The Acer One 7 (model B1-760HD) is a unique entry in Acer’s 2015 budget tablet lineup. Unlike its MediaTek-powered siblings, this model is equipped with an Intel Atom x3-C3230RK processor and features a higher-resolution HD display. It originally launched with Android 5.0 Lollipop. This guide provides the official OTA (Over-The-Air) update file, which allows users to manually install software patches to fix bugs and improve system performance.
Important: This is an OTA update file designed for a functioning tablet that can boot into recovery mode. It is NOT a full firmware package and cannot be used to unbrick a completely dead device. The installation process will not wipe your personal data, but a backup is always recommended as a precaution.

Device-Specific Troubleshooting for Acer One 7 (B1-760HD)
- For Intel Atom Chipset ONLY: This firmware is specifically for the B1-760HD model which uses an Intel Atom CPU. It is NOT compatible with other Acer One 7 models like the B1-770 or B1-780, which use MediaTek chipsets. Flashing this on the wrong model will cause it to brick.
- Lollipop Maintenance Release: The file name `A50L` confirms this is a stability and bug-fix update for Android 5.0 Lollipop. It will not upgrade your tablet to Android 6.0 Marshmallow or any newer OS version.
- Application Compatibility: The Intel Atom x3 processor uses x86 architecture. While Android is excellent at handling this, in very rare cases, an app highly optimized only for ARM architecture may have issues. Keeping the system updated with this patch can help improve the system’s compatibility layer.
- “Installation aborted” Error: If you see this error in recovery, it means the update script could not verify your system. This is almost always because the tablet has been rooted or a system file was modified. You must be on 100% stock firmware to apply an OTA.
FAQs
- Q1. Is this firmware for the MediaTek version of the Acer One 7?
- No, this is exclusively for the B1-760HD model which is powered by an Intel Atom processor. Do not attempt to install it on any other device.
- Q2. Can this fix my tablet if it’s stuck on the Acer logo?
- Yes, it’s possible. If you can still boot into the recovery menu (Power + Volume Up), applying this OTA update can resolve a software-related bootloop. If recovery is inaccessible, this file will not help.
- Q3. Will this update delete my photos or apps?
- No, official OTA updates are designed to install without wiping user data. However, it’s always a good habit to back up important files before performing any software update.
- Q4. What does the “HD” mean in the model name B1-760HD?
- The “HD” signifies that this model features a higher-resolution display (800 x 1280 pixels) compared to the standard definition screens (600 x 1024 pixels) found on other models in the Acer One 7 series.
