Iconia A500 3.2 update - Bee with Exclamation sign above.
Im running the update and when the device reboots and as it progresses a honeycomb bee with a triangular sign with an Exclamation mark in it appears...
The installation does not progress any further and i have no idea what to do. I can reset my system but it says update fails and continues on 3.1.
Any ideas/thought/suggestions?
I have the same problem !

If you care about root and having CWM installed I would not update to stock 3.2 using OTA. Just grab one of the 3.2 updates in the development thread so you can retain root. But if just want plain stock 3.2 and you have CWM installed, you need to revert back to the stock recovery first otherwise it will fail.

OK, thanks
Same problem wihout root. Any suggestions what the problem could be?
im thinking if it's because you have a rooted device? I had the same thing. But do not ever update to 3.2 OTA. I would recommend a stock rooted 3.2 in the Development thread. Easy flash. Flying rom.

Although this is an old thread, I think other solutions for those who were not rooted were to make sure you have an sdcard entered... I think....
Where did he state that? I haven't seen that.

Just to be clear. You installed a ROM that was made for the GTab, and not made for the A500, or you installed a custom ROM for the A500 based off of the GTab?

I too am having this problem. Unfortunately, every time I try to downgrade using a stock 3.1 ROM using the stock recovery it will not boot and since CWM is gone I cannot restore to backed up ROM.

this is a prime example why it is always best to wait until the devs get their hands on the update. You are just going to have to wait till the root programs and CMW are updated to work with the new build. Early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

@amburke178
Yeah its true u better should be patient...
I dont know whether the devs are working on it..but a downgrade to 3.0.1 or3.1 would solve the problem... there are various ROMS/ custom ROMS..
To my sorrow i almost used every rom they offered in the dev section..
One Rom should work..if not try to be patient... =D

i think it is because of the new bootloader. Your best bet at this point is to just wait for the new root program to come out. Shouldn't take them that long for it. Don't know about the itsmagic update that could take time, but everything would speed up if anybody would upload the new build so the devs can start looking at it.
I captured the 3.2 update when it came in to my tablet, I have the update.zip and would gladly share it if it helps get root faster.
Not entirely sure the best way to share a 350meg file though!
File I have is an update from 4.010.38 (3.1) to 7.006.01 (3.2) (file claims to be Acer_A500_4.010.38_7.006.01_COM_GEN1)
I can probably put it on some webspace for someone, but I'm afraid if I post it publicly my bandwidth limit will be quickly exceeded.

Of course that occurred to me about 10 seconds after I hit submit...
So I have uploaded it to megaupload...
Unfortunately this forum won't let me post external links... so I can't tell you how to find it!
edit: ok, finally I can post links, so I'm updating this: www.megaupload.com/?d=UXOVADAS
This update comes from 4.010.38 to 7.006.01 so you'll need to be on 4.010.38 first to do the update. (that one can be found in the master ROM list on this site at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 )

Hopefully this allows some of the developers to start playing with rooting 3.2
Additionally for anyone who has managed to brick their tablet trying to downgrade to an earlier version, this file can be used to get you back up and running (at least it worked to get me back up after I tried to downgrade to 3.1)
Thanks for the upload

Hi Guys, i own an A501 for one week now, running 3.2 (already installed when buying it).
I understand that it is not possible to root or downgrade 3.2.
But, and here comes my question: Why isn't it possible to use the recovery-function to install an already rooted 3.2?
People trying to downgrade to 3.1 or lower get an error message, but when they re-flash 3.2 their tablet is running again.
So why can't we just re-flash an already rooted 3.2?

Carsten

SPCIIW, but I believe the "rooted 3.2" ROMS are all using the 3.1 bootloader, not the 3.2 bootloader, and that's why you can't flash to a rooted 3.2
OMG... another completely meaningless post??? PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!!!
I understood your question well, so here's the answer.
You can't modify the update.zip file from Acer in any way because when flashing it verifies each file against a file where there is a list with the files to be installed and their CRC, if you modify or add something the flash fails.
Trying to use other already rooted customs rom is no gonna work, because they changed the boot loader to recognize only Acer roms and updates files.
Hope it helps you.

That would be wrong. I install a rooted 3.2 rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1232545.html
Long as you have CWM installed. And I installed Thor 3.4 to OC and my tab works like a charm. So its possible to do.
*admit I'm not sure if this Tom has a 3.1 boot loader however it works great. Let me know if you need further help.
I'm talking about somebody who already did the update to STOCK 3.2, not about customs roms. Try to flash a custom rom after you are in stock 3.2 and see how it fails the flash.

And locked the bootloader again, which is why we don't have root once again. The Eepad has already been rooted for 3.2, but since most of the DEVs in the a500 forums have left for greener pastures, I'm not certain we'll see root for 3.2 anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong?

I'm obvious not a Dev but please explain how fguy rooted this 3.2 rom. Its an Acer 501 stock rom. No mods other then the rooted part and the two full version apps. Granted its a "custom" rom however it the best waynto get root access with 3.2 all the updates. I'm in south Africa and the 3.2 update hasn't even hit here yet. So this is the best option for me. And I'm sure for alot of others.

I just rec'd the new A500 8Gb version that already has 3.2 installed. So this is not the normal 3.2 OTA, which maybe the same. Don't know how to confirm.
I have read so many posts that appears to be rooting instructions for 3.0 and not for 3.2. I see one Thread that had instructions on how to root a OTA 3.2 but the instructions even says will take 1.5hrs. I have rooted tablets/phones before and i know it doesn't take that long and don't want to lose data.
I don't want to install a custom rom just so i can be rooted. I just want to root this tablet and i don't want to downgrade the bootloader.
Can anyone please point me to the correct thread or simply let me know if rooting is currently out of the question for this scenerio.
im on the same page, just picked up the 3.2 from costco.. A little common sense points me and you in the direction of downgrading to the 3.0.1.. Then bumping up to the rooted 3.2.. its not a one click solution but it makes complete sense..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
im doing it as i write this let you know my success..
Yeah I have read that an option is to downgrade to 3.0, root then go to 3.2. Guess i'm waiting on a short version that will root stock 3.2 and it doesn't make sense to me to go back only to go up versions of rom for this alternative route.
lol its data, not like your trading in your new car for a 87 nova.. Downgrade is for exploit access only as soon as root --> update recovery ---> flash rom you will be right back to 3.2..
:-/
anyways method 2 works.. did it in 15 minutes cause i got distracted..
good luck waiting for ur 1 click
cool, so i guess this is the best solution for now....i'll do the same.

Thx for the heads up guys, i did install the acer recovery. Now i know why you need it since that 3.0 downgrade is very unstable. I did manage to root, install CWM and flashed a 3.2 rom.

If you've downgraded to the unstable version, that's where you want to be, root it, install Acer recovery, which you will install CWM with, then install a "pre-rooted" 3.2 or custom 3.2 ROM.
