Make sure you have root as well as bootstrap installed. Then reboot into recovery and select file. Afterwards check su root.

Some have been having problems with sms timestamp... I haven't heard of any real fixes yet.
I used to work for TiVo on the firmware side of things and I can honestly say that with how CLOSE together these builds are, I wouldn't be surprised to find this NEWER leak has no fixes or even some other issues that were not seen in the first leak.

Which model do u use...?
The a500 or the a501?
I think a downgrade would be the safest alternative =P

I too am having this problem. Unfortunately, every time I try to downgrade using a stock 3.1 ROM using the stock recovery it will not boot and since CWM is gone I cannot restore to backed up ROM.

this is a prime example why it is always best to wait until the devs get their hands on the update. You are just going to have to wait till the root programs and CMW are updated to work with the new build. Early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

@amburke178
Yeah its true u better should be patient...
I dont know whether the devs are working on it..but a downgrade to 3.0.1 or3.1 would solve the problem... there are various ROMS/ custom ROMS..
To my sorrow i almost used every rom they offered in the dev section..
One Rom should work..if not try to be patient... =D

i think it is because of the new bootloader. Your best bet at this point is to just wait for the new root program to come out. Shouldn't take them that long for it. Don't know about the itsmagic update that could take time, but everything would speed up if anybody would upload the new build so the devs can start looking at it.

I captured the 3.2 update when it came in to my tablet, I have the update.zip and would gladly share it if it helps get root faster.
Not entirely sure the best way to share a 350meg file though!
File I have is an update from 4.010.38 (3.1) to 7.006.01 (3.2) (file claims to be Acer_A500_4.010.38_7.006.01_COM_GEN1)
I can probably put it on some webspace for someone, but I'm afraid if I post it publicly my bandwidth limit will be quickly exceeded.

Of course that occurred to me about 10 seconds after I hit submit...
So I have uploaded it to megaupload...
Unfortunately this forum won't let me post external links... so I can't tell you how to find it!
edit: ok, finally I can post links, so I'm updating this: www.megaupload.com/?d=UXOVADAS
This update comes from 4.010.38 to 7.006.01 so you'll need to be on 4.010.38 first to do the update. (that one can be found in the master ROM list on this site at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 )
---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------
Hopefully this allows some of the developers to start playing with rooting 3.2
Additionally for anyone who has managed to brick their tablet trying to downgrade to an earlier version, this file can be used to get you back up and running (at least it worked to get me back up after I tried to downgrade to 3.1)

Thanks for the upload

Ahh! Thanks so much I was using an A501 3.2 update since I had bricked it earlier today. This will help much with the stupid wifi dropouts.

Made a mirror : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=91

no problem, please feel free to share to anyone who can help make root a reality for 3.2!
(I miss my root... and downgrading doesn't really appear to be an option right now...)
I also note that you maintain the list of packages and updates at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878

[Q] Iconia A500 3.2 update - Bee with Exclamation sign above

Iconia A500 3.2 update - Bee with Exclamation sign above.
Im running the update and when the device reboots and as it progresses a honeycomb bee with a triangular sign with an Exclamation mark in it appears...
The installation does not progress any further and i have no idea what to do. I can reset my system but it says update fails and continues on 3.1.
Any ideas/thought/suggestions?

If you care about root and having CWM installed I would not update to stock 3.2 using OTA. Just grab one of the 3.2 updates in the development thread so you can retain root. But if just want plain stock 3.2 and you have CWM installed, you need to revert back to the stock recovery first otherwise it will fail.

Same problem wihout root. Any suggestions what the problem could be?

im thinking if it's because you have a rooted device? I had the same thing. But do not ever update to 3.2 OTA. I would recommend a stock rooted 3.2 in the Development thread. Easy flash. Flying rom.

Just to be clear. You installed a ROM that was made for the GTab, and not made for the A500, or you installed a custom ROM for the A500 based off of the GTab?

I own an A500 but I installed a custom Rom based off the GTab

OTA Update 7.014.1

Tonight i received a notification that there is an update available OTA for my A500.
Version announced is 7.014.01
Where's the update file supposed to be downloaded to?
I tried to apply it, but there was an error somehow. In the middle of the update process a red triangle popped up. How can I examine the update file better?

Are you rooted? My experience is that most devices will notify you of an update just by version checking, but will fail if rooted because the files the upgrade expects to have in place have changed due to rooting. So you have to either go back to stock, lose root or wait for someone to create a new rooted ROM with this update intragrated.

For sure.
Or, it's possible all of that updates have been implemented with some of custom ROMs, like the new Market version, e.g..

I pulled the patch and decrypted it. I pulled the update.zip file now I'm trying to see what I need to do to it to make it flashible through CWM.

If you have a custom rom installed you cannot flash an official update. Also if you have a custom recovery installed it will also fail as official updates can only be flashed via stock recovery. This official zip file would need to be deodexed etc then compiled by a chef to be flashed via cwm.

I think so it works like stock recovery but with more options , it is the update script that tells where everything needs to be.
But make sure you remove recovery from update and that you add su(superuser) in bin or xbin with the proper permissions for root or you will lose it.

I don't know why acer is sooo slow spreading their patches... I've heard there is one running for at least the last month and no news here.... damn. I hope the ICS update will be faster when it's done.

Not sure, but they came back-to-back from what I heard from non-rooted users. Got the first one, and then immidietly got the next one when it booted back up.
To me, that says, first update had some minor bug that they found, or remembered, and then fixed, but since some had already updated to .01, they had to just re-patch that one...?
Maybe you could logcat where the first one comes from, and get the second one from the server? I dunno, I'm not a dev, I know just enough to get myself in trouble...

I used the Acer Recovery app and dropped back to 3.0.1 and restored stock kernel.
From there I just did a System Update check and it pushed me OTA to 3.2.
I'm Now waiting for the 4.0.1 to be pushed to me in Ottawa, Canada.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...pbnRlcnBoYXplLkFjZXJSZWNvdmVyeUluc3RhbGxlciJd

I actually tried the Acer Recovery App last night on my rooted device and all it seemed to do is change the recovery screen and if you don't already have a backup of the stock rom in place it will sit there and do absolutely Nothing. I had to find the update.zip last night which was a total pain. If you want it just PM me and I will see about getting that file over to you if you want. Or I can attempt to upload it some where just give me a little bit. Granted the one I have if I recall correctly is 3.01 but still you just update a few times to get to 3.2.1

Good question, I was on a custom HC Rom so I am not 100% certain on that. I will post the link to download it from drop box when it is done so you can try it if you want. I mean I assume it would considering all it is doing is dropping you back to 3.01 but than again I have no idea if it would get kernel conflict issues and what not.
Edit: Actually I think I was on one of Thor's ICS Roms awhile back and all I did was Flash a different HC Rom and back to HC I went than last night I restored the whole thing to Stock considering I want to get the OTA so my assumption is it "SHOULD" work.

Just rename the thing to update.zip when I put the link up and stick it on the root of your sd card memory and it should as far as I know see it with the stock recovery.

You renamed the file to update.zip instead of 3.1update.zip right? Also you have it on the root of your sd card? If that doesn't work try one of the root methods for the leaked ICS than install CWM and try it that way.

Also it is a gen2 USA ROM so if your on a device other than that it might not work.
If you are go ahead and try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Vache has a bunch of OTA Recoveries there that I assume still work.
Edit: Checked the links and they seem to all download, just tried a couple to check. Also the EMEA ones as far as I know are for the European devices I Think. The COM ones I think are strictly US. Not sure exactly how that part works but anyway there they are for you if going via CWM Doesn't work.
