Ok
I have spent about an hour searching the threads and am still not sure what to do.
I am running a 32gig unit with build number 4.010.02_com_gen1
I originally rooted then installed cwm. I upgraded with a ROM of the 3.1 upgrade (how I got to 4.010.02..)
I am now getting prompted for an update to 4.010.10 that is 47.69meg
Based on what I am reading, I will either be FINE or the update will fail because I am rooted.
Can anyone tell me the correct process to get up to date. I dont have an issue with loading a custom STOCK rom if there is one one there that will get me to 4.010.10 or even 4.010.13 (?)
Also this is a US version (or at least if was before my custom upgrade to 3.1)
Will I be able to roll back to a cw backup if this goes bad? If that is doable, I am not worried about doing the update and seeing what happens. The tab world seems just a little less safe than the rooted EVO world...or is it just that the thought of a bricked tab scares me more
Thanks for the help
Hey you guys,
So for the past while, I have been unable to successfully update my Xoom to 3.2. I've received the OTA 3 times now, and every time it fails about 1/3 of the way through installing.
I've included a couple pictures for reference.
I'm currently not rooted or running a custom ROM. I was able to update to the 3.1 OTA with no issues, so I'm a little confused as to why this one is failing.
If anyone can offer any help, or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

hello,
I just bought a acer a500 tab.
I can connect at mcdonalds.
However when I try it at home using my linksys wrt610n it wont connect.
My wifi shows up but wont connect. I am using the correct password and I even tried it open unsecured still wont connect.
I tried reset button several times even when it was connecting.
It has been suggested to change channels but dont that didnt help on the wrt610n router. I am beginning to think the acer a500 and my linksys wrt610n router are not compatible>? Do you think if I go somewhere that has wifi that I can connect to and let it update from 3.0 to 3.2 it will help>? I have not put anything on the new acer a500 tab yet so should I try to do a factory reset?
edit: upon more searching I see that some have used the linksys wrt610n router with the acer 500a tab with little or no problerms.
I am very confussed because it works at mcdonalds so not sure if the problem is with router or acer?
So should I try the factory restore or return it for a refund because bestbuy dont have the acer 500a tab in stock any longer??
I would appreciate any help please..
thankyou, Dan
Why don't you root it and bring it upto the current 3.2.1 software. Then install the wifi fix if updating to 3.2.1 didn't help. Running such an old and buggy version of the OS will cause problems like your experiencing.

I would but if I root it then wont that void the warranty and I wont be able to return it>? What if I just go somewhere where I can get a wifi connection and let it update on its own?
thanks for the reply cruise350 I really appreciate it alot.
If I take it to a place where I can get wifi to update it from hc3.0 will it update to hc 3.1 or hc 3.2? I understand that people also had a problem with wifi when they went to hc 3.1 . Also how long does the update take can I do it while at mcdonalds? lol
thanks.
there is alos a wifi patch on acers website for older version of android 3.1 3.01 i think.. This was common that it would not connect properly with some routers.. older models mostly..
so upgrading to the rooted 3.2.1 will also likely fix this..

thankyou very much that is what I wanted to know that updating it would probably fix it.
I am new to this as this is my 1st tablet.
so what would be the best way to update it to 3.2?
should I find a wifi that connects and then let it update on its own and how long would that take approx?
Also will it update from 3.0 to 3.2?
thanks alot for the reply. erica-renee.
the full ccan be fairly large the patch is for wifi issues on older version . then you can run the update..
if you intend on rooting it in the future dont take the 3.2 update until you are sure... due to a boot loader change that makes it harder to root..
to install that patch from your usb drive .. you can use the app documents to go that is on your tab to browser to external storage and find the file.. because there is no fille mananger on the tablet by defalt..

I checked the patch and it is for 3.1 hc mine is at 3.0 so I would need to update it to 3.1 before I apply the patch. I am going to go over to my brothers house today he has wifi also maybe it will work over there and I am going to just update to 3.1 or 3.2 which ever it updates to. I will let you know how it turns out thanks alot everyone.
Good Luck i would almost sugest you read the threads about updating to a stock rooted rom...
you would have to do the fallowing
install iconia root and run it..
install acer recovery installer from market use it to install custom recovery
download a rom .. recomend the honeylicious rom.. from dev forum.
boot into recovery
wipe menue fallow instructions from rom post
format
flash
done..
this is all layed out clearly in the rom post in dev forums.. sorry i did not get back with you sooner on this option.. its much better then ota 3.2 update unless you will never want root.. if so there is a way to do that.. as well just more work..
I have a rooted NC ver. 1.1.0
What's the easiest way to get up-to-date with the latest root? I see when starting my research to do this I've not received any of the B&N's OTA updates since I rooted about a year ago (I turned off OTA updates after my initial root).
Thanks
You might need to flash the new stock fw. (1.4.2 is the latest, I believe) then reroot with ManualNooter 5.0.2.xx
Was wondering if anyone has seen the update come thru if they installed one of the ICS Leaks - I rooted mine via blackthund3r's method and it works great but I wanted to compare to official version.
