[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Open your rootExplorer app, or file manager HD app, and set your system folder permissions to R/W. Then remove your bloat.

As I discovered the other day, this current root method for the 51x and the 70x, will not allow you to update your SU Binaries. Probably because Busybox is not installed properly would be a first guess. You have to get the binary flash from the superuser site and flash through CWM which is very strange. But you should be able to set your /system RW permissions.

This I thought, is very suspicous. And I suspect, there will be problems later.

My advice, don't remove any app you think may cause the OS not to boot. As I think you might get in trouble, and your recovery backup, may not work.

Wait awhile, till some devs look at things a little closer.

Full working rooted tablet.

Didn't I include the Superuser app?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mongocliqque:
Not working.

After mount the binary update still fails.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Randomwalker:
For me binary update will go through only directly after installing busybox.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
Thing is, the root instructions specifically mentioned something about not installing busybox because it will break some root apps. Are your root apps still working as expected?

Sent from my LG Optimus 2X
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Randomwalker:
Yes, still all root apps still working.

Anyone willing to try, I created attached update cwm-zip file. Please install with cwm-recovery and let me know the results (my A511 is still bricked).

PS. I used the S300 (Iconia Smart) root install zip file, replaced the mount command, updated su, superuser and busybox on the S300 and replaced them in the zip...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Rembold91:
@nikagl

First of all thank you for your work on A5xx, can you briefly describe what we can expect the package? In the package a working Clockwork Recovery is included (backup / restore)? Let me know if I can assist you in further developing

thank you very much!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nikagl:
Hi Rembold,

The root zip file needs to be installed using a custom recovery which allows installing zipfiles. On an A511 you cannot use any other method as the mempodroid exploit seems to have been fixed in those roms so there's no other way to get root

Be very, very, very careful with the CWM recovery provided in the other thread. Yes, you can use it to install zips, but... never use backup/restore and preferably do not use FOTA either. Both have caused bricks in the past weeks. I am quite sure you can use it to install the root zip though, I have not seen any issues with that!

Edit: I have also tried making a signed update.zip that can be installed through the stock recovery. For whatever reason, that didn't work in my case. I just do not have enough experience with that. I guess that should work as well as those update.zip files can also write system files and therefore can mount it. Probably the signing process I did needs to use specific keys which I do not have?

Regards,

Nika.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] tsuishui:
It is included, however superuser doesn't work. I have to receive manually and install superuser again from Google Play

I have also noticed that I can't update my SU binaries. Every time I try it fails.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
That's a common issue with the busybox included. One of the members just downloaded an updated busybox from the market, and the su binary update would work. If it doesn't bother you though, I'd recommend to just leave it alone.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Randomwalker:
That would probably have been me. Unfortunately this no longer works on German 1099, at least not for me.

EDIT: What odes work for me is mounting system rw (e.g. via toolbox) and then updating su binary.

Hi,

I followed your instructions on how to install CWM Recovery and Root and it worked! :)

Thanks for your work!

Looking forward to see CWM Recovery working completely ;)

Superuser from Playstore is also working!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] xamindar:
Will updating busybox cause any negative effects with anything else?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nikagl:
I've not seen any...if it fails, just install root again and it would be ok again :) note that busybox installers also sometimes change other settings than only busybox (like the mount command, etc.) so often can cause problems and depend on which installer you use... any results of your testing is welcome :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
Just to reiterate Nika's post. Nothing has been documented as far as the negative effects of updating busybox. They keyword though is "documented", so at this point, no one really know for sure.

From that the member mentioned before though, I believe he updated busybox via stericson's app, and he was able to update the su binary and everything runs well. Again, I've never personally tried it. And I'm rather enjoying the tablet as is. :)

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] delan91:
hey, i search for a way to root my a511. as i know, the stock recovery installs on every start, the update.zip file, right? is this a way to root my a511 without installing the cwm? just rename your root script and put it on my internal memory?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nikagl:
Nope. Rooting needs to be done by getting write access to system. That can only be achieved through an exploit (not available on a511) or through recovery. Even modifying the install-recovery.sh cannot be done without write access. And even if you could, you'd need to figure out what the format of the .p file is in that script:

applypatch EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX:4065536:c0e4c2454af0d86260400079275e59590984a54d EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS 8f36e7efc3306265ecb88deabf278a95c4e72ec7 4712704 c0e4c2454af0d86260400079275e59590984a54d:/system/recovery-from-boot.p

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] scorpio16v:
Since JB is out for A511 for some days, my question is how we can root the devices save now.

At least there seems no save custom recovery image for it, right ?

Unfortunately the A511 isn't a much populare device on XDA-Developers. There are some infos on russian sites, but google translation causes to much garbage for me to understand it.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Chib:
I'm also looking for the root on a510 JB. I'm actually from that Russian site. However, the method from there mean that you should install custom recovery, Thus, in case of "emergency", some troubles with warranty may occur. There is no way to lock bootloader back to bring device to service.

So if some method (not so brutal) exists please send me in a right direction.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] himmatsj:
WHo says there's no way to lock bootloader back? If you want to bring a device back to original full stock state, first reinstall the stock ROM from Acer's website (this will lock the bootloader itself too), and then install the stock recovery. Two simple steps and you are good to go.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] RimSo:
Hi guys,

Did is there any way to root A510 with 4.1.2 JB ?

[HTC Rezound] kevin.thomas:
My rezound is currently stuck in fastboot recovery screen. Whether i reset or power down it just returns to the fastboot menu. I got the phone stock gb and tried updating to team bamf ics. It installed but realized it was crashing and went back to try to fix it following the team bamf old firmware update. I got to step 9 on the installation process part 1 but since i flashed the team bamf rom the android leak i was supposed to update to before flashing team bamf rom won't work because my phone is no longer fully stock. How do i fix everything and get back to team bamf rom? Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention my device is S-ON.
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
Try to reinstall your recovery and then try to install the ROM again.
[HTC Rezound] kevin.thomas:
i will try that as soon as i reformat my pc... it suddenly crashed... -_-' and i'm waiting on a windows 7 dvd. will update as soon as i can
[HTC Rezound] kevin.thomas:
so i had to unlock the bootloader again before putting the recovery but when i unlocked the bootloader the phone went off. now the charging light just keeps flashing and the phone wont show anything on the screen

never mind this phone felt like toying with me
[HTC Rezound] kevin.thomas:
ok it worked i'm back on Team BAMF rom. but every time i try dialing a number on the dialer it crashes
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
Does the phone app crash or does your phone reboot? Also, does it do the same when you try messing with settings?
[HTC Rezound] kevin.thomas:
i got it to work by installing the old firmware patch file i found. now to get data working.
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
It might be best to do a completely fresh install.

Extract the boot.img file from your P98IMG zip and drop it into your ADB directory. Go into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, install ROM and firmware patch. Then reboot into bootloader, go into ADB and type in fastboot flash boot boot.img then reboot your phone. Let it sit for about 5 minutes after the first boot and everything should work just fine. :highfive:
[HTC Rezound] kevin.thomas:
wow that's exactly what i was doing. I installed the Team PkmN - Venasaur Rom v3.2.0 to make it easy on myself because i'm on a gsm network and installed the gsm patch to go with it plus the firmware patch and everything works 100 %. Wow i learnt a lot and i can say it's been fun... Thanks for all your help :good: :D
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
No problem. Glad I could help. It's a learning process, but there are great things to learn. I usually use ADB for everything but installing a ROM (since you can't...I'd love to see this happen one day.) Never have a problem when I do. If you have any more issues just PM me.
[HTC Rezound] kevin.thomas:
no probs thanks again

With bigmem you will lose 720p functionality for more RAM (403MB). Nothing is removed form stock configuration.

I mean compare to wall AC charger, that is.

question.................................
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jader13254:
no

charging a battery is always very "difficult" for the battery. if you charge not so fast, the battery wont get hot anymore and it's better for battery life. but it takes 2h 30 minutes and with a/c you need 1h
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
nope..not at all..usb charging gives very less amount of energy compared to AC charging..thats why it takes more time to charge and it is completely safe :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Katriela:
True. I prefer charging my phone by USB. This way my phone never gets hot. If your don't have time then use AC charging.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
but whatever happens just avoid car charging!! its can do more damage than we can imagine
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
And why is that?

Swyped from my SE Xperia arc (LT15i) using Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
Becoz car battery does not give stable electricity and output with variance electricity that may damage your battery.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandoliasnikos:
That's the chargers job.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antochrist:
I've got no idea if its safe for the battery, I prefer AC, I never charge my arc over the computer. What about the difference between USB and AC is that AC gives you 850mA an the computer USB(2.0) only 500mA!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
Car chargers are safe as long as they are decently made (Fully Regulated). A good regulated Car charger is just as safe as any other charger.

Lithium Batteries are pretty hardy as far as charging goes. (just dont over charge or fully discharge)

as far as USB is concerned, some USB2 ports will supply up to 900ma,

I charge my phone on my Tablet charger all the time (2000ma or 2Amp) simply because it is FAST. sure the phone gets warm but the phone/charger will regulate the charge as it needs to.

it is also good to note that the quality of the charger is very important.

cheep charger = more likely to damage battery as well as cause funny issues with the phone when plugged in.

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Exactly. Your battery will prevent it from getting over charged. It's safe.

Personally, I use Nokia chargers as they deliver a higher output.

Nokia AC-10N gives an output of 1,200mA. [Home - AC wall charger with a long cable]

Nokia DC-20 gives an output of 1,000mA. [Car charger with dual USB ports; both ports output 1A each].

Been using both for a long time now without any issues. Didn't go for the SE chargers because of the lower output, which takes longer to charge the phone.

And to the OP, USB charging is safe.
