First A500 3.2 but no 3.2.1

Hi this is my first A500 tab had it a couple months now came with stock 3.2 question is ive seen people saying the latest fw is 3.2.1 should this be for all A500 tabs or is there only a select thew ive tried updating it but allways saying no update avalible device is up to date and tried again all this week with the ICS supposed to be avalible but getting the same message and plus my market has not updated to the PLAY STORE so is there something wrong with the tab does anybody no thanks in advance

Anybody somebody must no ?

I've had mine about a year and its gone thru all the OTA updates with no problem. Have you registered your tab with Acer?? Do you have your Google account registered? I've had mine rooted a couple of times as well, is yours bare bones?

Contact Acer - they'll be able to see what the deal is with your serial number.

Lol anno ye just wanted to see if anybody was still watching the thread updated the update tool nearly amonth back when it came out and also uninstalled and reinstalled still on 3.2 and says device is uptodate so it cannot see the 3.2.1 update so i doubt i will see the ICS update

I'm certainly not a developer, but I can tell that's what Acer has to update the program recommends ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement, which is responsible for finding the firmware update (firmware) that runs Android 4.0.3 and install it. For installation, you must follow to Google Play and install or upgrade the application. Acer company claims that after installing the application will detect your tablet once a new firmware and it will download and then install.
Why do not some of the plates are updated using standard tools, the company does not comment on the Acer.
Video, to understand what to do.

Shifty's shot at root on LP

hey guys shifty here w a lil bit of an update i got root sort of going a couple of nights ago it was only temporary (sadly) otherwise id have screen shots for you my devs that are helpin me are taking a closer look as for if it will work for you i have no idea if your on SU3TL-38 (OTA NOT ROOTED PREIMG) id suggest going here http://motofirmware.center/files/category/23-droid-turbo/
then find the SU3TL-39 update and side load it if you do not know what side loading is ill explain it if you already know then skip this ok so after downloading the VRZ_XT1254_SU3TL-39_39_CFC.xml.zip (yes thats actually the name of it as i have the file) you plug your phone in via USB now you will take this zip and move into a file location i usually made it simple like DICM or something then boot your turbo into recovery power + vol down to get into the bootloader use volume buttons till you see recovery select that now youll see a dead andy and text that says no command i usually got passed that by pressing vol down then power for a few seconds then click apply update from SD then go to your folder w the .zip then update simple as that...
Now shifty why update to SU3TL-39? well thats the firmware im working on my turbo never had SU3TL-38 and i cant downgrade so i cant give you my word it would work and if your on SU4TL-44 it will not work i can give you my word on this so like i said temp root was successful i will not release root until i get perma root thanks for the support guys i know theres tuts for side loading but i thought id add it just incase someone whos lower than SU4TL-44 and not n my firmware can get there for root now everyone should know how to check there build number if you dont i dont think you should be rooting xD but yes shifty is on this guys i might work on SU4TL-44 later on so DONT WORRY updated users thats all for now

Cool man. You'll make a lot of people happy with this. Just news someone else is working on it is good news.

Yea man just people to will work on it but all that matters is root on the device I just hope I can get my exploit out and that people try it and give me feedback

haha besides my ****ty punctuation (what didn't seem to important) @golgothagecko i wasn't on my droid so yeah it's the internet bro get used to it
but @Qutayba Khader no you cannot root 5.1 LP at this time but i am working on a root method for the build number SU3TL-39 because that is my current build number i was telling anyone on SU3TL-38 stock OTA (no pre-rooted img) to go side load SU3TL-39 if you OTA update youll end up going to SU4TL-44 then i wont be able to help you what i meant by non-rooted is back on 4.4.4 kitkat people used moforoot and thats no longer usable on LP people who used mofo are now using pre-rooted imgs of LP all that means is there using a custom version of the OTA for root users basically no use to us with out root so go check your build number via settings > about phone then youll know what build your on if you need help let me know ill be glad to help

if you SU4TL-44 update you will have to wait till i am done with SU3TL-39 (if i get to 44) im thinking of trying to find a similarity in exploits between the 39 and 44 so i can roll out a simple rooting apk for both more on that later if i can find a similar exploit because the new update SU4TL-44 is a security update i will keep you updated

as for release date i am unsure at this time but i will make an announcement when im close my devs and i are working hard to make it very simple (so even people who dont root can be easy about it) in other words im going to make it as simple as ping-pong root etc so just install apk then press a button and i will clearly list out the permissions and what its doing so no one has a meltdown like people did when kingoroot came out

Just got my G935T

Hey fellas,
My note 4 finally died on me so I decided to get the s7 edge and stay with the android fellers. I did have some questions though-
I got notified yesterday of a 164mb update. I'm trying to ignore it because I think whenever root is obtained it should be for older firmwares right? I'm on G935TUVU2APC8 and I don't want to upgrade and get shafted.
My second question is where are the update files stored and is it possible to delete them or disable the update so I can get rid of this annoying screen that pops up every now and again?
And I know I shouldn't ask but does anybody have a progress report for root on this phone? For previous phones I saw a donation page for root, this one I have yet to see it...

OTA System Update notice...for April?

I got the popup for a System Update pending. I'm on BRA1 now.
Any reason not to take it?
Where can see the Patch Notes (Never have been to find them easily. The Samsung 'official' would be fine, but is there some fan site that digs digger for techies who want to get past marketing speak and bullet points?
Thanks

Nope don't take it...best thing to do is to wait until you find out whether or not you can Odin back to old firmware...if you one of those who like to mod I would seriously wait until you find out more about it...nothing good ever comes from those who jump the gun...he'll were lucky enough to have root and modifications despite our locked bootloader.

I just tried to root with it, but got stuck in a bootloop. I'm not sure if it's the update, but I'm not new to rooting and know my way around. Fairly certain I didn't screw anything up in the process.

Can anyone please upload the latest (2018) firmware for g930a or g930u to Google drive or mega.nz? Iam pleading lol. I can't download from android host, I have already lost about 2 GB bandwidth as it keeps on stopping and I am on a 4GB internet cap.

Koodo / Telus updates...

Does anybody know if there is anything special with the koodo / telus builds? Even though the June update has been out for a week and a half it is still MIA in Koodoland. I know I can download the OTA and sideload it, it's what I've done the past few times, but the last time I decided to not root the phone again because I didn't feel like going through the trouble again and wanted to start installing OTAs. If there is nothing special with the koodo / telus builds I might just go ahead and do that again... but then why is it taking so long?

You don't need to root to flash an ota. Flash it in stock recovery, get the ota file from essential website.
Or are you just saying that sideloading itself is a hassle? I don't find it takes very long and is pretty straightforward. You'll probably get more answers if you post this in Q&A as well since that's what that section is for.

Yeah, I meant more the hassle part. I wanted to try it like the normal folks do.
And thanks for the suggestion, I wonder if a mod could move it... or else I'll repost it there in a little bit.

Np! For the record mine would fail even when I wasn't rooted and I ended up having to sideload anyway. Not sure why!

Got mine from Amazon.ca, unlocked. Bootloader says VARIANT: OPENAM
I'm on Koodo's network and the June update's still not here. Ended up sideloading instead. Don't know what's up with that.
