So I'm selling my tablet because I don't use it as much now days.
Just wanted to know how I get rid of custom roms etc. I was on honey villain and now would just like to know how to get it back to stock.
Thanks very much

If you still have CWM installed flash this ROM:
Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2
Found here:

It will put the tab back to unrooted 3.2 for your region.
HC 3.2 P7310 P7310XAR P7310UEKJ5
Here is a stock 3.2 ROM for P7310 (WiFi) that I built from a system.img and boot.img from P7310XXKJ4(thanks nirogu325!). This is good for folks that like stock and can't flash with ODIN and for ROM bases\components etc.
CWM Recovery flashable (system and stock kernel included)
Install wipe caches, dalvik cache, and replaces the system partition. It will not touch /data unless you do so in CWM (see install below).
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Rooted + busybox
Removed the plethora of annoying widgets from the home screens that came from the factory.
Removed some DOA 0 byte APKs (AndroidTabletGNA_v1.apk, BoxAndroidApp.apk, WeatherBugTablet.apk, and SamsungHelpCenter_P7310_v001.apk)
Works great with my v2 kernel for HC 3.2 If you had my kernel already, you need to reflash it after flashing this zip since it contains the stock kernel.
Note: This ROM is deodexed. It will boot slow the first time and apps will load slower the first time you use them. It will then get faster, so give it a chance.
MD5 36bf2f8659b6f8087bdbf31ba370fe87
StockHC32_P7310XARP7310UEKJ5.zip
Backup:
Backup your existing ROM with CWM first.
Install Fresh:
Wipe data\factory reset from CWM recovery and flash the zip. When it boots, it will start the setup wizard like you just bought it.
Upgrade:
If you have stock 3.2 KJ4, you may be able to get way with just a flash without wiping data. It seems to be working OK for me. If you have any issues, I recommend installing fresh. This worked great for me as well.
As-is...I will provide no support for this stock ROM.
Thanks a lot! Gonna flash this tomorrow (almost 12am here lol). Will let you know how your kernel goes on my tab this time (crossing fingers).

Overcome CWM Recovery - Nandroid Backup procedure: Go to the CWM Recovery > Nandroid menu > Backup or Restore. This ROM is already rooted if that was your last question.
Curious little typo Samsung made in the MTP Application, when you connect it says "MTP initialisation" instead of initialization. This is also present on the previous KJ4.

Lol yeah. It was with a "z" in KHA. So far this firmware's quicker than KHA. Got it OC'ed (with your kernel) up to 1.4 and UV'ed -75 only the higher freqs. All is well.

This firmware was leaked by samfirmware.com (soon to be sammobile.com). It is a stock ROM as the title says, but it is a leak (as in let's say a beta firmware), a stable one as I've had it installed since the 3rd of this month. If you'd rather wait for an OTA then you're welcome, it's all your choice. Be sure to follow instructions and you'll be fine with no bootloops. Don't be afraid to ask if help is needed.
So..XAR = EU and KHA=US I assume?
I think I read on overcome thread, saying there is no hardware difference between regions...just localized apps....which means ROMs are interchangeable?
Thanks for your time, guys!
Hey Motley!
Will there also be a 3G version of this rom? I'd like to install a stock android 3.2 rom to my 7300 but I don't find a version that is flashable with CWM recovery.

US region is XAB me thinks. Oh and it doesn't matter which region you choose since you can choose your preferred language at the startup wizard.

I posted a little ODIN guide in my latest post at the 7300 KJ5 thread.

Sorry, this is just a stock Wifi-only ROM that is prepped for CWM flashing. nirogu325 pointed you in the right direction for the equivalent stock ROM for the 7300 (3G), but you have to use ODIN to flash.
The 3G folks really need someone to do some CWM conversions for the stock 7300 ROMs so you don't have to use ODIN all the time. ODIN is great for low level recovery when all else fails, but it really sucks for day to day use as well as for avid ROM flashers since you have to re-root and re-install recovery etc. If you do go through all these things, at least make sure you do a CWM backup so you have a quick way to flash back to stock next time.
When you say stock do you mean no TouchWiz or stock as in just a rooted/deodexed version of the standard Samsung ROM? I'm looking for a plain Honeycomb 3.2 ROM. I'm downloading this anyway but if someone responds before it'll save me a bit of time Thanks!

There are no 8.9 ROMs that lack TouchWiz yet. If you want lag out, change launchers. I suggest ADWLauncher EX due to its new hardware acceleration functions in tablets.
Yeah I've been using ADW and its great. It's just a few little things with TouchWiz that I don't like... I want a stock (black) launcher bar on the bottom and black system menu & browser.

NOTE: I only have the 7310 (Wi-Fi) unit so this is not tested for the 7300 KJ5.
I can help you out with the bar and toggle menu, but not the browser and Settings, I'm afraid. Here's a CWM flashable I made with images from the old Overcome 1.2 ROM and a revert just in case.

3.2 ROM issue with IMAP email client
Hey all,
I flashed this ROM and it works great with one exception. I use IMAP email which was working fine in 3.1 and works fine now with a 3rd party email client but with the mail app in this ROM all IMAP folders are empty. Sending emails through smtp okay but syncing IMAP results in only retrieving folders but all empty.
Any help or alternative is welcome, I don't want to go back but my only option is now POP or 3rd party IMAP app (which I don't like - they are all for lower phone resolution).
Thanks
Hello guys. I'm having some issues with going back to stock. I had to Downgrade my phone and then install S-Off with the Easy_Radio_Tool v2_2. I then flashed Android Revolution ROM successfully. Later this evening I wanted to go back to stock so I recovered to the Stock 2.2. Now when I try to update, it downloads the 2.3 update and goes to installing. My phone reboots and just shows the ORANGE-BLUE screen nonstop. I've been waiting for some time and it just stays the same. What should I do?

Anyways this thread should help you to getting back to stock.

I've done the same. I've had enough jerking around and just flashed Android Revolution again. Then I flashed SuperRosie and wow...no more words. Way better than Stock.

well of course. Custom roms are tweaked to give users the best experience and i personally think that going to stock for nothing would be a waste of time + waste of your device capabilities.
Are there any links to a pure stock ROM available for our GNex10? Id like the option to go back to the basics if need be.... never made a nandroid before I flashed AOKP.

Cheers for the reply
Yeah i am completely at stock
Oh there are various methods to do that, by using titanium or by cwm recovery both require root.
Check out this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931337
But that thread is old now you can flash complete google apps package /gapps from cwm recovery.. (gapps package can be downloaded according to your os)
If u need any help ping me.

More important question:
Are you sure you want to remain on stock?
If you want to upgrade your system with Google Apps, why not do the whole remake from ground up. It will be the same difficulty level as flashing Google Apps.
I was on stock for a year or two and It's no problem once you ROOT and flash Google Apps (I did everything myself), or just use MoDaCo's prebake with everything included.
But this is very very old stuff.
I have currently installed VegaBean Beta 6 and it's miles ahead of stock (don't forget to read installation instructions and partition your SD card correctly).
The only problem I have with this ROM is that it's eating my battery, but stock was also eating it.
You can also try the newest CM10.1 based ROM.
And if that just doesn't work for you, you can always flash stock firmware back (but I highly doubt you will ever do that once you go the custom ROMs way... stock rom... ewww ).
