problem with rooting - very newbie to android

Hi everyone.

I am very new to android and know very little about it. Could you please help me as I don't know how to install the APK for the Invalid Partition Error and also the Root Toolkit won't run all the way to the end and complete the root. The toolkit seems to start ok but then stops and aborts. Here is a screen dump.

What do you want to do?

[1] Root

[2] Unroot

[3] Internal 2 External (only with root!)

[Q] Quit

Enter a selection: 1

================== Root =================

Before we can start, please do following:

1. Make sure drivers for Acer Iconia B1 are installed, you can find them here: h

2. Plug-In your Acer Iconia B1 into this PC.

3. Enable USB Debugging Mode by going into Settings -> Developer Tools.

4. Put prerooted system.img.gz into folder: system_image.

5. Keep your device plugged in until it's finally rooted, or this procedure is a

borted!

If you sucessfully applied the steps above, we can now start.

You can always abort by pressing Ctrl+C

[ENTER] Continue

[Q] Quit
