Hello All,This is my first ever post.I have read numerous posts on here and have found most of them very informative.I wanted to let anyone who was interested know that I have an Australian 3G/Wifi (not locked to any carrier) and wanted to get ICS (I couldn't wait several months for it to be released to my model).So I flashed to stock US Wifi (MZ604) HWI69 and from there upgrade via OTA to ICS. I have tested a number of apps over the last 2 days and everything seems to be working great. I'm pretty happy that I've got ICS and it is faster, not mind-blowing, but is faster.Thanks.
PS. Apologies if this should be posted in another thread.
How about 3g on your device? It working?
No. It is now only capable of WiFi. That is the drawback, but I have got ICS which is worth it.
Flash it with Team EOS XOOM ICS 4.0.3 umts_everest MZ601
And get your 3G back
Thanks Queb. I'm interested.
Couple of questions for you though:
1. Does your ROM have all the stock apps or have you removed some?
2. How stable is the ROM? Are some features not working yet?
3. Any chance your ROM has overclocking to 1.2 maybe 1.5?
Could you also please provide me with a direct link to your ROM thread/location.
Cheers.
Have a look at this thread, should answer all your questions

hi May I ask how did you upgrade? did you flash the US WiFI SBF using RSDlite? I also have a stock MZ601 3G and want to upgrade to US WiFi. I do not care about 3G working.

Unrooted my tab and trying to get it back to the latest official version, but I'm having loads of trouble. Please help. Thanks!
My model number is A500, Android version is 3.0.1, kernel version is 2.6.36.3-00001-g44a8bac and build number is Acer_A500_1.145.01_COM_GEN2
This is the tab that best buy had on sale a few weeks/months on sale. Only 8GB of on board storage.
I have found threads with official updates, but don't know which is safe to install. They are all the same version but have different build numbers so I don't know which build number corresponds with my tab
I think I know the answer to this already, but can I jump from 3.0.1 to 3.2.1?
Anyways please help. I do appreciate it.
Thanks!
EDIT: 99 views and no replys? Do you guys not know the answer or are just being jerky? This is seriously my first post let alone question on the acer threads. I usually get things pretty easily, but I am having trouble on this one so it's not like I'm being lazy or asking a stupid question. Can someone help either by providing some answers or let me they don't know how to fix this??
Thanks

Not sure if you're still with us -
interested in knowing why you have not rec'd any OTA before now -unless you've been rooted from the start like i was when i got mine!!!
you also have to be stock, as in factory stock! the update checks a whole lotta stuff before it will install . If the system doesnt stack up the update will fail. So if you have deleted or frozen bloatware apps they will need to be restored, along with modded build props etc. factory data reset and full wipe fixes that problem, but Most people want to keep their data if they can and isn't an option. The update itself should leave everything in place. Mine did.
u need a Gen_2 build. I'm not familiar with your build number or upgrade path for 1.145, but you should receive an OTA for 3.1, 3.2 and the latest 2 for 3.2.1.
if u just wanna install one of the updated custom stock roms with root or cwm, you should be fine with any build and yes you can go straight to 3.2.1 from 3.0.1, but no OTA with these roms

This is a known issue and too many reasons to list. But, basically you are not 100% or it thinks that (checksums different) etc.
So, just flash directly to 3.2.1 GEN2
Mods please close. I was able to fix the issue
I was rooted and had to flash to 3.0.1 or 3.1 before unrooting with the iconia apk. Then I used the acer recovery tool to flash stock recovery. But after flashing stock recovery and unrooting I couldn't get any OTA updates. I re-read some the posts and manually updated to 3.2 after decrypting the zip. After updating I checked for new OTA updates and sure enough found both. Now I'm back to stock 3.2.1. Patiently waiting for ICS
Glad you got it working.
Hi Has anybody got a link for a untouched stock ICS rom for a UK gen1 device needs to be for the uk tab's has the gen 2 usa ones keep messing up my wifi
Thanks in advance
Any one ?
Bump Has anybody manage to capture the OTA update of ICS update.zip on there uk device who are willing to share and post
For me the OTA ICS messes up Wifi anyway, It seems to have a mind of own.
If i can find an easy backtrack i will revert back to the stable Honeycomb.
Nothing yet?
hi, my brother and me, we ve got two acer iconia a500 with 32gb.
my brother rootet his iconia 1 month ago and installed an ics rom.
now i bought my rom with normal firmware and no root.
i updated it to 4.0.3.
now my brother wants the official firmware on his iconia back.
is there a release of the ofw or is it possible to make a backup of mine
and he flash this rom to his iconia (so its nearly the same)
im looking forward for a positiv answer
Hi there,
Best bet would be for your brother to revert back to stock honeycomb and then allow the OTA updates to update him to the official ICS. There are many guides here on XDA on how to do that. That is likely the safest bet based on what bootloader he might be running etc.
can you please give me a link for a guide to getbstock rom back. hard to find something, aspecially when you are german
I went back to stock 3.0.1 and did updates up to 3.2.1 then i install Iconia tab update from the playstore when i got upto 3.2.1 then checked for updates again and it pushed ICS to my tab hear is the link method one worked for me method two did not let me update i kept getting the your device is upto date message. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
Method two would be the best if you are not able to get your cpuid did not work for me but might do for you good luck need anymore help post back hear.
Hi all. Could someone point me to the official Samsung HC 3.2 file?
On Sammobile there are 3 listed, not sure which one is correct.
For a US 7510, wifi only.
Flashed to ICS, and while it's very nice oveall, a few quirks, so I want to flash back to 3.2 and see
what the OTA update brings.
Thanks!
ETA: Or post the correct file number so I know which one to d/l from sammobile
Thanks again.
Why in the hell would you want official hc when there is available official ics
The region does not matter at all.. It's the same software and hardware for everyone.. Gosh I don't know why people gets obseced about regions...
Wanna know something? I bought my tab in canada(north america) , I live in Venezuela south America and my tab its running official ics from Italy(europe) .. And guess what... It works the exact same way like every other tab in the world... And has the same exact features

As I posted, I flashed ICS and too many quirks for now.
My tab on 3.2 worked perfectly, doesn't on ICS.
Seems that Motorola has finally decided to update the Xoom tablets in UK to ICS... Sooo Happy!!
motoask.com
I just reflashed my MZ601 to stock to try and get the OTA.
I have done all the honeycomb OTA now, but the ICS OTA still isn't available.
Any ideas?
(UK Xoom on 3)
Or does it need to be re-locked to get the OTA?
No i flashed my wifi xoom to the europe 3.1 the other day and updated to 4.0.4 with the bootloader unlocked
Arrrrgggghhhh why am I not getting it!
Please Delete.
same problem here in germany.
moto support has proposed to send my xoom to the service station to let them do the update, but thats no solution for me.
dont know why nobody just upload a nandroid to let us flash the new radio.

Has anyone experienced the same problem we have here? http://www.android-hilfe.de/motorola-xoom-forum/267519-fehler-problem-nach-dem-ics-upgrade.html
After the update german language is missing and spell correction only seems to know the own words. :crying:
