3.2.

Folks who previously updated to ''unofficial'' 2.001.01 do not seem to get the OTA upgrade. They have to downgrade to 3.2 stock to be able to get the ''official'' upgrade.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] californiarailroader:
It's a mystery to me, I see people in Puerto Rico are getting it now so we should be seeing it soon in the 50 states, it would be stupid to get it out to US Territories but not the US itself.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
I think it depends on if you have a gen1 or gen2 rom installed (not sure what the diff is between the two), not so much the location.

If someone who is elgible for the update (but hasnt done it yet) can get me a logcat file while they update I can get a link to download the update from it if it contains the right info.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] californiarailroader:
How do you determine that, by serial number?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
If you have a gen1 build you'll get more updates than gen2 or any other build (That's why I'm on gen2, I don't want the updates)

To find out what gen build your on goto the device setting and look under about tablet and look at the build number. It'll say at the end if its GEN1 or 2. There is no difference from what I can tell between the roms, my guess is it depends on when you bought the device possibly even a location identifier so acer can semi control who gets what update. (Gen1 for guinea pigs vs Gen2 stable).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hormigas:

So, I downloaded the update.zip because the OTA fails, put it on the ext. sd and internal sdcard, booted into recovery (power + volume on start), but all that happens is some gears turn on the android belly for about 5 seconds and then an exclamation mark pops up. The update to 2.007.04 does not work, however the OTA to 2.007.01 did.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Felilin, is the zip you posted the update from 2.007.01 to 2.007.04? Or 2.003.01 to 2.007.04? Maybe that's why it's failing.

Can someone post the update.zip for 2.007.01 to 2.007.04?

Cheers
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] felilin:
This file is intended to 2.007.01 to 2.007.04.

However, the file name was 2.003.01 to 2.007.04.

But This update is slightly different from the usual updates.

I'm sorry that we misunderstood;).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] OSN_Voodoo:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jjordan05:
Mine is GEN1, maybe that's why the update.zip you posted won't flash on my unit.

Does anyone have the update.zip for 2.007.01 -> 2.007.04 GEN1? It's a 3.81meg file.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] californiarailroader:
I applied the first, big update you posted, and it went great! Then when it booted back up I checked for any additional updates via the "check for updates" in the system settings and it said there were updates, and then it downloaded and installed the small, incremental update. I re rooted it after, and I have to say the device feels snappier and more polished, and the headphone issue is fixed as well. One thing, it says Gen1 in the "about device" now, but I know it's Gen2 so no worries. Thank you again for the files!

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Once you have updated to 2.007.01 go into the settings and check for an update, I did that after I flashed it and the system found the smaller, 2.007.004 update, downloaded it and applied it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jjordan05:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hormigas:
So I noticed the following:

I was on 3.2 Gen2. The browser was very slow when I would initially open it, especially if I had two or three tabs to load (it would often think it was freezing and ask if I wanted to force close). That doesn't occur now. Even if a page is taking a moment to load, I can easily hop between tabs without it being frozen.

The new market is nicer.

The headphone bug is fixed (THANK YOU!)

The lockscreen would occasionally be too laggy to unlock and I would have to try a couple of times before the lag went away.

It is generally more snappy and responsive.

It has a couple new items of bloat that weren't there before (oh well... ICS will fix that right up).

A couple of weird layout bugs that would occur when I visited webpages doesn't happen anymore (reddit in particular would have lots of extra white space).

Rooting OTA 3.2.1

Same method as rooting 3.2 only thing I found was that the instructions I had said to place SU Binary in the root of internal SD NOT external SD... but it wouldnt take until I placed at root of EXT SD... same with the update.zip files... need to be on root of EXT SD for mine to work... seems kinda wonky but thats the way I got them both to work...:confused:

On official OTA looks like a few extra apps are installed on system... Lumiread included...bit snappier... still has the issue of skipping screens while flinging them...

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bjones72751:
Where are you located and what build were you on before the ota? Just wondering if mine will be anytime soon. I've got the Gen2 build. Also if I root and flash a gen1 stock from would I get the new ota you think? I know gen1 devices are first in line.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
GEN1 is much better than GEN2, I'd highly recommend downloading the GEN1 zip from the dev section for the a100 and installing it. Once you do and if you check for updates you'll be prompted to download the ota update. After the first update is installed, try the updater again and you'll be prompted for a second ota.

After you have both, then you can root (if you want). You dont have to root to install the GEN1 update.zip and even if you're rooted and on GEN2 you can still do the update.

Once your on GEN1 and are on the latest build if you decide to root, you can do some interesting mods that can really enhance your tab.....

Please forgive the ignorance I've been following the thread and want to make sure I have everything correct.

I have an A100: Acer_A100_1.018.05_COM_GEN2 or (Gen2) device and I have no updates available.

I should do the following:

Step1: downgrade to

Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1

http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=109

From thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307046

I assume when flashing I install on the external SD card as update.zip

Step2: upgrade to 3.2.1

Acer_A100_1.014.08_2.007.01_COM_GEN1

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8822437/update.zip

From: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21112158&postcount=91

Step3: Check for more updates within the system settings and then reroot?

This will improve some functions of the device correct?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Only do step 1 if you want to update over the air. Then you don't need step 2 possibly 3 neither. But there's a chance you're tablet might not see the update OTA.

OR

just do step 2 and 3 and be done with. No need to do step 1 for this since a downgrade is not required if your flashing via sd card.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dms76:
OK thanks I thought I had to downgrade before upgrade. I figure gen1 and gen2 would be an incompatible path.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BigGunn:

EDIT: It went into recovery to install, and hung with an Android holding a yellow caution triangle,trying to figure out the problem now

EDIT2: Yea the update trys to load then changes to that symbol mentioned above, then when i boot back into the OS, I get an "Update Failed" notice. Maybe something to do with a custom build.prop? I don't have the original lol
