Hi,

I have the

acer_a500_1.126.03_com_gen1

What package does I use to update ?

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] ryosaebakao:
Hi, I have the same version but which update package did you use ? I can't find a proper update file for a 1.103.05_com_gen1 ...

Someone please help !!
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodbreed:
??? did you read my trouble ???
[Acer Iconia A500] ryosaebakao:
Yes I did. Just asking which package you use.

For your question I did a factory reset using Settings>Privacy>Factory data reset and all deleted apps were restored and iconia still rooted.

Upgrade Success

successfully updated my 16GB wifi only A500 from 1.104.02 to 1.144.07 using link and instructions from the 1st post.

System now reports version as 1.144.07_COM_GEN1

Update seems to have fixed the screen flashing during sleep problem. Was expecting to get exchange support with this upgrade, but apparently not - mail options still only list IMAP and POP3.

WiFi works after update.

Many thanks to vache for the original post and links.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
exchange is available with 1.139.05. so that is the one you should use.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
You need to add the account from the accounts and sync section in the settings menu. Then you get to add a corporate account.
[Acer Iconia A500] mhutch:
Thanks

That worked perfectly. Thanks.

Guys, I am on Acer_A500_1.139.04_COM_GEN1

There is a file Acer_A500_1.139.04_1.141.04_COM_GEN1 which I assume will get me to Acer_A500_1.141.04_COM_GEN1

How can I get to Acer_A500_1.144.07_COM_GEN1?

Do I have to install Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and then Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.144.07_COM_GEN1?

This thread is confusing, I've read through the whole thing.

Hi,

My actualy version is Acer_A500_1.1.026.03_Com_Gen1,

Is somebody explain me why my tablet does not want to update it in new version?

Thank' s
[Acer Iconia A500] hazard99:
I will have to agree that this thread has confused me. Its probably something simple that I am missing. I for the life of me can not tell what the latest update is for my device.

It says that my build number is acer_a500_1.104.02_com_gen1

I had the 16gig model before and when I did the update that I thought was correct it killed my wifi's.

So if anyone could tell me what the lastest update is I would be greatful.
[Acer Iconia A500] vaasek:
I think, you had the right update. Happened the same to me. You have to update the wifi files manually. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119620
[Acer Iconia A500] hazard99:
Yeah I ended up calling acer and the 3rd report ended up telling me what the update number was suppose to be. The you for the post I will thank when I am at my pc.
[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:
How is Acer going to notify users when the actual 3.1 update is ready? Do we get an email, or do they just push something to the device? Like everybody else, I am checking daily only to find out my tablet is up to date.

If anybody has gotten the 3.1 update, please let us know how you were alerted that this was available.

Thank you.

Email.apk & Odex from 1.144.07_COM_GEN1 ??

I seem to have trashed my email.apk and email.odex from ACER_A500_1.144.07_COM_GEN1, yes i was messing around with then:rolleyes:

is it possible for someone to send me those two files so i can drop them back in with root explorer.

P.S. if this is an inappropriate request on the forum, please accept my apoligy
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
a bit more information?

Does anyone attached to the posting this topic have information on the level of upgrades happening with these files?

Not sure what constitutes an upgrade if numbers are not consecutive, or...not. Are the upgrades tied to particular hardware? I am a tad confused with all the sets of ### to ###.

My A500 currently shows ver. # Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1

Some of the posts say that number set IS an upgrade.

If not should I try to migrate to Acer_A500_1.144.07_COM_GEN1?

In other words, is there a rhyme or reason for the numbers and what the numbers represent as an upgrade?

I understand the difference from COM / EMAE of course...

I have read every post in this thread..yes confusing...

P.S. I am really appreciating the work gone into the uploads. I'm just looking for a little clarity before diving in...

Thanks in advance!

i have tried many times to run the update but always get exclamation sign.

[Acer Iconia A500] kintrup:
Me Too!

I tried several updates from "104.02 COM GEN 1" to 141.07 or 144.07 on my german 32 GB. :confused:

The Update failed with "error code 7".

Maybe the Iconia is updating from "sdcard" instead of "external_sd"?

So it is to be seen on the screen.

But even from internal sdcard it doesn't work.

...and I tried different SD cards too; even the card I did the flashing to 104.02 worked, but not with the updates.

"assert failed: apply_patch_check ("system/build.prop".............

Error in /mnt/sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)"

Any idea?
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Doesn't the german version use the emea.cus7 roms?

Mine does. If so that's the cause. You can only update the same rom version or move to a different version and update that version.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I was playing around with these updates last night, but ran into problems.

I was at 1.141.07 (original OTA update) and here's what I did.

Used Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 (worked, tab shows 1.104.02, lost root, did not re-reroot)

Tried Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.144.07_COM_GEN1 (failed due to build.prop)

Tried Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.141.07_COM_GEN1 (failed due to build.prop)

Downloaded OTA via "Check for updates" (failed due to build.prop)

Used DD to reflash my system and boot (worked, tab shows 1.141.02, not correct, but is rooted again)

Tried update.zip from this thread (failed due to phone.apk missing)

Replaced phone.apk and tried it again (failed with SOS Checksum error, ouch, still boots though)

Booted normally and reflashed my original backup from before update in the following order: p1, p2, p5, p6, p7, ran itsmagic, p3. (worked, back at 1.104.02)

Tried Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.144.07_COM_GEN1 (failed, didn't check error msg)

Tried Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.141.07_COM_GEN1 (failed, didn't check error msg)

Downloaded OTA via "Check for updates" (worked. Now at 1.141.07)

Whew!

When I have more time, i'll try some more tests.

Afterthought: a few weeks ago, I had tried to reflash my original files to go back to 1.104.02 (flashed, system and boot only) and got the LNX Checksum. And used the procedure from Step 6 above to fix (flashed germain update.zip, then flashed a system and boot image and then another update.zip to get back to 1.141.07). Might it be that there was something left over from the german update that caused the problems? I thought the 0.000.00_1.104.02 was supposed to replace everything needed. *sigh* guess I'll have to try it all again, now that I know i'm 100% back to my original OTA update.

I am trying to update my tablet from scratch because i had bricked it.

But it seems that the most upgradable full packages from the given paths, cannot actually upgrade!

Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 is installed correctly but then Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.144.07_COM_GEN1 fails!

I think I'v e found why many of us (me included) can't update from 1.104.02 to 1.141.07 of 1.144.07!

What I did was to flash the full version Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and then when I try to update to Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.141.07_COM_GEN1 or Acer_A500_1.104.02_1.144.07_COM_GEN1 i get the error about build.prop!

Quick question

Got the correct update file, in the right place - recovery boots and update process begins. About 20% of the way in - i get the failed exclamation mark logo.

My droid is rooted and I have removed some factory programs (have backups handy). Before update do I have to put all those apks back? And do I need to unroot before update?

Thanks in advance!

[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I was about to ask the same question :)

Anyone?
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
I appears you can't! :(

Or at least I can't!

I tried:

Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.016.01_COM_GEN1 and Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and they do flash and work good but every update I try fails with "build.prop" error!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
That error has nothing to do with going back from one of the 3.1 Honeycomb ROM's.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
True! But still... you can't go back!
[Acer Iconia A500] anstelios:
So what is this build.prop error and how can we fix it ??
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
build.prop is to Android as system.ini is to Windows. This is a configuration file with most of the main Android settings.

The build.prop files in the full roms posted here are Not the ones that the updates want! I don't know why!
[Acer Iconia A500] Raphaello:
So is any safely way back to stock 3.0.1 ROM and wait for OTA update to stock Honeycomb 3.1?

[Acer Iconia A500] robincop deel 2:
What software do you use to set these permissions?

I have tried root explorer2.3.apk, but that one does not go any deeper then the system folder. Anything below remains to be locked to R/O.

UPDATE, found version 2.13.3 which did give me R/W access all the way through to the bottom folders. Copied the files, but did not need to change the permissions. It just worked after copying and rebooting.

Thanks!

[Acer Iconia A500] robincop deel 2:
Try again and make sure that you use root explorer 2.13.3 to both set the folder to r/w and to copy the two wifi fix files.

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Did none of you guys wanting to go back to 3.0.1 make a backup of your tab with ClockworkMod? If you did, it's very easy to restore those backups and you wouldn't need these files from OP.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Your right.. the build.prop in the 0.000.00_1.104.02 says 1.104.01! In fact.. all the 0.000.00_1.104.x files in this OP have a build_prop that says 1.104.01.

I can also confirm that my original 1.104.02 system when I first got the tablet shows 1.104.02 in the build prop. So these 104 updates from OP are not correct.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
This is just "Perfect" :mad:

Ideas?

Anyone having the REAL 1.104.02 or 1.139.05 as a full rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
In fact, you can indeed use these updates in the OP with CWM. You still have to use the Acer Update Decrypter and extract the "update.zip" from them.. Put that on the root of the micro sd and flash it via CWM.

I flashed 0.000.00_1.104.02 with CWM. However, the 1.144.07 still won't flash due to build.prop sha1. I tried chaning the version in build.prop. Even the OTA won't install, so I believe there is something wrong with the 1.104.02 in the OP.

I then installed my own original 1.104.02 stock system and boot image and tried the 1.144.07 update again.. This time it failed on libmedia.so.
[Acer Iconia A500] anstelios:
So there s something wrong with the OP's full images for sure!

Where did he find these images??

How can we find the correct ones to go to full stock updated system??

Dexter has a Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 full image on his Prime thread but its not stock. Its rooted with 3G modules etc..
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
They come from Acer and cdn.acer.futuredial.com is the official Acer OTA server.

Files are untouched.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
Yes they are untouched but they are Not correct! ACER made some big mess I think!
[Acer Iconia A500] anstelios:
I see. There's something wrong with Acer's files then :)

But i read here that the update files work fine, so if you were allready on a upgradable image you can use the update files with no problem.

But if want to update from scratch you have a problem.

So, to make this thread great and extremely useful, i think we need allready updated full images.. like the 1.144.07_COM_GEN1 or the 1.141.07_COM_GEN1 or even older 1.139.05 etc.

We need to convince ppl with stock updated images to upload it here!! i see random posts asking for some image but noone does anything.

I would surely upload mine if it was stock and someone needed it, but its not, i use Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 form Dexter's Prime thread which is rooted with 3G modules etc..

So come on ppl, upload your images !!

I have an incoming call sound set in mp3 format but unfortunately the volume is very low. Has anyone ever had this problem and deal with it advised?

Sory for my english ;]
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nissan350:
I had this problem once but I soon found out it was something to do with the ROM I was on. What ROM are you on? Does it happen with the stock ringtones too? One thing that it could potentially be is that the MP3 file you're using is recorded below normal volume. You could use a third party software to boost the normal volume level to say +3 db to compensate for the low level.

BTW, this should have been posted in Q and A. I can see that you're new here but just so you know for future references.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kregiel16:
yes it happen with the stock ringtone too ;/ So tell me how i can boost the volume ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 22VIN:
I've been using touchscreen phones (featurephones, Symbians and Android) for a few years now and sometimes I really feel like throwing my O1 in the garbage bin and going to the store to buy a solid phone with a hardware qwerty keypad, strong battery and good call quality. The only thing that keeps me from doing that is the fact that I'm kinda addicted to internet browsing and no non-touchscreen phone can do this job like a touchscreen smartphone.

I'm pretty tired of charging my phone every night (when I'm at home this doesn't really bother me but when I'm in a trip it's really annoying), having problems with quick dialing and messaging when I'm behind the steeringwheel.

They say that once you get used to a smartphone you won't want to go back. I used two WinMo HTCs many years ago and returned to Nokia S40 devices because I was so sick of crashes and lagging in simple tasks. Nowadays these smartphones are much more faster, ballanced and user-friendly but they still can't replace the reliability of an old-fashioned feature-phone.

Another problem is that sometimes, when I'm going out with my friend or when I'm at a course in college I'm being stupidly captivated by my phone (playing a stupid game or browsing the net) and I'm starting not to like this but I can't help it sometimes.

My mother uses a Nokia E71 and I must say that I really envy that phone's build quality, battery life and call quality. I'm thinking more and more lately to exchange my O1 for an E71/E72 this way also putting an end to my stupid phone-addiction and going back to using a phone the way it's supposed to be used.

I'm starting this thread not to seek advices but just for conversation's sake, I'm curious about what you have to say about your experience with these smartphones:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Not missing. Still have a bunch of those. E.g., my about 10yrs old Nokia 6310i lasts for 5-7 days of normal usage (call/SMS) so if I expect to be unable to charge this smart toy for a couple of days, I just take the old brick with me. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vip_blast:
I kinda agree with you. I preferred the way phones were before :/ Though we need to keep up with the ongoing technological progress. I've used about 20 phones before and out of most of them, I miss my Nokia 5630 the most, it had great battery life, superb sound quality and comfortable keys. I used to send super fast text messages without even having a glimpse at my screen, I loved that, specially while travelling. I like my O1 only because it is an android device. Had I known it had such an average (or even bad) sound output quality, I would have never bought it. Right now I have to carry my small iPod Shuffle 3rd gen just for music :/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 22VIN:
Yeah, I also owned over 30 phones from wich I the ones I loved most were Nokia 6131 (great display for that time and superb keys), Nokia 7900 Prism (used it for almost two years, great build quality, nice OLED display and superb light notifications - I spent pretty much money, 1100RON, on it back then (equivalent of ~270eur now) ), Nokia 3100 (a phone which you could trust, bought it in 2004, still have it now, the power button doesn't work but if I repair it it would still work like a charm). I also loved the Motorola U6 PEBL (still have one), excellent design; pretty crappy as a phone but I simply can't hate it :)

Nokia made excellent phones back then, but nowadays sadly they don't.

About the sound quality, I'm also using a Samsung P2 player, the O1 is simply not satisfying. Movies on my O1 are also not an option if I'm on a trip and I can't charge it after.

Yeah, some how miss it... Was using Nokia 1600 when i was a child, after some years, i switched to a china phone due to the super attractive price. I really miss the physical keyboard... I can make a call while driving, SMS and taking photos...

But i must emphasize the fact that smartphone[especially my P500] really changed my life... Initially, i was using 5th gen ipod nano as my major music mp3, now i had transfered all my songs to my phone, simply because it is easier to gather all the things in one device rather than two. And the screen is way larger than the ipod!:D
