I wouldn't expect the Canadian update any time soon. The google buyout seems to have put a hold on the android updates Moto was releasing for non-US customers. Just last week on the official moto forums we were told if we want 'early' access to it, we should sign up for their testing program. What does that tell you? Nevermind it's almost the end of august now.....
Rob
I!m in canada as well, just root and install the hammerhead rom that's around. I have a smoother device for it and have absolutely no regrets!
Some user on the official moto forums said the Canadian OTA 3.1 update is live now with working sd card support (r/w). I can't test, I returned my Xoom and got a Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Rob
Canadian 3.1 OTA updates are indeed live. My 3.0.1 Xoom just now offered to upgrade itself to 3.1.
"Your tablet has been upgraded to 64.0.20.en.CA version"
Yup mine just updated today. Crazy timing
were you guys rooted with tiamat kernel when you updated?
I got the update but I hit "later" to make sure I:
1) don't lose root
2) don't brick due to custom kernel
Any thoughts?

Don't try to OTA update if you are rooted/with or without a custom kernel. Being just unlocked appears to be ok.
The Tiamat ROM has been known to cause some issues with the OTA updates, but that is due to the nature of the device being rooted. A few members have experienced bootloader issues where the device will stay stuck on the Honeycomb boot animation.
When that happens, all you can do is wipe and restore. You shouldn't have to do that now seeing that both Tiamat and the official US ROM are now up to 3.2.
I'm not on the Tiamat ROM, I have the kernel only (3.0.1 official from google, bootloader unlocked, rooted and running Tiamat Kernel 1.3.2)
I should wait then?

I would say yes, don't do it, but if you want to experiment, just make sure you are prepared to come back from a soft brick.
yeah I'll wait I hate starting over... I'll wait for a patched update.zip or something!
Thanks (hey at least 3.1 for Canada is finally out... 3.2 is out for the U.S. and 4.0 is coming... geez)
Can't wait for 4.0.

I can confirm this. Downloading nao!
For those of us who rooted our device and want to update OTA, what are our options? If I wipe my device, does that eliminate root which will allow me to update OTA?
Any news on 3.1 Canada? I get a popup every couple of hours and I hit "LATER" everytime ... waiting for the right way to do it
Hi all,
I got my Iconia A500 updated to HC3.2 last week. But I lost my root access after updating to HC3.2 and I can't tether my Iconia A500 to my ad Hoc hotspot!
How can I root my Iconia HC 3.2? I want to root my Iconia HC3.2 so that I can enable the ad hoc under root access.
I am from Hong Kong. Thanks.
Blessings,
Kin
more info needed
Please be detailed in what you were doing version of os you were installing. And so on.this will more likely get someone with same experience to help.your post is left with too many variations.
if your A500 HC3.1 was rooted (you did it yourself, or...?), why don't apply the same rooting procedure to your HC3.2?

Simple reason: if iconiaroot 1.3 was used to root HC 3.1 then it will not work on HC 3.2
Tried it myself on an updated A501.

Rooting HC3.2 Iconia A500
I have the same problem. Did anyone have any solution???
I lost root also, as expected, when I updated to HC 3.2 and iconiaroot did not work (seems to be a problem with superuser. Acer just started rolling out HC 3.2 over the last couple of days but the android developers in these forums are pretty smart, I'm sure they'll start posting root solutions soon.
You may want to try this. It's the root process for 3.2 on the A100. May very well work, although I don't have 3.2 yet so I cannot test it.
http://dcarico.com/articles/android-apps/1016-acer-iconia-a100-root-instructions.html
Thanks for the suggestion, but tried it 4 times on my a500 with HC 3.2 and it would not root.

It was worth a try, although for the life of me I can't figure what would be different between the two, except screen size?!?

The version of 3.2 for the A500 is not the same as the version of 3.2 for A100 (the A100 has had 3.2 a lot longer) I suspect in the mean time Acer patched it before releasing the A500 version.
So far there is no way to root 3.2, and more annoyingly, there is also no way to downgrade to 3.1 to get root back (trying to flash a 3.1 update.zip on the 3.2 tablet leaves the tablet unbootable)
for now we're stuck on unrooted 3.2 until one of the devs sweeps in and saves us!

Do you suppose this is a realistic expectation? I understood that once they decide to lock the boot-loader that root becomes next to impossible.
But then, admittedly, I know very little.
I am a little pissed off about the fact that I stupidly accepted the upload without checking this first. Now I can't use wifi tether (no adhoc), making the tablet almost useless for my needs.
Oh well,
Cheers,

There are many devices with locked bootloaders that have been rooted (my phone, a motorola milestone, is one of them)
The odds are that the device will be rooted again, the only question is when, but I don't really expect it to take too long. hang in there, you'll be back up and running before you know it.

At present only solution is using nearly stock cus.rom to get root.
In more details, look at following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265847
If he's already on 3.2, it's too late for that, he won't be able to flash that ROM. if you are on 3.2 there is currently no way to get root, or to downgrade to 3.1
Wait for,maybe, a couple of weeks and there will be a Rootmethod for 3.2.That's my experience with this great forum. For now just enjoy your clean and original Tab.
Sent with my Android
I keep seeing forum posts popping up on this and other forums from people who've upgraded to 3.2, not realizing that this is an upgrade that is irreversible and cannot be rooted.
I wonder if it would be prudent to put up a warning thread (perhaps a sticky) warning people not to accept the 3.2 OTA update if they want to continue using root.
Hi All,
I bought the A500 last week and, without a lot of thinking, I upgraded to the last OTA HC 3.2 from HC 3.01.
If I do and hard reset to factory settings does it revert to 3.01 or will stay with 3.2?

As all the threads on this have said you are stuck.there is one solution in the developed section but to me it seems hackish.could be risky.

Acer has updated their website with launch dates for ICS. Looks like they will roll ICS out on April 27 for US / Canada.
Check the Acer website for the update, I can't seem to post the link. Finally we have what we need.
Was able to post link .......

Tablet PCs Acer's A100 and A500 tablets getting Ice Cream Sandwich on April 27th
"With April nearly over, it's high time Acer came clean on when exactly its promised Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the A100 and A500 would land. Today the company did just that, revealing that US owners of either tablet can opt-in for their frozen makeovers starting on the 27th. Bad news if you're rocking AT&T's variant of the latter though, as the listing on the company's support page for the A501 says "no update planned." Those not tied Ma Bell can expect Acer's skin -- including that ring launcher -- grafted onto Google's latest, much like the A200's ICS upgrade back in February. Already pumped? Go ahead and bookmark that source link. Do it, we won't judge."

A500 ICS-udate for german users in late april confirmed
I've got the following mail from support.
Antwort (Acer Online-Unterstützungscenter) - 18/04/2012 13:42
A : Das Update auf Android 4.0 ist für Ende April geplant. Allerdings gibt es hierzu noch keinen genauen Termin.
Translate:
The update to Android 4.0 is planned for late April. However, there is still no exact date for this purpose.
Well, lets hope Acer has solved the Tegra driver issues that have plagued other devices running ICS like the Asus Transformer. We shall soon see.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
I am currently running the leaked version of the 4.0.3 when it first was available. I flashed it so I have no root, etc. Now that the update is coming out, will I be able to flash right over it, or do I need to root and downgrade back to 3.2.1 to be able to update to the official 4.0.3? I highly doubt I will get a OTA if Im already running the leaked 4.0.3 right? Please advise. I ask because I cant seem to find the official 3.2.1 rom and a working link for the drivers and such to be able to downgrade it.

Huh? Seems that the leaked ICS roms for the A500 had no such problems with tegra 2 unless I missed something.
Cannot find a date for us in the UK or Europe
I don't know specifically about the UK, but I guess it's just going to be the same as for Europe.
For France the website "Les Numériques" said it's starting tomorrow until the 27th of april.
http://www.lesnumeriques.com/tablet...-jour-android-4-0-ics-en-approche-n24110.html
I don't know their source, but it looks that the update started yesterday for the A100 and when we look at the Acer America's planning there is a two-day delay between the A100 ICS release and the A500 ICS release, so it seems possible for it to roll out from tomorrow on.
ahahhahahahahaha!!!!!
Finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im now F*cking love you man for tell us about it
im sure that all the a500 owners are wait to long for it

Its very unknown what will happen. If you will even get a fota notice to update or not. then if you do get the notice will it install. will it fail due to unknown version. I WOULD SAY if you are pushed the update Proceed with caution. But if there is a boot loader unlock mech in the update as expected They may not do the data checking as in the past boot loaders..
SO The answer in short is NOBODY KNOWS Until its OUT.
Hope this lack of information is Helpful.

Sounds good to me. Not that the leak isn't any good, just would rather have the official if I don't plan on rooting anyways. I'll wait and see if I read about nightmares or sucess.
Thanks for your reply
I just read on twitter (@Acer_NL) that tomorrow Acer will start unrolling official ICS for all Dutch owners. Maybe some devs could look into this..

I remember my last update was from a link, not automatically pushed to my device. So as soon as an official update is available, I think no matter where you are, you eventually will get it. I don't mind to wait a month or so more, but a definite time table makes me feel settled that we will get that.

You guys know a lot more about this stuff then I do. Im only good at following instructions. Rooted many things and many custom roms, just not on the a500. Just the leak and that's nothing special as all I did was flash the stock rom. I'll wait to hear from the pros.
