I got my tablet about 10 days ago, and registered it about 5 or 6 days ago. I leave it on and plugged in every night with wifi on, and despite doing manual checks for updates all the time, I'm stuck on 7.006.01_COM_GEN1, which is 3.2, not 3.2.1 - it simply says no update is available. I called Acer support and they said I needed to just wait a little while more, but this update rolled out a long time ago. How long will I need to wait for the update, is this normal?
Thanks!
As the same problem i've.
Alredy try to restore different image but after OTA update i stuck with 3.2 firmware !
I called ACER and they requide me 50€ to restore the system or wait the next update (ICS) in April.
At the moment i'll try the new ICS ROM leaked from ACER and it appear work very fine !
If it makes you feel any better, after doing some digging it appears as though the problem may hopefully resolve itself after a few weeks, it seemed to for a couple of people with the same problem I did some looking on.

I turned my Hero on for the first time in months and the official update to 2.1 thing popped up (I'm still on 1.5 since I bought a Desire awhile back and haven't used the Hero), so I figured I might as well update it, so I downloaded the update and I was right in the middle of doing something so I clicked "remind me later" instead of "install now", and it hasn't reminded me. Is there any way to initiate the install now?
Hi there
Try moving the date few weeks/months in the future
hope this helps

Thanks, got it
Took an OTA update this AM in the US, but nothing seemed to change. Switched back to stock recovery, took update, downloaded, installed (no errors), rebooted, message said somethings about a Pre-Install APK, then nothing. Tablet info says I am now up to date, but nothing else seems to have changed.
I'm still on custom kernel (thor's), still on 3.1. I forget the GEN info, but I don't think that changed either.
Was this a pre-update update?
I got the update too.
Seemed to freeze up on me after installing (Gave it about 15 minutes on a black screen after installing, before I gave up). I had to power it off and back on. After booting, I got a message that the "Update Was Successful"
Kernal Number is: 2.6.36.3
Build is 4.010.13_COM_GEN2
But still Android 3.1
Ditto. Used stock recovery and unroot to get it to install. It's Gen 2.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Same here, updated with no errors. Didn't lose root and it still says 3.1
With the update to 3.1 they sent out a smaller update a few days earlier. This one may be the same thing.
It's just a small update, about less than 20MB download. But I have no idea what's been changed.

System Update
System Update 4.010.13
(14.49MB).
A new system update is available for your device. A network connection is required to download and update your device. You may incur additional charges from your service provider. Thank you for not replacing me with the HP TouchPad.

i'm gonna hold off on installing this until i know more of what its all about...
I uploaded the zip in development, I don't think I'm gonna install either...
I also installed the 14MB update today. The tablet was rooted, but otherwise stock. After the update the tablet remains rooted. I have experienced no other issues.
Cheers,
A
I had the same experience as above. So far no issues.
This actually made me worried about the possibility of us to get an update to 3.2 on 8/25. Otherwise, they should just pass this incremental.
I just purchased the A500 and have successfully updated 7.014.01 and then when I try and update to 7.014.02 I get Update Failed message. Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it? Tech Support recommends that I send it back, but it will take 2-3 weeks and it will be a royal pain and will be my last resort.

I'll assume this is the 3.2.1 update as it usually comes in 2 update files.
I'll guess your 2nd update download was corrupted somehow. Probably a good thing, as some people had bricked tab's as a result of a failed update.
If your tab runs fine, don't worry about it, and ignore the update. They'll probably just give you another tab, and you'll go through the same thing again.
Not really a whole lot in the 3.2.1 update anyhow. Only thing I noticed, is a slight difference in screen sensitivity and just a touch smoother in the app drawer. Other than that, no other real performance gains.
In a few months, they'll push the ICS update. So it will all be moot.
But, if you really want to do this small update, you'll have to root, install CWM recovery, then flash a rooted update manually. I think TimmyDean posted these awhile back, but not sure.
Or, you can just flash a 3.2.1 custom rom.
But if your tab runs ok, and you don;t want to come to the dark side, then forget about it and wait for ICS.
Since I didn't see any news about this, I think that it's an error on my phone. I just got another OTA update with a size of 1,8 MB.
I already installed the tiny update 1-2 weeks ago, but in the end the updating progress said "Failed". However, after a reboot, it didn't offer any updates again, so I thought it would be good - now what's up with this update? Is my phone trying to install the update again?
I'm using stock recovery and image on a rooted Nexus 4.
I have completely stock ONN 8 that I've had since launch. It has never received an OTA, and in the past trying to update it with the OTA updates in another thread never worked. For the first time today, the tablet had a notification that there was an OTA update available. The notification says the update has been paused and click resume to continue. When I click "resume" nothing happens and it goes back to paused a few seconds later. I tried factory resetting the tablet and using several different networks, and it will not download the OTA. Any ideas?

Same behavior for months. Spent time trying to resolve and came to the conclusion the back end mechanism to notify and initiate OTA's is on a different platform (server, url, whatever) than the delivery mechanism. The latter appears to be non-responsive; no one is watching the hen house.

Thanks. My suspicion was that it was server related.
There's like a new update ONA19TB002_20200416.
EDIT Even downloaded and installed. Kind of regret using that Mediatek tool to install 2019111 from the stock/image/ota thread as ever since then the wifi's mac address keeps changing on each boot or wifi is turned off/on.

Interesting. Maybe someone will grab the OTA fie and upload it. Unfortunately, it probably won't do me much good, as my tablet doesn't have the November update installed.
I would avoid the update if you can - I came home last night to find mine updated and the screen was mirrored (everything is backwards, including text). A forced reboot didn't do anything. It's basically like looking at it through a mirror as everything is backwards. The odd part is, the touch locations are still in their original locations. So if on the screen, an app is now on the left side (again, backwards), I have to touch the right side of the screen to use it (with the same behavior inside the app - controls all backwards). The update basically made my tablet useless. 100% stock.

My update is still "paused". At this point I don't really care. This tablet is so slow it is virtually useless. I doubt an update is gonna make it any better anyways.
My FOTA doesn't even give any updates, just that it's "fully updated." I wonder if I got a test model, as it also came with a multitouch test, had a chinese "factory mode", and had a strange MTK debug mode when I tapped custom build mode.
My unit had an FOTA to the May 2019 but no more updates while on that firmware. The Nov FOTA from the Stock Backups thread wouldn't take and I had to flash the full stock image. It gave me the April 2020 when they released one.
New Update
I know this thread is old, but I received a new update today. It has the July security patch, and the kernel is dated 8/14/2020. It's the first update that actually installed since I got this tablet at launch last year.
Does anybody know how to overcome the problem of getting the latest OTA. I get an error after reboot and trying to flash it, here is the log:
script aborted: unable to use metadata to correct errors
/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.MSDC0/by-name/system image corrupted, attempting to recover...
script aborted: unable to use metadata to correct errors

25.10 solved the problem by reflashing the stock image from may 2019
