Hi,

ThankS for the Reply.

i have already contacted this italian user, but for now i have no response. unfortunatly today is a very bad day for me and maybe i try to root this aftwernoon. Thanks for now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsdnix:
Just a quick question: I've got Acer Iconia B1-710 (newer version of B1 that has 1GB RAM), according to few people, it has same hw as previous version B1-A71... Does this means that I can use same toolkit to root my new device or not? I really need a correct answer. I don't want to brick my new device because of assumptions...

thank you and best regards.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
info the revenge

Ho SODAFR,

what od 2 image file i have to download? the original, or the RW ? what are the differences?

THANKSSSS
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Probably no one knows the answer yet.

I understand if you don't want to brick your device. But there is simple way to find out if your device is compatible or not.

Well... more or less simple.

1. u need linux. either full installation or as virtual machine or as live cd

2. use my toolkit with parameter -d

3. then at some point you get this message:

Abort here and post the entire output.

It would be awesome if you could do this. It's safe, as long as you quit the toolkit at the point described in step 3.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
If you're lucky, everything went fine and you can just push the reset button (don't know where it's located on the A1-810). And restart the device.

then install Superuser from Google PlayStore.

install RootChecker and check if you're on god mode or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] boqs:
Thanks for the reply entonjackson.

I drained the battery (screen was on for the full duration of the freeze), and it started OK afterwards. No root though. Any idea what went wrong?

There's a small hole besides the power button, guess that's the reset-button (paper-clip will fit snugly).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
We already had this error message.

I cannot say what's the cause yet.

The device is A1-810. right?

A syntax error can be excluded, as for others this works.

I could imagine this is A1 related.

If you want to go safe, try to root over any linux you like. No drivers and system image needed. It's way easier and above all: safer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
when an Android device is frozen you only have to press the power button for 10~12 secondes (hard power off)

There is 2 little holes at the right side; just under the sdCard is the microphone and more bottom the factory rest button.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

The difference between these two images are very minor.

If you just nedd root to manually clean your device, choose the first (without RW)

but if you need APK able to remount /system with write permissions then choose the one with RW workaround

I cannot garanty you it is 100% safe. Doing that kind of thing may be dangerous for your device (power failure, accidently unplug the usb, ...) Maybe you really should wait for Allessiof89's return before doing something.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsdnix:
Hi entonjackson, thank you for a quick response. I would probably let you down by saying this; but I'm not wealthy person (even though this tablet worth 150$), so gambling like this to brick the device is unfortunatelly out of a question... since you stated that I need to use linux and write image on it, I presume it uses "dd" command to do it. That means when you execute that command it starts to write block by block, so I don't really see that as a "safe" point, that will do no harm...

Rooting ?

Hello everyone !

I'm a newbie (or what i'm called) here, not (yet) a developer. I just would like to remove some apps, like the outdated McAfee Mobile Internet Security, which can only be updated for money, and add some useful apps like News & weather (or what its name was in the previous Android version, GenieWidget.apk), which I could not install.

Is rooting necessary to do these ? Is it so dangerous and problematic ?

I have the chinese ZeniThink C91 Upgrade tablet, which I got rooted, so it was easy to remove and install even system applications, making backups (which were necessary, since it could not restore user data some times).

Good luck !

hi,

for install APK it's only necessary change "allow to install application out of market" (or similar) in the preferences. (if the APK don't require root)..

for remove system apps (i thing) unfortunatly is impossible whitout.root.... right????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zoló1981:

Thanks, I allowed it to install out of market apps, but my old GenieWidget cannot be installed. Maybe a different/newer one from here in the forum.

impossible to re-root

Hello everyone.

Pardon my english!

Here's my problem : I've got the a1-810 16Gb and previously rooted it - easily - with this tool some weeks ago ( RV03RC08 ).

I've made the update ( RV18RC07 ) in order to re-root it with the system.img.gz with /system RW workaround.

Problem is that the tool recognize my device via adb ( it shows me the List of devices attached ) but then i've always got an "E: Couldn't connect to your Acer Iconia A1-810 over adb"... also try on linux but then i've got an error with sudo can't find or execute "bin/posix/64/adb" or whatever.

what is the matter?? Did I do something wrong??

Thanx for the help ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] boqs:
Sorry, forgot to say: I have a B1-A71.

I can start a linux-livecd from USB-stick and use that to root it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
No it won't use "dd" command if you stop at the ciritical point i stated. it asks you for a confirmation. you will just have to enter Q or CTRL+C.

Upon this point absolutely nothing is changed in your device. And the chance that my toolkit works for device is pretty high i guess.

It's really not that risky.

But it's of course your decision.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
yes.

no.

yes.

no.

no, the way the Acer Iconia is rooted, is a very risky one. That's because the device is very limited in its access (locked bootloader). If someone would unlock the bootloader, the rooting progress could be designed more secure. like we know it from other devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
do you have latest version?

are drivers properly installed?

did you start toolkit as administrator?

could you please open cmd shell as administrator, navigate to C:\path\to\toolkit\bin\nt\-your-architecture-\ and do a 'adb.exe devices' and post the output here?

have you started the linux version from the directory where the toolkit.sh is placed or from another directory?

yes.

It doesn't matter loosing root access.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
unroot by flashing the stock system image for your firmware version.

do it like this:

put stock system.img.gz into system_image folder as if it were a rooted one.

start toolkit and say root, as if you wanted to root.

when it finished, reboot and try the system update again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muvensa:
thank you, it works :) You're the best :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I guess unroot for the A1-810 doesn't work because there are no RW permissions for /system.

because all I'm doing in unroot process is:

mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/bin/su
mount -o ro,remount /system

but as the mount doesn't work, this is useless for A1 owners.

I must look for a solution

Hi,

I was on RV03RC08 (with root access ) , then i unroot with RV03RC08 stock image.

Which image i need to flash for RV18RC07 ?

RV18RC07:

Acer Firmware Update or system.img.gz ( from 1st. post )??

@ need to make factory reset before update to newest version?

thanks in advance..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
You have 2 choices:

Stay on RV03RC08, then you must take the image for RV03RC08

Update to RV18RC07, then you must take... suprise, suprise: the image for RV18RC07
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jareee:
but which image ... Acer Firmware Update or system.img.gz ?? i don't know what is different between these two images...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Ok, to reduce confusion at least for a bit, i released a v0.6.3.

Unroot feature is now disabled for A1-810. Why? because it doesn't work without RW permissions for /system.

I need to find a solution here.

Also i fixed the URL to driver download which still was for B1-A71.

Have fun and keep reporting.

Thanks!

v0.6.3

======

- A1-810: Fixed wrong driver URL

- A1-810: Disabled Unroot feature, as it doesn't work because of missing RW rights for /system

- minor bugfixes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
acer firmware update is the update from version x to y.

system.img.gz is an image of the stock /system partition with a tiny difference: it has the mighty su binary in /system/bin which allows us to have root access.

you need the system.img.gz to root.

in your case, you need the system.img.gz i would say.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Look carefully...

the good syntax is :

mount -o rw,remount /system /system/

not

mount -o rw,remount /system /system

Thats why A1 owners need a wrapper (my script or something doing the same) to add the last slash (/)

:)

you can modify your python script then :) You have the solution :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
This doesn't make a difference.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
As a linux coder/user I said the same thing but please trust me... how do you think the wrapper works ?

Should I make a video to make you sure of that ?

edit:

root@android:/ #

root@android:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system /system

mount -o rw,remount /system /system

root@android:/ #

Edit: screwed output.. sorry look bottom for screenshot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
1. what is "the wrapper"?

2. why does unroot work for B1-A71 then?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
A1-810 is 4.2.2 Android with new features from Google
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
has nothing to do with the adb binary and how it works.

i don't get what you want me to show with this also:

what is the difference in the output?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
have a look on the screenshot, please
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Dude...

What is /system/bin/toolbox ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
a kind of busybox but... for android... it is installed by default by google

mount is a link to toolbox

on my device, mount is a, executable I made for myself... I cannot call it

then, as mount is just a link to toolbox I called toolbox in my example

You have the same on your B1-A71 tablet

I hope Im clear :-/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
could you try the same without /system/bin/toolbox ?

take the mount command directly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Wasn't the previous version also 4.1.2??

Are you getting a bootloop after rooting?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wide_n:
yes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Then you probably haven't updated to latest version before applying root.

Download latest firmware from Acer website. extact it. Go to recovery and apply update from sd card. then boot the tablet and apply updates, until you're on RV05RC05. Then try again.

Iconia B1 rooting - new firmware effect

Hi all,

real great job from etonjackson and other guys supporting the project with their suggestions and feedbacks.

I have rooted my B1 with firmware ...RC05.

I have a question:

If with rooted device I now update to new firmware version .. RC06 (using Acer original file and their recovery procedure) the rooting ii will be kept or shall I need to repeat the easy_rooting procedure using the rooted ..RC06 image ?

BTW ..RC06 rooted image is actually impossibile to download from dropbox location due to 509 error message

thank you

Paolo
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
the new version can be updated without losing root. I know that Dropbox link is no more working but I'm not at home and cannot upload mine. so If you cant wait. download update from acer Website and just update over recovery. root won't be lost normally. and btw, you don't need to unzip the update from acer Website anymore...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nick_1964:
When I go to the acer site ( netherlands ) there is no download to version RC06 or I must be blind ( possible, I have to use glasses ), rooting went perfect but my device also says I am on the right firmware (it's RC05)... if u fix the dropbox, can I use the RC6 ( I don't even know how to come in recovery, i'm dyslectic :( )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bullbrand:
try this new link for the image file if it get hammered it will also likely get killed ok

uploading sytem.img.gz last one got corrupted sorry

im uploading the OS_Acer_Acer.AV051.B1-A71.RV05RC06.WW.GEN1_A41J_A.zip as it seems acer have now removed it from there support site

can i also ask for some of you to start mirroring these files as my space will get hit hard so please spread the load .

the OS_Acer_Acer.AV051.B1-A71.RV05RC06.WW.GEN1_A41J_A.zip is in 1st post

i never got the RV05RC06 as an OTA upgrade it had to be dloaded from acer .

dload it and put it on sdcard then power off , hold vol up and power you will see the recovery menu select upgrade from sdcard after its upgraded then use the Iconia root tool . dont forget to dload the system.img.gz as per the root tool instructions.

Dont mix and match images with differnt root system image or you will end up in trouble probly with a boot loop issue (currently fixable ok)
