Here's the best part if you do.it from step 1 yes if you do it from just the update.zip no.the only thing I cannot guarantee is what type.of updates you will receive they could be American or Asian or neither really.don't have an answer at the moment.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:

[Acer Iconia A500] mrlonely78:
amtzone,

have you updated your device using this guide? i need to know cause i also from asia (malaysia) and plan to update my device as well.

let me know :)

thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
This will work on any Acer iconia and also has the language options for Asia/china
[Acer Iconia A500] koprofile:
I'm in Australia and followed your guide and successfully updated, so thank you! Just checking that the kernel version should be 2.6.36.3?

I managed to pull a bunch of images from a stock AU tablet fresh out of the box that I borrowed from work. I can upload them and make them available if you or anyone else is interested in tinkering with them.

Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
okey..

so by doing the guide in first post, i will get to the stock latest USA updates right?

and then, in future i will get usa / asia updates??

sorry i dont understand much...
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Yes you are on the correct kernel glad it helped you out took enough time to get these images. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
At the current moment it is unditermined what updates you will receive we are hoping Acer becomes more unified with their updates. You may receive American instead of asain
[Acer Iconia A500] mrlonely78:
ok, now i understand what you are talking here.

1) With the step 1, i will get a USA stock version.

Then later, when 3.1 out, i need to update to 3.1 using USA version as well.

anyone from asian has tested this method? working?

i afraid to do this, afraid this will brick my device.

if someone manage to do this successfully, please update here so that i can try it as well.

thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
I came from Asian I've also done it from a German build.
[Acer Iconia A500] mrlonely78:
ok thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
GREAT....

so i think once 3.1 update for usa come, i will update my device with this...

or may be u can put the the later 3.1 .img like this again, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] mrlonely78:
but the latest update here fix some bug in the current release, which all Malaysian is waiting for their version as well, but none so far. so i think, should update now later 3.1 out, we just can use OTA update. right?
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Yes when 3.1 comes out I will be doing another system dump for everybody. :)

MD5 hash needed

+1 on this.

For something like this, a MD5 hash is critically important in case by some chance the mirror sites manage to corrupt a file during a download. 1 bit can make the difference between, booting fine and not booting at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Alright when I get home ill get the md5 for you guys :)
[Acer Iconia A500] lostsoul3471:
Thanks! I pulled both the img files last night directly on the tablet and had to rename both from .htm to .img. And even with the file sized for both being exactly the same as the ones posted in here a few pages back, I'm getting the LNX error on start after the update.zip fails. Also pulling down the update.zip from the 1st post as well, just in case the one I got from original 1.141 thread on pg4 is different.

Lunch for me is running back to get my mSD reader so I can just see if it's my update.zip that's a bit off. Otherwise, I have to wait till I get back to run it through ADB. (Just hope it registers in ADB at the error prompt to recover.)
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Some people are having issues with SD cards as well. If you have another card for ****s and giggles I would try it
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Props to Crsdr37 for this method. I've been chatting with him privately to bring you this free surprise app.

Simply put the system.img, boot.img and update.zip in the root of your "EXTERNAL" sd_card then run the app and click "Flash Now". Sit back and watch it.

What it does...

1) Flashes the boot.img first

2) Flashes the system.img second

3) Prompt you that it's done so you can reboot into recovery.

You may or may not see step 3. I haven't tested it going from an older version to a new version. If your tablet locks up completely, then you may not see the final message that it's done. Just give it at least 6 minutes and then force reboot.

i've ran this several times on my own tablet today. But I'm already at 1.141.07, so mine doesn't freeze from flashing the system.img.

Let me know how it works, and if you like it, give me reviews in the market.

Thanks.

DOWNLOAD Acer_ROM_Flasher FROM MARKET

PS. This may get more features in the future.. ie. used to flash custom ROMs mapaz04 style ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
wow.. great...

so, this means to flash a rom just with that apps ?

or we still need to go to recovery manually ?
[Acer Iconia A500] lostsoul3471:
Duh-Android Moment of the Day

Well, had a duh-android moment. I actually applied all 3 files again on this after successfully doing the update to make sure that nothing was skipped over during the patch process (like the kernel, wifi, etc.) One thing I forgot about and am here to remind you, if the patch was applied successfully the update.zip gets deleted (usually) and remembered I kept a copy of it, but renamed for backup purposes. So after pushing the 2 .img files, rebooted into recovery, it found nothing to update and promptly halted.

Put the update.zip from here up and it worked like it was supposed to. And the wifi instantly locked on to my Nexus One hotspot, which is better than before on the update alone. I also know that it stripped the odd last part of the id off the kernel which didn't happen before with just the update.

My recommendation to anyone wanting to just apply the update, don't. Do the whole thing, because you may be missing something somewhere and will be back here when 3.1 hits.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Yes. the app will only flash the system.img and boot.img. You'll need to hold the volume-down button when you reboot for the update.zip to install.

I tried to have it reboot to recovery automatically, which worked, but the update would fail. It seems to skip a step when you do it automatically like that.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Your link is not working for the market says item not found

Thanks for the shout out though:)
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Strange.. seems to be working fine for me.. (see screen shot of my browser after clicking the link here http://screencast.com/t/LhlnIbyz)

I also searched in the market app on the tablet and found it. (Acer Rom Flasher)

Anyone else having trouble getting it?
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
the "reboot recovery" command doesnt work? I havent actually tried yet.

here's how xoom users updated manually using command line:

adb push <zip name> /sdcard/update.zip

adb shell

su

cd /cache

mkdir recovery #it may already exist

cd recovery

echo ‘–update_package=CACHE:/recovery/update.zip’ > command

cat /sdcard/update.zip > update.zip

reboot recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Could be I'm on my evo at work
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Scratch that link works on my tablet :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
\

YES! that worked. needed two dashes in front though. I had just noticed before I saw this that (due to Crsdr37 asking about the last_log), that the --update_package parameter was missing, but I didn't know how to send it. This works though.. I'll add it in tonight and post an update.

I still don't know if it will get that far if the tablet freezes.. Has anyone tried it after a Chinese update to see if you get that last message about rebooting?

EDIT: while this did work, after re-rooting, I lost all my widgets I had setup. I have to put them back on my home screen.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
I really doubt you would. See it with the chinese or any other update besides the system.img it currently has. because the tablet goes into complete lock down. Even simple commands like turning the screen on doesn't work. I would say 5 minute wait then hard reset
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
If it does such a hard lockdown, do we know if it flashes the entire system.img?

Is it a good recommendation to flash the system.image again after the update.zip has finished? Or have you pulled a backup afterward and compared it with system.img to see if there were any differences?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
Holy Crap that was easy...

I cannot thank you enough for this app. I've been trying to get ADB shell functional with my W7 Pro laptop to make the update happen for about three days and was making progress (..and learning a LOT, BTW...), buuuuut -

this was just...remarkably easy. Thanks for the instructions, the tips, and the pointer to the app.

I was at 1.01 something, now at 1.41.141.07_COM_GEN1

No issues with wifi, straight up worked...

yes, I'm gushing thanks... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Yes I have and it.did flash the whole.image..for me I did it through adb and terminal
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Glad it worked for you.. one BIG question. Did it tell you it was done flashing and to reboot? Or did you have to just wait the 6 minutes or so and Force Reboot?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
cool :) (.... message too short......)
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Lol like that message too short
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
In the instructions you said to wait about 6 minutes. It flashed the two images and I got the message in the middle of the screen with the spinney that said it was going to be 5 minutes.

...Then the unit powered off. I waited another 6 minutes (..just in case...) and then I rebooted the unit with power&vol/dwn.

So, no, there were no instructions to reboot, it just powered off...

Took about 4 minutes on the Android screen and then...

Home/Lockscreen!

Voila! the deed was done.

P.S. If you need ANY more info, help, testing, let me know...glad to help make this wonderful for all.

P.S.S. I got my A500 in Hong Kong - From all the research it looked like it was similar enough to give it a try...still a bit nerve racking, but..I'm Really Happy Now!!! (I had a Titanium Backup just in case)

Thanks again!
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
ahh.. was hoping it had shown you the "Flash complete" message.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Nah man I'm telling you it has a hard lock down once the system.img. writes. I think the boot.img doesn't freeze it because its not using that block to funtion only on boot. People will just have to be happy with what they have almost as one click as possible with that. :-)

Crsdr37 (or anyone that knows)

If I wanted to revert back to 1.104.02 (for testing purposes, of course) with my backups from last week by flashing boot, flexrom and system. is there any particular sequence?

I know system has to be last.. Do I need to do flexrom first, then reboot and do the other two? or can all three go one after the other?

Thanks,

EB

Alright Guys I am talking with Euclid's Brother about maybe putting the images from 1.104.05 into the OP as well that way you guys have the option to fix your iconia like if you did the chinese fix. Then you can test out to see if you get the 1.141.07 update. Or you can choose just to go to the 1.141.07. What do you guys think?

any help would be great.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kerams:
My first post here.

I have received a DHD back from HTC Service after a camera module has been replaced for a new one (you probably know what I'm talking about:) They have installed a new software version with Gingerbread 2.3.3.

Since then I have noticed a rather strange behavior of HTC standard flipping clock widget that wasn't present on Froyo. When I restart the phone the widget works perfectly smooth for some time and flips as it should. Then, randomly after some hours/days right after unlocking the phone when the weather animation starts the flip of the clock is terribly glitchy. Then when I go to another screen and come back the flip is normal, but from then on it is always working badly after unlocking.

I thought that it is a memory managment issue, but I have found no connection so far between programs occupying the memory and an animation lag. The problem shows itself sometimes half an hour after restarting when there are almost no programs in memory as well as after two days of intense usage of different applications. I have switched off and on weather animation onscreen but it did not change anything.

Anyone of you had a similar experience after update? On Froyo the clock was working perfectly all of the time...

Sorry dude, since i'm very much new to it I've got no idea how to do it. :P
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ViTAMiNCHEG:
You need the following stuff:

1) root (can get it via z4root, SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak)

2) custom recovery (ClockworkMod, AmonRA)

3) custom ROM - froyo or gb based (devoid.franco, void#echo, megatron, CM7 by mik_os, GingerBread by andy)

If you are looking for performance, I'd suggest you to flash devoid.franco, andy's GB or mik_os CM7. Read the feedback from users on each thread and flash the ROM that suits you best.

Instructions how to install different stuff you can get on each developer's thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nawat:
Hi,

My diamond's wifi works only if I set the power mode to Best Performance which is then only available in some ROMs. If power mode is set otherwise, the device can only connects to the router but when there is a network activity, the wifi connection drops.

As a result, I can't use wifi other than those with this setting.

The goal is that I wanted to use wifi on XDANDROID. It seems like XDANDROID also suffers from this problem.

I've tried flashing many other ROMs including a stock ROM as well as using MTTY but this problem is still present. I've also tried many Radios too.

I'd really appreciate if anyone has an idea of how to fix this problem.

Thank you very much.

PS. My problem is the same as described in this thread. However, it is very old and it's also in different forum so I think it's better to create a new one.
