Right now my N7100 is downloading an OTA Update to N7100UBDMH1, but its only 63.25MB. What can this be? The information doesn't say anything about 4.3, so, what is this? I would like to know what I'm installing before tapping Accept.
Any information would be grateful, if not I will try it and post the results.
UPDATE: Well, this is dissappointing. The update didn't made any visible change, is just an internal update with bug fixs. Android is still 4.1.2, no Knox, no nothing. All the world moving foward to 4.3 and here we have this.
Anyways, I hope this would be useful to someone.
Cheers.

This may be a known issue but my wife's (non-rooted, completely stock) A500 has been getting a 4.0 OTA notification since yesterday. It says it's invalid, after downloading it, so I ASSUME it's not actually for this device but is that the case? If it is for the A500, do I need to do a factory reset to get it to update?
Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
What version is it running currently? 7.014.02
I have not seen anything since the 7.014.01/02 releases a few days back.
It would be nice to see Acer taking the lead on releases but I will believe it when it happens. The. 02 release did have a new to me update screen when it installed....
Wowsher
I think I know what one of the issues is- This must have been some really old stock (bestbuy.com) because it's running 3.0.1 and the kernal version is 26.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b. Is it possible that it's somehow "skipping" the OTA updates in the correct order (or maybe they aren't available OTA anymore?) and thus giving me the "invalid" message?
yep would not surprise me at all... you should be able to download from a thread in the rom area a thread by vache has links to almost all of them.
You should probably change the thread title if you can.
Wowsher
There have been others with similar issues.Seems like acer did not and is not pushing the updates to some devices.
I would first call acer if you. Not likely to help but would atleast let them know they have issue.
For a right now fix.
Get iconiaroot. Root tablet.
Get acer recovery installer. Install custom recovery.
Look on forums for a stock 3.1 or 3.2 rom.
You can get a ore rooted rom if you wish but would kill all updates in future.
There are lots of information in the dev forums on step by step instructions and downloads.
Be careful fallow instructions.
Good luck.
The 4.0.xxxx update, is an update for UI. It should come in 2 notifications for stock tablets.
The first, is a preparatory update. The second, is the actual update.
Note, if you have a rooted tab, as some people can tell, it is not advisable to take any OTA update from acer.
In the forum, if you want to take the update, there is a thread which has rooted versions of these updates.
Unrooted my tab and trying to get it back to the latest official version, but I'm having loads of trouble. Please help. Thanks!
My model number is A500, Android version is 3.0.1, kernel version is 2.6.36.3-00001-g44a8bac and build number is Acer_A500_1.145.01_COM_GEN2
This is the tab that best buy had on sale a few weeks/months on sale. Only 8GB of on board storage.
I have found threads with official updates, but don't know which is safe to install. They are all the same version but have different build numbers so I don't know which build number corresponds with my tab
I think I know the answer to this already, but can I jump from 3.0.1 to 3.2.1?
Anyways please help. I do appreciate it.
Thanks!
EDIT: 99 views and no replys? Do you guys not know the answer or are just being jerky? This is seriously my first post let alone question on the acer threads. I usually get things pretty easily, but I am having trouble on this one so it's not like I'm being lazy or asking a stupid question. Can someone help either by providing some answers or let me they don't know how to fix this??
Thanks

Not sure if you're still with us -
interested in knowing why you have not rec'd any OTA before now -unless you've been rooted from the start like i was when i got mine!!!
you also have to be stock, as in factory stock! the update checks a whole lotta stuff before it will install . If the system doesnt stack up the update will fail. So if you have deleted or frozen bloatware apps they will need to be restored, along with modded build props etc. factory data reset and full wipe fixes that problem, but Most people want to keep their data if they can and isn't an option. The update itself should leave everything in place. Mine did.
u need a Gen_2 build. I'm not familiar with your build number or upgrade path for 1.145, but you should receive an OTA for 3.1, 3.2 and the latest 2 for 3.2.1.
if u just wanna install one of the updated custom stock roms with root or cwm, you should be fine with any build and yes you can go straight to 3.2.1 from 3.0.1, but no OTA with these roms

This is a known issue and too many reasons to list. But, basically you are not 100% or it thinks that (checksums different) etc.
So, just flash directly to 3.2.1 GEN2
Mods please close. I was able to fix the issue
I was rooted and had to flash to 3.0.1 or 3.1 before unrooting with the iconia apk. Then I used the acer recovery tool to flash stock recovery. But after flashing stock recovery and unrooting I couldn't get any OTA updates. I re-read some the posts and manually updated to 3.2 after decrypting the zip. After updating I checked for new OTA updates and sure enough found both. Now I'm back to stock 3.2.1. Patiently waiting for ICS
Glad you got it working.
Maybe a noob question but i'm helpless.
I bought a brand new S4 with contract here in Germany, branding- and simlockfree, european model.
The problem is that I'm unable to update for 4.3. The current version on my phone is 4.2.2 I9505XXUDMH5 DBT (open Germany), CSC I9505OXADMH5. I receive no OTA notifications. Kies says that I have the latest firmware. In conformity to sammobile I should receive 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ5.
It's my second s4, the first one was replace due to a minor functionality problem. With the first one I did receive the update, but not with this one.
What am I doing wrong? Any help apreciated. Thanks.
I don't think you are doing something wrong.
as you are german:
http://ukonio.de/samsung-galaxy-s3-...rollout-update-firmware-mobile-digital-42632/
rollout is stopped for s3 & s4
so either you root your device and flash 4.3 or you keep 4.2.2 which is not bad in my opinion.
and for the future it is always a good idea to google your device together with "update" or something and display only news or new pages.
cheers

I suggest that you just keep on trying to OTA update on a regular basis. Samsung spreads OTA updates for a queue so sometimes you have to wait some time.

Just stay on 4.2.2, I had no issue with it, 4,3 is annoying as I'm hounded everyday or security issues plus I didn't notice any improvements either, Wait for 4.4
thanks guys. i'll wait and see.
I'm Rooted, So I can't update via System Update on my phone...
I tried Samsung kies 3 and even it's up to date software It's still saying that my firmware is the latest...
but I don't think It's latest because many of us had recent update on 4.4.4 and sammobile upload some updates for 4.4.4 recently.
I don't know how to update it manually using Odin and I don't know where I could find my specific file to update my phone...
here's my screenshot of my "About Device", I think this could help to track my firmware on sammobile though I don't know how to read it and search for the file...
Please help... I want an update at least for 4.4.4 and It might be a little help for my phone to run smoothly than before...
Thanks in advance...

Use ODIN to flash stock rom
I have the ONA19TB002, and it still has old firmware, as I disabled the Wireless Update, due to reports of it installing software on its own. Malwarebytes really doesn't like that product. Is there a good way of getting updated firmware without potentially unwanted programs being installed? I see someone uploaded firmware, but not sure about trusting that either? Is there an Onn, tech support website or contact information? Thank you.
Does the lack of responses mean it's either take a chance with Wireless Update, or take a chance with uploaded firmware?
Thanks
Use the update here in the forum. I've personally used it a couple of times. It's fine.
I got an ONA19TB002 too stuck on build 20190516. Wireless update installed an update once to fix the audio jack but nothing after that. It didn't take the November OTA from the Stock Backups/Images thread and the 'July' OTA while it installed, nothing really changed as far as I can see. How does one flash the full image?
Anyway one how to update this thing?
