Hi,
I am currently running:
Android Version: 3.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3
Build Number: Acer_A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2
The system wants me to update to 4.010.13 (says it is a 14.49mb file); I am rooted now... anyone experience any issues with letting this update happen?
*** Update ***
I figured out how to resolve this issue; maybe my findings will help others as well. This solution assumes you are rooted and are running Acer Recovery Installer.
Launch Acer Recovery Installer
Click "Stock USA #.###.##_???_??? recovery (Substitute # and ? with whatever yours says)
Click "Install Recovery Image"
Let it backup current Recovery Image if it asks!
Once the recovery image is back to stock close Acer Recovery Installer
Launch Settings
Select "About Tablet"
Select "System Update"
Select "Check Now"
Download update
Install Now
Once downloaded the system will reboot into recovery, install the update and reboot (BE PATIENT IT WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES! DO NOT REBOOT MANUALLY!!!!!!)
Once the system reboots you will see several dialogue boxes that says different aspects were successful
Now that all of that is finished launch Acer Recovery Installer again
Select "Restore previously backed-up recovery image
When that completes... you are ready to work again!
I believe that update will not effect anything.
Or very little.

I tried to let it update; it downloads fine... however it fails when it tries to apply the update.
Are you running Clockworkmod or stock recovery? I don't think the OTA update will work with anything but stock recovery.

If you do not already have Acer Recovery Installer; download and install it from the market. You should be able to install stock recovery using that app!
loose stock recovery

So do we need CWM or something to update? Would like to use this on a non-rooted phone.

Yes...
1. Rename to update.zip
2. Place on root directory of sdcard (directory that pops up when you mass storage your device to computer)
3. Boot into stock recovery (Vol Down+Camera+Power)
4. Select install update.zip
5. Boot into GB !

Just rename it update.zip and place it in the root of your sd card. Hold vol up an vol down, camera, and power to get into recovery and apply update.

I'm a bit confused.. whats the difference between CWM and Stock recovery.. (Volume down+camera+power).. thats how you would boot into CWM(purple, orange, etc...)
you can use this to return to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904&highlight=rerfs
and just use the purple cwm to apply the update
make sure you rename it to Recovery.zip and place in the root of sd card

OK, so now how do we root this thing?
Will having root interfere with this update? I am fully stock otherwise (no custom kernels, roms, modems, etc).
Hi guys. I have a small question and maybe a problem. I have Nexus 4 rooted with unlocked boot loader, and TWRP installed on it. And as I think with stock rom, because only done everything to root, but nothing else.
Now I have a problem: phone offering to update to 4.3. I press update. It updating and restarting, but after restart it loads TWRP. And what should I do next to finish update? Because I don't know how to make it finish updating with TWRP? What should I do with TWRP to do so? I will be very thankful for any help. Because twice was making update, but still on 4.2.2.
You need to flash the stock recovery because you can't update via OTA with a custom recovery.
You can actually OTA with TWRP.. The device should load into TWRP and complete the update. After the update you will lose TWRP and root

I have seen this in 4.2.2 but not on 4.3. Could you please elaborate a bit more? How did you accomplish this with all these new security policies in 4.3? Thanks.

This is incorrect. The best way to update is download the ota zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Go to twrp recovery flash the ota zip then SU zip v1.51 reboot done. Now you got 4.3 with root and you won't lose your recovery

Sorry if it sounded incorrect to you but what you just suggested, although it works, it is not an OTA update per definition as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

When you get the notification saying there is a update on your phone you select it and it downloads flashes the ota zip. What I said is the same thing except you download it and flash it your self and by doing it this way you can flash the SU zip at the same time and not lose root or recovery.

Thanks, your post above made me read that thread you linked and while it works, it's not a real OTA (notification from Google or OEMs), but let's not fall into semantics here, the thing is it works and does the job pretty much like a real OTA. Thanks again, I learned (and downloaded) something new today

The zip in the link is from Google. When someone got the notification on there phone they posted the link to the zip it would be the same file if you received it on your phone

I know my friend I'm just trying to say that the affirmation "yes, you can update via OTA using a custom recovery" is not valid for someone getting the notification which is the common scenario for most people. Anyways, it's all good :thumbsup:

Awessome thanks bud. It's been awhile and I forgot if it did or not. You rock.
Got the OTA for Lolllipop 5.0.2 today. Copied it from /cache/ before I started the update. Update info stated it would take around 15 minutes to complete, but in my case it took closer to 25 minutes. It stayed for a couple of minutes on the bootloader logo ("warning bootloader unlocked"), so don't freak out and just let it finish. I was on Kitkat stock, rooted and using Xposed. I uninstalled Xposed framework before applying the OTA.

Hello. I have a problem installing the ota: i downloaded the file, put in sd, it was found and started to install, turned off and started updating, then in about 1/3 of process an error occured and rebooted. No other info, just an "error" information. Anybody any ideas?

The most common reasons for the error response are:
1. Not currently running EU 4.4.4 stock.
2. Rooted.
3. Custom recovery.
Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm running this. It's a stock EU retail rom I think. My phone was never rooted, bootloader is locked and no custom recovery installed. Everything is stock.

Fingerprint errors are usually caused by not using the stock recovery. You need the recovery that's part of the stock ROM.

I noticed you have a ROM "EuRetailSL". I'm quite sure I upgraded from a Kitkat ROM without "SL" in the name.
So my scenario.
I'm on the unlocked B20_boot Build. Rooted. TWRP.
What files are needed to upgrade to B27?
What are the step by step?
I have read through the different threads, but it is confusing at times and rather not make a mistake. It would probably benefit multiple people.
Cheers!
I'm in the same boat. I downgraded to B20 and cannot get the .up file provided recognized in recovery to flash. Using the system updater just puts me right back on B20_Boot. Just using the twrp backup does not flash the B27 firmware.

I did that already too. But it still didn't work. Don't worry about it, though. I appreaciate the help, however, I am just going to wait for CyanogenMod to be released. I only wanted to test out the new update. It's not worth the frustration, though. I honestly prefer CyanogenMod.

Don't expect it anytime soon within the next 3 months.
The updates to the firmware and software are substantial enough that I need to find a 100% working method that I can confirm that takes me from B20_boot, downgraded to B20, then updated to B27 from stock recovery.

The best way would be a System Image from ZTE, but we are SOL on that for now.
