You might be able to recover if you go through the steps to install the patched ICS bootloader or use the method from this thread , it might help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1516012

Should work on an A500 BUT, just like an A501 running an A500 rom you might not get GPS.... There may be other little issues too but the A501 and A500 have the same basic hardware... Just no GPS.
You might also get an error message saying "Insert SIM Card"...
As long as you do a nandroid backup before installing there should be a way to fix if it doesn't work..

Does anyone remember the old "cell standby"? Where the 500 was looking for a 3g signal, and used battery power? I suspect that might also happen here as well if you run it on an a500.

не знаю английский, по нашему): Проши для этих моделей взаимно совместимы, не так ли? Кто-нибудь может дать однозначный ответ?

Generally, you can run a 501 rom on an a500. However, because the 501 rom contains code meant to support the internal 3g, 500 users may experience higher battery drain. Also, depending on the kernel, GPS may or may not work.

A 500 rom running on an a501, results in no 3g, and more than likely, no GPS either. Depends on kernel.

Can you install them? Yes. Will they run? Yes, but not to the full potential.

Please go easy on this guy, it looks like he is trying to post a ROM for the almost forgotten A501. English obviously isn't his native tongue either.

As for calling him a fraud, unless he hacked something a fraud wouldn't have over 5000 thanks.

Not trying to start a fight I just don't want to see devs jumping ship on the Iconia's over things like this when so many have already left.

You really shouldn't talk to people this way. There is no reason for it. Paul-xxx is a respected RD, so you should respect that.

Why you want to start calling people names is beyond me.
