I read somewhere in the Samsung GTab section that the SU question was related to the age of the CWM involved. On some of my other tabs I went to TWRP 2.7 (2.8 is out now) after running an old CWM there too. On those tablet answering the question positively yielded a non-working su, so I am a bit careful on letting CWM fix this issue... Going for NO still let su / root do its work fine, therefore I called it a moot question.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

The /system mount is not related to root/su but to internal kernel code, related to the mount implementation in the kernel. [MENTION=2109242]twu2[/MENTION] tried a work-around, getting a dynamic module installed, but that did not work under KitKat as the code has changed from a simple string-compare (to '/system', JB workaround was using '/system/' instead) to a substring compare (or even more complex coding), thwarting all our simple work-around efforts.

We will need to still wait for the KK source-code for Iconia A/B to find out what they did and how to work around this stupid restriction. But for KK the current work-around, be it not completely handy to use, is to go via CWM mount/adb access. I know it is not the best or cleanest solution, but it is better than nothing at all, or we could work with [MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION]'s method of pulling a system image and working on that via a loop mount. Again not the best way, but still... With root active we could even do all stuff locally on the tab via a rooted session via terminal emulator. But that is just my fancy...

busybox installed on A1-810 via CWM

I know it has been posted before, but we can do quite some things, related to /system, when CWM has been installed on the Iconia A/B.

Just now I installed busybox onto /system/xbin. Below is a short guide how I did it. This means quite some other programs can be installed in the same fashion. Possibilities are endless...

Get busybox for your processortype (busybox-armv7l) from busybox.net downloads (rename to busybox)

Boot your Iconia into CWM recovery mode

Mount /system and /data via the mount options of CWM

Connect your Acer (driver Troubleshootting see elsewhere) and open an adb session from your favourite desktop

On desktop: Do "adb devices" to see if your tablet is visible. For Troubleshooting see elsewhere

On desktop: Optional if not yet done: "adb push busybox /data/tmp/local" (mind you: you might need to create this directory path)

On desktop: Do an "adb shell" (you will directly go into su-mode because of CWM)

On desktop (in adb shell session): Do "cd /data/local/tmp" followed by "chmod 755 busybox"

On desktop (in adb shell session): Do "./busybox cp ./busybox /system/xbin"

On desktop (in adb shell session): Do "cd /system/xbin" followed by "chmod 755 busybox" (just to make sure)

On desktop (in adb shell session): Now do "./busybox --install -s /system/xbin" to 'install busybox' (symlinks) and you are done

Unmount /system and /data via the mount options of CWM

Reboot Iconia via CWM menu options

Note: For steps 6 and 8 you can substitue with your personal preference if you would rather do it somewhere else...

That's it... You might need to remove older busybox installs if you ever got here, but if you already have busybox, why bother doing the above?

Hope this helps you getting "Schtuff" installed on /system without having to do all kinds of difficult things...

-- EDIT --

If you do not want to do all of the above steps, there are busybox zip-files about, which can do this work for you, but please make sure you get the correct busybox (ARM V7) and latest version.

For running adb on your windows machine you only need 3 files and a dos-prompt in the directory of the 3 extracted files. I have attached a zip with the 3 required files for running adb against your machine (but you will need to install the appropriate drivers for your tablet first!). Good luck and happy adb-ing.

P.S. I 'borrowed' those files from the Acer Iconia Toolkit, made by [MENTION=3392632]entonjackson[/MENTION]...

Is that A Acer Iconia A1 810 Or some other Device Please Let Me Know :good:
[Android General] Just_Another_N00b:
I know, I have looked at quite a few of them, but not all were complete, and some using an older version of busybox. This way the most recent version can be installed. Deinstalling is going to be more work. I am looking into that. I might create a zip myself, but as everybody else is doing that too, why bother?

Is Your Camera Working Mines Not Seems Like a Internal issue When i sent it to Acer Service Center Months Before Since Then No Front Camera Access :fingers-crossed:

So I thought You to :highfive:

By the Way The Latest Version Of Flash able Version of Busybox Is 1.22.1 If You Get A Newer Version Please let me Know :good:
[Android General] wbrambley:
I found the issue with my camera was it was not plugged into the PCB after the main board was changed by a repairer.

I unclipped everything on top, undid the screws and lifted the edge by the camera. The plug clipped back into place nicely and everything has been fine since.

PS, photo sphere works well.
[Android General] Calingo:
Thanks man you are the boss I will try it by tonight :good:
[Android General] Calingo:
Have you opened your tab and tried fixing the problem it can be a internal issue.

Did you ever send your tab for repairimg to the service center then it can be for sure that the camera is unplugged you just have to plug it :good:

Are Your A1 810 Speakers Working Fine Cause My Speakers Are Not .. I am looking For Some Alternative Speakers of the same size Like From some Other Phone :good: :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] wbrambley:
Yes, my speaker works well. I think it even has a little more volume since kk.

Check the plug? Its very tiny.

On that subject, have you ever seen a flashable version of Viper4Android that installs and sets drivers at the same time?

I been looking but all found don't install drivers, just app.

Edit: you say speakers ( more than one) and so do some web sites, I only have one.
[Android General] spljaa:
Nice. Can similar fix be applied to A1-811 version? Is there some way I could help with that?

[Android General] Shreps:
I only tried flash a zip (SuperSU), and was ok

Didn't had time to test Nandroid Backup or Restore (because it's not my tab :p)

If you can feedback, would be great

Yes, it should be possible.

I can try to repack it for A1-811 too if you can provide me :

- /system/build.prop

- a stock unsigned boot.img from JB (and not Kitkat) (can be read back using SP Flash Tool from a tablet running the JB firmware)

If I found some free time, I will also try to make the external sdcard works on CWM 6.0.5.0 (would be better, using a KK kernel), but not so easy :/
[Android General] Shreps:
@ French people

I made some A3-A10 guide on the french Acer forum here : http://acer-club.fr/viewforum.php?f=227

This can be used for the others devices too, like A1-810/811 and B1-710/A71

[MENTION=5484948]Calingo[/MENTION], you can add this to FP if you want (and also updates infos which are some wrong + add the new files available)
[Android General] spljaa:
Ok, build.prop attached.

I do not have device running JB. I have on disk some update.zip file from Acer. Which does contain something like boot.img inside.

From file SDs_Acer_A1-811_AV052.RV00RC00_AV052.RV01RC11_WW_GEN1. I can not tell if it is same boot.img you ask for,

Whole update can be probably taken from acer site. I can put extracted boot.img if it could help

Can't Unlock / Can't Root

Hello everyone, I'm having problems unlocking and rooting my Acer A1-810 tab.

Version: 4.4.2

Image Version Acer_AV0K0_A1-810_RV0BRC02_PA_CUS1 (I haven't found any img for this one, could it be the problem?)

Well, I follow all the steps but Flash Tools do nothing! Just stays in 0%

I also tried rooting by Stretch and still nothing.

Please, some advice would be appreciated

Thanks

[Android General] spljaa:
My first guess would be missing drivers. As problem description points to device not connected.

Some instructions might be misleading, as they suggest to run x64 exe file on windows. It does not work. I needed to run normal exe to install drivers on my win7x64.

Hi developers.

I have tried root and unlock bootloader with your guide but i got nothing. I also tried with toolkit 0.85 (the program automatically is closed).

I was JB rooted, then unroot. Finally, i updated to KK. I only want to root my iconia A1-810.

What must i do?

Sorry for my bad english.

[Android General] Just_Another_N00b:
Try to find some form of SuperSU.zip via Google (Version 2.02 is at http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/). Put it on your Tab and reboot into recovery mode (CWM). Then load the zip via the menu. This SuperSu script makes sure that the required su daemon is installed too (essential for su under KK).
[Android General] wbrambley:
How did you get on finding a replacement speaker? I've managed to install V4A on the A1-810, does make a difference even on the build-in speaker.

Yet to try it on the HDMI plug, will probably do so tomorrow when the Bathurst 1000 is on.

Bricked A1-810?

Hi there guys!

Very happy to find this topic yesterday here on xda! Great job!!!!

So my story's the following:

I've followed all steps to flash with SFtoll, with exception of one thing correct... I've flashed A3-810 instead of the correct for my A1-810 (JB 4.1.2)!!!! Asshole you can call me, but it was pure sleepy state! Fact of the matter is that the tablet does not turn on, I can't repeat the process with the right firmware as well...

Is it bricked? Or just the battery drain and I should leave it one day charging, and repeat the process with the right firm? When I plug it on my laptop (windows 7), it's identified as A3-810.

Before I do all this process, I've pulled the system.image. Does it help anyway?:eek:

Thnx!
[Android General] wbrambley:
Try pulling the back off it and unplugging the battery for 10 seconds. Then start again with writing the correct files (write memory secuoff.img, download preloader and recovery)

Fingers crossed it works.
[Android General] Moriveon:
[MENTION=1368517]RickySiMo[/MENTION]

There's no firmware for A3-810, maybe you mean A3-A10?

If you flashed PRELOADER block from A3-A10 firmware to your A1-810, I have very bad news for you: looks like your tablet is bricked forever.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laumapu:
Hello, before proceding to explain the problem I have to say a few things:

- the phone I'm gonna talk about is not mine YET, it's a faulty Xperia T I want to purchase if I find a 80% clear and cheap solution. This means I cannot try any idea you give me on it, 'cause I don't have it.

- I'm not a total noob in firmware and hardware fixes, but not yet an expert, so I'd appreciate a few explanations in the procedures you comment.

- I'm Spanish, so don't expect perfect texts from my posts :p

- sorry if a thread exactly like this is already solved, but I couldn't find any clear information about this problem on a Xperia device, so that's why I asked.

Now, the problem:

This Xperia T, as the owner explains, suddenly turned off and never woke up again. When he tries to turn it on it just vibrates, but no image displays. And when he plugs it on a red LED shows up (as if the phone was charging normally), but no more life signs.

Now, these are the fixes I would try:

- reset battery, because the owner is a normal user, and, as the battery is a "non-removable" piece, I don't think he tried to pull it off and on again.

- buy a new battery because this one could be damaged and non-functional.

- jtag is discarded because this happened in a stock rom, with no root, custom recovery, flashing or anything like that.

- get a new (or, at least, functional) motherboard, because this could be sudden death.

So now you could say "if you already know which could be the problem and the solution, then why you ask?". Well, what I'm searching for is opinions, what of those problems I mentioned has the highest likelihood to be the winner, because if you all guys think the most likely problem it could be it's the motherboard, then I won't purchase the phone, because motherboards are terrifically expensive.

So thanks in advance for reading all this :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Does the red LED light stay lit up while charging? Maybe you'd want to google the "rubberband method"; it's for charging the phone when it can't charge on it's own while off.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laumapu:
Yes, the red LED keeps lit up. I've searched for that method and I'll try it if I purchase the phone, thank you so much :)

But what's your opinion about what the problem could be? Or which is the most likely?

EDIT: this is the thread I found about the rubberband trick http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849170, but is it called soft-bricked even when no firmware/modding stuff is involved?

RE-EDIT: ok, yes, even when no firmware/modding stuff is involved (lol)

RE-RE-EDIT: but still, if it's a hardware issue then all those tricks won't work, because there's physical damage, so that's why I asked for opinion x)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
In my opinion, that behaviour is 90% due to a battery that is fried.

A broken battery is not able to supply the power needed for loading the kernel (that's why you don't see Sony logo and you can't recharge).

If you're lucky you can repair that phone with 15 euros for a new original battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laumapu:
ok guys, new information:

Apparently, the owner has way more knowledge about hardware repairing than I have, so we started talking about our ideas about all this thing and he said he already tried to reset battery, and he even replace it with a new one, so the fried-battery theory is discarded. Now I (we) think the problem could reside in the power IC, but that leads to a weld repairing, and I don't have the tools to deal with that.

So the thread is almost closed with this new info, but I still accept suggestions/opinions/ideas/whatever you wanna say, even if you enjoy typing the Macarena, at least we'll laugh with that xp
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
If I were you, I wouldn't buy that phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laumapu:
Now that I know this, buying that phone has lost positions in my what-to-do list, just after the "comb my turtle's hair" thing lol

Thanks for caring :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
What I thought it might be was that the battery wasn't charged. It happened to me once, so I kept the power button pressed while connecting it and after a few hours I was able to use flashtool, and keep in mind that sometimes new batteries don't come charged.

But if that's not the case, then that method won't help you.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squirrelsquisher:
Hello all,

I am having trouble trying to restore my AT&T HTC One M7 back to being functional again. The phone was soft-bricked "somehow" by my ex-wife and have been trying to restore it for the past few months. I have done alot of searching and tried many options but nothing is working so far.

The phone had never been rooted and has no custom roms on it. After it was soft-bricked, I was able to get it unlocked at one point, but stupidly enough I followed some wrong advice on how to proceed from there and relocked the phone. Now I cannot unlock it again in order to try to put TWRP or recovery on the phone to get it working again.

So far I have tried the following approaches to this issue:

1)I tried going through the HTC dev site steps to get a unlock code, but nothing happens on the phone screen even after getting a successful notice in CMD screen. (I tried both the original code and getting a new code)

2)Every time I try to flash it on there also I get signature failures in CMD and nothing happens on the phone.

3)I also tried running a stock RUU app, but after the process beings the final update, I get a usb cable error saying it is unplugged when it is not.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moutansos:
To me that sounds like it might be a corrupt boot loader. You could also try to gain s-off and flash a recovery that way. Rumrunner works well: http://rumrunner.us

If you can s-off it then you can flash an hboot image which should fix the issue. Just go to the hboot section on the rumrunner website. Then install TWRP etc....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkBell:
Your bootloader needs to be locked in order to run the RUU. Boot to bootloader screen and make sure you are in Fastboot. If on Windows, ensure you have adb installed correctly. Open command prompt on Windows with phone connected and type 'Fastboot relock oem'. This should relock the bootloader. From there, you need to make sure you have the correct RUU for your firmware, boot the phone to the main bootloader screen and run the RUU. Let me know if you need more details.
