Sorry if a new thread wasn't needed but I couldn't find any info on here. I'm usind darkstones froyo with sence and I got an ota update, I've downloaded it and it keeps asking if I want to install it. I haven't yet for fear of messing something up. You know the old if it ain't broke dont fix it. So do you think if I install it it will mess up the custome work he did on the rom or should I be fine? Has anyone els recived an ota update? Thanks for any help.

You won't be able to install it phone will keep restarting.
I used unrEVOked3 to root my phone. I didn't use the permanent one. but now the OTA update to 3.29.651 isn't taking.
Can someone walk me thru this, please.
You need to do some searching before posting, there are a TON of threads with the solution to this.
I will keep looking then... I may not be using the right tags to search this one... it seems like most of the ones that i see are for a different phone. but thanks anyway metalhead.
Just flash a new updated rom via rom manager.
Just manually flash the update and reroot. OTA works dor some and not for others.
You need to do some searching. Unrevoked even tells you how to update.
I am trying to restore my A500 to stock so it will go back to getting the OTA updates. I actually tried downloading one of the "complete" 3.1 updates, but it will not flash over my current 3.1 firmware (which was the one that was leaked a while ago) but it fails. My firmware version for that leaked file seems old compared to what is current and it wont get the OTA update... so thought I would try to go back to stock.
I found a link for the stock update.zip on these forums, but the acer cdn keeps saying access denied when I try to download it. Does anyone have Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 for download or know of a mirror?
+1, my tablet is freaking going bananas right now and I need a solution like asap!?
+1 again.
I'm also waiting for this and cannot find it online or on these forums.
Of Course this is the one i need to and its no where to be found on the internet someone important please help or upload your recovery PLEASE!
Seems a lot of people need this..
Why is this update so difficult/impossible to find?
I have added multiple ROMs to my device and the most recent made the mistake of not doing enough research. All it will do is vibrate at power up and I need the stock recovery to fix.
so far the only help I could give is
check my signature you should find some good files...
someone get back to stock from my files...
maybe I will do a tutorial... but I am lazy... so try to search my post in the weboard, I posted somewhere already.
I just recived the notification of an update available to 3.2.1 build 4.483.01 tor a501.
I have downloaded,saved on the tabled and postponed it because before to install i would like to root it.
I know how to root but i am not able to find were is the downloaded firmware stored on the tablet.
Someone can help me?

I don't remember, but I know it was there. If you got root just start going through the directories until you find it. That's what I recalled doing, or use the find command which I think is in busybox.
Anyway, once you find it would you post it? Others might be interested in it too.
Problem solved.
The file is under cache/fota_dn.
If you can, would be awesome if you posted the update here so the devs could maybe wrangle up another delicious flavour of honeycomb....
Cheers....
Hi,
I've already make a factory reset via settings but the update still can't install... After a little work, a RED "!" icon appears on android when trying to install it...
I'm on STOCK rom and STOCK recovery... very very strange....
Someone can help me?
Thx!
So, when you typed this thread title in did the posts you saw regarding this exact issue not seem like something you should have read?......
really can't understand... someone else had the same problem? Can't find the other post, sorry.... where is it pls?
edit: founded thx
Hello,
I'm sorry, I don't find this thread. I really searched.
I'm in the same case than asder00.
My Transformer is rooted, B50, European, and actually 9.2.1.11 official build.
The only way to update HoneyComb -> ICS was to use the version posted by MrNago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658<br />
Today, I tried to update to 9.2.1.17 build. I received this update, but when my tablet reboot to install it, a triangle appears at approximately 30%. Exactly the same thing than when I wanted to install ICS.
I tried to install official ROM stock ICS of Asus with CWM recovery. Doesn't work (Status 7). No error about the version. I took WW build.
Same with ROM Revolution HD.
But retried with MrNago ROM, It works.
I don't know what to do to recover working updates.
PS : I think to know about which thread you speak.
I have read it. I don't think our problem to asder00 and me (and many others) should be over there. In my case, this impossible installation didn't appear after ICS.
And, those who posted our problem didn't have solution.
PPS : Sorry for my poor english. I'm not a moron. English is not a language I use every day.
Go to this thread and download and flash the file .
Note When you have CWM you cant ota.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551652
Yeah, that's what I've done.
This micro update has worked with this file.
That's right, CWM is installed.
It was not when I tried to upgrade to ICS.
And if this is really source of our problem, I don't know how to remove that.
I have seen a method which match with what I've alreay done (reboot in recovery, install ROM stock... /!\ doesn't worked).
I believe I'm condemned to upgrade with files found over the web.

What did you do to fix this problem (with stock recovery and stock rom)?
I'm having the same issue, red exclamation mark. I never rooted my device.
1. Root
2. Install CWM
3. Flash update through CWM
it's really not that hard.
OK, that's a way. But keep in mind there are customers without knowlegde of rooting and stuff... what about them? The update should work, right?

Then you talk to Asus about it, not here.
Here is a place where people come to find information and learn how to do things.
If you just want a magic one click fix, call Asus.
I was also in a similar situation as you. I went back to stock rom and stock recovery and noticed I wasn't getting the OTA update to 9.2.1.17. Guess what?
I rooted my TF with a root kit found on this website. It literally rooted my TF with a click of a button. It was so easy.
I then installed CWM with an app posted on this website. It was just an APP. All I had to do was run the app and it installed CWM. So frigin easy
Finally, I manually flashed the update through CWM, which was made possible because some nice dude on this website posted a CWM flashable zip for the 9.2.1.17 update.
This entire procedure took less than 30 minutes.

You're totally right about that. I'm just curious what the problem might be. Would be interesting to know.
I'm now going to use the CWM method you suggested.
Same thing.
I would like to know if someone knows why few peoples have this problem, and many others not.
Why, since ICS is came, auto updates doesn't work.
There are solutions, of course. Sometimes we can search 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more. For some people, it's easier than for others.
And what we all are sure, if we call Asus, they don't tell us how to resolve that. They will tell us to send the tablet to them. It's not what we want.
So, if messages like that irritate you, I think you should drink a herb tea.
Or close your eyes, take a full breath, and read another thread.
Because there will be always messages like that.
I don't tell that to provoke you. I would like that you understand that when people have problems, they go where they think to find the best solutions.
