Not sure yet if it is the same as the leak but here it is.
http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=126&cid=1&mid=353&carrier=Verizon Wireless
Tip its the same as the leak.
Is this confirmed or OTA Pushed? How do we trust this website? Maybe they are just posting the leaked image.
MD5 of both RUU's leaked and this one match 100%
8B10DA4A49F762584D806AC398368D39
If That website is a "Reputable Source" then it appears the rom Football leaked is 100% Legit as is this. Windows EXE Matches 100%
that site is where verizon wireless hosts its updates, download a software update for any other HTC phone from vzw and that is where it will take you
Nice, Good to know then it appears all of us earlier updaters are in the good. Perhaps a Mod can merge these threads under "Droid Eris MR2 Update Official" or something of the likes, maybe a sticky with all the Updates and there MD5?
Do i have to wipe my phone and all of it settings for this update?
yes per the website it will wipe your device
So, I guess we are getting another update before we get 2.x on Jan 22, or is this the update on Jan 22. I was told by HTC and three diff VZW techs the update on the 22nd is some form of 2.x.
Who knows.... I hope your right but I won't be holding my breath.
Me too, I wish this MR2 is just a "incase build" theyll release it if there not done with 2.0 for our device? Either way, if there is no clear upgrade path from the MR2, I guess thats what phone insurance is for oops lost my phone!
Legit
It's Legit Folks heres from the VZW PDF, also VZW confirms over the phone. Heres the Fix:
"Rare instances where the display locked or
appeared to be in an out-of-service state when
attempting to wake up the DROID ERIS from
screen saver mode no longer occurs"
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/DROID_ERIS_Update.pdf
Another Confirmation...
The 1.17.605... software is 100% supported by Verizon. I had issues with my phone freezing and called them. They are shipping a new device with this update on the phone...
What a waste.. all it fixes is one thing, and not even the important thing.
Not even the important thing? I take it you were one of the lucky ones whose touch screen stopped responding? Mine did it several times a week. Sometimes during calls I was waiting for and couldnt answer, only had to yank battery and reboot... waste of 5 mins to call back.

Mine did it like twice the whole time I had it. Not as big a deal as, say, the WiFi chip never working, ringtone sometimes not going off, or how about the YouTube app never playing any videos? Or the constant switching from 3G to 1X after sending or receiving a SMS, resulting in slapping the USB cable into the bottom twice as often as you should??

It was important to some of us. I have several threads on this. Obviously they got enough complaints to issue a fix.
Thanks.
OTA
Got this version as an OTA update last night. Hopefully what we heard about this being the update dropped on the 22nd was untrue; holding my breath for 2.1!
Just got the OTA as well. Forgot to grab a google link before i installed it though
Still don't see the new update on phone, even under the update section.
Not so long ago, when I connected to wifi, I got a message saying new firmware update.
It was around 40mb and it said it was an update for the camera.
I then downloaded and installed the frame rate.
I did not try pictures yet but tried some videos and I can comfortably say there is a good improvement!!!
I even tried the video camera in low light, even at 720p and there was NO FPS drop and it seemed a lot smoother than before and the colours were much better, it was not jerky but more smooth...
I would say there is a 20-30% performance increase at the minimum...
Did anyone else get this update? It was only some time last month this update appeared for me so I was wondering if anyone else got it since it has not yeat appeared in xda developers...
I have a normal HTC Desire HD, unlocked and this update came to me when I was on holiday in Egypt of all places!!
If I got this update surely others must have got the same.
Looking forward in hearing what other people have to say about the new update.
this is actually quite old.
generally, people say that camera is really a bit better now, but now we have some new problems like location getting stuck and random SMSs.
not yet in asia,zzzz
Probably fine for unrooted devices.

errrrr.....
Yeh, that is unrooted devices having the issues. Hence HTC have pulled the most recent update. But hey not everyone knows about these issues if they haven't suffered the wrath of the 172.
So thats cool...

Can unrooted users not download it somewhere online and then just copy the update to their sd card and update that way?
I think there are ways and means, but I would wait for the official OTA update, as like i say HTC pulled it for a good reason. The notification issue was no the only one. There are threads about that. It affects all users as far as i can tell. I actually had to install a third party messenger (chomp) app to get full usage back to my phone.

Hmm, I hope the update hasn't affected my phone in anyway. The only strange thing it has been doing lately was giving me trouble connecting to wifi, does not want to obtain an ip address...
Apart from this I have not noticed any other problems...

Lol, you said that's ONE of the problems, meaning there are more!!!
Not long after updating the camera firmware, my wifi has been working like ****...
It works when it wants to, reception is poor and it does not like obtaining ip addresses anymore, even from my own home wifi network!!!
Anything I can do becides a flash/factory reset as I cannot be bothered to reinstall and setup everything unless I REALLY HAVE TO!!

Yesterday my tablet offered to update, but it failed the update - tried twice. The only thing I've done is root the tablet, I haven't uninstalled any default apps or anything.
I figured no big deal I'd try at work from my development machine today where I could unroot it and check adb logs and such.
Today I check for updates and I get "Your device is up to date" but I'm still on 3.0.1.
--- UPDATE ---
Checked the devel forum and found that this appears to be the case - they pulled the update and promise a new build tomorrow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158359
hmmm, I wonder if it's anything to do with getting kicked out of the browser on a regular basis since I installed 3.1. And maybe the laggy keyboard?
so.. what'll happen if you successfully updated and aren't having any problems?
Seems like nothing if you already have 3.1 installed successfully... My tablet is still on 3.1 with no issues there.
I got a message to update to 3.1 today and have tried 3 times to apply the update, failed each time. I have unrooted, factory reset, and still failed. I am hoping that it is on ACER's end and not something in my tab.
My tablet is back to stock and still only gets 1/4 of the way through the application of the update before getting the orange ! in a triangle.
I spoke to ACER yesterday. They said there is a known problem with the 3.1 update and they should be releasing a new one soon. I asked how soon, but got no response. Once I got the update notification today, I thought maybe it was the new one?? Guess not.
Model: A500
Version: 3.0.1
Kernal: 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b
Build: 1.104.02_COM_GEN1
EDIT: I am in ATL and bought my tablet from BestBuy in Kennesaw GA opening weekend.
Any advice?
I lost my opportunity to install 4.010.08. Two days ago I got the notice of an update. I tried to hold off as I wanted to see if I could capture the update and share it with others. After I got off work the next day and with some alogcat info I tried to check for updates and it was gone. Now I'm stuck on 3. 01 still. Hopefully they push out the update again as this time ill be ready.
Sent from my SO-01B using XDA App
I, also, am having no operating system issues with 3.1. Overdrive Media Console has gone flakey with respect to audiobooks, but I was blaming that on OMC, not 3.1. I was very surprised to learn that Acer pulled the update. This begs the question, of course, what will happen with regard to the new update for those of us who successfully updated to 3.1? I had no problems and I had a rooted tablet, but had not made any other modifications.

Is there a source other than what someone on XDA has "said"?
People lie. I'm not saying the original user lied but I've already seen a few posts linking to that one claiming along the lines, that 'Acer has said they pulled the update' when there is absolutely no official source.
The update has worked and is working for many of us. A friend of mine also got an update yesterday, which doesn't fall in line with the update being 'pulled' by Acer.
As you can see, many of us are getting different builds. What I SUSPECT is the case, is people are rooting and changing their build.props and it's confusing the update procedure on some units. People who don't know the ups and downs of rooting have done just that. They've switched files and components, wpa supplicant files etc. and noone knows the exact process that the device/software users to grab an update. This is just complete speculation on my part, I updated fine and so did a friend of mine that owns it. I did not root, he did not root. We both got the same build of 3.1 and he got his weeks after I got mine.
The point of my message is this, post rumor or something in the title so people don't just read your message and run with it. Because down the line, people are going to quote your thread as well and then lots of people will think "Acer pulled the update!, what's wrong with the one it put out originally!?" and that isn't necessarily the actual case.

It does explain how I was able to get the update days ago, but now cannot.
Quick question: If the "No update Your device is up to date" window somehow managed to appear thousands of times in a relatively short period of time, is it possible that it will permanently burn itself into my display? Thanks for your help. (lol)

It absolutely does not. This happens on phones as well. If your device is showing an update and you decide to factory reset or even reboot before you download the update, there is a possibility that you're moved down a bit in the server queue.
It's very rare that it happen on a reboot, but it is def. possible if you do a factory reset. Any number of things can explain a stalled update, it doesn't at all mean Acer pulled it.
I'm still waiting for an official source...nothing so far on Acer's FB or anything like that. If anyone could provide one, that'd be great.
I just bought my new A500 yesterday. It is not rooted. When I connected to my home network for the first time, I received a message telling me that an update was available. I assumed it was the 3.1 that everyone was talking about. It downloaded and installed with nary a hitch. I got confirmation of successful update. After the update, I realized that I was having some of the same issues that others were talking about, namely a dodgy keyboard and the inability to activate CAPS Lock. It is then that I discovered that I had NOT received the 3.1 upgrade, but rather, something below. Here is what I found when I looked at Settings > About device.
Android Version: 3.0.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3
Build Number: ACER_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1
Whatever version this is, it too is not quite ready for prime time. I hope they release a reliable update soon!
That is the Build that I had to be at before I was moved to Build Number ACER_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2 and VER 3.1.
Good luck with your new A500 hope you like it as much as I like mine.
ok, i just got off the phone with a senior acer tech, yes and actual technician not from india. So this should put your mind at ease. Acer sold more units then they expected and it resulted in google not having enough server to service all of the android devices. So for example acer put out 4 million units but there is only 3.7 million on the google registery as of yet. all the people including my self that have 2 units and one updated and on didn't will have to wait a little. PS the 3.1 update is loaded with bugs as well. Don't think it's the holy grail.
problems with 3.1 are less then 3.0.1 but they are there like random closes, slow downs even though it's doing nothing, late coming out of sleep and wifi issues and still no support for external hard drive, and most keyboards don't work.
all in all if you don't have it yet it's coming, if you do well wish and hope for 3.2 update soon like me

You're kidding - and after I got right royally slapped for saying exactly the same thing a month ago.
Just proves this place is chock full of fanbois.. (them, not you)
lolz @ mnaderi. my experience has been completely opposite. i've been on 3.1 for about a week now and it's waaaaay better than 3.0.1. the browser is much smoother and rarely ever force closes. hooked up my keyboard and mouse, no issues at all. hdmi out to my 1080p tv. everything is working great. i will admit it does have a few bugs here and there but compared to 3.0.1 it is a very nice improvement. i've had far less issues. i'm even using the stock launcher because i can resize the widgets now. was using launcher pro previously. all in all, a great update. still waiting for my mom's iconia to say its ready to be updated to 3.1. got the 1.141 update last night.
btw, i've never rooted my iconia. these things are too new, it's not worth rooting right now because the development is so weak. i'll give it another 6 months when we start seeing some really nice custom ROM's from some of the amazing developers on xda.

Hi Guys.
Just checked my phone this morning for any updates and low and behold, the 2.3.3 update!
I'm on an unbranded DZ in the UK, so at least it's finally come through!

All I've noticed so far is:
- Menu screen for the apps has changed (also includes a "frequent" tab for your most used apps)
- Red line for spelling mistakes when doing a message
- General tweaks and updating of certain functions
- For me at least, a little bit faster
That's what I've noticed so far, although I haven't properly played with it yet
Upgrading now, always get nervous when doing this!
Same here. Updating my UK unbranded Desire Z in Spain!
picasa web albums sync is doing "force close" frequently after the update. i don't notice much speed/performance change, if any. lets see whether there are any more pleasant or unpleasant changes.
anyway, happy that the update has come at last. its been a long wait, specially amongst the germans around me who already had the update for weeks
After a morning of playing around with adb trying to root and failed so many times...i can confirm im downloading the 2.3.3 GB update for the UK unbranded desire z...im gonna have to do with stock for now..till they find easier holes in this..lol..

Yup, shows up for me too, also unbranded (orange sim) Desire Z.
I haven't done it yet, waiting to see if phone is still unlockable afterwards, but I did grab the URL from the logs and shared it in another thread if anyone wants to actually OTA zip file to play with.

What was all the hype about? Juts updated mine and apart from a few visual chnages, there isnt much to the update! maybe its a little bit snappier but there is almost no improvement from Froyo. So what was the big deal all the cry babies were crying for?
has anyone managed to play around and root the phone??

helped, thanks. i had just stopped the sync to get rid of the annoyances, but uninstalling will not tempt me to use it again. in fact, dont think i need it that much, so i will install when i really need it.
otherwise i am waiting to find out if the 2 major bugs have been fixed:
phone going off once in a while and only turning back on again when battery is removed and reinserted
text messages completely disappearing every now and then

You can get the old firmware from before the update from https://SamMobile.com and flash it with Odin. But you may have to unlock your bootloader first since your downgrading
