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.

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
Is it safe for me to do this? I'm running 2.2.1 rooted on Telus, and I'm completely happy with my phone and how it runs. What will happen if I update?
Can I stop the update message from coming up?
"Update(0.37.23.en.CA) has been downloaded and is ready to install"
The only choices I get are Install Now or Install Later.
It will blow up.
you will get HSUPA (more details about the update can be found via search or on the moto site)
minor update that came out months ago. I say go for it.
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?
This may be a known issue but my wife's (non-rooted, completely stock) A500 has been getting a 4.0 OTA notification since yesterday. It says it's invalid, after downloading it, so I ASSUME it's not actually for this device but is that the case? If it is for the A500, do I need to do a factory reset to get it to update?
Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
What version is it running currently? 7.014.02
I have not seen anything since the 7.014.01/02 releases a few days back.
It would be nice to see Acer taking the lead on releases but I will believe it when it happens. The. 02 release did have a new to me update screen when it installed....

I think I know what one of the issues is- This must have been some really old stock (bestbuy.com) because it's running 3.0.1 and the kernal version is 26.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b. Is it possible that it's somehow "skipping" the OTA updates in the correct order (or maybe they aren't available OTA anymore?) and thus giving me the "invalid" message?
yep would not surprise me at all... you should be able to download from a thread in the rom area a thread by vache has links to almost all of them.
You should probably change the thread title if you can.

There have been others with similar issues.Seems like acer did not and is not pushing the updates to some devices.
I would first call acer if you. Not likely to help but would atleast let them know they have issue.
For a right now fix.
Get iconiaroot. Root tablet.
Get acer recovery installer. Install custom recovery.
Look on forums for a stock 3.1 or 3.2 rom.
You can get a ore rooted rom if you wish but would kill all updates in future.
There are lots of information in the dev forums on step by step instructions and downloads.
Be careful fallow instructions.
Good luck.
The 4.0.xxxx update, is an update for UI. It should come in 2 notifications for stock tablets.
The first, is a preparatory update. The second, is the actual update.
Note, if you have a rooted tab, as some people can tell, it is not advisable to take any OTA update from acer.
In the forum, if you want to take the update, there is a thread which has rooted versions of these updates.
hi, my brother and me, we ve got two acer iconia a500 with 32gb.
my brother rootet his iconia 1 month ago and installed an ics rom.
now i bought my rom with normal firmware and no root.
i updated it to 4.0.3.
now my brother wants the official firmware on his iconia back.
is there a release of the ofw or is it possible to make a backup of mine
and he flash this rom to his iconia (so its nearly the same)
im looking forward for a positiv answer
Hi there,
Best bet would be for your brother to revert back to stock honeycomb and then allow the OTA updates to update him to the official ICS. There are many guides here on XDA on how to do that. That is likely the safest bet based on what bootloader he might be running etc.
can you please give me a link for a guide to getbstock rom back. hard to find something, aspecially when you are german
I went back to stock 3.0.1 and did updates up to 3.2.1 then i install Iconia tab update from the playstore when i got upto 3.2.1 then checked for updates again and it pushed ICS to my tab hear is the link method one worked for me method two did not let me update i kept getting the your device is upto date message. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
Method two would be the best if you are not able to get your cpuid did not work for me but might do for you good luck need anymore help post back hear.
