ok,

let's see if I understood everything. I'm going to do the root to my A1-810 8GB.

I downloaded the toolkit 0.7.2 of Jackson, and I'm downloading the system.img with the "RW WORKAROUND" of Sodafr. I have already enabled the "USB debugging".

When I have finished my tablet will connect to my pc with windows 7 64 bit and I will start normally ... the toolkit, and then I will start by inserting the system.img of sodafr, I will begin the procedure by following the steps in the toolkit go.

eventually I'll have to install SUPERSU (not superuser) and I'll have to check the root with an application such as "lucky Patcher".

I do something wrong? I'll have to remove the miniSD during the procedure?

or you can download this file: http :// www . multiupload . nl /KE8QZ97Z3M

that all files we need from sodaFR's image.

if you need the TWN's image, you can get it from my blog (there's more detail information, written by Traditional Chinese):

TKS for your root method, I had downloaded the sodsFR's image yesterday. Also got my A1 rooted successfully yesterday.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] soncarl:
I'm looking forward to a CWM Recovery :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] twu2:
the OTA Root Keeper is not work for sodsFR's RW workaround (remount /system rw, can't use mount directly)

here is my modified version, this will work for rooted A1 with sodsFR's RW workaround:

http :// www . multiupload . nl /WLKYQNNJXC
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
With this method you won't be able to easily update the su binary.

I tried Root Keeper (or maybe another) and it worked for me. After all, it is just a chattr command.

I'm confused. Will check that after work :)

Edit: Be careful with the next updates. Acer will probably add 4.3 security features (from Google) that will cancel SUID flag for every unallowed binary. Known methods to keep su are now considerated obsolte. Wait for feedbacks before updating :)

Edit2: I just checked fast for both OTA Root Keeper (from Google Play) and the one provided by twu2

He is right, the one from Market has his own busybox binary then it bypass the wrapper. Good job twu2 :) Adn thank you. I tried another app then :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
That's assuming they bother to update to 4.3, the other mediatek iconia tabs are still on 4.1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
no need to update to 4.3 to apply these patches. Sony Ericsson (now Sony) did that with X10. And probably other :)

That's why I recommend to not update too fast. Wait for feedbacks (it is wise) :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I don't care about android versions higher than 4.1.x. There is not much new. They keep the amount of new features low, so manufacturers can catch up with Nexus devices.

Key Lime Pie will be the next big thing.

Acer Iconia A1-810 stuck in infinite reboot loop

I tried to root my tablet using [ToolKit] Acer Iconia v0.7.2 ***New: Swap Internal 2 External SD for A1-810***

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240029

it went well then i went to reboot then it kept rebooting every few seconds there i couldnt get out of it

so i went into recovery mode and did factory recovery and it still reboots.

There is no firmware image on the acer website so im stuck now

if anyone could help that would be appreciated or

if someone could dump a firmware image for all of the people having similar problems
[Miscellaneous Android Development] psychoticpsychiatrist:
I am having some trouble with rooting my B1-710.

So far I've tried:

Rooting from scratch in Linux

Rooting with the system.img.gz provided in first post in both Windows and Linux

The toolkit used is 0.7.2. I get the succesful message in console (that says everything is complete), but when i reboot, root checker does not say I have root priviliges. The tablet starts up, fine and no bootloop what so ever. Should I go back to a previous toolkit and try again or give you some logs and what-not?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Have you installed Superuser?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Av052_a1-810_rv18rc10_pa_ca (root+rw)

Hi folks,

for A1-810 bought in Canada only

AV052_A1-810_RV18RC10_PA_CA

pre-installed :

- busybox (in /system/xbin) with all simlinks;

- Titanium Backup v6.0.5

- SuperSU (v1.44)

That image is prerooted with RW workaround

As usual, do not install another busybox

You can update Titanium Backup and SuperSU

To have Titanium Backup working, you must go in the preferences to force the use of system's busybox.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] psychoticpsychiatrist:
I tried with SuperSU, which didn't kicked in, installed Superuser and now it works. I am baffled. Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
hello to all,

I have a problem.

I was beginning the procedure root, I removed the SD card and reset the system before opening the toolkit, but I can not find in the settings marked "Enable USB debugging" ... possible? there should be a menu option called developer or something like that? there is no ...

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

7 times you had to click on build number .... what strange!

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

ok, the procedure had a moment's hesitation at the very moment in which he asked me to press enter to write the system.bin ... I pressed enter multiple times but in the end came out the word ROOT punctuated by dots :)

supersu is preinstalled in its free version with titanium backup and emi asked the privileges to update the system and titanium ... for now everything seems to be going well ... I have to do other steps? I read that I had to enable busybox as a sysadmin?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
why titanium backup (free version preinstalled in system by SODAFR) don't uninstall applications that are preinstalled in any way? I tried to uninstall mcafee but I did not succeed in any way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Everything is less or more explained in the first post. look at "extra config" . It is a link you should have read before doing something.

Anyway, I answered your PM. You were talking about bad signature of the 6.0.5.1 TB apk you tried to install. That probably means you have a pirated version of TB. And then I cannot help you. Buy a licence and you will be able to update without any problem (like me)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Thank You SODAFR,

you have been so very kind.

unfortunately I do not really lot of money and not even a card with which to pay the app. that's why I asked. but you have been more than kind.

thanks

I mistakenly deleted contacts.apk from system app of my acer b1-a71 and I did all that's from this forum: http://androidforums.com/android-ap...led-installation-system-app-contacts-apk.html but nothing is working to get it back...

Or I guess it useless to have contacts.apk and contacts provider.apk, as I checked with dialer app the #*#* code is still working for root, etc... I was thinking that mistakenly removing it might cause problem on this(root process) for future root .... guess that's not the case ..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maxniper:
Hi,

I have used v0.7.2 to swap internal 2 external SD but wen finish I see only internal and SD disappears and if I swap again back everything is as default without swap. Can it be because of the SD card? The SD card is class 6 can be that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jenwhay:
thank you entonjackson,

I have one device B1-A71,

And it was rebooting to "Android system recovery <3e>" after I updated RV04RC04: system.img.gz

I try wipe data/factory and wipe cache, but it just not normal booting.:rolleyes:

How can i do? please.:confused:

Thank you very much
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
have you done a reboot after swapping? changes are not applied on the fly.

apply acer firmware v05 from recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maxniper:
Yes I have done a reboot, I will do it again as soon as I'm at home, thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shantusingh:
hey enton can u just tell me or someone , when do we use to get battery low message on acer b1-a71, I actually did a reboot from romtoolbox n it played with the battery stats percentage ..... so the low battery beep use to come at 14% or 10% ???

and is it ok as I deleted contacts.apk and contacts provider.apk from system apps ???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
i don't know the battery level for that warning. maybe 5% ? 10%? don't know.

i wouldn't delete those apps, but i don't know if it's dangerous or not...

Thanks

I just wanted to thank you because, well, it works just as it should. I followed the instructions with Toolkit 0.72, and five minutes after, I have a rooted device. Simple, clever, efficient. Obviously I gave you a "Thank You" in your first post.

Model: Acer A1-810 with image RV18RC07_WW_GEN1.

Thank you, and thanks for every people that helped for this toolkit.

A1-810 wont stay on long enough to re-root

rooted my a1-810 earlier today, said it had worked fine, restarted my tablet and got into a boot loop

went into the recovery menu and selected toclear data, did that but still in boot loop.

the tablet loads up for about 11 seconds now but then restarts itself. i have managed to switch developer mode back on and ive also managed to enable usb debugging again, however the tablet wont stay on long enough to root it to the stock firmware listed on page one.

I believe theres a way of doing it via the external sd card however it wont read anything i put in.

any clues? or is it game over?

rooted with RV03RC08

No Tutorial?

Wanna do it but want a tutorial!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
you know?

I have the impression that despite the total commitment of some people, it is sometimes difficult to find information on issues that should be discounted even though, they are still essential to avoid common mistakes or of a type normally.

An example of this situation (not talking about this specific thread) may be the lack of a step by step procedure for the root, although in the first pages there are also most important information is missing this trivial thing. I try to make one myself, the procedure rooot carried out with the end successfully on my A1-810 8GB on a Windows 7 64-bit.

-download the "system.img.rz RW" and the toolkit

-Install the latest USB drivers on your tablet windows

-make sure you have at least a system clean and free from crash

-remove the micro sd card (if you have one inserted) and charge up the battery of the tablet

-turn on the device and perform a hard reset, and restart only enter the necessary information.

- Go into the settings of the tablet and then in the Information menu and press 7 times on "kernel" you will see a message like "now you're a developer"

- Then enable the "USB debugging" and "enable installations from unknown sources" from a new menu that will appear in the menu and the other security

- Connect your tablet to your computer and make sure you have the cable plugged in and not to disconnect the operation surante

- Unzip the toolkit in a folder (eg c :) and copy the system.img.rz RW in the appropriate folder of the toolkit

- Start the toolkit and follow the procedure being very patient and without disconnecting the tablet from the computer for any reason.

at the end (after the root and restart the tablet and the tablet updated all applications), you can install the free "clean master" to replace the free version of titanium backup SODAFR and remove all applications (such as mcafee) that give only annoyance and that could previously only be disabled.

Maybe I forgot something. however, the strangest thing is lìabilitazione menu developer. to ask me for anything. Meanwhile, I continue to thank the creator of the toolkit and also sodafr for their help!

Hi folks,

last week i have tried to root my Acer iconia A1 tablet. I had a firmware version RV18RC07, and i have tried to root with system image to RV03RC08 :crying: . Off course i had a bootloop. I have downloaded the firmware update, but I was not able to install it, because some error. Then I made a factory data reset, and my device booted correctly. Now if I check my firmware version I have RV03RC08_WW_Gen1. My device is not rooted, I checked it with root checker. When try to make a system update from my settings menu, I get an error message: This system update is not allowed on your device. Please call the servis center for help.

Should I try to root once again my device? If yes do I need the image file for ver. RV03RC08?

Thank you for your answer.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] twu2:
I found the method to let it work (not modified version, and also for others...)

1. create a folder /system/xbin/.mount_wrapper/

2. create soft link named 'mount' point to ../busybox in such folder, like this:

shell@android:/system/xbin/.mount_wrapper # ls -la
ls -la
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-07-30 10:09 mount -> ../busybox

3. rename /system/xbin/mount to /system/xbin/mount.old (or just delete it)

4. rename /system/bin/mount to /system/bin/mount.old (or just delete it)

5. create soft link name 'mount' point to /system/bin/wrapper.sh in /system/bin/ and /system/xbin/ like this:

shell@android:/system/xbin # ls -la mount
ls -la mount
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-07-30 10:09 mount -> ../bin/wrapper.sh
shell@android:/system/xbin # cd ../bin
cd ../bin
shell@android:/system/bin # ls -la mount
ls -la mount
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-07-30 10:01 mount -> wrapper.sh

6. modify wrapper.sh like this:

#!/system/bin/sh

CMD=`basename $0`
ARG="$*"
NEWARG="-o remount,rw /system /system/"
LArg=$(eval echo \$$#)

case "$CMD" in
"busybox")
if [ $1 == "mount" ] && [ $2 == "-o" ] && ([ $3 == "rw,remount" ] || [ $3 == "remount,rw" ]); then
if [ $LArg == "/system" ] || [ $LArg == "/system/" ]; then
/system/xbin/.mount_wrapper/mount $NEWARG
# return $?
return 0
fi
fi
/system/xbin/busybox $ARG
# return $?
return 0
;;

"mount")
if [ $1 == "-o" ] && ([ $2 == "rw,remount" ] || [ $2 == "remount,rw" ]); then
if [ $LArg == "/system" ] || [ $LArg == "/system/" ]; then
/system/xbin/.mount_wrapper/mount $NEWARG
# return $?
return 0
fi
fi
/system/bin/toolbox mount $ARG
# return $?
return 0
;;
esac

exit 0

after this, if some program want to execute /system/xbin/mount or /system/bin/mount, both of them will pass to wrapper.sh, them it will remount /system use the correct command, so it should work for all program who call /system/xbin/mount or /system/bin/mount to remount /system.

I've tested it with OTA RootKeeper and ES File Explorer, both of them work fine with this solution.
