Thanks entonjackson for this root method and glad I came out with that dialer method :) . I got the contacts sys app back, I just unrooted first my tab from v0.7.0, did hard reset and rooted back again using sys img with 0.5.6 (didn't tried to root wid 0.7.0 just like that for my misconception :p),,, and after reboot, all system files are back! And removed few carefully, and Performance highly improved!

Whooping 3247 quadrant score first time and YouTube hd super fine, it used to slow down a bit if I click many times on a playing hd video on youtube app and then it used to get synched in seconds,,,, but if I click many times now, its super smooth all the time, glad I did hard reset and rooted again .

Just hope we are not left behind with future updates of it, as you said we will still get it, I too think so the same :)

** Peace **

BTW, does anyone knows how to get rid of the add in the notifications center (on top where you can activate/desactivate wifi bluetooth and stuff) ?

I tried adaway, but that didnt get this f****** add of "face swap" away. Thanks a lot.

Hey guys,

So, I get a new Acer A1-810 Saturday. If I get it and I need to update it again and I still have the Cust1 firmware, should I start a logcat then update my tablet so I can get the download link for it? Maybe you being able to download the OTA update will be of use to you? And if I would put my tablet into a bootloop/freeze upon reboot again would I be able to access recovery and reflash that file to bring it back to life? Thanks for the help and sorry for all the questions. :D

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
The OTA update as a zip file would be of a great value for us, yes!

I think you cannot screw the iconias that much, so it won't get into recovery mode anymore. But yes, if you can get there and have a full OTA zip, you can save it.

Thanks a lot to you all!

Good, let's just hope this one needs update like the first one with the same firmware. Then I can mess around and not worry about having to send my tablet back, I'll have to make sure I keep the OTA zip under lock and key then, haha. :D

RV03RC08 version

Got Acer A1-810 the RV03RC08 version. Successfully rooted with 0.7.2 rootkit (used appropriate RV03RC08 system.img.gz )

Re-booted fine, image version - Acer_AV052_A1-810_RV03RC08 _WW_GEN1

Tried to install Titanium Backup. Got message - no access to root.

From reading posts here, I feel that it would be unsafe to use RV18RC07 or RV18RC10 images for unlocking my tablet (bootloop possibility).

Can someone confirm, please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Hello,

Did you install Superuser App on Google Play Store

and then verify root with Root Checker on Play Store ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andy1352:
Installed Superuser App and Root Checker. Shows rooted. Then Titanium Backup. It works!!

Hello,

I saw that you added a new version of the file system on the front page (RV18RC10_PA_CA) ... is an update for everyone? or for certain countries only?

I performed root with success and thank you very much .... but I would like to know if future updates will come out will be detected and installed? or I will have to first do the unroot?

thanks in advance for your answers.

Francesco

[Miscellaneous Android Development] neutrale81:
Thank you SODAFR,

then I do not care because it's just Canadian.

but if in the future there will be another update for me, it will be detected and installed automatically as if there were no root or must I do the unroot?

in any case, after you install the update hypothetical future, I'll have to root again?

thanks

Francesco

P.S. sorry if I always ask a lot of things, is that they are very picky and I want to learn. If it were to give you trouble, please do not let me out because I'm having a rough time and today I have come out well hemorrhoids ... among other things I can not do a single day on the beach ... so be patient and magnanimous!

Help !!

Hello!

So, today i decided to root my Acer Iconia B1-A71 tablet.

I downloaded the pre-rooted system IMG, and i did everything that the toolkit told me to do.

Finally, i got the message R................O.............O............T or something like that, and i sayd "Congrats, you have now rooted your tablet" or something like that, and i disconnected the cable. Then, i had to reboot it, but my screen was frozen, nothing happened.... so i took a needle and pressed the reset button above the power button, then this "Acer" message pops up like usually, but it wont do nothing, only thing i can see is the message!!!

I really hope that you can help me out with it, since i got the tablet like, two weeks ago and it would suck if it would be bricked already....

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
which firmware was installed?

which firmware your system.img.gz was of?

if nothing works. download acer firmware v05 and apply the zip over recovery.

please use search function next time. this problem was posted like 100 times.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Johnson1234:
Well, im pretty new to this stuff, so i just googled the "Acer Iconia B1-A71 system.img.gz" and added it to the folder. You mentioned about downloading acer firmware v05 and apply the zip over recovery... Can you please tell me how to do it? Or provide me with a tutorial link?

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Okay guys,

So, my bad. It is not Cust1, it is Cus1, here is what is currently on my tablet and in a few minutes I will update it with a catlog and provide the download link:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Apologies if this has been covered before but I just got a B1-710 today, it's the 8GB version.

Anyway is the 710 system.img.gz suitable for this version (8GB) as I know there is a 16GB sold as well or does that not matter?

Thanks.

Successfull root .

Hey man, really thanks for this, now i have root and i can finally install apps in the sd card in my b1 a71. Next step now is unlock the bootloader, then we can try put some custom roms on it. I want to help, so, how can i sign in this petition? And please, forgive my bad english. xD

[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
So, I've been looking around about my version of the firmware and I read from the Acer A500 thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1624908&page=10 that the differences between GEN_1/2 and PA_CUS1 are this:

There seems to be a difference in the builds

PA_CUS1 = US version less languages and no 12 & 13 wifi channels

WW_GEN1 = european version more languages and support for 12 & 13 wifi channels

And from looking at my tablet: It's correct. There is no 12 & 13 wifi channels and I only have 4 languages to choose from. From watching a European guy unbox his tablet, he has way more. So, in that thread they were flashing them with no problem between the two different versions. So, what do you suggest I do here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
firmware -> sdcard

sdcard -> tablet

tablet -> recovery mode

recovery mode -> apply update from sdcard

Thanks a lot! I added the link to the 1st page!

Could you do a rooted system.img.gz as well? that would be awesome!

it will suit if partition info is the same, which is checked by my toollkit before rooting.

if you don't trust, you can give me the content of your /proc/dumchar_info

open it with a file explorer or with adb.

search this thread if you don't know. it's been done already a thousand times.

Thanks, are you able to confirm the MD5 for the system.img.gz? (Dunno if you have the original on hand but thought I'd ask)

I've downloaded it & have MD5: 273cb216d1926621abcc3b1293c0caa2

EDIT: Never mind, downloaded it twice & had same MD5 so bit the bullet!

Q

how to restore if i brick my acer iconia A1-810?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] francanna:
[OT] Some users and I are having problems whit a huge battery drain with acer iconia A1 not depending on apps... when the battery arrives at a certain percentage(eg 60% or40%) it starts going down at some 1% every minute... I saw I am not the only one with this problem. Anyone here with this problem? Is it hardware or kernel related problem? Sorry for ot and thanks for the replies

Nello, olease san anyone descrive the steps forma installing the root. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ejignacio:
Steps

1.Download the toolkit

2.Extract it somewhere like your desktop

3. Download and apply the Invalid Partition Fix on your tablet to avoid bootloops:)

4.Download the system.img.gz for your version of firmware

5.Copy the system.img.gz on the folder named system_image inside the Toolkit folder

6. Run the toolkit and do what the toolkit tells you

7.Your device should be rooted in no time

P.S. If your tablet freezes AFTER the rooting process just reset it with a paperclip or needle :)

I think its just putting a goal every 100 signs , i dont think it ever ends there its just keep going as many as you can get by putting a goal its only for encouraging people that "we are close to make it happen" my guess.

But maybe you send an email with the petition link to acer so they notice how many ppl have signed it so far ? I dont know how it works after that

My previous statement about having 06 as firmware version written, was wrong. it's 05 for me as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bullbrand:
i just opened the R06 zip

and build.prop indeed is shown as

so im not going mental there fek up not mine thank god :)

will reupload the system.img.gz as i deleted it when i thought i had messed up .

and as a foot note can anyone who quotes any post with a live URL to a current file please go and edit your posts to remove all dead links as it just messes the thread up . and if possible please if you do quote someone , delete any live links in it to prevent dead ends , it is a major bugbear on here for me.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] KrameX:
Hi, Yesterday, I used the zip in the link trying to update to RV05RC06, but the system image after apply is RV05RC05 ... not RC06.

Why the zip says RC06?? apparently its only RC05
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bullbrand:
Acer.AV051.B1-A71.RV05RC06.WW.GEN1 is an upgrade

but it still contains the old Acer.AV051.B1-A71.RV05RC05.WW.GEN1 build.prop file

and thats why even after the upgrade is done it shows

image Acer.AV051.B1-A71.RV05RC05.WW.GEN1

Build Acer_AV051_B1-A71_1.258.00_WW_GEN1

please stop asking why they differ its down to acer they made an error when compling the new RC06 file and forgot to update the build.prop file in the release.

If you do not understand what im talking about then don't do anything. stay where you are on Acer.AV051.B1-A71.RV05RC05.WW.GEN1 the RC06 upgrade is very minor and has even been taken down from the acer support.. website .

it may have bugs or some other issue i do not know. but they felt the need to remove it and i'm sure they know best

dave

And i wont relist the RC06 system.img.gz on here i will only send the link to entonjackson as all links in this thread should be listed on first page, first post so entonjackson remains in full control of his thread . we have become very untidy in this thread because of the vast amount of loose URLs listed other than in OP ,if you read this please think about the URLs you have posted and if possible edit any posts and remove them and send the links to entonjackson that has to be the best way forward or we end up with 200 pages with 100s of random old dead links , thank you for reading .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KrameX:
hey, sorry, I did not force you to answer, if you want ... well ... but if not ... not an obligation. I read the threads but can't find why update RV05RC05 still RV05RC05 on settinfs -> info....

it was just a question :(

Now ... entojackson could edit the first post and update information. If someone update with the zip version RV05RC06 (actually RV05RC05), these people nneds to root with RV05RC05 Prerooted Image. I did that mode last night, and rooting succesful.

im here to help when i can but even im not perfect and the last update confused me as well . but now its been fully explained we hope it helps clear the confusion created by acer .

i have sent the new link to enton and im sure he will update when he gets a chance . i will also send the RC06 update link to him for the 1st post and delete all my link ...

can i just ask what files you took from page one if any and what is /was your existing firmware 04 or 05 ?

from page 1

If you're rooting with prerooted system.img.gz here are the Downloads:

existing firmware 04, trying to update RV05RC05/OTA firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bullbrand:
a few more was it rooted on 04 or not

and if your doing the OTA to 05 does it download and begin the upgrade.

then fail or something else

thanks

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

in all the upgrades we have done we have never had an error on them where are you getting the 05 file from could the source file be corrupted ?

the current 05/06 fileon page one is mine and i uploaded that then downloaded and flashed mine with the dloaded file so i know its a good one . do you want to try that

as the acer site has removed all OS upgrades for now .

or if you dont want to run the 05/06 file is your current 04 working ok and you just want root ?

may seem like a lot of question but there to try and help sort the problem
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
I will compose an email containing a link to the petition. you check the grammar and change content if something is missing or wrong.

No useful app for this without root.

Just discharge it to 0% till it shuts down. Try and turn on and let it "die" for no power. Then charge it full for 7-8 hours, turn it on. Then unplug for 15 mins and re-plug till 100% for half an hour.

This should show the system which are 0% and 100%. Repeat this whole procedure more times. It should fix calibrationm, if this is the problem.
