Hi, I will try to be as consice and thorough as possible since I looked for it but didn´t find a similar post.
I bought a USA's A100. I had it with its factory rom, rooted and working fine.
The last week I saw an OTA upgrade and applied it (a short file) thinking it was to migrate to ICS. Then, after reset, it showed me a larger OTA upgrade: Acer_A100_041.202.01_COM_GEN2 (right now it's at HC 3.2.1 A100_2.013.02_COM_GEN2). First it gave me the known network problem message, but finally I downloaded and applied the OTA file, it failed showing an android with an exclamation point, and after one minute, reset itself to the menctioned HC.
I've downloaded and tried the same file several times with different scenarios. I even restored factory defaults via settings->privacy menu. All without success.
I found that the reset method menctioned here (power button + volume up) doesn't work for me: and as soon as it boot into recovery mode (a small console at top left with some text lines and an android with gears working) I get the warning sign with the exclamation point again and after a minute, it goes back into HC.
Any ideas on how to fix it to try the upgrade to ICS again?
I made some progress
I found that the power buttom + volumen up is for entering into recovery mode, which doesn't work in my case. I also found a hard reset method: power buttom + volume down + moving the lock switch while booting. It gives me similar results to settings->privacy->restore factory settings. Now I'm shure my bootloader is working fine.
So the question turns into: what can I do to make my tablet take the OTA upgrade from 3.2.1 GEN2 to 4.0.3 GEN2?
Thanks

Downgrade to GEN1.. and then go to ICS...it would help. In Acer's own words... few GEN2 builds have compatibility issues with updates...
remove root
To update you a100 you need not to be root... it happened to me and i did a full restore hc rom without root... after 2 updates ICS arrives...
good luck

I already tried that. Once I managed to do a hard reset, I lost root access, and still couldn't upgrade.

Maybe, but in one hand I read that some people downgraded from 3.2.1 GEN2 to 3.2 GEN1 to receive "your device is up to date" (sort of) messages, and on the other hand, why would acer/google push an invalid/incompatible update to my device? It doesn´t make sense.
Anyways, I´ve captured the pushed OTA 2.013.02_COM_GEN2 update.zip to 041.202.01_COM_GEN2, put it on my external_sd, but it didn´t take it. So I am collecting updates.zip from over this forum, but so far 2.007.4 or 2.013.04 doesn´t work for me either.
[Update]
So, will try downloading 3.2 GEN1 1.014.08 to try later 3.2.1 GEN1 and finally 4.0.3 GEN1 to see if it works for me.
It seems that there may be some GEN1`s that are not getting updated.
I am running stock, no root.
Acer_A100_2.013.04_COM_GEN1
When i try to update it tells me my version is the newest
ICS Update
I had the same problem. This is what I did.
Turned off the Automatically check for system updates.
Then pressed check now and that found the updates.
There is no way to flash without external_sd ?
If i enter in Recovery mode it found a update.zip (i think it's the 17mb update) and start to flash but end with error.. then.. where is the update.zip which it found ?
if i try to search update.zip by adb
Code:
# find . | grep update
find . | grep update

You're halfway there. You can download the ICS one I grabbed during the OTA after the mini update. I have both here the mini update and the ICS one.

I have a gen 2 and I'm rooted with stock ROM. I just got the OTA update message. Haven't updated though.
Does anyone know if I update, will I lose root? I need this thing to do AdHoc wifi and that is the reason why I rooted it in the first place.

Yes. You can re-apply it as long as is HC, ICS is another stuff, WIP for what I read.
Anyways, going back to the original post:
I was able to downgrade from 3.2.1 GEN2 to 3.2 GEN1 to start over from 3.2.1 GEN1 to a newer 3.2.1 GEN1, and finally to ICS PA_CA GEN1. It was all OTA. Sweet, until it boot the new OS. Now I don´t have spanish GUI, only Canadian English & French as well as something I think means Chinese (2).
How do I add a new language support to ICS?, and
Anyone found how to root ICS? (which problably I will need).
Im running Acer_A100_2007. 02_COM_GEN2, and just got back notification of a 227 mb update. Downloaded, installed, but mid way through the screen with the green android logo with the turning gears, it rebooted. But it rebooted into this version of HC (to be honest, I'm not sure if it was a different version before), and it says I'm up to date...
Did i just fail my ics update too, or did acer release a huge HC update?
Hi,
Finaly, i have ICS but not without issue :
I was on 2.013.03_PA_CA and each time i downloaded ICS (don't remember the version but it was a PA_CA with 192.56 Mo or something like) the procedure fails at about 25%.
After 6 or 7 failure i decided to downgrade to HC GEN1 (don't remember the version) and i continued to upgrade my A100 until ICS.
And all was without issue. Now i have ICS ACER_AV041_A100_1.017.00_PA_CA
I think PA_CA is linked to the serial number ( like IMEI for my phone P970 : LG give me only update from my GSM provider)
In fine, thanks to the forum for helping me.

I'm on Acer_A100_2007. 01_COM_GEN2.... I had the exact same thing happened to me.... This OTA updating is getting quite annoying.. You'd figure they would just load the update to their site and let people update manually...

I don´t think so. My unit was originally a COM_GEN2. I switched into a GEN1, and in the end I was also given the PA_CA upgrade. So what I see is Acer/google are giving us differential upgrade files based upon the original firmware, and that lead us in one direction or another (some working some not, BTW).

You will lose root but you can reroot using the ICS rooting method by ZeroNull in the dev section. I've rooted all the ICS this way including the leaked 9,12,14 and the official OTA. I've also been able to go back and forth to any version even to HC (requires hard reset) by doing the manual flash.

Ok
The first time it showed up (when activating), it offered the OTA update and I declined. Then I took it home, rooted the phone, and everything went well...
BUT I can't find the OTA update anymore... and the SD card bug is killing me!!!!
Is there any other way of installing it?????
From the main screen
Menu - Settings - System Updates
Check all 4 to see if any updates are available but im pretty sure "HTC software update" was the OTA
Actually go over to android central and download rvu 1.1 its based on the newest ruu with that update included and its still rooted
Btw this should be in general section not development
I know, but it keeps telling me that there is no update available!!!
And I am running
Baseband: 1.39.00.04.26
Build: 1.32.651.1 CL171253 test-keys
Software: 1.32.651.1
And it keeps telling me YOUR PHONE IS UP TO DATE
Is there any way to force it????

But, that ruu is missing may of the included apps (all the sprint and HTC ones, and I need them). Also, it wipes all the information....,
So, no other way?
Besides I read that that particular ruu kills the 4g radio...
So, I am the only one or most of you are running without the OTA update?
I like to root, in fact the wifi tethering is working great, but the SD issue is really annoying....

i too couldn't get the update to re-show up after not accepting it the first time. i went to system updates and tried both htc and firmware, and the OTA update still wouldn't show. Then i enabled wifi, soft reset, and boom, it showed up. Give it a try, worked for me....

Well, I had it on wifi all the time, and no luck.... now... when you say "soft reset", how exactly? I just turn it off, and then turn it on again... Is there a soft reset option that I am missing somewhere?
If the root changed your recovery you likely won't get OTA's anymore.

Ok, that's what I was suspecting...
So.. what are my options now? Is there a way of getting the updates manually? or is there a way of changing the recovery back or modifying some settings to re-allow updates?
I had the same problem after installing one of the custom firmware images. Never could get the OTA to show up. I ended up installing the stock .6 firmware using the RUU.
Look for the "[ROM]RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6" thread in EVO 4 Android Development. (sorry, new user account on the forums, it won't let me post links yet).

I just got an android 48.6MB software push on my phone today, anyone know what it is? for that matter where are the software pushes stored?
Perhaps the new EK02 update? It has been push for the past days system wide.
Use the search button, it is your friend...
Either way, its an update to get rid of the LOS issues people were having among other bug fixes. and as far as i know, it is stored in /cache
Didnt see it in /cache unless its hidden, thank you for reply it was EK02
Does anyone know how this would trouble rooting?
I know that I had been rooted, I applied the update (since I knew it was coming and what it was for), error message popped up and phone locked. As a result I used CWM and restored an old backup and sure enough everything is fine. Unrooted, factory reset, applied update. I am good.
Now how do I root? Can I root? What root method? I have been using the ZedoMax 4.1 root with Odin but I am not sure that this is the best root out there. Would any of these revert the update?
Thanks!
Booo 2.3.6/EK02 didnt fix shutter, focus sound now, I still wake the baby up if I take a photo. Is there a Non-Root kill for this that works 100% because I notice if you use the barcode scanner app it doesnt make a shutter noise.
hello all,
Can I do apply this update..?
I ask you because, my phone are only unlocked...I use my phone on Mexico
NOTE: The phone not ROOTED..!!
I waiting your response....

theres some app for no shutter sound, it acutally might be called that no shutter cant remember..
If not, just flash a rom that has camera sounds removed?
So, I'm on Blazer ROM and I'm getting the update push. Will it brick me if I update? I seriously don't need that at the moment so its in my best interest to figure that out first before I go ahead.
Did anyone else try to update theirs? I have EK02 and Starburst 1.9.8. I just want to make sure this won't brick my phone or do any damage. I'm away from home for another three weeks and I wanna make sure this update won't make mine a useless piece of crap.
Annoying that root ed people are getting the update push as well...
Does that mean it's tied to your acct?
Should probably expect more of these in the future...I wouldn't install it on a root ed phone...
...
Has anyone on a rooted Epic 4G Touch ran this update? And if so, did it unroot or brick anybody? I'm getting tired of getting the update notification pop-up.. I'm either going to follow the guide to removing it, or run the update, depending on any official word that it won't screw up my customized phone... I certainly don't want to have to redo everything.
Thanks in advance!
I tried to run the update it restarted my phone and it give me a explanation mark with green android icon. wtf does that mean??? I restarted the phone now the update message doesn't even pop up assuming it updated it???
Android version : 2.3.4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 zedomax
hardware version: d710.10
buildnumber: midnight rom 2.0
I blindly installed the OTA yesterday.
I had Rooted stock version of 2.3.4.
Now I have Rooted 2.3.6.
Looked up information all yesterday and all I could see was LOS fix and system RAM was increased by decreasing the OS requirements (somehow). Some people said this
made their phone perform faster.
Right away I noticed I had to reset all my bluetooth connected devices.
No other problems were noticed. I am still rooted, woohoo.
Just tried installing this on the latest Blazer Rom (not the beta one) and got a error after restarting. It then booted into Team Rogue recovery and I rebooted the phone and now it dosen't ask me for a update. My baseband version is eg30 and kernel is ek02. Don't think I am doing something wrong, if I am can someone tell me

Well I think it's a good thing it didn't ask me because I didn't want the update considering I like my ROM. The update only fixes LoS issues and other problems. You can actually find the updated kernel on these forums and flash it to your phone if you have problems with signal otherwise the update really doesn't do much.
You can also flash to Blazer Rom EL13 beta rom and it will improve your data speeds but users have reported slower WiFi speeds. It also gets rid of the update message since its the latest update. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
TL;DR: The update is useless unless you have LoS issues.

Hello xda people! I just joined the forums after reading about the new system update for a while. I just wanted to know if in order for me to get the new update to 3.2.1 i need to change my GEN since i have GEN2. Or if i could just do the update manually from you guys, or if i should wait for it? Ive seen now the us is getting it, but i havent had any update at all.
from what I can tell you with my device which came with gen2 software I downgraded to the gen1 stock firmware avail in the dev section an hit update an got my 2 updates to the latest version out right now.
I see, well i downloaded one of the GEN1. I would like to know what's the process of downgrading, I'm new to all of this and don't know what to do to be honest (Even though I always catch up really fast lol). I want to downgrade so I can get the update. Thank you.
You don't need to do anything of the sort, there's a flash able GEN2 3.2.1 .zip for us GEN2 guys, you just need to download it, decrypt it using the Acer decrypt tool, put the decrypted file in the root of the SD card, turn off the device and hold volume up and power until Mr. Android with Gears shows up and automatically updates it.
Thanks, littleemp, I think I found it, though it says GEN1, the person said it works for both GEN1 and GEN2.

Awesome, thanks a lot!
I have a little problem with the download, I've downloaded that .zip you gave me twice already and it says the file is either unknown format or damaged. Any idea of what's happening?
Per post #4, you have to decrypt it with the decrypter tool in one of the other threads and then drop it onto the main sdcard folder. And then reboot as explained above.

I don't even know what changes were on that update though, I thought the only really bad bug on these devices was the headphones thing.
In any case, assuming the timetable that Acer gave us for ICS holds up, then it shouldn't be very far off, so I'm just going to sit tight and wait for it.

Were you rooted?
Yes
Is your bootloader unlocked?

Did you have a modified build.prop?

Maybe is the root the problem ? All others have no root ?

Do you know how to un-root? I can try if this solves the problem.

Found the way to un-root, but I got the same problem with the update
Any idea?
I tryed a Hard Reset but nothing to do.. I think the only way is to write at acer support

That's what I'm thinking reading the other responses. I'll try removing root after work when I can get to my tablet again (it's flush mounted in the dash of my car) and see if that fixes it.

Ops! I really need to sleep
I had root when i got mine. I got the 17 meg. Then i went in and did a check for updates it gave me the big ics update and that failed at almost 100% saying the WiFi signal was too week even though i was about 2 feet away from the router it may be the update is corrupted. try flashing the newest hc update it may fix your issue.
I think I found a solution: I just installed the stock ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611696
Ho to:
1. Download the file in the firs post
2. Rename it update.zip and put it in the root of the external SD (you need a MicroSD)
3. Reboot into recovery: turn off, press volume up and keep it pressed, turn on, wait for update to complete
Hope this help ;-)
It's possible that it comes today/tomorrow at some point!!

Yes, major speculating here, but usually Nvidia is very very quick with updates. SO let's all hope and pray. This COULD also be the Nvidia Spot announcement/availability.
Tomorrow 29th or today 28th. Their message is very cryptic. Google Assistant was just released for Nvidia Shield TV! Not Oreo unless they have their own announcement since Assistant one was by Google
Apparently some people are updating to Oreo already. But it looks like US only. :crying:
edit...not Oreo

Wonder if changing the language to English US will force it to work like with phones. I'll have a play about tonight.
Also...from what I understand this is Nvidia Experience 6 and not Oreo. The new launcher is not yet here for the shield.

I can confirm that Google Assistant, can be enabled by changing the language
Just got the update. But it failed to install. It downloads the update and restarts the shield, but never finishes the install. Stops at about 20% on the Android System Update Screen then restarts back to the home screen asking if I want to install the Experience 6.0 update. Is it because I'm rooted? I don't have TWRP installed but I do have superuser installed....Tried 3 times.

I always remove root then do the update. No TWRP either but it would always fail on me.

Got #root#?!
If so, well there's your problem. You can NOT update in the conventional way once your rooted. In short you'll have to first download, and use fastboot, to flash the last 5.0.x Recovery For (Chiefly Recovery, System, and Vendor), and then most likely as not do a full system reset. Which if your unfortunate to be doing this on a Pro. Will mean about roughly 2.5h's+ of downtime. Before you'll then need to worry about the latest Update.
Unfortunately I keep telling myself to never root the damned thing again. 'Cause this IS a huge PitA! but, somehow I never learn.

Alas One does NOT just remove root on the Shield. And, sadly 'cause of it. The only way I know of to be rid of it is flashing a new (Clean Recovery OS), and then factory resetting it fresh for the "New OS" to actually get written. Otherwise root seem to longer like a bad smell on the Shield.
And, now an aside...
Where is all this scuttlebutt about Oreo (Cookie), coming from?
Having done the above... (Sigh again!) I just finished wrapping up that part of the Install. When it occurred to me to check the Version... Which is still Android 7 (e.g. Nougat), so unless someones getting something I'm not. Then, this is not the Chocolate Wafer Cookie your looking for....
Which begs a different question. Why are they calling this "Experience 6..x", and not 5.x.x?

I don't know about any Oreo update, but I updated to the new release without doing any data reset. Simply boot to fastboot and flash the downloaded system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img. No need to clear data. Then in the system you can install the OTA as normal and re-root using TWRP and Magisk/SuperSu.

Can you elaborate on this? Maybe post a small guide? I am bootloader unlocked, and currently rooted, but recovery is stock. Where do I get the files you are talking about? Download, boot, and recovery img files? Thanks in advance!
