I know that Stock Images were running trought here Long time Ago.
But I preffered to not try this method since I saw many people having trouble with that.
And I saw a topic where people giver the URL to everyone download the Official Rom. But it still unavailable.
Thinking in all of it, I was thinking to make it available for everyone

If you haven't started the update, you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2414424
In the output, the OTA URL will start with http://android.client.google.com

2.1 Leak to 2.1 Root

Hi. I am a dev who is fairly new to the Android platform. I recently acquired a droid eris running 2.1 leak v3. I am interested in upgrading to root. I was wondering if anyone had achieved root in any of the leaks? If not, is anyone working on it? If so I may be able to help.
Thanks in advance and I apologize if any of these questions had already been answered. I have searched all over this forum and other forums and could not find a recent answer to these questions.
Also, I hear the OTA is right around the corner and might be the exact same as the third leak. Should I just wait until that comes out to attempt to achieve root? I do not want to spend hours of my time working on this only to have the OTA come out the next day and have done this for nothing.

There are versions of 2.1 rooted, but there is no current way to go from the leaks TO root. There are rooted roms based on 2.1 though.

Root, Roms and OTA Updates

Now that the slide has Root and an update, I have a question that may have been asked/answered in previous threads, forgive me in advance (I did a search and could not get an answer)...
Once rooted, will the slide still get the Froyo update?
Also if the phone has to go back for exchange/warranty, is there a way to flash it back to "Stock" as we did with the Samsung BHII?
TIA!
There is a nandroid backup of the stock rom available in the development section of the forum to revert back for warranty, not sure if froyo will goto a rooted slide, but I'm sure the devs will have a 2.2 rom out soon

Wait... There was an update?
This is the one thing keeping me from rooting.
Just back up your stock android rom before rooting so you can restore it. When you get to clockworkmod for the first time create a backup.

½anyone know where to get the RUU of the slide rom, not mixed and modified by a dev or cook?
but the origional rom or lastest version of it.
the nandroid backup will get you back to stock(ish) and if you're rooted with an aftermarket rom, you WILL NOT receive any updates from tmobile.. A couple days after release of the update, we'll have a rooted version, i can bet my right nut on it(and yes i do still have my right nut lol)
Guys... I don't play forum police or anything but the questions go in the q/a stickied thread or in general. The moderater already moved several threads like this today. Oh and when we do get an update... it will posted here after the proper mods have been made. You'll only have to wait a couple days and I'm sure that will be faster than you having to wait in line for your ota to be beamed to your handset. So go ahead and root it.. trust me! You'll be glad you did. Oh and if you get an ota... don't install it! Contact me or one of the other forum members. Or better yet post your news and we'll tell you the steps so we all can enjoy it.

Agreed... Sorry about that - just thought General was appropriate at the time.

[Q] Software updates for Rooted EVO's?

Hey guys, I just searched through and found:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
*Still a new noob on the forums so I wasn't able to link the complete thread.
That thread for updating rooted phones. Is there a different method for EVO's or does this post apply for EVO's as well?
Just rooted my phone this past weekend (with Unrevoked3) and I'm quite new to the root ways. Currently not running any special ROM's just using launcherPRO instead of Sense UI.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
If you get it upload it here we can do nothing for rooted phones till soneone who got the update actually takes the time to upload it

Working like a charm... the phone is lightning quick.

[Q] Please...

I need my acer a500 back to day one stock and currently my screen has a caution sign with a little android dude...
I had a custom rom and i lost my backup so i cannot restore
I need to get back to Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and i cannot find it anywhere on the internet or on these forums. The cdn site doesnt work so idk what to do.
Im a noob at this going back to stock thing.
Anything would be greatly appreciated
Close this tread since no one will help.
Calm down guy.... help comes when someone has free time from the job/wife/house/car/etc...
Sounds like you need to download a copy of Acer_A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2
What rom are you currently on and what recovery do you have installed?
Since the CDN site are no longer active ( 3.0.1 are dead.... HC 3.1 are still alive )... and going by what you'd requested (1.104.02_COM_GEN1).... I assumed you are in the US region...
previously... people were trying your method in order to get OTA updates... but since we have the latest "FULL" packages.... what is stopping you from flashing/updating to the latest for US region ??
Full Package and Update thread by Vache:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
and the latest for US region is:
Acer_A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2 ( Honeycomb 3.1 .... no longer 3.0.1
link here: ( make sure to use Acer decrypter with the file !!! )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16326563&postcount=26
then follow by interim updates to:
Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2
make sure to wipe and factory reset before updating !!
They are all available at the above thread
*** You do NOT need to be rooted when using the full packages.... just make sure your card is formatted with FAT32 and place the file at the root directory.
UnicornKaz- I'm not understanding what you just said about method?
.10 is a ~47 meg file
Acer_A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2 is a 366 meg file
He needs .11. I will post a google documents link for the OP in a minute...

thanks guy... for some odd reason IE9 is giving me fits on google documents... but that's a whole new thread.
so perhaps that's why you thought some people were having issues getting the ota's? lol
Here's the decrypted update.zip

Why not flash the latest OTA and use the root tool from market to reinstall the stock recovery?
side note, i love how he only gave the community 4 hours then stormed off. Sense of entitlement anyone?

That's sorta what we told him (her?)... I think the problem is that the noobs aren't sure which rom/update is a full rom vs update. He should be able to figure it out now.
Yes Thank you to everyone for putting up with my annoyance and thank you all your help(the rush was my screen was black for awhile with no response lol), i just couldnt figure out everything i was reading. Just seemed like everything i was looking for wasnt really directly what i needed.
Mostly due to this is still a new process for alot of people (including me), but thats why xda rules the web!!
Sorry for the spam on the forums!

Question about 4.010.13 update(~15mb) and being rooted.

I just turned on my tab and it alerted me of an update. It says system update 4.010.13 and its 14.49 mb. Anyone know what this is? And I also ask because I'm rooted and wondering if I should accept the download. I know with my phone being rooted and running custom roms, I never receive updates. So I'm not sure what to do with this one since I'm rooted and if that has any effects on system updates. Any ideas what it is and if its okay to take the update.
With stock roms you still get updates. But don't update that way, it wont work if you have clockwork recovery. There is a link for the update in the general section of the iconia forum, sorry I don't have the link. So find the link and install it through cwm and you should be good. I have been running .13 for 2 months with no problems so its stable.

I looked through several pages and didn't see anything about an update. Are you talking about the general section here? Where I posted this question.
I also got this update but it fails to apply due to cwm being the recovery image. Where do the updates actually download to anyways?

Yeah I found it in this section 2 months ago. The title was actually was 4.010.13. I don't have time to find at this moment but I'll look for it. It might take a while to find since it was so long ago.

thanks! I don't get why I just received this update when the link you posted me was people talking about it back in July lol
I just saw this over at Android Central: http://www.androidcentral.com/acer-iconia-a500-getting-small-system-update-today
So they also are reporting it today. Why did other people receive it so early?
