Extra info for image with RW workaround

Anton, you put the link of the system image with RW ability on the first post. Nothing bad about that but people need to be aware that some app wont work well without extra configuration. You can add an extra info or just link my post

ie : Titanium Backup must use system busybox (pref / conf if troubles (bottom)/use system busybox)

They do not complain with that usefull information... I guess

Thx

Damn, I try to update my A1 from Poland to RV18RC07 but my tab says it's illegal on my device :/ I don't know why :/ Is there a way to manually update system to RV18RC07 using some kind of zip file? I can't find it anywhere :/

EDIT: I tried to install it after rooting, no success, than I tried to unroot using Toolkit unroot function - didn't help and than I wrote untouched system.img from first post and it seems to fix the problem.

I think it's good idea to extract untouched image of RV18RC07 just in case for future OTA updates if such problems are common.

EDIT2: IT WORKS! I used an image with SuperSU and TB and it works! Geeez, thanks you guys!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME.

And now I have a small question - for people using Flipboard - does it work good on your A1 in normal mode (not landscape)? In both modes, combined view of messages works but when I enter to specified message i get just a picture, no text and about 100 blank pages. It works if I flip it to landscape mode, strange. It worked on other, very cheap and crappy tablet and on my SGS3 and 4. Strange :)

I've try to root my A1-810 tomorrow with Linux and image with workaround. So, GREAT JOB!!! Very easy and everything work. Clean Master, Quick Boot, Titanium Backup (I can't remove Top HD Games icon) and Adfree work. Superuser work 100% and keep instructions in memory.

Hi All,

My A1-810 is stuck in a bootloop from flashing the rooted system.img.gz. How can I flash back the original stock rom? TIA.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
You cannot.

All you can do is wait for a flashable firmware from Acer. But for now there is none in their download section.

But you could still send it to Acer repair service if you like.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmchan:
Oh i see. Thanks for that information.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
On another forum, one guy took RV18RC07 system image and he applied on his RV03RC08 tablet

then he was stuck in the bootloop

I gave him the update.zip (to update to RV18RC07) and his tablet is now fully functional

If you can, give me all info I need

Which version is your A1-810 ? (RV03RC08 or RV18RC07 ?)

Which image did you apply ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmchan:
my a1-810 version is RV18RC07. I applied the RV18RC07 system.img.gz with /system RW workaround.

what i did was applied the RV18RC07 with root first, then the RV18RC07 system.img.gz with /system RW workaround.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
then you have updated your device before applying the modified image ? (as far as I know all A1-810 are sold with RV18RC07)

In that case, we cannot do something until Acer give firmware image on his website :(

edit: can you check if you can adb your tablet ? do you have acceess to the recovery (volume up+start) ; where did you purchase your A1 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] torq1337:
Ok... Adfree and adaway are not working... Someone has an solution??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
this one works for me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmchan:
i can go to the recovery, but no access to adb in the recovery. i tried to flash through fastboot, but there is a security implemented i think. i brought my tablet in singapore. the initial version is RV03RC08.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Ok lets try to solve that in PM

Look for your messages box
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmchan:
thanks, will wait for your pm. maybe the update.zip will also work for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] torq1337:
Ohh... Thank you but still nothing :((
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
then you probably install a system app (like busybox who was previously installed)

Look like the workaround been crushed

connect adb and check if mount and busybox are always a symbolic link to my script

(it can be easily fixed manualy without effort

Is there ANY custom rom for b1-a71 yet?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DustArma:
We haven't even gotten a custom recovery to work with it yet, so no.

Speaking of, has anyone tried installing CWM using the guide here?

Supposedly it works with any MT65xx device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Just read the first post. Anton has given all informations. Focus on A1-810 paragraph. Be careful, you must have your device updated to RV18RC07.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DeSaNtO:
I Tried it, and its not possible cause my de vice has a primary external storage wich is emulatet Form internal, it tells me.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
What data you're planning to move? I used (but now with this tablet yet) a great tool called GLtoSD and it worked with big games without any problem. And the phone I was using it with also had emulated sdcard like my Acer. Th only minus of this is that application has to be started within GL gui not from shortcut. It worked with Modern Combat, Nova and so on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gradd:
have any one had this problem after rooting, the device couldn be mounted on MTP mode?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LionGreen:
Did you need root for that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmchan:
Thanks to sodaFDoes, my A1 is fixed.

My bad, the apk is corrupted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Den91:
when i try to instal the driver of the tablet, i have this error.

the tablet is plugged... what's the problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
you must have

NO ACER DEVICE plugged

during installation

then, uninstall Acer drivers, reboot and install again

with NO ACER device plugged

Edit: without the translation then :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Den91:
why the french translation? i'm not french :p :)

i try to instal the driver without the iconia B1 plugged, but the error is the same.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
My mistake; your nickname is used by many french players (CS, and BF) :)

Did you reboot your computer, I guess you did. Launch the setup with Admin rights maybe ?

If nothing then I'm out of solution
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Den91:
I reboot my computer. And I've launch the setup with Admin rights and without.

Maybe because I've windows 64 bit?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
It works on XP/Seven (32 and 64 bit)

but I dont know for Win8

Can someone report if drivers works with windows 8 (32 AND 64) ?

Edit: USB drivers seems to have been updated on may 2013. I bet It should work on win8

Edit2 : Can you check in the Control Panel / Devices ... If you see Acer A1... select it and uninstall then reboot and try to install drivers again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
Yes, GLtoSD needs root to operate.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Reno_kun:
Drivers on acer website are newer than those on OP which aren't specially for 810.

Hi, i have tested A1-810 today and it looked like some part of screen is poor quality (not enough transparent) and it's making bright colors look grainy (especially white). "Grains" wasn't moving when i scrolled the website. Is it problem of every A1-810 ? Sorry for my bad English skills and OT.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stu667:
Hello,

Screen quality is ok. It's not perfect but for the price...

Mine has a spot that is a bit brighter in the middle of the screen (1 or 2 mm). You can only see it with white and blue color.

Root is still not working properly. I'm getting a bit tired to download and root as nothing changes really. Always same result.

First, take a deep breath and calm down.

go to recovery

and apply update with that zip file.

Turn off your tablet.

hold Volume Down and Power Button until you're in recovery mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thelous:

so in recovery mode i will be able to see device on computer?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
No. you must put the firmware zip file onto a sd card and plug it into your B1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Den91:
Can someone send the link of the driver?

I try to install it but it doesn't work... maybe I download the wrong driver?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thelous:
ah now i understand

i need do that at home there better computer and can put zip on sd card. can i root firmware which one i download now? and is it possible root with srsroot in supported device list is acer iconia B1-A71 here is link: http://www.srsroot.com/supported i tried srsroot earlier it didnt work and it worked on my phone (samsung galaxy mini now hard bricked because installed wrong custom recovery) and my other tablet (samsung galaxy tab 10.1)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:

Please help me. I rooted my tablet and it said [Errno 22] and now I can't boot it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Can you be more accurate ?

which tablet (A1 or B1) ?

What is your firmware version ?

Which image did you get on the first page ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elmkzgirxp:
Okay. So I used my B1-A71. I have a firmware version of RV05RC05.I used the RV05RC05 system.img.gz. Everything went great. Established ADB Connection, Written busybox, started the telnet server, written the system.img.gz to the cache. But it failed after the writing of the system.img.gz to the cache. It says:

R..........O..........O..........T

(this part showed me some "strings")

[Errno 22] Something like that.

IO Error(I'm sorry if I'm not being too specific. It's because I closed the toolkit.exe after my tablet was bricked)

And then my phone was bricked, can't turn on the tablet. Can't access the recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
You had tablet and phone connected to your PC while running toolkit?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Most of guys doesnt mentions that information. Since 2 or 3 days, there are people that complain about failure and/or error after applying the rooted system image. I am pretty sure they didnt read the first post with all the attention he process requires but... who knows ?

Now, we know that values for patching A1-810 are the same for 8Gb and 16Gb.

Thank you alessio :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entonjackson:
so the errors are not related to 8/16 gb partitions?

then i can remove the info?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elmkzgirxp:
Yes, I had.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
Yep you can :)

I wasnt sure before alessiof89's post but now with the new revelation from .vonpatrick.

Now I'm pretty sure you must add info that only one device should be connected while patching.

As usual, there is a risk as it is a modification of the system partition. Use it at your own risk. I am using this trick since 2 weeks without problem. Feel free to modify/update the script. Maybe an APK why not ?

[MENTION=2847550]sodaFR[/MENTION]

Could it be that the system image with /system RW workaround is causing too much trouble?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NemoKOF:
It is very unsafe because Toolkit accepts all device id's. You should run it only with tablet connected.

I use this image, for my device it works very well here in Poland. Maybe unsafe in other coutries than?

Yep... Poland (PL) is in the list. I guess I'm not too far from the truth :)

info

Hello,

I just bought a acer a1-810 8GB, and I would do the root procedure, but I did not understand a few things ...

When I connect the usb of the tablet to the pc in that mode should be? on, off, or in recovery?

I should perform the procedure from a pc with windows 7 64bit, which of the two images should I use?

thanks in advance

Hi There,

thank you for the reply e scuse me for my bad english. i'm italian.

I've bought a1-810 8GB 1 week ago, here in ITALY. i have update it to last version and now i want to root it because i want to remove some software like McAfee internet security and Others... thank you for info.

it safe to root it from Windows 7 64 bit?

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sodaFR:
My english is not better :)

entonjackson's toolkit works under 7 64bit then there is no problem

Just one important thing : do not connect other Android devices while running the toolkit... Connect only your tablet

Another italian user did it with the same 8Gb A1-810 (read that post) then It should be ok

I think you can ask alessiof89 more informations (in italian if it is more confortable). Then, do not hesitate to give us feedback :)
