i think it's because root is gone if you update... even itsmagic is not confirmed will work or no..

ok well first off if you are talking about not being rooted and being able to flash down to 3.0 You are probably right because companies block you. But if you are rooted and using something like cwm that doesnt check the zip just lets you flash it then ummm 3.0 is possible. Just need to make sure you use a rooted 3.1 not the stock... So all you impatient bastards wait lol You have been warned.

I went from Stock Rooted Acer to Virtuous Picasso 3.1 and back again multiple times no issue. I am currently running stock rooted. I will probably go back to VP with version 1.0.5 since it is based on actual Acer 3.1 and new kernel.
Edit: Sorry was assuming people talking about rooted 3.0 to 3.1. Of course installing a non-rooted update will potentially wipe out your root. Never update stock ROMs or do OTAs if you plan to keep rooted. Always wait for developers to make a rooted verison available.
People need to be more patient.

no.
i mean, u cant restore 3.0 with update.zip in stock recovery.
because 3.1 has not been rooted,u cant flash CWM recovery.
if u upgrade to 3.1 with original method in stock recovery from 3.0，u cant down to 3.0 with update.zip in stock recovery.

i think acer is going the apple way by not allowing downgrade of version..

can confirm it. have tryed to come back to 3.0 from stock 3.1 without success on the middle of proces got bee with exclamation. now have a problem to get a root for 3.1 stock

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.

No you wont. If you want stock 3.1 you need to go back. Or you can just flash one of the non leaked 3.1 roms using cwm

so if i flash with cwm when its done will i have an un rooted offical 3.1 update

On Thor HC. If I want stock ICS but not lose root should I leave CWM?

I am on Thor which is based off ASUS ROM. As soon as we are supposed to get ICS from Acer I want to revert back to the Stock ICS ROM but not lose root.
If I revert back to stock and take the official Acer update will I lose root?

yes you will lose root ,but there is a tool that may work to re-root it. It is made by Blackthund3r. It worked on the leaked 1.031, and as this has the same build number, I'm assuming it would work. Maybe wait for confirmation of this. If someone who has gotten this update would post the update.zip I would test and report myself, but until then I wait for the OTA

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!
