i don't own an A1 so...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
New version. Enjoy.

- New: Supporting A3-A10
[Miscellaneous Android Development] malaquita:
Hi, i have a a1-810, i need system app because unintentionally i deleled it and now i can't update by ota.

Please somebody could uploading it.

thanks.

PD: Sorry for my english
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
Please be more specific...

What firmware version are you on?

Exactly which apk do you need?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Hi anton,

Thanks.

is there any chance that this new version will solve the root from scratch for the a1 810 updated to the latest firmware?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] malaquita:
Rv18rc07 firmware.

theapps fdupdater.apk and wupdateservice.apk but a zip with all system app will be great.

Thanks

Hi,

sorry but the Swap External <-> Internal SD for the B1-710 does not work.

I do not know why but other in this forum with B1-710 have the same problem...

Do you know any solution?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
As I still don't know what the bug is, no. Sorry.

Are there any error messages?

I only use the swap files that somebody once provided me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Yes,

I have posted here that the screenshot of the root from scratch whit few error of "not enough space"

The tablet has been resetted before.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
i fixed that, as someone confirmed.

have you tried flashing a stock system.img.gz?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
I'm on a newer version of the ROM than you so I can't provide you with what you need. You will need to ask around and find someone with the same firmware version.

I'll put the two apk's you need on my public drop box. https://db.tt/mTVa92um

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Also, instead of using the internalexternal swap script in this tool, you could use Mounts2SD from the play store. I believe it is created by a fellow xda developer and works great on our devices. You just need a fast microsd card with the correct partitions.

If this has helped you, click thanks. I promise it won't hurt :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Hello,

this is my second A1-810, the first was blocked by a system.img (rooted) in a bootloop.

The last time I tried instead the root from scratch, it gave me that error of insufficient space.

You say that I have to try again now?

but if I put the stock firmware is not rooted .. right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
is your current tab stock or did you already try to root from scratch with an older version than 0.7.8?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
I tried before whit the old tablet the version 0.7.8. Before whit root from scratch and the error of not enough space and after, always whit the 0.7.8, whit the weindows method and a rooted image but it goes into bootloop.

Now i have another but 16gb version.

I haven't tried the new version whit linux....there is a possibility that works?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
root from scratch hasn't changed between 0.7.8 and 0.8.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
and then I think I would restore the error of insufficient space ... I though I reset the tablet before the procedure ... so I can not explain this error will mean that ... I wait .. thanks anyway

Hi everyone at XDA

This is my first time rooting, and i got Iconia a1-810 RV27RC03_WW_GEN1

I used Toolkit v0.8.0 and it completes but when i check the root with Root Checker from play store, it says that its not rooted.

Also when i install Superuser / SuperSu i get errors when i open them.

please help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
exactly the same problem and the same tablet ... and also the same firmware!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
which method did you use?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pythondeveloper:
Root for Acer A3

I am sorry but where I find root option to my Acer A3?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Right in the main menu when you start toolkit v0.8.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pythondeveloper:
Without Rooted ROM?

I dont need flashing ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
No. But you need to root it from Linux, because there's no system.img.gz yet
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pythondeveloper:
Please give me instructions

I have just XP. But if requied I install linux just please give me more info how can I do. The toolkit works in Linux?

Root

Hi,

you can use Framaroot:

https://db.tt/9RKFymFt

Download, install ...and you have root.

Hart´l

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Hi,

i need a original system.img.gz for A3-A10.

Can anyone upload it please?

Thank´s

Hart´l
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
This is easy with v0.8.0 ;)

yes.

Seems so. in /etc there are vold.fstab and vold.fstab.nand. in those files informations must be changed to achieve swap.

This is done with my toolkit. Possible that it's done wrong. I think i got the information from some B1-710 owner, who said it worked for him.

If anyone can provide me the proper information I will change it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hart´l:
system.img.gz

But my device is rootet.

So when i push down my system.img.gz it´s not original isn´t it?

Hart´l
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hart´l:
Root?

Hi,

i rooted my device with Framaroot.

SU says i have root.

With ES-Explorer i have root and can deinstall Device-Aps.

But when i run StartMeUp.sh from StarterKit the Scriptmanager

tell me i don´t have root?!

Thank´s

Hart´l

O.K.

I haven´t give root to the Scriptmanager.:angel:

Now it´s O.K.:laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
Hi,

i tried the "swap internal & external SD" and "odex" after factory reset again. But it is never worked for my B1-710

And if i want to "pull system.img.gz from Tablet" it does not work, too.

I charge my B1-710 and will check it again because the battery is to low...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
yeah fine. "It doesn't work" really helps me a lot...

Important:

This Thread will be soon moved to Miscellaneous Android Development.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
oh. Yes sorry.

I forgot to attach the log files.

Here are each of the log files.

You can see it, where is the problem?

-at the swap internal & external me no error message was displayed. but it has also not changed in the system.

-the odex and system.img.gz error messages were displayed and can be found in the doc files.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
As you have no root, you cannot odex or swap partitions... this is easy.

And you cannot root because of this error message:

E: The line 'android 0x0000000015e00000 0x00000000020e8000 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
Hi,

i have rooted my B1-710 with toolkit v 0.7.8

Root Explorer and titanium backup have root.

Now i updatet superuser and the same problems as before...

There must be a other problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I found the problem. at least for pull system.img.gz ...

i uploaded a new version of v0.8.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
Yes now the export for system.img.gz works :)

I have done it after factory reset...

anyone need it? ;)

The swap internal & external does not work for my B1-710 :-/

There is no error message...

odex stopped again on same error...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
yes. upload it. it's always need by someone. pick uptobox as filehoster for example.

the error message for odexing says that you have root, but root without R/W permissions on /system partition.

does titanium backup work properly?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kleinhirn:
ok upload is on the way....

yes titanium backup works fine. I can backup and restore. I used it for backup before factory reset and restore the apps after creating the clean system.img.gz

and with root explorer i can R/W files in "system" and "etc" without any problem...

it theems root is ok...but i do not know why "odex" and "swap internal & external" did not work...

on other devices the swap works easy and without problems...

I did a Swap SD Internal/External for the 1st time WITHOUT having a MicroSD inside. Now, no matter how I try (I used a card, backed up) I'm stuck with having the ex-internal SD (NAND) as external. What can I do? Reset from settings (Back-up and Reset) didnt help either (MicroSD still internal).

Acer B1-A71

EDIT: I did it by applying an update zip (via recovery) and partition table was reset to default (mind that by just Wiping partition table, I couldn't do it). Not optimal but...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
swapping back should work.

Hi ALL

how to root RV27RC03_WW_GEN1 for A1-810 ; ... becuase i didn't find root image for this version, only stock

thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Whit a1 810 framaroot have partial success and require local.prop trock but i don understand what it mean

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

For now the toolkit don't give root to A1 810.

I have tested root from scratch and before also windows method but it give my tablet bricked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
Root from scratch ( the hard way :) ):

You can always root one of these mtk based devices due to the fact we have access to the engineer mode...

I'm not going to give exact commands as 1. I can't be bothered ATM and 2. Why don't you try to learn...

You need to access the MTK Engineer menu (ask Google) and start a telnet session (with busybox you previously pushed via adb (also, go ask Google)). This gives you access to the files you need.

What you need to do to create a system (Android) partition image is use dd to read from the raw emmc (/dev/block/mmcblk0) device (See /process/dumchar_info for partition size and location) . Then on a Linux based machine, mount said image, copy su binary and busybox into permanent locations. This is your rooted stock(ish) image.

To apply, use dd in reverse (if you don't know by now, give up).

Anton has done a great job of writing this tool, but really people, try not to be tools yourselves. The process of rooting these devices, although long, drawn out and tiresome, isn't too hard. So take the time to learn. Every day is a school day...

NOTE: You CAN receive official updated when rooted. Use hide my root from play store then check for update.

Also, anyone bricked their devices? Pm me and I'll try and help. Your device may be accessible via a special mtk device mode known as META-MODE, for which you require mtk software to enter. (Either that or a simple USB mode switch, haven't checked yet.)

Soon, I hope to have the bootloader unlocked so issues like ours can be overcome with our own recoveries and backups. Install custom ROMs and kernels and generally do what we want with the devices we bought and own.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
But this won't work for the latest A1-810 firmware as well, as this is nothing different than what my tool does...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
I know, however, if people don't try it with the base method, how will anyone know why it isn't working???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
It's easier to blame my tool, of course ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
Maybe it's time to try and use META-MODE...

And yeah, that's my point exactly, the lazy people here will just blame your tool, provide no feedback and just expect you to magically fix the problem...

I believe, META-MODE will allow us to read/write to mmcblk0.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aldolo:
well, kieranfoot. you are right. the teory is soo simple , BUT reality is soooo much more complex.... not every one are able to solve the little difference in configuration from one pc to the other. so i'm going to wait a little more to be safe not to break my costly (for me) gadget. I miss the old good DOS days.... you could not go wrong with. DOS boot disk!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Hi there,

every time I used this toolkit have given detailed accounts of what was happening. even with the latest firmware and with mistakes I had.

I even had the tablet stuck after trying the procedure windows ... after trying the linux without success. What can I do to help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
All of you can root your tablets with a little effort, it is detailed in post 1843.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Just little little....:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Would be interesting if it works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
I do not think being able to do that procedure..i'm not proficient with linux EVEN IF I ALREADY INSTALLED 10.04 x86 ... I do not know where to start ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Then, if i were you, i would ask other A1-810 owners if and how they managed to get root
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
It's a good idea... :)

Maybe you can solve a1 810 problem whit a simple procedure...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
Sure you can! Boot Ubuntu and fire-up the browser, come here and download the toolkit. Double click on the file after it's downloaded and unpack it to the same folder. After that, open a terminal window (CRTL+ALT+T) then type the commands in the readme.txt one by one. That should start the toolkit. If you don't get it started come back and ask.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] simoneser:
Can't root. This is the debug error. How to solve?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
So, something wrong with telnet... Maybe a busybox issue Anton?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
telnet server is not started on the tablet.

do a reboot and try again. if it still doesn't work, try starting telnet manually.

EDIT: btw, enable AOSP or Google Keyboard instead of SwiftKey. It doesn't work with Swiftkey turned on as default keyboard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] memberfive:
Try remove SD, SIM card, turn off WiFi, turn on Airplan mode and then run script again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] simoneser:
Tried to remove everything, tried to use AOSP keyboard instead of Swiftkey, but still the same problem.

What's wrong? How do I start telnet manually? Than what I have to do ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] memberfive:
Hi. I got root, but with some issues. Root Explorer remount /system to rw correctly, and i can change add and delet system files. But Xposed can't be installed (error writing on /system ). Titanium Backup works, but can't integrate updates of system apk. Freedom can't work - same problem to write some files on /system. Busybox installed. What can i do to fix this ? Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] simoneser:
Solved my error simply pressing "Run" on the tablet before the operation starts. Now rooted, but facing this problem:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fREAST:
The reason why xposed doesn't work is because it uses its own bundled busybox, but we need to use the busybox that we installed when we rooted because it has the wrapper script to mount system RW.

I have modified the apk to work on the A1-810, you can get it here.

Confuses me very much... what img version do I have to take soon... maybe my new ordered has another version ;) what is acer doing... it doesn't accept an upgrade to RV05RC05 because that gives the partition error, but maybe RV04RC04 is newer then RV05RC05 ?
