Can someone who has the US 3.2 update post it for manual update?
I'm just surprised that there is not already a US version avaible for manual update, the android community usually has the update snagged before the manufactures start the major OTA (example: the DROID line).
You can get Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2 here or there

Is there anyway for me to tell which update my G1 just downloaded and put in the "System Updates" section?
I manually installed Android 1.5 (UK) version a few days ago (i live in the us, just couldn't wait). Was there a patch for the UK version today or yesterday? If it is not a UK update, how can I tell if it is the US update? Would like to provide the archive for other people to install 1.5 US if that is what it actually is.
(i have not applied the patch yet its just sitting in the System Updates section, waiting.)
You probably got some EU version security update. This was already covered in a post in the dev forum. If you want to check, just open your terminal and look in /cache.
Hello everybody,
seems like Google is rolling out another update on Android 1.5. The new version number is CRC1 and the update.zip has a size of only 2 MB. There is no further info on the changes in the update notification than it being a security update.
Here is a translated version of the original source:

I think this may be the one I recieved the other night. It killed my root access. I had to reflash Harry_m's kernel to get root back.
Would anyone like to chime in about rumored first OTA update for the Atrix? Will webtop improvements be updated through OTA firmware upgrades?
Also, how soon has Motorola issued updates for their phones in the past? At&T?
It pushed to my phone last night (3/30/2011) but I'd like to know what it plans to do before I tell it to run.
I purchased my tablet from US and I live in india. Only one time i was able to update when i run it first time, after than never got any message for update of Android Version.
When i go to Settings>About Tablet and click on System Update and check for new version it's gives me message "Your device is up to date" and when i see the version details than these are
Model Number : A500
Android Version : 3.0.1
Kernel Version : 2.6.36-00017-gc98d63f
Build Number : Acer_A500_1.016.01_COM_GEN1
Update is not available for india yet or where i am wrong please help.
Not sure if your locale has anything to do with getting updates. That's typically an issue with 3G providers, but as long as your tablet is an A500 (wifi only version) it should find the OTA updates no problem, that it unless you are running a custom ROM. Either way, you can manually update your tablet. All the information you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
If you currently have a custom ROM or rooted your stock ROM, you will lose root by updating to a newer stock ROM, and the only way to recover root is by reverting back to Android 3.0. There are several custom ROM's based on 3.2 which already have root, if you also choose to go that route. If you have no idea what I mean when I mention root, just don't worry about it and carry on with that link I posted
Thanks Bloodflame, Yes i read that it can not be rooted and thank you for the link to get it update manually but i don't understand why i am not able to get updates.
And whether it is good to update with 3.0.2 ? Please suggest.

can't explain why you're unable to OTA update, but the security and performance improvements along with new features (ie, native mouse support) should make a manual 3.2 update worthwhile
Ok Thanks, I will update to 3.2 and let me see what magic it does.
This may be a known issue but my wife's (non-rooted, completely stock) A500 has been getting a 4.0 OTA notification since yesterday. It says it's invalid, after downloading it, so I ASSUME it's not actually for this device but is that the case? If it is for the A500, do I need to do a factory reset to get it to update?
Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
What version is it running currently? 7.014.02
I have not seen anything since the 7.014.01/02 releases a few days back.
It would be nice to see Acer taking the lead on releases but I will believe it when it happens. The. 02 release did have a new to me update screen when it installed....

I think I know what one of the issues is- This must have been some really old stock (bestbuy.com) because it's running 3.0.1 and the kernal version is 26.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b. Is it possible that it's somehow "skipping" the OTA updates in the correct order (or maybe they aren't available OTA anymore?) and thus giving me the "invalid" message?
yep would not surprise me at all... you should be able to download from a thread in the rom area a thread by vache has links to almost all of them.
You should probably change the thread title if you can.

There have been others with similar issues.Seems like acer did not and is not pushing the updates to some devices.
I would first call acer if you. Not likely to help but would atleast let them know they have issue.
For a right now fix.
Get iconiaroot. Root tablet.
Get acer recovery installer. Install custom recovery.
Look on forums for a stock 3.1 or 3.2 rom.
You can get a ore rooted rom if you wish but would kill all updates in future.
There are lots of information in the dev forums on step by step instructions and downloads.
Be careful fallow instructions.
Good luck.
The 4.0.xxxx update, is an update for UI. It should come in 2 notifications for stock tablets.
The first, is a preparatory update. The second, is the actual update.
Note, if you have a rooted tab, as some people can tell, it is not advisable to take any OTA update from acer.
In the forum, if you want to take the update, there is a thread which has rooted versions of these updates.
