Yes, search for some older firmware. It was not published on acer pages. There were links in that thread.

My story: Upgraded using newest acer image and their instructions. Unable to root, telentd not starting as root. Then flash older firmware, same method. It proposed upgrade to RV02RC20.

Then I used tool to upload my image. (created by root from scratch with some improvements)

Thus after some time I returned to starting point. With a small bit of knowledge.

If You are unable to locate firmware PM me and I'll check it on box I downloaded it.

Sorry but for the moment I can not change the system image link but if someone wants to create a mirror can do it.

I have a problem with my tablet, I accidentally deleted the files in / etc and now my tablet goes into bootloop on the first acer's logo, has no connection in meta mode, no adb available, is only available recovery. Any ideas?

This is the stock and rooted system.img for B1-710. This is not drmad's image because I lost it.

I will be also uploading the stock and unrooted image.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
What's the firmware of the image ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hamza91:
RV04RC01
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
I can't extract it. Or may i need to remove the .rar ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hamza91:
What error are you having?

Try replacing .rar with .gz then extract it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
The img is about 1024 MB right ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hamza91:
Yes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
Okay it's fine. The superuser app is SuperSU or other. Because i think flashing it because i have a superuser chinese app and i can't remove it ><
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hamza91:
I cant understand you sorry? If you want a non-rooted image I am uploading that too. It will take 25 more minutes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
I ask you what's the superuser app you have in your image
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hamza91:
I use superUser from market.

P.S: There wont be any user sided app on the image. Its just a backup of system. Not the userdata but correct me if I am wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
It's should be fine. I will flash it. When i have the time. Thanks you Hamza

<bricked tab gone to warranty, now safe and sound>

Hello,

I sent my hard-bricked A1-810 to warranty, I got it back today and it works fine. They say they changed the motherboard. I think they actually did it because the MAC address has changed, and I don't think they only changed the wi-fi components ^^.

I learnt the following principle: NEVER try to fix something by your own without talking to specialists before, or you just mess up with things you don't understand.

I don't know whether I will root it again. Since Mediatek delivered the drivers for KitKat, I can hope that Acer would provide the update, so I don't want to have any complications with root and updates. I think I will leave it as is.

Thank you for all your advices, everyone =)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
Nice to know it bro. Enjoy your tab :)

[MENTION=2065265]yatto[/MENTION]

On the 810, rooting from scratch in linux is pretty save, the very worst that can happen is nothing! What's the fun in having an Android tab without rooting it!

You'll be back..LOL
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
If I have applied supercharger...can I disable those changes....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yatto:
I will certainly try to root from scratch, but after the 18 months-period during which Acer has to provide updates (I read somewhere that OEMs have to provide updates for their devices during 18 months after the release date). This day I will break my RAID 0, use one disk to install a Linux distro, and root from scratch. Or maybe I will sell my tab and buy a very locked device, that one I will not be able to tweak, and live in my golden prison (thinking about a PS Vita).

But, to be honest, I sure like having a rooted device. Titanium backup, Adfree. If one day I buy a smartphone (and it is unsure because I'm found of physical buttons, and there is no device with buttons nowadays especifically in Europe, where Motorla Droids never existed), I will root / CWM it (and maybe CM if available). But for the moment, i just want to enjoy a clean device that just works. And I stick with my good old SGH-F250.

How cana custom ROM work when we have a locked bootloader, unless this app unlocks it...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
This can be usefull to make a flashable zip of stock for people like drmad who brick his tablet

Ps: We're working on something atm about bootloader and other. Stay Tuned
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drmad:
flashabile zip for stock recovery? how can I? I saw that the executable unpacks stock recovery in a folder but not having adb working does not go forward
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
No this executable is installing CWM 6.0.4,4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
How does it do that? Have you tried it yourself? If yes, show a proof please
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
did you did a reboot yet? are you sure it will boot again? flashing recovery usually ends up with having a nice expensive brick.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
Yes i have a brick. But i still have my main B1-710 with all my data.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
I would say use meta mode, but you can't as the bootloader won't let you in due to the recovery failing its integrity checks, so please people, don't try cwm on these devices.

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

Abstrkt1337, if you get bored and want to fix your brick, all you need do is find the contacts on the motherboard for the gtag or the main serial port. Happy hunting.

prior to brick my tablet, I was trying to install cwm on /data or /system and start it with a script a bit like they do with xperia, and I think it could work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KieranFoot:
Drmad, NO it won't work. Until biotloader is unlocked you will brick. Its simple...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drmad:
But the script is loaded after bootloader check, i try and the the script load a Black screen but no brick, i Think my cwm no complete for my device cause Black screen. My brick due to accidental deleted file in etc and no to my test
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abstrkt1337:
But Stay Tuned. We may find a way to mod the stock rom. By modifying an system.img ( Deodex and Kk systemui )

Hi all, no i did not forget you ... (just so little time, and tons of work )

If any of you have an BRICKED B1-710 / A1-811 drop me a PM, and i'll send you the new bootloader (WIP).Unlocked and the instructions to flash it.

Since this is a bit dangerous, i just can't public post it !

It can hard-brick your device, so if your returning your device back to the store, drop me a PM, and test this Unlocked bootloader. (since you now have nothing to loose ... )

I bought my Iconia A3-A10 yesterday (my experience with the A100 has been great all these years and I wanted to repeat on a larger scale) and I'm not sure your Toolkit could be of use here.

The image version is AV052_A3-A10_RV01RV08_WW_GEN1, so I don't think any of the system.img.gz availables will be of any use. I hope I'm wrong, because I'm not eager to use the framaroot.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
You need to modify the Supercharger script (for A1-810 that is) to use the correct "mount" commands, for getting /system in rw-mode.

To put into rw-mode issue the following command:

mount -o remount,rw /system /system[B][COLOR="Red"]/[/COLOR][/B]

Afterwards put it into ro-mode with:

mount -o remount,ro /system /system[B][COLOR="Red"]/[/COLOR][/B]

There are a few locations in the Supercharger script where this mount is happening, both in the internal commands as well as the generated code.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Bart,

it should be one of the downloadable images, mentioned in the first post, with the same tablet name and version of firmware as yours (as found in the about tablet in the settings menu of your tablet). It should be placed in the system_image sub-folder of the extracted toolkit zip-set on your desktop (Windows I presume).

But you can make life much easier, by doing a root from scratch, from within Linux, booted from a live-DVD [i.e. no need to install Linux, just boot from the DVD]. This way it should not matter whether somebody has already uploaded your specific version of the image. The extracted toolkit-folder should be visible from Linux, if you put it into your "My Documents" area...

Veel succes!
