Can you clarify if you came from 1.104.02 or 1.141.07. I read your posts and understand that you failed to update from 1.104.02 to 1.141.07. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Brutus2TheMax:
I could not update to 1.141.07 from 1.104.02 so I upgraded from 1.104.02 to 4.010.11 with no problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] duongla:
Thanks. So This may be a Full ROM and we can flash regardless of the current ROM version. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
Do not just open the decrypted file you have to unzip it first then take the update.zip file over to your external SD card. I just restarted mine to 1. 104. 02 and installed the update zip file directly through factory recovery so I can confirm this is a complete Rom and works on top of most builds.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
Be sure you are unrooted and using factory recovery not cwm.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
Hehehe, it feels good giving back to a great community that keeps all ntt gadgets up to date. Thanks to those that thanked me, I'm glad I could finally help.
[Acer Iconia A500] killerapl:
So i downloaded it using my macbook and it does not allow me to unzip it. Says decryption failed. Do i need a pc? what program did you use?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
As far as I know the decrypter program is only for pc.
[Acer Iconia A500] duongla:
Just successfully flash this 4.010.11 ROM. I confirm this is a FULL ROM, you can flash this ROM regardless of recovery (stock or CWM), rooted or not, whatever current version is...

I see this .11 ROM is the same as .40

[Acer Iconia A500] deedub334:
Could someone please help me out with step by step directions on how I decrypt the download .zip and convert it to an update.zip by use of the Acer Decrypter.

Noob question I'm sure but I am totally unfamiliar with the Acer Decrypter.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
decrypted and worked like a champ....:D
[Acer Iconia A500] killerapl:
Download the program and the file. The decrypter has a tab that says input I believe. (Sorry I'm not close to my comp) choose the file and then press start. It should make another file that looks similar to the original but on the new one you can open it. Whatbyiu need to get is the update.zip out if the new file. Put that update.zip file on your external SD card. Hope that makes sense.
[Acer Iconia A500] deedub334:
Still a little confused. I can't extract this file to my card because I have no idea what this Acer Decrypter is or how to locate it or how to obtain it.

Is this decryrpter an app which is on my A500, do I download it from the market, do I get it from the web?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] teardropcity:
The Acer Decrypter is available here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099673 It is PC only. I used a winXP running Avast antivirus and had to temporarily disable Avast it to download and run it.

About :

I know...not necessarily a great idea, but I tried and it went over well. Your mileage May Vary...

Off to go root and apply some updates and I am a Very Happy Camper indeed..!
[Acer Iconia A500] Game4set:
This worked beautifully and I updated from "acer_a500_1.104.02_com_gen1" to this. So far everything is working pretty well and but I haven't really tested out wifi yet. And I didn't have to root or do anything complicated. It was taking too long for my tablet to receive the update and I was too impatient especially with the repeated "your device is up to date" message I kept seeing every time I tried checking for an update.

Yes - I get the same problem. The other uploaded link seems to lead to 4.010.40_COM_GEN1. Looking for 4.010.11_COM_GEN2...

From what I have read and been told, GEN1 and GEN2 are regional differences, or at least that is what I have read.

And the Acer Decrypter has worked great on XP with VMWARE Fusion to the Boot Camp partition on my MacBook Pro.

Thanks in advance!

Great update ! I'm very happy with it.

I have installed it over the my stock build 1.016.05_COM_GEN1 mainly because I was sick of waiting for the OTA 3.1 update.

Now that I'm running this 3.1 US version, I'm wondering something : is there a chance that I'll get the future OTA updates from France ?
[Acer Iconia A500] deedub334:
I have been running this download since the first day it was posted, as my A500 failed to update from 4.101.08 to 4.010.10. It has been working perfectly in all aspects for me.

[Acer Iconia A500] powerhouselb:
Folks, I'm in a bad way. I have been on the computer for several hours now and the only part of the puzzle that I'm missing is the update itself. I downloaded from a link posted on this forum and was able to successfully able to decrypt it, but when I try to extract the update.zip, it fails. In addition, all the other updates are either inaccessible or for a different region. I desperately need this update. I'm rooted, all I need is the update. I am running 1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and I'm assuming I need 4.010.11_COM_GEN2 (at least, that's the official update that kept failing before and after the root). PLEEEEEAAASE HELP...
[Acer Iconia A500] pfc.joker:
You want to make sure you get the region specific version - just because there is a .42 out there doesn't mean it's for your device (learned that the hard way) that said if you are looking at .11 it sounds like you are in the US - after you decrypt the download from this thread, you open the archive and there should be an update.zip - some people have problems with the Windows builtin .zip reader, I used 7zip with no issues - place this on the root of your SD (no root needed) - with your SD in and your device powered off, hold down VOL - (one closest to your power button) and Power till the device comes on - you should see it start the update and if all goes well - reboot when done with you on 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:

Try a different SD card. Many people have had difficulties because of the SD card.

Soft Keys with .11

Thanks to all in this thread, I found and downloaded the full update to .11. Followed the instructions to place the update.zip in the external card, and used Power / VOL+ to clear and then update. Worked fine. Gingerbreak does not work for root so I had to use the other tool for that.

Frequent references in the forums to the last update log. It is supposed to be in the \cache\last update folder. The \cache folder (and \root) are empty folders. Any help there?

After update, the soft key for home has stopped functioning. It vibrates, but the only way to get to the main screen is to use the back key until you reach the main screen (not supposed to work that way).

After the update to .11 and a cold start, I received the notice for the .13 update, which, of course failed. I located the full file and update.zip and installed the update manually. After that update, I still have the soft key issue and each time the tablet starts, I get the pre-install processes completed pop-up. No unwanted side effects, but again, it's not supposed to do that.

Is there a fix for the soft key? Can I disable the never ending preinstall pop-ups.

Hopefully we won't see too many new threads starting based on this. Any comments or questions may be answered in those threads or this one.

Previously (officially):

Country: USA

- Supported OS version: Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1

- Upgrade to OS version: Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2

Currently, revised (unofficially):

Country: USA

- Supported OS version: Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1 (and less)

- Upgrade to OS version: Acer_A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2

Currently, revised (unofficially):

Country: USA

- Supported OS version: Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2 and Acer_A500_4.010.07_COM_GEN2*

- Upgrade to OS version: Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2

- Update!: ~7/27/2011. Upgrade to OS version: Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2

People who are on old build 1.141.07 or lower are no longer being incrementally updated. They are going straight to Acer_A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2, a full 3.1 update.

People on 4.010.08 are going to Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2, an incremental update.

*People on 4.010.07 are also reporting going to Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2, an incremental update.

Note that 4.010.07 seems to be a U.S version that some users got while most got 4.010.08. I don't know what differences there are between the 2 builds.

This information is based on several user reports of going from .07 or lower to .11, and first hand as I have gone from .08 to .10 along with others as well.

Update (7/27/2011)

U.S users are being updated by a small patch and are now at 4.010.13.
