I'm having the same issue.

I installed superuser and also es file explorer, but no root access.

I must thank you for your effort. I hope that you can fix the issues, but take your time :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
oh ****. i know what's the problem.

this workaround is only for you a1-810 guys! replace the su binary in /bin folder with this one.

Then try again.

I will upload the fix tomorrow or friday, because i won't have much time tomorrow.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alessiof89:
ok. I wait your fix in the next days, because in Italy it's night now :D

Good job and thanks for your time ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
in Germany also ;)

and what a damn hot night. couldn't get much sleep last night. hope this will be better! :cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Can confirm that ;) fuc*** hot here...

Will try tomorrow with the new su.bin

2. Plug-In your Acer Iconia A1-810 into this PC.

3. Enable USB Debugging Mode by going into Settings -> Developer Tools.

4. Put prerooted system.img.gz into folder: system_image.

5. Keep your device plugged in until it's finally rooted, or this procedure is a

borted!

Looking at last lines I'm guessing it's something wrong with system variables but i don't know what :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
I'm wondering, is it possible to repartition the eMMC to give /data more space while taking that space from the internal sd partition?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I updated v0.6.0 by adding 2 su binaries. one for a1 and one for b1. updated the code of the toolkit also.

Please trial and report. Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
We already had this problem. It looks like telnet server couldn't be started. You could try starting it manually. I don't have much time today. On the weekend I will have more time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
I tried but it look like in my case telnet never starts at all :/

Also it seems to run ADB 32 bit but I have x64 architecture (don't know if it makes any difference).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ak6:
Did you leave your screen on and unlock your tablet during the root process ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
[MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION]

no success i downloaded your new version but i have no root.

I installed SuperSU and also root browser. (Doesn't work)

But i also got an error see screenshot:

EDIT: I will try the second method.

EDIT: 2. Method doesn't work, too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Fixed it right now. It's been a hard coded path to bin/su.

Please try again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Now i switched to windows :D

Will try it.

EDIT: Doesn't work no root.... :( Will try on Ubuntu again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
Yes I did.

I get to the point where telnet should start running, i get no feedback after clicking RUN either by software or by finger but after that, toolkit ALWAYS crashes.

Still no go:

I tried your new version on windows and ubuntu.

But i still have no root access.

EDIT: FINALLY it works!! (but i think it doesn't work correctly because i must click a few times on the popup to allow root access)

EDIT2: No, it doesn't work correctly. I can't delete system apps or do anything else. (I think the problem is that R/W can't be mounted)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarrellW94:
Thanks for this toolkit, very easy to root once I updated to RC05RV05 after the patch was released.

I now have system.img.gz in /cache on the device, is this safe to delete?

Thanks! :good:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
yes you can delete it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
A1-810 rooted but...

My A1-810 is rooted

To do it I followed the python script step by step and did it manually

That the way I found the seek error (hardcoded value for B1-A71)

The new su binary from cwm website works well. Program who need root privileges are now asking for permission.

But... It is impossible, for me, the have the system partiton mounted with read/write access. Then you cannot supress apk or modify files. The only way to do that right now is to work with system.img mounted as ext4 partition in a linux box.

If someone have a solution, lets talk :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
so the toolkit didn't work, right?

what did not work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Sorry, my skills in Python are very low

It is very easy to reproduce the steps manually but I cannot tell you where the problem is

The procedure works. It is a fact. It is very easy to get a system image and operate on it while mouted.

I will try again tonight. Step by step to locate the problem if I can. Unfortunatly, I cannot promise something.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
try again with v0.5.6 and print output here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Either you have not much space left as the error message says, or you could have this problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mcnugget15:
I have almost no programs or file installed and am happy to do a full factory reset to delete everything. How do I fix the USB problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
try reinstalling usb drivers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mcnugget15:
I have installed the USB driver update on my PC and the Invalid Partition Error fix. I am still having the same problem as last time. Any other ideas?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] BurningRubb3r:
Stuck after control

Yo,

Got a short question.

after it takes control of my tablet, types in the words en presses run; It pops up that there is no disk in the drive.

In the debug run it said somthing with dropbox..

Any idea what i did wrong?

Thanks in advance! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
run it from command shell with parameter -d and post the output here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
try to start telnet server manually.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BurningRubb3r:
the point is that the strange "no disk in the drive" popup comes and when i press run on the tablet and after that continue on the popup it stops somehow, but cmd remains open..

Sorry I'm that stupid
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
i see no "no disk in the drive" error
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BurningRubb3r:
That pops up in a separate windows, but i cant upload the screenshot, because i dont have 10 posts on the forum yet :s

the popus says:

"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive D:."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
then you have a driver problem
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BurningRubb3r:
Any idea what kind of driver? For the tablet or for some kind of sdk?

I have android sdk installed and i have usb acer 1.0_a41J_a....zip Driver installed ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mcnugget15:
Hi again

After trying to get the root to work it finally did. After this was confirmed I installed the External to Internal feature and now I cant get my external SD card to be found and when it does briefly find it, it disappears after a few seconds. What is the best way to uninstall the External to Internal feature? Also how do you apply the Acer firmware when the external SD isn't working? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BurningRubb3r:
Ok,

i managed to get a little more info by using the older 0,5,6 version.

it is now rooted!

Thanks mate!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
simply apply again the internal external patch.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
Any news on A1-810? How can I help determine whats going on?

If you need testers, i'm here...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
So the su binary generally works?

Only doesn't work for mounting /system R/W ?

Then we need another su binary, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
I think so...

But the pop up windows which asks for root access opens a few times... for example when i open titanium backup. I must click about 10 times on allow.....

I installed root explorer which has a button to mount system r/w but it can't be mounted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I actually haven't tested it myself as i don't own a A1. I only have this informations + su binary from a user, that reported he rooted succesfully his A1 with my tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Hmm I don't know...

I can only tell you that i have not full root access. Maybe with another su binary can fix this problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
You could try something.

Uninstall Superuser App (then you will lose root!)

root again with my tool.

Install SuperSu.

Maybe this could fix the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
The problem is, no info is ever sent do my A1-810. It doesn't matter what i do, it always crashes after prompt about starting telnet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
at which point exactly? i would need the output from "toolkit -d" call.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Doesn't work :(

I also did a factory reset before but it is still the same.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
about r/w problem, the su binary is not the problem

Into the shell, after su we got root privileges (UID=GID=0) then I think it is a kernel problem (it wont let us remount the system parition until processes from system are currently running)

my 2 cents
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Any way to solve this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Any chances to build a custom kernel?

Acer released also the kernel sources (but the bootloader is locked...)

So we need an unlocked bootloader or we can forget it....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
Did ANYONE here rooted their A1-810 with this toolkit?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
[original post modified]

The kernel complained for processes still using partition then.. I did supress every widgets currently running

then I launched FX File Explorer and try to unlock the padlock...and it worked :)

Thank you again entonjackson for all your work :)

note : If someone knows where to grab an official update.zip (firmware : Acer_AV052_A1-810_RV03RC08_WW_GEN1) it would be great.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I'm a little confused now.. what actually has worked? ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jareee:
Hi all,

i bought today A1-810 ( great device ) ... read this thread but i didn't found answer if Toolkit v.0.6.0 successfully working for rooting A1-810...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Ok friends.

News from user ak6. He told me, he experienced the same problems as you guys. Having root, but unable to mount /system with read-write permissions.

He said he's using now the new su in koush' s superuser apk, which i just replaced in the zip file. with that one it should work.

He also wrote me this:

Nevertheless... i updated the zip file. Please try it out and report me if it worked or not.

Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

I believe it's the same problem as with the chmod command. I fixed it in 0.2.9 please try again.

The problem is telnet, it opens a separate and secure kind of shell. By now i cannot read the output of it, without blocking the process, which will end up in a freeze. Trying to find a way to manage that. Writing input into it is also tricky, but the way i fixed the chmod problem should also work for the write back of the system.img.gz.

see this rooting might be easy for many here great efforts for sure! But many don't even have the knowledge what's going on here lol, so please do keep working on simple root too please!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Thanks! I will!

The people here don't want and don't need to know what's actually going on. Me as a developer also don't want to know how python actually works. I just want it to work, as it's expected. It's ok.

Next I want to implement:

Unroot feature

Internal <-> External SD

After that I will try to automate starting the telnet server on the iconia, because at the moment this is the most difficult thing they need to do. Also this is the only point they can actually make a mistake at.

But for now, I'm happy I made the rooting process work :cowboy:

Have a nice weekend!
