Update how? OTA or ICS leak?

Ok, that's OTA. You could try resetting the device via the pinhole. If that doesn't work then download the ICS leak (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510706) and rename it to "update". After that, place it on your external sd card and boot into recovery.

Your sd card is fine. Your recovery seems to be corrupted. Do you still get the error after resetting it (via pinhole)?

If I had the files, then I could provide one for your device (but I don't). You could ask crossix to make it for the GEN1 version of the tab (if he has time).

Well I just upgraded from 3.2 gen 2 a few minutes ago. I posted here exactly what I did set by step and what happened. I even shot some pics and a little video with my little cannon powershot SD500. I will post the pics for instructional use later on.

I would suggest you try to verify the copy of the update you have as I did. Both before and after the copy to the SD card to ensure the copy ON the card IS the same.

It wouldnt hurt to try another SD card if you have one. I have heard people run into issues doing firmware upgrades with 32 GB SD cards before on A100.
