I just downloaded the update it fires through the unzipping process, then boots into I am assuming some sort of stock recovery. But then I get the red explanation point on the bee. I waited about ten minutes and I hit the power button. It boots up and tells me update failed. Do I need to unrooted before doing the update? Thank you in advance!

Why you telling you received ics update? Upload the update for us and let see if it is ics , I think isn't .
Man that would be nice.

I have never performed an update on my a500 but I would assume that being rooted would affect the update process. Try downloading OTA keeper from the market. It creates a backup of the root and temporary unroots the device. After the update run the app and restore root.
I an not sure how to upload the update. I will try the other suggestion that was made. I didn't think the updates would happen this early but it said 4.010.00. I will do my best to update this if this is ics?

what version of android is running on your tablet? 3.0.1 or 3.2.1?
I'm betting this is just one of Acers 3.2.1 updates. People are always getting confused with their version numbers.
Sorry to say, but you're being misled by the "Build Number" rather than the OS version. The same happened to me in November.
I have a Gateway tablet (variant of the a500). When I first got it, it upgraded itself to "Build 4.010.02". I was excited, as you are, but it was just the Honeycomb 3.2 upgrade, nothing more.
Again, sorry. It's not here yet. I wish Acer would just list the OS version when telling you you have a system update.
ve4grm is right......it's Honeycomb not ICS.....woulda been nice had it been though...
Dang, well thanks for setting me straight. I still wonder though will I have issues doing the update from my stock ROM?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
kinz - i was in the same position as you. that build number really annoying!
But i believe ICS from Acer stock would have build number 7 prefix.
Thank you I guess we'll see in about a month.

I'm still waiting on the update. Dose it matter if I'm rooted or not and wll I lose root when the update hits?
I have had no update to my firmware as of yet.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
2 things. Did I miss the update being released? And I have yet to load a leak because I need infrastructure wifi. The update will remove your root and you will need to re root after you get it. Also, the update probably won't install ota if you aren't running stock rom/kernel. At least the other updates haven't installed with modified stuff.

I've been using the quantum rom for a couple days now and the only problem I've had so far is it force closes when I try to use my flashlight program. Other than that everything works great so maybe you should flash it if you want 2.2 right now.

the OTA hasnt been pushed yet. if you are rooted already, you will lose root.
if you're not running custom ROM/kernel you won't get the OTA.

I stand corrected.. oversight on my part. Custom ROM/kernel will not get the OTA notification.
If you have the stock ROM/kernel, you'll get the OTA notification.
If you're rooted and using stock ROM, you'll lose root. Might lose custom recovery as well, but I'm not sure on that.
What I'd recommend, if you ARE rooted and you have custom recovery (clockwork), then wait for the release (like we all are) and it WILL show up here.
The Devs/chefs are all over this and waitng just like everyone else.
Patience is the key.
I flashed back to 2.1 stock last night. I'm going to wait for 2.2 OTA before I root again. Then I will wait a couple weeks until some nice stuff gets cooked up here on xda and is nice and stable before I flash any custom 2.2 items. I can wait.
I'm pretty sure everyone is waiting..
Yeh I guess ill just wait...guy at the sprint store promised 2.2 by the end of october and 4g by the end of november. I guess they will say any thing to sell a phone -__-

I have been twiddling my thumbs for weeks waiting for the 2.2 OTA update. I got so impatient one night that I started downloading the necessary tools to root and install a leaked 2.2 version, but quickly settled down and decided to wait it out.
I also downloaded Samsung Kies; I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and the program will not boot from the .exe under any conditions (as administrator, under XP compatabilities, etc)... I have yet to even be able to see the program's interface or find any legitimate documentation for troubleshooting the software.
No complaints with the phone yet, but I am seriously disappointed that I have had to wait so long for 2.2... Samsung claims that this update will allow for quicker future Android updates, but I am taking that with a grain of salt considering the false announcements that have been made so far regarding its official release.

The only thing I dont like about the leaks is the lock screen lag.... If it wasn't for that I would be using it everyday!
Just FYI anyone waiting for the xoom update it hasn't been successful for me yet but i will try every couple of hours. If you manually set the date to a farther ahead date say a couple days your xoom will check for an update. i noticed the time changing everytime i do it under system updates. So anyone wanting to force an update check change the date you can always just re check auto time.
Poop I Want it now.... is it including the bluetooth mouse support?
Just did this and update started downloading. Installing right now!

dev forums mention that you loose SU and have to redo the rights but then good to go.
just did this as well, tried it two times in two minutes.
First, nothing happened but the time changed for the last update.
Second time when I clicked the system updates under settings it popped up saying I had a new update.
Downloading now, well see how my rooted wifi only handles it!
Just finished... And nothing happened. I am still on 3.0.1, this happened earlier when I got an update notification and clicked install now or whatever.
Anyone know why this might be?
3.1 has a "check now" button.
The OTA update won't go through if you're rooted. Flash using one of the methods in the development section, or return to stock and wait for the OTA all over again (which is what I did.)
Did anyone update and not have it work? I installed the update and everything seemed to go well but after I checked about tablet section and it still says that it is 3.0.1. I am rooted running an older version if titamat. Haven't messed with it yet, at a first communion but was hoping someone had this problem

You download it to your sd card and boot into ACER RECOVERY to initiate the update. you have to come from a certain build in order to use it though. Visit Vache's thread regarding OTA updates for more info.

Downloads fine. Right click and save target as to wherever you want.
Be responsible and read up before you try to update unofficially.
.10 is an incremental update for .08 which is a US Version of 3.1.
If you attempt going from .38 or .40 which are foreign versions, you'll likely end up messing something up or having issues later on regarding apps, the market or future updates.
Likewise, if you attempt going straight from 3.0.1 to 3.1 using this update, you'll likely end up in misery.
Read, read, read. You've been warned.
Good Luck.
Update:
It's come to my attention through user qhinton that there is a full ROM update of .10. Note that the file kappen has posted is the INCREMENTAL and not the FULL ROM.
I have not verified qhinton's claims. Just keep in mind that you must now be extra careful not to update with the incorrect version. You may just be better off waiting for the OTA.

That is VERY interesting indeed, let me get this straight, you went from 1.141.02 (3.0.1) to 4.010.10? (3.1)
How big was the file you got?
I haven't read of a single other person getting such an update. Once I am able to verify what you've said I'll draw some conclusions. If it is the case then .10 must come in a 2 flavors and people will have to be even more careful about how they update.
It would mean there's an incremental (~47MB) version to take people from .08 and a full ROM to take people from anything earlier than .08.
Edit: OK you answered my question while I was typing it
So there are definitely 2 versions then, an incremental and a full ROM. Thanks for the information. I'll update my previous post.

Please download alogcat from the market and run during acceptance of the update so we can log the ota location and make it available to the less fortunate.
If you can't figure out alogcat, Whenever you get an update prompt on your tablet, look in the /cache/recovery of your tablet while it's downloading and copy and paste the filename somewhere then you can post it publically and it can be downloaded from something that looks like this - http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_...xxxxxxxxxx.zip
I had 4.010.04 when it downloaded after I posted this I tried to apply it and got a error I just assumed it was because I was still rooted and had the Acer recovery flashed on my a500. I was at work so left it alone until I could get some more free time.

You could try doing a factory restore of your tablet in the system settings/privacy menu. This worked for me. It will wipe all your settings and installed applications so be forewarned.
I am beginning to NOT trust these Acer updates. My A500 was brand new out of the box and had just applied a small OTA update. I had to factory reset it again after that for the larger 330mb update to work.

Just updated my firmware. It's a little over 175mb if I remember right, and there seem to be decent changes in the OS with the design and settings. And swype's back too! It's also more tablet customized.
Anyways, do check it out, and maybe someone will detail the changes.
Oh, FYI, my build number is HMJ37.UEKME P7510 UEME

Locks the bootloader?
I applied the update today, I notice that the padlock icon at boot time is gone, and during the install there was a message about "disabling the JTAG interface"
Doers this indicate my bootloader is now locked?
If you flash an official update over a rooted ROM, it locks it back. Tsk tsk tsk. Read the information next time. Now all your left is to test current root method on your version or wait for someone to root that version and post it.
Anyone else in the US not getting the OTA in their Gen2? Wondering if I just have to go the manual route. I've been out of the loop lately, is there the OTA update available to download and use stock recovery to update?
Thanks,

Do you have the Iconia Update Enhancement installed from the play store?
I was also not getting, talked to the support few minutes back, they suggested factory reset, I said no thanks and did the manual upgrade downloading the zip file from here.
Wife got the update the day it came out. Make sure you have the acer update app. Location Northeast GA. Both hers and mine were gen 2 HC devices.
