Hi,

I recently got a Acer iconia one 10 B3-A30 as a gift. Attempting to root unlocked bootloader but as theres no custom recovery I decided to build one from source but i need to dump the partions for all the relavent data. without root it seems unlikely to dd if a partion. anyone know how i could get enough info without root to build a CWR img from source?

Thanks Rob6.0
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It might be possible for you to use fastboot to boot temporarily boot a CWM or TWRP without actually flashing, this can be done with a recovery that isn't specifically built for your exact model, it won't harm your device because it doesn't flash the recovery onto the device, it only boots and is gone when you reboot.

Hi Rob.

Did you manage to do it? Which is the command to boot with a recovery without flashing? Which custom recovery can be used for this tablet?

Thanks

Still working on it

The command is fastboot boot (pathtocustomrecov)

Rob, according to a tweet from SRS Root, they can root various versions of the B3-A30.

Do a search for "acer b3-a30 root srsroot" to check it out. I've not yet tried it myself (just got the tablet yesterday).

Hopefully that can help you out.

I used the TWRP for the BQ Aquaris M10 (freezerhd) because they have both MTK8163 SoC

i tried to flash it with this command:

Flashing B3A20 to B3A30

Hi

How did you get the full Rom for the B3A30?

If we could flash the Android 5.1 from the B3A20 Model (which is almost identical to the B3A30) we could root it with Kingroot.

I tried to install the the full update.zip from B3A20 via recovery to the B3A30 but it failed. If someone can tell me how to get a full .img ROM of my B3A20 i can flash it via fastboot on my B3A30

Looking to buy B3-A30-K44M (Sam's Club)

I'm seriously considering buying the B3-A30-K44M that Sam's Club has, but want to make sure it won't be a dead end for me. I'm retired embedded systems guy who wants to get into programming the Android, but not up to speed on all the lingo words in use with tablets. I'm more used to h/w and f/w design and writing for the various micro controller chips on the market, not digging into operating systems. Don't want to spend my (rather low amount of funds) money on something that will be useless to me. I'm not much of a gamer or tablet user, but looking for the fun of exploring and "making". If this is not a good choice to buy, open to suggestions. I like the specs for this tablet, but not married to Acer or any brand. Too bad Rob did not share his newfound knowledge. I certainly plan to do so if I can come up with anything significant that might be of use to the group. Thanks for bandwidth.

I'm looking forward to getting this tablet, but as I read this very bad thread on the tablet not sure anymore. Anyways the few people claiming that they rooted this and have the scatter file and all that crap are just trolls trolling the only reliable site Android hackers have and should quite honestly be banned from XDA. This is not a site to brag about what you have accomplished and not share with others. Anyways rant over. Here is a link to the stock ROM ( 6.0 Marshmallow ). https://www.mediafire.com/file/v6i6oevdct9766c/Acer_Iconia_One_10_MT8163.zip . With the stock recovery.img hopefully someone can port over TWRP and SHARE with the rest of us. I would love to do it myself but no desktop at the moment and no access to one. The ROM I posted is flashable with SP Flash Tools all files are present. If someone needs help with with SP Flash Tools Hovatek over on YouTube has some great tutorials on it. Good luck fellas and hope some real progress can be made now. And if someone gets anywhere, please please share with the rest of us, as that is the XDA WAY...

[General Questions and Answers] zMILWAUKEE:
You have to run SPFlash tools as admin.

And you may have to reinstall the vcomm preloader drivers. The easiest way i found was to delete the drivers you have now, restart the pc, and WITH THE TABLET OFF, plug in the usb from tablet to pc, if you do this with the device manager running, you will see a new device pop up very briefly and disappear, thats normal, thats the mtk preloader and pc "shaking hands", and telling each other they can talk to each other. Some times it took me about two or three times of plugging my tablet before the drivers were good to go. But make sure the tablet is turned off when doing this. Next make sure to run Flashtools as admin and everything should be good. And one last tip, only use the usb 2.0 ports and not the 3.0 ports, the older mtk socs dont like them to much..Good luck..

Oh Wow thanks !

Someone gave me this bricked tablet some year ago, i tried to find the firmware and flash it back properly since it would'nt boot even after full reset.

Couldn't figure it out, Acer firmware on their page is garbage (update only apparently, and it won't even apply for some reason), another firmware found on the net somewhere that took years to download, where someone say's it works but no scatterfile to be found and i found the file to be a bit sketchy; and then found this thread, classic exemple of XKCD 979 'nvm - worked for me' and never coming back...

...Until i got to page 4; there was everything, simply laid out : Firmware, Tool, with links and even advice ! zMILWAUKEE you are a gentleman !

After some years of neglect, and some hours of tinkering and no-so-fructuous research, i was ready to trow the towel, and move this tablet right from the 'repair' pile onto the trash one.

Result, one hour after (yeah, everything was quite a bit ****y, from the SPFlash tool, the tablet and even my computer and the necessary drivers for 7 nothing quite wanted to cooperate), i was flashing, and the tablet rebooted perfectly onto a fresh OS install like nothing ever happened !

I don't normally comment everywhere (or anywhere to be honest), but i broke my rule in this case, for you, hat's off. :good:

Just glad I could help. I was thinking about getting this tablet seeing its cheap and decent specs. How is it performance wise? Anyways again you are welcome sir, your reply is why I joined this site to begin with, just to help others and give the best advice and info I can. OH and just an FYI, update to at least windows 8.1 or 10. Dangerous to use 7 now that its not supported any longer, dont even think they provide security patches any longer. Windows 10 isnt half bad.
[General Questions and Answers] the_k586:
As of today, the performance is what you can expect of an old Mediatek 8163 at 1.3Ghz on Android 6 :

Garbage

; but hey, it's just good enough for playing music or viewing pdfs, which will be the use here.

Don't panic about the use of Windows 7 here :) Windows 10 is more and more tight with security (Secureboot, Signed drivers, Forced Updates ect), so for stuff like this (Flashing android or other mobile/embedded devices, serial/jtag debugging and so on) i use an old laptop with Win7 32b so i can install all kind of unsigned/old drivers and software without anything being a pain in the donkey :) I also have a special WinXP laptop for the same purpose :cool: ; None of these are daily drivers, my main OS for the past decade or two has been an up to date Linux of some sort :p

[General Questions and Answers] ForestCat:
Hi,

I know this thread is a little stale, but I thought I try here first. I followed crazi-andi's instructions. What I'm left with is a boot loop, Acer Logo/black screen/repeat. Never gets to the mediatek logo. I can flash back the stock boot-sign.img w/ SP Flash, and it'll boot again, so I assume that the boot-sign.img I'm patching w/ Magisk is correct for the phone. It's from the Acer_Iconia_One_10_MT8163.zip file.

When I tried to flash the patched img from SP Flash v5.1924, I got a 6045 error re: missing signature, etc. When using v5.1532(per some 'fix' I found for the 6045 error), I don't get the error, it flashes, but it boot loops the same as when I flashed w/ fastboot commands per crazi-andi's post.

If anyone reading this has successfully rooted their B3 A30 on 6.0 using this method, could you tell me EXACTLY what version of Magisk Mgr/Magisk, or any other tools, and exactly which options? Everything I've tried so far has failed, I'm hoping someone can tell me why. Thanks for reading.

I use this phone almost all day..had it for 3 weeks now. Never observed it getting hot..forget abt hot..it didn't even got warm. Not sure abt others phones..but mine is good. Also, we need to know how the other phones blew up ? Did they root their phones & ran some crazy games or apps on their phones that constantly ran in the background leading to very high CPU usage & charging on op of it ?.

I agree fully with you. I repeated it back to her just for that reason.

What I told her was that ive been a loyal customer, full family plan with 4 phones, love the service, etc etc.

Said I upgraded to the best phone at the time, using my upgrade. Not my fault that the phone is defective and that Im being

forced to downgrade to a year old phone and one that I dont want. Said I purchased 2 wireless chargers, numerous accessories, my time and effort going the replacement route. All I want is a waiver of the upgrade whenever the phone I want comes out next year.

Doesnt seem too outrageous of a demand. For any of us. Isnt that what customer service is all about?

I hope so at least. Ill know tomorrow morning when I go in the store.
