new radio! thanks for sharing this.

I knew that all the people who were saying that it was offical that we were not getting the update were wrong. HTC never sent out any official notification sayignt that they were not updating the phone it was just some tech support guy's email who was obvioulsy clueless.

Finally. Oh boy here we go.

bring on the source code

Minutes after launch? My replacement phone gets here today unrooted so I might see if I can capture. If its not gb already.

Even if no source yet, we should get a newer radio, and a more optimized kernel!

nvm, found it. Search is a good thing

I think I'm going to hold off until the developers get a chance with it. I'd hate to update to it and loss root temporarily.

I agree with gio. Don't forget that you could possibly lose root!

Technically even a rooted stock sense phone should receive the update as the updater isn't turned off/removed. At least thats the way the Eris worked. Unless unrevoked somehow turns off the updater when it roots the phone which I'm not aware of.

Alot of the Dinc ROM developers did turn off the updater back when the Froyo OTA was announced due to annoying, constant pop-ups. At least I know that rmk40 did with Virtuous.

This just added over at Android Central:
"Just got word about how the over-the-air rollout's going to take place. The push is scheduled to start Tuesday, Aug. 16, with an initial 10,000 updates. Another 50,000 will get it on Wednesday, and everybody else on Friday."

If you made a backup of your phone right after you rooted and before you installed a custom ROM like I did then what I'm saying is if you restore this first backup then you should get the update.

Sweet! So we might see some pretty cool things come tomorrow eh?

What would it cost . . . for 1 click Root.

Just curious. How much it would take to intice a dev to put in the long hours it would take to root 3.2 with a 1 click root product. I'm thinking, those of us who are interested could pitch into a pot and make a collection to go to the first dev who brings us an easy root?
Maybe I'm crazy, but it looks like we are going to have to come up with an incentive to get a rooted 3.2 without having to jump through a downgrade/upgrade hoop.

Best to wait for ICS as it'll be here shortly, then pass the plate around

I too agree ice is to close around the corner to ask anyone to put more time in development for honeycomb. My tablet will stay as is. On a stock rooted 3.2.
The developers all have lives .and will get back motivated when they get something new to play with.

Is ICS Even Guaranteed for the A500? I mean I Know you can load Custom ROM with it and such.. But It runs great with the Stock Rom? Im just curious if ACER is even Planning on Sending out ICS for the A500.

One NEVER knows with Acer, but if they don't, it'll be the last Acer I ever buy.
ICS will be out inside of a month, and the A500 hasn't been out a year yet. If Acer stops support inside of a year, I'll bet others will feel much the same way.

Acer has apparently told Telstra Australia that they are updating A501's to (Android 4) ICS in December. I heard this from a Telstra representative at a store. So its good news I guess.

I think I'll dump Acer anyway... I had a terrible experience with support, switched three A501 and everyone of them has bad pixels. I'll wait for Transformer 2 or Slider and then will see...

Don't they have to? I believe a manufacturer has to support a device with upgrades for 18 months as part of their agreement with Google to have Google apps on their devices

There is no market logic in Acer not updating to ICS. They don't have anything new to sell, so updating the A500 will only increase their sales.

I would still wait for the (near)stock rooted ICS. The chefs do a great job considering the resourses they have, but for me stability is a must and that's what is lacking in the cooked ROMs.

+1 That's why you start with a pre-rooted stock ROM, and cook your own.
Then it's completely setup the way you intend for your own personal use!

As others said, it would be better to wait for ICS. It's not just rooting a stock 3.2 that's the issue, with the new bootloader, you still wouldn't be able to install CWM or custom kernels. So to completely open it up, you'd have to downgrade the bootloader. And there's already a process for doing that.
If your updated to 3.2, just downgrade it to 3.01, root it, add cwm, then install a pre-rooted (near) stock 3.2 ROM.

i havent had a problem yet with a cooked rom or my recooked rom.
Then again i am all about device experimentation so....

I downgraded, rooted, installed CWM *AND* installed Lightspeed in about ten minutes. All of which was done without the aid of a PC - downloaded the downgrade, unzipped with Estrongs, followed the instructions.
If that's too hard maybe you shouldn't be rooting in the first place, because I'll put money on you coming back having broken something.

Followed your example and rooted. One of the easiest roots I've ever done. Thanks.

ICS coming tomorrow! couple questions...

Alright so as we all know the transformer will be receiving ICS tomorrow but i have a couple questions...
1) If we are rooted with razorclaw and apply the update, will we brick our phones or will it just remove root an apply the update?
2) Is there anything we should remove if we are rooted before applying the update?
3) Are you excited to get ICS yourself?!?
4) What are some of the MAIN improvements of ICS to the transformer?
Thanks in advance for any any help!

Yes, very excited. As for the features I think Asus uses the stock ICS without much changes to the UI like TouchWiz. So can't you use this as a reference?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html

1. If you're still on stock then you'll get the update and it will remove root. On a custom rom, you wont have the OTA unless you flash back to a stock rom. You'll have to flash a custom rom with the update if you want to remain rooted.
2. No, the root apps will just simply stop getting root access.
3. Who isnt? Everytime i swipe through honeycomb I feel like getting an iPad
4. Speed is the first along with better memory management. And the improved launcher

So the original TF is getting ICS tomorrow? Does anyone have a link to flash the stock from back on it? I have the Galaxy Nexus and love me some ICS. Thanks in advanced

Well of things I'm cautiously looking forward to is finally getting folders on the desktop, and a gadget screen which hopefully isn't a huuuuuuuuuuge long single line of gadgets.

Seems like asus singapore has conflicting amswers. One says tomorrow the other 12th!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I'm more than a little skeptical that we will see the update tomorrow or later tonight depending on how you factor in the time difference. Outside of that one single post in a discussion thread on facebook, ASUS has not really made any other announcements on it. But who knows we might get lucky and see it tonight/tomorrow.
All of that being said, It is a little annoying to see people ask about taking this update and then hoping for another root method. I don't really understand why people cannot either install ota root keeper or wait for a rooted version of the stock image. What is one or two more hours or even a day. ICS will offer some improvements but I doubt they will be as dramatic as people seem to think it will be.

Depends on how you're rooted. You still get it if you're rooted and are on a stock ROM, it just won't install if you have CWM installed.
If you don't have CWM installed, you'll get ICS and no root and a new locked bootloader. Of course this assumes you're not running a custom (non-stock) ROM. If your not running a stock ROM then you'll never see it.
Anyway, take the OTA you'll loose root and will need to find an ICS exploit to root it.
"Take your stinking locked bootloader of my tablet you damn dirty ACER company"

Yes im runnning a custom ROM, where i can get normal acer ROM. I have checked acer website they only got 3.1 ROM on there website.

Strange to hear that it is slow as colleagues from 7500 forum are really excited with the speed of ICS update (and I believe that firmwares should be almost the same). Have you done full wipe?

Anyone else get this?
I'm one OTA behind, the incremental one that came in about a month ago never installed on my tab.
Thinking of going back to bone stock in order to OTA up to ICS and get the necessary files over to Pershoot but not going to do that if this OTA isn't really rolling out yet.

Yeah, about that--first boot left it somewhat sluggish when scrolling through homescreens & widgets, launching TouchWiz apps and responding to touches. But subsequent reboots seemed to fix that. Browsing in Google Chrome is a VAST improvement over the stock browser in 3.2.

I had checked with Pershoot on saturday and he hadn't heard from jake . . based on jake's past postings I chalk this up to someone being close to Samsung or Verizon development who's unable to share specifics but wanting to leak out a hint of info. Basically confirmation we'll get an update but still no ETA. I for one appreciate the heads up and will continue to wait it out as patiently as I can. Would love to be wrong though, and to find out that he is in fact able to send files off to pershoot. That would be fantastic.
