Hi friends!

Look here if you want to update your a700 manual (with update.zip)

http://www.android-hilfe.de/showthread.php?p=4175671

Instruction:

1. Download update.zip

2. Move it to root directory of the sdcard

3. Reboot your a700 into recovery

4. Choose apply/sdcard/update.zip. or something similar xD

5. Let it install

6. Welcome JB ;D

Info this is the German update.

I dont know if this works with different firmware.

no update for a510?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
Need some opinions please...

I have an A700 that has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. I can temporarily "hide" the root with OTA Rootkeeper. I keep checking for the JB update and if I leave the root in place, I get the error message that states my device cannot receive an update and to contact Acer support. HOWEVER, when I "hide" the root and check for the update, I get the message "Your device is up to date."

So, my question is this. Will the fact I have an unlocked bootloader block the update even though the tablet is showing "temporarily unrooted" with OTA Rootkeeper? If the unlocked bootloader blocks the update, is there a simple procedure to "re-lock" the bootloader?

I figured someone in this group who is a lot smarter on this stuff than I am can maybe shed some light for me.

Thanks! :)

I did manage to get the tablet to flash "Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC06_PA_CU S1" since I couldn't find the later ROM. My tablet went back to an "unroot" and "locked stock" bootloader, which was my goal.

Now....IF I had the latest ICS ROM, or knew where to find it, I would flash it to make my tab ready for the JB update. If you know where I can find the latest ICS ROM, I would sure appreciate it!- Thanks to all of you on these boards that help people like me out! :)

My A700 was rooted and bootloader unlocked.

To get back to factory stock, I flashed the "Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC06_PA_CU S1" My tablet went back to an "unroot" and "locked stock" bootloader, which was my goal.

I uninstalled Superuser and made sure none of the "rooted" apps were in play. My tablet is "Device info version 1.0" and my SNID is 22211159xxxx, "Code SN is HTH9ZAA0072221xxxxxxxx.

It seems like many with the same SNID sequence as mine have received the update. I am wondering if there is something on my tablet that is keeping me at the "Your device is up to date" status and not allowing the update to come thru...

A REALLY quick question...

Has anyone received the update WITH an UNLOCKED bootloader? In addition, I am also running Lookout protection on my tablet. Has anyone had an issue with that? I can remove it, but I can't see how that would block the upgrade from being available for download. I am NOT using the McAfee AV application, so that rules that out.

I'm just perplexed as to why the update hasn't come thru for me yet. I was rooted and had an unlocked bootloader, but I did a Factory Reset and flashed the stock ROM back to the tablet, and the root is definitely gone and I don't get the unlocked bootloader script when I start the tab normally, or when I try to start in Recovery mode.

I don't want to contact Acer because of their standard answer of "send it in for repair". I hate to keep wearing everybody out with this, but this one has me scratching my head as to why this is such an issue.

Any and all help appreciated, and thanks in advance! :)

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] eman01:
OTA update required 1.057

Haven't seen a direct answer or your response of problem solved, so here goes:

Which ROM did you flash? I have a US A700 which was also rooted and unlocked (with the standard "Not eligible for update. Contact Tech Support" message). I also run Lookout, which has never seemed to make a difference with updates. I went back to stock by using CWM to flash Build # Acer_AV043_A700_1.029.00_PA_CUS1. This was successful in removing root AND relocking bootloader. When I checked for update however, it said my tab was up to date (just like you). I reluctantly (and skeptically) called Acer tech support, who were of absolutely no help - "maybe it will happen in the next couple days". Yeah, right.

On my own I then decided to flash the final ICS update Build # 1.057.00_PA_CUS1. After the reboot, etc. when I checked for the Jelly Bean update, my tablet updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1.

So the moral here is that my US A700 did NOT want to update to Jelly Bean from ICS Build # 1.029; it did so immediately after I updated to ICS Build # 1.057.

Does this help?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mt82lfc:

Need Build # 1.057

Yes, this does help! I have been looking for the 1.057 build and can't find it. I wanted to update to that ROM to see if that made a difference. I have a "small" update of 35 mb in size, but that won't load. I didn't use CWM to flash. I simply put the stock 1.029 ROM on my SD Card and did the standard reboot into recovery mode to get the ROM to flash. That worked. But, when I tried the smaller 35 mb update, it wouldn't. SO, if you have the 1.057 build you could put somewhere or tell me where to get it, I will try that. I appreciate your help!

Itchiee...please read..

Itchiee, This is the smaller update I was talking about. I downloaded it to my PC and then placed in the root directory of my SD Card and tried the standard "power and Vol- " button sequence. The tab acts like it is going thru the process and then I get the "Android belly up" image and the update doesn't go thru. I can try to download directly to tab to see if that makes a difference. FYI- I also put the update in the root of my internal tab when the external SD Card didn't work. Same results...

UPDATE- I downloaded directly to my tablet and it came to the sd\download folder. I tried the update process- No Go. Then I copied the update to the root of the internal SD- No Go. SO, I then copied to the root of my external SD- Same thing, No Go!

For whatever reason, my tablet won't take this small 35 mb update. If there is a full ROM of the 1.057 build, I don't know where to get it.- I am stuck at what to do next. Maybe I need ot keep waiting for Acer to push the update, but this isn't looking very promising at this point..

OK, I am trying to stay away from CWM for now. I actually had the update installed at one time without CWM, but when I flashed the stock ROM back to re-lock the bootloader and remove root in case that was blocking the update, I can't install the 35 mb update. I can try to unlock the bootloader again, and then install the update. But then, I have an unlocked bootloader and I am thinking that may block the JB update.

Unfortunately that guy was correct.

After updating to 1.029 I unlocked the boot-loader, then installed CWM, then installed the hacked 1.057 update.

As soon as it was done booting up it said I have an update, I didn't even have to ask it to look...

Now I downloaded it, unlocked and rooted my tablet but cannot locate the file.

And once I ask to check update again it tells me it cannot and to call tech support (due to be unlocked and rooted).

I'll try searching for the update if not then i'll just start over, but the good news is we can confirm how its triggered.
