This link doesn't have any firmware links, (after following the moved link)? I have been looking for the B1-A71 firmware as well to try this. (Although I still have the problem of the USB driver with windows 7/Ubuntu etc).

Hi Nika, thanks for this. I wasn't specifically intending my own firmware, I was talking about the link in general as it supplies none.

Cheers,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:

After installing the latest 1.023.00 firmware for my A3-A20FHD from zip file, Kingo Root is able to root the tablet again. The only thing I can think off is the previous root from the 1.0.20.00 firmware messed with the OTA update. Anyway all is good again... By the way, using Kingo Root 1.3.3.

Added 0.9.3 version to github:

v0.9.3

======

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Hi konsolen,

Do you have more info on how you enabled Xposed? I can't get it to work in KK. And do you still have this system.img somewhere? The link is dead...

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Hi all,

Here's a system.img.gz for people that cannot root from scratch using Ubuntu.

Attention: no mount system r/w so only rooted action not modifying system are supported.

Tried the Toolkit method to root.

First attempt got to R...O...O...T then gave an IOerror after that.

I then tried again and got the final completed message this time after the R...O etc stuff saying it was rooted. I am still NOT rooted though?

Any ideas?

Malk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
Did you restart the tablet after the ROOT message? You need to manually reboot. And it should have root then. If not, please let me know what choices you made (SuperSU or superuser, etc.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] malkthealk:
Hi, I did reboot, but I also closed down the program first, is this correct?

After reboot I tried superuser which didn't work (plus rootchecker says not rooted) After that I tried installing SuperSu with the same result?

Malk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
Hi Malk,

Yes, you can close down the program and reboot, that's fine. What I meant with SuperSU and superuser is which you choose in the script. Did you do root from scratch or use an image? And if root from scratch, which options did you choose?

Regards,

Nika.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] malkthealk:
Hi Nika, as I said, I ran the program initially. I got the completed root message on one line, but below that came an IOerror?

I left it a while to confirm it wasn't doing anything more and closed it down. I then rebooted, downloaded superuser which gave me an empty log file (no other options)! I also checked with rootchecker and it said I wasn't rooted.

I then tried the program again, this time after the root message, I got the full complete text saying it was successful and was now rooted. I closed the software on the PC, unplugged the USB cable and rebooted again. Rootchecker still said I wasn't rooted. I downloaded SuperSu and still no options were available, so it would appear the tab is definitely not rooted?

That's where I am at the moment.

Malk

EDIT: I meant to say that the phone appeared rooted when I got it, before I stupidly tried to change something in build.prop. After that, I was locked out of it, but managed to get it back working using Firediamond's 'cure'. I am happy that it is working perfectly again, but would like it rooted to swap apps to SD. I am quite sure the system image was the suggested rooted one when I went through the process in this thread!

I have a A1-810 and for some reason when I run this it just sits at the Modem Reset Delay? It puts 1234 and than sits on the screen and the program closes. Can you please assist? Its been on this screen for 10 min?

Any Ideas. I just want Root thats it.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

I rebooted the tablet and now its sitting at RUN COMMAND.... Nothing happens. Blinking curser and nothing gets typed in. I have rooted many devices and this is just weird. should I try a different cable? Please advise

**EDIT** Can you repost the rooted system image for A1-810? It says its not longer found. I was able to get this going if I just wait. But it fails because I don't have the system image in the folder. I am pulling my own image from the device now but I do not know how thats going to work with out being pre rooted. Please advise.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] malkthealk:
Hi again Nika, I have been going over this and over this again and I think I may have found one omission I may have made in the process?

Following Firediamond's nice tutorial I believe I may have booted the tablet into Android as normal after completion? I just noticed at the bottom that it states "boot into recovery" which I don't think I did? Would this affect the end results? If you think this is possible, I shall go through this process tonight again when I get home (correctly this time)!

I will update this thread with my results.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
Hi Malk,

Sorry, I was away on holiday for a week so no time yet to respond. As stated in previous responses I will need to know what choices you made while doing the root process. So:

1. You start Ubuntu

2. You start .toolkit.py

3. You choose 3 for B1-A71

4. You choose 1 for Root

5. You choose 1 for Root from Scratch

6. You choose 2 for SuperSU

7. You choose Y for Make SDCard Writable

7. You choose Y for Doing it all at once

8. Then you see on screen of the Tab it runs the telnet daemon

9. You see R...O....O....T eventually

10. You reboot

After this you should have root access. If not, please let me know what you did differently in the above steps :)

It sounds like it's choosing the wrong buttons to press. Can you send me a screenshot of that screen? Also, what ROM version do you have? Which of the system images are you looking for? I don't think a repository exists for the img's uploaded by others, so I'm afraid you need to ask other owners to post their system img's whenever they root their device...

I can get you the build.prop from all of the SD update files of many acer devices. Let me know which ones you want (A1-811 with KK, S1 / S510 with KK, etc.).

In the code I see it checks whether you have KK or JB and only the JB was added to the check:

elif "Acer_AV052_A3-A10_" in l:/
fw_version = l.split("Acer_AV052_A3-A10_")[1].split("_WW_GEN1")[0]

Just to make sure, what system.img did you select to upload to your device? Does a KK file exist and if it does, it should have RV05RC03 otherwise you may encounter bootloops. I can add a line in the code to fix the above issue but I really need to be sure of your selected system.img first :). From the first post I seem to see nobody has yet rooted from scratch and only a stock system image is available. Which means you need to either root from scratch using ubuntu, or check whether the thread from FireDiamond (nowadays Shreps) has an SPFT method for installing CWM and then rooting the device...

You should either use CWM methods, or use the Toolkit. Not both. The CWM method might have also changed your system.img if you chose a full ROM? Strange, because it should only touch secuoff, bootloader and recovery blocks. Or did you flash a full ROM for recovery? In that case it overwrites the system.img with the stock image...

Which device?

Very good. Make sure to let people know which thread you used and which steps you took :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] malkthealk:
Hi Nika, I was doing it from Windows 7 so had no option to root from scratch, I also had no SuperSu option on my menu's.

Has this been updated for Windows?

I am rooted now but used Kingoroot. Not too happy as I have read that it does add in some stuff it shouldn't?

I there is an update can I have a link to it, plus can I unroot this and do it the correct way?

BTW, I hope the holiday was good? :) Would love one myself.

Malk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
Sorry Malk, no root from scratch on Windows. That will not be possible because it's not possible to mount system.img in Windows using command line. Not sure about Kingoroot - didn't work on the A1-811 for me... can;t help with that. I'm afraid the only way is to:

* root from scratch using ubuntu

* root using prerooted system.img from someone else that rooted the same version as you have from scratch

* look to see whether the Acer Iconia thread has a method to unlock your rom
