[Acer Iconia A500] sixstring774:
I used this EUU

Official Acer EUU 3.0.1

WHOA!! Something happened overnight. When I went to bed last night I was stuck in APX.

I was going to try a new EUU or babsector like you suggested. As I was getting ready to do that I powered on the tablet. It vibrated and the ACER logo came up on the screen. First time it has done that since I started trying to fix it. It does not say it is download mode like it did before.

Looking at the guide there is a section that says

Use this update.zip for any of the following:

- You do not have your cpuid

- You are stuck on the "Acer" Logo

- Your tab boots past the Acer Logo but then boot loops at the boot animation

- You are on the old HC bootloader /ICS Rom combination

- You wish to return to factory stock, and OTA all the way to Stock ICS

Should I be trying that now?

I ended up trying the tdv4 EUU. I put the tablet back into APX mode.

This was the result.
