4.010.11 -> 4.010.13 ota

Here's what I had to do to get from .11 to .13 - in case it might help others

Un-root not needed, just need to replace CWM with stock recovery.

Use Acer Recovery to restore recovery to 4.010.11 stock recovery - if you didn't take a backup then the "stock" option on the bottom may work for you - haven't tested though

Accept and download OTA .13 update - at reboot it will patch (noticed a different screen for this update than I'm used to seeing - a green droid with gears in it - used to seeing the bee/box - odd)

Use Acer Recovery to install CWM again

In other news Netflix still works with the Transformer patch, haven't really tested anything else.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Just saw on here that .13 was availabe, so I check my tab and it was indeed there (currently .11 GEN2).

Downloaded and hit install and the tablet shutdown (did not go into recovery). Had to hold power button for a few seconds to boot up, then it went into stock recovery (In afterthought, I would have sworn I had CWM installed, but maybe not..)

Like others said, it seemed to hang around 90%, but I just left it alone for a few minutes and it finished and rebooted. Now at 4.010.13_COM_GEN2.

PS. Did not lose root when updating.
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
perhaps because gen1 does not refer to the hardware unit.

Mine was bought at a staples in PA not all that far from you and came with gen1 software onboard. The official OTA for 3.1 was gen2.

Don't assume you are gen1 for life....

There are different code trains for a reason here.. the numbering does not make sense to the average user. For instance, in the US we have to deal with the FCC. That reason in particular is why we have different wifi drivers than other parts of the world. We can't use all of the channels that the rest of the world can because the FCC hasn't approved them all. The differences in roms from one region of the world often revolve around such regulatory differences.

The rom version you have loaded took your tab's software outside of the US code train. The fact you posted a network time protocol server showing a US link hardly means anything since NTP uses UTC regardless of where you are in the world. I'm sure we could document a large number of items that work perfectly normal for you on that rom as well. It's the regulatory stuff you are probably on the outskirts of right now.

But hey, if you're happy on that rom, more power to you. Please however stop telling people that code is part of the US codetrain when it is not though.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
LOL I'm not assuming anything. Is everyone cRaZy , or did I just step into the twilight zone lol. Just making a statement, as bonzer felt the need to go off his rocker :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
I think we're all fine in here. I noticed you posted it a couple places now and am trying to tell you nicely that code isn't part of the US codetrain for our devices..

It likely works fine.. but there's subtle differences you might not even be aware of. You probably jumped to that version or code train at one point when the US version was lagging behind... and that's fine. It's just that version is not the newest for the US. If we can all agree of that AND agree that to each his own.. we're fine here.

Here's the wifi channel ref table..

[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ok so what is the proper "codetrain" for US? When I bought mine it wan Gen 1. Now everyone is saying since the update to 3.1 that the US is now Gen2??

The way Acer keeps switching the naming of their updates, one can't help but feel that they're doing it on purpose for these exact reasons (to confuse ppl trying to update without going through normal update procedures). :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
Yep... US codetrain is now gen2. We totally agree that the naming conventions SUCK! Mine was also gen1 when fresh out the box. I have kept mine stock OTA only (rooted of course).

This "patch" updates to .13... so I wouldn't try to flash it using cwm or any other means unless you know for certain you are on the US codetrain.

If you want to get back to the US code train, you'll want to flash the Acer_A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2 (which is a full rom) and then you'll start getting the OTA's meant for the US again (including this .13 one).

The funny thing you made ME think about today is that I use DD-wrt on my router at home and I would be willing to be that since it's developed in Europe that my router could potentially ask my tablet (or laptops etc for that matter) to change to a frequency they don't support because they are in the US.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
Did exactly like post #18 says, at updated ok.

Thank you Sir pfc.joker
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks!

I already took care of getting myself up to the latest US update then. I wiped, formatted, and installed, then got my OTA update to 4.010.13 Gen2.

I hope Acer gets their heads out of their azzes, unless like I stated before that they're doing it on purpose to confuse ppl who are bypassing the OTA updates.

Once again thanks for the clarification. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Will give you a ty click when I'm back on my Tab in a few hours ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
Sorry to cause you more grief.........

I didnt get their numbering scheme until I read the patch readme....

I dunno if it even makes any difference, but if it didnt why have all of these different code trains????????????:confused:

Update Changelog

I just ripped apart the update to see what I could find, and here's what I got:

Gyroscope Calibration: IDK how exactly, but there is a change in the calibration for the gyroscope.

ec.rom: If I'm not mistaken, this is power management.

flexrom.img: I'm not sure what this does, but in the update script it says its modifying the fixwifi

If you found this post helpful, give thanks :)

4.010.10_COM_GEN2 to 4.010.13_COM_GEN2

Followed pfc.joker's info in post #18 and was able to update to .13.

It was freezing and getting ! triangle.

I had to restore to the bottom option in the Acer Recovery Installer v1.5 which is: Stock USA 1.141.07_COM_GEN1

Apparently I have no recovery image on my micro sdcard.

I am super new to android, this is my first android device. No smart phone.

I do have an iPad2, this is way more fun.

Thanks pfc.joker :).
[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:
Downloaded the update from this site, decrypted, and placed it on my external SD card.

Powered into CWM and did not check apply update.zip, but rather chose update from SD card.

Selected the decrypted file, update.zip, and the update applied immediately.

I am now at 4.010.13_COM_GEN2.

After a number of errors in the past, I am convinced much of the troubles stem from the external SD card itself. Cheap knock off cards caused me a lot of trouble.

I now have a SanDisk 32 GB class 4 card and have had no problems.

.13 con gen2

Ok went in to check if needed update.

A500 in USA

it was rooted with c2k's iconiaroot1.3

was at .11 com gen2

have not done anything no new roms or anything just rooted and done full back up only, had not had time to play and destroy....LOL

check for update status it showed there was an update update know at

.13 com gen2 and tablet is still rooted

during the process android and gears stopped read somewhere that guy just left it alone. I did the same it sat for about 2 min and then next thing i look back and it was reseting and all is well. no problems
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
apparently... this is only 14 MB compared to a 300 + MB as in a full rom...etc

why is this so ??

I am basing the info on the file name... Acer_A500_0.000.00_4.010.13_COM_GEN2

Going from 0.000.00 to something is a full rom... yet, this is only 14Mb ( interim updates )

Damn Acer screwed up again...as usual ! :mad:

[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
I assume you got the market 'acer recovery installer v1.5' installed?

if not go get it and simply select the 'stock' recovery image, install it and reboot.

This program will allow you to flip between stock and thors CWM recovery images.. very nice indeed...
[Acer Iconia A500] pfc.joker:
Sounds to me like they finally added the "wifi patch" that's been sitting up on the support site? I needed it in .11 to connect to work (PEAP/MSCHAPv2) - haven't been in the office to check if .13 works without the patch (then again the patch could still be working from when I applied back at .11 - hard to say).
[Acer Iconia A500] pfc.joker:
Yeah that got me too, so much for keeping with standard naming conventions - the other thought is that maybe it upgrades from any of the 4.010.xx? But then again they should have named it 4.010.xx_4.010.13 or something, one thing I'm learning about Acer nothing makes sense when it comes to their updates - I'm still boggled by the whole Europe is at 4.010.42 while US is at 4.010.13 - way to confuse the hell out of everyone.
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
Yeah.. in looking over various upgrades/full roms tonight from the different codetrains.. it looks like the first number is the minimum rom version to get to the second number. Since it's a patch, it would apply to any version that pulled it.... as long as the base rom is a US version.
[Acer Iconia A500] lafatlife:
l have never received any of the ota updates. I check all the time but it always says that my system is up to date. It is not as it is still 3.019.04 Gen 1. What am I doing wrong?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
You're not doing anything wrong bro, it's Acer and their non-logical way of distributing OTA updates. If you want timely updates, it appears as though you'll have to do them yourself. So much for making this a user friendly tablet to most of the population, as they haven't a clue about flashing their tab to a different, or updated ROM. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
Well, it appears you're on the Chinese rom. As long as you're on that rom you will never get updates, but never fear: there's a simple solution. There are several Roms on this forum that can save you, such as the 4.010.11 floating around here, as that particular number is a full rom, and official.
[Acer Iconia A500] lafatlife:
I don't think it is the Chinese one as it is stock, bought in CT a few months ago.
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
Well 3.019 isn't an official rom :/ and you can't get updates from it. Someone probably screwed around with it, realized they didn't know how to get it back to stock, and returned it. The version numbers jump from 1.141.07 to 4.010.08 on us roms, no 3.xxx.xx roms for any region except the chinese beta rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Did you registered your Acer? I remember reading somewhere once that OTAs from Acer were based on serial number in the registration DB
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
Not true. Many, including myself get updates and I never registered. It wouldn't hurt to register anyway though
[Acer Iconia A500] eooxx:
hey, just learned about update. i currently have .11 GEN2 like you did.

all i've got is root access (no CWM or anything)

how do i install the update? do i just unroot and then update system?
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I have been on stock since I purchased the tablet and I am currently on the newest U.S ROM. If people aren't getting updates it's because they either:

1. purchased the tablet from craigslist, ebay or basically second hand and the tablet had been modded by the original owner

2. performed a manual update themselves and not knowing Acer's process, slapped a Chinese ROM on their U.S device, a US ROM on their European device, etc. etc. the choices are extensive OR

3. are EXTREMELY unlucky (especially in case of the Chinese ROMs which do need to be updated to some extent, manually).

I am going to go out on a limb and defend Acer here because I've had no problem receiving updates and no annoyances apart from 1 or 2 error messages when I try to update while I have an sd card in the device.

I'd say for the most part, the update process is quite user friendly and easy. You either wake up with a notif. that there's an update available or you check yourself - if one's available, you pop out your SD card and reboot the unit (jic there's a rogue app or something else making funnies inside), once it's up and running again, check for the update and download/apply it. Voila! Done.

For the record, the error thing happens with other tablets as well, at least I know it happens with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 sometimes.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert.C:
Sorry, this may have been asked loads but I've got to ask.

This is my second android device, my first being a HTC Desire which was rooted and I could quite happily flash any ROM that I lay my eyes upon. Rooted fine using unRevoked method etc and the goldcard antics. - It scared me to do but when I had it done then was comfortable flashing new roms all the time. I had CWM 2.5(I think) as my recovery and wiped data/cache/dalvik with ease.

Is the Atrix on par with that? I mean after I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, I am wanting to just have the stock gingerbread rom and then the fixes that I'd need like the ram fix etc.

But really, just how hard(& scary) is it rooting, unlocking and flashing GB rom?

[EVO 4G General] pulazki:
I have had my EVO for close to 6 months now without ever having an issue. I have been running MIUI for a little over a month and never had any issues. I recently just updated to the newest build, and when i restored all my apps (one of which was google voice) i realized i stopped receiving my text messages. After researching the issue i found a ton of similar people saying that google voice was the cause of it. So i set my google voice up and tested it.. and i WAS able to get my texts but only if i use the Google Voice. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall it like 50x, and i've gone onto google.com/voice and disabled it and re-enabled it 50x. I have checked the box that says 'Allow text messages to go to this phone' or something like that, I've checked every possible setting on Google Voice.. Nothing. So i figured okay, I'll do a full factory reset back to Sense. I DID THIS, AND STILL NOTHING, so then i did a full factory reset, and didn't sign into my Google Account, still no texts. Basically it's like Google Voice has taken my phone number over and is not allowing my text messages to go through and no matter what i do to disable or uninstall it, nothing works.. I have to use google voice to get my texts.. So then i contact Sprint and i've spoken to 3 different reps who have tried everything from their end even attempting to remove google voice from their end to get my texts to go through. I've done everything but change my number. Right now i'm on sense and Another thing i realized is.. I cannot do the ## commands in the phone dialer.. Like two commands i know are ##DATA# and another is ##MSL-CODE# but when i type them in .. the phone dialer just hangs and freezes and no menu comes up. I've done almost 5 factory resets, I've tried not logging into my google account on my phone, I've uninstalled google voice from my phone and from my PC.. Sprint is telling me that they'll waive my 100 fee for the insurance phone, but since i run MIUI, the new insurance phone wont be able to be rooted and i'll be stuck with SENSE and i do not want that. DOES ANYONE, ANYONE AT ALL Have any clue what-so-ever that might be the cause or any hack or possible thing i could do to fix this, and why do you think that the ## codes are not working on my stock sense rom either? Everything else on my phone works entirely fine except receving texts through my native app and using those codes on my sense rom in the dialer. I can't receieve texts on MIUI or Sense through their native apps... the only way to get them is through Google Voice.. Please anyone! HELP ME!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] MadS91:
+1 I've read somewhere that there was an Windows Phone 7 ROM for HD2 and was linked to this thread. But there was several faults, like making the SDcard useless, no why to save anything because of no storage and other things.

So I wanted to check out this forum to see if any new Beta2 had been made, but its just a chaos of threads and versions. Trying to read through the first sticky thread, but it links to a ton of other threads and no one mentions a second release/ BETA2 for the WP7 Mango ROM.

Am not the only one given up on these forums, so is it possible to make one stickythread with the latest ROM-update, with a guide to install, the faults in the ROM ++?

EDIT:

Realised I might be in the wrong forum, and should have gone to the Q&A and general one. But even though thats a more general thread explaning alot more, it doesnt give a good guide to what you need to know, do, and fix. Am used to Windows Mobile 6.5 and do not know anything about activation, app store, updates and stuff like that.
