[Q] Easiest way to root? - Acer Iconia A500

Hi all,
I'm getting my A500 in the next few days, and I was wondering what the best process for rooting is.
I understand there is either the method of reverting back to 3.0.1, or rooting from 3.2 with adb and some serials?(haven't looked into the last method much).
Which is the safer way? Is one easier than the other?
I believe the tab will arrive with 3.1 according to the spec sheet, if that makes any difference.

If it comes with 3.1, you're golden. Just use "Iconia Root".

Oh, i thought that only worked on 3.0
If, by chance, the spec sheets are wrong, and it comes with 3.2.x , which is easiest?

You have to flash it which is the only way known currently.

You have to revert to 3.01 then use iconia root. You MUST download Acer Recovery installer 1st from android market as the 3.01 rom is REALLY buggy and you can do just about nothing but root your tab... After rooting and running the acer recovery installer then you can upgrade to any rom you please but remember, if you flash an Acer stock rom you have just wasted your time as you will no longer have root access(best case) or brick you tab (worst case)...
Best to look in developement and get one of the stock roms from there or a cfw....
I like Harkon, but thats because I have an A501.... If you have an A500 you have more choice....
Look in the developement section for downgrading 3.2 to 3.01.... All instructions and apps, bar the acer recovery installer....

[Q] Root for Stock 3.2 A500

First off thanks for all the the great roms and how to's to all the devs ... I have flashed to stock 3.2 now i can't gain root ..... any ideas???
Currently there is no way to root the stock 3.2 FOTA. Nor can you go back to the older ROMs as a new bootloader was written when you flashed.
itsmagic and CWM no longer work.
Thanks for the the quick reply... was afraid of that answer ,guess I am gonna have to wait. I sure someone will figure it out real soon ...

Always a good idea to search XDA before flashing a new ROM for your device.
or like me, I was in 3.1 stock, waiting for the 3.2 update and custom ROM.
But my girlfriend find the time to update it without me
Now i've to wait for the root of 3.2 from scratch

Moved to Q&A
I'm having the same problem. Just after buying my A500, I updated it to 3.2 but I didn't know that root wasn't available in that version. Nor that I couldn't downgrade to 3.1 because of the new bootloader.
Does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade this bootloader in order to downgrade to stock 3.1 rom too? I feel that the answer is that it's not possible...

No. It's not currently possible.
I'll probably get people barking at me for suggesting this, but given that you've only recently purchased your tablet, you could always take it back and exchange it. Depending on where you got it from, they may have a satisfaction return window (usually 14-30 days for big box retail). This would allow you to return to an older version, or upgrade to a custom 3.2 ROM instead.
Normally this type of behavior is frowned upon, mainly because it is speculated to result in raised prices of consumer products in general. In truth, really it is up to the retailer. If they are willing to observe a satisfaction return policy, and you are unsatisfied with the product, you are operating within the business perimeters that they've established. It wouldn't be illegal, so its merely a question of your own morality and your willingness to take advantage.
I guess it depends on how badly you need root. For me, it is a show-stopper. My tablet sits at home now that I've lost root, mainly because it is useless for my needs without ad-hoc support.
Or you could just wait for the 3.2 root, but my gut tells me it might be a while. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this particular upgrade. That's not really based on anything factual though.

That could be because most of the "real A500 DEVS" ( not just ROM chefs) have left this forum for a less hostile environment.
Now i've to wait for the root of 3.2
I was going to wait for the 3.2 root but now that you say it might take (lot of) time, I think I'll try to give it back to the store.
I need this root for many things, ie : mounting my nas shared folders.

I use ES file explorer, and it opens my NAS shared folders just fine without root.
(of course I also want root for many things, that's just not one of them anymore)
can't wait untill the root for 3.2 it's coming! please crack that off!
I'm waiting for 3.2 root.
I'm also waiting for 3.2 root, because i want stock 3.2 with root. Right now i'm on Honeyvillain 1.2 with no issues so far, only SU. But that's a common problem right now for 3.2 ROMS.
What do you think about change wpa_supplicant in update.zip before flash with a version that support ad-hoc network?

Once you are on stock 3.2 you can not root, and you can not downgrade, and you can not flash any modified or non-stock image. There is simply no way to do this until someone finds a way to root 3.2

I guess that's not correct, at least for A501 but I think for A500, too.
I followed those steps to get a rooted HC 3.2 for my A501:
- Download HC 3.1: Acer_A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7 http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A500_0.000.00_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7_1311771237783_253e5e46.zip
- Download Decrypter [DEV][APP] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099673
- Decrypt downloaded file with Decrypter (put Decrypter and Acer_A500_0.000.00_4.017.03_EMEA_CUS7.zip into same folder)
- Unzip Acer_A500_0.000.00_4.017.03_EMEA_CUS7_decrypt.zip
- Copy update.zip from the above package to MicroSD card of A501
- shutdown (NOT restart!) A501
- Power up the tablet using Volume - & Power buttons (hold buttons until text shows up)
- A501 finds update.zip and Update will commence
After that you will have HC 3.1 on your tablet. Now root your tablet with iconiaroot 1.3 (use google to find the apk). Once it is rooted you are able to install ClockWorkMod via Acer Recovery Installer from Market, there's a thread somewhere around here, too.
Then look at thread:
[ROM][24.08]Acer A500 HC 3.2 4.015.01[HC 3.2][CWM & root] - xda-developers
So far I have no problems, everything's seem to work okay, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G...
Hope this helps! However, I am not responsible if you brick your device! Do it on your own risk!

oh man, this really make me happy just for a second, sound with confident, downloaded the iconia 1.3, run it but failed. i guest A500 not the same with A501 after all.

Will be joining you guys soon with the A500-08S08u!

Hi there,
I'll be joining you all soon with the A500-08S08u from Best Buy. I've done some research and it seems this item is the best tablet due to added functionality of USBs.
I would also like to know if there are any restrictions as far as changing ROMs/rooting that I should be aware of. I know that the Asus Transformer has 2 models (?) and one cannot be rooted (?). From what I have read so far, the Iconia A500 does not have any such restrictions but I would like to hear from you, the experts.
Thanks!
No restrictions, but...... if your tab comes with 3.1 HC, I advise you to NOT upgrade it to the OTA 3.2. Acer changed the bootloader, and you'll have to go through several steps to root it if you upgrade it.
So if it doesn't have 3.2, then simply use the iconia root apk, and get acerinstaller from the market to flash your custom recovery.
If it has 3.2 already installed, then see the following;

Bootloader.blob IIRC removed, and pre-rooted are what you'll find in custom ROMs, and Stock pre-rooted ROMs.

After the rollback, you can use either. Not sure which version the acerRecovery uses, but it should work fine. (I only used it once quite awhile ago)
After getting back up and running with a new rom, just check the recovery version., If it's the older, and you want to, goto www.tegraowners.com and get the newer recovery.

Get the latest version of CWM for our tabs at tegraowners.com.
There have been improvements in the scripting, as some people have had some problems when using the recovery portion of CWM on the older versions (like the one that comes with Acer recovery tool is old).
Tale your time when doing the downgrade and follow the instructions step by step, and you should be fine

Thanks. It appears the Acer Recovery Installer comes with an older version but you can put the newer version on the SD card and it should work accordingly. Nifty
edit: I don't have the SDK installed so no ADB functionality-- I will probably use it if everything else fails. I don't even have the tablet yet, but I enjoy preparing for when it does come

[Q] Can 3.2 Stock Out of the box be rooted and how?

I just rec'd the new A500 8Gb version that already has 3.2 installed. So this is not the normal 3.2 OTA, which maybe the same. Don't know how to confirm.
I have read so many posts that appears to be rooting instructions for 3.0 and not for 3.2. I see one Thread that had instructions on how to root a OTA 3.2 but the instructions even says will take 1.5hrs. I have rooted tablets/phones before and i know it doesn't take that long and don't want to lose data.
I don't want to install a custom rom just so i can be rooted. I just want to root this tablet and i don't want to downgrade the bootloader.
Can anyone please point me to the correct thread or simply let me know if rooting is currently out of the question for this scenerio.
im on the same page, just picked up the 3.2 from costco.. A little common sense points me and you in the direction of downgrading to the 3.0.1.. Then bumping up to the rooted 3.2.. its not a one click solution but it makes complete sense..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
im doing it as i write this let you know my success..
Yeah I have read that an option is to downgrade to 3.0, root then go to 3.2. Guess i'm waiting on a short version that will root stock 3.2 and it doesn't make sense to me to go back only to go up versions of rom for this alternative route.
lol its data, not like your trading in your new car for a 87 nova.. Downgrade is for exploit access only as soon as root --> update recovery ---> flash rom you will be right back to 3.2..
:-/
anyways method 2 works.. did it in 15 minutes cause i got distracted..
good luck waiting for ur 1 click
cool, so i guess this is the best solution for now....i'll do the same.
IMPORTANT : Make sure you download the acer recovery installer while still on 3.2 as you WILL have problems accessing android market once you install the UNSTABLE 3.01...
Its pretty hard to hard brick but please , don't take that as a challenge...

sent from my Acer Iconia A500 beast of a tablet via XDA app
I found out the hard way too, got the OTA update of 3.2 installed, then got the acer recovery installer downloaded. Was a colossal waste of time...
Thought I'd let others know, easier than having to stuff around yourself and hoping you can recover...
Thx for the heads up guys, i did install the acer recovery. Now i know why you need it since that 3.0 downgrade is very unstable. I did manage to root, install CWM and flashed a 3.2 rom.
I used this... straight root no downgrade required.

[Q] Re-rooting after 3.2 upgrade

I finally decided I would take the plunge and move from 3.1 to 3.2 after I saw the "voodoo OTA RootKeeper". I had been rooted previously. Sadly, after the update, the software DID NOT work and now I'm stuck with an unrooted device. Will this get me back to rooted? Or should I just downgrade back to 3.1? I would rather NOT lose my data. My current build is Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.

Yes either will work.
Don't that piss you off? Thanks Acer.
I did the downgrade, since rooting with iconiaroot is so easy, and I was on 3.2.1. The downgrade should work just fine, just make sure you have iconiaroot and acer recovery installer installed before downgrading, it makes life a lot easier since your keyboard wont work after downgrading. The downgrade method rom isnt for normal use, so root with it and install rooted 3.2.
that is sad.. I had just read an article about this app and was going to ask about it around here... Have you contacted the app developer and let them know??

TimmyDeans method, will avoid the crappy keyboard, although you can turn off functions to make it behave.
One of the important things, is the CPUID (I believe it's called) number it generates.
For anybody considering messing with things, this is a number you should always write down, and keep in a safe place.
As if you ever get a true "brick", you will need this number. And if you have a true brick, you won't be able to get it.
Just some friendly advice from a learned person.
VERY good advice from Moscow Desire, another hint is if you have connected your a500/501 to a pc then you can use an app (can't remember what its called) to find the cpuid off the pc. Its available here on xda but I seem to have misplaced it on my pc or I'd give you the name....

New Owner :),. I need Help

Hi Guy's,
I just bought this tab yesterday and I love it so far ., I just don't like the camera resolution which really sucks compared to other 5MP camera shooter Sphones or tab. Also I get this weird humming/buzzing/kinda pitchy noise when I'm charging my tab with the screen on ,but when it's on standby it just disappears. . Playing 1080p movies sucks too ; kinda choppy .I want to root it, but I search around this forum and couldn't decide which is the best and the easiest way/method to do it.I'm running honeycomb 3.2.1 and does CMW recovery included when I root it? or do i have to install it after?Also I read some threads that I need to make a ROM/files backup but I think it only applies to rooted device right?I saw that ICS+root leak but im kinda hesitant ,they said you may not received future OTA updates? & does it include CMW recovery? Im sorry ist kinda confusing. I hope you guys can give me some tips and advise. Thanks.
First off .. Any modification you do to protected software/rom from acer will likely cause you issues with OTA updates. as far as the noise this has been reported by some people . Some quite bad some only a bit. I would suggest trying to charge it with a different wall plug in your home. maybe another room that is on a different circuit . using a surge protector can also help this. If you bought the tab from a brick and mortar store . You could exchange it very easly.
To know the requirements to root your device you would have to post what rom version you are on.
3.0 - 3.1 you can root with iconia root .. install acer recovery installer then flash recovery from there .Then you can update to one of the latest recoveries from there being cwm or RA .. Ra would be my recommendation
3.2 and above you need to downgrade method to be able to root
Again there are links in this forum and as you say several ways Timmy Deans seem to be the most used .
The above is NOT intended to be a guide on how to do any of the necessary.. but only to confirm what your asking . as your post is very wide open asking alot of information.
Please be specific as to your rom version and what you wish to do . And we can point you in the right direction..
Good luck.. Welcome to forum
Root does not give you CWM recovery - it just gives you root access. You install CWM separately after you root your device. To make backups, you need CWM. Unfortunately you're on 3.2.1 and there's no way to root it and as erica said you need to downgrade first.

2.How to download/install CMW reovery before rooting? or after rooting?
3.Preferred Max clock speed which is reliable and usable?
4.App or a tweak that will let me play 1080P videos
5.BEST RATED ROM on A500 (New,Performance,Customization,reliable,no bugs)
6.Ist possible to put a simcard on A500? I think they just put a sticker next to the sd card slot., but i didint removed it .

Thor's CWM - install and then you can update it easily from tegraowners.com to the latest version

For questions 1 and 2, I would suggest reading through this sticky. It has other threads that can specifically answer your questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209988
3. I have had clock speeds up to 1.5GHz on my tablet without experiencing any issues, but your mileage may vary.
4. For 1080p, you should read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184002
5. I currently use Taboonay 3.0.1, which works fine for my needs. But because these are custom roms, each one will have their pros and cons. My suggestion is to look through the Android development thread, read the first few messages of each of the rom threads (usually you'll get what the rom has or doesn't have in those) and download one (or more if you like to try things out like I do). Then go into recovery (once you get it installed), make a backup of your current rom, do a factory reset and flash your new rom.
6. No, it is not possible to put a simcard in the A500. From what I read, there are physical components missing on the motherboard to make a simcard work. The A501 is exactly like the A500, but it has a 3G module built in (which accepts simcards).
why not wait till after the Android 4.0 update to root it?

I don't think that's too likely to happen, look at HC3.2 +.... You have to revert back to 3.0 or 3.1 to root your tab...
Also the new bootloader seems to be a real mongrel to go around, if that IS the final bootloader that will be shipped or a red herring to distract devs from the real bootloader which may be harder to crack/circumvent which took a good 3 or 4 days now. It also looks like it could be an incomplete bootloader so who knows what the final monster will be like...
thanks
hi guys thank u for the support & ideas.... Ived managed to root my A500 HC3.2.1 with thors v1.5 CMW i havnet installed any roms yet cuz im kinda scared of bugs....well if u guys can suggest a new rom that is bugless & fun to be a daily driver....then im gonna try it . Also Ived try a camcorder patch that will let us record 1080P on rear camera & 720p on front, but only the front camera works so i revert to the old 1's. I wish they will come up something like that or a fix maybe. .
1. Brower fix? It fc sometimes
2.any tweak that will make camera less grainy? Other 5mp phones has a better results than ours ;(
3. Im looking for a hard case for my tab but amazon only sells those folio type ;P
