The one-click root works on the AT&T version. You will need to sideload the apk file using ADB or Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine (SWM). There are several threads here discussing this. Try doing a search of this forum.
wow not much help
Somd people get errors when using the sideloder and dont even get me started on just try fixing the error or googleing it.
It sucks that such a forum exists and people arent willing to help there to lazy since they already got the help they needed and dont wana contribute since.there are users also having the same frustrations they once had!
people just dont want to have to answer the same questions over and over again when a simple search would turn up the answer.
So far I think this forum has pretty much answered every problem ive had with my x10 and its usually already been answered and I havent had to start a new thread.
thing is some people arent that computer savy and really would like to get the most of their phone without screwing anything up and i mean all this apk and sdk and seus ect... can get some people confused if it could get all tied up into one simple explanation that could do it also theres thousands of threads on this forum having to do with rooting i dont think one has enough time to be looking over every single one of these threads it is pretty DREADDDDFULLLLLLL
IF you need help rooting PM i will gladly help you out

There is a post in the Q/A section where I posted how to fix the issue where the phone isn't detected. I'm pretty new to android myself, but I've been in IT for going on close to 15 years now, so if I don't know exactly how to fix it I sure as hell can figure it out. The best way I've found to get SWM (it's really adb that's detecting the phone) to see it is by removing the sdk if you have it (just the 1.6 files), uninstalling the driver from device manager, and redownload the 1.6 files for the sdk. I've done it a number of times and it's worked every single time.
I don't think I have full root though, but all I really needed root for was to remove the at&t apps. I used SWM to sideload the exploid one-click root apk (x10root), ran that to get the SuperUser app, then downloaded Titanium from the market to remove the AT&T apps.
Morning Everyone...
Some help please..
I have flashed my hd2 using nand method and applied the rom and all i working great, accept root access the superuser application is not showing any programs to grant root access i might be missing something simple but i can not seem to locate the issue.

Hi There
Strictly speaking this is a Q&A post - so ensure you post in the right forum next time as this is for NAND ROM development
Still, let's try and get you sorted...
Depending on your ROM, it will either be Root enabled or in the case of some older ROMs, not (eg Cotulla's 30 Dec build).
To root that kind of ROM, you can install Z4Root and you should be good to go.
I have posted a bit more information about setting up Root, SetCPU etc here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896620
Have fun!
Post this question in the thread from the ROM you have installed.
sent from my HTC HD2 NAND ANDROID using XDA App
Thanks the Z4 mod worked a treat, and apologies for posting in the wrong section..
As always thank you for the quick response.
I made a tool so we can decrypt the acer updates easier.
Also added decryption key change if acer decides to change the key.

well done！
have you tested it？
I have KIS 2011
Thor...sorry...I didn't mean that. I want to try it badly...it is just my stupid KIS...since I am using the company laptop so I can't take the risk...I will try it on another computer. Sorry.

select the encrypted zip update by pressing input file and hit start
where do I get the encrypted zip update? I saw the new update 1.144.07 yet I couldn't find it anywhere to download? Once I find it and get it decrypted, what would i do next?
you have no use for it if you dont know whats it for....
its for advanced users... not noobs
Thank you for your extreme support. If that is the case please change the title of ur topic to DEV Only. I thought the point is to help everyone. Cheers

clearly dev of the year here...
thanks for nothing.
How 'bout telling him what it does, instead of just putting him down and calling him a noob?
@lpachuong, there's nothing we can do with it -yet-, since we have no way to re-encrypt them. It's possible we could do something like build a system.img and flash it with dd, though for now it's only good for poking around in the images.

Too many users ask lots of questions that could be avoided by reading the posts / some other topics. I can totally understand him.
Of course it's no problem to answer 1 or 2 questions - but there are many questions and lots of them do repeat.
for command line one can use this xor 0.2 (aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm).
usage:
xor.ex input output 0x12

It looked to me like he had read it, and didn't understand it, possibly to a language barrior.
Also, saying that it's not useful to him (in a polite way) is a lot better than saying that he's a noob and has no business working with it, and would have taken just as long to type. There's a point where he's just being rude to be rude. :|

man... what are you talking about. the OP only says, click this and that..
He asked, WHAT COULD HE DO AFTER HE HAS DECRYPTED THEM.
Absolutely legitimate question.
DEV = cranky old man

Sorry, it's not. This info is available right here in this forum. All you have to do is look.
There is a difference between a noob and a newb. Right now all I see is a newb asking for information that can be freely found if one spends some time looking for it.
If you notice, the OP has helped quite a few people with legitimate questions and/or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding. But I should apologize for causing the troubles. I didn't know what the purpose of decrypting the zip file was, when there is no further step after that.
I guess I will be just more patient and wait until we can get access to the recovery mode. I just can't stand it when Acer has no update in Australia. I messed with dd the system and flex img before as well. Hopefully during this time, OP or someone else will come up with something that can re-encrypt it. I saw the chinese update.zip used signapk to pack the package but I failed to do so.
I don't mind being called noob =) People usually call me nerd so it sounds good to be called noob sometimes =D
peace.
dude you want to know how you're supposed to provide information and provide support?
read one of my guides below.
anyways dont apologize dude, just dont mind some of these cranky guys.
If I decide to keep my Iconia, I'll consolidate all that information and make a guide somewhere.

reencryption can be achieved with this app also but doesnt help us...
please stop talking here if its not related to development...

how can we know the decrypter key and what it is when acer changes it? how?
I`m sorry if I open another thread of how to root galaxy tab , but I`m trying to ask about another way to root galaxy tab running gingerbread 2.3.3 besides using odin to flash chainfire kernel , thus using custom root method. Is there another way ? Another simple way , like a simple apk to run like gingerbreak (that does not work) or superoneclick (that still does not work) ... u get the point. Waiting for replay`s and please if u want to give a replay , don`t just post if u want to rant or complain about another thread about root. I want to ask if there is a possible way to root ur tab with a simple apk and if not if u can remove root after u used odin with chainfire. Thank you and have a nice day .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Fail ... I said for 2.3.3 GingerBread not Froyo
I tried again , it freezes at step 6 so does it mean that it doesn`t work ? HELL YEAH!
Srsly no one can give me an answer ? Or an ideea or smth ?
The chainfire kernel is the only root method for all stock gingerbread roms. Overcome preroots their rom.
Yes it's difficult to find this answer here.
You need this, google it
Google_Android_Tablet_Gingerbred_2.3.3_Rooting_files.rar
Use odin 1.7, should be included
Don't do repartition, don't add pit files, even if they are included.
You win not loose data by doing this. Should not.
There is NO space in that filename. It shows wrongly to me here
Again , sorry to be a nag , but I already said it in the 1st post , I asked if there is another way to root gtab 2.3.3 without using odin or if u use odin if there is a way to unroot. Please take that into consideration when u post please ... Thank you , and again ... sorry to be a nag.
Sorry for wasting your time by writing my insufficient answer.
The mistake is mine of course. I should have took more time to read and to properly understand your needs and probably do the google search to find the direct link.
Maybe you shouldn't stop just by being upset and blaming us for answering you incorrectly.
Complain to andministrators, they should do something about it.
Anyway, for others reading this threat, there is an answer to this question.
You will find it out right after you do what i wrote in previous post.
That is put that string in google.
Will try to remember not to answer your posts anymore. And once again, sorry for wasting your time.
Really no point in doing that ... I asked a simple question and expected a simple and concise answer . Is that too much ? I didn`t said u wasted my time but if u ask smth and u answer with smth else what`s the point ? Did u said smth about unroot option ? Because I asked about this because there are some that might need to go with gtab to waranty and when they see root ? There is a point into the way I asked really , if u understood smth else I`m really sorry , but ur sarcasm sucks . Btw no everything u need is in need of a simple google search to find the direct link. That`s why I post here , where the questions are answered , BY PEOPLE THAT KNOW THEIR STUFF. Sry for the caps , abbrevations , and the attitude . Thank you and have a nice day/night to all.
Talk about self entitlement....I doubt you will get anywhere with this kind of attitude
I dont normally say this, but my god, you're a ****.
There is currently NO way to do what you're asking. There is your clear answer.
Now please go away.

Right ... right ... Can you please enlighten as to why am I a "****" ? Because I clearly state my question and expect a decent and adequate answer ? Is that why I`m a **** ? Then clearly all the people in the world are "dicks"! Excuse me for using the word "****" because I`m paraphrasing mister copper7op because he clearly thinks he lives in a perfect world. Mister copper7op you sir are the "****" here because you came to my post and insulted me . I did not insulted no one , I just stated the facts. If you don`t like too bad for you really . As a side not or P.S. thank you for the answer about no actual solution to my question in the post .
it is same to me T.T....i cant root my gtab 2.3.3 sad..

Over the internet there are various guides teaching the lesson 'how to get out of a soft brick.' Some guides can be hard to follow and very hoarse leaving a noob feeling like he/she has destroyed their device. Fear Not.This is a comprehensive guide for less experienced users who happen to find themselves in a soft brick.
Dictionary - Soft brick - the phone can still boot, and be flashed easily but in its current state is unusable.
- Hard brick - the phone cannot boot and requires additional devices to do so (USB Jig, Riffbox).
This is the quickest escape route on the interweb and you will be done in no time. Here we go:
First Download Flashtool. Here (You may download any version from the previous versions tab.)
Install Flashtool.
Find the stock firmware for your device. For the x8
E15i android 2.1.1 http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5 (2.1.1.C.0.0 latest firmware)
Dictionary - stock firmware - latest version of software released by the manufacturer
After downloading the firmware. Extract the file. You will be left with a firmware file with .ftf as the ending.
Go into 'my computer' then 'flashtool' folder then 'firmware'. Then copy the .ftf file into that folder.
Close the folder.
Now to make sure that your phone is recognized by flashtool, go into computer then flashtool then drivers.
Now Install the driver for the x8.
Connect your x8 to your computer.
open the Flashtool program.
Click the bolt icon in the top left.
Select the name of the firmware you downloaded (2.1.1.C.0.0) in the left panel. it will highlight blue.
Click ok (bottom right).
A box will appear telling you to put your device into flash mode. Follow the instructions it gives.
Once this is done the box will dissapear and firmware will flash.
Finally device will reboot and phone will be back to normal.
Congratulations you have unbricked your device.
I hope you found this useful. Please thank me using the button if you appreciate my efforts. #
This is my first guide. Tell me what you think. Anything I could improve.
Very good guide, cause didn't know yet about this..very thanks..:thumbup:
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using xda premium
nice and quick guide, i guess that what a paniced newbie search for!
suggestion:i think you should add about the installation of drivers,as many users come here telling that their phones is not recognized by flashtool
also change the 4-noobs at the title, is kidda disturbing...put "for" instaid of 4
There is about 100 threads about that. Just color of text and size is diferent!
guuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyysssssssssss,dont attack him because he want to help,if you dont like it,ignore it!

I know what you are talking about,but as long as there are so many who make a new thread for asking help for a brick,I prefer having similar threads with the same information that will help people rather than having stupid threads that are useless after all.....

Thankyou for everyone's support. I have changed the '4' to 'for' in the title as suggested by stamatis16.

As someone who studied psychology, I know that people learn in very different ways. A guide from someone else may not help a certain person. Different fonts evoke different responses and speeds of learning. Different colours do similar things too. So in response to the 'there are millions of guides' argument, I say . Everyone learns differently and this may help someone desperate more effectively than any other. I know that when I needed this help none of the guides were as simple as the one I have composed.
In addition to this, please remember, I am spending my personal time to aid others. So negative flaming saying that my posts are 'not really helping' is always a let-down.
Thankyou once again for the support.
Special thanks lyhengboy stamatis16 for comments.
Guys, think of it this way. Its better for someone to make a new thread which will prevent 2000 threads asking the same topic.
Hmm OP can we merge this topic with the existing one with Lucas? You can always PM him for ideas
For now I agree that it is somehow odd to create extra thread for the same purpose for noob knowing that there is already an existing one. Very nice purpose but we need to be organized as well hugs.

I can understand that but I have clearly highlighted in my post before this one why I made a new thread. Please read it if you have not.
Also I would like to have my own 'branding' if you like, of guides and reviews. I try to spice each one up differently to combat that argument.
Thankyou very much for being kind when posting. :laugh: Sorry if I come across as rude, I do not mean to be this way.
Q:Hmm OP can we merge this topic with the existing one with Lucas? we need to be organized as well
A: I would be very sad if you were to delete or move or zap this thread for the reasons you mention above. I have spent great periods of time composing and tailor making this for certain users. As a RC I hope you can understand my reasoning.
Thankyou once again.
EDIT: I have changed the title to make it seem 'different'. I also want to mention my 'dictionary' feature. I think this is different and may help my argument.
I fully understand you. Thy will be done
Can someone with a soft bricked X8 let me know if its possible to boot into safe mode?
Hold menu when booting.
Thankyou. I was a bit scared when you said you wanted to remove this post and 'merge it with another.' Great to know you are so supportive.
Yes, please do not merge this. I have benefited allot from this post. Merging it I think will take out the time put into to this. Plus, other people may not see this. I am happy the op decided not to merge.

Thanks, man
I don't have a soft or a hard brick. But I acknoledge you made a great guide and thank you anyway.
It was also useful because I am still considering if I should root my Galaxy Ace Duos GT-S6802 or not. And this made me realize that even if it bricks, it can be reverted. Do you have any idea if a hard brick is reversible? Also, in worst case scenario, can I simply download the software from samsung site and install it? Thanks. And sorry if I broke any rules here, I'm still a noob (still scared by the introdutory video haha)
