With cwm recovery it's not going to work.

I have cwm,so do I have to wait for some one to make a flashable zip

Flash this in CWM to go back to stock recovery

Rather wait for a zip that can be flashed by cwm

No, I have the official upgrade from Asus (not a cwm flashable zip) but on my current stock ics rom I have cwm and root installed and my question is if I install this upgrade will it take away cwm and root??

I have the same problem. I installed the first ics upgrade, then root and nothing else (so stock rom and stock recovery) but it fail with the upgrade....

I think I've tried all.... cwm recovery, try to install the upgrade via cwm but it fails...
back to stock recovery, nothing...
maybe is the root?

Got it done follow the link about 4 posts up and got it booted into cmw and flashed there

I've already tried, installing recovery via apk from gnufabio, then recovery (the roach one) and that .zip... but it fails...
Someone can help me with the correct procedure please?

I also have the issue that myzine.apk is missing during the update in cwm although i'm sure it is there. Any ideas how to solve?

OTA update after unlocked bootloader

My question is simple. Can we recieve OTA update after unlocked bootloader and rooted Nexus 7 device ??

As long as you don't install a custom recovery, then yes. You'll lose root though unless you use OTA RootKeeper.

lol how do you not know if you put a custom recovery on your device? if you rooted it, you would have the option to put custom recovery, especially now on all these one-click-toolkits

IS the one-click toolkit adding a custom recovery to your device?
If so then mine has and no 4.1.2 for me, GREAT

You can do the OTA Update if you use an app called OTA Root Keeper (or something like that) to keep root when you update.

How to return A500 back to stock?

I am not a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing a custom ROM on Android devices but I am having a hard time returning back to stock on my a500 with a hc boot loader. The reason I want to return back to stock is so I can sell the tablet
If anyone has a step by step guide or a link on how to do his, it would be greatly appreciated

this really should be in Q and A but if you're on the honeycomb bootloader just flash the 3.01 buggy.zip and you'll get an OTA updating you to ICS and ics bootloader...make sure to do all the wipes before

I just installed the Acer Recovery app and I am on a 3.0.1 hc boot loader...Where would I go to download the buggy.zip file or could I flash a 3.2.1 stock ROM and update via OTA?

Latest bootloader?

Since I'm OCD and need everything up to date... What's the latest bootloader for our device? I'm out the Skilrex (spelling?) ICS bootloader currently.

You are correct and Version 8 is the most recent. There is a sticky for it in the developer section if you need.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk HD

I'll look for it.
Will I even notice any difference with a bootloader upgrade?

Yep, the ability to install JB... Dual boot I believe and the ability to flash bootloaders using CWM instead of your PC...

Ive noticed there are multiple boot loaders for the A500 verses the A100..I unlocked the bootloader and put on a cutom recovery CWM and havent messed with it since.. is that possible with this device or does each rom need a specific bootloader? Or will this V8 be the only time I mess with the bootloader?

I'm already on CM 10.1 and v8 of the bootloader so no update needed I guess.

All ICS and JB ROMs will work with V8. Honeycomb however will not. So to answer your question, yes after install V8 you shouldn't ever have to mess with it again.

Ok, I'm rooted.. now I want to put on a recovery next? and then the custom bootloader? Or is V8 the recovery as well?

V8 is the custom bootloader. If you go by the sticky in the developer section for installing V8 you will install a recovery as part of the process. You are given the option of which to install, they are TWRP, Thors or pubA50 recovery.
