OK GUYS SO I got this from a pm with DAVEPMR all credit is due to him I was not able to get past the adb shell command as my 64 bit windows 8 did not recognize my device and there are no drivers for our device for PC but if anyone here wants to try we have an untested GUIDE

Not sure we can help much, rooting kind of requires a phone to test on.

you will need su and Superuser http://www.4shared.com/file/77Hm6isK/su_online.html Superuser.apk is at http://www.4shared.com/android/o6FouNYk/Superuser.html

but you might try

adb shell

rm -r /data/local/tmp

ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp

exit

adb reboot

adb shell

echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop

exit

adb reboot

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

adb push su /system/xbin/su

adb shell

chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

rm /data/local.prop

exit

adb reboot

adb install Superuser.apk

ive tried z4 not super one click heres the issue with super 1 click it was designed to root gingerbread just like z4 root none of those one clicks have been tested on a device with ICS on it thats the issue when it comes to that ! and yes patiently waiting heres an edit ive tried adb shell on the flex on a windows 7 32 bit! and still no luck i cannot get the dang thing to recognize our devices i tried downloading and installing pantechs only drivers for the burst and still no luck! im at a loss when it comes to this how can we get our device to be recognzied by adb shell?
[General Questions and Answers] donavan01:
Maybe we need to start bugging Pantech for drivers... I don't think the drivers for the Burst would work anyways. The Flex uses a Qualcomm MSM8960 and the Burst uses the Snapdragon S3 APQ8060. I know they're both Arm7 processors but my guess is that the rest of the hardware in the phones is different too.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Just requested drivers from Pantech lets see if that does any good.
[General Questions and Answers] atadres:
i. the process of creating driver permissions for adb using a Linux box guess it's a race between me and pantech Haha
[General Questions and Answers] atadres:
OK GUYS BREAKTHROUGH thanks to Bin4ry root once we are able to get drivers for our device we will be able to root using this method hopefully as it is tested on 4.0.4 !! now its just a matter of getting drivers

I PMD you think your up to it ? Lets get this thing rooted!
[General Questions and Answers] donavan01:
Well I have been eamil back and forth with Pantech and although they are quick to respond I'm not too sure the Rep I am talking to is very up on the more techinical details of the phone. He keeps insisting that the phone doesnt need a driver (which is just silly).
[General Questions and Answers] atadres:
I told you how to create permissions for adb to recognize it without drivers in the PM lol and yes! they will say that every single time! because technically the device does not need drivers it can be used as a fat32 mode or as a media device unlike the Samsung which has it locked to only camera mode and media device mode the flex has the ability to install its own drivers for usb transferring to sd card and internal memory which is a great feature not available on the S3 and other devices but for root reasons we do in fact need drivers but pantech well probably never concede drivers for a root method alone! as root really isn't embraced by many manufacturers just follow the steps on your Linux distro that I pmd you after editing the driver permissions you should be able to get adb to recognize the device after that we can proceed with testing bin4ry
[General Questions and Answers] donavan01:
At the time I wrote my post I still hadn't made it home from work to use my laptop (linux). I figure I would just keep the thread updated on what Pantech said. I figured they would say no but hey if you don't ask you will never know. I hoping to get a few mins free today to follow the instruction you sent me (got my laptop with me today)
[General Questions and Answers] atadres:
cool cool lol i just bought a bunch of blanks and will re install my linux on my cpu today too and i talked to them too through email i asked them if they could make us drivers so that we could "use their PC SUITE" that the burst used to use app on windows "haha" they did not reply
[General Questions and Answers] donavan01:
Ok so just an update on the progress Atadres and I have made so far. With some help from Atadres I managed to get ADB to recognize the Flex so we are now in able to access the phone via ADB in Ubuntu. I tried using the scripted method by Bin4ry but it requires the use of a program that we do not have the ability to run being that it was written for Sony phones and doesn't seem to like the Flex. Atadres is currently attempting to manually root the phone and I will be giving it a go as soon as I get some spare time again. Hopefully he will beat me too it :)
[General Questions and Answers] atadres:
Just to add a couple of comments to this ! the bin4ry may be able to still work with the addition of a certain file we may need to addd to the root of our phones internal storage Donavan and i have been working closely with davepmr and Bin4ry (great devs)! who deserve much credit as well as Donavan01 has said this root method will probably only be available for linux users as we are no windows experts and have not had any luck trying to get the drivers over to windows for adb shell on the flex those hopefully will come soon

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] GermainZ:
Using kitchens doesn't make you a developer.

Theming doesn't make you a developer.

Actually, I'd say none of the S5830i are true developers / fully using their skills if they are. They're ROM maintainers, themers for some, and they do a great job at it, but all they're doing it following tutorials. ;)

Anyway, if you really want to help and all, I think it would be more productive if you learn java and start programming android apps instead. Any ROMs you create at this stage will be redundant and unoriginal, but creating apps will be a good base for later on -if you want to create custom ROMs or continue with apps.

Good luck.

EDIT: Just to avoid flames and such, I never said I'm better or more experienced than anyone.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] indirectx:
So I've gathered that for some reason the B&N Bookstore APK won't run on custom ROMS like CM 9/10. I haven't been able to find through searching in this forum why this is the case. Is anyone aware of why the app won't run? Is it an internal check for a model string or something like that?

I'm running the latest CM10 Alpha and it's really killing me not having wired on the nook...that was one of the big selling points of it for me - digital access to my WIRED subscription. If I can somehow help get development started on patching that app, I'd like to.

I am running the Alien Fire ROM and the B&N Nook app works. I have two magazine subscriptions and they work just fine.

Are you referring to the Nook app that's available through Google Play? There are several magazine apps that will only work through the B&N Nook app that's part of the stock ROM. WIRED is one of these subscriptions and will only work from that particular APK.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sleephe:
I'm going to be on a car long ride with my friends next week, and I would really like some game suggestions that our group of 4 can play. Preferably, these games should (listed in order of preference) not require everyone to have a nexus 7, engage everyone equally without losing interest, not get boring after 5 hours of play (wifi and data are not a problem), not require too much movement ( we are in a car), and engage an unlimited number of people.

So far, I've tried out Taboo, truth or dare, and Would You Rather. These are decent games but they have their weaknesses and it never hurts to have more.

Sorry about such weird demands, the Marketplace's social category does not list social games for real life interaction. Though I can blame them.

--Open CMD

4.) Open A500Manager from APX_v0.4A-flashTool-500Manager1.0.2

5.) Open a CMD in the expanded V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm folder

- Run a500-hc.bat

- Enter the SBK (step 2) when prompted

- On A500Manager click on "Enter APX mode"

- When the status bar in A500Manager and ICS Root 7.1.1 reads "A500 Detected in APX Mode" press enter in the a500-hc.bat CMD window

CTRL+C

-v8.bat

At this point it will read "PASS" in ASCII art on the device

-reboot the device

6.) Download Honeycomb rom from either

- Select update.zip

- Swipe to confirm flash. This will take a couple of minutes

15.) Reboot

16.) At this stage I would expect to have honeycomb installed and the option to update to ICS via OTA available to me. However all I get is the Android title flashing from time to time. Also rebooting into the TWRP was no longer working either. All I ended up getting trying to boot into TWRP was a 2D Andoid drawing with a yellow exclamation mark.

17.) Download ICS rom from above link to try and see if flashing with ICS might work

Progress

I managed to boot the tablet into fastboot mode and to delete the user data. Once that was done I managed to boot into 3.2. However since I picked the EMEA version it was all in German. For some reason I picked an image for an A501. So now my tablet runs 3.2 in German and thinks it is a A501. Also there are no OTA updates available, presumably because the device (A500) does not match the ROM (A501).

I tried to update to various other images using the recovery option, but all just end up on the yellow exclamation.

Any suggestions on how to recover from this. I am guess I need to root my device and re-install TWRP. Any pointers on rooting 3.2 ?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:


Thanks for all the info, makes it a lot easier to help!!!

You were doing fine until Step 6 - flashing an HC 3.2 Rom

The patched bl is for ics roms.!

3.2 is locked down, theres never been a way to root it without installing a pre-rooted stock 3.2 like timmydeans v4 or ezterry's one

When u flashed it, it also flashed the stock recovery and wiped yr twrp.

I'd suggest u start over again with the patched boot loader flash, get a recovery back on there and flash any of the ics roms OR

You could try running the update.zip from jdgM3NT4L's thread if u want to try an OTA to ICS - only thing there is u need to do

a full wipe otherwise you'll get stuck booting.

tdv4 will give u a rooted 3.2 with cwm - this should OTA you as well - this method will wipe your tab clean and you'll need yr cpuid.

Once you have yr rom flashed id be tempted to full wipe it again and beforehand, just to get rid of anything that shouldn't be there

Good luck with it and let us know how u get on

And so my journey continues. I am now back on an English version of 3.2 after using V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm to update the bootloader and restore the recovery function. So small progress.

However now I was hoping to be able to OTA to stock ICS, yet it tells me that I am already on the latest version. Currently I am on:
