Knowing Acer, they have probably pulled all the updates for our tab from the server...you could check out blackthund3rs thread for it....I think it's stickies in the dev forum

[quote name="snoking" post=55142336]Given that Acer's updating is broken for the A500, does anyone have a link to the stock USA ICS release file and simple step by step instructions to update from 3.2.1? My brother gave me an A500 and did a factory reset before sending it to me, drats! I would like it to look/run like my A200 with ICS! Thanks Chris[/QUOTE]
OK, progress!!! :smileyhappy: :smileyhappy:
I downloaded the firmware here:
http://support.moulnisky.com/index.php?dir=Acer/A500/
You open the zip and install the update.zip file within the download on the external Fat32 SD card and boot that into recovery! Vol/Down - power on!
Android Verizon 4..0.3
Kernal 2.6.39.4+
Image verson Acer_AV041_A500RV06RC01_WW_CUS1
Build Number Acer_AV041_A500.1.041.00WW_CUS1
The A500 is now loading Chrome Browser and you can swipe apps away to kill them, Standard ICS stuff! Start screen is not the same as my A200.

Missing boot partion!

Does anyone know how to restore the boot partion? I think that this time I achieved to brick my phone. I tried to (read: FAILED) to downgrade the latest 2.3.5 and now no matter what I do, all I get is "update failed messages." I can't get into recovery (CWM or the standard) since when I boot my phone to the pink screen, nothing happens; no partion shows up anywhere. BLAH!
if you want i ill upload the image file to you??

It already is "semi-bricked", so it's a win-win situation whatever the result may be. It's just taking ages to download the needed rom file. blah x 2....

When you get the update, please save the /cache/dlpkgfile so we can pre-root it and make it work with CWM.

INSTANT ICS FOR YOUR TF101 WITHOUT RESTORING TO STOCK:
Choose a mirror. Choose a version (US/WW).
1: Download FULL image (US/WW-9.2.1.11-CWM-full-rooted.zip)
2: Download KWT update package for the same version from daoists thread

Don't care about Prerequisite-version not matching. It will work, as long as you choose US/WW correctly.
2.1: Remember to thank daoist for his work.
3: Copy both these files to your microSD card, boot into CWM recovery.
3.1: Nandroid backup. Always.
4: Do a factory reset/wipe data caches and all that.
5: Flash US/WW-9.2.1.11-CWM-full-rooted.zip.
6: Reboot.
7: Let system work itself out. You will now have full, stock rooted ICS, but USB/adb will not work.
8: Boot into CWM recovery.
9: Wipe cache just to make sure.
10: Flash kwt-cwm-9.2.1.11-US/WW. Reboot.
11: You now have working stock ICS with root. Congrats!
Remember to install OTA root-keeper in case new updates comes down the road.
11.1: Consider thanking me for providing terrabytes and terrabytes of direct download bandwidth for you ICS hungry freaks
Upload the dlpkg file for ICS instead of telling us about it.
Everyone is aware of the ICS update in Taiwan. Instead of telling us about it why don't you upload the file so the devs can crack it for everyone. Gnufabio is actively looking for and if you need help uploading then login to freenode irc on channel #asus-transformer. Posting useless threads telling about ICS doesnt get it customized but uploading it will.
Removed link to this thread after jerdog merged threads. THANKS jerdog
You should probably mention a huge "BEFORE UPDATING" in the thread's title
Just my two cents...
Since it isnt stickied I'm bumping it.
I'm gonna download the update and see if I can get it going because I'm in indonesia

I'll throw my hand into trying to pull the update off of a Transformer with a TW ROM NVFlashed onto it. Not much to do at work today.

You will be able to flash it in CWM once the dev's get a hold of it. You will not have to go back to stock unless you want the official update.

No this is not the kernel source, that is posted in another thread, I am working on a kernel with OC/UV now, I should have my device on Monday.
I posted up the system dump in its own thread, hopefully it gets a little more visibility that way. Anything else people may need from me? Like I said, I have the time to do whatever needs to get done.

2.Enter fast boot ...
3.Rsdlite & select the XML from Matts util...Reboots.
4.BP SETUP go settings for USB debug.
5.Root w/ Matts.
6.Say no to logins & syncs.
7.VooDoo protect & unroot.
8.Check for update......yes yes...stock recovery... reboot
9.VooDoo restore root.
10.login and DL RM.
11.RM with Photon Q recovery.
12.I keep ROM on extSD only... back home
Long right.
I would like to Rsd the newest XML http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php but I do not know how to root it from my Mac.

Twrp 3.4.0-0 sm-t825

Here's a functional TWRP with a revamped UI ported from the TAB S2.
I am not responsible for ANYTHING to do with this image. Use at your own risk! I can provide only limited help because I myself learned this in one week.
SEANDROID IS NOT ENFORCING? - No Problem - it doesn't mean anything! If you do know how to repack twrp in order to remove that message please show.
Thanks for the sources - @ashyx @Valera1978 and tab s2 twrp team.
I don't have a tab s3 non lte but you can try using it!
Download link:
2020 august twrp 3.4:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fnh0wvqe8qwvqu0/t825twrp_3.4.0-0.img?dl=0 for T825!!!!
thanks to bmwdroid for sharing the file!
To flash: flash this with ashyx's twrp or Valera's repack by selecting install image and then selecting recovery!
Good luck and please press the thanks button!
Everything works!
have you tried it on your tab?
Everything worked fine. All functions are still working. I can attach a screenshot a little later
Screenshot.
Later I'll post a version with modified icons, of course, if the author of the topic does not mind
Yup I don't mind! You wouldn't by any chance know how disable the text seandroid not enforcing? It annoys me! But without doing it when compiling directly from the tarp tree because it doesn't exist; I only followed a simple twrp porting guide!
@Alex20137 thanks for this, moved tab s3 from dead point. what can be benefit of this? is it opening door to some lineage breakthrough?

[/COLOR @Alex20137 thanks for this, moved tab s3 from dead point. what can be benefit of this? is it opening door to some lineage breakthrough?
@ivanox1972
I now support lineage 17 security updates, so if security was a fright from upgrading, never fear!
Unfortunately, the images that I used before are not suitable for this version of twrp. I can just lay them out, suddenly someone wants to redraw
View attachment images.zip
also installed this twrp. so far so good.
Hi @Alex20137! How did you do this?
I'll definitely try it rn on my Tab S3
Don't bother yourself - does NOT work on SM-t820 wifi - too bad.
Yesss. Don't bother yourself - does NOT work on SM-t820 wifi - too bad.
Not sure, if the installation attempt took place in the right way.
I only tried two times (install via twrp 3.2.1-1).
Maybe you have more success with a fresh system !?
Had to restore the recovery system with Odin ... I don't mind.
Still, it's nice that the two tablets are still alive and in use.
