Root successful!

Yes! After many trial and error in the 64bit linux system, I still couldn't push the adb to root.

This toolkit does alow you to root from strach for RV27RC03_WW_GEN1

I installed Superuser and root checker to confirm root access is available.

For everyone else there is hesitant to try to root from scratch, it's really easy to install Lubuntu (i previously had no experience except I used to jailbreak iphone so i was quite familiar with the file system structure (like /var and /lib or some su or sudo commands), you can burn it on a CD or create a usb installer to boot.

The main point here is to download the 32 bit as Enton and treetop777 suggested, they do not require additional drivers for the toolkit to run. You can also install alonside a windows OS to make it as a dual boot device.

A lot more of the better toolkit for S-Off does require Linux rather than Windows, they usually come much more later (For example, HTC One)

Overall this toolkit works wonders, took me less than 15 minutes for this root process.

Finally I would like to thank everyone who answered my questions, but as Enton said, if you root from scratch there is no harm, whether it is successful or not. it would not brick your device, but flashing someone else image, could have a chance to corrupt the device (if the md5 checksum is wrong)

How do I install everything except SU binary? What do I need to type?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
you need the starter script.

install everything except SU and busybox
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cloudyherb:
Yeah I am already in script manager, I start the script as root, but it only says this package installs busybox, Su binary, sqlite and zipalign. How can I just install one out of the three?

Some users in this forum says their device won't boot up even after factory reset after using supercharger.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
you are prompted later, what you like to install and what not.

i only tested it for the B1-A71... so no guarantee for other devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cloudyherb:
Thanks Enton, I will ask other fellow users.

Hi fellow owners of a1-810 , is anyone else installed with supercharger and has no issue at all?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] old_art:
Download link broken??

Can give mirror link for v0.8.1???

cannot retrieve from the link
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cloudyherb:
It's working for me.....just tested now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] old_art:
I'm using lubuntu..

i put the toolkit in /home/abu/

then i got this error...what to do??? 0_o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
unzip the zip file without moving files around?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
User arzakon.nn found a critical bug.

This bug should be affecting every device except A1-81x.

The path to the su binary is not set properly. I fixed it already but will release the patch tomorrow.

Thanks again to arzakon.nn!! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
The hardest working DEV of them all :good::good:

Wish you had a "English" donation button.

I enjoy my A1-810 much more now that it's rooted.

Thanks for the effort you put into this tool - there is nothing like it!

Good Deal! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cloudyherb:
Thanks for helping me before too treetop, enton is indeed a hard working one.

Since your device is rooted, what rooted apk you install to enhance it?

I wanted to load supercharger but some other users reported their a1 won't turn on even after factory resets.

So far I have install adaway, TB, rom toolbox.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
Rom toolbox?? for what? Anyway, my main reason for rooting it was to be able to use it in the car uninhibited. I have Tasker along with secure settings and many functions require root. TB and adaway are a must but i also use FX file explorer with the root ad-on for routine file maintenance. Other than that she's stock and de-bloated (that's about the best part).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cloudyherb:
Enton suggested that rom toolbox so....I thought I will give that a try... Also I used TB just to freeze a bunch of apps, I didn't want to uninstall them as I probably want to update if there is a patch in the near future.

Tasker is a great tool, for both "anicient" hardware and the new flagship phones, I have it on my HTC one, but because I am not carrying my tablet around I have utilize its potential yet.

I have install 2 additional launcher, one of them were suggested by user MH FLING in the google+ page, it is the kitkat 4.4 launcher. But since I am comparing it with stock, I thought I will go further and install Nova Prime launcher, to compare, as well. I personally think the 4.4. launcher maybe a bit smoother, but I will test it out and see how much ram they will be using in the next few days.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] konsolen:
Hi, you cannuse AndroideTweaker pro for that works good.

Then with xposed installer install the gravitibox and activate bravia engine and screen responsive.

All over that now you cantweak all. From different batt styles oder colors on every icon and so on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] old_art:
Still no luck to improve the sensitivity...

someone can help with this??

for the xposed installer, i cant install and update the framework and obviously gravitibox will not work too
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aldolo:
at last I did it. a1 810 rooted. most dounting task was to start xubuntu 13.4 via usb on a samsung laptop . no glitch, no extra setup, no need to update anything from the playstore.

many thanks to entonjackson and to all the others helping him.

i only regret the update to rev21 because now the tablet do not recharge anymore when connected to the laptop (or was already this way before???).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
Post 1824 has something about a modified xposed installer for the A1, maybe that would work. ??

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Took you long enough to build-up the courage :D Good deal you got it rooted :good:, what image version is it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aldolo:
21 now and rooted. 18 before the upgrade.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 888jonathan:
I've heard that A1-810's OTA fixed the touch screen sensitivity problem, have you installed the latest one? I saw it somewhere on the internet, I'm not completely sure about this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cloudyherb:
I have not yet read the past change log, but do you know which OTA has this fix? I am on RV27RC03 WW GEN1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] old_art:
I think i know that thread. i've read it...but it not satisfied me, still cant draw with stylus, for navigate yes...

i've checked the FW OTA b4 i root my device, and it shows no update..

just now i try to check it again..but an error show that "this system update is not allowed on your device. Please call the service center for help"

Does it mean after root i cant update OTA? how do fix it? unroot?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigbob_ftw:
That's the way it works on my phone, I would assume this would be the same.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] old_art:
which one r u talking about?? the OTA fix your touchscreen sensitivity? or after root cant update OTA??

will the updated Xposed 2.4.1 work with the acer 810 without needing to mod?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iPeck:
come on, little help plz ???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Grichecth:
My B1-710 also bootlooped but was because I used the prerooted system.img file as posted in the main thread, which isn't compatible with a lot of them. Manually rooting in Linux is the only safe way (And only way I got mine to work). I returned mine for exchange (claimed it just stopped working) & tried again after. Someone posted something about a different method of restoring a few pages back. Might be best to look into that. I can't remember exactly what it was called but it seemed to work for one individual.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iPeck:
Alright ! Sounds like an exchange... Damn it, i had a bad feeling from start, guess next time ill stick to my instincts

Thanks mate ;)

Maybe this could work, it's for a different tablet but it should work for any android tablet/phone. Run the "install ADB drivers.exe" and READ THE README so you know what to expect.

if I write "adb devices" it works and gives some identification code

But when i run the toolkit again still gives the error of no conection!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
Yeah but i never installed adb drivers in Linux so whatever was there (in windows) worked. As far as the problem you're having, the only other thing i can think of is that the tab is going to sleep (like other user said) in the middle of the process.

Sorry don't know what else could be wrong. The only other time i got that message the tab was already in a bootloop.
