[General Questions and Answers] Antagonist42:
Since it was stated in another post (possibly on another site just can't remember :confused: ) that prior to an OTA update root access was gained using DoomLords exploit, finally a ROM has surfaced *** :cowboy: :highfive: ;) *** that may be of use - Link at the bottom of the page for the ROM

Yes I have it on my phone now and seems A-OK :D BUT..... and this is a big BUT!!!!......

Please..............(the dreaded disclaimering bit)

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE YOU CAN RECOVER FROM ANY PROBLEMS WITH FLASHING THE ROM

AS YOU WILL HAVE TO EDIT FILES TO 'DOWNGRADE' YOUR PHONES SYSTEM.

If you are confident in editing and flashing then by all means do so BUT I am not held accountable for errors or unusable software/hardware, what may have worked for me may

NOT

work for you.....

(Basically if you're not sure don't do it - I was only 80% sure trying it but I take risks and fully accept the consequences if I brick my phone)

What you will need to do is the following:

Firstly you will need the Temp files of both the ROM you are using and 1.005.00 ROM.

Current Rom...

No Need To Connect Your Phone For This.

Run the update program.

Search for (depending on your ROM) a folder in

or for

Copy that folder to another location then cancel the update (you will notice if you check all but a few files are deleted - this happens even if the update succeds or fails to flash your phone)

Now do the same for the 1.005.00 update and copy the folder to another location.

From the 1.005.00 copied update folder copy the following files:

Paste into the copied Current ROM folder.

Rename the corresponding files - examples:

Now rename the copied 1.005.00 files to the corresponding files renamed .bak (to suit your ROM's files)

Make a backup copy

of your now edited folder incase of any failure

(the EUU deletes files on success AND failure - we don't want to have to go through this again)

You can now delete/remove any files you no longer require (1.005.00 copied folder - .bak files)

You can now run the file EUU.exe from the edited folder and update the phone.

Any DEV interested in modding and maybe making Root Access persistant (think this is the only ROM prior to 1.008.00 update that is rootable) --==>>HERE<<==-- is the link for ACER 1.005.00 ORGFR ROM I found.

Have Fun. :D
