[a700] Stock JB update or CM10

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.

[Q] Corrupt screen during boot p3113

Hello all,
I've seen this posted a few times either without resolution or a suggestion to reflash clean by wiping data, which did not work for me.
I originally rooted my tab via Odin on my PC when my tab was running 4.0.3 and then again when I updated to 4.0.4. Everything was fine. Then, when jellybean came out for the p3110, I flashed this via mobile Odin, it worked great, but I started seeing a corrupt display during boot for a second or two (green and light red vertical bars in a random pattern). I tried to get rid of this, but couldn't. I even flashed the official p3113 jellybean image from Samsung updates and it too has this boot corruption. Now I am on Cm 10.1, everything is working great, but I still have that annoying display corruption during boot.
Is there any way to fix this? My tablet is working fine, but I am worried about resale value.

I think we both have the same problem - look at my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178196
Did you find a method to fix this bug?

You need to flash a JB bootloader for your device. Method is in the first post CM10.1 thread in the 7-inch development section along with bootloaders for P3110 and P3100. There's a JB bootloader for the P3113 on post #1250 of that thread.
Look for the correct 51XX bootloader in the equivalent 10 inch Tab2 thread.

I thank you so much!

What if I flashed the JB bootlader (everything works fine with CM10.1) and then downgrade to an ICS ROM (4.0.4 with CSC DBT for example on Sammobile P3110XWBLH3 as PDA and P3110DBTBLH2 as CSC)?
Flashing to an official German ROM could be necessary for guarantee/warranty.
Will I have a bricked P3110?

It took me a bit of searching to find the correct thread, since there are quite a few CM 10.1 threads in the dev section!
I'm posting the correct thread in case anyone else has this issue:

Okay, the question could be a bit difficult
I have read the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722745 but it still won't help me.
What should I do if I have a JB-based ROM (with a JB bootloader) and want to downgrade to an official ICS ROM which I can find on Sammobile? Do I have to flash the firmware normally with ODIN (1-part firmware as PDA) or do I have to flash an ICS-bootloader before/after? Or is the bootlader in Sammobile's firmware included or do run ICS ROMs with JB-bootloaders?

I can confirm this works for me. I was having trouble flashing with Odin earlier... My windows XP VM kept crashing and rebooting every time I tried. I finally updated virtual box and that seemed to do the trick. My boot time seems much faster now and I see no corruption at all. Thanks!

it works for me to i was looking a long time to solve this thanks!!

I had stock 4.0.4 and i flashed stock 4.1.2 for my p3100. I see the glitch on startup - should I flash this bootloader for JB too? Is it safe and will it work with my rom version?

[Q] updating tab from 4.1.1 to the latest firmware

Hi, I'm using a Galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3110. android version 4.1.1. I've already rooted it however i don't have CWM installed.
I would like to know how I can update it's version, but I would like to have a nandroid backup first.
So my first question is, how do I install CWM if my tab's already rooted?
2nd, how can I update its version?
Sorry for my noob questions. I already tried reading and searching for the answers here in XDA, but I'm still lost.
Thank you.

Download odin flashables and flash through odin link
Or best way is to download ClockworkMod from gplay and download cwm from there and it'll flash directly.
Download 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 version from here link
I suggest 4.1.2 caz u can swap ur device sdcard on this version for gaming, if u r not a gamer than 4.2.2 is the best!!
Best of luck.

[Q] looking to going to Kitkat need help

I haven't done this in a while so could use some help. I'm currently rooted on Jb 4.1.2 sungsonic HD by adi. My model # says it's on gt-p3100 but I'm sure it really is gt-p3113. Question is can I just flash a new 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 rom or do I have to do something with Odin before I could start flashing Kitsap rooms? Thanks for any help

You need to first and foremost determine the exact model# of your tab. After that you will need to update your recovery to the absolute latest whether its CWM, TWRP or Philz and them you can flash one of the new KK 4.4.x ROMs of your choice. The big thing for you is the correct model# Get that wrong and its all down hill from there. Get your new recovery from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257 After that grab any ROM They are all great IMHO. Good Luck

Thanks. I got it to work yesterday with help from Android andi
