I have a question though, with your update.zip, does it mean that it is now a truly official and stock seeming ROM. ie., if future updates are released by FIDO, will it update properly or will it barf like it did before when coming from a leaked ROM?

Yes, with this procedure I believe you will be able to receive future updates released by Fido.  When upgrading the ROM, it checks for your ROM's image name, which now is the Fido version.

Also, is there a sense to re-flash the stock ROM (2.2 upgrade) from FIDO, back onto this ROM (can it even be done?)  to make it official, official ?

This can probably be done, but I don't really see a point in doing this.

You'll need to flash it with an image made for the Ferrari edition.  See this post http://android.modac...act-collection/ for the latest Ferrari ROM.

This is only for the FIDO ROM!

As you may all know, the official Froyo ROMs for Rogers and Fido have been released on Acer Canada's website.  However, you won't be able to upgrade if you are not currently running the stock ROM from Rogers / Fido.  This is because the developers at Acer put in assert checks to make sure you are upgrading from a stock Rogers / Fido ROM.

I'm sure a lot of you here are in the same boat as me and running a custom Froyo leak, which won't be able to upgrade directly using the official Acer Froyo ROM.  But worry no more, I was able to modify some of the scripts and work around the assert checks.

Info

Enough of the rambling, here's the information for this ROM:

Baseband version: A1-05.01.05
Kernel version: 2.6.29
Build number: Acer_LiquidE_4.004.04_PA_FIDO

Download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=03DEQV74

Instructions

To upgrade, simply download the file from the link above and copy it to the root of your SD card.  Then, enter recovery mode (volume down + camera + power button).  I flashed this using Malez Recovery, but it should also work if you have the original recovery.  It should flash directly (without the need to bypass signing checks), as I've re-signed the file after modifying it.

Notes

One thing you may notice though is that the preset Fido 3G internet APNs don't work... this is simple to fix, just create a new APN with the following settings:

Internet
Name: Fido Internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
Leave all other settings blank

MMS
Name: Fido MMS
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
APN Type: mms
Leave all other settings blank

Happy upgrading!

Hey Thanks a lot man! It worked flawlessly! I already had Malez recovery installed on my Acer Liquid E. But the ROM that I had didn't have WiFi working   . So I Flashed your ROM, which installed without any hitches, and afterwards I did a hard reset. AND NOW EVERYTHING WORKS!!!! My Acer Liquid E is back! I didn't even have to manual enter the APN and MMS info....it found the network automatically!

Thanks so much!
