First A500 3.2 but no 3.2.1 - Acer Iconia A500

Hi this is my first A500 tab had it a couple months now came with stock 3.2 question is ive seen people saying the latest fw is 3.2.1 should this be for all A500 tabs or is there only a select thew ive tried updating it but allways saying no update avalible device is up to date and tried again all this week with the ICS supposed to be avalible but getting the same message and plus my market has not updated to the PLAY STORE so is there something wrong with the tab does anybody no thanks in advance

Anybody somebody must no ?

I've had mine about a year and its gone thru all the OTA updates with no problem. Have you registered your tab with Acer?? Do you have your Google account registered? I've had mine rooted a couple of times as well, is yours bare bones?

I'm certainly not a developer, but I can tell that's what Acer has to update the program recommends ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement, which is responsible for finding the firmware update (firmware) that runs Android 4.0.3 and install it. For installation, you must follow to Google Play and install or upgrade the application. Acer company claims that after installing the application will detect your tablet once a new firmware and it will download and then install.
Why do not some of the plates are updated using standard tools, the company does not comment on the Acer.
Video, to understand what to do.

And according samsung.de this is dated 5.1.2011. So it is out for a while
Thats odd os the one downloaded today although it has a lower build number is dated ‎29 ‎January ‎2011, ‏‎23:11:02. The newest part is dated Feb14th.
When I download the update for kies it gets to the dowloading files part and is on 100% but carries on downloading past the 53642kb on something like over 233343 whats wrong with it? Also it keeps asking for internet connection and i click retry every so often? Is there anyway I can download the new version and uninstall the old one rather than updating?
i noticed that this new update is more responsive than the last at least they are improving their apllication

That's happened to me a few times since Kies was first released. The short/kindest answer is that Samsung developers aren't the best...

Daer all,
Yesterday my device offered my the first firmware update.
My current version: Acer_A500_1.016.03_com_gen1
Downloaded version: 1.126.03
I did not update yet because i am aafraid to loose root. So if anybody can tell me where my system download the uodate to i can shar the file with you.
Anybody else already had a update?
Where u located

did you look on the sdcard for an update.zip ?
Most likely it is on the /cache partition. More importantly, in your log will be the URL, search for ota.
I'm on Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7 - nothing here yet
No Update Here Either
A500 from Best Buy bought on May 3 - has FW: Acer_A500_1.104.02_Com_Gen 1
Has anybody deciphered Acer's code for FW Labeling?

No OTA yet even after forcing it to check.
Ken.
Today I received my Acer A500 in Germany, purchased from Amazon through preorder. It's the first Honeycomb to hit the german mass market.
I have Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7
The "E" sounds like it stands for "european" or "Europe" to me, however the only localization I can choose in Settings is "german", while on my other Android devices (HTC phones) the ROMs always contain multiple localizations (or even worldwide like *WWE* ones).
I hope this helps, just started digging through the device and going to root it soon.
If anyone needs any further info regarding this version, which seems to be newer than those being OTA'ed to US customers let me know.
FWIW, I have not yet had any random screen turn-ons so maybe they fixed that.
ugh I need this zip my acer is messed up since I tried that chinese update.zip!

Dear all,
there is nothing in "/chach" and on the SDCard.
I had a look into it with the "Rootexplorer" and commandline, nothing.
I also searched with "Rootexplorer" for "*.zip" but nothing that is coming from me.
Do they maybe use a "hidden" mount?
Where can i find the logs?
did u reboot?

Hi,
yes i did reboot, but the system is still telling me that it want to perform the update and not that it want to downlaod something again.

[Q] another update past 3.2?

so i start using my xoom today, which is the wifi version, rooted on 3.2, and the box pops up and tells me there is another system update. this struck me as odd, because i never saw anything about another system update on xda or xoomforums or anywhere els. could this be an error? or is there really another update? and if there is an update, what are the new features?
thanks
Did you accept and install the update? If so, check your OS build number. The current version is HTJ85B.

If you are rooted on HC3.2, I'm not sure why you would get notification of the update, but that's the latest, and likely to be the last of the Honeycomb version.

I hope there's a 3.2.1 version to be honest - 1 because it's a cool number sequence! lol - and 2 because I want them to push the support non-us keyboard layouts to devices (which moto said would put in their 3.1 update), including support for dorvak layout

we already had 2.3.4
I had the same thing fist time I booted to 3.2. I suspect it's just the ota 3.2 which was already downloaded to your Xoom and it's got a bit confused because it's not installed that download. Anyway, I rejected the update and it's not popped back up since.

new a500 with ICS root question

I just got the a500 in the mail today. during the initial setup I installed the ICS update. Now I want to root the device.
What is the best method to root even though I have ICS installed?
are you saying you got the official download of the ICS update ?

AFAIK there is no root option for OTA ICS and it won't get it until it starts rolling out.

If it was not the official then what? I unpackaged the device, powered it up, started the setup wizard and it told me there was an update 4.0.1 and if I wanted to install it. Seems official enough for me?

ICS OTA for a500 has not been announced. Are you sure you have the a500? Are you sure you know the difference between a 3 and a 4? Did you buy the tablet direct or off ebay?
Without proof, your claim is suspect. Never the less, the question is answered. No, there is no OTA ICS root option for the a500 because Acer hasn't rolled out ICS OTA for the a500 and nobody has a vanilla ICS OTA install for the a500.
The last OTA.. UPDATE from acer was a firmware update with new bootloader to honeycomb.3.2xx xxxx 4.01 .. something like this..
Guys instead of creaming BS .. show him/her how to check
go into settings about and it will show your version and kernel numbers past them back here . Someone will inter pit them for you and show you the true version you are on. Also a screen capture would be nice. you can do this from the acer ring. If you have no acer ring then i say do not bother you are on 3.2.
If you want root there are several procedures in this forum to downgrade to 3.1 bootloader and root just look for how to root 3.2 honeycomb on acer
hope this is helpful

If the OP had proof, they likely would have posted it already. Since proof doesn't exists, those getting roped into the bull**** would be wasting their time, as you did, buying into it. You'd have been better off making a tea instead of playing thread police.
The OP is either trolling, a liar or an idiot. Pick your poison. I, however, am happy to call them out right off the bat instead of playing into their manipulative hand.
Since the OP has no proof, there's nothing to see here.
Didn't you read his reply. 4.01 is Acer's update to 3.2.1 not ICS. He just doesn't know any better he's new to the game. He saw the update started with a 4 and wet his pants with excitement.

What make a person a troll, liar or idiot? Because I choose to ask a simple question? A simple misunderstanding is that I thought 4.0.1 was considered Android 4.0.
So the other persons simple advise showed me to be version 3.1, kernel 2.6.36.3 and build acer_a500_4.010.13_com_gen2.
It must be nice to think you know so much and in reality you know so little...
Indeed he did wet his pants with excitement. Then didn't bother to check to make sure when asked if he was sure. Them's must'a been some pretty wet pants.

It's not a 'simple question' or 'misunderstanding' when someone asks 'if you're sure'.
It's either lying or idiocy when you try to convince people when you don't know any better yourself.

I thought my luck was here at long last.​
I spoke to Samsung couple of days ago and they have no idea when it be released as they have so many network to cater for, they say it will come out but not any time soon so I have returned the phone for same reason.
With the new Variant P even the 3 micro USB jigs will not reset the counter fingers cross they don't check it.
O2 Did not even know last week that the phone they where dispatching was not the same version and insisted that the update was out.

well, its not quite as reliable (a few glitches here and there). it looks nice and so on. haven't noticed a lot of differences. (when signing into an open wifi network, it gives a notification that you need to accept terms and conditions - if that makes sense - which i like). if she isnt a nerd like me, who likes new things, i'd probably say don't bother. But others on here may disagree.
hope this helped

Thankyou ever so much for this!
No problem guys i'd been stuck on custom firmware and managed to update via kies using SpoofFw and saved the file as I knew people had been looking for it for ages including me lol.
I have just bought a used O2 I9100P but when I connect with kies I get:
"your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
Anyone else had this problem?
My device is identified on Kies as... PDA:KJ4 PHONE:KI3 CSC:KJ2 (XXX)
On device info:
PDA : I9100PXXKJ4
PHONE : I9100PXXKI3
CSC : I9100PO2UKJ2
Further to this when I enter *2767*4387264636#
I get:
SELLOUT SMS
[1]Sellout SMS: OFF
[2]PCode:Not Active
[3]Moderod
I also have noticed the imei on about phone does not match the sticker inside the phone.
The phone seems to not be rooted. I have no experience with rooting and flashing.
Any help with getting this phone back to stock GB or ICS and the correct IMEI would be greatly appreciated.
If I flash the Rom you have uploaded above using Odin will my Phone be back to "normal" and work as it should on Kies?
@Darius i don't know but maybe this post/thread could offer an insight. I Googled 'sellout sms' as never heard of it!
