I'm stuck too

PLEASE HELP....I am stuck at the 'FASTBOOT CMD WAITING...' screen as well. I saw a message on my PC that said driver install failed, but didn't see which driver it was. When I look in Device Manager, I don't see any Unknown Devices. I do see 'Other Devices' -> Android-Phone, which I presume is the Acer since I don't have another Android phone. I tried to update the driver to this device like you recommended (point it to C:\Users\rburroug\Downloads\myroot\myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x\mykits\driverKIT\ADB\usb_driver), but it said "Windows could not find driver software for your device. Not sure what to do or if I can even disconnect the device.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] torrent_2004:
Did you try Finokas' way to load driver?

The system didnt pick the right driver for me either - I had to pick one,

how to fix:

1) Tablet reboots to droidboot

2) Open Device manager, yellow caution mark -> Update driver -> Browse my computer... -> Let me pick ... -> Android Device -> Android Bootloader Interface

3) myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x runs a lot of code, and black screen, and again.

4) Open Device manager, yellow caution mark -> Update driver -> Browse my computer... -> Let me pick ... -> Android Device -> Android Bootloader Interface

5) Tablet reboots

6) Rooted.

Thank you so much!!! That worked. I read that earlier, but didn't realize it was the same issue I was having.

I haven't done this before, so I have a dumb question. Now that it is rooted, how do I use su permissions (to remove bloatware)?
[General Questions and Answers] torrent_2004:
There are quite a few apps out there on Play store to remove them - Choose as you please

1) ROM customizer

2) system app uninstaller

3) system app remover

So it seems that this device wants the driver as Bootloader Interface then, I'll put a patch for the driver for the acer up tmrw to see if it helps new users. . .

Before users go to crazy removing bloatware if you could wait I'll have a tool up soon that will dump the boot, recovery, fastboot and system images and tool to flash them to the device soon. I'm not sure how your devices ota updates work but if it use patch incremental updates deleting stuff from /system could break your ability to install otas.

I have dumps from the original device I rooted but I've not looked into it yet to unroot it and clean up the garbage from root genius

What version of android are these device? I know 4.2.2 but is 4.3 and 4.4.2 out for this device yet? Besure to let me know when otas come out I don't own this device I own a different Intel tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] snmb95:
Thanks again for your efforts and looking forward to your update. I think I may want to revert back and wait on it.

How do you unroot and restore to the original factory image?

Is is too late if I didn't make a backup of the image? I think the uninstaller I used said they were all in the recycle bin.

I actually have another A1-830 that all I did was login to with the google account at startup. If I wanted to restore it, could I back up the new one and restore the rooted one with the other image?

One odd thing I noticed, the one I rooted makes a keyboard click sound when I hold in backspace and the unrooted one doesn't. Any idea why this would be different? (It's a minor difference, but didn't see a setting for it and don't think I changed anything that should have caused it.)

Problems after Rooting

Hi all,

I managed to root my Acer Iconia A1-830 and started to remove bloatware apps from my tablet. However it seems like I overdid it a little... Playstore App is not working anymore. I just cannot hook up to my GMail account. Also the homescreen button is not working. Factory reset does not work either. Any idea what I could do to fix this? Unfortunately I failed to properly backup my device before rooting it.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Droidkook

What is the software version
[General Questions and Answers] Droidkook:
Thanks for trying to help me out here!

Android Version is 4.2.2

Kernelversion: 3.4.34

ImageVersion: Acer_AV052_A1-830_RV07RC05_WW_GEN1

Build Number: Acer_AV052_A1-830_1.014.00_WW_GEN1
[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
I'll have to double check the images I dumped off the first Acer I manually rooted, I know its 4.2.2 WW_Gen1 just not sure on the software revision. It will be linked soon when i post the flash utility for myKIT_BATCH Can you get me the the out put of getprop from the shell. I need some info for device and condition checks. . .

Also need the KitKat ota when some one has it...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidkook:
Please find attached the requested getprop output.
[General Questions and Answers] stapler85:
sorry my bad, the previous link to acer forum indicates the thread is for A1-810 and no user within confirmed it also applies to 830 so 4.4 OTA is probably still pending

i was very careful with bloatware ripping unfortunately it seems i somehow still fell victim to killing the OTA function, it appears to have connection with some of the Acer apps which upon removal will FC the update function. so here's hopes for a clean img rip and recovery tools :highfive:

im also on Acer_AV052_A1-830_1.014.00_WW_GEN1 which is the last known worldwide OTA for a1-830

question: does anyone know if factory reset will unroot?

try manually installing a gapps package apks, google it

off my head it includes couple of apks (google services framework, google services manager, playstore etc)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidkook:
Found gapps for 4.2.2 here wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps and pushed the package on my device using

adb.exe push gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip /sdcard/

At this point I can see this file also on my tablet using the "Rootbrowser" app.

Then when booting into recovery mode to apply the zip file using

adb.exe reboot recovery

I select the option "apply update from external storage", but no files show for selection. :(

Anybody has an idea why the file fails to show up?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidkook:
Thanks a lot!! This worked out nicely!!

I downloaded the file using your link directly on my tablet, extracted it using the "Rootbrowser" app and also ran the extracted files via the "Rootbrowser" app. Turned out the only package missing was the "Google Account Manager" App. The others did not install (just got the message "App not installed"). After that the Playstore app started up fine and I was able connect it to my GMail account.

Could not get the "Home" button to work yet, but I can live with that. :)
[General Questions and Answers] leandroqm:
What ROMs are you guys using?

Did you stick to the stock ROM or are you using a different one?

My friend bought one Iconia A1 830 in China, which means she can't use some Google Services, even when apks are sideloaded for some reason.

I'd like to help her on unlocking and installing another ROM.

Any ideas on which ROMs are available or how to unlock the bootloader?
[General Questions and Answers] social-design-concepts:
If someone could provide me with some info?

1 . With your tablet disconnected / not plugged into your computer power the tablet off

2 . next plug your tablet into your computer and wait for the charging animation to start.

3 . after the charging animation starts start myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x and proceed to the main menu.

4 . if your device shows as adb-online choose option 4 to start an adb shell.

5 . in the adb shell window type getprop

6 . copy and past the output for me

Thank you in advance . . . I need to collect this information to complete the patch / flash utility.

I must be VERY dumb

Hey guys, thanks for all those indications. The script runs veeeery smoothly, it's indeniable.

Nevertheless, I have the same problem as (some) other people : the process is stuck at the "fastboot CMD waiting" step.

I tried to follow the steps above, but I must be very, very dumb : I can't find the driver, and I can't find the "Android Device" (is it a folder ? Where is it located ?) you mentionned ! :D I suppose it's really a small glitch in my understanding of the instructions, soooooo... I would really use a tip !

Thanks !

Hey, thanks for your answer, but the problem is, when I pick the "usb_driver" folder, Windows responds with "Windows coulnd't find any driver for your device"...

My computer is running Windows 7 64bits. I also tried on another on running Windows 7 32bits, same reaction...

How did the other people do to root their device ?

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

I tried something else.

Instead of beginning the whole process with the tablet powered ON, I simply powered it OFF, hoping the device would be recognized by the computer.

The only (big) issue is, the tablet won't even boot into droidboot mode : its screen siply remains black, and nothing happens. On the myKIT Batch script window, the process still waits for the tablet to respond.

I hope it can be useful...

Thanks for your help !

For some reason my camera wont load. It goes to open the camera, does that funky thing with the backlight and then goes black. No picture, no controls.

It freezes and the only way to get it back is to soft reset it.

Ive tried a hard reset, same thing, tried updating the rom and its still the same.

Is there any hope for my poor little mda, just paid out for a brand new cover too :(

I am coming from a heavily done over MOAR 7.1 ROM Boost Mobile Galaxy S3 over to a Sprint Mega 6.3 as I wind up working from my phone a lot and the additional screen size should make it much easier. I ordered a dock charger with dual 3500mah batteries, a kickstand case, micro USB to HDMI cable, screen protector and a car vent clip holder. I know I need to get a bluetooth headset for talking on the drive to work. I currently on my S3 use unlimited VPN and Foxfi with Proxies disabled for when I hotspot would this solution work well on the new phone? Also I was going to use Kingo to do the rooting on the phone. Any tips or tricks I might have overlooked browsing through the forums?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jazz995756:
Yes it should all work. Kingo works with any firmware before the recent one NA7 so if your phone comes with NA7 you have to root with the way outlined below I have verified this work. Back to kingo however I have read reports of people saying there are major security issues with it so I personally would not use it but here are the ibstructions .

01-Download Philz Touch (it is linked in several places but just go to the main thread and

---click on the download link in the thread, which takes you to the file hosting site

---scroll down to his meliusltexx folder...

---and then download the latest Philz touch tar.md5 file

02-Download ODIN if it wasn't already.

--- version 3.07 here.

03-Turn off your phone

04-Put phone in download mode ( home+power+volume down.)

05-Open Odin,

06-Connect phone to PC. Odin should recognize phone in the com section in upper left corner.

07-Select the PDA tab on the right and browse to the recovery you downloaded the tar.md5 file earlier.

08-In the lower left siide, Odin will give info about the recovery file.

---If it says MD5 is invalid, your download is likely corrupt, so re-download it.

---If the file is valid, then...

09-Now hit the start button and Odin will flash the recovery. After flashing, Odin will auto-reboot the system.

10-Turn phone off and unplug from your computer.

11-Boot into recovery (home+power+volume up,) to verify that Philz recovery is in fact installed.

12-Once the recovery loads, hit restart system, and the recovery will offer to root the device.

13-Select yes.

14-Restart system.

15-Verify root with root checker.

Make sure you root while you are on MK1 because NA7 will not take Root. Don't let the phone do it's update when you activate it. Root MK1 then if you want to update follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2674229

So here we go again...

I tried using Odin to get back to stock but, Odin just kept crashing

every time I tried loading the 'MD5' file. I tried multiple versions as well..

Then I realized even though the computer would say Odin was

'Not Responding' I continued to wait, and finally it loaded the MD5!

So I went ahead and tried going back to stock, but when I did

every stock MD5 file causes my device to close

Google Play, Google Location, and SystemUI rapidly...

I was able to get my original Recovery in there and restore a backup,

but I'd really like to try and go back to stock for a bit and start fresh.

What the heck in the world is going on with my phone?!

I thought Odin was my safety net, here to help me, but

instead I'm getting more and more hassle trying to get it workin'...

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
What firmware are you on? What version of Odin are you using? Perhaps try using a different version. Also use original usb cable not universal one. Seems to make a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blankingblank:
So the flash was successful but when booting up u get FC's correct? If that is the case then I would guess it's because u didn't wipe data/factory reset preflash. Doing this from recovery should solve ur problem if I understood u right
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Adizzzle:
Im on MK6 originally, on Pac ROM

While I figure all this out…

I have used every 'newer' version

of Odin available and am using the

Original cable..

So Odin doesn't wipe / factory reset

on its own?

The first time I forgot to wipe but

every other time Im sure I wiped in

recovery before hitting up download

mode.

I did make a ROM using NC1

firmware and added KT kernel to

it. The ROM was a dud and that's

why I wanted a fresh start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blankingblank:
The way I understand it there are 2 types of Odin flashable fws: full wipe and no full wipe. Full wipe fws are the ones that come in separate parts, i.e. BL, AP, CP etc. and no full wipe fws are the complete tar.md5 files. I recently went back to stock to get a fresh start as well and had the same issue with FC's on boot up. Factory reset fixed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Adizzzle:
So I was using an .md5 file, therefore Odin

wasn't able to fully wipe my S4?

Well it sure didn't work last time I tried..

I can get the phone to boot but Wifi remains

locked in the off position and my baseband

remains at MK6 when I was trying to flash

the 4.4.2 NC1 build.. :eek:

Could this be due to the KT kernel I

flashed before trying to restore?

I flashed the Kernel before all this

happened, then realized the kernel

dropped my wifi, so that's why I tried

restoring to stock, but the wifi still

drops on me after odin'ing back to

stock…
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blankingblank:
Ya that's what I used too. I just formatted all the individual partitions first using philz to be sure I got a clean start. Also, if u wanna try it, the leaked NC1 firmware that dropped right before the official OTA's came out, I think that was a 'full restore' fw as it came in 4 sections.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

There is a boot.img inside the stock fw if I'm not mistaken, and that should overwrite anything you've done to /boot (where the kernel lives).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Adizzzle:
So if I understand this correctly I have a couple of options one of them being I do the full firmware update using the 4 files provided from the leak. Or somehow install the boot.img and that should fix the wifi drop issues?
