROM was flat busted on my A500.
I've updated to a v1.054.00 based ROM and have not had any rotation issues since. The ROM is called FlexReaper-Relix_rev5 and is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181 If you do not want a custom ROM then Civato has also placed a stock OTA of 1.054.00 (with Root) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633907
I am thinking that perhaps 1.054 is the fabled fix that Acer is putting on devices sent into them for "repair"?
It would be good to know if someone who has received one back from Acer repair can say what specific ROM version is installed when they got it back. Go to Settings -> About Tablet, then report back the Build number and similar info. That would probably help the devs out a bit.
Also, I have the same v7 bootloader as with 1.041, so all that has changed was a version update to the ROM. I also briefly tried Civato's OTA 1.054 ROM and it was not having any issue. I usually had the issue on 1.041 within a few minutes of booting and running just a couple apps.
Knock on wood, hopefully my tablet will remain sane.
Good luck!
