you should update to v06 and then try to root. if it doesn't work. then everything is fine. wait until 0.4.2 and try again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
The worst thing that can happen is a bootloop. and if so, just apply acer update again and everything is fine again...

how to... ?

Hi,

I have some questions on how to manage .apk after rooting.

Before rooting when you go to play store any application is downloaded and automatichally installed in internal SD or internal memory and you have no chance to decide by yourself.

Do you know if after rotting, maybe using some application, are you able to:

1) download an application from google play store

but not install it immediately

. Just download the file and save it in a place at your choice (Internal SD or external SD) for later use

2) create folders to collect applications of the same type (ex. games, office, utility, etc.). Now all the applications goes in a common envinronmet in which they are sorted by alphabetical order. When the number of applications grows this standard sorting is very confusing and I would prefer to organize them by type/function.

sorry if this post seems little bit off topics but I was not able to get answer elsewhere in the web. Maybe you can help.

Hi

I upgrading my b1 with 06 and the last log and my system is v05 more and rooted

The update is apply the root but not for image system.

Is not problem with b1 euro system pal and ntsc or error download between 05 and 06 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigotto:
official updates disappeared?

There should be only a reason that led Acer to unpublish so fast the RV05RC06

firmware release from service support site: this version is unstable....

Anyone noticed any difference from the RV05RC05 ver?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bullbrand:
i havent noticed any differnace but then mine after 6 upgrades to the R06 version still shows mine as R05 in settings/about

i can get root each time without a problem can someone with the R06 installed

[Miscellaneous Android Development] trowieownz:
tablet is stuck on the network utility page, wont turn off or anything
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Seriously.. I give up

People without manimalistic kwonledge (windows or android) should NOT try to root

Now, I really understand why manufacturers lock the bootloader of the Android devices.

Sorry, truth is sometimes hard to read...

entonjackson : I said to you there was almost 90dl for the image with RW and almost 110dl for the simpliest image (without RW)

After reup, it has been downloaded 23 times

Not too many brick regardless the numbers above.

The problem is between the chair and the keyboard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
at the end of the rooting progress there was a small text printed on the console.

it was not printed as a joke, or because it's funny to be printed.

it's printed to tell you, if you tablet is stuck, press the f****** reset button on the right side of the tablet.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Isn't this a great news?

There is no system.img.gz yet, so you can be the first to provide it?

isn't that cool?

use the conventional, safe root method under a linux installation or linux vm or linux cd.

then give us the rooted system.img.gz it will be under /cache on your device.

Thanks!

but i had to do it more than one time because for some reason the toolkit window despairs lol then i have started again till i achieve all the steps.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingstonliao:
Is there any Iconia A1-810 root work by using this tools?

I see many people in the thread failed to root for Iconia A1, maybe we have the same problem, permission deny for su.

I just wonder is there any Iconia a1 su work by using these root tools.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] twu2:
I try to root my A1 today using this tool....

got same permission denied like you.

I found the bin/a1/su is version 3.0.9, but the bin/b1/su is version 3.1.1.

so... I try to use the 3.1.1 su binary in bin/b1....

then.... I can do su without any problem under adb shell.

but in my A1 (install Superuser, the above 3.1.1 su is from this package), it will pop-up only once for /system/bin/sh to get root right.... then nothing....

OK.... finally, I made it...

Because I'm using the TWN version of A1, so I don't want to use the image in the 1st page... I just do it under linux....

1. Don't use the bin/a1/su in this toolkit.

2. Download the system image with a /system RW workaround provided by sodaFR.

3. use this toolkit to dump the system.img.gz from your device (root from scratch, then before flash it, stop the tool, or you can flash it.... anyway, it won't affect)

4. now you have 2 system.img.gz

5. mount sodaFR's system.img as /mnt/a1su and mount your device's system.img as /mnt/a1, the copy file like this:

cp -a /mnt/a1su/bin/busybox /mnt/a1/bin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/bin/.ext /mnt/a1/bin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/bin/wrapper.sh /mnt/a1/bin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/xbin/su /mnt/a1/xbin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/app/SuperSU.apk /mnt/a1/app/

6. umount all of them, gzip your device's system.img to system.img.gz

7. now you have the rooted version image for your device, put it to system_image folder, and run this toolkit again, choose root and from system.img.gz

8. after finished, reboot the device, then you got a rooted A1.

PS. if you already copy the su to the system.img.gz by this toolkit, don't forget to delete /mnt/a1/bin/su in step 5.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AtOmIk C4:

Hi!

I rooted A1-810 with acer_iconia_toolkit_v0.6.2 & RV18RC07 ROM (RW /system).

All works perfect.

BIG THANKS TO THE AUTHOR! ;)

Offtopic Question: Have anyone experience with multiuser JB 4.2.2.

Where are data for root user and others?

As a root user I installed many apps, they are not visible to other user.

I would like to have that config:

separated data and applications for every user

shared data and applications for all users

Android is highly different regarding above to compare Linux, where "I'm home".

Any help appreciated.

OK, this is the procedure which I've done and got root without any problems:

1st. You need to instal python (on most linux versions it is already installed - make sure you have one because this shell script is calling python script)

2nd. You need to install android-tools-adb (you don't really need to install entire SDK for that..., if you use ubuntu than: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb)

3rd. execute script ./toolkit.sh

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
Is this true?

sodaFR? what do you think?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsdnix:
yes it is true... I've done it and now scl_002 confirmed...

you might try it... :)

anyway cheers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
it works on my ubuntu and linux mint machine both 64 bit.

without installing any packages.

that's why i ask...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Canonical (Ubuntu) has good repo and very active community

then I guess scl_002 screwed his system up :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsdnix:
is it possible that you might installed entire SDK of android?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
what do you mean with "installed"?

i downloaded the zip and extracted it.

if that means "installed" then yes.

but i use the toolkit the same way as everybody else. with the binaries that are inside.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsdnix:
ok, maybe I used wrong word -> "installed" you have downloaded entire SDK from google and "place it" on your PC, but I didn't do that, I only needed adb, so I downloaded package from repo, using sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb, and it also worked without any problem.

cheers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
but adb is inside the toolkit.

that's why i put it in. so you guys don't have to download it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsdnix:
not sure why, but I also needed to install adb,

anyway. it worked for me, so I'm not bothering myself with that anymore...

Oh one more thing that crossed my mind, (since I'm not that into android and their android debugging bridge) is it possible that it somehow relies to other dependencies from system?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
No, it's ok. There is a possibility stock Ubuntu installations miss things like libraries, etc. that are needed to use my toolkit and that i have installed. I would really like to know this and at least add it to the instructions in the readme.

maybe i will try it this week with a live cd of ubuntu.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bsdnix:
probably, as I said I'm not that into android debugging bridge so I cannot tell, the only thing that it might explain is dependencies/libraries or what ever adb is using to do the job...

cheers :)

Twu2 method can work for Iconia A1 root

I have checked the following method by twu2, it can su work for my Iconia A1. (See the # in my adb shell)

No more permission denied to su in adb shell. (Means root work completely).

Maybe the root tools author - Entonjackson can easily make the following change into your tools.

(build into Linux root from scratch, would be more beneficial for different country version of Iconia A1).

The following is quoted From twu2.

1. Don't use the bin/a1/su in this toolkit.

2. Download the system image with a /system RW workaround provided by sodaFR.

3. use this toolkit to dump the system.img.gz from your device (root from scratch, then before flash it, stop the tool, or you can flash it.... anyway, it won't affect)

4. now you have 2 system.img.gz

5. mount sodaFR's system.img as /mnt/a1su and mount your device's system.img as /mnt/a1, the copy file like this:

cp -a /mnt/a1su/bin/busybox /mnt/a1/bin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/bin/.ext /mnt/a1/bin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/bin/wrapper.sh /mnt/a1/bin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/xbin/su /mnt/a1/xbin/

cp -a /mnt/a1su/app/SuperSU.apk /mnt/a1/app/

6. umount all of them, gzip your device's system.img to system.img.gz

7. now you have the rooted version image for your device, put it to system_image folder, and run this toolkit again, choose root and from system.img.gz

8. after finished, reboot the device, then you got a rooted A1.

PS. if you already copy the su to the system.img.gz by this toolkit, don't forget to delete /mnt/a1/bin/su in step 5.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
I have dowloaded both 32bit and 64bt

Then, te host needs some 32bit libraries (lib32-gcc, etc...) to have adb working

Sometimes, Google sux :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
ah ok. this could be.

the first thing i do, after installing an ubuntu based distro is:

this could be the trick. if yes, i will add it to readme.
