So for Stock A500 users stuck at the Acer Logo, or maybe some other strange issue with the tablet not booting, you may want to try this method first before rolling up your sleeves and moving on to getting your UID, which involves the use of Linux for the most part.
Download these full ICS Update files for the A500 (501 owners can try this also, but you'll have a 500, but that might can be changed later)
These files are already "decrypted" and are named differently as to keep them separate. Download them all to a folder.
Now, select one of them, rename it to "update" (end result is a file called update.zip) copy it to SD card, boot tab and see if it installs. If it hangs on the install, delete it from SD card, and do the same with the next. Hopefully one of them might take. You may have to try all 4 of them before one works. It's hit and miss.

How long does it take to load, how long should I wait to try the next one?

Because it is some weeks ago I can't remember how long it took to load but it was not extreme. I think all was done in 1 or 2 hours. But during the process you get already some info that the tablet is working "normally"
Good luck with trying, my tablet is still working fine

First of course, is that the file must be renamed to just "update.zip" and if you are doing this from a Windows machine, you may not see the ".zip" part. Do not be worried about that and just rename to "update". I copied each file, in turn, to the MicroSD card BEFORE renaming the file. That way, you retain the original and don't end up with "update", "update(1)", update(2), etc.
Have your Iconia A500 fully charged and powered off. Disconnect the power cable. Install the MicroSD, loaded with the "update.zip" file (the gold contacts side of the card face the screen side on the A500) into the card slot in the top of the Iconia A500. Holding the left side of the Volume Switch down, press and hold the Power Button down. When the tablet powers up, release just the Power Button. When you see the writing appear in the top left corner of the screen showing that it is loading the update file, release the Volume Switch. You should shortly see an Android figure with a spinning ball of triangles (not sure of the correct geometric term) in its belly. If the Android changes to laying down, with a red triangular exclamation, that version did not work. You should see a light blue thin progress bar if it is loading.
---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
I tried the different files. The "41-124-01-update.zip" loaded, but the progress bar only got about 20% - 25% along the way before not progressing any further. I left it overnight, and in the morning, it was still the same. The ball of triangles is still spinning in the Android's belly, but no progress is happening. The first time this happened, after an hour, I manually powered down the tablet, and then powered it back up. I got the buzz and the ACER logo (constant brightness), but it went no further. It just hangs there. And yes, I tried the external Factory Data Reset, and no, it did not work either!
Any ideas on what might be stopping the progress bar, or how to get the update to completely load?
Has anyone had any luck installing an alternative bootloader and then installing a different image?
Is this a software or hardware issue?
NOTE: My A500 Iconia experienced the exact same issue regarding failure to boot that has been described by hundreds on various forums. I was hoping that I'd finally discovered a fix.
Hi do you mind upload these files again? They are no longer exist.....Thanks!

Well, they will run on a 501, but you won't get 3g or GPS.
www.acer.ru has the 501 ICS update files. You will need to match the update to your current Operating System Build. The reason, is that they run "patch" updates. So if you've been running a custom ROM, you will need to roll back to a factory 3.x.x and use the matching update file.

Not really, you will have to use Timmy Dean's Rollback Tool.
Basically it's an EUUS 3.2.1 ROM that will reset your partitions. The only advantage to running TD's tool, compared to a regular EUUS, is that TD's tool installs it "pre-rooted with a CWM recovery".
Either way, you are going to have to go back to 3.2.1. No way around it.
And... you will need your CPUID number to do it. I hope you had a custom recovery installed, as it should have this number. If not, you will need linux to get it. Neither tool will run without it.

I used these update.zip's to upgrade my 4.0.2 to 4.0.3. Great, but I can't get adb to recognize the A500. Is there a trick to this?
My A 500 has not been modified, but I too had no result, or at least no positive result. Do I also need to use this Timmy Dean's Rollback Tool? I also don't have my CPUID number. I do have a laptop loaded with Ubuntu 14.04, so can I use that to get it?

Download the following Timmy Deans 3.2.1 rollback tool and extract to your PC;

Run the PBxxx.exe and use administrators rights, Wait till it gives the pop up to put your tab in apx mode and do it and connect. Enter uid number.
Hope it works. Remember that acer no longer has ota servers, for a year now, so you will have to do a manual update.
Thanks for the information MD. I will try this and report back here my results.

Moscow Desire Thanks!
I have know Jellytime 4.3 on my tablet.Need a 10 days to make this. In the beginnig everything was difficult but now it seems so simple and easy.
My description for more clarity:
1. UBUNTU last version
2. In this version you have a GCC but not libusb-1.0-dev. The best option is synaptic package manager. Install this from UBUNTU software center.
Open the synaptic and search the all files with libusb -you will get the list with the required files . Just install the all!
3.Make or download apx.c. If you have 32 bit you can use code from this site (something about printif changing). Make the folder APX on Dekstop and put file apx.c there .
4. Open the terminal ( if you can not find the terminal(no experience with UBUNTU , just in search type terminal).
5. In the terminal type dir or ls,. You can see the all folders and then type
cd Desktop/APX. If you get something strange or you get no result try to type sudo su for "refresh"
6. type gcc apx.c -o apx -lusb-1.0
7. If you get message with errors this mean that your libusb 1.0 dev is not installed. If you see a new file apx near your old file apx.c then is OK
8.type ./apx .....(if you get the message acces denied or cannot open device just type sudo su for refresh)and your CPUID is there.
9. then you need SBK
10. Download V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm.zip and unzip this
11.Make APX mode on your tablet ( push reset button(with needle) then power(with finger ) ) everything is black(that's good) and you are ready.
12. open the V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm with V8.bat file, and follow instructions. Use your SBK, choose option 2 and go next(two times). When you get PASS on your tablet your tablet is ready.
13. Download the jellytime 4.3 with GAPPS to your microsd. from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376662 or HC 3.2 for ( in my case) A501 from this forum
no need to change name to update.zip .
14. The next step: Volume down +power (you are going to the recovery mode) and folow the instructions
Boot in recovery mode to flash theJellytime or HC3.2.
First, don't forget to execute a 'Wipe Data/Factory reset'
Flash the Jellytime
Flash the Gapps
Do a 'wipe cache partition'
Reboot
15. That's it!
16. Enjoy!

Hi! All. I have a Acer Iconia A500 wifi 32gb. Rooted with "Iconia Root". Installed custom rom. Wish to return to official stock rom & receive OTA. Unfortunately, when i root my tab, i accidentally deleted my stock rom image. i can't remember my build therefore am having difficulty finding the correct rom to revert. My set is from Singapore & therefore need a rom thats meant for Singapore. I managed to find some information about a fellow user of the iconia tab from Singapore. His Build number & android version is as follows:
Android Version : 3.0.1
Build Number : Acer_A500_1.016.04_COM.GEN1
My kernel version is 2.6.36.3.
Hope someone can direct me to the correct stock rom to install & enable OTA again.

Ok, now you are in the correct forum.
Now, next time, you want to go installing things, that you really shouldn't, take some safe measures before you make a mess of things.
Rule #1. Always have CWM or RA installed, and make a damn backup of your current system.
IF you were rooted, and had CWM or RA recovery installed, you will find your original CUID number in your Ext SD cards, clockwork or recovery folder.
Somehow, I think you didn't do this.
Ok, you will need this ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012
Read the thread, all the posts. Then run the tool EXACTLY like he says. Remember to remove the 0x from your UID number, and plug your tab in only at the point he says.
Remember, you have to get your current UID number by running a terminal app from your tab. Then copy the txt to your pc and open it.
After you get the unstable rom running, you should be able to install some stable Com Gen 1 roms from;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Remember to de-crypt the update.zip from the encrypted roms, and copy it to your Tab's Ext SD card.
Then with tab off. Hold both PWR and Vol+ and it should install.
Of course, this is theory, as in well over 200 rom installs, I have never got into the mess You, have gotten yourself into.
Mr. Moscow,
do you know what causes the mess for some folks that no UID is in the dmesg-output?
My dmesg.txt just has no line containing "androidboot.serialno".
All the other ways to get the UID are resulting in a 11 digit UID, which is not valid for either nvflash or Acer's EUU tool?
I was also so bright to delete my older Honeycomb based backups, so i am stuck gettting the original UID of my tablet.
Am I now bound to the "Acer_AV041_A500_0.009.00_WW_GEN1" forever just because i have no valid UID anymore?
I am applying custom roms, kernels, radios and bootloaders since the good old days of the G1, but this time i somehow was too impatient obviously

Yeah i did, problem was the invalid UID.
I finally managed to get a valid 16 digit UID this way:
Here is how i finally was able to get a valid 16 digit UID:
Install the "half root" for the leak like posted on Tegra Owners -> http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
Now run any terminal emulator and run dmesg to get the UID (dmesg>/mnt/external_sd/bla.txt
After rooting, the resulting text finally gave me a line containing "androidboot.serialno=" which has the expected 16 digits.
Before rooting it, i had no such line in dmesg.txt, and all other methods just returned the invalid 11 digit UID.
I think i am able now to downgrade to Stock, root and install a custom recovery again (will check later when back home from work)
Yeah, I have a 501, and fortunately it wasn't effected by the 500 leaked ICS.
Suppose that specific kernel just ignore my tab, and installs with 0 issues.
I tell you who to contact about your issue, and it's ATGadmin. You can pm him here, or at our site http://www.androidtabletgeeks.com
There he is KJY2010. Post in his ICS Tutorial thread. He's in NY and probably sleeping right now. But he knows a lot about getting a 500 ICS back to HC. I should know, I spent several hours with his "locked" tab on the sites live chat!

I'm just waiting for word when people start getting the ICS updates for the 501. Then I'll go back to stock, grab the updates (without booting), pull the updates via adb, then assemble a rooted ICS for the 501.

Get your UID:
a) install any terminal emulator from market, open it and type "dmesg>/mnt/external_sd/bla.txt" (w/o the quotes)
Open the resulting textfile in an editor on your PC and seach for "androidboot.serialno", this number is your UID
or
b) connect your tab to pc and find it via ADB -> adb devices
or
c) connect to your PC, check device manager for your Iconia, rightclick, choose properties -> details and look for "parent" in the dropdown field -> the last 16 digits is your UID

Evereything after the last "\"...
This cannot be the correct one, it should only contain numbers as far as i know, also the VID and PID should be different for the Iconia, like:
USB\VID_0502&PID_3325\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Also, it should be 16 digits.
Make sure your system is up and running, USB debugging is enabled and you have installed the Acer USB drivers before.
Then plug into your PC and you should have something like "ACER Composite ADB Interface" in your device manager.
Rightclick on this and chosse "Properties" and goto the "Details" tab. In the dropdownbox there choose "Parent" (something like that, i have a german OS).
I recommend method a) anyway, its fast and simple.

TF101, SL101 and TF101G on ICS firmwares anything else is untested.
Also should work on TF201 and TF300T on ICS ONLY!
For Windows, tested on windows 7 x64 bit, xp 32 bit and windows 7 32 bit.
Your data will be retained, unless you wipe in TWRP or something
UPDATE:
Added V0.41 which includes TWRP
Also V0.42 which is even newer TWRP!
apk not working sofar :[
If you have a TF201, or TF300T, this will work still, but you need to replace the included file 'recoveryblob' with a recoveryblob from a recovery from your device (download the .zip file for the recovery you want, and extract the 'blob' or 'recoveryblob' file from it and place in PERI folder, naming it recoveryblob and overwriting the otherone!)
Initiate project-PERI:
Since there's no one-clicks that I've stumbled across, and many people are asking if this-that etc.. works with .24, I've made an easy one-click (ish) that guides you through it and runs the necessary commands.

Works with or without MicroSD, just let the device totally reboot (E.G. don't let any commands run at the splash screen or in recovery.)
Fixed reboot confusion in V0.2 -Didn't fix in v0.2, Did fix in v0.3 though
If I did anything wrong, or offended any devs, killed someone's cat, or something else, Please let me know!
Post here with any questions or problems, I tested this and everything worked fine, but still consider it as final? release candidate 4.
Did it work?
This should do everything needed, and all is included in zip!
If you want to skip any steps that you've already done if you mess up, just unplug the USB and pretend that it isn't throwing 'device not found' errors, then get back to where you were.
If superuser isn't installing but you have recovery, try 'fix permissions' in recovery. -- Fixed (hopefully) in V0.2
Read the readme and run as administrator! Video-tut is here!

Tl;DR: This installs recovery and walks you through rooting your device from total stock. It includes everything you need, download is above.
It also functions as a unbrick for soft-bricks where you can access ADB or if your recovery is bootlooping and won't flash anything.
If you already have root: This tool will work on an already rooted tf to install Rouge's latest Touch Recovery (Reads from internal and external)
--if you're in a bootloop and can boot into android via-cold-boot, this will fix it! --
So if anyone who's already rooted doesn't mind doing further testing on it that would be great, the more reports the better!
If the superuser.zip isn't giving you root (For whatever reason ) try flashing the attached SuperSU I packed.
Video:
How to use PERI to root your Transformer!
**coming soon**
Unbricking/fix recovery bootloop:
I added an unbricking help/feature in V0.4 that'll help with bootloops or softbricks. PERI will help you through it.
**If you want to use the 'I'm already rooted just flash recovery' feature, you need to have given adb su access already!!!**
I bricked my tab on purpose using ROM manager to test the unbricker. Seems to work fine, let me know.
It might have bugs though and not work, in which case 'Don't taze me bro!'
I pretty much copy-pasted roach's bootloop fix.

If I helped, click thanks!

The .bat is open-source, download the .zip and take a look at the .bat with notepad++, if you like.
If you're having driver issues, give USBdeview a looksee.
What does it do, exactly ? You are downgrading and then rooting with it ?
No, it doesn't need to downgrade, it just runs wolf's exploit and directly flashes recovery on your tf. All user data is safe.
If it was a downgrade, the filesize would be alot bigger as I'd have to include a stock ROM.
tried it on my transformer with the latest .24 update but it could not flash the recovery at first time, got error ..... lemme check again
Edit: got error --- "cannot stat 'recoveryblob': No such file or directory" ---
I am sure that I am using the same transformer as yours as mine was imported from USA.
About Guide
Hi all,
I think ıt should be a more detailed guide.
"Just unzip it to a folder anywhere and run the .bat file!" it seems very easy.
I do not want to offend the developers and Thing O Doom
tigerfire25;
you can try that move the blob file internal memory of asus and try again. I an now at work so I can not try the method. I am just suggesting you, do not hope too much
I tried to make with simplicity in mind, so that really is all you need to do:
1. Make folder and extract contents of .zip into it.
2. Run the .bat file, which then holds your hand through the whole process.
3. ???
4. Profit.
EDIT5: Tigerfire, please try with a MicroSD inserted. This may fix it, thanks for reporting back.
Done
Done on my TF101G B90 with .24, it worked but:
1) when it tries to reboot the device (twice during the procedure) it doesn't work, i had to do it manually
2) the installation of the Superuser gives an error like it didn't succed but after reboot it was installed
Anyway thanks
Yeah, the reboot to recovery scripts don't work, it's actually just a simple 'adb reboot' command. I couldn't get 'adb reboot recovery' to work, sorry about that, that's why I detailed the manual instructions in there.
The superuser zip might be borked, but 'fix permissions' in CWM usually removes the error, but if it installed I figure whats it matter? XD
worked for me o/
I now have revolution HD Rom on my .24 TF101
thanks for your help ^^
Hi Thing O Doom,

You might be able to automate the process a little better by running the PnP Utility ('PnPutil.exe').
e.g.
Code:
pnputil -i -a %~dp0\adb-drivers\android_winusb.inf
-a - add package
-i - install package
You can skip the install command (-i) if you like (drivers will now be in the 'driver store' (-a) and installed when device is connected).

http://goo.im/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
It uses a newer 'update-binary' and cleaner/updated 'updater-script' & pkg.
-JR-
Thanks for the pointers, I'll be uploading V0.2 a bit later to fix some of those bugs and automate the process a bit better.
Added V0.2 and Changelog in OP.
Thanks jazzruby for pointers!
@ Thing of Doom
Quarkko,
1. You use the same recoveryblob (Tf101 and Tf101G are very similar, so 3rd method works on both.)
2. You don't need to do anything, as you won't get OTA updates anymore if you install CWM. You can manually flash rooted updates in CWM later if you want to update.
3. Following to the letter, almost 0. You'd have to unplug your tf DURING the flashing of the recoveryblob. (The dd if command)
4. You still can't use NvFlash, since you have a Tf101G, sorry it hasn't been cracked yet.
Clear guide- Use my PERI: one click root and recovery installer (in my sig), it walks you through it and runs the commands for you. Works on the tf101G

Thanks for the reply.
I tried your PERI method! But unfortunately I use XP for these jobs. Should I wait for the xp drivers. Thanks anyway.
You can still use PERI with xp, just not the Autoinstall of drivers portion of it. Hit no when it asks to install drivers, then when it gets to the section that asks if a device shows up, hit no and then it will redirect you to a manual install of the ADB drivers.
All it needs are ADB drivers, which are easy enough to install.
TF101/G ONLY! anything else is untested.
does it mean onnly the g version or only the tf101?
kind regards
gandalf
I'll clarify that in the op. It works with both the tf101 and the tf101G, the slider is untested.
Worked for me.

I have a TF101 serial number starting with 0 and US version. I also have to face with reboot problem twice.
Command Screen say that;
Reboot: Operation not permitted. (both Revovery and Flashing screens)
I used a laptop with operating windows 7 32 bit. After reboot problem, this time I try to exectue the batch file as an administrator but, the laptop can not see the device.
Finally, I reboot my device twice manually. Then, I waited for the final reboot. The final reboot completed. There is no Superuser apk. I get into the recovery menu and I installed by manually.

May i try once more?
Kind regards and sorry for my englisch
By the way :funny comments
Try V0.2, it fixes reboot problems mostly. If it can't see it, then drivers need to be re/installed. Is USB debugging enabled?
So did you manage to get Rouge recovery on there and root?
I’ve been helping a buddy get his A500 back to working order, so I thought I’d add the steps taken here which lead to successful replacement of boot loader and ability to flash roms again.
First off Blackthun3r is a genius and you cats should totally donate and thank him if this stuff helps.
The info is a bit spread out so I hope this helps consolidate things. We all owe big ups to jnktechstuff for starting this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699277 go thank him too.
One thing everyone is right about: You must secure your ID just in case, which is needed to properly reprogram the stock/crappy recovery boot. Two options I saw:
1) From a nandroid backup (inside the clockwork recovery folder or wherever your previous bootloader stored them) there is a uid.txt file.
2) When you run Afterota if it can’t find a uid it will generate a file “AcerIDs.txt”.
Afterota is great too but wouldn’t fix/attached to our A500 in APEX mode, but this feature alone is huge.
For AfterOTA, Thanks and Salute to Gersma:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675939
Next is just getting the thing to boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699277
Mentioned in “How to unbrick” , as stated they suggest you get 3 files. Here’s what we got :
1) Decrypter (mandatory)
2) 2 ICS roms (you only need one, but he suggests to get both just in case, or even an older Honeycomb if those fail you).
The one that worked for us was ICS 4.0.3: 7.014.01_41.203.01.
Extract the decrypter and use on the rom/zip you downloaded. It will make a separate rom/zip with the words ‘decrypted’ at the end. EXTRACT THIS FILE!
Inside the newly extracted zip file should be 3 files. If you don’t have it or your zip program says it’s corrupted then you don’t need to decrypt it, use the non-encrypted version of the rom pack you just downloaded (i.e. it wasn’t encrypted)!
3 files will look like:
1) Update.zip
2) AMSS.zip
3) Acer_A500_7.014.01_041.203.01_COM_GEN1.txt (or whatever rom you had downloaded)
These 3 files need to be on the root of your external SD micro card (either put it into a reader for pc access or if your system is functional copy it over via USB cable while mounted in the A500). The basic bootloader does nothing but check for an update.zip and apply it. However, it cannot replace itself (saw with a CWM or TWRP) and thus what I think is the ‘rub’ with this device.
After the update.zip applies, boot the system normally. You should have a locked OTA version of ICS with USB Debugging enabled, if not, hit Options, Developer and turn on USB Debugging. If it doesn’t boot, try another rom/decrypt combo. If it boots moved these three files into a sub folder on your SD Card and save for next time you brick it
Next, get the right driver for Windows from Acer site (this is important because it has the ICS USB and the APEX/boot USB driver needed):
http://www.acer.be/ac/nl/BE/content/drivers
You now need to unlock, add SU and Super User. Hit the following link and get Blackthund3r’s Root app (ICS7.1.x for Windows) top of page:
http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
When you hit some of this download links be sure to check for things like the skip ad button top right corner, else you’ll download the wrong thing:
Extract and run “ICS Root 2.exe”
1) DO NOT mess with the bundles tabs right now, but ensure all checks minus bottom two are selected and ‘Do it!’
2) You should see that it does confirm for you that it is connected and USB Debugging turned on.
You should now have the device setup to run a proper APEX adjustment, which lets you replace the bootloader and then apply all the little zips and roms your heart desires. Blackthund3r has the last tools we need:
Get APXFlash: http://a500bootloaderflash.tk/#download-links (again watch out for the adfly and click skip add to get to your zips).
APXFlash has all the bundles from proper Blackthund3r repository, the FAQ below may have suggested certain types but that info is kinda old SO just grab a bundle 15, 16 or whatever you are looking for (16 is a great team wiz recovery version combo Skrilax has done, we used that one).
1) Go to Bundle Market and follow the wizard:
2) After downloading the bundle of choice you’ll now be prompted to put in your SBK number from that Acer ID or uid txt file.
3) You should then back up your dump file as it is recommended in the process.
4) Hit blue arrow ‘next’ to see your flash options below, we used the Automatic method, smooth as butter.
5) Follow the prompts for APX mode and click blue once the device is blacked out and the mode has changed on status. This is where that official Acer driver comes in handy.
6) Complete the process as instructed and you’ll be good to go!
Last tool used is:
A500 Manager: http://a500bootloaderflash.tk/#download-links (again watch out for the adfly and click skip add to get to your zips).
This app rocks to help you get into recovery mode (or test your new bootloader) until you get a rom on there that allows you to do it from the power off button or notification tray.
Most of these links and info are at the bottom of Blackthund3r’s FAQ page, which were also super helpful:
http://a500bootloaderflash.tk/
Again this helped my friend and he was thinking several of you could benefit. Even when typing this up I figured some better/quicker ways to maybe get some of the data but this is the thorough steps we took and I hope it helps you! I also had screen caps so once I figure out how to add those, if it'll help or someone needs it will look into that ;p
Hey guys, I have good news for you all. I sat down these days and tried all kinds of exploits and one, normally for the Asus Transformer Prime really works!
Debugfs automated root from sparkym3 provided me full root access to my device. Its simple to use and does all stuff automatic
So it enables Users of the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet to finally root their device, even if you had it updated to ICS. As you all know, this was not possible before, but after I ran through almost all exploits running anywhere for ICS, I found this one working like a charm.
Have fun!
WARNING!
If you dont know the slightest bit of Windows or Linux shell and never did more than USE the device, be warned... If you kill it, its dead!

I confirm it works perfectly. ICS TPT _A400_03_0070_0132_US :good:
God, this is so wonderful. CWM works, Koshu's CM10 JB Firmware, too. I LOVE THE DEVICE AGAIN!
Great news! Who might have thought that a working exploit is already out there?
This is wonderful news, a friend of mine recently lost root after he had to send his TPT in for repair and got a new board already updated to ICS.
FANTASTIC - worked on UK running OTA 3.5
Booyah! Thanks Emuandco for your diligence!
Thank you. Had lost hope of root for ICS. My TPT may finally be the tablet I paid for.
22 hours and 5 badly needed factory resets were worth it ^^
Thanks a lot :good: :good: :good:
I just rooted my ThinkPad (WE version). Works like a charm.

after some trouble installing the adb drivers it worked fine on my WE tablet..finally, awesome, thanks
Amazing how much of a difference having root on this tablet makes.:good:
Stylus and Pressure Sensitivity
Been waiting a long time for this. I had one question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I use my TPT for sketching, allot, it's why I bought the tablet. I was wondering, if I root and then upgrade to Jelly Bean, will I lose stylus and pressure sensitivity?
Can someone post the steps to get this working starting from a clean OTA 4.0.3 rom? I just started messing with the TPT. What boot options are there? I see the hold-down-rotate-and-power boot which looks like what is needed for nvflash, but I can't seem to get any other bootloaders booting here. The debugfs script seems to want to talk to a recovery boot, yes? How do I boot into recovery mode?
Sorry for the TPT newbie questions. Is there a wiki someplace with all the boot modes and other info?
First, load this one: LINK
Its the Driver needed for the TPT to communicate with the PC over ADB protocol.
Go to your TPT Settings below inside Developer Options and check USB Debugging. Attach to your PC and hand the new unknown Device in Device manager the loaded ADB Driver. Then download and unzip everything from the Exploit into a directory; then run RootDebugfs.bat from that directory. This should do it for the rooting of the Stock Firmware. You can verify it by getting "Root Checker" from Play Store. If its green, next load this one: LINK and this one LINK. Its the ClockWorkMod aka modded Recovery Mode making it possible to flash unsigned Updates and making nice Full Backups and the JB Firmware itself.
Install this way from a windows console bein inside the folder where the adb.exe from the exploit is, Step one is making a backup of your previous Recovery Mode for future reverting if you want to do so. Step two is the actual install. You need to copy the loaded recovery.img from the CWM thread to the SD in your TPT, same goes for the JB ZIP File and maybe the 3G Patch for the 3G Card you might have.
BE SURE ALL FILES ARE COPIED ON THE SD AND ITS INSIDE THE TPT AGAIN!
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/external_sd/orig_recovery.img
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.backup
dd if=/mnt/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
exit
exit
This should be enough. Now reboot and while the Lenovo mini Logo shows up, push Vol UP rapidly. This should boot up CWM6, our modded recover Mode. Here Vol UP is upwards, Vol DOWN is downwards and ON/OFF is Enter. First thing, DO A FULL BACKUP TO EXTERNAL SD in "backup and restore", "backup" !!! Then let it do a "wipe data/factory reset", then select "install zip from sdcard" and in there "choose zip from external sdcard". Choose the CM10 JB ZIP first, then the 3G Patch for your Card.
Reboot and youre done.

I have already tried that doesn't work. when in cmd i write adb devices it shows the device is connected
i have put it to transfer files and MTP settings with unknown sources and debugging on ..when i run the .bat file
after the *demon started successfully* it suddenly closes after which nothing happens..what do you think is wrong?
Open a CMD prompt and run the bat file from there. then show us the output of the script please.
AAND be sure that theres not any adb.exe coming from the system path variable, like in system32 or syswow64. kill these
My husbands Acer a500 screen froze when he was playing Zimga a poker game when this happened.
He believes he had ICS but he is not sure of anything speciffic.
He doesn't have any type of backup.
He never had it connected to the computer.
We tried the factory reset.
We tried the hard reset.
We cleaned the cache & whatnot...
Nothing helps.
I've tried to use the GUIDE: Recovering Recovery/Obtaining SKB
Of course we only option we have, because nothing was ever back up, connected to a computer. I downloaded unbumtu 12.04 and installed it onto my laptop.
The requirements:
-ubuntu 12.04
-micro USB cable
-paper clip ....
I also made sure I installed gcc, lsusb, libusb-1.0-dev, & libusb-1.0.x
I get it to show on the desktop ...
I type in: sudo su
Then: gcc apx.c -o apx -lusb-1.0
I end up with an errors.
If I remember correctly it says that line 4 and line 5 of EPPE code was in errors.
The another time it states...
Then it stats su: invalid option -- 'o'
I am by all no means a computer code writer, and hope someone will help me solve this issue.
I just can't afford sending the tablet back to Acer to be fixed.
I even tried flashing the information on the micro SD card, but I believe since his tablet wasn't connected ever to a computer things aren't running as smoothly as I would like.
I've downloaded nvFlash, blackthud3r, and many Roms.
I.ve even tried to flash a few with no luck. Mister Android has fallen and can't get up with the RED triangle and all.
I can get the tablet in Apx mode.
Also I can get the screen with the Fastboot...
I've tried all the tricks with the volume up and power button and toggle switch, AND/OR the volume down button and toggle.
But without the UIP or CPUID those items aren't doing me any good.
The tablet was only updated the old fashioned way. No customized anything.
Hubby mainly used it to get email and play pocker over the internet with it.
Not sure what other information you need, but I hope someone could get me out of this MISERY!
Been messing with it for over a week trying to read and get as much information about others having simular situations.
Thank you in advance & Hope to hear from you SOON!
We've even tried doing things in different computers...:crying:

Well, seeing it a stock tab, not a lot of options.
I would try this, here is a link where I gathered 4 500 ICS updates. Note that I named them with build numbers to keep things in order.
Rename one of the files to only "update.zip" (remove the build number in other words).
With the tab off, hold VOL+ and PWR until you see the update start to install, then release both.
Now, if one of them doesn't complete, then try the other. Hopefully one of them completes the install and boots the tablet.

There was a couple of them that would install about 25% but then android would keel over and the red triangle of death took over.
I would appreciate if you had any other suggestions, or if anyone else did.
There has to something I can do?!?
Well, without having the UID number, I think NVFlash is out of the question. Usually we get these quite simply when the tab is operating.
There is a Linux solution, to get UID, but I'm not a linux guy. There's a thread about UID, I think in the dev section. In there are steps to get it through Linux I believe.
With the UID, I think we can run TimmyDeans rollback tool. But as far as I know, you have to have the UID number.
