[Q] 4.010.40 always fail to finish download, any alternative? - Acer Iconia A500

Hi,
I just got an A500 for my mum, mainly for games and Chinese handwriting to surf Facebook. Suit her need but I am aware of an update 4.010.40 which is 376.99MB big. It always got stuck at some point and end up I have to redownload the whole update. My broadband is a weak 1Mbps (it's normal in my country!!), but I don't think that affects very much.
Anyway, I am here to ask for any possible alternative, a wired update? Or I just have to keep trying?
EDIT: It's unrooted.

Rename the file to "update.zip", place it on your external SD Card, turn off your tablet. Hold down volume up button while holding the power button until you see three lines of white writing on the screen, and then let the tablet update. Don't let up on the volume or power until you see the three lines of text on the screen.

Okay, now I know what's going on. LOL!
Thanks a lot. Will try the OTA method a few more times. If it still fails, I'll do it this way.

If the file you asked for is the same as you're trying to download OTA, it's the same exact file, and will update you in the same manner that the OTA will.

Okay, I may sound annoying but no one wants to brick a 2-days old gadget.
You mentioned about decrypting it, why do you need to do so?

So you can update from your SD Card, but I think you should probably wait for your update OTA, given the questions you're asking, you may very well brick your tablet. I was just trying to help.
Good luck!

if you cant double click and open the zip file, then that mean it's decrypted
else you need to decrypt the file and then extract the update.zip contained inside the OTA file... many post about that try to search for simply... post from Vache about OTA files

same problem here
thanks for how to
only question is the update.zip
compatible to upgrade firmware

Just attempted this and it went terribly wrong
everything was okay until it tried pushing the logo to my sdcard (which failed with "permission denied") - it then said it couldn't copy the file from sdcard because it didn't exist.
I proceeded to unmount the sdcard from the phone and try it again which seemed to work. I shut the phone down and when I attempted to turn it back on it just remained off... I was able to get into download mode with odin 1-click and flash to stock (thank God).
- Serendipity 5.7
- I9000 .rar package
- logo_ATNT.jpg < 20K
was it the unmounting that did the trick? and can I just manually move the file onto /mnt/sdcard/ and edit the .bat file to skip the push?
Worked perfectly for me I love the nexus boot screen with my nexus boot animation Thank you connexion

I'm not sure but it sounds like you didn't make sure that busy box was installed. As for not turning back on, I'm surprised at that. I soft bricked a vibrant building the vibrant files and got out of it but that was my fault pulling the usb cable out accidentally before ODIN was done. The answer to your question is yes, you can just flash the param.lfs tar file, verify busy box apk is installed and so is busy box, then just manually move the file. The script is built for simplicity. I'm sorry you had trouble.

Also, you did let the phone try to boot for a sec right? In some cases when you don't have a boot screen after the flash you won't get a dirty pixel screen but it will be black for the 5-10 seconds it attempts to show you whats there. I just want to make sure you were not prematurely turning the phone off.

yeah, i attempted to turn back on twice (hold power for about 3-4 seconds, wait about 10) after it seemingly succeeded - I pulled battery in between jic.
the .bat file said busybox install failed because it was already installed... how else can I verify that bb is installed?

That will install the application on the phone. But, before you finish the rest of the batch script, you must open the app on the phone and make sure it's installed. It will look and tell you. If it's not click install busybox. When it's done, continue with the batch script. I'd start fresh also btw. Reflash with ODIN on the tar package then launch the script.

the "flashable root" version would be PRIME 1.8.2, thats the closest you'll get. There is no stock + superuser on any ROMs yet.

If your device isn't rooted, go to settings, about tablet, then click firmware update up top, and it will install this update, if your device is rooted this file is useless to you since you need to unroot to apply it until someone mods it for rooted devices. Good luck!

If you rooted you cannot apply this, you need to unroot (head over to the development threads or google "unroot asus transformer xda" then after you have unrooted simply go into settings, about device, then click firmware update and it will apply this update, then simply re-root =] there is currently no way to apply this otherwise to my knowledge

it is supposed to be in /cache and named the same with the .zip removed, however I don't believe you can place it in that location without root so just update as instructed in the above posts
I need some help. The update popped up for me yesterday, but I was rooted. So I proceeded to follow the steps to unroot my device, and got it all working again. Now I can't get any updates to appear for me. I even tried to manually check for updates, it says none, but I'm still on 8.6.5.6.
Any ideas?

MF3 = motochopper does not work. You would need to root using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577
NOTE: You cannot unroot once you do it. If you mess up your phone with root, there is likely no way to fix it. There is no possibility of installing a custom recovery, even after you have root...and so you can't flash any ROMs either. Know the risks and issues before you proceed and make sure root is THAT important to you.
Since you are on MF3 there is also no way to downgrade to previous firmware, you are stuck with the above restrictions until someone figures out a new exploit...and no ETA on that.

I hate to say it, but because your on mf3 and you tried to use causal, you've borked your phone. Afaik there is not currently away to recover it. You have to wait until if or when an odin flashable firmware comes out. You could try jtag but I don't think that even works. As a last resort try kies emergency recovery.

I seriously doubt he got root.
It sounds more like he got it to boot (misspelled words).
No recovery and no way to factory reset. Sad.
Will all these folks be borked forever? On that note, I discovered an automated text survey after talking to AT&T support on the phone to light up a new SIM for a different handset. I gave high marks for the person's help, and low marks on AT&T in general, and in the last survey screen where you supply your comment, I told them what I thought of them locking the bootloader on the Samsung-SGH-I337.
The experience was not unlike wetting myself while wearing a dark suit, it gave me a warm feeling and hardly anyone will notice.

Goomanager stuck

Hello I just go my S4 today. I downloaded goomanager because I wanted to install TWRP. It did not work. Now when I try to reset back to factory settings I keep getting a screen that says downloading do not turn off target. How can I fix this and get it back to the normal recovery mode?
i have no idea what carrier or device (i337 / i337m) you have.
when you got your device did you check in settings to see what build number you were running and then check out the material on xda before proceeding? there's ways of doing things that can save you headaches if you browse and read first. cheers
Dude, you pretty much hosed your new phone by not doing your home work before messing with it. I'm sure you're on mf3 firmware. Your best hope is to get it re-flashed at a bestbuy with the Samsung experience. You'll have some explaining to do! Good luck!

You can probably get it to boot by pushing vol down when it goes to download mode. But your recovery is messed up now.
To the OP
I have the same issue. I manage to reboot the phone by turning it off, holding the power and volume down buttons, then when it asks if I'm sure I want to install a custom ROM, I hot cancel (volume down) and it reboots like normal.
Right now, I'm just trying to get mine back into ecovery so I can install CM

You're not going to be able to get it into recovery. Bestbuy is your best solution. Or wait until if and when an odin flashable firmware is available.
Im getting out of it that way too. But if I ever want to update or anything this will stop me i think. I can use it for now but I really want to fix it. nothing worse than having a phone for an hour and ****ing it up.

No, it has to be mf3 firmware and it's not currently available. Trying to flash an earlier firmware won't work. There is a qfuse in the phone's circuitry that is blown when mf3 is on the phone which won't let you downgrade.

Sorry to say, but you'll be wasting your time. You'll find that there have been many, many people in the same boat for months now and the only current solution is if you can get bestbuy to re-flash it. They and att are the only ones who have the firmware available.

if your recovery is still broken, nothing. you can use the Odin filed for MF3 or find the thread about someone who use a recovery flasher app to repair before doing the update.

Hello I just go my S4 today. I downloaded goomanager because I wanted to install TWRP. It did not work. Now when I try to reset back to factory settings I keep getting a screen that says downloading do not turn off target. How can I fix this and get it back to the normal recovery mode?

Hey... I jacked up my phone installing a custom recovery with GooManager too. It isn't for our phone. To get back to Android from DL mode just do power button+vol up+home and it will send ya back. Take it to Best Buy and say Kies broke your phone. You were trying to run an update and it messed it up. They can fix it for ya. Obviously you're rooted so just delete Superuser.apk and delete all root apps. Just in case. And don't be a derp and tell them the phone was rooted... Good Luck.
(Go back and hopefully they won't remember you.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

45.0.A.7.137 can now be downloaded for G8141

As the title says, I'm downloading it now. :good:
Flashed, works perfectly .
Of the regions that offer it, do any of them have voLTE enabled? EE UK might be my first pick.. I guess? Running Tmo in the US.

You can either do a full flash letting it wipe everything or only update.
If you let it update it will only re-install bloatapps, the phone will be in exact same condition as pre-flash.
As a regular ota update would.

Most guides are utterly crap.
I'm away from my PC but find and download the newflasher program. That when run, will give you the option to extract drivers, do it, the right click on the inf file and install it. Now copy the new flasher program in to a folder with your new firmware in, make sure you downloaded the correct one.
Then turn off your phone, all the way. Hold down the vol down button and plug a usb cable to connect to your pc, give it a moment, nothing will happen on the screen, it will remain blank.
Now run the newflasher program again, forget the drivers as you have done that and let it do its thing.
Done.... Well it will be after about 10 Min, on your computer screen it will show you progress.
If no one has replied with links to the programs I'll do it but it's going to be a few days, I'm currently sailing across the ocean and my signal is about to vanish

Don't bother, you will get reported.
The dev is a ... special case.
