Thanks for the reply. slimohnr :D And awesome guide there Shreps!

So, after I've done with the 'unbricking', I can just update normally the firmware to the latest version? I heard KK has been released, but didn't have time to check it before it got boot looped. :(
[General Questions and Answers] slimohnr:
Yes OTA will be working normally so you would upgrade to newest version.

Good luck

Haha found a big bug today in android 4.4 on S1. If you use the gesture 'open quick toggles' on epic launcher, you see this haha:

Acer didn't remove the real quicktoggles, but only overwrited it with those ugly toggles :p :p
[General Questions and Answers] slimohnr:
Strange :)

The worst part of Acer's theme for me is lockscreen - but it's no problem you can replace it if you want

Now i use LOKLOK

http://loklok.co/

It's simple but very usefull for me

Ok, any news about upgrade to 5.0 Lolipop :D ?? (just joking ;) )
[General Questions and Answers] ARRRDJ:
Haha okay, yeah for me too! That lockscreen is indeed bull****, why is there this modus:

(see image)

You can not do anything there ;) Normaly you can swipe through your widgets, but Acer removed it.. dumb bastards XD

I use L lockscreen, so I've a android Lollipop experience :p

Haha I was suprised by the fact that we get KitKat, so never ever lollipop for us I think :p

[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Ah, right, you tried to install the new firmwares using the recovery zip updates. Those have a check for the product model and build you have. Just to make sure, what ROM version do you have exactly (Image Version & Build Number)? You can try to download the ROMs that can be flashed using the SP Flash Tool, that does not check for the current ROM (and is therefore much more dangerous, hence my question for your image version & build).

Hi all,

Just to let you know, Acer released OTA last night: AV0K0_RV0SRC04_AV0K0_RV19RC01 (Acer_AV0K0_S510_1.147.00_WW_GEN1). Installed it last night and works fine so far.

It fixes some small specific user issues:

1. Acer Home force close issue

2. Outlook email account force close problem (random issue)

3. User cannot access the Play Store issue﻿

[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Can you post your full image version and build number?
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Found it :). Will ask around and let you know. It's the CUS1 bit that puzzles me. Usually that means it's a customized build for some operator...
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Btw, I don't think it's worth the hassle to move to the WW_GEN1 ROM. If your current ROM is stable enough and doesn't suffer the mentioned issues, I don't think there's anything else/better to justify switching ROMs. Too bad the device is so locked we'll never get CM for it :(
[General Questions and Answers] paugustin:
Hi, CUS1 is not an operator version. It's just a region. EMEA_CUS1 is for Eastern Europe if I remember correctly. The difference will be the integrated languages. CUS1 will offer Russian and other eastern languages that you will not find in EMEA_GEN1 (Western Europe). Version number can vary from one region to the other but it does not mean one is more advanced than the other.

Still no bugfixes :(

Hmm still nog bugfixes in this update. Main bugs I face since the kitkat update:

- recent apps behave slow

- if you open 'recent apps' if there are no apps open, statusbar doesn't dissappear (no full screen) , so you see only half a button.

- statusbar lag if there are notifications

- device behaves very slow if you are downloading an application

- stock toggles aren't removed ( see one of my previous comments)

- floating UI sometimes just disappear at once

Is anyone else facing these problems? Or am I the only one? :p
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
No, I have most of these too. Just got used to them I guess, also because this is the lower budget version of the bigger device (S2 is much faster & better). Note the following thread in which I am trying to get root... more news hopefully soon:

[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Hi Adrian,

That's unfortunate!

Yes, rooting works. At the moment you seem to be the only one interested in it. I have not had a response from [MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION] and therefore started changing the toolkit myself. First did it for the A1-81x tablet, because there was a bigger demand. That works at the moment, so if someone is willing to test it, I can do it for S1 too? Again, my USB port is broken so for S1 I can't test it myself...

Nika.

Hi ladies and gents, just wanted to check if this is ok. Just got a used android from my family to play with (app developer), and currently have Image Version "Acer_AV052_S510_RV10RC01_TWN_GEN1" (Build number 1.057.00). Is it possible for me to flash to oneof the roms listed here?

I am just returning to android after a couple years with windows phones and was comfortable rooting before, but it sounds like there are a few more things to be cautious about. I just want to make sure that if I flash to the "WW_GEN1" rom from my taiwanese rom (assuming that's what TWN is), there won't be any hiccups. Or if there will, what I should do about it.

Thanks!

EDIT: Attaching screenshot here
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Sorry, can't say for sure. I'd expect it to be ok, as far as I know it's the same hardware and just a localized/branded (Taiwanese) ROM. [MENTION=4493088]Shreps[/MENTION], what do you think?
[General Questions and Answers] Shreps:
It will be OK on the hardware part but I don't know if your phone

- is simlocked?

- if there is some restrictions on TWN sku about providers

Anyway, if you want to give it a try, be sure to have the full SPFT firmware to be able to go back, and you should try do flash only boot+system from the ww_gen1 firmware.

That's my pov ☺

Hi Shreps. Can you tell me which OS version for the S1 Root toolkit ? I'm really confuse with it :(
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
The toolkit used to be for Windows OS only and worked on the JB ROMs only. With the KK ROM, please use the "Acer Iconia Toolkit" from UNIX or do it manually. Here is more details:

More help please ? . I'm already download Acer Iconia Toolkit but it seems I don't have the prerooted system.img.gz :(

Can you provide one please ?
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
See the last post of the other topic. At the moment no-one has provided a prerooted system.img so you'll have to root from scratch using unix. Or revert to JB and use the old S1 toolkit from Windows.

EDIT: or do it manually using the steps in my manual guide.
[General Questions and Answers] M3TA||:
Well i'm download the JB Firmware from acer.shreps.fr and revert my acer S1 to JB. But for some reason the root tool still wont work :( Did i use wrong firmware :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Please post the following info:

* Which exact firmware version you are using

* Which exact S1 Toolkit are you using

* What is the error?

* Also: what happens on the screen when you are running the toolkit?
[General Questions and Answers] M3TA||:
The Firmware : Acer_AV052_S510_RV44RB01_WW_GEN1 Firmware

Toolkit : S1_Root-v1.2

The error : Current OS version is not matched.

I can give you some screenshot of the error after i done searching another JB Firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Looking at the code of the S1 toolkit it requires the following OS versions on the device:

Acer_AV052_S510_1.177.00_WW_GEN1

Acer_AV052_S510_1.130.00_WW_GEN1
[General Questions and Answers] M3TA||:
You mean copy one of the OS ? And put it in internal sd card right ?
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
Eh, no, your phone needs to be installed with one of these OSs. Please see the French thread mentioned by [MENTION=4493088]Shreps[/MENTION], here:

When your phone does not have one of those OSs it will not be possible to use the Root S1 toolkit.
[General Questions and Answers] M3TA||:
But the instruction said copy the 1.130 or 1.770 to the internal , exactly as i did but it won't copy somehow :(. And also what do you mean install it ? is there any tools for that too ?
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
There's two things:

1. Your device must be 1.130 or 1.177 - otherwise the tool won't work (the tool checks for that version)

2. You need to have the system.img of 1.130 or 1.177 before you run the tool (the tool uses that version to restore it to system as that img contains the rooted stuff)

And if you can't copy 1.130 or 1.177 to the sdcard of the device, what is the error?
[General Questions and Answers] M3TA||:
Turns out the error was my S1 driver didn't installed properly :p so i reinstalled and it works :D . The instruction says the system will automatically flashed but the tool still detected wrong OS any idea why ?
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
What build-number do you see in your Settings - About? Please post a screenshot :)

Here it is. Also do i need to flash the system or not ?

EDIT : firmware version : Acer_AV052_S510_RV86RC06_WW_GEN1
[General Questions and Answers] nikagl:
That Acer_AV052_S510_1.273_WW_GEN1 and therefore the S1 toolkit won't work. You need to downgrade to 1.177 (AV052_S510_RV47RC01_WW_GEN1) or 1.130 (AV052_S510_RV30RC02_WW_GEN1) and try again.

Plz help

The branch Asus is treating us like a dictator with this device. Too hard root for me. I need a simillar to this device that is:

* EASY to flash with apps like xposed, ogyoutube (system/app), hosts file, ADB, xposed edge, xsuite, optionally cwm unlocked bootloader and RW fix. I would have been flashing the OS every time I needed sth new in system folder.

* Not need to flash device every time its booted due to S–Way – i would buy sth cheap and save my money for windows laptop (I am fan of windows btw, best OS ever)

*Installing the other OSes is optional, ringing and sms is optional

*It has 3G

* Can be android 4.0 or CyanogenMod

*Is solid (like this phablet), dont need to solder a power button every month (like in A1–811 – amazing otherwise...).

*Price: "150$" max, I prefer sth available in Poland.

Now the question:

Its possible to flash a PRF–alike made rom with all stuff instead of trying to root it directly? ROM links, exact linux build?

Then flashing this modified img with our tool.

In order to have a proper rooted system for Single SIM, we need a full dump of you system and then, we might be able to generate a modified system.img for Acer_AV052_S510_1.105.00_WW_GEN1S

If you're familiar with Android SDK tools you can try to :

- Make a directory on your PC, for example : C:\AcerS510\1.105.00_WW_GEN1S

- Enable USB debug on your device

- and type in cmd :

adb pull /system C:\AcerS510\1.105.00_WW_GEN1S\

Wait until everything is pulled, check if there is no error in your console, make a zip of the directory and provide us this zip ;)

Hi

With 1.130.00_WW_GEN1, everything is OK

With 1.177.00_WW_GEN1 Root is ok, but Acer has patched the system and /system can't be mount in RW anymore. That's why you can't push files in /system for now

It's risky

You have a risk of bootloop

A rooted system should be flashed only over a ROM from the same version.
