not having any luck with this update, tried restoring my backup (I thinks its the leaked 3.1) and it booted properly, then tried re-flashing this with CWM again and it just keeps going back to CWM.....

After installing update_3.1.zip, it gets me a message : Random offset: 0x24a (the number is different everytime I install the update) then it says Install from sdcard complete...then I tried to hit **go back*** then -reboot system now...goes to the ACER logo, then it rebooted again and it came back to CWM...

Restoring back my Virtous 1.08 backup....

one question, before I go to CWM (Power + down vol) do I need to open the ACER Recovery app and flash thor recovery or stock??
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Did you wipe first?
[Acer Iconia A500] snyph3r:
Yes i did a wipe on cache , data, Dalvik and battery stat...
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Hi all.

Got my Iconia on Sunday, rooted that night and then installed CWM/Virtuous 1.08 Asus base.

Installed this a little while ago; factory reset+wipe cache+wipe dalvik+wipe battery stats. Everything is running as it should. Just as fast as Virtuous 1.08.

I did get one strange error during install, but once it was complete it came up no problem.

Thanks for the post -- I was afraid I'd have to drop back to stock+root and then OTA to update (losing root)!

fyi mouse works on this build. No drag+select, etc. Kind of a weak implementation, but it works all the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] snyph3r:
Hi when you did the factory reset, is it in CWM or in the setting? thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] marko68:
Is this the same ROM arriving by OTA?

If yes, could you tell me exactly how to install it now that i have the leaked one installed? But please help me step by step....i will be very grateful to who help me
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
worked great, many tnx to doc...

now, what about an even greater OC???

I know, I'm asking too much... but I'm just asking:p
[Acer Iconia A500] marko68:
I'm italian too, could you explain me how to install it? Now I have the leaked one, I don't know what is and how to use cwm please help me!! Thank you

[Acer Iconia A500] Greenycq20:
You must have Clock Work Mod installed?

Copy zip to micro SD card

Boot in to cwm

And install update from SD card

If you are having trouble with this I recommend you wait till it is pushed out to you by acer
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
ok.. I'll take care of my caffeinized countryman who doesn't want to spend time looking around through previous posts (or at least I'll try) ;)

case 1: you haven't rooted yet your tablet, than root it... follow this link and pick up the 1.1 version and run it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138228, than jump to step 2

case 2: you already have a rooted leaked version, in this case you simply install (if not yet installed) Acer Recovery Installer from the market, install it and launch it, choose clockworkmod method and install it.

Procedure:

1: put your last update_3.1.zip on your external sdcard (better if a small one and fat formatted)

2:having rooted and clockworked your tablet, switch it off and power on again holding pressed the "volume down" and Power" button until on your screen will appear the recovery environment.

3: to achieve the best results, perform a full wipe (keep in mind this will delete any existing infomation), than form the "advanced" menu delete the dalvik and cache data, delete even the battery statistics.

4:form the main menu of clockworkmode install the update form sdcard

5:reboot, done

remember you can navigate among the CWM menus using the volume keys and confirm with power button

Good luck!:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] boganslaw:
Ciao,

This should be the same OTA 3.1 converted into an update.zip.

Copy to external sd

Turnoff iconia ans then volume down button and power button to boot into CWM then

do full/wipe factory reset

and wipe cache

and

Advanced wipe dalvik cache and battery stats

Then install zip from sdcard

After install then reboot.

Some people going from the leaked chinese 3.1 had success skipping the full wipe/factory reset

Keeping settings and installed apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] superbar:
strange after updating my iconia with this update.zip

now, i have 3.1, but 4.010.05

everything seems working but i thought i would be getting 4.010.07?
[Acer Iconia A500] marko68:
Thank you very much, but is not because i don't want to search in forum, but because the guides in the forum are all no very clear for me poor noob.... :) You are very clear. Thank you.

Just a question more: with the leaked 3.1 installed i will receive the OTA upgrade from acer or because the system appear updated the ota doesn' appear? Because if i have the chance to receive ota I wait for that........

thank you again
[Acer Iconia A500] snyph3r:
anybody from VP 1.08 V3 tried this yet? I can't seem to get this working, even tried flashing the leaked, then my backup and still doesn't work, It just keeps on coming back to the CWM window after rebooting. oh well maybe VP 1.08 will get updated with this somedy...I went back to it with no problem...

***okay, finally got this working****

Flashed VP1.08 and UV3....re-downloaded the update_3.1.zip again and copied back to my extrnal sdcard, flashed it without any wipe and viola it booted....now I'm happy, even the NFS game working now!

Will test it out all day tomorrow (while at work :) )
[Acer Iconia A500] El Philou:
Just updated, and same here!

It's probably one super 3.1 ;)

All working well, wifi include :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Greenycq20:
Presume you will need to fully wipe via CWM and then apply the zip

I'm getting 4.010.02 might be because I did not wipe my data will do a backup and factore reset then fresh install to see what build I get each time
[Acer Iconia A500] jmbank:
completed here, from leak 3.1.

BUT why mine is 4.010.04 ???????

And can i remove the super user ???? , i mean unroot.

By the way, cell standby removed but my problems that it keep shuting down while sleep still occure
[Acer Iconia A500] Nucleotide:
Awesome.. thank you for sharing!
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i think what you have to do is:

1. install leaked

this will remove cwm and root

2. in settings of leaked do a wipe to factory settings

this will cause it to go into original recovery and wipe and restart.

3. reinstall su and cwm

move the zip to your sdcard

4. shutdown and restart with cwm

5. install zip with cwm.

that should work.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:
Chillout guys. Don't worry if the last two digits don't match the 07 that I quoted.

Those last two digits are determined by your flexrom. The flexrom is a special partition that is region specific that Acer loads full of bloatware apps that they have in agreement with third party app developers or services.

This update does not flash your flexrom and so it tries to retain the regionally of your original ROM as much as possible. This will hopefully mean that you are close to 100% with the OTA updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:
Leaked versions do not get updated.
[Acer Iconia A500] boganslaw:
it's a mute point when SU enabled versions of the update come out so quick :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
no my friend, you would be eligible to receive the OTA updates ONLY if you hadn't flashed any modified firmware.

Unless you made ALL the requested backups before flashing, and you're capable to switch back to the real original condition (with the preinstalled 3.0.1 to understand each other), you will not receive any further update.
[Acer Iconia A500] boganslaw:

[Acer Iconia A500] marko68:
But if now i flash this stock rom i will be eligible again for updates or not??
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I think its suppose to shut down after a while in sleep mode, its to preserve battery life. Its been like that since day one.
[Acer Iconia A500] wesStyle:
Guys, tell me: is this update from USA or Australia or somewhere else?

And if it is official, why not provide unmodified update.zip for stock recovery?

Am I the only one who thinks this is a lot slower and less responsive than the leaked update? I've cleared the caches and everything before installing with CWM.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Thinking of giving this a go, although I'm reluctant to give up Virtuous Galaxy :)

Can I tether via Bluetooth with this ROM? I couldn't with the 3.01 Acer stock but I can with Virtuous Galaxy.

Superuser prob

I can't use superuser any longer.

It stops with FC, and I can't gain root privileges... everything else seems working good.

I cant even uninstall superuser.apk

what's wrong? any suggestion?
[Acer Iconia A500] MichellBak:
I tried resetting everything again, and that seems to have worked.

Superuser works just fine here.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I feel its much faster and more stable, the zooming in news web pages was laggy in the chinese one this one is just super smooth. Im sure the devs can make a really sick rom with this stock one, so far its the best i've used and i've tried them all.

[Acer Iconia A500] El Philou:

[Acer Iconia A500] Aaron Camp:
Figured I would throw my 2 cents in on the update in case anyone was in a similar situation and wanted some reassurance.

I was running the 3.01 stock with root and the CW mod.

I did NOT have any update ever from Acer. (not sure what the version was...there was a minor update in June that stopped being pushed in mid June)

This is a US a500. Nothing has been modified or altered other than Root and CW.

I did the following steps and was 100% successful.

1. Make a backup via CWM.

2. Use titanium to backup all apps and settings (redundant but I am paranoid!!)

3. Copy CW backup and titanium files to temp folder on external SD.

4. Copy temp folder on external SD to PC (did I mention paranoid!!)

5. Download update from first post and place on external card.

6. take pictures of home screen icons in case anything gets moved/lost (paranoia is your friend!!)

7. Reboot into CW recovery

8. From main CW screen "Wipe Cache Partition"

9. from Advanced screen "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

10. From Advanced screen "Wipe Battery Stats"

11. From main CW screen "install zip from SD card"

12. Select the update31.zip

13. Let it run and then reboot.

After about 8 min (it always takes longer to boot when you wipe the caches) it booted to my normal lock screen and everything appears OK. I have all my apps, the version is now 3.1 and the build is Acer_A500_4.010.02_COM_GEN1

I checked and su still works fine (could open titanium with no issues) and was able to run su in terminal and mount my external sd card back into a folder on the internal mem.

In all, 30 min of paranoid backup followed by 15 min of actual install and all is well.

My old phone is dopod 900 (Universal).

I will share my expirience.

I have to use CWM because My Iconia was not booted.

Acident when it upgrade by OTA and I pressed button to turn it off.

I solved by

- installed Chiness ROM then turn it to "system 1.104.05_COM_GEN1"

- system_lib_modules - (For Fixed Wifi)

Final step - USA 1.141.07 update fix (Ok)

*Now I think it more Easy way

to use Rom From Thread "[OTA] Full Package and Update"

*I don't see what CWM(ClockWorkMod) use for ?

I try it and Now I know "It is recover tools."

I try many CWM

PRIMEE_acerA500-p8,

Virtuous Picasso ROM -(built from Asus ROM) have Thai Keyboard Built In

Dexter's Aconia.

I most stable and fastest in my opinion is "Leaked OFW Firmware 3.1"

but not build in Thai Keyboard ( It support Thai User Interface ).

Now I am in "Stock 3.1 4.010.07" that a good one.

I use "TSwipe-Pro" keyboard for Thai Keyboard.

Also tried the trailer, it plays smooth.

And tried some 720 .mkv-s aswell, surprisingly almost smooth, maybe needs some tweek or oc.

1080p testing is on the way...:)
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
Well to take a SWAG at it. I would assume that if this is the 'golden' acer 3.1 global update release and the CWM update method fully simulates the OTA application of such update, it would be logical to assume that future OTA updates should have no problemo.

The more I read your comments throughout this forum, the more meaningless they become....:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Totally agree. Benchmarks dont mean a damn thing! Its funny how one fool start something and all the fools rush in!
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Until such time as Acer issue another update, and someone with this version of the 3.1 ROM receives it, it's impossible to answer the question. All anyone can do is say "We think so", at best.

Ok, so Titanium Backup can´t remove handcent, says apk not found. I´ll try to do another full wipe, go back to 3.01, then reinstall 3.1 and see if it will clean this mess.

/data/dalvik-cache/flexrom@app@com.handcent.nextsms.apk@classes.dex

/data/data/com.handcent.nextsms

/flexrom/app/com.handcent.nextsms.apk

Like so many others that have been reporting on their upgrades I can confirm that I had a successful upgrade from the leaked 3.1 a week or so ago and the new version that has just been posted today. I am rooted and I flashed both with CWM and have had no problems at all during install or during the short testing that I have carried out.

The only snag that I can see is one that I had with the previous version and that is the fact that the picture frame widget sometimes comes up as a 3x3 frame and other times comes up as a 2x2 frame - weird?
