Well, it's better to post in the Q&A with questions.
However, most have probably already been answered, so it's better to use the "search" feature first before creating a new thread.
Most issues, when it comes to changing bootloaders, you should be able to find the answer in either the Bootloader Guide thread, or the Bootloader Thread itself.
If you can't find the answer, then post in the Guide Thread, or the Bootloader Thread. If nobody can answer it, or doesn't answer, then you can create a new thread in Q&A.
Folks around her are generally helpful. I ran most of the Trolls away a few months ago
My best advise. Get your UID number before you even start. Write it down somewhere. We have a guide on how to do that.
Always read the guides. These were written by people who have been at the new unlocked bootloader and 3.2 and ICS from the very beginning. We did the original testing for most of this stuff a long time ago.

Thanks a lot! Very helpful.

One more advice.
When you post questions, and people help you (whether right , or it just didn't work), it's a custom to select the "Thanks" button near their post (reply). It's a nice thing to do. You will find the "Thanks" button located under the user's Avatar.
You are allowed to use the Thanks button 5 times each day I believe.
Welcome to the A500/501 forums!
MD

my A501 arrives today, my goal is to end up with Thor's JB ROM on it. I have a "little" experience from running custom roms on my Motorola Defy, but that bootloader thread is really doing my head in.
I've found this which as a newbie totally makes sense to me and is a great guide for starters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204
Hopefully I can figure out the Bootloader part ok, or could someone recommend a particular bootloader with the end goal of using JB in mind perhaps?

This. Need an adequate post count to post there. And DO NOT create a thread unless you're posting a ROM or Recovery, or something else relevant.
DONT post questions in the Dev Section.

Try it and let us know.
The Android Development section is a sacred place where developers and some testers brainstorm on how to further the Android Experience in a substantial way.
The Q/A or General section is where you can ask about using a specific kernel for your device. But first make sure to search to make sure the question hasn't been asked already.

OK sorry to intrude..
Mods please move
OP, u created ridiculous questions; how to install windows xp in android?, can we flash galaxy nexus kernel in kindle fire?; etc... this world is not easy as u think
why dont you cut the guy a break he is obviously new to all this and there is no point in bashing him.
OP as for your question kernels are device specific and need to be built for that device. So no you can't flash a nexus kernel to a kindle. If you do some searching you should be able to find a good kernel built for what you need. good luck and happy flashing

Thank you... yes I am new to android in general.. I did not know that about kernels. I will stop asking stupid questions now
Its cool man unasked questions never get answers. Don't let people get to you keep asking questions and keep learning.

Do I have the ICS bootloader installed?

I just want to make sure everything worked. I followed the thread by Civato as best I could, I have a new bootloader and recovery installed and running ICS.
I downloaded an app called: Acer Recovery Installer, it tells me I have the following installed:
0.03.14-MUL
Rom is stock ICS:
Acer_AV01_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 --(build #)
Acer_AV01_A500_RV06RC01_WW_CUS1 --(image ver.)

Your answer is.............. yes, you have an ICS BL. Sounds like it anyhow.

Welcome to DEV. You may not realize it , but this board is for dev work only. Honestly, have you even read the rules? Maybe you have issues categorizing things..
Any who, if it says iconia tab a500 as a boot logo, then you have it.
Calm down guys it was the OP's mistake let's not bully them :L
OP: yes it is the wrong section
Everyone else: calm down
Mod: please move topic.

Wrong forum , however ,we want more people to read in here ,less complaints and fubars , 3.14.mul is ICS bl!

Droid Incredible ICS

Hello everyone, this is my first post at xda! Anyways, I have an un-rooted HTC Droid Incredible running an un-modded version of Android (2.3.4 stock rom). I am new to rooting and have never done it before but I am good with technology. So my objective is to root it and get the most stable build of ICS onto it with the easiest possible steps. If anyone wants to help out with a step-by-step tutorial that would be great! Thanks
Check out the stickies in each sub forum. Read, read and re-read them. There's a lot of info to absorb and terms to understand. Everyone here is easy going and willing to help. Read and search, you'll be fine.
Knowing is half the battle.

Hi and welcome to the forum. While I appreciate this is your first post, when you signed up you agreed to the rules of the forum and the first and most important is to search before posting as what you need is more than likely already available or been asked before. If your searches are unsuccessful then do go ahead and ask your questions but post in the correct section of the forum, i.e. questions go in the Q&A section. This information is readily available via a search as has been advised already which shows you've not searched before posting. This thread is therefore closed.

I'd reckon. Talk about the ultimate in laziness. There are a number of threads on the front page of the Nexus 4 Android Development forum which answer all your questions.

Seriously, buddy, search is your friend. People can't just go around compiling videos for you because you claim to be a visual learner and are unable to search.
wow thank you for the people who helped but come on guys this was a noob friendly question.....seriously.
