This root method works. I used it on the ota ics update.
I even have recovery.
It gives you FULL root.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully.

No , you can mod build.prop and you can install the apk but you won't get it to work. It is even present in the framework but again, no it won't work.
That needs to be done in the building process of the rom. One more reason to go custom
Ask MD , it is even a pain to get it working on custom rom. It all got to do with signing the correct apk's before you build the rom.
So don't waist your time or mess up your system it is not going to happen.

Hi everyone!! Im new to this forum so bare with with me. I recently bought an acer iconia A500 4.0.3 ics (leak). I rooted it with blackthunde, but then I dident like the root sooo I found a utube video that said " unroot all android devices universal", i did what they said, which was" to remove the su files and the remove superuser and then boot" however; superuser did not remove from my devic. I used the root checker to c if it worked and i guess it did because now it saids "not rooted" sooo my question is: how do i get my tablet back to the state when I first bought it? or can i remove the superuser manually? but instead of it saying uninstall it saids "remove all updates". i dont know what to do, please can someone explain how to get it to brandnew and leave no trace of root..... thank you...
First this should be a question by itself.
But I will try and help you out bud.
To get to stock you must find a ROM that is stock then flash it.
If you want absolute stock that is beyond me as I've never looked into it in ics
What ROM are you on now? if you are just rooted just factory data reset and you should be happy where it is at.
If you are trying to sell it let me know!. as any another reason to go to stock I don't know why you would..
I don't understand your post really..

Well, probably because superuser apk was placed in the /system/app folder and you don't have /system rw permissions anymore.. Can't remove it unless you're rooted with /system RW access.
If you want it really back to stock condition, grab one of the update ICS files from the Dev section, decrypt it, pull the update.zip from it. Copy the update.zip to your ext SD, and boot holding Vol+ and PWR. Should install the update.
Note there are 2 update ICS files, so of one doesn't work, try the other. This will put a stock ICS back on your tab.
If it goes well that is

Guys,
Thanks for the help in fixing my camera issues !!
My next question is, am I still rooted once I updated to 2.2 ?? The Market doesnt seem as extensive as it was when I was rooted on 2.1
I am pretty new at all this stuff, how can you tell if your rooted on 2.2, and if I'm not, how can I properly root it again ??

root and Market are not related. You need to change your phone fingerprint to the Nexus 1 to show all the protected applications again as Google does not recognize the DK28 fingerprint.
However, you need to be rooted to edit the file. See the following thread for the fingerprint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848778

One way to check is to open up a terminal and type "su"
To get root back, use the one click installer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
Or flash a Tom to get all the apps. If you want to find out if your rooted just download titanium from the market. As soon as you open it it will say asking for root rights.

ok, here comes the idiot question of the night....
is there any way to root my phone, without having to use a computer to download any files ??
When my friend originally rooted my phone when I was on 2.1, he didnt have to use a computer, he was able to do it right on the phone itself (not sure what he did, tbh)

To tell if you're rooted - install an app like Titanium Backup, which needs root to function properly. If you're not rooted, there won't be access to the market.
For root if you've lost it, your best option may be to install a custom ROM, which are usually pre-rooted. Besides, most custom ROMS are better than what comes stock. Which custom ROM will depend on your needs.
This tool installs su and superuser.apk for stock HC 3.1 and HC 3.01
As the old root method does not work anymore I created this new tool.
How to root
1. Goto Settings->Applications and enable "Unkown sources"
2. Download the attached APK file
3. Copy the file to your Iconia
4. Install the APK & start the tool
5. Click "root"
6. Enjoy
How to unroot
1. Start the tool & click "unroot"
NOTE
- By clicking root, you agree that you do this at your own risk. The tool will uninstall any previous installed superuser.apk.
Thanks
@ChainsDD for superuser.apk and su
@Acer for this buggy tool
Changelog
1.3.0:
- Also remove any "su" folder from /system/bin and /system/xbin .
1.2.0:
- Remove su from /system/bin and /system/xbin before rooting. This should fix the issues when someone installed the 3.1 OTA without unrooting the device before.
1.1.0:
- Add support for HC3.0
1.0.0:
- Initial version
!!! Use at your own risk !!!

And quite rightly, if gaining root isn't a security threat I don't know what is. But as you WANT this particular security breach and you trust the author - I assume - then don't worry about it and run it anyway. This is a good security breach, not a bad one!

No one seems to show GEN2 any love. Its all GEN1 and CUS7. For those that want GEN2 (I live in US), well here you are. A full image for Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. This is not edited in any way. (This means not rooted). This is probably not going to be useful to the average person. For a modified (but rooted) ROM of this, look here
This is not OTA and can be used without ClockWorkMod (CWM) or any modifications of any kind.
Unzip Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip and place update.zip on the root of your SD card.
I should also mention this is Honeycomb 3.2 for those that don't keep track of the build numbers (and who can blame you?), and this DOES have a locked bootloader. But, nevertheless, and valid source for flashing and other things!

This is not rooted, it is also bootloader locked. I do not recommend this for you. Try another rom that is 3.2, there are plenty now!

Thanks for the heads up. Im running Honeyvillain 1.2 but Im curious about the GEN2, as Im in the US as well. I dont know what the differences are, but so far its working smooth, smoother than any other ROM out there.

Yea I wouldn't worry 2 much about GEN2. If you have a choice, get GEN2. Otherwise it doesnt matter. The differences are mostly system files related to keyboards and databases and such from what I have dissected.
Like spelling color as colour and other oddities.
That and different bloatware, not all the same as the US

That problem can be solved by adding the line "ro.carrier=wifi-only" in the buildprop (you can do this with es file explorer or root explorer) and reboot.

I live in the us and while I have rooted my a500 I haven't installed a custom rom yet because the few stock roms are gen1. I want to stay as close to stock as possible and would love to have this 7.006.01_com_gen2 with just root and and bootloader fixed. I thought your "clean" rom might work for me but I'd prefer to have just the stock rom with few modifications. Any idea where I might find something like that?

I am using this rom from what I can tell so far its Very Stock Rooted and no issues at all.
Thanks. I installed this over stock slightly modified 3.1 I did wipe /format partitions. Then restored my ti backup.complete secess
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...

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.

RazorClaw has nothing to do with build number.
You have to be on .19 firmware for RC to work.
You could also try NachoRoot which work with all firmware up to .21

Yes i've done quite a bit of research and I noticed I'd need to downgrade to .13 then upgrade to .19 with a 101g firmware which might stop you from getting some market apps. I'm alittle lost of what to do after that. If I used nacho root and wanted to install revolver. I'd think I need to install clockwork then add a rom. Is that correct? Does a guide exist on this?

to install CWM recovery.

After that download and put the revolver ROM file on your external sd card.
Use CWM recovery to flash the ROM.

Thanks for all the help I'm feeling alittle less nervous about doing this. Could I just ask 3 more quick questions. Is overclocking the cpu (i'm not sure how everyone does it) dangerous in a sense that it could damage it? Also when ICS will I be able to update my revolver when it is released by the revolver dev? And finally if I do decide to go through with this can I remove any traces if I need to send it in for a non-rooting related issue?
Thanks

no you should be fine as long as you dont go to high i seen other forum members push there tf101 s to 1.5ghz, and thats about as far as i would go my self.
i don't know about revolver as i have not messed with roms/recovery/kernels yet but i would think that the dev would work on a ics release.
yes you can heres a link to an unrooting guide Easy [UNROOT] it show how to install a stock rom and stock recovery.
I ordered my transformer yesterday, it will arrive in 2 days.
I have a question :
1) If I plan to use a custom rom (prime or revolver), do I need to root it first or just install the rom zip?
1a) stock device comes with recovery console, but clock work mod is a modified version with extra features?
1b) from what I understand, stock console accepts only signed zips, while clockworkmod accepts unsigned zips?
2) If I root the stock original rom, will it continue to receive updates? Will root survive them?
I want to have a working tablet ready for ics, with root as a must, I need to backup and restore my apps and exchange them with my Android-ed HTC HD2.

1a: yes
1b:i don't know if the stock only accepts signed zips but clockwork will accept un signed.
1: i'm pretty sure its stock rom->rooted stock rom->clockwork recovery->custom rom
2: a rooted stock rom will continue getting updates but it might break root, i was told to install OTA root keeper to back up and protect my root.
