[Q] OTA Updates in Canada - Acer Iconia A500

Has anyone else in Canada been receiving updates for the iconia? I've had 1 since purchase on 14th May but no sign yet of the latest one.

Go to Settings > About tablet and see what your 'Build number' is. If it's 1.141.07 then you're up to date with the latest software. Check out this thread to see if anyone else with your build number has received an update. Some of us have been waiting since release for any update at all, myself included. =/

I had received the initial update to 1.139.05 but nothing about the 1.141 at all

LG UK Eclair (2.1) available now 15/12/2010

The official LG UK website says now Eclair 2.1 is there now http://wwwstg.lg.com/uk/android/index.jsp
However if I connect my phone it says no update available. Any one else got any luck?
The website is talking about Android 2.1 update. It is not Froyo. It is Ecalir. Your phone might be alreay running on Ecalir. That is why it is saying no update available.
It's Android Eclair (2.1), not froyo (2.2)..
The update has been removed because it was full of bugs and issues. We don't know when LG will publish a new update.
Sorry corrected the title but my phone is running 1.6 and 2.1 is now available according to the website. I know it was withdrawn but this morning it changed to available again.
website is static and still informing that update is available since end of November. The upgrade application is telling you that no upgrade are available because it has been suspended. The upgrade application is the only one able to decide if upgrade is available or not.
The website said yesterday that it was temporary unavailable and changed to available this morning. If I go into the upgrade software It says that V20b is available for United Kingdom (customer support menu click supporting model) . I have V10B. It is there alright.
It just does not want to install might have something to do with that I am currently not in UK even though all setting are for UK in my phone.
Try again. I just updated my gal's phone yesterday night.

[Q] System update?

Yesterday I got a popup message stating that there is a system update available. Version 1.126.03. If I remember correct. I clicked the download. Now it wants to be installed. Is this a honeycomb update or a acer?
I am scared. My acer is rooted, could it be harmed?
Anyone else got this? Maybe i have a older iconia a500 than you. I got mine from singapore.
Must be an EU update. I haven't seen anything yet.
Nothing here yet either.
Nothing here in us winder what it a dresses

I don't know where to look. It was 20mb big. Is there some search app in market that can search on size?
No update available here in Greece yet.
No update here in Italy... waiting for some news about it...
no update found in netherlands. 'Your device is up to date'
No updates in france
Nothing here in the US unless it happened automatically.
I also got message on screen about new update yesterday when I powered on my tab. I went ahead with the update, but have not noticed any significant differences after the update. My iconia was bought from Taiwan, but now used in Finland. It's not rooted though..
Under settings/About tablet there are now the following versions:
Android version 3.0.1
Kernel version 2.6.36.3
Build number Acer_A500_1.126.03_COM_GEN1
Not sure what those versions were before I applied the update..
If only 20mb, must be some patches.
call acer
if you are not sure call/go to there site and see if they have any updates listed
no update on acer us site.
With Jake's data I can at least confirm that his builds and versions after he applied the update are different from mine.
I got my A500 a couple of days ago here at Best Buy in Boston, MA. I am not getting any notification of any System update, but my data is as follows:
Android Version: 3.0.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b
Build Number: Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1
So, Jake's build number after the update is higher at least.

Doc Kinne
Somerville, MA
Nexus 1 running 2.3.3
Iconia A500 running 3.0.1
bought mine in Dallas on Sunday, same version numbers as kinnerc
well.. i desided to install the update that i downloaded. Got a message that its invalid and canceld. Now i cant update anymore. Its up to date it says.
Strange.!!!
Maybe certain geographically located servers released a build too soon? Who knows.

US Update - Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2

So according to the file here - http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A500&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_7
B. Country: USA
- Supported OS version: Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1
- Upgrade to OS version: Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2
Usa should have "Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2"
However is ANYONE getting that update? I manually ran "Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1" but obviously that does not appear to be the right one for the US model, thats for UK/France/Italy/Spain.
If anyone has Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2 update.zip please post it.
Thats the build number I have. It came OTA back on the 6th, update to 3.1. I think that if you search the forums, the update .zip had been posted, I just can't for the life of me remember where.
got 4.010.08 ota a few days ago, then 4.010.09 two days ago, and now I am on 4.010.10.
same for me!

How are you guys getting builds above .08? Are you and your device in the US. I'm in dire need of an update but still on this original one releases last week. 08
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
are we ever getting the update here in the Mid-West?
Well I am really starting to wonder then, I have never gotten ANY update.
I restored back to stock 1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and recovery, no update.
I updated manually with update.zip for 1.141.07_COM_GEN1, and back to stock recovery, no update.
I have tried from different networks and internet connections just in case something was blocked. I am in Florida BTW.
It NEVER sees and update. Any suggestions anyone?
be patient, i believe the US rollout might be slow due to updates???
No i havent gotten mine either.....
Bump.
So no one has received "Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2"?
I've tried going back to stock images:
1.104.02_COM_GEN1 - No updates
1.141.07_COM_GEN1 - No updates
4.010.01_COM_GEN2 - No updates
4.010.04_COM_GEN1 - No updates
So to sum that up, I've never seen an OTA on any build... any thoughts guys?

Just got this Iconia at Costco July 3.
I registered it at startup. Never received an unsolicited OTA update. But used setting/about tablet/System update.
Got the original .08 3.1 about 7/5 or so, never wrote it down
Acer Iconia Bought 7-3-11
Acer_A500_4.010.09_COM_GEN2 on 7-11-11
Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2 on 7-13-11
Running 1st OTA leak of 4.010.04_com_gen1 that was rooted and loaded via CWM, and managed to get 4.010.10 via OTA last night while I'm out in Boston. Connection was through hotel's Comcast wifi network if that may help map out the roll-out.
Of course it didn't work as I don't have the stock bootloader and it fails when you try. It's a small update of something like 80mb or so. Obviously from a few posts here, someone's thought that the last .10 number refers to region is not correct and it is the standard version format that we all know. (major.minor.patch) At least for 3.1 at any rate.

Any chance you have the update.zip file for 4.010.10? If so I can provide you a site to upload it to.
I just received my 2nd Honeycomb 3.1 update last night

Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1 is the highest one I have seen now... it almost seems as though the last 2 digits are random at this point. I can't see acer putting out a build per day.
What does your buiild.prop show in /system/build.prop

.40 is an update for the international Eurasia versions of the tablet. ie: Thailand, Aussie, India, Swiss.
.38 seems to be an update for the European versions of the tablet ie: France, UK, Spain.
To clarify, .22 (Euro - UK, France, Spain, etc.) ROMS should update to .38 and .24 (Eura - Swiss, India, Thailand, Aussie) ROMS should update to .40
I haven't seen a US update yet. I myself got .08. I'm completely stock, not even rooted, never have and mine came on the 6th.
Someone in here reported being updated to .10, that MAY be ours.

I've looked around for 4.010.04_COM_GEN1 and can't find it, do you have a link where you downloaded it?
TIA

Anyone in Canada got the OTA update (OTA, not the download)?

If you did get it where are you and which gen?
Gave up waiting so downloaded and installed the OTA that is posted here - install went perfectly and everything works.
Nothing yet. Keep getting wifi network failure error as noted on the acertabletforum.com forum. Hoping acer will fix this. I'd like to see the tablet work as intended. If I have to force the updates again like I did for 3.2 ill be pissed .

Yeah, it's tempting but I'll wait for a while. So far 21 views for this thread and no one's said "I got the OTA." It looks like it's not rolling out here yet.
Nada for Alberta...
I've been hitting "System update" every hour on the hour since midday Thursday. Nothing where I am in Alberta. I've seen some conflicting messaging on when Canada will be getting the OTA. The Acer site says 04-27, I've seen elsewhere 05-03.
I'm itching to get on with it. Downloading the posted update.zip on XDA now. Still haven't decided if I am going to use it.
And to keep the focus on the OP, if anyone has received the OTA please share the GEN. I'm assuming it's the same one posted, but ya never know.
Got it on wifes tab yesterday here in BC. GEN_1
Had to get update to Iconia Tab Update tool to see the upgrade.

I've had the same update utility installed for a month. It's brought no joy in Toronto.

Same here in Nova Scotia.
Things have changed
I have recently hit the update tab and I am no longer getting the wifi message... now back to "your up to date" ... with no ICS ... I think it will be here soon... or maybe I am just an optomist
This is very odd since I am in Halifax and got my OTA on the 27th. I had stock 3.2.1 rooted (had to remove root or the install failed).
Before build: Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2
After build: Acer_AV041_A500_1.0333.00_PA_CUS1
When you eventually get the upgrade, you get an offer to "install now" or "install later". Choose the "install later" option or when your root causes the install to fail you will have to re-download the 400mb file again.
BTW, this combination listed above has none of the bugs or issues listed in other OTA release upgrade threads.

Did anyone else see this.... about speeding up the upgrade...
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/29/acer-releases-ics-update-app/
My current build: Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1
I am wondering if because your's was 02_COM_GEN_2 that is why you got the update and I haven't? I am also in Nova Scotia.

Well, this evening I pulled the trigger on Update.zip with my stock unrooted rom. It went flawlessly and al my dozens of apps seem to be functional. It's much more zippy and responsive than HC. I'm impressed.
There using 1 server to distribute. So expect throttling for a bit. The US ones are still going strong, know several who are getting the updates fine.
Best they do this to avoid corrupted data in updates. Otherwise more peopel need to distribute the offcial regional builds.
DOn't want a HTC repeat of an issue where phones ended up bricked.
5 days of waiting. . . . . .
I also have a GEN1 A500 from Canada, specifically build Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1 and I got impatient waiting for the OTA update so I installed the Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 update from the bottom of the first post on this page. I had no problems at all completeling the update and everything seems to be working fine with ICS.
The Op is actually linking straight to Acer's official update server with the ICS links in that post. Remember that if you choose to download these official ROM's you'll need to decrypt the downloaded zip file with the tool mentioned at the top of the first post and follow the rest of the instructions in the How to use full/update package in that first post as well.
If you stick it out and wait for the OTA I am curious as to what build you finally end up with. My build after the update above is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1
Still nothing here in Toronto wow!!! Acer Fail!!!!
Acer Chat @ 4:55pm (Atlantic)
Acer: Hi, my name is ****** *********. How may I help you?
Me: Hi, I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and was wondering when the update to Ice Cream Sandwich would be available to me? I'm still unable to download it.
Acer: I understand that you are unable to get the ICS update on your tablet.
Acer: Let me see what best can be done for you.
Me: Thanks!
Acer: You are welcome, ******.
Acer: May I have the serial number?
Me: Where do I find that information?
Acer: Please click on the below link to get the serial number.
Acer: URL
Me: Oh, the SNID. I didn't realize they were the same thing since I included it in the information before I requested the chat. Sorry!

Acer: ******, this is to inform you that the update for the ICS is available and is being released in batches, we recommend you to keep the automatic update enabled through Apps > Settings > About Tablet > System Update > Check the box for “Automatically check for system updates”.

Me: Thank you! I will keep automatic update on. In the FAQ's, it mentions being rolled out over the period of a week. Should I receive it today at some point in that case?
Acer: You are welcome, ******.
Acer: You will get the update soon.
Me: Ok great, thank you very much!
Acer: We are unable to provide you the estimated time.
Acer: You are welcome.

Electronics aren't really my thing so I'm going to wait for the OTA download. But, I'm in the same position I was before I asked. It'll get here when it gets here, I guess.

Soon, still no OTA in Toronto.... tried checking for update using my New York vpn with no update again.
I love my A500, I don't know why Acer has to make it so difficult for their customers.......

Download the ota file and save into root folder of your SD card. Reboot your phone then check system update. If it still say system already up to date, reboot into recovery and use the apply update menu and point to the ota zip file
Can any body upload and send link of OTA update.
I have asked support centre. They have said to factory reset phone and then try to update. Did what they have said but could not update.
Same here with the same build no... And I can't seem to find the OTA.zip for this specific build....
