Hi all,
I got my Iconia A500 updated to HC3.2 last week. But I lost my root access after updating to HC3.2 and I can't tether my Iconia A500 to my ad Hoc hotspot!
How can I root my Iconia HC 3.2? I want to root my Iconia HC3.2 so that I can enable the ad hoc under root access.
I am from Hong Kong. Thanks.
Blessings,
Kin
more info needed
Please be detailed in what you were doing version of os you were installing. And so on.this will more likely get someone with same experience to help.your post is left with too many variations.
if your A500 HC3.1 was rooted (you did it yourself, or...?), why don't apply the same rooting procedure to your HC3.2?

Simple reason: if iconiaroot 1.3 was used to root HC 3.1 then it will not work on HC 3.2
Tried it myself on an updated A501.

Rooting HC3.2 Iconia A500
I have the same problem. Did anyone have any solution???
I lost root also, as expected, when I updated to HC 3.2 and iconiaroot did not work (seems to be a problem with superuser. Acer just started rolling out HC 3.2 over the last couple of days but the android developers in these forums are pretty smart, I'm sure they'll start posting root solutions soon.
You may want to try this. It's the root process for 3.2 on the A100. May very well work, although I don't have 3.2 yet so I cannot test it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but tried it 4 times on my a500 with HC 3.2 and it would not root.

It was worth a try, although for the life of me I can't figure what would be different between the two, except screen size?!?

The version of 3.2 for the A500 is not the same as the version of 3.2 for A100 (the A100 has had 3.2 a lot longer) I suspect in the mean time Acer patched it before releasing the A500 version.
So far there is no way to root 3.2, and more annoyingly, there is also no way to downgrade to 3.1 to get root back (trying to flash a 3.1 update.zip on the 3.2 tablet leaves the tablet unbootable)
for now we're stuck on unrooted 3.2 until one of the devs sweeps in and saves us!

Do you suppose this is a realistic expectation? I understood that once they decide to lock the boot-loader that root becomes next to impossible.
But then, admittedly, I know very little.
I am a little pissed off about the fact that I stupidly accepted the upload without checking this first. Now I can't use wifi tether (no adhoc), making the tablet almost useless for my needs.
Oh well,
Cheers,

There are many devices with locked bootloaders that have been rooted (my phone, a motorola milestone, is one of them)
The odds are that the device will be rooted again, the only question is when, but I don't really expect it to take too long. hang in there, you'll be back up and running before you know it.

At present only solution is using nearly stock cus.rom to get root.
In more details, look at following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265847
If he's already on 3.2, it's too late for that, he won't be able to flash that ROM. if you are on 3.2 there is currently no way to get root, or to downgrade to 3.1
Wait for,maybe, a couple of weeks and there will be a Rootmethod for 3.2.That's my experience with this great forum. For now just enjoy your clean and original Tab.

I keep seeing forum posts popping up on this and other forums from people who've upgraded to 3.2, not realizing that this is an upgrade that is irreversible and cannot be rooted.
I wonder if it would be prudent to put up a warning thread (perhaps a sticky) warning people not to accept the 3.2 OTA update if they want to continue using root.
Hi All,
I bought the A500 last week and, without a lot of thinking, I upgraded to the last OTA HC 3.2 from HC 3.01.
If I do and hard reset to factory settings does it revert to 3.01 or will stay with 3.2?

As all the threads on this have said you are stuck.there is one solution in the developed section but to me it seems hackish.could be risky.

You have to flash a custom kernal which supports over clocking.stock kernal won't support over clocking.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
If you want to keep the stock 3.1 first put use the instructions on the forums to put CWM and Acer Recovery from the market on your tab(will require you to root it). Then go here
http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/
download v2.5 and use the Acer Recovery Installer to install it. The Recovery app MAY have the option to download 2.5 directly inside it, but I can't remember and now have an A100.
Don't get anything newer than 2.5 because as per this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170319
which is the creator of the kernel, the newer ones are all 3.2 only. If you're not comfortable doing all this, you may want to wait until the stock 3.2 OTA is rooted, then use the newer kernel versions. It's my understanding that if you do all this and get cwm and a custom kernel on stock 3.1 you'll have to undo it all before you can use the OTA to 3.2, which should be arriving any day to your device.
Try this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138051
and add 2.1b Update for 2.1 (really essential for full rooting)

Which version of HC are you running, 3.01, 3.1, or 3.2?
Stock or custom ROM?
i believe its android 3.2. I'm new to this

Go into "settings" "about tablet". If you're on 3.2 it's somewhat of a pita to downgrade back to 3.1 to gain root access.
Is there any chance to get devices running under HC3.2 rooted.

If you already took the update you have to downgrade first, then install a pre-rooted stock, or custom 3.2 ROM.
Here's the thread on how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
with 3.2 ota your going to have to downgrade then upgrade custom rom. I found the easiest way to do this is download the bricked update zip located in the thread mentioned above, put it on sd card. Boot using power and volume up. Flash the room, prior to this make sure you have acer recovery and iconiaroot installed. When you boot you cannot use an onscreen kb. Simply run iconiaroot, and then install cwm via acer flash recovery. Then you can install any of the prerooted 3.2 roms located here and wala no data loss.

Lol yes it just makes the numbers look better that way. Getting close to posting a gaming centric recooked rom here shortly with support for both android and linux native extensions. However as it is based on 2.2, I would like to wait and see what I can do with ICS. I just hope my above post was useful to the op.

Of course did OTA rootkeeper not preserve root.
This is the complete update and not OTA.
You should see this update as formatting your tablet and installing from scratch.
ViperMOD which is found in the Transformer Prime forums should be able to help you restore root.

kerner sources?????
HELL YEEEEESSSS
How Universal are these Kernels?
My concern, implementing these kernels without cross referencing the serials for applicability within a given SKU group could lead to future problems. I have two US tabs that behave differently after upgrading to ICS, I strongly suggest that device differences be addressed first before doing any dev work on these kernels.

Unlock unlock unlock. Anyone anywhere seen any unlocker for the TF101?
Didn't Asus promise that one "quickly" after the TF201 tool?
With TF201 having ICS, having ICS issues resolved, having ICS sources and bootloader unlocker released, and TF101 having ICS out, issue resolves, source out...
The only thing missing is the bootloader unlocker. Where is Asus on this one? I haven't heard anything in ages.
Has anybody tried to root or been able to root the NEW transformer? Its the one to replace the prime. I see that its competitor the ACER A510 has been rooted already and it came out after the TF300. Both have ICS.
Someone said that they tried to root it like the previous transformers and it did not work. Is this true? Anyone working on it?
If you accepted the ICS update (like I did....Doh!!!) Then it appears you're gonna have to wait a while until they crack the newest TF201 update. Very likely that whatever solution is found for the current TF201 will work for TF300, too.
