Hey guys,
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but I managed to unbrick my A500 using this Update.zip
http://www.filesonic.com/file/958397621/acer_a500_0.000.00_1.122.01_emea_gen5_update.zip.html
It only has English, French and Arabic language support.
Interesting! Where'd you get this file?
unbrick tablet
Mine is a USA model. would this work?
I randomly stumbled across this while doing a Google search.
I tried flashing it on my Australian model (which I think is the same as the US) and it works fine.
wait, do you mean it supports Arabic in menus and reads and writes Arabic with no issues ?
please answer this because I'm so looking for something like this

Man, you discovered an amazing file! The Arab world salutes you
Edit: I hate filesonic, so sloooooooooow.
I will upload it to multiupload when I download it. Here's the link: http://www.multiupload.com/D3A2DU7X4D
What I don't understand is why files like these are NOT OFFICIAL from Acer ???
THANK YOU...I accidently deleted the wrong App Folder and my Acer Froze but I installed this Update but the problem I'm having now is that my Wifi either doesn't work or it can't connect to my 3G tether from my Droid 2....Does anybody else have Wifi Issues?
thanks a lot dr1337 for showing us the arabic support and finding this file
and thanks to you too mr.r9 for the multiupload link
now I can show off with my Iconia
I flashed this image to get out of a boot loop. It worked but now I have no lock screen and the home button doesn't work.
Try doing a factory reset.
now i have the chinese update.zip installed,can i overwrite with the engl./arab update.zip
ok,it works,
now i have the market back.
how do I get the update on Android 3.1
thnx to dr1337
but i need the german update.zip for complete restore
I am having a similar issue. I used this to get up US version unbricked and it worked, but now I am unable to update the tab to any of the newer versions. I have manually downloaded the 141.07 and tried to flash it and get and error about signature verification failed. any way around this now.
so I am guessing the update I tried to get before I realized my tab got bricked because I renamed the phone files I won't get it after flashing this update? I really would like the update that supposdly came out may26.
That worked

Where did you download the update?
Acer needs to put out a system recovery image with this Tablet. Their computers have them. The hoops we have to jump through to get OUR hardware working are ridiculous. Hell you can load a restore image on a freaking IPAD, but not this ?
a flashable factory recovery image should come with the tablet just like recovery partitions on some PCs.
Especially since the Acer update screwed up my tablet. All I had done is run gingerbreak and installed some screencap apps.
I hope the 3.1 update is better

For all rom-flashing-addicts (including myself), just came across and downloading this link:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/streak_350_15367_14.pkg
Not sure if anyone can decrypt and post the recovery image. I will try to flash this with the 309 or 345 recovery.
Awesome where did you find this?

Which recovery image did you use to flash this rom?
i decrypted it
Flash recovery from 345
then flash the pkg until it says reboot in 30 sec
then pull the memory card
and you should have the pkg.dec
Rename it to update.zip
reflash cmw or streakrecovery
and flash update.zip
Sounds long but its simple, if u r used to flashing streak
how do you decrypt it? could you share the update.pkg.dec pls?
decrypted pkg and updated wiki 345 is still the newest rom, the 350 build is approx 6 hours older.
files are all on the mirror site
I havn't checked the individial apps to see what's changed, but 350 is bundled with less apps (just from a file count of the app folder)
It's also (obviously) a branded rom, including a branded boot logo
It might have korean specific apps, but I dont plan on installing it, let other users instal and find out
Very branded and in Korean by default, got it running in eng and will run it for a while and see how it performs (deff has the pre 345 stage version).
*Update, nothing of major interest to me in this rom. going back to 347 (also even with language set to eng some things are still in Korean, not a show stopper but anoying).
cheers

Not all versions are posted to the ota server, any that i'm missing a pkg for was likely only released to select groups.
Daer all,
Yesterday my device offered my the first firmware update.
My current version: Acer_A500_1.016.03_com_gen1
Downloaded version: 1.126.03
I did not update yet because i am aafraid to loose root. So if anybody can tell me where my system download the uodate to i can shar the file with you.
Anybody else already had a update?
Where u located
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
did you look on the sdcard for an update.zip ?
Most likely it is on the /cache partition. More importantly, in your log will be the URL, search for ota.
I'm on Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7 - nothing here yet
No Update Here Either
A500 from Best Buy bought on May 3 - has FW: Acer_A500_1.104.02_Com_Gen 1

No OTA yet even after forcing it to check.
Ken.
Today I received my Acer A500 in Germany, purchased from Amazon through preorder. It's the first Honeycomb to hit the german mass market.
I have Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7
The "E" sounds like it stands for "european" or "Europe" to me, however the only localization I can choose in Settings is "german", while on my other Android devices (HTC phones) the ROMs always contain multiple localizations (or even worldwide like *WWE* ones).
I hope this helps, just started digging through the device and going to root it soon.
If anyone needs any further info regarding this version, which seems to be newer than those being OTA'ed to US customers let me know.
FWIW, I have not yet had any random screen turn-ons so maybe they fixed that.
ugh I need this zip my acer is messed up since I tried that chinese update.zip!

Dear all,
there is nothing in "/chach" and on the SDCard.
I had a look into it with the "Rootexplorer" and commandline, nothing.
I also searched with "Rootexplorer" for "*.zip" but nothing that is coming from me.
Do they maybe use a "hidden" mount?
Where can i find the logs?
did u reboot?

Hi,
yes i did reboot, but the system is still telling me that it want to perform the update and not that it want to downlaod something again.
Just brought a Xoom today and after trying to find ways to get 3.1 manually installed, low and behold I reboot and get greeted with a Üpdate found - 3.1
Being a new xoom, i need to charge it for a bit first before it would let me!
So if you have a UK Xoom, reboot and check your updates
What store has open on a sunday?
If its true that you got the update is great news.
Do you have wifi-only or 3G?
You sure? I got nothing here on my 3g / wifi
Nothing here on Wifi model.
Can anybody confirm this?

that's what I thought it might be - but UK Xooms (Wifi at least) all started at 3.0.1 out the box.

I think they ship with 3.0.1, don't they? I've bought two (returned the first due to screen problems) and both had 3.0.1 when I first booted them.
I think this is someone's cruel joke
Pics or it didn't happen!
just spoke to my friend who works at carphone warehouse, part of the geeksquad and he says its not out in the uk for another 2 weeks (fully) but will be starting to roll out from tomorrow.
Whether this is 100% accurate not too sure
I guess this would be for the 3G model? I hope Wifi roll-outs begin soon and I get it soon... Patience is not my greatest virtue
no it isn't a joke and it was a device brought today in PCWorld, so its not an import as suggested. All I did was restore to factory settings, added my gmail account and connected to wifi. It instantly found the update and I'm now on 3.1.
I have no need to lie, I'm a regular poster and although a new to the xoom...I know android.
What was so annoying was I had been trying to root it to get 3.1 but after bootloop I had to get the firmware from Motorola UK, reflash the boot and system.imgs and recovery.img and was back to a full OEM stock xoom. Whether that has anything to do with it, I couldn't tell you.
Anyway hope that. Explains a bit more.
Why does the XDA app FC once you login? Hoped 3.1 would sort that as even with the browser ,XDA lags.

Hmm. They haven't released the UK system image yet, have they? Is it possible you got US firmware and the update came as a result of that?
When you booted up did the language screen say English or UK English?

Hi guys,
I walshed my SFR Omnia 7 to version 7390 and now I am waiting my jig's arrival.
Since I "forced" the update, I haven't been able to put my phone neither on Samsung's download mode nor WP7 Recovery mode.
How should I proceed to get those new updates and my phone back on track?
Thank you very much

Are you sure your phone only supports US English and no other languages? You need to tick all you can possibly choose (not only the one that you are using).
good gosh! There is a major difference between language being used and language supported by the phone... Once i ticked all but the one spanish and tried the update again, IT WORKED!

Yes if you reflash your phone, it will install the new version and your old/new updated one will be gone including all your data and settings. Will be reset back to factory settings of that version of ROM you just flashed.
Hey guys, I have the same problem, still getting the 80180048 error... I've installed all languages from the walsh fix except for English (UK) and Spanish (Spain-Modern Sort)... I have the Samsung Focus.
From what I'm reading above that is wrong, I need to select all languages except for the Spanish(Spain-International Sort). I did that and I still get the error nor do the languages I've installed change in my settings>Keyboard>Languages...
Have I screwed up by installing wrong the first time? Do I need to re-flash to fix this? If anyone can help me with this I would so much appreciate it.
I've looked everywhere just too find out what the exact languages are too be installed on the Samsung Focus ATT US version and I can't find it anywhere. Can't believe no one has typed this up yet.
Thanks so much for any help.

depends....
are you currently on 4.010.24 ??
whenever someone post an update file... it reads like this:
4.010.24_4.010.40
means you must come from 4.010.24 in order to updates to 4.010.40
otherwise... You risk bricking your device.
According to the original post, it would appear that this update only applies to those living in the Asia/Pacific market. Is this correct, or will it upgrade a US model correctly as well?

If your current ROM is 4.010.24 then it is fine to update. This is an incremental update, not a full rom.
If not, do not use this update.
