[Acer Iconia A500] linguini:
successfully upgraded, but had this exclamation mark in a red triangle problem

Before: 3.2.1 Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2

After: 4.0.3 Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1

worked fine (though camera seems have small glitch). However, I encounter a bigger problem. I saw a new release version of stock ROM (Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1) and thought of flashing it, as usual, placed the new rom (renamed as update.zip) in USB, and pressed power+volume down, I got a green robot with exclamation mark in red triangle:confused:.

anyone encounter similar problem? i tried for two days now and couldn't get it fixed (does this mean i will not be able to flash new ROMs in the future?). the tablet still worked fine.

any thoughts on what might have caused it or a solution perhaps? thank you.

had the same issue with the droid+exclamation mark, it's a problem in the SD card, try to use another one (or try to format it fat32) and it will work
[Acer Iconia A500] OldGaf:
When in doubt format it with your tablet.......
[Acer Iconia A500] linguini:
thank you tomrus72 and OldGaf.

[Acer Iconia A500] linguini:
update progress:

1) re-formatted usb flash - FAT 32 (the same one that I use which successfully upgraded me from HC to ICS), put in new ICS ROM, pressed volume down+power, and still get the exclamation mark in red triangle.

2) re-formatted sd card I use on my phone - FAT 32, put in new ICS ROM, pressed volume down+power, and get the exclamation mark in red triangle.

will get a new sd card and try it out.

my apologies if this post shouldn't be under this particular discussion.

[Acer Iconia A500] wolverine423:
couple things:

1. if you are on windows check if file extensions are hidden. if so, your update could be named update.zip.zip

2. could be a bad download

3. if you downloaded the rom from civato's thread with the recovery and bootloader removed, those will not flash with the stock recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] linguini:
Thanks Wolverine, I've checked #1 and #2, no problem. guess it's #3 as that's what I did. Guess I had to wait for the original ROM (with everything intact). Again, thanks.

I live in Brazil and I have an ICS ligthspeed Iconia A500 with 4.7 but I'm trying to install the original rom ICS Iconia, you can help me, could you so that you describe here to install the original rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] hugh_ah:
What I found

After several tries and just booting the A500, I found that I had to hold down the down-volume and power buttons PAST when the unit turned on.

You have to hold them down LONGER than just when the ACER logo appears. That tripped me up. If you hold them down until you see the command text start to scroll in the upper left hand corner, then you can release!

Now I've got the "gears" and am hopeful the update takes.

'course, it would have been nice if Acer hadn't dribbled out the update with a digital eyedropper! everyone I know had it long ago. I wonder if it's serial# driven.

You have to hold them down LONGER, until you see the tiny console text in the upper left hand corner!

I did this too.
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwicasperguy:
Worked for me

Thanks very much t_r_j and oldgaf.

Gave up waiting for acer, been using this since just after you first posted it up oldgaf, and the Tablet's been as stable as it was before the update. So thanks for that.... now the next question. You guys gonna help with the love for JellyBean :D. Cause I'd imagine your gonna get it out at least a couple of months before the Makers, or if it will even get released to us, they released about 4 newer models and updated those first. This webite and all the Dev's that share with us not so gifted individuals, Thanks, it's all appreciated.

[Acer Iconia A500] chi11ax:
Hi there! It's been a while since this update came out, but I guess the file is still accessible. Is it legit?

I have the screen flicker problem with my 4.0.3 GEN1 games, chrome, gmail, nova, etc would suddenly just "mess up", like start flickering and looking like display lines are out of sync and I can't do anything about it but kill task.

I thought I would flash to this rom instead and that might solve my problem.

I got my 4.0.3 in Asia but I bought my A500 in Canada.

Any thoughts about using this update.zip in my situation?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] the_hurricane_master:
bricked

Flashing this rom using stock recovery made my A500 bricked.

are there any official ICS ota updates for A500 flashable using stock recovery available for Gen1 (not CUS1)?

I am now on 3.2 not 3.2.1

Also are there any updates for making 3.2 --> 3.2.1 ?

thanks

Thank you so much it worked perfectly i did it today 30-12-2013 ... i had to change my memory card.. thats the only exception here
[Acer Iconia A500] wmrath:
Worked perfect! My wife was on the version without the EC updates. She was experiencing Wi-Fi connection issues everywhere except at home. Probably because at home she has a static IP. The tablet was useless away from the house. It kept dropping connection every 5-6 seconds. I had no problem with my A500, but am rooted and running Omni Rom. (I love it!) My wife is more conservative and only wants stock.

This is stable and works without issue.

BTW...my daughter has an A500 as well. She is running Reflex V7.xxxx. Another nice stable ROM.

This is a great tablet that still works very well despite age.

Next tablet will probably be the Galaxy Tab since I have an AC router, I would like to take advantage of it.

Thank you!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Alvasan:
Same as mine sir

Yes I just got it on my second hand tablet Iconia A500. As soon I figured out that the Download file was a double ZIP one, the update.zip was inside the posted: OS_Acer_7.014.02.041.205.01.PA.CUS1_A32H_A zip file, and unzipped the file to my external SD card in the tablet. The update just took less than 5 minutes. yeah the tablet was hooked to a laptop where I DL the OS_Acer_7.014.02.041.205.01.PA.CUS1_A32H_A named file. by the way, Acer said only compatible with GEN2. GEN1 has its own :) , really happy coz I got lot of working apps that needed 4.01 ICS :laugh:

help with upgrade please

Hi everyone,

I bought my Iconia A500 while working in the US. Now I want to upgrade it, but cannot find the suitable OS.

Do any of you perhaps still have the Acer_A500_7.014.02_041.205.01_COM_GEN2 OS which you can send my way?

I currently have

Model:	A500

android version:	3.2.1

if only people who didnt know what their talking about would shut the hell up.

trust me, several folks are working on a fix for this but as for right now the best that can be done is to hide the icon in the notification bar by making a transparent image to replace the icon in phone.apk.

but this will NOT remove the notification in the dropdown which is what im sure you are referring to. so dont let that guy lead you on a wild goose chase just cuz he doesnt understand your plain and simple question.
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Well, I was sure he was talking about in the status bar, so just because we're both sure of different things doesn't make either of us wrong. Maybe my previous answer was slightly rude, but I was offering the location of the best fix at the present moment.

So, with two different ways to interpret this question, we both helped him, I'm sure adequately. The links below will take you to the thread to remove the icon (not the notification).
