TWRP.

What is bewildering me is the fact there are step by step guides that everyone else follows just fine, yet these guys are breaking it down for you in baby steps, and your still saying you have no clue.

So there's no way to say this without sounding like an ass hole but I think someone needs to say it.

Rooting and Modding can be very tedious and can FUBAR your tablet, that said, maybe you should just leave it alone. The A100 is not the best starter device to be Modding on, and the rate your going, your probably going to brick it, and if so, you have no one to blame but your lack of reading and comprehension skills for this kind of hobby.

It's a technical hobby.

Wait a sec. Now are you rooted and debugging turned on? Those are requirements for TiBu, also a Superuser app needs installed.

If you meet those requirements, my next question is, did non pro TiBu work but not pro?

If it asked for root and you declined or timed out then super user will continue to decline, go into your super user app and clear titanium backup from the list then try again.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
If I'm getting you right, SU is prompting for root access for TiBu but it is not working?

If so, try unistalling titanium backup, then uninstall superuser, reboot, and reinstall titanium and see if it will work. Then try using superSU instead of superuser. Even if it doesnt work, make sure you have either SU or superSU installed at the end. It could be a bug with TiBu that happened in a recent update.

Anyone tried downloading the rooting file listed by the OP on the first page?

Whenever I try Microsoft Security Essential detects a virus in the file and quarantines it. Do you guys know if this is a false positive??
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Its a false positive. The only thing really windows usable is the binaries for adb and fast boot which you can source elsewhere if you feel safer.

I was getting this on every PC (Windows) that I tried. I booted to a Live version of linux, I then redownloaded the file, then extracted it, then set the permissions for the extracted files, and was able to make it work. Something on Windows, probably anti-virus, was deleting the "mempodroid" file thus killing the rest of the procedure.

On an A100 running stock ICS 4.0.3.

I try to rename the install-recovery.sh file to install-recovery.bak, but it never changes.

Titanium Backup keeps telling me the root didn't occur and no apps are being installed to the storage card. I could use some assistance in getting this right.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Debugging enabled, adb drivers properly installed, not using a 3.0 USB port? Those are usually the main issues, another PC or port can sometimes help. You didn't mention anything about the root process itself, just that you don't have it, so just guessing here.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] addicus:
Debugging is enabled and I am using a 2.0 USB port. I am unclear on the language for the adb drivers. I downloaded the stuff from the original posts and have included a screen shot collage to show you what I used.

Download and install this without the a100 hooked up, then reboot the PC and try again

http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...AB&Step3=A100&OS=a08&LC=ru&BC=Acer&SC=EMEA_23

You may want to uninstall the existing a100 drivers first, reboot, install this, then hook up the a100, don't plug it in until these are installed.

Okay I did this with no change in the outcome. Am I suppose to type in "Command "Mount ro/rw" for directory /system (partition) - works perfectly"?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Are you running it as administrator, and using the correct version? There's a new and old version depending on which ICS you have installed.

That mount line refers to it being mountable as write, not that it needs it.

Frustrated I put my head to the grindstone, got to work and have succeeded. The A100 running ICS 4.0.3 is now officially rooted. :good:

Here's how I got it to work. I did everything you told me Pio and had no success. I then read the whole damn thread and got really frustrated as none of the solutions were working for me.

I should make note that I am using Windows 8.

One thing sticking out was when I went to uninstall the drivers in the Device Manager the tablet was showing in 2 places. One was Other Mobile and it had the yellow sign with exclamation mark. This showed the tablet as an A500 no matter how many times I uninstalled it. The other was showing the A100 correctly under Portable Devices.

To make a long story short I went to the A500, right clicked, chose Properties, Driver, Update Driver, chose to pick my driver from the list and it had two choices. Since my .cmd box errors always stated the adb wasn't going through I grabbed sack and chose the Acer Composite ADB interface driver and voila it took!

I then went back to the A10x_A5xx root and double clicked the run-it win batch file. I double clicked because someone in the thread said that was the only way he could get it to work and at this point what did I have to lose? Well, it ran perfect, the tablet rebooted, I ran SuperUser (success), then Titanium Backup root (success), then Rom Toolbox Lite (success).

I would like to thank you for your assistance Pio. For those struggling with the issues I had hopefully my explanation is clear enough to assist you in overcoming it quickly.

Full root for A10x and A5xx ICS. Simple method. I used this methad to root my wifes Acer Iconia A100 and to install CWM and running ICS. She brought to my attention that she keeps notifications gabout an OTA update. So I thought since I was not running a custom rom and was only rooted that I would have no problem d/l and installing the update. After trying to install the update from update.zip in sdcard it failed so I thought it might have something to do with signiture verification so I toggled and disabled the signiture verification and tried to install the update zip again and still no joy. I am at the end of my knowledge can anyone assist me?

EDIT:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Way late I know, but if this still needs an answer for you, its because CWM can't be used to flash the sigined OTA update, you'll need the stock recovery to flash the update. If you want to take the update for some reason, you'll want to follow the guide to return to full stock then update it then maybe root again after, I think the latest update may have broken the method previously used to root, though, so be careful.

The runit-win.bat worked fine, device rebooted...

I've installed superuser from market...

I've installed root explorer (that i've bought time ago)...

If i launch an app that require root (like Root Explorer, for instance), it is working, but, while the root / is R/W, /system (and it's) subfolders are still R/O :(

So, still now, i cannot apply swapSD or build.prop

I updated from my rooted HB 3.2.1 to ICS Leak. When I ran the script I got the error about not being able to achieve root. I did this twice and still got the message. I went ahead and opened up superuser on my tab (since it was already still there) and it showed I had root. I opened root explorer and I had root. I edited a file in the /system folder and was able to mount r/w without a problem. So i'm going to assume that if you had root under HB chances are your going to get a "fail" message when using this to root your ICS tab. Just run superuser and root explorer and you should be good to go....i'm going to try full wiping my device and then trying this method again...just to see what happens.

Nope, the commands have to be passed through adb from a different device.

I have tried the above by extracting the entire contents of the .zip file to my A100 using the Windows unzip tool and by using ES Zip Viewer in Android and I get the same result. Any ideas?
