Delete the file, reboot, then take a quick 10 steps away from your tab just in case it explodes!

I have tnt 2.00 and it works fine but wanted to update to 2.04 have read multiple post and tried to update it using the clockwork mod but have had no luck.
I put the update.zip in the main folder and replaced the update of tnt 2.00. I go the the rom manager and boot in recovery mode and eventually get a triangle with an exclamation point and get a quick boot back to my tnt 2.00.
Where am I going wrong?

As roebeet pointed out in the first post, if you're flashing with clockwork mod recovery, you need to extract update.zip from his ZIP file and put THAT on your SD card.
So basically your saying that with the clockwork mod you do need an sd card and have to put the update on the card.
I know that you have to unzip it and only put the update.zip file in if you are using the clockwork mod but didn't know you had to put it on an sd card.
When I originally changed the rom to tnt 2.0 I just put it on the internal storage.

No, /sdcard is the internal storage. Just put the update.zip in the root of the internal storage.

Yeah, what he said.
One of the problems for new guys is how things are named. And the fact that they're named different things between TnT (and the Lite variant), CM6 and clockwork. TnT (and Lite) as well as clockwork, all call the internal storage "sdcard". CM6b4 calls internal storage "emmc" cuz apparently that's what it's called on phones that have both internal storage and an SD/MicroSD slot.

That's actually the industry standard. Why VS decided to setup the device that way is anyone's guess. Same for a lot of the things they did.
Without this great community support, this thing would be a a pile of crap. A pile of crap with potential, but still a pile of crap.

I put it in the folder and still get the white triangle with the black exclamation when it tries to reboot and reverts back to the tnt 2.00.
So what is causing this white triangle to appear and not letting me update??
I get the same symbol when I try to backup my current rom using the rom manager.
I get the same white triangle when I use the "Install ROM from SD Card" in rom managment....
I would like to know the exact steps to update from one version to another as well...

Do you have to wipe all your data everytime to update to a new ROM version... it would seem like it would get tiresome installing all my apps/data everytime

I think that, at this point, it's not critical if you're staying on the same mod. Only wipe if you have problems, but of course backup your device before upgrading (just in case).
Flipping between mods, on the other hand, is more risky. I would highly recommend wiping data in that case.
Just got my A7 today. Had I known that an android device could not automatically acces android market I would not have bothered.
Trying to download Dexters mod. I think i'm following directions but am completely lost. I down load the link and get 5 files listed
1. meta inf
2. bootloader
3. boot
4. recovery
5. system
I save them to microsd card, rename the file to Update.zip, follow the rest of the instructions. DOES NOT WORK!!
I've tried Update.zip, update.zip, ive compressed the files then saved them to the card, ive reformatted, i've checked the download amount=100.... etc.
Please help- no links just directions step by step please.
Do not unzip the files.
Rename the compressed files to "Update.zip"
Copy to sd card.
Then, follow directions as stated on page one of ROM thread.

Try downloading it again. You might get the whole download, but a portion of it might be corrupt. Happens all the time.

If you are using a windows computer you just need to rename the file to Update. Not Update.zip. The .zip is already there, you just don't see it. If you rename it to Update.zip it actually makes it Update.zip.zip.
What method are you using to update? I suggest booting into recovery and then updating. Here is a link to a video on how to boot into recovery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZypl3lYUdQ

You also might need to format the SD card to FAT32.

Seems like you will not be happy with this device. Why not return it and get a device that has access to the market built in?

Another noob question for you guys... Once I flash a rom, Gapps, etc.. Can I delete the RAR file I downloaded the romand moveds over to on my SD card? I have plenty of space but see no reason to leave it on there? or does it have to stay?

Yes you can delete the .zip from the ROM and the g/apps. Just make sure to keep a backup on there handy incase you need it.
Ok so I can delete the zip file containing the rom off my SD card once flashed?

Is it possible to install the update.zip through usb or external sd card? My friend has one and he does not want root (lame) or a custom rom. So how can we force the update through USB or SD card.
put the update on SD card name it update.zip and boot into Acer recovery by pressing power and holding volume down button.. remember you can't just flash it back if he wants to go back you will have to downgrade it

So how do I boot into Acer recovery once I do what do I do? Do I put the update.zip on the internal or external SD card?

Use astro file manager and see if the file is named update.zip or update.zip.zip. is should work if update.zip

I still don't understand... it is Update.zip but when I downloaded it was acerxxxxxxx something xxxxx.zip; with a .zip; on the end. So I renamed it update.zip
Try just renaming it update, without the zip stuff. That's what I had to do, because my computer is set to "hide extensions for known file types" so the ".zip" is hidden. So when I renamed it update.zip, it was really renaming it to update.zip.zip

Can I go bak to 3.2.1 when I install ICS?
How?
Thans.
I highly recommend not using the leak rom, because if you do not know a lot about what you are doing, you may not be able to get back over to stock to get the actual OTA update. I would not condone using the leak at all, I was locked out of my recovery for a week before someone posted a proper fix, and even that was difficult for me who has experience in this field to follow.
tl,dr,
Don't flash, wait for Acer to release the full update if you don't want to use a rom
Will this work on my Packard Bell liberty tab?
So what we were doing was putting my micro SD into his Acer when it was OFF.. we put it in when it was on and it formatted it. We had it named update.zip the whole time we just needed to put it in when his tab was on.
Today i downloaded the OPN 27.74 and pasted on internal storage and checked for update and surprisingly i saw this.. (look at the attachment)
should i update or wait?
Edit: I installed the update and succeed, after that pasted the second soak on internal and again succeed,
now mine is on beta 2
I made the Oreo switch and I can recommend it for Substratum alone. With the vivid community it should be relatively easy to get all Soak tests and be back on the OTA track

that's nice, I used to do this when my moto g was on lollipop.
that's almost hillarious...now it just have to work for me. Still have to flash back stock ROM because it doesn't like Magisk, but now again it does flash, but after reboot and entering boot password I end up with that red Moto logo on blue and nothing moving except the screen going of for a second every few seconds. I'll wait for half an hour to see if anything happens this time. But really strange that behaviour
EDIT: no, still same behaviour
So...what happened?
