I installed the leak after getting pissed about how long it took to get ics and how terrible honeycomb was. The leak has been incredible and made my tab sooth as butter... However I am afraid I won't get the official update which hopefully will be patched to include the ring.
How can I flash back to stock 3.2.1? I have I have looked all over and haven't seen a clear cut solution
Thx
if u r on hc bootloader all things bein equal then try a nand restore - worked for me.
if it doesnt or u on ics bootloader then its an EUU/manual apx downgrade procedure.
i've since flashed flexreaper, acer ring works perfect and so i'm sticking with it till the furore dies down and acer have their rom stable

Hi guys,
I've a rooted Liberty Tab with Acer A500 HC 3.2.1 and a full nandroid backup to go back to PB stock ROM.
I would like to update to ICS, but I know that ICS requires a new bootloader, and as far as I understand, it's not possible to revert back to HC bootloader.
Is this right?
The first choice I have is to update my tablet with a modded A500 ICS rom, and I will loose (forever) my PB HC bootloader.
Otherwise I can go back to stock PB rom, accept PB 3.2.1 update and wait for PB ICS OTA (does it exists?)
Any other suggestion?
Is it stable to use ICS with HC bootloader? I didn't understand if it's ok or it's only a workaround but not stable.
Many thanks!
Hi,
you can use, as an example, the Flexreaper Rom with the HC Bootloader without any probs. The Rom has an autodetection for the bootloader and installs the right Kernel accordingly.
I did this from the beginning of the Flexreaper Rom until last R12.5.
Last week I decided to change the Bootloader to the ICS V3 patched. The same way I installed the V3 pathed ICS Bootloader, could be used also to flashe the HC bootloader back. But as mentioned, not really needed.
The Flexreaper Rom is excellent, give it a try.

Hay,
About 3 weeks ago my Slider informed me of a software update that i very quickly applied expecting it to be the 4.0.3 ICS update that the US version has...but to my horror i found that it was the generic Transformer TF101 update... not good, as it broke my keyboard!!! When looking in About my Tablet it said it was a Transformer TF101 running Android 4.0.3 Firmware Version 9.2.1.21 - no big problem there but it also said No Mobile Dock connected and the keyboard did not work!!!!
Quick call to Asus, and they informed me that there was no update to ICS for the UK Slider yet and that it should not have been able to download the update. They also told me that to fix it, i would have to send the Slider to them to be re-flashed / replaced as it is not possible to downgrade from ICS to HC - shows how much they know lol!
After rooting and installing CWM i decided to take the plunge and flash a custom ICS rom that claimed to work on the Slider -Revolver 4 RC3 with the compatibly files, but still no dock connected or working keyboard, had the same problem with ADHD so i thought i would try Revolver 3 (HC) but this also failed to fix my dock problem. I gave up and re-flashed back to stock HC and all is good appart from the Slider informing me of the OTA update.
Many people have been saying that the Transformer update would work on the Slider along with many of the custom ROMS such as Revolver and ADHD (or install the compatibility pack and use any), i have tried many ROMS now including the official Slider UK update from the Asus site, that again is just the Transformer one that the Slider downloaded OTA and non of them work with the dock / keyboard.
Any UK Slider owners out there running a custom ROM with working dock, if so which ROM you using??
Version 1.041.00 of the OTA ROM was flat busted on my A500.
I've updated to a v1.054.00 based ROM and have not had any rotation issues since. The ROM is called FlexReaper-Relix_rev5 and is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181 If you do not want a custom ROM then Civato has also placed a stock OTA of 1.054.00 (with Root) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633907
I am thinking that perhaps 1.054 is the fabled fix that Acer is putting on devices sent into them for "repair"?
It would be good to know if someone who has received one back from Acer repair can say what specific ROM version is installed when they got it back. Go to Settings -> About Tablet, then report back the Build number and similar info. That would probably help the devs out a bit.
Also, I have the same v7 bootloader as with 1.041, so all that has changed was a version update to the ROM. I also briefly tried Civato's OTA 1.054 ROM and it was not having any issue. I usually had the issue on 1.041 within a few minutes of booting and running just a couple apps.
Knock on wood, hopefully my tablet will remain sane.
Good luck!
I have a rooted Iconia a500 it is stock ics with leaked ics root.
then i installed ICS BOOTLOADER v8 and flashed this rom

Go here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 , download the EUU for 3.01. Put you tablet in APX mode (make sure your computer recognizes your tab as an APX device) and reflash. There are lots of posts that will tell you how to flash an EUU. Most important, make sure you have your CPUID. You will definately need it. Once you have reflashed stock 3.01, you can go to the market, update literlly about 4 or 5 times, and you will be back to stock 4.03 ICS, or lower if you choose to stop upgrading sooner.
Much easier to flash a custom ROM, especially since you already have the correct bootloader. Have youvtried re-flexx shellshock?
Thanks a lot for answering me and for the Re-flexx shellshock i don't even know what it is sry I am a newby in those stuff I will try what u said hope it works.
Hello XDA Users, I have a very basic question regarding my ACER A500 upgrade. So far, I have tried every single avenue to upgrade my tablet to ICS but nothing worked. I am not sure, is this because of current HC ROM with ICS unlocked bootloader, but every time I flash any ICS ROM, I am stuck at booting primary kernel message from (V8 unlocked ICS bootloader) or ACER boot logo. But if I flash HC full ROM (3.1/3.2), everything works just fine. Some may say this is a repeat post, but I didn't get any answers from my earlier question, so decided to rephrase the question in simple manner.
At one point, I had ICS ROM successfully running on tablet with V8 bootloader but one fine day it decided not to boot up at all. And I have to go back to basic using TDV4.
Now I am on HC Rooted ROM with Thor CWM based recovery and V8 bootloader. If you need any further details to get me on ICS, please let me know.
Thanks
