[Miscellaneous Android Development] Demonith:
Hi i just want to know because my tablet is RV05RC05 so how i can make it to be RV05RC06 and how to install ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
Custom ROMs should be possible in theory, there are plenty of devices with MT6517/MT8317 and Acer was kind enough to release the kernel sources (not sure about the ROM sources)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] @non4:
Anyone tried unlocking the BL? Via standard methods like fastboot OEM or reboot OEM unlock? We need some CM love :D

Sent from my rooted P880
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Demonith:
Yeah its a shame that we don't have CM i hope they will see this that this device is wary good for it and he waiting to put there hands on it to make CM for this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] @non4:
At least the stock ROM is vanilla android :D

If some one find a link or something post it ok :) i will try to get there attention of CM crow on there forum :) i WISH there will make something for our Acer Iconia B1 its rely awesome tablet i love it only to get it to 4.2.2 that will be grate
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smoosh27:
Ok, lets get deeper. You are able to get in the recovery, right? Choose SD Image update, then wipe Cache and data. Then reboot.

If this does not help - disconnect from USB, boot into recovery, choose Update from ADB, connect USB to PC (ADB device should appear on device Manager in Windows), run Toolbox as Administrator and re-flash the System.img.gz.

Please report your results here.[/QUOTE]

i updated it using adb but still same result installation aborted....

Hello Enton

I really appreciate your effort and your time spent on this project. I am an Iconia B1 user in Mainland China and my Chinese-spec device is actually a little bit different from yours. So I got some difficulties in following your instructions.

First, my firmware version is Acer_AV051_B1-A71_RV04RC05_GC_GEN1, and I have no play store, no google service framework, no google account settings, no gmail, no gmap, no talk, no chrome, no google now, etc. (Because Google is considered an illegal company by the Communist Party, all devices sold in Mainland China are not allowed to have any google services...Umm...)

Secondly there doesn't seems to be any OTA functions on this device. I can only stick to this weird RV04RC05 version. I didn't find any updates on Acer Chinese website as well.

I downloaded the RV05RC06 firmware (worldwide version), trying to flash it from SD card via stock recovery. But the device said: assert failed: get prop("ro.product.name")=="B1-A71_ww_gen1". I have also tried it with RV05RC05, failed once again.

Then I deleted the aforementioned code with Notepad++ from META-INF/COM/google/android/updater-script, flashed the rom again, and this time it said: Installation aborted.

That's all what I can do until now. I desperately want to bring back the missing play store, even if I might not be able to root it as last. Btw, I cannot find the stock RV04RC05 firmware, so I have worries about the bootloop because I don't know how to restore it if I get into the bootloop.

I am wondering if you can give me any advices or instructions. Thank you so much for reading my post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
try to root from scratch, using a Linux installation or live CD or vm. this could already work. then you have at least root.

new patch for iconia b1

download here : global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Patch/Patch/Patch_Acer_1.0_A41J_A.zip?acerid=635055650253051429&Step1=Tablet&Step2=ICONIA%20B&Step3=B1-A71&OS=a10&LC=ru&BC=Acer&SC=EMEA_8
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I put a link to the apk and a short guide to the 1st post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ptexas:
Hi Enton, I ran the patch as told i the instructions. I can't see any difference but I guess the partition error should no wbe gone. Am I now able to update my original firmware to a newer version or shall I wait until Acer sends the OTA update? And I guess after the update I will have to repeat the rooting procedure. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
Waiting until a prerooted image shows up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
You can do both. wait or install manually.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
Huh, wasn't expecting the fix to be distributed in .apk form
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Acer is always good for a suprise, where it's a good or a bad one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
Now I wonder how can this fix the partition error without superuser permissions, wouldn't it have to modify system files?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
this patch is not for rooted devices ( of course ).

I don't know what it actually does.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smoosh27:
can this apk file fix bootloop problems??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tofiq94:
If you have any problems or errors with updating to the new firmware (ota) install this patch, it'll fix this problem. And instruction is in zip archive.

...I don't know how to put link to the 1st post . if anyone know this do it

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

NO. it's only apk file inside zip. Bootloop is unrepairable now (sorry for my eng. I'm from soo far Azerbaijan)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
If you get the APK installed and running, it can be fixed :silly:

EDIT:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smoosh27:
so theres no fix in bootloop problems yet...how sad
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
have you tried this?!

Q: I'm stuck inside a bootloop after rooting!!!11

A1: The system.img.gz you applied, wasn't suiting to the firmware version installed on your tablet. Download latest Acer firmware update, copy it on a micro sd card, plug it into your Iconia, go to recovery by holding Volume up and Power button while device is turned off. Then choose apply update from sd card.

A2: If you cannot apply any Acer firmware, because you always get a partition error while installing, you should do a reboot after you get the error. A user reported that this made her/his device boot into Android again, showing the new version in settings -> info. Good luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smoosh27:
yup i already did that
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
if i were you, i would send the device to acer. it's free and careless.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ptexas:
Here's how it worked for me and my rooted B1 with faulty RV04RC04 firmware:

1. applied Acer patch for 'partition error', no changes visible, still rooted

2. updated ROM to RV05RC06 with update pack from posting #1, Device says RV05RC05 now, but lost root access

3. run Acer Tool from posting #1 with rooted system.img.gz RV05RC06 -> success!!

Now I have rooted RC05RV05 (or 06?) without partition error and wait hopefully for custom ROM ..

Error sudo: unable to execute bin/posix/64/adb: No such file or directory

Hello,

On a debian 7 , when i execute ./toolkit.sh , i have this error :

Trying to establish ADB Connection...

sudo: unable to execute bin/posix/64/adb: No such file or directory

E: Couldn't connect to Acer Iconia B1-A71 over adb. Plug-In the device with USB-Debugging Mode turned on.

USB-Debugging Mode was turned on and the binary bin/posix/64/adb exist on linux server.

When i execute the binary bin/posix/64/adb , i have also this error :

root@debian:~/toolkit/bin/posix/64# ./adb

bash: ./adb: No file or folder of this type

The system don't recognize the adb command.

Have you an idea to resolve this problem :p

Thanks

Marin
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vocyber:
what is the latest version now? cannot check anymore at acer website.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
sounds strange.

try chmod +x toolkit.sh and chmod +x ./bin/posix/64/adb

if that still doesn't work, i would try downloading the android sdk for 64bit linux and replace the adb file in bin/posix/64.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bihslk:
Im on RV05RC05_WW_GEN1 so this method doesnt work yet?

THanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nick_1964:
When I apply the update to RV05RC05 are all my apps gone, or does it only update the device but hold the data on it ?

I am on 04 now, rooted and fine and I really hate it when I must re-install all the stuff, for some reason it never looks the same after it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
it will keep the data
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nick_1964:
Thank you !

I applied the patch from acer for the partition error on a rooted tablet ( RV04RC04 ) works without problem, tablet stays rooted.

Then I updated without any problems the tablet with RV05RC05, and it was unrooted again.

Put the RV05RC05 system.img.gz in the toolkit and applied this.

No problems encountered, I am now on a rooted RV05RC05 firmware.

I didn't use the RV05RC06 because on the Acer site it was marked "unstable" before they removed it.

Happy again :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bihslk:
I sucessifully rooted mine Tablet. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vali stan:
I also apply the acer fix and update to rv05rc05, after root the tablet do not start , and i push the reset and start again. I hope that i will not have problems bacause of that.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I updated the 1st post, as a lot of stuff wasn't up to date.

i renamed the RC05RV06 files as RC05RV05 because actually there is no version RC05RV06. Acer has accidently uploaded a zip file with "RC05RV06" in its name, but containing firmware RC05RV05.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GokberkTunc:
first of all, thanks for your works. i have iconia b1, and i did sth wrong. now i can only access recovery mode. when i tried flash firmware, i get ""ERROR: - Invalid partition setting; 17: fat 238e8000:888e8000; Instalation aborted"". i saw your solution for this error, but i cant install apk because i cant boot my tablet. is there any way for solving this problem with recovery menu ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
First thanks!

You probably cannot fix this. Send it back to Acer. Sorry for that.

I will put a big fat notice on the 1st post, prompting to apply APK in any case before rooting.

Or maybe I should patch my tool to fix the partition error before doing any rooting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] @non4:
The latter is a good idea ;)

Introducing the Acer Iconia Toolkit v.0.6.0, supporting the Acer Iconia A1-810 now as well.

I don't own the device, so I cannot test it unfortunately. But user ak6 confirmed it's working. Many thanks to him at this point!

Nevertheless, the more testers the better software i can do, so please don't be afraid :cowboy:

Enjoy!

v0.6.0

======

- Supporting Acer Iconia A1-810 now as well but only root and unroot for now (Tester needed. I don't own a A1-810)

- Big thanks to ak6 that bravely used my toolkit to root his A1-810 and provided me the A1-810 specific data.

- Fixed printing error message even if device has "android 0x0000000026500000" in dumchar_info
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Thank you for the new version.

I would like to try it and root my acer iconia a1-810, but when i start the program the window closes immediately.

I started it with admin rights and i put also the missing python27.dll in the folder.

(I also installed python for windows)

How to fix that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
don't double click the exe but try to start it from an Admin cmd. and put a -d at the end.

e. g. toolkit.exe -d
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
URGENT!! Error ib write_system_image for A1-810

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:

I uploaded a fixed version. Also the exe didn't include needed dlls.

I have gone thru the 1st comment of this page entonjackson n its confusing as some files system files are 301 mb and some are 351mb and what's md5?!, please me help to root according to my tablet... copy/paste here what "I" need to do that's it , because if I get confused and did a wrong step that I didn't had to do then I will face the trouble and I don't want to :

So my tablet it fully updated (on Acer_AV051_B1-A71_RV05RC05_WW_GEN1) and not ever rooted n never tried, its all stock and I have just ran that "Invalid Partition Error" fix for the sake just like that, so what do I need to do to root and which system file please tell in the comment below ?! step by step please . Would highly appreciate it!

@ entonjackson

One problem, the program copies busybox to my tablet and after that it says that i need to unlock the screen.

But the screen in unlocked? Where is the problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
The problem is, i cannot check if it's unlocked on the A1-810. So just make sure screen is unlocked and hit enter.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
The screen is unlocked and when i hit enter the message appears again and again and again...

I also disabled the screen sleep
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Ok.

Which version of toolkit do you use?

Which device do you want to root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
I use the newest version that you uploaded this morning. (But in the window there is written v0.5.5)

And i want to root the Iconia A1-810. I installed all the drivers and enabled also usb debugging. The screen is unlocked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
have you chosen the right device at the beginning? because if yes, it's not possible that it's asking to unlock more than one time.

Maybe you selected B1-A71 accidently?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Yes im sure.

I first selected 2 then 1 and after that ENTER to continue.

The program starts to push busybox and starts the telnet server.

After that the program says that i need to unlock the screen. The screen is unlocked but when i hit enter the message appears again...

I also rebooted the device and plugged it in another usb port.

EDIT: Disabled also the firewall and AVG. Same problem.

Will try it on my other notebook.

EDIT2: Doesn't work on my other notebook. Will try it on ubuntu...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
when u take ubuntu. choose root from scratch. should be bullet proof.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shantusingh:
thanks for not helping entonjackson
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Hey come on. You're acting like a helpless baby. You're asking around for months how to root.

You want people to write a guide specially fitting to your OS, firmware version, and color of keyboard.

Why not try to read the f***n 1st post and following the steps when running the toolkit?

[MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION]

on ubuntu i'm getting an error (look at the screenshot)

I don't have the directory.

I installed adb and fastboot before with this tutorial:

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html

I also did this: chmod +x toolkit.sh and chmod +x ./bin/posix/64/adb (like you said some pages before where a user had the same problem)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
please do a cd to the directory, where toolkit.sh lies.

e.g. cd /home/bob/toolkit

then do a chmod +x toolkit.sh

then do a sudo ./toolkit.sh

it's important that you are running toolkit.sh from the directory you are currently in.

do not work

Hi from Italy. I have tried to root Acer Iconia Tab A1-810 with your toolkit but it doesn't work. I've tried Root from scratch (without prerooted system.img.gz)

Everything ok until push busybox in device. Then, look at screenshot:

docs.google.com/file/d/0BwmOQYed4N_rRlI4RTRzQ1VEYVk/edit?usp=sharing

-Edit: same problem with Root with prerooted system.img.gz
[Miscellaneous Android Development] min-dfreak:
Ok i found a solution for this error...

Users on a 64bit machine must run this commands to make it compatible:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

So i did this but now i have the same problem which I had before on windows.

Please unlock the screen of your tablet!

I tried both methods Root from scratch and Root with prerooted system.img.gz
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alessiof89:
I've got same problem. Linux Xubuntu 13.04 64 bit
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
Jesus christ the toolkit couldn't be any easier to use, you press enter on all the prompts and it's done.

I wonder what the hell do you want to root your tablet for if you can't follow simple instructions or do some simple research in this very thread.

Start the toolkit with -d parameter, e.g. 'toolkit.exe -d'. And post the output here.
