i just got a TF about 3 hours ago. It shows to be on Honeycomb 3.0.1 I know this a noob question but isn't the latest 3.1 I guess the 1 in 3.0.1 has me confused I am most appreciative of any and all help
Do a system update in settings or download the update from here. I would just root it and install Prime 1.5
I was in the same boat yesterday. The "System update" for some reason never fond an update so I had to download the update from this forum and install it via SD card.
Yes, the latest one is 3.1, so you should update from 3.0.1 to 3.1. If you don't get an OTA message saying and update is available try to find them manually or download and flash the update.
Regards.

I tried to root my asus. I used Primodial way to root and consequently I downgraded to older vesion than 3.1 then when it was time to upgrade to Primodial 3.1 I found there is no TW version available. Now I m stuck in older vesion and no way to upgrade to 3.1. I even downloaded official 8.2.3.9 version to updrade but it failed while update. Any idea how I can do it?

Check the Asus website. The US and WW 3.1 versions are now available. I couldn't navigate the Taiwan version of the site to see if the TW version was there though
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
you didnt get my point. I downloaded official 8.2.3.9 from asus website and tried to use it to change back to unrooted version because when you root your transformer automatic update is disabled for the way Primodial suggests to root. I tried to return to unrooted official 8.2.3.9 but i received error while trying to do it through zip file in sd.

I unrooted my tablet and brought it back to completely stock to attempt to get the 3.1 OTA update, and it has been 2 days now with nothing. I was going to try to update via the OTA Full update package thread but I can't figure out which build to use, because mine isn't listed. It's Acer_A500_1.104.38_COM_GEN1. I just want to get the official 3.1 update, that way when the official 3.2 update rolls out I can get it no problem, then maybe I'll root again. Anyone have any ideas?
I purchased my tablet from US and I live in india. Only one time i was able to update when i run it first time, after than never got any message for update of Android Version.
When i go to Settings>About Tablet and click on System Update and check for new version it's gives me message "Your device is up to date" and when i see the version details than these are
Model Number : A500
Android Version : 3.0.1
Kernel Version : 2.6.36-00017-gc98d63f
Build Number : Acer_A500_1.016.01_COM_GEN1
Update is not available for india yet or where i am wrong please help.
Not sure if your locale has anything to do with getting updates. That's typically an issue with 3G providers, but as long as your tablet is an A500 (wifi only version) it should find the OTA updates no problem, that it unless you are running a custom ROM. Either way, you can manually update your tablet. All the information you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
If you currently have a custom ROM or rooted your stock ROM, you will lose root by updating to a newer stock ROM, and the only way to recover root is by reverting back to Android 3.0. There are several custom ROM's based on 3.2 which already have root, if you also choose to go that route. If you have no idea what I mean when I mention root, just don't worry about it and carry on with that link I posted
Thanks Bloodflame, Yes i read that it can not be rooted and thank you for the link to get it update manually but i don't understand why i am not able to get updates.
And whether it is good to update with 3.0.2 ? Please suggest.

can't explain why you're unable to OTA update, but the security and performance improvements along with new features (ie, native mouse support) should make a manual 3.2 update worthwhile
Ok Thanks, I will update to 3.2 and let me see what magic it does.
Hi to all,
i've buy this tablet used from a collegue of my friend.
He give it to me with a modify rom with 3.1 firmware (if i don't wrong, tha name of the rom are "Picasso-ROM" but i'm not sure about it).
I wanna restore the original firmware on it to take the last firmware 3.2.1 (Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1) but I can not seem to update to that version of the tablet !
At the moment with the EUUs_SBK_Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 i was able to restore the original Acer recovery (lost with old custom rom) and with OTA now i've the follow update : "A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN1" but the version of Android still 3.2 !
I would not like that when ICS comes out I will not be able to update !
How can i force it ? There is a link where i can download the OTA update ?
Thanks for your support !!
There is no way to force OTA unfortunately - if you've managed to receive the OTA 3.2 then there should be no reason you shouldn't receive 3.2.1 just give it a few days more, some here have had to wait 2-3 weeks for it so I wouldn't panic just yet
Hi,
Did you receive the 3.2.1 yet? I had the same problem yesterday...
tks.

I recently reverted from the leaked ICS 4.0.3 using ATX to flash back to stock 3.0.1. Once I did that, I tried to OTA update to 3.2, without success. So I downloaded the 3.2 update from Vache's thread, renamed it update.zip and threw it on my sdcard. Rebooted into stock recovery and updated. Once I did that, I went into settings and checked for OTA update, and it worked. So I had the same problem with OTA updates, but running 3.0.1. Perhaps downloading the 3.2.1 update will allow you to get OTA updates in the future (it should).
If you want to make sure, try downgrading to 3.0.1, then downloading the 3.2 update from Vache's thread. Then doing OTA update from your tablet and it should work. Hope that at least gives you some inspiration to try some things!
The above post is a viable way..
But also if i remember right.. You can Take any full complete rom pushed by acer.Flash it with the stock recovery.. With the catch the update rom version has to be region matched and a NEWER ROM VERSION.
Hope this makes sense. Its the procedure i have used in the past to test out a OTA.
People are doing this same thing to get the ICS LEAK. FULL ROM. acer will let you move forword as each full push from them added fixes for previous root ability and so on..
That brings me back to thinking ACER Leaked this ics rom just to see how easly it can be broken.
i want to upgrade my andriod version from 3.0.1 to 3.2 or 3.2.1
build number is acer a500 1.016.05_com_gen1
i can't get it viia normal update so if anyone can help me by link that can upgrade it i will be grateful
Hi,
I have a German A501 that got the ICS update in August 2012. Since then I had rooted it, but wanted to return to stock unrooted ICS in order to be able to run the Excitor DME app.
The unroot process failed, and I went through a series of unsuccessful SD card updates.
I ended up using the EUUs to get the tablet back to Honeycomb 3.01, and then updated via SD-card to 3.2.1 but I seem to be stuck there.
I have installed the Acer Update app, but there is no update available for my Tab. Is Acer still distributing the upgrade OTA?
What other route could I take back to a stock, unrooted ICS?

Alternatively, could one of the German users point me to a ROM that has allowed them recently to upgrade to stock unrooted ICS OTA?
Thanks
