[Q] Reflash stock 3.1

Hello!
I have rooted my Asus Eee Pad, and innstalled ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 Modded for Internal media and flashed the rom Prime! v1.4.
My question is:
Is it possible to flash it back to stock rom with root, so i can get official updates from Asus? Where can i download the rom and do i have to uninstall ClockworkMod 3.1.0?

You can flash stock room with root but you will not be able to install ota. You would have to go stock without root for it to update via ota

[Q] Accidentally flashed A501 rom on A500. *solved*

Hey,
Coming from 3.2.1, I flashed the this 4.0.3 rom: Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1
Worked fine, but I wanted to be able to install the German OTA update. So I thought I could do that by flashing a 3.2 stock rom and then receive 4.0.3 over the air.
But then I accidentally flashed this A501 rom: "Acer_A501_4.017.03_EMEA_CUS7" from here
I tried flashing the 4.0.3. update I previously had installed, but it doesn't work. Installations seems to finish, but after a reboot it is still 3.2 and my model ist shown as A501.
Is there anything I can do?
EDIT:
Forget it, after the 4th try it just worked. Sorry, can someone delete this post?

Any advice would be helpful.
You on stock or custom recovery? You'll need to post a little more infos when asking for help

A501: Returning from custom ics to stock

Hi,
I use an A501 Iconia Tab and flashed a custom ics by tegraowners. Now I'd like to go back to the latest stock firmware. However, I don't know how to do that.
Is there a program like ODIN for Samsung with which I can simply flash the latest stock firmware?
Every help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Anyone?
There is a complete ota ics rom in dev forum. Complete stock. Flash able zip.

First time Acer Iconia user need help with upgrading

Hi Folks,
I am more into mobile flashing however my dad came with his acer iconia stuck on 3.2.1 and asked me to do an update. Having gone through some of the stickies flashing this tablet somehow seemed a lot more complicated than my s2. However tried going into stock recovery with a stock full rom to upgrade to ics however to my pleasant surprise it came up with CWM v5.0.2.3(thor2002ro rev1.5).
Can someone please advise that can i now simply download a JB custom rom and flash it through this cwm or it requires an updated cwm/thor recovery. Also read somewhere about different bootloaders, pls shed some light on that as well
Thanks
To install an ICS or JB rom you NEED skrilax_cz unlocked bootloader
