Hello Vache and many thanks for your good works.

I have just 2 questions need answer before I send my Acer for repair service.

1- My Acer is actually operating under Thor 14.2 Android 3.2.1 and the Kernel is Thor Kernel 3.9r3. Can I flash back to Acer stock 3.1 or 3.2?

2- If yes, which of your Rom list is applicable to European version (if we could have against each Rom its region belong, that will help) if not too much asking.

Many thanks again,
[Acer Iconia A500] Edenprime:
great thread, thank You very much for your effort Vache,really nice there is only one version of A501
[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
i have downloaded" Acer_A501_0.000.00_4.037.01_EMEA_TMPL_1316069683762_98ed1d97". successfully extracted the file and copied the update.zip onto my microsd.

inserted to my A501, power up with vol- key pressed, it did not update, but went into CWM :(

currently using "Signed-IceComb_22112011_VillianROMBase_A500". would like to flash back to official ROM. any advise on how to flash it would be appreciated.

thank you,
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
Sorry see you have a A501 not sure if it will work. install acer recovery installer from the market and use it toinstall the stock recovery. Then reboot and hold power and volume down buttons cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
i used the CWM to install the update.zip

now, CWM is gone and no longer rooted. looks like this method work for me :)
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
Cool glad it worked :D did not realize you could use CWM for stock roms :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
did not either, believe the old version of CWM allows u to select update.zip, it's taken away in the new version.
[Acer Iconia A500] Edenprime:
When I downloaded Acer_A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1.zip I couldn't find update.zip in the archive, so what I need to D/L to change from 3.0.1 to 3.2? A501 bought in US.
[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
you have to run the decrypter to decrypt the file, then you unzip the decrypted file.
[Acer Iconia A500] Edenprime:
After decrypting the Acer_A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1.zip I cannot unzip it anymore via 7zip or windows unzip, as there are no files and I recieve an error
[Acer Iconia A500] aranna:
hi,

May be a stupid question, i have a A500 iconia tab with current Taboonay 2.2

Before that i was in stock version (update done by OTA) :

Build : Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN1

Kernel : 2.6.36.3+

For my A500 two (full rom) roms available :

Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2

Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1

1) What is the difference between GEN1 & GEN2 ? Generally what does it mean GEN1 and GEN2 ?

2) My current version (before Taboonay) was 7.006.01_COM_GEN1 and for the same "GEN1" version available is "7.006.03_COM_GEN1" does it mean that it's an earlier version than mine ?

3) In case of flashing my tabs with it, does it suppress CWM on recovery partition and then if i want to add an other alternative rom, need to downgrade again, install CWM, etc.. etc..

Sorry for those may be stupid question, but i like to understand what i'am doing.

Thx a lot.
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
not 100% sure but I think gen 1/gen 2 is a regional thing. If you were originally on gen 1 then the gen 1 update is your regions. I think tabhooney is based on a gen 2 stock rom so that is why you are shown a stock gen 2 updates being available. When you registered with acer they have your device as gen 1 region and is why the gen 1 update is available. If you update to either stock roms you will need to downgrade to 3.1 to get back root. Hope this makes sense and pretty sure that's the way it works cheers

7.006.03 is later update then you originally had it is the 3.2 version of honeycomb cheers.

7.014.15_com_Gen1

Just received 7.014.15 from 7.014.03 in Australia. Performed some different type of update of "calibrating tablet - do not power off or reset. wait several minutes - Will reboot automatically when finished."

still 3.2.1, not sure what is different
[Acer Iconia A500] castafiore:
Same for me, benkus83, in France.

Apparently, Acer has sent the 7.014.14 in other european countries (Italy, Switzerland,...).

I wonder if this version, the 7.014.15 one, is dedicated to other countries than France.

I must say too that I have re-installed the stock rom 3.2 (Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1) that I picked up on the thread of vache.

Both of the above are the 3.2.1 update (and have the same set of APKs once the patches are applied to the 7.014.14 COM GEN1 version

--

Also new multi-platform python decoder (with auto detect 8 and 16bit "keys") to "decrypt" the file:

decode_acer_zip.py (gist via github)

(Thors pre-built program will of course still work, the key has not changed, but this way you know what you are running on your computer, also the links at the top of the source talk more about how the encoding was found, and details as to how it works)

Hi

I received the notification of upgradee of my A501 to the new buid 4.483.01 (i am in italy).

Just to avoid to loose root privileges i downloaded the update (347 Mb). It has been saved under cache/Fota..

I have now copied this file on my pc to decrypt it but after decryption i can open the zip file but if i try to extract the update.zip inside i get CRC error.

Does anybody know if i am doing something wrong?

Help will be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
You need to decrypt it first (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099673)

Can you upload this update somewhere so we can have a look ?

What is your current version (before upgrading to 4.483.01) ?
[Acer Iconia A500] v11lemans:
I decrypted the file using the Thor tool.

So i have the file decripted but i am not able to extract the update because of the CRC error.

The previous version is 4.037. This is the one i rooted by myself and installed via CWM.

I will try to upload. I need an account before.
[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
Do you have the full filename ?

Something like "Acer_A501_x.xxx.xx_4.037.xx_XXXXXXX_XXXXXX_XXXXXXXX.zip

We can download it directly from futuredial servers.
[Acer Iconia A500] v11lemans:
No this is the name of the file stored under cache/fota_dn.

C6B246F89CD47EACB5BB07324AF823AA.zip.

I suppose that the complete name should be Acer_501_4.483.01 followed by the numbers.

PS : Uploading now the original file via multiupload. Give you the link in a couple of minute.
[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
Can you check for the downloaded link in alogcat ?

That one is quite odd: 3.2.1 but built on late september 2011, no bootloader flashing, and the 3G_ver has some 'demo' reference.

The incremental build is old, yet the update version is one of the highest recently.

You can use the Com_Gen1.

Also, if you sign up for Vach's kitchen on his site, he has a lot more updated stock roms you can download from his server. There are some 3.2.1 roms there.

Just remember, these are 100% Stock roms, and some of them need to be decrypted to remove the update.zip from the package.

These are NOT ROOTED.

Hi! all. i'm trying to unroot my iconia tab & revert back to stock rom & receive OTA updates from acer. Can anyone provide a stock rom meant for the Singapore market & how should i go about unrooting my tab in order for it to receive OTA updates again from Acer? I'm currently using one of the stock rom 3.1 i downloaded from here but its not for the Singapore market. I need one that was originally released for the Singapore market.

Not to be rude, but all you folks ^^^ need to be posting this in the Q&A forum, and not in the Rom listing. Not a lot of people pay attention to this thread. You'll get a lot better help there. ;)

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

I'll give you a short answer. If that doesn't fix it for you, then I'll ask you to post your issue in the Q&A forum, where a lot more folks would help you. Very few people go to this thread. I only come once in a while to direct to the proper forum.

What you did, was indeed "wipe" most of your Rom out to "la la land". Why you did this, I don't know.

And I suppose you didn't check to see which Com Gen you were using? Or, did you do a Recovery Backup in CWM after you rooted and installed CWM?

I will assume the answer is no.(please tell me you made a recovery backup awhile ago)

So, you basically have 3 choices.

1. Install a stock Rom/EUU You will find these on the Original Post. The EUU you run from your pc, where the regular Stock roms, you should able to flash normally. (note that some need to be de-crypted first, instructions in the OP)

2. Get one of the 3.2 updates, decrypt it, and remove the "update.zip" from the rom file using 7zip. "COPY" the update.zip to Ext SD card, pwr off. Boot holding Vol + and PWR. Update should install.

3. You still have CWM. Download and install a custom 3.2 rom. Instructions and support are in each custom Rom's thread.

Hope this helps lead you in the right direction.

Com Gen 1 and TMPL roms contain the Asian language support. Whether it is for Singapore, I can't tell you. Although Com Gen 1 supports more versions of asian languages. Regardless, they will all get updates.

Should post this in Q&A. Or find a tablet site in your region and ask some questions there. They might know which ones you need.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

It's not always possible to get every exact image from Acer. They don't like to release these things all the time.

You can use any Com_Gen_1 for your region. Com_Gen_2 is usually for the States and Canada. Gen 1 for Europe and a few other countries incuding Asia and some ME countries, TMPL for East Europe countries.

If you want that Rom that gave the error, send a PM to ATGadmin, it came from him originally.

And better to post this in Q&A.

Hi everyone

I was looking a way to install a stock rom because the tablet's owner block it and now the tablet is requesting the email and the pass to unlock it, and the best he does not remember it. I did the Revert OTA from 3.2 to 3.0.1 but the data still intact and the tablet continue requesting user and pass from Google email.

Also, I don't know which stock rom I'll need because I can not see the about phone section. May I use the Acer_A500_7.014.01_041.203.01_COM_GEN1? update with it to start from the beginning, I don't care to erase the data I can start over again.

If the hard factory reset doesn't work, you have MUCH more serious problems...
[Acer Iconia A500] bengar:
That is correct, this is a serious problem, I will return the tablet to his owner, is too risky to do, without cwm I can't do nothing.

Thanks zardoz99

Sorry, I really did try to find the answer to this question specifically for the ICS ROMs, but I don't know if anyone has tried it yet. I am on rooted stock 3.2 (no 3.2.1 update), and am wondering if I can upgrade to the ICS ROM. I know I will lose root as well as CWM, and that's OK, I figure I can try the root method for the leak posted on another thread here. I guess I am just concerned about whether CWM update will work considering the changes from HC to ICS (bootloader, etc).

I know I will have to decrypt it first.

I guess I could also reflash the stock recovery with the Acer recovery app, but CWM is easier since I can just choose the zip, and I'm more comfortable with it.

Thanks,
