B1-710 swap Internal to External storage

Hi,

i have the B1-710.

I want to swap Internal to External storage.

I used the 0.7.7 Toolkit and it should be done, but if i restart my B1-710 the internal and external storage is allways unchanged.

I used Windows 8 for rooting my B1-710 with this toolkit and it worked fine. Only swap Internal to External storage would not work.

Does anyone know the problem be solved?

Thanks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hilfored:
ooo ok

Ok thanks sorry if i ask a lot but im new on this hehe ok if any thin goes wrong can i post it? :) so much for answer so quick :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
Thanks. But there are 2 problems.

1. the script for Swap Internal to External (B1-710) goes to a wrong directory in script is "\external2internal\b1_710" in the directory is "\external2internal\b1-710"

2. If i changed the directorys name to "\external2internal\b1_710" the script works fine but my tablet is unchanged...

---

and if i copy the "vold.fstab.nand.swapped" and "vold.fstab.swapped" from B1-710 directory to my tablet in etc after restart sd0 is internal and sd2 is not readable

do you know the problem?

Thanks

No Chance again to root the 811.

It stoped always after creating system.IMG.tz

Tried 3 different Linux versions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
will fix the other bugs.

did you rename vold.fstab.swapped to vold.fstab?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
Hi,

yes i renamed all 2 (vold.fstab & vold.fstab.nand)

and after i copy this 2 "swapped" files (renamed to vold.fstab & vold.fstab.nand) in etc and made a restard my sdcard did not work and the internal sd was not changed.

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aldolo:
konsolen comment is enlightning. in my opinion the best practice for this root should start from a common linux distribution. ubuntu live is available for many system after all. it is easyer to start from a bootable usb stick then to go crazy with so many difference.

what do you think?

(i'm still waiting 4.3 or 4.4 before rooting).

regards.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I updated v0.7.8.

Containing fix for root from scratch and swap internal to external.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
Given the absence of a proper Acer Iconia A1-810 forum, this seems like a prudent place to ask a few questions.

Firstly, I am working on editing the bootloader of the A1-810 device to take out the security checks (signature verifications) so we can use any software we like on our devices (custom recovery, android etc.). However, during my time playing with my device, i have managed to enter into a bootloop.

So, here are my questions:

1, Does anybody know how to enter the factory mode i see plastered all over the binary files I have looked a in IDA?

2. Anyone know how to get the Preloader to stop booting so MTKTools can have time to communicate. i read for similar tablets its Power + Reset for 3 seconds, but this doesn't seem to work on A1-810.

3. Can anyone post a full backup done with MTKTools? (mine failed due to insufficient internal storage space) I'm on RV21RC02_WW_GEN1.

4. anyone know why the fastboot OEM commands all fail? (Different drivers needed maybe?)

Also, If anyone is interested in how to create a full backup of their ROM using SPFlashTools, please let me know and I will explain all. Only problem is that you must have enough space on your internal sdcard to hold the files it generates. This only works if you have done a factory reset of your phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
the reason why you cannot do sh*t in fastboot mode is, because the bootloader is locker.

but this is written in the FAQ.

If you don't get into recovery mode anymore your device is beyond any repair.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
I can enter recovery mode just fine. I realise the bootloader is locked, that's why I'm working on unlocking it. Please read before posting useless replies. I know this is your thread, but still...

Also, having access to recovery still doesn't help as the only available (signed) updates don't fix the problem I'm having.

I wander if you know about entering META mode on MTK devices?

I came to your thread looking for help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
Hi,

sorry, but nothing changed...

With this 2 files in B1-710 the sd1 is allways the internal sd and sd2 (ext-sd) is not usable because it is not detected. (If i copy this files with root explorer to etc)

The directory name (or the path to swapped file) is not fixed.

Hello,

after putting in a bootloop a1.810 8GB, I've got another 16GB that was on offer but now I do not move to do anything until there is security of a root without problems!!

where are we?

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] konsolen:
On the side of the 811, we are behind the beginning.Sad but true.

No New Version of the toolkit has the ability to root this device.

I am very interested, why acer locked this thing so hard. It has no big community and the Hardware is also only in the middlefield. No reason for such secure mechanism.(in my mind)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] konsolen:
Its done

Command back, i did it. I successfull root the Acer A1 811 with full system r7w support.

Now i will try to modify this Rom like other navbar icons, battery etc.

yes i did it. And after rename the script does work - but it does not work for my B1-710

The internal sd is allways the first sdcard and the external sdcard does not work after the script.

If i use my backup from the vold.fstab the external sdcard works again but only on sdcard2

Does anyone get the internal - external switch on B1-710 to work?

Should i complete reset my B1-710 to factory settings? Is the root after factory reset on my b1-710 active?

Acer Iconia A1-810 unrooting and updating

I would like to update my Iconia A1 device, but everytime I am trying to update via OTA, my tablet is rebooting, the green android logo appears and it´s "updating", and then I get "error". Tablet is stuck about 5 min, and then it´s turning on. I have rooted my tablet with Acer Iconia toolkit and with prerooted system image. I have unrooted my tablet and that didn´t help. I have tried to unroot with toolkit "unroot" choice, and I also tried to unroot with super SU app. I have tried to root and unroot again and even clear all my data (pressing power on and volyme up and choosing clear all data). Anyway, the tablet is still working fine, just with old software. So is there anyone who could help me and tell me how I can update my device software to new one (RV21RC02_WW_GEN1 ---> RV27RC03_WW_GEN1)? I also tried to download different software versions, name it "update.zip" and install it in factory mode, "apply update from external storage", but it crashed every time. I was thinking, if I could find stock rom, can I install that with Acer toolkit, like "rooting" with unrooted stock image? If I get it right, I can´t just unroot my tablet with "RV03RC08" stock rom (from first page) and with that "root" option in toolkit, becouse it´s not my current verion? I was trying to do that, and then the toolkit warned me to root only with my own version, so I stop the process. I read, that if you wanna unroot your device, you have to "root" it with stock ROM, but then why there is also own "unroot" option in toolkit (which I used)? I´m a litlle noob and I just want to get new updates. I tried to look answers several days for example on these sites, so if there was something helpful comments, I didn´t notice. And english is not my native language, so its harder to search information.

Thank you beforehand from your answers! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
You can only unroot if you have a clean stock image of RV21RC02_WW_GEN1 as far as i know. Until you can unroot it, it will not update. If it was me, i wouldn't even worry about updating, unless it's a major update from one android version to another. IMO.

So, what do the Acer user here say to my little tweaks?

The Rom has Sony Bravia Engine, Sony XLoud, Kernel Tweaks, Menüicon for Tethering, Menü for Battery Icons, Jpeg-Video Tweak and glossy Navbar buttons with the extendet Powermenu.

This is the first tablet where i can see a big difference in the Bravia Engine. Very Smooth Picture now.

[MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION], so I re-read this entire thread and pretty much figured out that I'm an idiot. All my mistakes/bricks were just lack of knowledge & trying to impulsively skip ahead. Anyways, rooted from scratch from lbuntu and I now have a perfectly rooted B1-710. Did you want my system.img.gz file to post to the prerooted images section? Would be for RV04RC01_PA_CA. If yes, Any idea where I could host? I heard you say before that Dropbox wasn't a good method of distribution.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] agentdeep:
yea 15e 8gb version.

I rooted mine from scratch using Ubuntu and not this toolkit. It was the procedure you posted from other thread.

I think you are right, 8gb and 16gb version has separate updates, is the 265 prerooted img came from 16gb version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
No. I have 8gb and 256.

pawitp told me, the offsets in the dd command must be changed to not brick the device...

this is what makes me wonder, because you made without bricking.

Something to try: "If users are facing problems even if you have R/W Workaround, try to delete or rename the /system/bin/su to make the /system/xbin/su work. I'm not quite sure, but my root permission is working fine without /system/bin/su and I can update my su binary with supersu."
