I'm currently trying to downgrade my Acer a100 to hc 3.2 from the glitched up version of ics 4.0. I found several threads with a link to the download but the link appears to be dead. When I try to download it appears to try to fetch it but ends as download unsuccessfully. Does anyone have an answer for this? Thanks.

Have you tried just doing a factory reset on the ICS your on to see if it clears anything up?
If you need it, Here<< is the post I used to downgrade to 3.2.1, keep in mind that you will most likely need to factory reset after the tablet reboots. It might hang on the android logo. Just power down then follow the hard reset from the recovery to get it to go.
Yes. I tried the factory reset but it still hangs up when using apps, browser, email, etc. Constant hang ups. Btw, I got the from downloaded but now it will not extract. Any ideas? I've tried win zip, unrar, and archidroid to no avail.

You don't extract it. You need to rename it "update.zip" (make sure not to rename it "update.zip.zip"). Place it on the root of a freshly formatted microSD card. Then put it in the powered down tablet. Press and hold simultaneously the power button, and the volume down rocker (the one closest to the corner), until the tab vibrates. Then release, and you will see the it finding and installing the update file. After it restarts, if it hangs on the android logo (give it 5-10 minutes), perform the factory reset.
Gotcha, so there is noway to load it using the native memory or internal memory on the device? Or would that be a no-no anyways in the case it crashes during loading lol?
Thanks in advance!

You never want to flash from internal memory, if something goes wrong you'll lose the file in the middle flashing right after your stuff is formatted. It may or may not format /data but if it does all of it, there goes internal SD.
Update.zip method is run from external SD I don't think it even checks internal SD when looking.

Ok. I see. But I'm still a little confused. I've finally got the file downloaded and placed on the sd card. Which I might add was ridiculous as apparently it can't be placed on there manually without placing the file on a pc and loading it that way. Nonetheless, how exactly do I flash it now. I have it named update.zip.
Sorry for the confused remarks and questions. I'm use to Windows and have little experience with Linux based platforms. It seems as if Acer intentionally locked a lot of features on the a100 such as host usb ports, movable file systems, etc. Unless I'm dreaming here lol. Either way I like the tablet for the price.
Thanks.

Omg, thank you so much for posting the links to get the HC 3.2 stock ROM! You are a lifesaver. I had issues after an update where the wifi on this tablet wouldn't connect to any router. I had almost given up until I found your post. Now I have ICS 4.0.3 on this thing!!!
I also have the same problem no one can answer.
OK. Finally got it... I think. Here's what I had to do. Because the rom download kept faulting out randomly on download, I ended up using my laptop to download a program called download accelerator plus (dap) from old version.com. I then used its download manager to complete the download. I know... crazy, but it did the trick. The rest was per the directions given by other users on xda.

Hey, really sorry to post in a dead thread, but I can't find a working download link for 3.2 anywhere; it appears that the site is down. You guys seem to have downloaded it successfully though, so I was wondering if maybe one of you could put it on rapidshare or something? I very much need it, and I would appreciate a working download link. Thanks.

This one is 3.2.1. Remember if you are gong from 4.0 to 3.2, after the update goes through and it reboots, it might hang on the android logo. You need to factory reset to get it back.
1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5. Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7. Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.

I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again
For Recovery.
Turn off.
Push power button and hold, then press and hold bottom left and right page buttons for 5 seconds.

With the device off (it will say it is off)
Push and hold the power button, them immediately push and hold both bottom (left and right) page turn buttons.
When it powers on release the power button and release the page turn buttons when the recovery screen comes up (see attached picture).
If you need someone to help, you have an opportunity to make a new friend
It is not difficult, but as usual with these things it may take a few tries to get the timing right.

Its actually not complete factory reset. I had some stuff in System and Keyboard mods and they stuck when I factory reset. I'm going to be releasing a SD card image that COMPLETELY factory resets the device.
I don't think it un-roots it, unless an unrooted nook has a wireless adb connection. I did this hit yes twice and completed the factory reset and i can still connect to the nook touch via wireless adb I just installed adw again without going through any of the rooting process again.
On the nook color what is referred to as the "factory reset" just resets the data partition
also since i had gapps installed it booted to the android welcome screen on my 2nd boot.
edit: I just "factory reset" again and it boots fine at first but then a reboot brings it to the android welcome screen with the moving hand to the android button and it gets stuck there.
So we need someone to figure out how to do a system reset.
edit: on my defense ^ post wasnt here when i started typing mine.

Actual Factory Reset
Success...kinda, so i got a full factory reset, however i am not sure how. I for the life of me could not get 8 failed boots to work, the thing always wanted to boot regardless of what i was pressing, so i was messing around in adb installing some things, deleting some things and then when i typed reboot it just rebooted to the factory image screen.
I uploaded the actual factory reset screen. If anybody else has success getting it to go to restoring original factory image maybe you can give a more reliable way.
edit: i have been messing with it for a few hours so maybe it got sick of me and was like, eff it i am factory imaging.
I can confirm this works since after i did it the data was still untouched (launchers were still installed but root was lost/ wireless adb no longer connected) after i had the factory reset then i did a data reset that is posted in op and I was back to pure stock files.
I'll confirm that the factory reset listed by the OP doesn't work completely. I would reset the Touch, then power off and on, and then the android screen would show up at that point. This happens consistently.
I'm not sure the Nook Touch is my cup of tea, so I'm thinking it might be headed back to B&N. I'm definitely interested in any clear working instructions for a true reset to factory default that can be conjured by wiser minds than mine.
Sorry, duplicate post.

I followed the instructions for the nook color here:
Method two: Set the Boot counter to 8 by typing
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
I rooted my nook touch using touchnooter. Loaded up the amazon app store and played around for a while. But I found after I rooted the nook that the nook store didn't work any more. So i wanted to get back to factory state. I then installed the wireless adb app. I logged in to my nook using my linux pc and followed the above directions. After the re-image you have to do a data reset by going in and restoring to factory settings in the nook itself.
As soon as I gave the reboot command it started the re-image as seen in this link:

It looks that vache-android is down D=..
Does anyone has another link to that update.zip file?
--Sorry for my english
I had the same problem when trying to do the hard reset, then found better instructions. When you do the hard reset follow these steps exactly:
1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5. Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7. Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.
Stock Rom (Update.zip) needed for step one can be found HERE

Hi Cheeb!
The 2nd file that you provided a link for seems to be an entire image (based on size). Are you sure it is necessary to flash the original firmware first or do you think we can simply flash the 3.2.1 and then perform the Hard Reset?
Thanks!

I've never tried it that way (only because I did EXACTLY as the other post specified)...I think there was some sort of issue with the flashing of the 3.2.1 straight from ICS....either a boot loop or something similar....
I started a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592993 which some moderator in an apparent moment of tyranny closed.
However, before it was closed, someone had given an helpful answer. So if you run into trouble trying to revert back to honeycomb, flash the ICS 009 leak first and you can follow the other steps as detailed in this thread.
That is the only step that worked for me.

What leak? 012?....if so...it will let you go back to HC..as far as the OTA ..well...I don't know...
If you want the "OTA" rom..then the 014 posted in the devs section IS the OTA your looking for...it has been confirmed from people who received the OTA (014) and people who flashed the posted rom (014) that they are the SAME.
As far as going back to HC...my MAIN concern was always having the opportunity to go back to it because of the touch screen issues.....the new STOCK rom that has been posted fixed those issues for the most part...there are still some compatibility issues but that is to be expected when moving to a new operating system....
Just flash the rom...screw the OTA..
OR if you have the 012 leak (or any other leak prior to the 014...and I say that only because I haven't tried to go back to HC from 014) then try this procedure that I've done damn near 20 different times which worked perfectly...

Yes, that is what I did, and I followed the steps in Post #2. The only difference is that I didn't use the 2007.04 zip file since I had already downloaded the 2007.01 download. All that did was ensure that I had one more update OTA to get to 2007.04 but it worked all the same.

This YouTube vid is to show you how to do a hard reset for a500 and a100. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k9HY...e_gdata_player first update your tablet to hc. Than when it done shut off your tablet and do the hard reset to get hc to work
QUOTE=crossix;22970185]I was able to go back to HC from ICS by dd'ing the recovery and boot partitions from my signature then flashing http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=109 then doing a hard reset. My guess is that it doesnt wipe cache /restore dalvik so a hard reset is necessary. To hard reset press and hold the right volume button then press the power button. When the acer logo appears flip the screen lock switch back and forth a few times and the green android should show and wipe out /data /cache and dalvik.
Thank to peporras and crossix for finding how to get hc again

****Follow these directions...its what I did when I first got tired of ICS....I've done it about 3-times...it works great.....
****First...download that rom...unzip...in the folder you'll see "update.zip" ...put that on the root of your EXTERNAL sd card...
***Next...turn off tab....turn it back on holding the up volume button and power...let go of the power button BUT KEEP your finger holding down the up volume button....LET TAB DO ITS THING..
***After that...it'll reboot...hold the power button down until the tab turns off (yes...during the reboot phase)...
***Flip the screen lock switch down...(so you see the red)....turn on tab holding the power button and the down volume button...LET GO OF THE POWER BUTTON BUT NOT THE VOLUME DOWN....flip the screen lock flip a few times...you'll see some writing on the tab (i believe like its wiping the cache etc)...
***The tab will restart...I wouldn't set anything up...because your next step is to UPGRADE your rom with this package
Acer_A100_2.007.04_COM_GEN1 : http://fileshost.fr.mu/download/84/S...l_user.7z.html
***Same procedure as before...put the zip on the root of your external sd....rename it update.zip...
***Flash like you did before...set your rom up....and your done...
***Follow this method to root your HB tab..

I'll do it....did you fully wipe first? Also some more information would be nice. Like..unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, etc. What you're running directly affect the steps taken to do anything.
i sent my tablet off to acer to get serviced because it would not boot up. when i got it back it had honeycomb. i got the ota upgrade to ics but it had "1.0014_cus" on the end of the ics version. im all stock, stock locked bootloader. i didnt want to go through all the rooting because this is my wife's tablet. i knew that it was a new update and the stock rom i had did not update. i just download the 1.0014_gen1 and renamed it update.zip and did the stock recovery update. thanks for replaying.

Ok, have you done a reset on it yet?
Power off tablet
Hold volume UP (furthest from lock switch)
Press and hold Power
Once it gets to the acer screen let go of power and toggle the lock switch a few times while holding Volume UP
should do a reset
reboot and report back.
Theres videos on youtube if you need a visual aid.

Thanks it worked. I did notice some sluggishness when doing somethings. but the sound works. i also noticed that when you are runing a app sometimes it jumps back to the home screen when just holding it. but thanks for the help.

The jumping to home happens to my wife almost constantly, but never to me. I think it's part of the hyper sensitive issue these have, combined with how it's being held at the time. I guess the way I hold it doesn't trigger it, but my wife does somewhow.
The sluggishness thing happens on occasion anyways, I've seen it alot on Acer and Acer based ROMs, but I don't seem to run into it on CM9 or Jellytime. Occasional reboots will also help with that.
Hey guys, I've been searching all over for an answer to my problem, so I have looked...
Anyways...I was messing around with my phone (Verizon Galaxy Nexus) and decided to give MIUI a go, so I downloaded, backed up my current ROM and factory/cache/dalvik cache wiped my phone prior to install.
When It booted up, it stayed on the Google screen for a WHILE, so I just left it there thinking it would take a while as these things usually do.
Well, it won't, it sat on the google screen for over a half an hour. At this point I pulled the battery and tried to get into Recovery for a restore/sbf (Powere+Volume Down) and it won't let me navigate anywhere in the menu.
I'm stuck at Start with a notification that says "Downloading...Do not turn of target !!" The only thing I can do is press the power button which of course sends me back to the google logo and I'm at square one.
I've tried the toolkit on my desktop, but that does not work either (I've already set it up, as I used it to root in first place.) Does anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can normally figure these things out, but im really stuck here. Sorry if this shouldn't be here, Q/A just seemed like the right place
Thanks in advance

To get into recovery, you need to hold volume down AND volume up and press power. (This will take to you to the bootloader, and then select recovery.)
Edit- What they said. ^^^
Have you tried booting it up after pulling the battery? It may boot fine for you now. If not you want to hold volume up + volume down + power that is how you access recovery.
Volume down + power took you to Odin mode.
Allons-y
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
Its usually always something small...

Odin is a Samsung-specific interface that allows you to flash partitions to your device. For the most part, it is not needed on a GNex, given that we have unlockable bootloaders and can use fastboot. However, it is sometimes needed when your bootloader gets corrupt, and you can't use fastboot.
