Hi. i am looking to upgrade my tablet to newer version of Android. It has 4.0 now. OTA upgrades there are none available. Is there a guide to follow on how to install a newer ROM in the tablet, please?
This is a really old device and the Dec community has for the most part moved on. You will most likely find no updates in the future.

Just wait. It will show up eventually. In the mean time, don't worry about. Many users are reporting problems with ICS, while many others report it works fine. Maybe by the time you see the update, more fixes will be in place in the firmware.
The problem is only a small % provide details as to their TF-101 version and how they installed, so most of the threads commenting on non-functionality are more rants than threads that can help draw an assessment as to why some ICS updates work and some do not.
The ICS update has thus far worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23625633&postcount=124 on my B70 TF101 with the IML74K.us_epad-9.2.1.17-20120312 update (pushed as a firmware update , where my TF-101 was purchased in the USA, but it is being used in Germany).
Download the official ICS from the asus website and put it on your sdcard then reboot you sould get a notification that it has been downloaded tap that and hit install and it should work
Downloaded ICS from asus website, put it on MICRO SD, restarted - no prompt. So I unpackerd the rar from the website and repeat - no prompt aswell
Most likely bc you have a custom recovery since you flashed Revolver. Go the Epic Noob Guide by Luna_666 and there is a link to the Unlockr where your can get the stock recovery.
Edit::I found it and linked them both for you.
Woodrube you were right - thanks

Simply upgrading your tablet is not anywhere near as easy as you think it is. You need to flash a custom ROM, changing your tablets firmware. Currently, we do have a couple of ROMs available but each of them has something not working correctly. Also, please note that there are two elocity tablets. One is the A7, and one is the A7+. If you try to flash a ROM intended for the A7 onto the A7+, you will brick your tablet, rendering it completely useless. In other words, i would reccomend reading around these forums and searching for details about ROMs. If you still want Homeycomb after reading up on the facts, then there is a post here by Dexter that will give you a verry buggy version of Honeycomb. Jam4 over at Tablet Roms is actually working on stabilizing a HC ROM right now for the A7+, andd if you want to wait a little you could get that ROM.
I was having some issues with my browser and email client and suspected it was due to not running a stock rom. Initially when ICS came out I was a little impatient, didn't wait for the OTA update and installed one of the "released" images.
Yesterday i spent most of the day trying different image. Initially I hoped to install an older version, like honey comb and the to OTA back to a stock ICS rom.
It seems that once your bootloader has been converted to ICS there is now way of going back to Honeycomb. I tried some things suggested on xda developer forum, but none produced the results.
I then installed what I believe is the current stock rom for an A500 giving me the following:
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 2.6.39.4+
Image version: Acer_AV041_A500_RV03RC01_WW_GEN1
Build number: Acer_AV041_A500_1.0.31.00_WW_GEN1
What I would like to confirm is that this is correct and that this version is the latest available from Acer.
I am not really interested in any of the custom images and don't need it rooted. So a stock standard Acer ROM should do me just fine.

Look in the dev section , the latest is 1.054.00_ww_gen1. It is in the sticky thread.
This thread describes in detail what I did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961301 but now my tablet is bricked. I am still hoping for some way of recovering it though.

This is what happens when you have multiple threads going. Nobody knows what the heck is going on.
Perhaps you think it increases your odds of getting your issue fixed, but now, it only compounds things.
If one of the issues is solved, then you need to edit your title thread to state so. This can be done by selecting Edit, Go Advanced.

The reason I started two threads was to answer different question. In this thread I was looking for the latest official released version of ICS available. The other thread describes my journey of trying different ROMs. I was hoping to downgrade to 3.1/3.2 and then to OTA to ICS. Well that is covered in the other thread.
Thanks for all your help. I got my answer on the latest version.
Hi there helpful bunch out there its me with maybe and somehow a boring question for most of you but for me much guidance is needed. Here is what I have and then what I would like to accomplish.
I bought originally a packerd bell liberty tab g100 with stock android 3.something installed. As soon as Acer came with the ICS upgrade for the iconia a500, which is the same tab as you all ofc know, I installed that update with a very simple guide. Now year(s) later, and yes this brick isn't the best around but can't afford anything else so first would like a fresh install and second a upgrade while at it.
Now, I looked much on XDA and found a lot of text that made my head hurt and which I bravely tried to follow that guide but somehow it didn't work.
So now I have android 4.0.1 rooted and I would like to go to android 5 if that's even possible ofc.
Hope you smart people can help me to overcome this hurdle. Tnx
Hi,
I couldn't put this on the ROMs forum so I put it here instead. I have been looking endlessly for weeks for a custom rom for the sm-t357t (t-mobile) (RR, Lineage, etc.) with no avail. It is really annoying bc the standard tab a gets nougat and this one is stuck on lollipop. I would build one myself, except I have low end hardware and am a noob when it comes to building ROMs. I am rooted with twrp and would be grateful for any guidance or ROMs.
Thanks
I too would like an update for this particular T-mobile tablet. I need 6.0 or better for Google Family Link.
Same here- Looking for a Galaxy Tab A (SM-T357T) ROM. Android 6 or preferably 7.
bump
With no official release of MM/N, I highly doubt a custom rom.
I have this tablet too. I know the sm-t355 is basicly the same tablet and I believe it got updated. Why can we not get this flashed our device. Im not sure.
