[Tutorial] How to Flash Custom Rom On the Acer Iconia A500 (Virtuous Picasso)

This tutorial shows how to correctly flash your A500 with a custom rom using thor's Clockworkmod. The rom used is called Virtuous Picasso by m-deejay of xda-developers. Its based of the Asus EEE Pad Honeycomb 3.1 rom. You gotta to have clockworkmod(check out my channel for the tutorial on how to do it) installed and you have to have your Iconia rooted.

@csh191gmail no problem.

When I go for "Choose .zip from sd card" option, there is no Virtuous Picasso displayed there.

Is it because I have not updated my honeycomb 3.0 to 3.1 first?

Is 3.1 mandatory for this?

@dawoodmunir20 connect your iconia tab to the computer and put it on the root of the sd card. It will not see it if its on the external.

I cant find the folder "MicroSd".Do i have to create the folder myself?I have put an SD card in the Iconia but there is no MicroSD folder.

@izri1 When u connect the iconia to windows 7 click on device storages then the folder mnt or storages or external sd. Its one of those.

when i try to wipe data / factory reset it shows error cant delete data/data/com.android.vending or something like that

[KozKreole]

I can't get mine to go into that menu, it goes to android recovery, then try to reboot and 'boot verified failed' can you fix that

a few questions: how did you get the device to enable the reboot feature? if i hold down my power button, it only allows for shutdown...also, where did you get that mail widget? i flashed picasso and have rooted my iconia by the way. thanks!
