A1-830 Rooting Problems 4.4.2

I just tried rooting without taking the new 6mb update and was unsuccessful on my A1-830. I updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 yesterday and attempted to root today. I have not taken the 6mb update that became available today.

I only have linux on my computers, therefore I had to borrow a Win 7 64 bit laptop to attempt this.

1) I prepped the laptop by installing sdk-platform-tools and the USB drivers from the Acer site.

2) Then I extracted myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x.7z into a folder of its own.

3) I next placed myKIT_BATCHv1.1.2d_PATCHKIT and SDC_INTEL2_ROOTKIT into the mykit-downloads folder without extracting them.

4) I started the mykit run-me.bat file by double clicking on it.

5) I updated the adb driver using the first menu item.

6) I returned to the intial menu, connected the device, and then advanced to the mykit main menu. I noted by the header that the patchkit had been applied and the ADB status as on-line.

7) I clicked through the A1) Rootkit menu and then selected the R2) SuperSu option. I did select the SDC_INTEL2_ROOTKIT option.

8) The program went as far as the REBOOT4ROOT screen. The device rebooted to DroidBoot at this time and nothing changed for as long as I was willing to wait. See attached mykit-waiting and acer-ai-830-fastboot images.

9) I checked to see if the su binary and/or supersu had been installed to /system/xbin, they had not. I also checked snagged a copy of getprop in the off chance it would assist in getting this device rooted. See attached ls-getprop.txt file.

10) I downloaded chainfire's SuperUser from the play store, it also gave a message that the su binary was not installed.

11) I repeated the above steps several times with the same results.

Any assistance would be appreciated. I am pretty sure [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] monitors this thread.

Should I attempt to sideload the su binary from my own laptop?

I guess I should not have been so smug in referring others to the MyToolKit thread.
[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
The fastboot driver didn't install correctly is my best guess check windows device manager its been the most common issue with the Acer with my root method it gets installed sometimes as an adb driver and needs to be a bootloader driver. Its been cover a few times in this thread.
[General Questions and Answers] dawgdoc:
Would it be best to reinstall it through the MyKit bat file or to open the fastboot.exe directly?

I don't recall installing, I only recall installing the adbd file. Did I miss that one?

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

@social-design-concepts I tried re-installing the adb drivers again. Initially, like before, from the first menu that pops up. At the end the dialog window stated that the Google drivers were ready to use. This was the same message I had previously seen. Going on to the MyKit Menu I selected the E1 option to install the drivers. The process took long than it did from the first message, and the popup dialog was slightly different but with essentially the same meaning. I rebooted the computer as directed. Restarting the MyKit batch file proceeded as before and stopped at the same point.

I was looking into the launcher.bat file and am tempted to issue each of the fastboot commands in the :ROOT_TOOL section while on my linux laptop. I have used adb shell from it to reboot_bootloader, so I know it will put the tablet into fastboot mode. I hesitate because I have not used fastboot for anythiing but to test it htat much. I would hate to make a mistake in the relative path of the commands, not being sure if they would be identical in linux.
[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
I'll try to do a pictorial for you on updating the driver after my daughter goes to sleep.

And if you manage to get the fastboot driver to work on Linux please share people have been trying to get it to work for the Intel Device for close to a year now.

Root Acer Iconia A1-830

Guys I find a way to root our Acer Iconia A1-830 but there is a situation. You can not update your tablet to android 4.4.2. Android 4.2.2 is the right version. And I dont know how to do downgrade unfortonatelly. But if you got the android 4.2.2 go to this link: htt ps: / /ww w .yout ube.c om/watch?v=Yzw BQDnDF24 and that's go works. Works to me. :)

In the video they're showing my original rootkit for 4.2.2 but the part you wanna pay attention to is the part where they correct the fastboot driver in windows device manager

Use the SDC_INTEL2_ROOTKIT
[General Questions and Answers] dawgdoc:
I'll give that a look once I get to a faster internet connection.
[General Questions and Answers] dawgdoc:
Checked out the video, it's in Italian (?) but conveys the point. It gave me the information I needed to get my A1-830 rooted. The popup dialogs that occur when updating the Android Device drivers have changed but should be easy for others to follow.

I guess it shows that it has been years since I used Windows, and have never owned a computer with Win7 or Vista installed.
[General Questions and Answers] dawgdoc:
I would recommend accepting this last update of 6.3 mb before rooting.

I updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and then rooted my A1-830, with help from social-design-concepts and Professional Hacker. I confirmed root was working. earlier today I accepted the recent update from Acer and found I had lost root. Root was not restored with a reboot. Root was easily restored using MyKit by s-d-c.

To avoid this I generally freeze bloatware apps with TiBU instead of removing them, at least initially. They may come off later, once I am sure there are no incompatibilities.

google framework issue

Hi guys:

I have some questions related to Iconia a1-830.

My device was bought in China while i visited my parents during summer. so unfortunately, there is no google service framework or any google things in the tablet. That gives me a good reason to root tho. :P

But here is the question. I did root the device when it was JB 4.2.2 using the method, then simply copy and paste the google stuffs to the desired folder, that worked pretty well. (thank you again social-design-concept, hope things went well with your family.) Now i upgraded to KK 4.4.2, i can root/unroot using the additional tool, but google services wont work anymore. i tried for a while but nothing happened so far.

Anyone has any suggestion about my issue? What if i just flash the ROM social-design-concept posted before? will it help? i am afraid I have little knowledge about fastboot commands, I am trying it atm. hope someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance. :D

Acer A1 830 Flashing

Hi,

Can you please tell me how to flash system.img? I am flashing with My bat. I keep getting this error message about sparse file max download limit reached. How can I increase it? The image will not flash as it is too large when extrated.
[General Questions and Answers] dawgdoc:
In the comments I have seen through this thread people are directed to NOT extract the image file. You use fastboot commands to load the image. This post can be used as an example. Take note that uses the image file name of a different device as an example.
[General Questions and Answers] vt-xda:
I successfully rooted my A1-830. It's very important that you follow the Mykit instructions exactly, word for word. It has been done, it can be done, and you need to be able to follow those instructions.

I see the same questions repeated in this thread several times, especially for one particular problem. So one more time, a clarification of this most common issue:

If Fastboot is stalling and you are using adb under Windows to connect to and flash the tablet, the likely cause is that the computer is using the wrong adb device drivers, even though the Mykit script loaded the correct ones into Windows. Loading them in doesn't mean they are actually being used.

It's possible that other similar drivers were loaded earlier with an installation of adb, and Windows then made a choice of the wrong driver over the correct one loaded by Mykit. You can fix this by manually specifying to Windows which driver you want it to use when accessing the tablet through adb.

To do this you go into the device manager and look for the adb device, open it and look at the drivers. You will likely see two or three driver possibilities with only one selected. Change the selection to fit the appropriate driver, and then ADB will be able to connect properly to the tablet, and perform the flash.

Hope this helps.

Bootloop

I am stuck at boot screen with this acer tablet can you help me please??

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] dawgdoc:
I'm going to assume you have tried to reboot already.

Not knowing how your system made it to this state, my next thought is to suggest a factory reset. You can get to recovery mode after turning the device off by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time. Recovery mode will allow you to factory reset. If you have already tried this I would next suggest reinstalling the stock rom. Look on the MyKit thread by social-design-concepts. You can find links to that thread within the last page or three of this thread.
