Seems only GEN1 devices are getting any updates at all.

Living in Denmark and have a GEN3 device, still on the original 1.105.01 firmware.

Not true. I had a GEN3 device (Netherlands) and just updated 10 minutes ago. All went well the first time after I had restored all bloatware. Rerooted and everythings fine.

Except for the large digital clock widget (3x1). It seems it reserves not enough space for the digits + date. The Date linebrakes at the month. Meh..

Well I got the update offered when I was in the office, and back home there was _no_ update, device up to date! Since those two locations have different providers, Arcor and T-Online in that case, I guess it could be that one ISP sees the update and the other doesn't.

As expected, back in office I can download the update while I can't at home. Seems Acer is offering the update through different ISPs in batches to avoid all users at the same time.

Now it turned out the the replacement-odex-files have an incorrect checksum - I'll have to go looking for different versions.

Code:

Verifying current system...
file "/system/app/LinkToAdobeFlash.odex" doesn't have any of expected sha1 sums; checking cache
failed to stat "/cache/saved.file": No such file or directory
failed to load cache file

Rolling out in Russia

Update failed, re-did it after reboot and it worked. Any change log?

Turned out extracting the replacement files on my PC corrupted the files because of a different encoding. Putting the ZIP with the replacement files on the tablet and extracting them in place made the update run successfully! Happy 1.141.01_EMEA_CUS7 now!

Finely got the update on my gen3.
Had to unroot my device before it wanted to start the update it self though.

Other than that it seems to work perfect.

Where is this log file held? I might try to change the values back to what they were before hand and attempt another forced update... thanks!

I captured those logs with "adb logcat". The log of the update process itself can be found after rebooting in /cache/recovery/last_log (root permissions necessary).

Last night, I was pretty sure that you and me were in a similar situation: we were offered an update, it failed because we had modified or deleted system apps, and after restoring those apps, we were told our system was "up to date". (I actually hoped if I waited long enough you would find a solution that worked for me, too. *g*)

This morning, the A500 offered to try the update again - they might have some kind of rate limiting in place that will block updates for a couple of hours if you try it to often...?

Anyway, the update failed again. I guess I didn't find the correct versions of those stupid "LinkTo*" files:

Code:

Verifying current system...
file "/system/app/LinkToAdobeFlash.odex" doesn't have any of expected sha1 sums; checking cache
failed to stat "/cache/saved.file": No such file or directory
failed to load cache file
script aborted: assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/LinkToAdobeFlash.odex", "2b98c75691f041053a0b0285bd581e48b4f31abc", "e03b590c95bbfae5f3f8331954fae8c3259388bd")
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/LinkToAdobeFlash.odex", "2b98c75691f041053a0b0285bd581e48b4f31abc", "e03b590c95bbfae5f3f8331954fae8c3259388bd")
E:Error in /cache/acer_ug/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

The SHA1 checksum of the "LinkToAdobeFlash.odex" I found is:
# sha1sum LinkToAdobeFlash.odex
e7b13d2d3fda9ef80cf54a225c8795bee9d22c5a LinkToAdobeFlash.odex

If anyone can point me to an archive of system apps for a 1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7 device, I would appreciate it.

(BTW, for those who are wondering why we, the idiots who have this problem, trashed their system in the first place: I used Titanium Backup to back up all apps, and to delete a select few of them - "Why would I need to keep a link to Facebook?" Depending on your language, Titanium Backup will not be totally clear about the fact that it doesn't back up system apps, only their data, but it will allow you to shoot yourself in the foot by letting you delete those apps anyway. I guess some of us lost a few toes in the process. By now, I know I probably should've "frozen" those apps instead.)

Update: Found all I needed, here:

I downloaded the above file for keepsake

what I found is a bit strange... wondered if anyone could shed a light...

my Iconia -->> 1.016.05_COM_GEN1 ( Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-gf991e5d )

I checked my system/app folder and found that it have 122 files ( apk & odex )

The above posted zip file contained 126 files...

My device is completely stock... with the exception of updated maps and flash version 10.3 upgrade...etc

my stock device does not have the following 4 files...

BooksTablet.apk
LinkToAdobeFlash.apk
LinkToAdobeFlash.odex
SuperUser.apk

The "superuser" file included in the above zip clearly indicated the device was rooted when the files were pulled & zipped...

aside from the SU file, why don't I have the other 3 files ?? I am completely stock so no worry when updating in the future... just curious and also seen people having problem when they were unsuccessful updating due to missing the 2 "LinkToAdobeFlash" files

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14156648&postcount=19

wondered if it was due to me installing flash 10.3 from the market ?

I have no idea as to why you didn't have the tablet books app or the 2 links. I specifically remember mine having all three and I deleted them after rooting. As far as the superuser.apk, I saw that too, so whoever posted the files originally was rooted.

michaelh99 · May 27, 2011

Downloaded fine here in N Texas. Update failed because Titanium had renamed hero of sparta when restoring it. Trying again after renaming to what the updater wants.

Makes me wonder what they changed in HoS that the checksum matters.

Update 1.141.xxx
