[Q] [A700] update files anyone ?

Hi all,
like many I have unlocked, changed recovery and rooted my A700. This means no OTA for me.
It would be very useful of we could create a thread or get links here to upgrade zip files that could be flashed through CWM...
To start with my personal need, I am on the JB stock rom with a FR A700 ; could someone post the update file that was recently OTAed ?
Many thanks

[Q] Acer Iconia A700 JB rooting

I just get my Acer Iconia A700 with android JB 4.1.1 installed.
I want to root it, but all I have found is for ICS 4.0.3.
I also want to keep the original rom.
Is it possible, just rooting, not flashing?
thanks in advance

There are a couple methods you can use, and still maintain the stock image.
Look at this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953917
2 methods you can use.
a. The CWM method. This replaces your Stock recovery with a custom recovery you can flash zip files from.
b. Alternative method (keeps your stock recovery) This offers the least intrusive method of getting root.
CWM has been known to cause issues in the early days, but it seems the more recent versions have settled down. I still wouldn't advise making and restoring backups though. Just from my own experience.
The unsecure Boot.img (kernel) should be the method I would advise. This allows booting via "fastboot" (like when you unlocked your bootloader) and then "fastboot flash boot xxxxxxboot.img) Then you need only to get Superuser and busybox. Note that in some cases, you will need to use ADB to "push" the SU binary. You can can find the commands in my 701 unsecured boot.img thread here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934056 Just don't use "my" boot.image as it's for the 701. Use the one in Vorbeth's thread.

try TWRP. There are some known issues with CWM.
Just unpack the zip from Asus one time. Put the file on your internal space and flash it like every other rom.
After that you will have the stock recovery back. So you have to flash TWRP once again.

[Q] [A700] Flash a stock ROM over CM10.1

Hi everybody,
My Iconia Tab A700 is currently under CM10.1 nightlies but i would like to go back to a stock ROM 4.1 from Acer, i got the latest french .zip from the official website (about 300MB) and i saw on this forum that it should be flashed as an update.zip (on external SD) but i did not managed to find a answer to this question: can i flash it this way even if i currently use CM10.1 and a CWM recovery ? Because it's seems that everybody who flashed it this way was already under stock ROM (sometimes with CWM).
Thanks for any future help.
(Hope my english is not too bad)
