I have a Similar Question.. Im In the US though.. But I have the stock rom.. Not modified.. But it is rooted with the Gingerbreak app...
Does this need to be undone to get the update.. or are updates still enabled with it being rooted?

Same here in Canada. No OTA notification, rooted stock 3.01.

I was rooted when I received my notification. If you don't want to lose root and are sick of waiting on the update please see this post to flash the official OTA using CWM:
ROM - Stock 3.1 4.010.07 - Update with CWM

I was able to receive an OTA before when I was rooted (not 3.1 though) so it's most likely that the update is not available in your regions yet.

If you are stock (non-rooted), then you have to wait.
If you want to root, and install a backup manager (CWM or RA) then you can flash a stock rooted 3.2.1 Rom, or a custom 3.2.1 Rom.

i know that i just want to know if i can update my device without rooting or wait for acer to wake up
I wont to keep it stock for now

No I believe your stuck then until Acer gives an ota one srry

[Q] How do i install flexreaper on my a500???

i want to install flexreaper ROM on my acer a500. how do i do that?
i am on stock HC 3.2.1, not rooted or anything.
do i need to upgrade to ICS first to flash the ROM?
Thanks.

Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18503406 to root your tablet then install ROM of your choice.
I would suggest reading all instructions through at least twice.

if youb prefer stock flash a stock rom and get the ota

If you want to go back to stock, install one of the ROMs from here.
If you want to update to a newer custom ROM, then you will most likely have to unlock your bootloader. I think you have to install a newer stock ROM first though. This thread has a guide to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks,
I just flashed a stock ROM and did the OTA update, worked perfectly!

[SOLVED] Please Help A501 stuck at acer logo.

Hey guys maybe you heard this problem 100 thimes but its a kind of special because I have got CWM Recovery from thor2002ro.
I cant install any rom original or any other every time it stucks on acer logo....
I tried to format cache and Isearched in several theards but didnt found anyting.
First I tried to flash custom rom like in this video:
(HD) Root Your Acer Iconia A500/A501 from Honeycomb 3.2/3.2.1 Sry but i cant send links :/
I installt the 3.0.1 and i rooted my device sucessfully but after I installt the Little_Honey_3.2.2 my iconia stuck at the acer logo and didn't came out yet.
Please help i am lost without my tablet.

Honeycomb roms need to run on hc boot loader.
ICS Stock/OTA roms need ics stock bootloader
Custom ICS/JB xda roms require skrilax_cz unlocked bootloader v8 or v9.
You need to make sure you flash the correct recovery, rom and bootloader combination.

Thank you for your help, I got the CPUID using Ubuntu, then installed Skrilaz's V8 Bootloader and flashed the Alexandra IV ROM.
