Did you mean A500, if not where did you get an A501?
Try this:
Search the forum for 'IconiaRoot 1.2'
Works fine on HC 3.1 and no orientation BS to worry about. Also much faster and does include UNroot option.
Thanks a lot, I'll try it and give you the feedback.
No, it's A501.
I got it in my hand since the last friday.
It's not a unreleased product anymore.
I bought 3 A501.
Cheers
Sry but there is no 501....just A500.
You have three A500 units.
There is an A501

There is an A501 - it has a 3G radio. It was due out in Europe by the end of July. I
guess they kept thier promise. No A501 for the US yet, though

Wrong. Maybe you should look at Acer's product portfolio, hmm?
Thanks a lot!!!
It works perfectly!!!! hahahha
But my a501 cannot found the ad hoc hotspot.
I did the modification exactly following the instruction, but why it still doesn't show up the ad hoc hotspot???
Have any idea?
Cheers
Check youn permissions on the ad-hoc file or the program on the phone you are tethering to.u use wireless tether switched from barnacle. As it seems faster.but cost ten bucks
Guys check the web the 501 is available but I think limited areas

Everyone loves a SMARTASS like you I guess. For your information I asked my contact at Acer and he knew nothing about it. Shove that in your pipe and smoke it.

Thank you. At least YOUR post was helpful unlike FATmans there. I will try my other contact and get some information on it.
1. Did you make sure USB Debugging is turned on?
2. Did you make sure Loading from Unknown Sources is turned on?
3. Make sure when you run Gingerbreak, the tablet is in Portrait mode...Gingerbreak will crash if it is run in Landscape mode.
I had that issue last night rooting my replacement A500. I realized I forgot to turn on USB Debugging. If that's the case, turn on USB Debugging and restart the tablet, then run GingerBreak again.

Acer "launched" the A500, A501, A100 and A101 tablets all at the same time, at the various electronics shows around the world. All the news sites online carried news of all 4 models, and their website lists them as well, even in the support section (and the A100 series isn't even available yet).
There's no way an Acer employee wouldn't have known about it if they had anything at all to do with the mobile devices division.
hi there,
if you are still using stock rom on your a501, just dont flash any custom rom from dev section... u will lose 3g functions
but then i think u can help the dev by giving the dumping of your stock rom, maybe to help we a500 users get easier and better 3g
Yes I am sure I did what exactly they told on their articles.
Now I solved that problem with ICONIA Root,so Gingerbreak is crap...

Y'know.. It's REALLY impolite to call something which some guys worked really hard on, did everything they could to help a bunch of freeloaders set their tablets free and didn't ask for a DIME in recompense, a piece of crap.
How about you try to do better, hmm? And when you do (ha!), I'll call it a piece of crap and see how you like it.

I just purchased a Motorola Xoom. I figured as everything I have read, it is the best tablet thus far, I should dive in. I started with a dell streak 5" phone/tablet, and then graduated to a Dell Streak 7" tablet, but the random reboots were killing me, not to mention Dells lack of support (if there ever really was some in the first place.
I've read about the new tegra quad core devices coming out soon, but figured it would be a year or so after they are introduced before the capabilities of that tablet could be fully utilized, and seeing the pages upon pages of support for an already well established device, the Xoom, here I am joining your ranks.
Tracking shows it is out for delivery so I'm giddy with excitement! I'm a true tech-hound, so I am pretty sure most of you understand what I'm saying.
Any suggestions right off the bat? I'd hate to dive in like every other tablet I've used and overlook something.
I also ordered the HD speaker dock. any thoughts on that as well?

Great choice and welcome! I love the Xoom and recommend you get a Team EOS ROM right away. If you're a flashoholic then grab the nightlies if not I would go with the 1.0. Don't you dare use Honeycomb!
I think the HD dock is awesome and has great quality and volume. Use it to watch movies and listen to music quite a bit.

The first thiing you will do upon opening it and connecting via WiFi will be the Android Honeycomb upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich. Go ahead and update that and then spend a couple of weeks with it, reading about the Xoom and its capabilities and customize it. Everything you need to know can be found right here. Enjoy your new Xoom!

If you plan to root your Xoom, it won't matter what version you have because all wifi-only Xooms have the same hardware. They are all wingray devices as far as I know, and can flash the Team EOS ICS wingray rom.
Tried this, but I can't even get clock work mod to install. I keep getting an error message saying device is still locked... looks like I have alot of reading to do to figure this out. I",m very familiar with fastboot & CWM, but a new device is a.always a news device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

You would have to do unlock first...
To do this you would need the fastboot drivers from motodev (don't just install drivers from moto, you need the motodev ones).
After you have the drivers and adb setup, then you can boot your device to the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader
then after your device entered the bootloader and your computer registered it, then type fastboot oem unlock on the adb
then follow on screen instructions on your tablet to get it unlocked.
Once unlocked you are ready to flash the trivial stuff.
I unlocked, installed CWM and rooted my WiFi Xoom using this tutorial. Can highly recommend it.
that´s true,
i unlocked my new xoom with universal root -> dev section
flashed CWM - and then flashed a lot of nightly´s
now i am on EOS 1.0 and it rocks!
Hooray! I found a post that explains how to change the OS to a US version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106&highlight=mz604+unlock
I researched how to unlock the bootloader, and once done, I followed these instructions. It put me back to the original honeycomb, and then after 4 updates, I am now on the stock version of ICS.
I'm very excited!
I'm going to play with this to get used to it, but everywhere i read it seems that the ROM Team Eos ICS 1.0.0, is the way to go.
Can anyone tell me why?

EOS ICS Rom 1.0.0 is very stable and very full-featured. You will be blown away.
guys one question but it´s a little off topic:
would you recommend to buy the xoom or wait for the new quadcore tablets ( like asus or huawei ).
I mean the xoom is already one year old and costs about 380€ for the 3g version...
thanks in advance!

I thought about this exact situation extensively before I bought my Xoom (wingray) two weeks ago. My final selling point is that the Xoom is a year old, so all of the bugs have been worked out, multiple stable working ROM's are available, and it is updated with ICS! I realize there are newer tablets out there, with quad core processors, and I'm sure they are fantastic! But the Xoom is fantastic in & of itself! I may upgrade in another year or two, but the Xoom is an incredible device and I've tried multiple tablets, from the dell streak 5, 7 & iPad 2 to the kindle fire, and I love my xoom the most!

[Q] modelnumber changed. Problem?
Works also fine on a P5110.
Only the modelnumber info changed on my Tab from P5110 to P5113. Could that cause any kind of problems?
Since i'm a newbie on tablets, i don't know if there are any model related apps or so that could cause troubles.
Grtz,
John
This condition is common on android phones especially the first Galaxy series ,some of the early roms available for phones like the Epic 4g and Epic touch where derived from European leaked roms early in the development stages, I guess that it was because Samsung had not released official firmware, this would cause a model number change at boot up but I never noticed any kind of ill affect or problems with apps running properly.

i'v bought my tab2 10.1 in the Netherlands, its a GT-P5110.
i Flashed the rom on the tab, so it registers as a GT-P5113.
everything runs great, one 1 thing that i encounter,
i have 2 WiFi router in my house, one in the loft. the 1st one was set on channel 5, and the 2end on channel 13.
after i booted my tab a scanned for WiFi access point i only saw the one transmitting on channel 5, after setting the 2end router to channel 7 i worked like a charm.

I discoverd that you get 48Gb extra free space on Dropbox if you login on Dropbox with this ROM

So since my N7 doesn't have WAN connectivity, I'm trying to play with any/all apps that take advantage of anything wireless. I know there's the standard NFC, BT, WiFi apps, but I recently learned of this new thing called WiFi Direct. Does anyone know of any apps that use this new technology? I came across one which I posted about here, which I thought was really cool so i'm looking for other apps that use this kind of wireless P2P connectivity. Anyone know of anything else besides Tapestry?

Nothing? There's really only one app in the Android world that uses WiFi Direct? Either these guys are onto something or they're screwed!
Wi-Fi Direct is just beginning to get places, it seems. I know it's a feature that Miracast will utilize when it comes out in a few months, and most of "smart"/wifi tvs will be compatible with it.
But who knows?
-Ara
WiFi Direct is already supported in many connected TV's today...its just that CE companies do a poor job productizing it, and advertising it.
if you want to connect from android device to android device for transmitting media, check this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
different from tapstry (that is a presentation app) WiFi Shoot is a direct share app, and works with ICS.
this was developed by yours truly, and I developed it exactly because I noticed there was nothing out there for WiFi Direct
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.
