[Q] Acer Iconia A500 Stuck at Android after ICS upgrade - General Questions and Answers

I've done the upgrade following the directions on the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510706&highlight=ics+acer+tablet
When the device reboots it just says "Android" on the screen and you can't do anything from there. Anyone had this problem or know the solution? I couldn't find anything using search. Thank you.

I'd like to delete this thread. Posted to wrong area

A cursory glance through google search brought up your post on this forum and the announcement about the device. I will look further into this for you however my suggestion would be to look at the usual rooting applications such as superoneclick and if the device isn't listed as being support try and contact the applications developer. Short of that I don't really have much else to tell you at this point.
Has anyone had luck with rooting the MID7042. Would love to install google play and flash on this device. Great device but lacking these two items sort bring it down.
Found both apk from a search and they install fine, but close upon opening. Guessing they need superuser permissions.
Its hilarious when I Google "roor android" yer number one hit!!!

I also am having trouble with google play.
Managed to get tablet into recovery mode while plugged in. Any way to root it from there?
Hold volume up button and home button while pressing down power on, released on coby splash screen.
Recently Doing Some Research on this Device (MID7042-4)
Hi there,
The last post on this thread is from a few weeks ago. I just bought one of these recently, and was really annoyed that it does not come with the Android Market, etc. So far, I have been able to overcome that via a blog post; do a google search for Red7's blog on installing the android market on coby kyros mid7012.
This would allow you at least to have the market. There is also a youtube video shown in that post, which talks about some additional way to get Google Play working, and it also states some people reporting problems with the apk's posted there.

[Q] How to root as n Acer Iconia A500 with ICS

Hi,
I understand that there is a forum for this, but I am new and cannot reply to it. I have been reading the forum, Full root for A10x and A5xx ICS. Simple method. However i cannot get my A500 rooted. I have "allow USB debugging" turned on. I am running the insaller from an Acer Aspire 5845 running Windows 8. When I run the win installer, it says there is no device attached. I have tried to find an USB driver but I cannot find any driver that will work. I have researched and tried everything with no luck. Can anyone help me please?
Thank you,
Kent

Have you tried using Window 7 instead of windows 8? When you plug in the device, it should begin installing the drivers automatically, unless something goes wrong which requires you reinstall the drivers.
That worked! I am now rooted.
Can you now help me to understand how to unlock the bootloader? From my research it sounds like I have to do this to upgrade to JellyBean. Is this true?
Also do I have to be in APX mode to Install JellyBean? If so, why?
Thank you.

[Completed] Stock Rom Needed A33 Q8H 7" Please

Hi
Hope this is the correct place to ask,we have three tablets bought on UK Amazon -> B016HAGNK2
They are Allwinner A33 Q8H v1.5 (have checked mainboard) with Android 4.4.2, the problem is my little girl was messing about on hers and it restarted and stuck on boot screen loop, for some reason we couldn't get into the recovery menu so I downloaded a few firmwares to try and fix it via PhoenixSuit but we cannot seem to find the correct one , 99% of the ones I have tried have just given grey/black screens and the only one that actually loaded android everything was in arabic , the screen was duplicated and the touch screen was all messed up (the firmware was called Q75S_A33_QuadCore.img) it was listed on another forum alongside a pic of the same MB we have.
Can anyone out there help us?
Thank you in advance
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I can not find your stock firmware for that model anywhere on XDA nor on Google.
You may be able to pull what you need from one of the other devices that you have but you would have to get clear confirmation that particular works for that device.
Try posting your question in the forum linked below.
