Hi all, I just got an a500 yesterday at a good price in singapore. However it is stuck at 3.0.1 [build 1016].
Anyone know why the ota isn't available to me?
Do I have some weird international version?
I would check that its not counterfit. I know alot of Asian countries have problems with counterfits going around. Did you buy from a reputable dealer?

You wont get a counterfiet in Singapore unless you are extremely unlucky.
Singapore is very trustworthy.
not that I know for certain, but I'm fairly positive that its not counterfeit. It wasn't that good a price!
Its currently running 1.016.04 gen1.
Its never easy :'(
Call acer support.If that fails.find a 3.1 full update.zip file.flash the tablet to that. Then run the Acer update to get to latest version.
Acer recovery installer from the market.has the ability to do this.Look at the flashing stock roms threads in the development section.
Good luck

Yesterday I got a popup message stating that there is a system update available. Version 1.126.03. If I remember correct. I clicked the download. Now it wants to be installed. Is this a honeycomb update or a acer?
I am scared. My acer is rooted, could it be harmed?
Anyone else got this? Maybe i have a older iconia a500 than you. I got mine from singapore.
Must be an EU update. I haven't seen anything yet.
Nothing here yet either.
Nothing here in us winder what it a dresses

I don't know where to look. It was 20mb big. Is there some search app in market that can search on size?
No update available here in Greece yet.
No update here in Italy... waiting for some news about it...
no update found in netherlands. 'Your device is up to date'
No updates in france
Nothing here in the US unless it happened automatically.
I also got message on screen about new update yesterday when I powered on my tab. I went ahead with the update, but have not noticed any significant differences after the update. My iconia was bought from Taiwan, but now used in Finland. It's not rooted though..
Under settings/About tablet there are now the following versions:
Android version 3.0.1
Kernel version 2.6.36.3
Build number Acer_A500_1.126.03_COM_GEN1
Not sure what those versions were before I applied the update..
If only 20mb, must be some patches.
call acer
if you are not sure call/go to there site and see if they have any updates listed
no update on acer us site.
With Jake's data I can at least confirm that his builds and versions after he applied the update are different from mine.
I got my A500 a couple of days ago here at Best Buy in Boston, MA. I am not getting any notification of any System update, but my data is as follows:
Android Version: 3.0.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b
Build Number: Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1
So, Jake's build number after the update is higher at least.

bought mine in Dallas on Sunday, same version numbers as kinnerc
well.. i desided to install the update that i downloaded. Got a message that its invalid and canceld. Now i cant update anymore. Its up to date it says.

seems like you made a miss here, but root the transformer and download the official CWM of the FOTA Then you will get ics!
But beware ics seems a bit slow and laggy at the moment :/

Have a good day
thanks,but in your opinion the only way to update mt tf to ics is the root?
I think that I can try to update to 8.6.5.21-20111216 US and then I'll wait the notify of upgrade...what do you think about it?

You probably need to download the US version from asus downloads and manually update to that. That should solve your problems as the system will only recognize the original firmware locations.

i didn't say it was the only way, as you do have an US tab and you updated to WW i don't seem why it don't give you an FOTA update as its same tab just some other languages *Mostly* but what do i know its nothing i can do, and i think your tab is seen as US tab still, if your using WW so US hasn't yet got their update, but soon they will i guess,
Unfortunately the update system will only recognize the original firmware.... so if your tab as originally US then you update to TW it will not accept the update ( i tried when the TW update came out) it doesnt matter where you are. I have a WW but i bought it in canada and am now in indonesia so i figured why not try the TW and see if i get the update. It failed but when i went to WW it came up instantly.
Thanks guys!so,now I try to update manually to 8.6.5.21-20111216 US?
I had the same issue, first had an US version but after unroot I've flashed
the WW version and apparently these aren't scheduled for update yet, didn't get update notifications for ICS .
So what i did was return to the original US stock version and did this with NVFLash
after the US firmware was loaded it went through all the updates sequentially and ended with ICS = me a Happy TF owner
Had the same problem. Then i've rooted the TF and flashed the root version.
Very hppy now, everything is fine now.

For the ppl that flashed back to stock where did you get the ROM from? I did the same (came from Revolver ROM) and flashed back to stock (US version) but no updates showing.
You can get all the regional versions of Asus stock firmware from the asus download site
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Just choose the Region that you originally had WW or US or whatever
The update will only work for the original firmware region because it is tied to your serial number in the ASUS database or something like that.
Edit: if you have CWM (custom recovery) get one of these:
Revolver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518768
Android Revolution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892
For stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658 (I suggest the full rom not the upgrade Option B)

Why do u want to get back to stock? I came from revolver and flashed the root ics without any problems. So smooth and fast, awesome...

Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to finialy get ICS update FOTA. For those who are still having issues here is what I did:
-Started with rooted TF running Revolver ROM
-NVFlashed to a stock ROM (the flash should have removed root and CWM I'm told)
-Noticed my TF still did not see any update, stock ROM I flashed was 3.1 older stock ROM and may be part of the reason it would not update (not totally sure the reasons)
-Went to Asus official download site and D/L the US firmware update
-Unzipped that file on a Micro SD card (root directory)
-Put Micro SD card into my running (older) stock TF and the triangle popped up on the task bar saying there was an update, tap that and let it update.
-now was updated to the latest stock Asus 3.2 ROM and checked updates..it found that i needed an update and d/l ICS!!
May be an easier way to get ICS, but for me I was hearing issues others had using some of the prepared ICS ROMs on here vs. letting the TF FOTA update.
So far so good!
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.

(black) uae, (white) spain, and (pink) france... all are running open germany ics.. its a stock rom so its not going to take away your warranty... if you flash...just follow the directions and all will be fine... if youre unsure...ask before you flash...
if i flash it to the German ROM, will i be able to get OTA updates like i bought the phone NEW ? or i have to do everything manually ? and do i have to root my phone?

Just upgraded from my trusty old Galaxy s i9000 (which I must have flashed over a 100 times in the last two years!) Only had the note a few days, with a Ballistic case I can almost use it with one hand lol!
I miss my ICS rooted phone, I will wait for the official update at least until the warranty to expires. I jumped in and did a plain root last night though, at least the market is open.......
Kies reports as PDA:KK2 / PHONE:KK1 / CSC:KK2 (TTT)
so do you think my stock ROM is good or the EU one is better ?
I flashed Open Europe LC1 GB and then ICS LPY, but with the bricking issues, im back to LC1 safely.

My experience, two galaxy's GT9000T One I rooted and flashed modded bricked and basically kicked the crap out of it......still works great, I gave it to my youngest daughter. My other one was left untouched, Kies still updates all the official roms on it and it to still works great, but no ICS...

And having just forked out almost $700.00 bucks for a Note, (2 year contract) I think I can wait a little bit longer for the official release!

Not much of a difference. Battery is about the same.

Hi all. Could someone point me to the official Samsung HC 3.2 file?
On Sammobile there are 3 listed, not sure which one is correct.
For a US 7510, wifi only.
Flashed to ICS, and while it's very nice oveall, a few quirks, so I want to flash back to 3.2 and see
what the OTA update brings.
Thanks!
ETA: Or post the correct file number so I know which one to d/l from sammobile
Thanks again.
Why in the hell would you want official hc when there is available official ics
The region does not matter at all.. It's the same software and hardware for everyone.. Gosh I don't know why people gets obseced about regions...
Wanna know something? I bought my tab in canada(north america) , I live in Venezuela south America and my tab its running official ics from Italy(europe) .. And guess what... It works the exact same way like every other tab in the world... And has the same exact features

As I posted, I flashed ICS and too many quirks for now.
My tab on 3.2 worked perfectly, doesn't on ICS.
