And you went to the version that was out there for update? So if you were on RVXX and you had an update available to RVYY, you tried rooting with RVYY and bricked?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
LOL you seem to be itching to do it - try it (at your own risk) and let us know..:angel:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wrightperspective:
I was previously on RV03RC08 and rooted with version RV18RC10_PA_CA back when I first got the tab. Today I rooted RV18RC10_PA_CA with my stock version of RV03RC08 trying to get to a stock version that would let me update but I keep getting the fail with the OTA update and the check partition size error with the update from sd card. I know it can be done with those two but now sure if anyone else has tried this on the A1-810 with other system images. I just can't get this sucka to update so I'm wondering if using a different system image will work so I can have a newer version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I suggest going back to stock, by flashing a stock system image, then update and then root again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wrightperspective:
I already went back to stock but when I try to update I get a check partition size error. No way out?

Acer 811

Hi,

I dont own the tab anymore, but i have my images stored.https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p9rtwn3vz53xw4a/IajPTLhlVs

The rooted had also xposed activated, which was not so easy to activate.

But its for the 811 EU Version.

Very fast, bravia engine, sound mod you can change everthing like navbar, battery and so on.

images are from\for acer iconia b1-710 canadian model..version is in the zip pkg.(jpeg image)

And what program\app are we using to flash our stock image back to acer iconia? flashtool?

thanks

A3-A310 is not rootable yet with my tool. I need contents of /proc/dumchar_info and /system/build.prop first.

Hi guys, I would like to take this discussion to summarize the flash's experiences of these devices:

1- sp flash tool, work?

2- flash in fastboot, work?

3- others software for flash?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
1. AFAIK no

2. no

3. There's something like META MODE that apparently works. With it you can get into adb mode, without booting the tablet.

4. In some cases Framaroot works, but not always.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tindean:
This should get you off your bootloop, if you have the same version of software as i posted..should be all the same software for canadian version as far as ive seen...

use the toolkit and flash the stock or rooted image...may as well use rooted..let us know how u make out

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f723/temporary-adb-without-usb-debugging-tick-volcano-1756187/

Just for info. My tab was bricked when I tried to install custom fonts using rom toolbox pro.

PS: I made a backup of original fonts. So if I can use adb to put those original fonts back maybe I can fix the tab. But I can't get into adb in recovery mode. Maybe I don't have mtp usb drivers?

I read is some thread to get in adb.

Put your tab in recovery.

Attach the cable.

Open adb and type adb devices to see if its working.

I think thats the method.

Sure, i will have a look at it later when i get home, will update this post then.

EDIT:

I took a look at it, and it looks like he changed everything to pure .java.

On 2.4.1 he used seperate scripts like install.sh and just called and ran them from within the java code, but now he has moved everything into java:

https://github.com/rovo89/XposedIns...droid/xposed/installer/InstallerFragment.java

A potential fix might be to download the source code, change a line in this file:

https://github.com/rovo89/XposedIns.../android/xposed/installer/util/AssetUtil.java

Line 19:

public static final File BUSYBOX_FILE = new File(XposedApp.getInstance().getCacheDir(), "busybox-xposed");
TO
public static final File BUSYBOX_FILE = new File("/system/bin/busybox");

I have no idea if it would work, and i cant test it myself(ie. compile an apk etc).

For those who want here is a modified Xposed Framework 2.4.1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Well, continuing on from my last post regarding backing up the ROM in Meta Mode with MTK Droid Root, it was partly successful, actually ran out of device space so not all partitions were backed up (data.img was very large due to all my apps etc.) and as it was just a quick test I didn't feel like factory resetting to bring the file sizes down, then sadly there were a few errors when converting it to a usable backup with the SP Flash Tool, no idea if it was user error or something else, may try again when I have more time.

There was an error relating to uboot.bin so that didn't get properly converted, and also an issue with cache.img which mentioned something about Yaffs.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
Root through Lubuntu

Josh,

Here are the instructions that I followed...and they worked perfectly...

1> Installed a new "32 bit version" of LUBUNTU 13 downloaded from their website. (I tried 64 bit installs of Ubuntu 12 and then 13 and while they would see the tablet's file storage, could not get the Toolkit to connect). I went with Lubuntu 13 because it was the "lite" version. The key I have read is going with the 32 bit version.

2> Open up a UXTERM (terminal window similar to a DOS command window in Windows) and install a couple of required packages for the Android by giving the following commands:

sudo su

sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot android-tools-adb

3> Now create a new folder in the /bin folder called IconiaToolkit with this command: sudo mkdir /bin/IconiaToolkit

4> Now make sure you have access rights to this new folder with command: sudo chown user:user /bin/IconiaToolkit

in the line above, replace the "user:user" with whatever user name you set up for yourself when you installed Lubuntu (ie: bob:bob)

5> Now open up internet browser in Lubuntu and download the IconiaToolkit v0.8.1

6> In Lubuntu, open FileManager PCManFM and double click on the Downloads folder, then right click on the IconiaToolkit.zip icon and say "Extract to" and specify /bin/IconiaToolkit as the destination folder.

7> Now back in your Xterm window, go to the toolkit directory with the command: cd /bin/IconiaToolkit

8> Verify you are there with the command: ls (you should see a file called toolkit.sh among other files.

9> Now per instructions of the toolkits README file, enter the command: chmod +x toolkit.sh <enter> followed by the command: ./toolkit.sh <enter>

you should now see the menu for the rooting script.

I selected Option 2 for my A1-810 device followed by Option 1 - Root and then Option 1 again, ROOT FROM SCRATCH.

Takes about 12 to 15 minutes - but was super easy once I got the correct Linux environment set up.

which key combinations to enter to meta mode?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
META MODE

You need the following software; Maui META 3G 6.1316.1

Also the correct drivers for device, if B1-710, it's MT6577 USB VCOM Drivers & relevant Acer Iconia Drivers (Acer website), plus Android Gadget CDC Driver

When everything is installed & you're in Maui META 3G follow this to access Meta Mode:

1. First Check "Smart Phone Into Meta Mode"

2. Click "Reconnect"

3. Quickly Insert USB Cable Into Tablet

I've linked to useful guides in my previous posts in this thread, maybe look at those too.

See image below as well for a visual guide ;)

Hey tfgu,

thanks for the heads up, we have been asking Acer for access to firmware for ages.

This is a great help to myself as a developer as I am constantly screwing my android :P

Also, as you said, the package is just like that of any custom rom, except one important thing. This rom is signed by acer which allows it to be used on our devices.

Question...I rooted my A1-810 using Lubuntu and Root from Scratch...

Excuse my ignorance...How do I un root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
Hopefully you pulled a clean image before you rooted. If you did, then ROOT from prerooted image using the clean image.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fREAST:
Try flashing with the newly released update.zips, get your correct version:

And follow the guide here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
Nice find! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
Ok...

Yep more questions

1. When rooting from Scratch, didn't it pull a clean system image on it's own and if so where does it place it?

2. Is the above mentioned update safe to run on a rooted tablet?

3. And if so, how do I know witch one is for mine?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fREAST:
2: I looked at the updater-script from the .zip and from the looks of it, it formats the /system partition so any changes made (rooting etc) should not matter at all, it should work fine, just follow the guide i posted in the same post.

3: On your tablet: go to settings> about tablet > and check the image version
[Miscellaneous Android Development] treetop777:
1. for a minute, but then it rooted it and wrote it back to the tab. the rooted image is in "sd/cache" if i'm not mistaken.

2. IDK

3. Go to the tablet's settings>about and look in there.

Thank you

And it's that file an actual update? Or duo I have the same already
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fREAST:
I'd consider it a "full update", think of it as a system.img.gz but from Acer and you can flash it from recovery, it will remove everything in the system partition.

You already have the same version, but if i understood correctly you wanted to unroot? Installing this will do that(formats /system partition).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
Correct...but was hoping to update to a newer firmware in the hope it would increase the touch sensitivity..

So I'll keep root...but I'll download file in case I need it one day.
