Hi everybody,

(noob entering room) I just got the 3.21 update and it broke my wifi. I had excellent use and strength throughout my house and now it shows the strength but wont let browser, market, etc connect throught it. my tab will wifi tether to my galaxy 4g phone.

I want to either go back or get a fix on my wifi. i did the tab reset, wifi reset, and forum searches please help.

I wasn't rooted, but if I have to root...then fine, just want the ability to walk from corner to corner of house and use tab again.

Thanks for any help.

[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
So indeed this is Acer_A500_7.006.01_7.014.01_COM_GEN2.

Basically, it does:

1/ patch most of the google applications/framework/libraries (but not the bloatware)

2/ patch the boot/kernel

3/ install a new recovery patcher, attempted at next boot

4/ remove the previous market (Phonesky/Vending)

5/ add a new market version (Phonesky)

Consequences for rooted people:

1/ It will disable any existing su/root because of a recursive set_perm on /system/bin, so this would requires a sticky bit to be added.

2/ It will wipe CWM because of #3.

3/ It does not install the locked bootloader (supposedly already been done by earlier updates).
[Acer Iconia A500] mknewman:
Are you going to be able to get us a CWM version that won't whack our root?
[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
Actually I have an A501 with another revision installed.

It should be quite simple to "sanitize" this official update, but I cannot decently test it, so this would be better for someone with this tab/version to do it (I don't want to be responsible for screwing your tab because of blind patching :D)

[Acer Iconia A500] JulieB42:
Had an update show up Wednesday with the new market. And then last night a large update was pushed to the tablet. I'm now on Gen2.

[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
Updated: Fixed the Root file.

I flashed the Acer_A500_7.006.01_7.014.01_COM_GEN2 update using acer patch decrypter in clockwork recovery. I also made my own rooter patch for it and it works. I still have root access after this patch. I havent updated to xxx.02 yet but I'll do that soon.

I attached my root zip. Just run it in clockwork recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] theheathen:
Sorry, I'm not understanding what you did. Can you explain it a little better? Do you still have CWR?
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
First off, you need root. Once you download the update, don't install it. You can then get the root file in the /cache folder. Get this to your computer, and use the Acer Decrypter tool to extract the update.zip file. Then install the update.zip using clockwork recovery, and follow that by installing the root patch. You can then do the same thing again for the 2nd acer update (xxx.02).

I'll try to build a stock rom based on the latest update soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] theheathen:
Do you still have recovery? I thought the patch wipes recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] toastthemost:
Just got the 3.2.1 OTA update and GEN2 about 3 days ago. Location: Oklahoma.

[Acer Iconia A500] Nathatruc:
how did you instal the update.zip ?

it doesn't work for me everytime I get an error status 7

and there's and red triangle with the bee.

wich version of the cwm are you using ?
[Acer Iconia A500] fdrsoft:
For those interested, I'm from France, I was in the A500 series Gen1

To get the latest version GEN2, install the package:

Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip

and then put the latest version 7.014.01.

Here is the difference between version 7.009.03 (Gen1) I:

- Huge improvement in battery life

- Games such as Golf & HD 3 now works GOF2THD

- A500 Faster

If anyone can me to update the version 7.014.02, thank you

If it was a full rom, you could get away with you, probably with loss of 3g functionality. Seeing as it's just as update, however, it most likely will not work on the A501.

[Acer Iconia A500] mrtoken:
Are you rooted still? I had the problem with an old update, had custom recovery installed, had to go back to stock recovery and then had to un-root it.

Rebooted, downloaded the update again then update worked fine.

Have not rooted the device after that.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:

Are you?? Iconia works for 3.1 only? I'd check you are definitely running stock recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Should I make my own thread for this?

OK, so I am rooted, running stock 3.2.1 ROM, or whatever the last stock rom was before these OTAs started coming out (I think I have 7.006.xx Com GEN 2). When I told Acer Recovery Installer to install stock recovery, it finishes and tells me I have the stock recovery installed. When I try just rebooting into recovery, it reboots to a blank screen with the triangle and ! inside it. I boot back up normally, Acer Recovery tells me I have the stock recovery installed still. So I tried running Iconiaroot to unroot,. When it says "Sleeping in 5s", it says something went wrong, still rooted.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
yeh u might need yr own thread:)

so....you are on 3.2.1 trying to install the 2nd update??

Found updates files to use on Stock 7.006.03_COM_GEN1 to bring it to 3.2.1

Hello, I've had troubles to updating my Brazilian A500 (USA hardware as it seems) from 7.006.03_COM_GEN1 (3.2) to 7.014.XX (3.2.1) after installing a custom firmware and re installing the stock ROM (installed from 3.0.1 used to downgrade it through stock recovery) and bringing it back to 3.2 through OTA.

(Tablet was 3.2.1 already, downgraded to 3.0.1, rooted it, installed ICS themed custom rom, downgraded the ROM and recovery image to stock used on 3.0.1, OTA to 3.2, stuck)

Finally I've found links at http://4pda.ws/forum/index.php?showtopic=234711&st=9180 from post made by fguy. Here goes them:

http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A500_7.006.03_7.014.03_COM_GEN1_1323308883515_31d848fd.zip - This will bring the tablet from 3.2 to 3.2.1

After installing it the OTA process worked and downloaded the patch from 7.014.03 to 7.014.15, but here goes the link to manually download it:

http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A500_7.014.03_7.014.15_COM_GEN1_1323308839169_f1f99009.zip

You will need to get the AcerUpdate Decrypter and run it to extract the update.zip inside those files and put them at the root of a microSD card and follow the stock recovery to install them.

Hope that those links can help the folks that returned to stock ROM and don't want to root the tablet to bring it to 3.2.1 Stock ROM.

Looking for an ODIN-able ROM, but for the latest official 2.3 release.

I think the option on this thread is the closest:

A couple questions:

1. All GB ROMs use EXT4 by default, correct? So I do not need to worry about RFS vs. EXT4 any longer?

2. Since I can use any modem, I could flash EI22 modem after flashing the above?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krzych:
Because I googled almos everything now, I have to ask here.

Did anyone have a problem with constantly apearing question about which application would like you to use even when you checked "always" about hundred times before?

It seems to happen every time but some cases when you do something again and again. When you stop, wait a while or do something else and then do the same again, you will be prompted again which application to use.

it makes me CRAZY!!! It lasts about a month and I HATE MY PHONE because of this. Imagine this while driving! %^&*$

Anyone, please help me.

I'm running LeeDroid 3.3.3 GingerBread (stable one) and it seems not connected to the system coz it started much later than flashing occured. I suppose that one of installed apps could break something or even the bloody market (it often "stucks" while getting pages - reboot makes it working again - and I have no problems with network - nope).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krzych:
Noone knows anything about it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
If you've installed a new app which does the same thing as an app you already had, you'll have to reset the defaults again (e.g. if you install Opera browser, you'll have to choose which browser to use the first time you click a link from any app (i.e. the first link you click from the browser, the first link you click from within an email, the first link you click from within Tweetdeck, the first link you click from the search tool, the first link you click from a text message, the first... you get the idea). But once you've selected 'Always' that default should persist until you clear defaults/uninstall the app/install another app that has the same functions.

However, a brief moment spent Googling has led to the suggestion that defaults only persist where the app is stored on the phone memory. Have you moved the apps in question to your SD card by any chance? Try moving them back and see if that helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krzych:
Exactly. And that's what i need to achieve. Mine "always" is ignored almost always.

Did not moved any of them, I like them in the phone memory as long, as it's only 55% full yet.

I suppose the problem is in storing the default. Something resets it or storage isn't available in time I'm making decision. But WHY? Or HOW? I cannot even guess, because I don't know specifics about storing default programs values... where or how they are stored.
