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.

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.

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!

newer kernel too
mine still no update. is it because mine is not the earlier batch?
A new wifi driver is definitely needed, can't wait.
i hope this includes the fix for SOD. my transformer just started SOD recently, and it's just insanely annoying.
It just appears to be the update bringing the Chinese up to date with honeycomb 3.1. I would assume it has something to do with their 'great firewall' or something.

So do you feel any performance improvement from the latest update?

I'm the OP,actually the screenshot was originally posted by some other guy.Mine still gets no sign of update.According to Asus China or rumors,the updates will be pushed in batches this week.
I'll update this thread once mine updated.
Either China gets a custom build for various (probably government) reasons, or they just decided to add the new fixes since they were behind on CN version of 3.1. Hopefully, it's the latter which means other regions will be getting an update soon.
Hopefully first thing to get fixed is the browser.
From the numbers, this is the same as my 3.1 build. So nothing new.
What? My US 3.1 is 8.4.4.5?

Do you guys know the size of the update?
Nothing here in the UK (again).
There was no mention of the size of the update.
It is 3.22mb
I'm in the US, mine updated, took about 20mins, lots of updates, faster, better fonts, well worth it
how do you get those updates?
did you enabled the update function under settings?
It has been almost two hours and I can not get my tab to turn on. It was fully charged and unplugged when I hit update.

If you are just getting a black screen after trying to apply the update you can clear this up (if rooted with CWR). If that applies to you boot in to CWR, wipe cache, wips Dalvik, reboot. It will be as if the update was never downloaded. Several folks reported this and this was a clear resolution - short of restoring a backup.
If you did not install CWR, are not rooted, or have no idea what I am saying above I can not be of any help at this time. Sorry.
Those of you that installed the update, were you rooted? If so, did you keep root?
Im rooted running a TW rom, got this update and rebooted, nothing happened, hung at black screen. Was very pissed. Whiped cache/davlik as instructed in this thread and was able to boot back into my tab =D
I recieved the updated (in DFW)
I am not rooted.
size 3.22mb
and Yes things seem to run a lot faster. (Example.... Field Runners loads twice as fast for me now!!!)
Anyone else that is Rooted install the update and all work out well?
Darn it, the progress bar is getting stuck at 28%. It is always something...
unrooted, btw.
Thanks guys. Your help is greatly appreciated. I'm back and running thanks to you.

Installing on rooted device
My Tab 10.1 is rooted and running a custom kernel but not a custom ROM. I tried to do an OTA update but it didn't work (same as others). Is there an issue updating firmware on a rooted device? Will updating "unroot" my device?
Thanks
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?
I was preparing to root my tablet and it was downloading the firmware. During the root process, it rebooted the tablet 3 times if i remember correctly and my firmware was interrupted. After my tablet was fully rooted, the firmware said it was done downloading, and when I tried to install it, I got a message saying Update failed due to integrity check fail (meaning the firmware file was corrupted and the hash mismatched). So I went and tried to manually update my tablet to jellybean using a different method, but it failed as well. Also my tablet was acting extremely slow after root, both in market and browser. Google wouldn't load when my connection had full bars. Dont know why.
I was told I wouldnt be able to re download the firmware because asus logs you the first time and you cant download the firmware after the first attempt. You have to wait and retrieve the jellybean firmware file from Asus downloads site and manually flash it.
Anyhow, I decided to factory reset my tablet. When I went to sign in and got to the home screen, BINGO firmware downloaded initiated! I am not going to reboot or touch this until the download is complete!
So, backup your files before you factory reset, then sign in, and see if you can re download the firmware. Hopefully others can.
I will post another picture when it successfully updates to Jellybean.

The being unable to download an update after a failed attempt its pretty much a myth, and I'm talking from personal experience. Once it logs the download and fails you have to wait for a bit, maybe a couple of day or maybe 15 mins. Just try refreshing the check for update function every hour or so.

Good question, I've been waiting patiently since Saturday morning for another attempt at OTA JB upgrade..
myth or reality..
I do have two questions... who released JB.. google or Asus? If Asus released it, wouldn't it be on their website by now?
It won't pop up automatically you need to refresh it by going into settings about tablet check for update. I had to wait like 3 days also after doing a downgrade for my tab to receive the update again. Maybe I am just lucky. Just keep spamming the living hell out of that check foe update button

I would advise against it, if you want root, and possible bootloader unlock. It may not cause any issues, but why risk it?
Did you get the one that bumped you up to 11A yet? And how big does it say the file is?

What version are you on now? If you are on 11A and getting an update, it is a new one.
I know it could be meaningless because they could be pushing it out in waves, but I am on 11A and an update check shows there is nothing out there.
Got the update last night.never took it though..my build #right now on sprint is lmy47d....guys do NOT update until root has been pushed out to us..could be nothing but then again why chance it...
