3.2 update rolling?

I've been getting the 14MB update prompt for a couple weeks.. I keep saying no since I'm rooted.
Tonight I'm get the 14MB update prompt and another system update prompt that doesn't have any details with it..
My guess is that 3.2 is rolling out.
Anyone else getting it?

nope.
3.2 update should be 300Mb+, not 14Mb.

He said it was aside from the 14MB update, but had no details. I haven't gotten anything though.

Download it and see how big it is?
edit - iirc the download and install steps are different, so you can back out. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm on 4.010.13_com_gen2. It's not 3.2 unfortunately.

It does fix the wifi issues though.

I have 4.010.13_com_gen2 installed and I have recently starting having the Wifi issues.

If I'm not mistaken, the 14mb installation only updates a few applications on the device. I've not seen anything special. But I have noticed I get a FC on the camcorder application. Not sure if that was updated or not.

Safe to update when rooted
I've rooted my Iconia but I don't run a custom ROM. Has it been safe in the past to update Android when rooted?

I'm rooted as well but I've done nothing to the system other than alter unlock and lock sounds. I downloaded and installed the 14mb update and all is well. I think with any update, it's hit or miss. Just uproot and install if you're still running stock rom.

Yeah, I just rooted and replaced a file to get Netflix running. i could put the original file back and then un-root I guess. Thanks,

No problem with root for the 4.010.13 update
I reverted back to the stock recovery and updated to 4.010.13 without loosing root. I have not made any other mods.

Hey Everyone,
I did not notice this information posted anywhere else, and this thread seemed like a good spot to share it, so I did not create a new thread. I saw this on the actual ACER Facebook page:
Acer
Dear fans, many of you asked for the release of the Honeycomb 3.2 update for Acer ICONIA TAB A500/A501. We’ve just received confirmation today that the update will start from mid of September to the end of the month depending on the product models and countries. We wanted to provide a stable and problem-free OS to our customers. Stay tuned. We will keep you posted!

yey!
Maybe it will not shut down itself like crazy after

3.2 OTA finally hits Canada

I just got the 3.2 OTA update today on my 16GB Canadian WIFI model.
Sure seems a lot snapper than the 3.1
Rom version is VLKL2
Rob

which means we wont get ics before another 6 months...
I got bored of waiting for Samsung update and flashed Overcome 2.2.0.
I'm not going to come back to stock but thanks for the info

Great news for the stock rockers but to little to late for me . Won't beat tasks roms
Going to pick it up tho just to have a stock backup.

Yup I just got my update too. I was getting ready to make a thread about this also. Hopefully ICS will still arrive for us in the spring.

Yeah but I bet there will be some great custom ics rom before samsung release it in Canada.

I am contemplating on doing the update as well.. but would like to know first if all data will be wiped out after the update?
Thanks in advance for any input...

no data gets wiped it all stays on the tablet.

Is there an Odin flashable version of this?

I got mine too but I don't see the difference. Does anyone know what was changed in this version?

Here in Greece the 3.2 update came about a week ago.
The only noteworthy thing that i noticed changed, was the RAM use of the device.
At bootup with 3.1, the device was registering with ~250MB of free ram and with 3.2 the device registers something less than 400MB (usually around 370~395) of free ram, even after many hours of use.

Got the update in France.
Changes noticed :
- look of back button changed
- market version changed
- seems slower on back and home keypresses (like 1-2 seconds)
- AllShare Samsung DLNA application added
- bug in reconnect to wifi after sleep with Wifi activated.

Will this break root or it is safe to update?

Just use the same procedure to root again.

So having a custom kernal doesnt hinder getting updates from Samsung directly? Would i need to flash the unroot file to get proper updates working again?

KL2 has wifi direct built in, stock browser has flash turned on, allshare app built in and live wallpaper doesn't cause excessive lag. Some minor updates to the GUI for stock apps and widgets. Weather widget now has option to update hourly vs. 3 hours before. It is android 3.2 as opposed to 3.1.
The default screen has been changed in the order of apps but that's cosmetic as all the usual stock apps are there. You may need to turn wifi on after update and vibrate is on all the time but this can be adjusted.

Anyway to go from a custom rom (Task 14) to this one?

Rooted phone refuses to activate fully

Hey there. I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S5. Recently I realized the WiFi Hotspot I'm paying for just doesn't work. It enables. It allows devices to connect. It remains turned on. But any device that connects to my phone fails to achieve an Internet connection.
Yesterday I took my phone in to a Sprint representative who spent a valiant amount of time trying to fix my phone. Unfortunately when he entered ##72786#, the phone started an update process that completely screwed up my activation. I believe he later reprogrammed the phone, but the S5 is still obsessively trying to "finish" activating.

(fun fact: right now when I google "reporting firmware version to server ", nothing is returned. Maybe this'll put it on the map.)
When it's done trying, I see "firmware update not completed."
I've been seeing these messages since yesterday. And I hadn't no idea if any of this has to do with my device being rooted. Rooting is really all I've done, no ROMs or anything of that nature have been attempted... only SDFix and SELinux Mode Changer were run using it.
But I HAVE had activation woes before. When I enabled tethering on my phone, it took the better part of the day for sprint to reactivate it. And I was flying, so the process took several major cities before its success. And this was well before I rooted.
Tl;dr is it possible to use the stock Hotspot and reactivate your sprint phone while rooted with your device in a Custom status?

I'm probably just going to factory reset my phone. Is it safe to do when rooted?

I did it via Samsung Kies... this seemed safest. I used to have negative experiences with custom ROMS and ultimately decided this was the best way to go forward.
P.S. Kies is like iTunes but it doesn't suck and it doesn't require a whole lot of authentication. I just learned this. I did a text message backup and restore and that worked great. An app backup was a lot more hit-and-miss; only the apps were backed up, not the data.

So you fixed it this way? ☺

Did Factory Reset fix the message="reporting firmware version to server ", as I'm considering doing it...Thank You...

[Q] Help Obtaining Sprint SGS4 Stock Rom

Please xda brethren, I need some help. My niece purchased a sgs4, which was rooted for like $150. She was in need of a phone. Anyway, the damn thing has been permanently frozen after a week of use. So i figured maybe flashing it back to stock rom. I found the links to download the stock rom, but its taking forever to get it down. I've been at this since 9:30 THIS MORNING and it hasn't downloaded fully yet. the download keeps stopping. I have to be back at work in 6 1/2 hours and i haven't even slept yet. Can someone please out of the kindness of your heart provide me with the latest stock rom for the sgs4. I'm dying over here for sleep. :crying::crying::crying::crying:

No need to look for an old file like this. He's the latest stock to run through Odin, it should get get all fixed up and unrooted.

S7 Edge won't let me turn on the WiFI/WLAN

My S7 is completely new and was sent to me a couple of days ago. But after some usage, the phone turned off its WIFI/WLAN.
I thought it just was the phone going a bit crazy but after I wanted to turn my WIFI back on It wouldn't turn on.
But now without any Internet connection, I cannot install the latest updates that may have fixed it.
I also searched on google after a possible answer to my problem, but all I found is stuff that even a 12-year-old knows.
So now I am trying my luck here.
But I tried some off them including a Hard Reset, wiping the cache partition, etc.
None of the above worked for me.
Wiping the cache partition temporarily helped, as I was able to connect to a WIFI signal.
But it sadly ceased to work again.
So, I will send some Screenshots and that's it.
I hope you could help me or even other people that have this problem!
(I am German so the text "Sicherer Modus" translates into "Safe mode")

What operating system? Latest Oreo?
If not can you update?
Sounds like potential faulty device. Can you take it back?

Yes, I have the latest Oreo installed.
The WiFi normally works fine and I have managed to even get it working for a whole day, but after I restarted my phone it wasn't working.
I think I can get it taken back, this is a pretty new phone since it came from the phone insurance company. I got it as a present from the previous owner after it came from the insurance company.

I hope your issue is resolved but looks like a buggy blcp. Have you tried flashing? Yes though bricking is always possible but if you follow a guide step to step it shouldn't happen. Goto sammobile, get latest firmware for your country and flash. This should solve your issue. Odin is tool made by samsung so flashing through is safe, if you follow all the steps.
