[Q] Build Confusion - Acer Iconia A500

I have a new Acer Iconica and the Build number ACER_A500_1.104.02_COM_Gen1. I have attempted to use the System Update several times, and contacted support (that was sadly a waste of my time) I can not seem to get any information on what is the current build. If I am not on the current Build please give me a link to the instructions to update my tablet.
Thanks
Tom

Have you registered with Acer? Once registered, you should get the update.

This is unfortunately NOT the case.
Registering your product (via the included app) does NOT ensure your device receives the updates.

New kies 1.5.3.10103.100

Is this the version that is supposed to be new?
I am downloading it now.
Do we have a list of changes? Is this the KIES that will give us FROYO ?
Whoever has answers, feel free.
Just wondering here, which part of the world are you in? I dont see the new kies yet. Canada.

Every time Samsung release a new version of Kies people start dreaming about the release of froyo…. If that were the case we would be running Android 5.7 already
Spoke with 3 mobile uk yesterday.Impression i got was Froyo will not be released any time soon because its buggy.

Yeah, i agree, LOL...
Probably preparing for froyo update
can you give a link on new kies. now i'm download but see that old kies.
This might be REALLY bad news.
The reg hack no longer works ! If you change it and then try update it retrieves the info again from the phone and so resets it to whatever is on the phone
This means anyone who updated to the latest 2.2 Kies release are stuck with whatever product code they have now if they only want to use KIES
they seem to have more time working on stupid kies instead of the long awaited froyo... Freaks

Do you honestly think that only ONE team of develloppers are working at samsung?
Bad news? Power User still will be able to flash using odin, wich is apparantly better than kies at this, it will also prevent all users to "overtake" their servers while it's supposed to be in one particular country.
This is exactly what i thought

I believe it came as an Auto-Update, which checked the versions when u opened up Kies.

did you look on the sdcard for an update.zip ?
Most likely it is on the /cache partition. More importantly, in your log will be the URL, search for ota.
I'm on Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7 - nothing here yet
No Update Here Either
A500 from Best Buy bought on May 3 - has FW: Acer_A500_1.104.02_Com_Gen 1

question..... why dont you ppl use the signature?
Ditto here in Texas from BB: 1.1104.02_com_gen1
No OTA yet even after forcing it to check.
Ken.
Today I received my Acer A500 in Germany, purchased from Amazon through preorder. It's the first Honeycomb to hit the german mass market.
I have Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7
The "E" sounds like it stands for "european" or "Europe" to me, however the only localization I can choose in Settings is "german", while on my other Android devices (HTC phones) the ROMs always contain multiple localizations (or even worldwide like *WWE* ones).
I hope this helps, just started digging through the device and going to root it soon.
If anyone needs any further info regarding this version, which seems to be newer than those being OTA'ed to US customers let me know.
FWIW, I have not yet had any random screen turn-ons so maybe they fixed that.
ugh I need this zip my acer is messed up since I tried that chinese update.zip!

Dear all,
there is nothing in "/chach" and on the SDCard.
I had a look into it with the "Rootexplorer" and commandline, nothing.
I also searched with "Rootexplorer" for "*.zip" but nothing that is coming from me.
Do they maybe use a "hidden" mount?
Where can i find the logs?
did u reboot?
cache may be cleared while rebooting

Hi,
yes i did reboot, but the system is still telling me that it want to perform the update and not that it want to downlaod something again.

[Q] Can't seem to get the update.. any reason why?

I'm currently on I337UCUAMDB.. trying to get the update first then root after. For some reason, every time I try to access software update, I get this message.
"Software Update Interrupted. No update is available for your device at this time. Please try again in 24 hours."
Any ideas? I've tried on a friend's phone and he also gets the same message. AT&T carrier.
U will have to go back to stock ROM through Odin..I had the same message had to deroot and return my phone to stock then up date through Kies ...hope that helps...

its stock.. i literally just took it out of the box. same with my friend, he got his yesterday.. and we both keep getting this error.. we've tried to push the date forward to try the update again, and each time, it is the same error message.
So my buddy pushed the date forward again, tried the update again, and this time it said "Software is up to date."
i am lost now.
Someone else posted that they had to have ATT push the update to them. I'm wondering if ATT is already pulling that update and preparing a patched one.

can you link me to that? did they just call customer service and ask for the update? from reading, I see that the update fixed a bit of the lag issues people had. I'd like to get that update first before rooting. thanks!

Can someone please confirm the build number for US LTE? Is it the same as the leaked update?

I would be very interested to know this as well.
I think it's very likely that the ota version is the same as the version leaked on their website. If at&t had rejected the update for some reason we probably would have been kept waiting longer than a week while nvidia resubmitted a new version.
Also, when I check for updates on the device it says I have the newest version. If the Rev had been bumped it probably would have prompted me to update.
Having said all that, I could be wrong ...

You get that if you are rooted, you cannot use OTA while rooted.

I got notified of OTA, I accidentaloly cleared all notifications, and now when I am manually trying to pull it, I am getting the same. Was reading and seems this is common on rooted devices.

Damn, they must have changed something. I'll download the OTA and attempt to flash it once I get a build number. If it works, I'll add it to the post in my sig.
I'm getting the same error and I am not rooted.
Then I have no clue. And there does not seem to be a 3.1 tablet update in the developer site right now either.

Thanks for this.
Unfortunately the standard OTA link layout doesn't seem to work for this, or any other OTA for that matter. Damn it NVidia. I'll check this again later on.
EDIT: So my device is reporting that I'm on the latest version (2.2.2) after an hour of getting the "error fetching OTA information" message. Seems I'm not the only one.
