Open windows device manager

Check this command in fastboot / droidboot mode

fastboot oem startftm

You should get a msg fail to many links or something like that at this point the device should be unresponsive to hardware keys.

Now check windows device manager and see if it still shows an android device if so try

adb devices

to see if it shows your device if so try

adb shell

if not long press power to turn the device off

My Dell Venue 7 is based off the same chip as well

1. got something different, it is unresponsive at this point though View attachment 2842048

2. then i adb devices, now no longer can see the device, yet still appear in device manager

3. then i adb shell anyway, device not found

at this point i can still see it in device manager, it never dissapeared from device manager

then i turned off

I think this is the easiest way to root any Acer Iconia A1-830:

Rootgenius

Did you confirm that rootgenius is working on this tablet though? My google search also found this tool, but I saw a post by someone saying even though he used the tool, he didn't have root access. Just wondering if this is a sure thing or work in progress.

Help

I have some question here if anyone can help me with.

I have the build number: Acer_AV052_A1-830_1.013.00_GC_GEN1

and the Image version: Acer_AV052_A1-830_RV06RC06_GC_GEN1

My question is: What is the different between GC_GEN1 and WW_GEN1? and Does it matter while rooting the tablet?

I actually know it is some sort of district or region code. I bought this device a few days ago while I was travelling in China. and there is also another difference appears in the image version: ROV06RC06(you guys have RV07RC05), what does this mean?

Forgive me for asking so many questions. :P but I really want to know and really need to root my device, since it is bought in China. I don't even have google play. This kind of freak me out. XD

Thanks so much to whoever can help me explain it a bit or point me a direction where I can find this stuff. :D

Check under Windows Device Manager to see if it shows your device . . . under ADB Interface or Other Devices with a caution sign

I've added the language codes No translations just the codes, but before i upload i'd like to figure out what is going on with your installation in case i need to add additional device board support to the driver. . .

Everything is right.
[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
and that's while the device is in droidboot mode can i see a screenshot of myKIT_BATCH where it hangs. . . .

looking at that, that's not droidboot driver the device shouldn't connect as adb, mtp or adb, ptp under droidboot / fastboot. try uninstalling the adb driver
[General Questions and Answers] Finokas:
Nothing happens.
[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
And the device shows droidboot on the screen?

It doesn't seem that its rebooting to fastboot

Make Sure you kill any instance of adb you might have started before running myKIT try swapping USB cables and ports. . .

hmm. . . you're not running in a virtual machine on top of Linux or OS X are you?

What does adb shell give you?

sorry for the inconveniences. . . . . if you already download please be respectful and not share. . ..
[General Questions and Answers] sunzaolive:
I actually encountered the same thing when I was trying the code: "fastboot devices"

But I fixed it.

here is the steps:

1) I see you can run "adb devices" right?

2) After the terminal shows the device with some numbers, type in "adb reboot-bootloader", then the device will reboot and bootloader shows up.

3) Go back to your windows, open device manager, perhaps there will be a yellow caution mark appears for the device(that was my case at least :D)

4) (I don't know how did you get you use-driver done, but I did the google standard way.) I assume you have already installed android SDK and the google use-driver sort of things. If not, there are many instructions you can find some where else. :P Sorry, I am a bit lazy here.

Right-click the caution marked device and click "update driver software..."

5) --> Browse my computer for driver software --> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer --> have disk --> Browse... --> (where you put the android SDK) in my case it is "D:\Android\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver".

6) I have three models appear here, "Android ADB Interface", "Android Bootloader Interface", "Android Composite ADB Interface". Choose the Android Bootloader Interface since your device is on bootloader state right now, then click next, i think there was some warning jumped out, but i ignored it like always. XD

Now you should be able to play with "fastboot" commands such as "fastboot devices."

Hope my method to fix my problem can help you out as well. :D good luck!

[General Questions and Answers] remmian:
While anxiously awaiting news of the root script... I'd like to ask a question.

One of the reasons to root is to install a custom ROM. But since it hasn't been rooted yet... no custom ROMs yet.

So until someone writes a custom ROM (hopefully with SYSTEM back under Settings... something I can't believe Acer omitted from their JB version)....aside from being able to uninstall (HOPEFULLY) the bloatware by having root access, what other advantages will rooting have, working with the ROM Acer supplied?

I'm asking because I'd like the ability to put it to sleep via the software, rather than wearing out the power button. The CM10 custom ROM I had before on another device had a nifty sleep icon in Quick Settings... this Acer ROM doesn't even let you tweak the Quick Settings, muchless provide an instant sleep option. So wondering if root access will allow a hack that could do this? (The "sleep after 5 minutes" etc options are not convenient imo.)
[General Questions and Answers] torrent_2004:
Personally, I like the ability to customize using Xposed modules in addition to uninstall bloatwares.
[General Questions and Answers] remmian:
Never heard of Xposed modules... off to Google that. Thanks for the input.

EDIT: Wow, those look handy! Especially while waiting on a custom ROM. Nice tip!

EDIT #2: Uh-oh. A page here http://www.gogadgetx.com/xposed-framework-install-use-best-modules-list/ on Xposed modules says:

"Compatibility: Right now, around 60% Android devices are running Android 4.0 or newer version of the operating system. Developers have made it compatible for every Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean based firmware, the only clause is that you should be running an ARM processor based hardware. This is really a downtime for old Gingerbread OS and Intel hardware users."

... while a writeup on the Acer says it uses an ATOM rather than an ARM. Sounds like Xposed modules might not work?
[General Questions and Answers] torrent_2004:
It is really gonna be a bummer if it doesn't work at all. I have pretty good luck so far with various tablets and phones, but none are Intel base......hum!

Thanks for pointing this out.
[General Questions and Answers] remmian:
Doing more digging and found this reference here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401/page1210 which is pasted below. Followed the link but am too ignorant of Android to know what I am reading or if it answers anything.... but I can't imagine someone isn't working on making Xposed compatible with ATOM-based devices.

A good omen. I am getting the impression it depends on the device... some work, some don't... some lag, or get caught in boot loops. Hopefully we'll be lucky with the Acer.

Even with ARM base, not all modules / features are working for all ROM.

These are strictly software base so backing / turning off not working features is not that hard.

Once the Acer gets rooted I'm sure there will be plenty of Xposed fans trying modules out, so we'll see how it goes. Maybe it will be pretty compatible in general. We can hope..!

how to fix:

[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
What version of Windows? Did you install the driver?

Open up windows device manager I suspect the driver didn't install and you have an android device showing under unknown devices with a yellow caution symbol.
[General Questions and Answers] escavi:
Version 8 (not 8.1) I do not have the exclamation mark on the device manager. I am in the correct mode as I did do the change my PC settings on the reboot to allow drivers to be installed. It shows that it installed correctly on the wizard with the green check mark for Google. I even made sure I unplugged the device to install the driver. I've tried it like 5 times now, both resintalling the driver while the device is plugged in and not.

My BATCHKIT program shows everything running correctly because it is green. I still get stuck on the same waiting on device. I may try my windows xp machine next.
[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
