Came home with 4.010.11 ota notification waiting for me. This is an update from 1.141.07 which I manually updated from 1.104. 02 weeks ago which I got from vache's ota thread in the dev section. Personally Tested this over 4.010.08 and 1.104.02 with factory recovery with sucsess. Others have tested it over custom roms as well.

I posted this for those with some modding know how and are impatient or for some reason not getting any acer updates. Use at your own risk and please do research on how to perform the update. It looks like many are getting the update today so give it a few days before bypassing the ota and using the above link.

If this helps you out please hit the thanks button on my post.
Have fun modding my Iconia brothers.

I just installed it over 4.010.08 on my other tab after decrypting and puting the update zip on my ext sd card and it went through on the factory acer recovery. Now reads 4.010.11_com_gen2

If my assumptions are correct this is a complete rom designed to go over anything you have and correct the build issues that others had experienced in 4.010.08 not allowing them to install.

Just restored to 1.104.02 then directly to 4.010.11 sucseffuly. This is a complete Rom.

I did some searches and read some threads, I've gathered understanding of my situation with OTA updates and why I wasn't seeing any come through. I was hoping someone would confirm my train of thought.

I updated from the leaked update.zip to 3.2 build 3.019.04_COM_GEN1
Because of that, I wouldn't get an OTA update.
I just downloaded and ran the update.zip and am on 4.010.11_COM_GEN2 Bryan posted
Everything seems fine and work.

...but, I can expect not to get OTA updates because I deviated from the OTA updates, and in a sense loaded a custom rom. That is unless I flash back to factory and reupdate?

Can someone just confirm that for me? I'm ok with downloading update.zip files, I'm kinda hands on anyways.

I just bought my Iconia A500 and it still has Acer_500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1...

How do I manually update? I tried updating to 1.141.07 like yours and nothing happened... Help?

I am not 100% sure as I have never used a custom rom but I did recieve the ota after doing a manual update to 1.141.07 as an update.zip.
Glad the rom worked for you. I just installed it over 4.010.08 on my other tab after decrypting and puting the update zip on my ext sd card and it went through on the factory acer recovery. Now reads 4.010.11_com_gen2

Are you on 1.141.07 now? You have to download the file then decrypt it with the acer update decrypter. once its doen you extract the zip till you see the file that says update.zip , you put this file on the root of your ext sd card. put the micro sd (ext sd) card back into the tab and restart in the factory recovery by holding VOL- and Power at the same time till you see some white words come up in the corner of the screen. Let go of the buttons and let it complete.

I recomend you make backups of your stock image prior to updating and do your own research of the process thoroughly before continuing.
Good Luck my Iconia Brothers...

I'm on 1.104.02 right now. I ran the decrypter for 1.141.07 and put the update.zip on the root of the sdcard and into my a500 and powered on with volume key. Update came up and loaded halfway and then the progress bar went away and and exclamation point with the android guy came up and it just sat there with not progress bar. I held the power button and restarted. Went into settings to check the version and it stayed at 1.104.02...

Is the file you are using the 1.104.02 to 1.141.07? If not it won't work.
Try going straght to the 4.010.11 update. Use the same decrypt program and be sure you are putting the correct output file then extracted to get "update.zip" then put it on your ext micro sd Card directly not in another folder.

I was using the 1.104.02_1.141.07... I open the decrypter, press input file, find 1.104.02_1.141.07 and press start. I open the new decrypted file and take out the update.zip and place on the root of my sdcard. That is what I was doing. Try going from 1.104.02 to 4.010.11?

I'm on 1.141. 02 version. Which you were also at a while ago. So what were your steps to get the latest update of 4.010.11?

Can you clarify if you came from 1.104.02 or 1.141.07. I read your posts and understand that you failed to update from 1.104.02 to 1.141.07. Thanks

Do not just open the decrypted file you have to unzip it first then take the update.zip file over to your external SD card. I just restarted mine to 1. 104. 02 and installed the update zip file directly through factory recovery so I can confirm this is a complete Rom and works on top of most builds.

Be sure you are unrooted and using factory recovery not cwm.

    The Acer Decrypter is available here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099673 It is PC only. I used a winXP running Avast antivirus and had to temporarily disable Avast it to download and run it.

    Folks, I'm in a bad way. I have been on the computer for several hours now and the only part of the puzzle that I'm missing is the update itself. I downloaded from a link posted on this forum and was able to successfully able to decrypt it, but when I try to extract the update.zip, it fails. In addition, all the other updates are either inaccessible or for a different region. I desperately need this update. I'm rooted, all I need is the update. I am running 1.104.02_COM_GEN1 and I'm assuming I need 4.010.11_COM_GEN2 (at least, that's the official update that kept failing before and after the root). PLEEEEEAAASE HELP...

    You want to make sure you get the region specific version - just because there is a .42 out there doesn't mean it's for your device (learned that the hard way) that said if you are looking at .11 it sounds like you are in the US - after you decrypt the download from this thread, you open the archive and there should be an update.zip - some people have problems with the Windows builtin .zip reader, I used 7zip with no issues - place this on the root of your SD (no root needed) - with your SD in and your device powered off, hold down VOL - (one closest to your power button) and Power till the device comes on - you should see it start the update and if all goes well - reboot when done with you on 3.1
