Why I can't update from 3.0.1 to 3.2

I purchased my tablet from US and I live in india. Only one time i was able to update when i run it first time, after than never got any message for update of Android Version.
When i go to Settings>About Tablet and click on System Update and check for new version it's gives me message "Your device is up to date" and when i see the version details than these are
Model Number : A500
Android Version : 3.0.1
Kernel Version : 2.6.36-00017-gc98d63f
Build Number : Acer_A500_1.016.01_COM_GEN1
Update is not available for india yet or where i am wrong please help.

Not sure if your locale has anything to do with getting updates. That's typically an issue with 3G providers, but as long as your tablet is an A500 (wifi only version) it should find the OTA updates no problem, that it unless you are running a custom ROM. Either way, you can manually update your tablet. All the information you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
If you currently have a custom ROM or rooted your stock ROM, you will lose root by updating to a newer stock ROM, and the only way to recover root is by reverting back to Android 3.0. There are several custom ROM's based on 3.2 which already have root, if you also choose to go that route. If you have no idea what I mean when I mention root, just don't worry about it and carry on with that link I posted

Thanks Bloodflame, Yes i read that it can not be rooted and thank you for the link to get it update manually but i don't understand why i am not able to get updates.
And whether it is good to update with 3.0.2 ? Please suggest.

can't explain why you're unable to OTA update, but the security and performance improvements along with new features (ie, native mouse support) should make a manual 3.2 update worthwhile

Ok Thanks, I will update to 3.2 and let me see what magic it does.

Which is the latest original firmware?

Hi! I have rootet and can't use the update interface in the system menus, so I wonder which version is the latest firmware?
I currently have this one:
KOT49H G900FXXU1ANCE
3.4.0-1182732
(4.4.2).
Thanks.

Look on sammobile.com/firmwares/.

If this is important to you for some reason, ask your carrier i.e. phone tech support or open a support ticket. It's easier to look at a firmware repository such as sammobile, but they don't always have the latest firmware for all carriers. And different carriers roll out updates on varying schedules, so there is no universal answer.
A Google search would quickly tell you what the latest firmware period is. But not necessarily if that update is available from your carrier.

Hi! I think the software you are looking for is available in the market which I have personally used, it will help you to update your android device to latest android OS.
The software is named as Android Magnet (androidmagnet.com) and I think they have recently released their beta version. I have used this software to update my Galaxy S3, and guess what this somehow works, my phone is now updated to kitkat 4.4.2.
I think you should give it a try

When you navigate to the download page and press download, you'll be directed to a page where you have to complete a survey. Probably a scam....

FYI - I am based in the UK and my Note 8.0 has very surprisingly updated to 4.4.2 - first update in ages and very odd that it should be Kitkat and not something more up to date.

IMO, i am happy with each update of kitkat. Since the end of jelly bean, google has bollocks upped with each version.
Finally after a few years trying to get kitkat just right, I am able to. Now with the latest update, I am sure the few issues I still deal with will be corrected and finally have a smooth kitkat.
Can't say that for LP, MM, and New-guts. New is not better IMO if it is wonky and filled with security flaws. Plus I don't see any improvement across the board over kitkat. Kinda like do peeps like dealing with cheeky google? I just don't understand them, as much as they don't understand me. HA!

I didn't think about how long these file hosts take... so I recommend to use SamFirm to download your firmware. It is fairly new, and I suggest searching online for sites to assist with setup and function before finding a download. That is why i do not have a link or have posted a download attachment.

Small list of still active vulnerabilites after being fully tested.
Media server, Serialization, and stock browser.
I assume we may see another release of updated kitkat firmware late next year.
It does not bother me, having only two issues active. As for stock browser, who uses it anyway? I don't!

Why are you so happy with a 4.4.2 release of kit kat? Our Note 8.0's could easily handle Nougat...Right? So... help me understand, Why I with an ATT sgh-i467 should be content with my update, but not upgrade to something more.

If you're really dependant on your Note 8, you could upgrade to a Tab A with S Pen. These are currently running 6.0.1. I doubt it'll get Nougat, but maybe Samsung will release the S3 in a 8" form factor...

Because It works, no issues, and not effected by security issues since LP.
Also I have customised my 4.4.2 to be more robust like a tab 4, without relying on a customized build with issues.
So far I am the only one with a truly functional customised firmware that I am happy with.

Any chance you would be willing to share the firmware?
?

I can't due to limits placed by ROM developers. As i had to mix 5 different ROMs to obtain what I have.
You can get a nice look by using the system ui. Though to get chrome to close when its tab closes, stock S5 libs have chrome customisations lib and some chrome cast drivers.
Plus some system apps to make gallery more robust.
I gave up on spen menu, as it did not bring much versatility since I removed stock browser because of it being unsecured with malicious scripts, and scrap book with smart clip just eat too much resources for what they are.
Can't remember which ROM I grabbed a cool one off flashbarservice app. The drawer is like the jelly bean version with a pull out tab and single row. Plus the short cuts are mini.
Using the tab 4 touchwiz and keyboard (that has left and right cursor control), though you loose automatic handwriting mode when spen is detached. It now becomes manually switched with the settings key.
I swapped out a secsettings app to allow access to default applications, as Samsung killed it in 4.4.2 for Note 8.0.
I enabled color blind, interaction control, grey scale, and accessibility shortcut menu. Though I can't have the shortcut menu activate or deactivate without a reboot.
Though the i467 has the features in the stock ROM, so obtaining the latest AT&T ROM, you can copy the system apps to allow some cool accessibility features developers over looked.
If I had permissions to allow copying and distributing custom apps and a few custom libs, i would as a complete ROM. But that is only half of it. I am not an android developer, and have no tools to properly create a flashable ROM to distribute.

Use FF to update BTV-DL09C433B001 ?

Newb here. Live in the US, just got a Mediapad M3 with version BTV-DL09C433B001 ( EMUI 4.2.3 and Android 6 ). The sim from my iPad works great and I can make and receive calls. Everything seems to work ok.
Like anyone I want the latest Android and EMUI. Is it worth it? should I bother? I am an actual embedded developer, so this stuff isn't way out of my league, I just don't know exactly what to do for this device on this platform.
I found FF and it show a lot of images that I can apply. I guess C433 means spcseas region. I heard that C233 installs Chinese and that may be the latest but comes with limits like no Google. I have three questions:
1) can I install an image for a different region (Cxx) without breaking everything,
2) can I install a fullOTA image rather than tediously stepping up image by image, and
3) which region (Cxx) should I go with to continue to work in the US?
Thanks in advance if you bother to have answers

I have the same Model with the same question. Were you ever able to get updated to Nougat?

You may need to change your region oeminfo partition before flashing another regions firmware. If you dont certain things might or might not work properly.

Any help on my ME us edition BTV-DL09C433B001 would be much appreciated.
I also have the M3 Btv-dl09c433b001 version.
It appears this version is not getting any support from Hauwai. I am still on Android 6.
Does anyone have a way to update my version to 7.0?
I did try to download and install BTV-DL09C199B350 on to my M3 but it didn't work. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I would read this thread on how I upgraded to 7.0.
