Just got my a700 today and enjoy immediately got a notification that the JB update was available. What I would like to know from some of the more knowledgeable members (and almost everyone is more knowledgeable than me) is should I go ahead and install the Acer JB update or should I root, unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom? I. have read that because Acer has not released a certain type of code, that with the stock JB update I will not be able. to root or unlock the bootloader.

I have flashed my a700 to Pawitp's latest CM10 Nightly build. the screen reaction is better than the stock one. And all the stock apps are removed. Nice!! But once my a700 suddenly rebooted, maybe the conflict of apps. All in all i will suggest flashing to the CM10. Sorry for my poor English.
Stock JB ROOT or CM10 ??
Hi,
sorry if I post here but I can't post in Android Development forum.
I could not resist JB OTA when I turned on for the first time my tablet
Now, can I root OTA firmware??!
I unlocked the bootloader and I tried flash CWM recovery, unlock work, but CWM didn't work :/
Can I now flash CM10? How? (back to ICS?)
Sorry for asking too many questions and my poor english
Thanks
Regards,
Lorenzo

Hey,
Your CWM doesn't work, as it's for the ICS Bootloader. They (Germans) have a CWM for JB, but.... due to issues in the past with some early CWM's, a lot are a little afraid to use it. I haven't seen a lot of problems on the German site, so maybe it is ok. I have it installed on my 701, but haven't had the need to use it yet.
As with root, wait another day or so, and my Mate Civato will finish the modded boot.img for the JB 700, so you guys won't have to do a mess of things.
Will be a simple root.

I can wait for a few more days
thank you very much for your work.
Keep me updated
Hey folks..
i bought a TF300T a couple of weeks ago which i updated to Jelly bean so i was not able to root it ..
Now i got it switched to a new tablet because it was " DOA ".. so that was pretty lucky..
Now i have the TF300T with ICS and the Jelly bean update waiting for me..
Anyhow, this time i want to root this thing and install custom roms on it..
Problem is i cant find a guide nor anything on how to root it and update it to jelly bean and still keep root / CWM..
the only guide i found was one done with the US update..
Can anyone give me a guideline to where i should start?
EDIT: Do i have to unlock my bootloader to root?

Ok, When you say that you can't find anything on how to root, or guidelines and etc...
It's false, cause I think that you haven't really search on this specific forum.
On first, click on my sig (the Index for the TF300T/TG) and you will find all you need.
and finally you need to search and read a little. It's easy to post a question, you wait that a kindly person could give you some answer.
if you want to root without JB, don't open your wifi, for stop update by OTA
After unlock your tf300
and use NVFLASH on final
hi all im starting to get bored off all the crashes on my tablet and want to upgrade to jelly bean, one problem though is i unlocked my bootloader before and now cant officially upgrade because asus knows i unlocked my bootloader.

Unfortunately, you can't re-lock your bootloader, as far as I know. So your choice is either upgrade to the Asus official Jelly Bean the hard way or flash a custom rom.
To upgrade to Asus official JB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377
If you do upgrade to Asus JB manually, beware that you can't flash any other ROM aside from stock-based because of changes in the bootloader, so once you do upgrade you're limited to flashing 4 ROMs, i.e. CleanROM, Jelly Bean Hydro, and 2 other ROMs that I cant remember off the top of my head.
Or, you could flash Cyanogen Mod 10 (and ROMs based off of AOSP) without upgrading to the ASUS official JB, in which case you get to experience JB without changing your bootloader. Do this if you're not going to miss ASUS-specific apps. Here's the link to CM10 nightly build:

I recommend you go through this thread as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227
Hope that helps bro.
And the next time, give a good title for your OP as ' i want to upgrade to JB' or something else, not your FB or People title who say nothing.
It will be better to give you a more appropriate help
Thanks in advance
yes thanks for the help im now on the asus jelly bean and will now look to installing a custom rom on there to get the best out of my device, and yes I must admit my title is pretty ****e and need to think before posting it lol

And do you know that you have one button :
EDIT/DELETE (down - to the right) => click
and you will see an another screen, and a another button : Go advanced (down - to the right, always) => click
a another screen, and on this screen, you can change the title of your OP
It's easy, isn't it ?
I used the steps described by cbetso 14 May 2012 on HOW TO ROOT YOUR TAB (message #33) in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 section of xda developers Forum. It is the unlockr method. It worked great. Thank you to everyone there who shared so much!
It gave me the message: "You have successfully rooted your tablet as well as installed CWM recovery on it."
The 4.0.4 update was offered by Samsung several months ago, and Jelly Bean may be offered in the future. My questions are simple:
In the rooting process, did I overwrite the official ICS 4.0.3 Samsung ROM?
May I update to 4.0.4 from the currently rooted state?
Must I remove CWM before updating?
And/or must I do something else to prepare the Tab in advance of applying the updates?
If so, please point me to a location on the forum where the steps are listed.
Sorry for the Beginner questions. Thank you in advance for any help.

The 4.0.4 update was offered by Samsung several months ago, and Jelly Bean may be offered in the future. My questions are simple:
In the rooting process, did I overwrite the official ICS 4.0.3 Samsung ROM? No, all you did was provide a modified script. Although, I may be stood corrected, as I did not find your link to your rooted method.
May I update to 4.0.4 from the currently rooted state? If you are rooted, then no you need to be Stock. Unless some one has provided an Updated.zip, then that can be applied over your root method.
Must I remove CWM before updating? No, if you have returned to Stock. The Stock Recovery will be applied over the Custom Recovery. Unless again, someone has provided the proper Updated.zip that can be applied through a Custom Recovery.
And/or must I do something else to prepare the Tab in advance of applying the updates? If you return to Stock, No. If someone has provided an Update.zip to flash from a Custom Recovery (i.e, CWM), then No...
If so, please point me to a location on the forum where the steps are listed. Hello bettyhills, I am fairly new to this particular device, and the only thing I have found here is a download in regards to a 4.0.4 update, from the 4.0.3 Stock version, is a download that consisted of a bunch of partition files, that needed to be installed via Heimdall. In my hesitation primarily, because it neglected to provide the correct instructions. I opted to wait for the Jelly Bean updated, which has yet to have been correctly distributed for the GT2-p3113 device, although there is a GT2-p3110 version out there... To reiterate, in my hesitation I told myself I would wait for the Jelly Bean update before flashing a Stock Rom to rightfully except an Official Samsung Distribution, by returning to Stock and re-rooting...
Although, you may want to wait for a more like-able suggestion..., from someone else!!!
