Anyone in Canada got the OTA update (OTA, not the download)?

If you did get it where are you and which gen?

Gave up waiting so downloaded and installed the OTA that is posted here - install went perfectly and everything works.

Nothing yet. Keep getting wifi network failure error as noted on the acertabletforum.com forum. Hoping acer will fix this. I'd like to see the tablet work as intended. If I have to force the updates again like I did for 3.2 ill be pissed .

Yeah, it's tempting but I'll wait for a while. So far 21 views for this thread and no one's said "I got the OTA." It looks like it's not rolling out here yet.

Nada for Alberta...
I've been hitting "System update" every hour on the hour since midday Thursday. Nothing where I am in Alberta. I've seen some conflicting messaging on when Canada will be getting the OTA. The Acer site says 04-27, I've seen elsewhere 05-03.
I'm itching to get on with it. Downloading the posted update.zip on XDA now. Still haven't decided if I am going to use it.
And to keep the focus on the OP, if anyone has received the OTA please share the GEN. I'm assuming it's the same one posted, but ya never know.

Got it on wifes tab yesterday here in BC. GEN_1
Had to get update to Iconia Tab Update tool to see the upgrade.

I've had the same update utility installed for a month. It's brought no joy in Toronto.

Same here in Nova Scotia.

Things have changed
I have recently hit the update tab and I am no longer getting the wifi message... now back to "your up to date" ... with no ICS ... I think it will be here soon... or maybe I am just an optomist

This is very odd since I am in Halifax and got my OTA on the 27th. I had stock 3.2.1 rooted (had to remove root or the install failed).
Before build: Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2
After build: Acer_AV041_A500_1.0333.00_PA_CUS1
When you eventually get the upgrade, you get an offer to "install now" or "install later". Choose the "install later" option or when your root causes the install to fail you will have to re-download the 400mb file again.
BTW, this combination listed above has none of the bugs or issues listed in other OTA release upgrade threads.

Did anyone else see this.... about speeding up the upgrade...

My current build: Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1
I am wondering if because your's was 02_COM_GEN_2 that is why you got the update and I haven't? I am also in Nova Scotia.

Well, this evening I pulled the trigger on Update.zip with my stock unrooted rom. It went flawlessly and al my dozens of apps seem to be functional. It's much more zippy and responsive than HC. I'm impressed.

There using 1 server to distribute. So expect throttling for a bit. The US ones are still going strong, know several who are getting the updates fine.
Best they do this to avoid corrupted data in updates. Otherwise more peopel need to distribute the offcial regional builds.
DOn't want a HTC repeat of an issue where phones ended up bricked.

5 days of waiting. . . . . .

I also have a GEN1 A500 from Canada, specifically build Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1 and I got impatient waiting for the OTA update so I installed the Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 update from the bottom of the first post on this page. I had no problems at all completeling the update and everything seems to be working fine with ICS.
The Op is actually linking straight to Acer's official update server with the ICS links in that post. Remember that if you choose to download these official ROM's you'll need to decrypt the downloaded zip file with the tool mentioned at the top of the first post and follow the rest of the instructions in the How to use full/update package in that first post as well.
If you stick it out and wait for the OTA I am curious as to what build you finally end up with. My build after the update above is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Still nothing here in Toronto wow!!! Acer Fail!!!!

Acer Chat @ 4:55pm (Atlantic)
Acer: Hi, my name is ****** *********. How may I help you?
Me: Hi, I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and was wondering when the update to Ice Cream Sandwich would be available to me? I'm still unable to download it.
Acer: I understand that you are unable to get the ICS update on your tablet.
Acer: Let me see what best can be done for you.
Me: Thanks!
Acer: You are welcome, ******.
Acer: May I have the serial number?
Me: Where do I find that information?
Acer: Please click on the below link to get the serial number.
Acer: URL
Me: Oh, the SNID. I didn't realize they were the same thing since I included it in the information before I requested the chat. Sorry!
Me: The number is: **********
Acer: Thank you, ******.
Acer: ******, this is to inform you that the update for the ICS is available and is being released in batches, we recommend you to keep the automatic update enabled through Apps > Settings > About Tablet > System Update > Check the box for “Automatically check for system updates”. This will help the tablet detect an update as soon as it’s available for your product. This update will be available for all the A500 tablets.
Me: Thank you! I will keep automatic update on. In the FAQ's, it mentions being rolled out over the period of a week. Should I receive it today at some point in that case?
Acer: You are welcome, ******.
Acer: You will get the update soon.
Me: Ok great, thank you very much!
Acer: We are unable to provide you the estimated time.
Acer: You are welcome.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Electronics aren't really my thing so I'm going to wait for the OTA download. But, I'm in the same position I was before I asked. It'll get here when it gets here, I guess.

OK. Now I understand. He said "hurry up and wait"!

From chat this morning May 5th.
Balaji : Hi, my name is Balaji . How may I help you?
Balaji : Hi, XXX.

Balaji : I understand that you are trying to know the ICS update on your tablet.
Balaji : Let me see what best can be done for you.
Balaji : May I have the serial number?
XXX : yes, when will I receive it?
XXX : s/n = xxxxxxxxxxx
Balaji : XXX, this is to inform you that the update for the ICS is available and is being released in batches, we recommend you to keep the automatic update enabled through Apps > Settings > About Tablet > System Update > Check the box for “Automatically check for system updates”.

XXX : yes that is already done. when will I receive it please?
Balaji : We are unable to provide you the estimated time.
Balaji : But you will receive the update in few days.
XXX : can I download it from Acer rather than wait for OTA update?
Balaji : I recommend you to wait for few more days and let me know.
Balaji : This is an automatic update and will reach you depends on the wireless locations or regions.
XXX : OK. Thanks. I will wait. Bye
Balaji : You are welcome, XXX.

Soon, still no OTA in Toronto.... tried checking for update using my New York vpn with no update again.
I love my A500, I don't know why Acer has to make it so difficult for their customers.......

Honor USA: EMUI 5.0 is officially rolling out starting on Feb 11th

Just for the purpose of tracking the rolling out process in the north America region, let's try collecting some date information when you receive the rollout. The process of this upgrade could become a helpful guideline for future upgrade events in the region! Models L04 and L14 might be involved. Let's also comment on your state, wireless service provider, if you are in the beta group and when you got the phone to see if anything is correlated. Please take a minute to fill out the form:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you!
Now, on the official Honor_USA social account, https://twitter.com/Honor_USA, N is coming on Feb 11th. Period.
Update: from Rox_honor, it's officially released on Feb 10th in the US. Some people have had this update already.
To force the update, you can check the method posted on Page 2, #16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70992090&postcount=16.

Reserve for updating statistics, if possible. Again, the Google Spreadsheet to fill out is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to add more columns if you think they are helpful.

So far it seems that only T-Mobile users are getting the update. Just tried to update my Mom's phone, we are on Cricket (AT&T) and there was no update for her. Tried putting it on airplane and restarting but still nothing. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

There is one entry reporting received the update while on Straight Talk. We need to have more data in order to figure out the rollout sequence. GOOD LUCK!

i purchased the Unlocked Honor 8 from US (amazon). But I'm an indian user and I'm using it with an indian carrier . will i get the update as the other north american devices or do i have to wait longer

Did not get the update (FRD - L04)
But I forgot whether or not the L04 is international or US (i live in the US though)

yeah i havent gotten it either still says no updates available

I haven't received the update either on L04. I read on the other thread that it rolls out in small batches.
Edit: Here's the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70964112&postcount=392

Nothing on L04 AT&T yet. Purchased from NewEgg and first activated in December.

Got it 3 weeks ago. L04 from b&h.

Bought it unlocked at Frys a week ago and received the update yesterday. I just want to caution all rooted and unlocked users! I received the update yesterday and upgraded it like a fool. I cant get into twrp recovery and the stock recovery seems to be broken. I even installed a newer twrp thru fastboot but im still not able to go into recovery. Im looking through all the forums but no one seems to have this problems yet. Im still waiting on some help if anyone has a solution. So please be aware before updating. Hopefully Im the only one with this problem.

Ahh, I was an idiot and had the same thing.
What happened is that I was rooted, and installed via Charles app, and it bugged out.
The reason for that is that TWRP can't install the stock ROM.
You need to get into fastboot, and reflash the stock recovery, and use it to dload the emui 4.1 file. Make sure you get the full package version.
After that it will be all wiped. You might run into a few errors but let the recovery do its thing.
You'll eventually be able to boot into the OS and then run the update normally.
I want to root my honor 8 on nougat, but I'm waiting for a patch from Huawei first because of all the bugs, just because of this.
Also I don't think rooting the honour 8 on nougat works that we'll yet, hopefully someone comes up with a method that doesn't suck so hard.
Hopefully they'll do it quickly.

Do you mind pointing me to the right direction to find those files? stock recovery and the 4.1.
Ive seen the rollback files... is that what you're talking about?

I used the firmware finder tool for it. You can get it for Windows. It's somewhere around the forum, but you can probably Google it.
Once you get the full package you can extract the recovery.img from it.

Unlocked FRD-L04 bought from Amazon. Living in Argentina. Got update yesterday. Really happy with it.

Folks, if you are impatient, you can use the Firmware Finder to send the Firmware B360 (I am using the Jan 3 one) to your Updater for a full package update. More information can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/news-huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3550882
A few notes here from my personal experience:
1. Once you set up the proxy from the Finder's proxy app which should be downloaded after you enabled the "send firmware to updater" (check notification afterward), you then click on the latest firmware # and "send firmware to updater".
2. On the Setting/Updater, click the menu and use "Download full update package", which should direct you to a 2.27Gb package (not the 1.28Gb package, or you will not be able to login!) and click on the "Quick update" button. You may need to wait for a while to see this option. Up to now, you may not be able to download anything yet.
3. Go back to the wifi setting and turn on proxy setting to "None" again and reconnect with the wifi network. Now you should pause the Updater and then resume it. You should now be able to download the full package and install it.
4. After all the update process, it could be helpful to charge your phone without the screen turning on. This is told to be useful to optimize the battery performance immediately after the update. The phone might be slow in a couple of hours as optimizations are going on in the background. But everything will become normal afterward
Good luck!

bought L04 from newegg using it in Pakistan no update for me as of yet

This is all bulls*it. Same update we got in january, and by the way, it's buggy.

L04 here, bought from Amazon about a month ago. Running on T-Mobile US. Still no update yet.

Is there any way to change the white notification background? I prefer the old color scheme, Mich easier on the eyes at night.

Amazfit Pace (Xiaomi/Huami english version) OTA updates

Hi,
I have a Pace with stock english rom and have been disappointed at lack of updates to ROM or supporting app. However it looks as though I may have received an OTA update this morning, but not completely certain. I was syncing with the app when the watch screen went black/off, hasn't happened before. There was a pause of a few seconds then the A logo appeared, but none of the swirly stuff like at power up just a couple of spinning circles, then a message "optimising apps" and counting through the number of apps just like a typical android ota update. The version number still says 1.30n like before and I can't see any obvious changes. Has anyone else seen this??
If users can post date and ROM version on this thread whenever they receive an OTA update on their Pace (Pace stock only please) it might be helpful to others.

if you're on 1.3.0n ... there was no update

Thanks 1imortal.
OK, if not an update what did I see? Where did the "optimising apps" message come from?
When was 1.3.0n rolled out, is it recent?
A little more detail please would be helpful.

1.3.0n was the initial version that came on the US variant of the watch, the Amazfit Pace, and was not updated since it came out.
what you have seen is probably a launcher crash with an update of apps, i've seen this on the CN version as well few times on my watch as well.
currently there is no definite ETA of the US OTA update, there are a lot of users that eagerly wait for it.

Many thanks, most helpful, makes more sense now. Will rejoin the patient queue for firmware and app updates that should develop the watch from good to great!

1.3.1 just came out. Just updated - new and custom watch faces, looks good. Some new run modes and a few optimizations.

Need help with 1.3.1m update
I recently flashed my ROM with full English ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...utorial-convert-xiaomi-huami-amazfit-t3532508) I'm running 1.3.0n now. recently I got notification on 1.3.1m update but I can't update mine (failed to apply the update after downloaded and have to restart using the button).
Anyone has the same problem as I do? hopefully comes with solution too
Thanks in advance.

yes, have the same message. Think we have to wait...

Guys, the problem is solved for more than a week now. It is described in the first post of the thread (red bold text)..

Thank you, @Neuer_User
I ran into this thread after downgrading from your ROM to stock, and OTA always showed an error. Your post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71264431&postcount=599 solved this.

Nokia 6 stable Oreo update problem

Hello everyone. I have the TA 1021 model and I'm from India. Currently I have the Oreo beta version installed with December 5 security patch which I got through OTA. Two days ago I cleared data on the Google services framework and got the stable Oreo update as a result. I downloaded that update and restarted the phone as was instructed for the update to take place. But my phone started to a screen saying "no command" and the update did not take place. Now when I go to the system update page it says that my software is upto date. I even tried the google services framework hack but nothing is working.
Now my question is should I wait for the OTA update or should I download it from here. Please help. Sorry in advance for the long post.

Hey there,
I have the same Model number but in Germany. I chatted with tge Nokia service team and they cleared it to me ..
They said : the update comes to regions .. so it could come late !
But we are going to get the update .. it needs just some patient
I hope that i helped you

P8 (original) firmware updated to GRA_L09C432B520

I must admit, I'd given up looking for, and any hope of ever getting another P8 update - it was on GRA_L09C432B398.
But, turned it on this morning to see it demanding a restart after having automatically downloaded and installed an OTA update to GRA_L09C432B520.
Rebooted and following an anxious wait (whilst it optimised the memory), there it was: See attachment
Afterwards, I checked Firmware Finder, but nothing listed there after …B399.
Android patch level is only to 1st Jan 2018

Hi
On this link you will find the downloadable update B520 and who has experience.
mobilarena.hu/tema/re_huawei_p8_nekik_nem_8/friss.html

Is there anyone who have downloaded and tested it ? Is there other "sure" download source ?

Hey,
if you are running B399 you have t go back to the last official version which is B398 first.
B399 was never officially released.
After reboot into B398, the regular OTA update should work and bring you the option to download B520. As far as I can see, there is still no FULL Update available for B520.
For me this worked wthout issues. B520 is running as good as B399.

Yes, kudos to Huawei for releasing this security update on a relatively old machine.
It makes me more inclined to trust them in the future.
B520 seems to work well for me.

Hello,
What's the process to rollback to the B398 from the B399 ? I want to install the B520 too, but i don't want to make a mistake.
Thank you for your answer.

Please be aware of the branding. So do not use the vodafone branded file if you are using a non branded version at the moment.

Oh it's easier than I thought so. Thank you!
