Is the image and build identical to your other ones -BEFORE- the update? Could be you got one from another area. The message Temporary Unavailable indicates (mostly) that the tablet is from an area that has not yet been slated for the update (my Canadian version tablet has had that message for a very long while before I got the update).

Mostly it is a matter of patience, but in the worst case somebody can make an CWM nandroid backup (like [MENTION=5484948]Calingo[/MENTION] suggested) and let you load it [AFTER you put CWM on your JB machine via SPFT flashing, but for unlocking/CWM on JB the process requires different images/scatter data]...

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

No, as has been stated before in this thread: The toolbox is specifically for the MTK version of the Iconia A/B...

So no Intel-based support here... Sorry!

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Try the -d debug option and submit output. That way the OP can check where it failed. You -DID- put the image into the image subfolder, right? I know you already rooted your tablet, but the OP is always interested in improving his product...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampir74:
Hi,

I have just one question for entonjackson!

You work on root maybe for this Acer iconia one b1-730hd kitkat4.4.2 device? You need something for this device tell me I will send u ... Thx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
Hey [MENTION=4523909]Just_Another_N00b[/MENTION]

The other two are and were different build numbers than this one...

The person I bought it off said it was detecting the update when they had it...I only just bought it a few days ago and they Factory Reset to sendf to me...since then...only the Service Temporarily Unavailable error... :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geo_Tech:
Yes i put the image to the folder did all the steps are mentioned but it kept just failing. I hope i could help but the tab was a friend of mine when i have it again in my hands i will report back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Optimissimus99:
[MENTION=1377976]andrewbat[/MENTION] i think in the Acer Website there is a download for the latest JB. If you install it, updating should work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
The B1-730HD is Intel-based. This tool CANNOT (and will never be able to) work with ANY

Intel-based

Iconia, as the tool makes use of MTK-specific access circumvention.

NO Intel-based Acer Iconia A/B will EVER able to make use of this tool...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampir74:
Ok. Not be a description on first page the tool is only for MTK device.

Tnx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
One other question my friend....

How do I determine which is the right one for my tablet....is it by the region code - so for me the one with WW_GEN1? and...

How do I load it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampir74:
Sorry! admin delete this post thx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
[MENTION=5737085]Optimissimus99[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5484948]Calingo[/MENTION]

Can either of you answer this??.I'm so confused??.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Calingo:
Version

Go to settings - About Tablet AND check the build number or image version if its ww_gen1

Then download the we_gen1 from the website and you just have to click on the file to download
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
Thanks [MENTION=5484948]Calingo[/MENTION] ...

But here comes my confusion...where do I place the file and how do I load it????

Sorry :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Calingo:
Download it in your tab directly or just download it on your PC and copy it to your SD card and then boot in recovery mode and update the file
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
Does it need to be on an external SD card or can it and will it run if it is loaded on the tab?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Calingo:
It Has To Be External SD Card
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
If you go to the Acer Support Site (support.acer.com and select your locality), select your tablet and then go to the Documents tab you will see a document mentioned called App. Guide: A1-810&A1-811 SD update manual. This PDF document explains how to (re-)load you OS into the tablet. It is explained very clearly. On the same page/screen in the last tab is the shortcut to download the image itself. Keep in mind that this "upgrade" no longer works if you have upgraded to KitKat!

URL of PDF document is (might not work directly):

http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...1&Step3=A1-810&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=AAP_10

Hope this helps...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewbat:
Thanks guys...

All downloaded, flashed, upgraded....and OTA upgraded to Kit Kat !!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
Phew! Sounds like it all worked out... Congrats!

Anyone got a decent replacement screen source for A1-810?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] strana77:
A1-840

Please add support for A1-840 FHD :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
The A1-840FHD is Intel-based. This tool CANNOT (and will never be able to) work with ANY Intel-based Iconia, as the tool makes use of MTK-specific access circumvention.

NO Intel-based Acer Iconia A/B will EVER able to make use of this tool...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tfgu:
a1-810 kk

i was able to root on JB but now on KK i get this with "sh toolkit.sh -d"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
There are some coding issues with respect to A1-810 combo with KitKat. One of them is that since KK the /cache area can no longer be used by the tool. The other one is that, somehow, the KitKat logical in the script is not set correctly when trying to root from scratch. And also the MTK Logger is not called (the old method is used) for KK A1-810.

I would suggest to go with the SPFLASH method, see http://xdaforums.com/android/general/acer-ax-b1-t2875894 for more info. I used that method as the python script, even with corrections put in, would not do the job quite well... Not sure what is failing, but it just does not want to work with KK A1-810 (and the like) when trying root from scratch...

Still [MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION]'s script has merit, and is promising (the method is clearly sound)... And, if needed, you can also do it manually.

--- EDIT ---

Two more reasons for going for the flash-method:

1. Setup for root has changed with KitKat, you now also need a daemon to run. The toolbox does not do that yet.

2. Mounting /system in RW is still not possible after setting up with the toolbox-method

Ad 1.

Supersu.zip can be run in CWM recovery mode after SPFlashing and installs in seconds

Ad 2.

In CWM recovery mode you can mount /system in RW mode and push files/run scripts with ADB (I installed busybox manually, which also has a zip-install available)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] exad:
Just so everyone knows. The Intel versions of this tablet are rootable. It took quite a bit of research but the dell venue 8 shares the same chip as my Acer Iconia B1-730HD and this thread contains a toolkit that works on intel chipped Iconia tabs.

You need to download and extract Mykit_batch and download SDC_INTEL2_ROOTKIT.7z and extract SDC_INTEL2_ROOTKIT.7z into mykit_batch/mykits/rootkit then run the runme.bat in mykit_batch and then follow the rooting instructions. Make sure you have the Acer fastboot/adb drivers installed prior. they are on the acer website.

Happy rooting!

Hi guy, i'm new, can you explain how to root my Acer Iconia A1-810 running KK from scratch, I followed the instruction in #1 post but it didn't work, the tool not even started. I'm using version 0.8.5 and Lubuntu 14.04 on VMware Workstation.

Thank you so much.

Cheer :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
As I told a few posts before, in prior post #3898 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55856620&postcount=3898), there are some issues with the toolkit with root from scratch under KK for A1-810. I have looked at the Python script, and tried to fix it, but with limited results... For now it would probably be better to use the SPFlash method (see the post #3898), until the OP has had time to look at and fix the script...

Sorry I could not give you better news.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kayzm:
Thanks you so much, I tried SPFlash Method and it worked :laugh:

2 questions ...

Hi, i have 2 questions ...

1. - The extra config file download link for RV18RC07 (a1-810) is invalid ...

Is there some alternative link?

2. - I am on that RV18RC07 now, can i flash lets say RV27RC03 update.zip in recovery mode, just to update the OS, without attempting to root it afterwards?

Will it not harm my device?

Many thanks

Is A3-10 with latest Kitkat update really supported? Is it safe?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vasdf:
When I try to root with the image you uploaded, the app quickly shuts down. If I try to pull system image from device, it says this.

Also, it's using debug usb mode and Windows 10 is running with permissions, so I have no idea what's going on.

Root Genius can detect the device perfectly, and I can access it from PC, it just won't work with rootkit tools, Root Genius says there are no drivers for this tablet and this won't work. Readme says I should try running it from Windows's CMD, but I don't know how to do that...

EDIT

Now it says this...I don't know what's going on anymore.

Then I proceeded to install drivers from here.

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/JO...3-A10-Android-USB-20-Driver-10.shtml#download

Shows working correctly, but still refuses to work with rootkits.

http://goo.gl/i56Gn

Installed this next...still doesn't work, tried compatibility modes too.

EDIT2

I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO GET A FIX! The android device just needed permanent permission to contact my PC.

Now, the problem is, I can pull the system's, BUT I can't root...it keeps saying it can't root me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vasdf:
Please, still need help.

Yesterday was my birthday and I want to get this done soon...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
Am I reading it right? Are you trying to run the toolkit against Windows 10 Evaluation Release? I hope not, as some of the python code has never been tested against anything higher than Windows 8.1, and even that had some issues to start with. If you are not able to run this toolkit against W8.1 (or lower), then it would be up to the developer of this kit to test it against W10, and I am not sure he has either the time or the hardware available to do this...

My advise: Try to run this against a Production Release O/S, be it either Windows or UN*X/L*nux...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vasdf:
I don't want to go back to Fedora and I don't have any legit copy of Windows other than 10.

Pretty much, I'd have to be patient for now.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Optimissimus99:
Nope, because we need a custom kernel based on Acers 4.4 Source. BUT IT IS NOT THERE BECAUSE ACER DONT RELEASES CODE, THESE GUYS ARE BREAKING THE GPL LINUX LICENSE. And to flash kernel there is a need for a unlocked tablet, just search XDA for the instructions
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
As [MENTION=5737085]Optimissimus99[/MENTION] already stated: no solution for now. But a work-around of sorts is to start the tablet in CWM recovery-mode, mount /system and others via CWM and run some adb commands against it from your desktop. It is really not a solution for during 'normal' mode, but at least you can do some stuff with a /system mounted in rw mode. And your adb session runs in root directly.

We will need to wait for Acer to follow the license rules and get the sources for KK out...

I had hopes the thread "Acer Iconia (MTK) - Development" (http://xdaforums.com/android/general/acer-ax-b1-t2875894) would support rooting of your b1-720, but alas, not yet. Check with [MENTION=5889030]FireDiamond[/MENTION], whether he knows of plans for the unlocking/bootloader/rooting of your tablet. I have been looking around, but no sign of any B1-720 rooting found.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Optimissimus99:
It is only with scratch method rootable
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
I've gone through your Python script and I think the following section should be removed (probably part of an older edit?):

if a1 and kitkat:
su = os.path.join("bin", "a1", "su")
system_image_target_dir = "/data/local/tmp"
elif selection2 == "n" or selection2 == "N":
kitkat = False
else:
print("E: Only 'Y' or 'N' is allowed!")
root()

[Miscellaneous Android Development] rhakim:
I have tried with root from scratch with linux,but it gave me error :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
What error? I don't mind helping, but will need errors to solve them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
Have you looked at my suggestion a few posts back (including full code, but still not 100% working)? The current code in the python script has some KitKat logics not completely set up for the A1-810 (and alike). But it has evolved and the code shows that. Nothing wrong with that, but some code-duplication could have been 'optimised away'. No negative intentions here, but it seems the 0.8.5 on KitKat, especially for the root-from-scratch, seems to have some issues.

(Groetjes uit Canada)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
I hadn't seen any other code attached it. Possibly a Tapatalk issue? When I removed the lines mentioned above, I could run the script (using Py3). The system.img I used didn't work though, and it bootlooped. Recovered it using spft-method. Haven't looked at cwm or root yet. Kernels are available by now aren't they?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Just_Another_N00b:
I have put in error-output, my version of 0.8.5 and diffs (post 3858: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55628130&postcount=3858) between 0.8.5 of [MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION] and my version. Still was unable to extract system image (my test of the script) under Ubuntu...

As far as I know there have not been any KK for the A1-81x custom roms made. The only ones I see are all JB-based.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
I meant the KK kernels. Checked the Acer website and saw they weren't...asked Acer for them, maybe we get them that way?

Extraction of system.img on Windows worked fine. Ubuntu I may test this week (if time permits)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vasdf:
I successfully scratch rooted my Kitkat Acer Iconia A3-A10 according to the tools using Fedora, USB Debugging on -d, everything.

Now, after installing SuperSU and Root Verifier, Root Verifier first, Root Verifier told me to check SuperSU as it can't detect root directories or something like that. When I run SuperSU and tell it to update it normally I get this error telling me that SuperSU update failed and that it needs to Reboot...which never does.

Second option doesn't work either, it just dumps me after saying it'll try to reboot me to access. Superuser also is empty.

Ironically if I weren't rooted I assume I would be bricked? But apparently I am NOT rooted AND I survived? What is going on???

This is with the version linked earlier posts, the revised one, also tried not running commands with -d. Won't work.

Time to use SPFlash?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] justmpm:
Try installing SuperSU from the playstore or getting a flashable zip from the SuperSU thread and installing it via recovery. This is something that happens every once in a while when I reroot my device. It probably means your device is rooted, and now you need to get a functional SuperSU or superuser app so that root access can be granted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vasdf:
My version came from store and is no-go.

How do I do that? It's my first time flashing Android and the beta files don't seem to come in apk form so I am clueless on how to flash them in.

I just ran 2.23 and it still does the same.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SkyLK:
Install SuperSU with Recovery.Iconia Kernel limits write /system.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vasdf:
How do I do that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swing4thefence:
In order to flash it via recovery you have to have am unlocked boot loader and custom recovery using fire diamond's method.

Hi All,

I have installed bootloader + CWM on my Iconia B1-A71 , but now I'm not able to root it...

System.img file for RV04RC04 is not downloadable (I have tried primary and mirror) , I have also tried to install RV05RC05, but seems that is not working , or I'm not able to do it...

I have:

copied ZIP file into MicroSD

Turned on tablet to start CWM with microsd inside

Select "Update from SDCard"

Select zip file inside microsd

message told me "Installation complete"

Reboot tablet

After reboot in System Information I still have RV04 kernel version....

I have made something wrong???

also, after using toolkit software, how I can check if it's done correctly?

Thanks

Edit: During upgrade from SD Card I read this log:

Hi Wbrambley, Yes, is a Gen1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wbrambley:
OK, are you trying to install stock Acer rom with CWM recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Brambell4:
Mmm... Yes, I'm trying to install this: RV05RC05

And first I have installed this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55501253&postcount=53
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wbrambley:
In the files you downloaded to unlock boot loader and flash CWM, there should be another folder with the stock recovery in it. Flash in the same way you applied the CWM recovery.

This is the only way to flash an official rom.

Maybe also someone with a rooted tablet like yours will be willing to upload a CWM backup of the /system partition and help you or that way.

Edit: yep it's there, /rescue/recovery-sign. Img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Brambell4:
So,

If I have understand well, I must recover the original CWM and than apply the R05 update?

Is that right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wbrambley:
Yes, put back the original stock recovery. You can always change back to cwm later.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Brambell4:
Sorry... I was sure that I have already replied...

Anyway, It work, thanks for Your help !!!!

I have just another question now :)

Device is rooted, but I'm not able to install Supercharger V6, when I start it on tablet, it doesn't ask me to execute as root (I have SuperUser installed, and root checker told me that I have a rooted device)...

Do You have any idea???

Or better, there's a custom rom for this tablet??
