Ok I am totally new to the android buzz. My wife and I both have orignal G1s never really played with them always to busy....Now we both have Acer A500's. I am not gonna play with hers since she loves hers the way it is. I of course feel it should do MORE. So with that being said here is my specs
HC 3.1
kernel version 2.6.36.3
build # 4.010.11_com_gen2
has this level of update been rooted and was there any issues.
(I not only use this to play and well gonna learn but also for work)
Again I am totally new to this.
Oh and Ido have a lot of leather on my back also.....hehehehe....;-}
Yes, you can root 3.1 (just did it this weekend). No issues that I've run across with rooting (knock on wood). For me, I have just installed root programs (TiB, etc.) and OC'd (req'd new kernel, got up to 1.5 GHz w/o problems (knock on wood again)).
No custom ROMs yet, as I've been quite happy with Acer's ROM so far, with the aforementioned tweaking.
I think it really depends on what you want to do - I rooted when I first got it to play, but ended up going back to unrooted stock after the first few weeks - if you don't have a need to root, then I'd just say don't bother.
Now that said, I just re-rooted last week simply to get Netflix working (which it does great now) - so that was my "need" - take that as you will.
But rooting (and unrooting) is pretty darn easy, so it's really hard to mess up your system, just remember - always backup - backup everytime you mess with something - because going back is easy with backups, if you forget, you are forced to find creative ways to "wipe and reset" back to stock.

well gonna wait a few days before i root due to need to pick up a mcro sdcards to back up system since i only have one and it is corrupt (how or why but nothing can read or write to it) and here lately been to dang busy with work....and dont have anything to back up to
well thats sounds chicken**** doesn't it.....i gues im just being a scared sissy....gonna root i do need access to root to access some vpns at work and need to tether also and do a few things that need access to root...just scared that i mess up and then cant return.....did that with first pc i ever owned and i got lucky with the place where i bought it they reinstalled all and i did the same thing and fixed it myself the second time.....lmao....worst case is i can confiscate the wifes a500 and get all from it to resotre mine......
root will also give you access to deleting any crapware that comes pre-installed. While the Iconia has limited crap, there is some present.
I'm newbie to this stuff (Android) and just got an Iconia A500 (unfortunately without 3G embedded and no ad-hoc wifi).
I understood I need to have access to root account in order to release the ad-hoc wifi and then use a mobile phone that can theter wifi to other machines.
I tried the original way of "rooting" the A500 without success (sorry, i cannot include links here).
Is there any new way since I updated A500 to HC3.1?
Thanks in advance.

And if you do THAT, future OTA updates will no longer work unless they're a full ROM. Acer has a nasty habit of issuing differential updates.

True enough, but if you're rooting and trying out new roms, kernels, or deleting crap... then staying current with OTA probably isn't a high priority. Rather, you're looking to tweak/mod your tab and are more likely to wait for a new cooked rom based on said OTA.

Sure, but better than people be fully aware of the consequences of their actions... You'd be surprised at the sheer number of folks who just don't think. Look back at this forum before we got custom ROMs and OTAs started coming out as a prime example.

Agreed- you're right.
well gonna root today pray for the best.....figure worst case is ima gonna be crying like a lil b**** if I mess it up. Sounds like if I mess it up there is some very highly knowledge here that can help me back to square "A". My main question-------I should be using iconiaroot-1.3.apk or should I be using signedgbiconiatab1.20.apk--------allready got acerecovery downloaded from the market and also titanium back up and which is the proper busybox or do I not need busy box? One last thing I would like to thank all those for the great direction you all have pointed me to!.............;-}

You need iconiaroot 1.3
As for the other things.. you'll need to be specific as to what you are looking to do. Acer Recovery is an easy way to install ClockworkMod recovery which can then be used to BACKUP and install new roms. Titanium Backup can be used to delete apps and back them and their data up as well. You'll need to be specific.

well i dont think i want to install a new rom, but i do a good image back up before i do anything, i do want to get the otas and again as i mentioned before my wife has the same tablet and we are not going to do any thing to it but leave it in its stock level. i will leave the original crap on it which the only thing i dont like is the zinio reader but it doesnt bother me. Will work on trying to get my crack berry or my g1 to tecther with it due to I do and will be using it for work. At present i rdp into my laptop at home just need to be able to get online anywhere and any time....
oh and one last thing do i need to go into portrait mode and lock it down and so forth through all the videos i have seen and foloow those steps or just copy file to sdcar go into a file exploerer and click file and follow instructions.....
So i jumped on the deal on sellout.woot today, and i'll be getting a verizon galaxy tab, hopefully next week, and wanted to get a few things together and start reading up.
I'll probably look at just updating it out of the box and playing around with the stock firmware, but i know i'll probably want to stick some kind of custom firmware on it. So are there any recommendations on a good custom firmware? I'd like one that enable the ability to connect to ad-hoc networks (which the few in the development section i saw did not seem to mention). Should any rom for the VZW tab work? or are there different versions of this tab that i need to be aware of?
As far as flashing goes, what is hiemdal and odin? do they do basically the same thing? what about the clockwork mod, what exactly does that do? I've done a bit of rooting of devices before, but nothing major, so are there good tutorials or guides that explain a bit more about flashing custom roms? I'd like to not have a paperweight when all is said and done.
Any info you can provide or link me to is greatly appreciated.

There are not very many custom ROMs that have been developed for the Verizon Tab. Galaxy Cubed seems to be a good one. The same Dev created a stock rooted gingerbread ROM so you may want to start with that one. Some of the Sprint ROMs also work. The Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA and very similar. NEVER flash a GSM ROM to this device!
Odin and Heimdall both have the capability to flash ROMs to Samsung devices. Odin is leaked Samsung software and Heimdall is newly written software based on Odin code. I recommend you use Heimdall version 1.1.1, it is free and easy to use. Just do a google search and you will find their website.
Clockworkmod is a custom recovery that does what the stock recovery does only more. It adds the ability to flash various mods to the ROM from recovery and to do backups. But once it's installed you can only get to it by software on your system. If you try to get to it by booting, you get into the stock recovery.
Just be careful when flashing things to your Tab, it is easy to bork it up. There are a lot of tutorials here on XDA, so read them carefully.
I jumped on the same deal! Got a question too, if you don't mind the piggyback...
I chose the Verizon model and I'm interested in using a bluetooth keyboard... I understand that upon release not all keyboards would work but that Verizon put out an update and now all do work.
How do I know other than trial and error if this unit has been upgraded?
My plan is to root and go with a basic gingerbread upgrade and then pretty much leave it be. But if this is a Verizon specific update I'm wondering if I don't need to do a one month data deal in order to get the upgrade.
Any help is appreciated!

If you install the stock vanilla rooted ROM by dsb9938 you will have the latest Verizon upgrade, only rooted. Look on settings, about device, and the latest says EI04. Even if your unit comes with the latest ROM, you may want to flash the rooted vanilla since that is the easiest way to get rooted. Most of the other methods fail or are very difficult to implement on EI04.
No need to subscribe to data unless you want to. I personally like having data everywhere.

Thanks! That was very helpful!
I have a droid 3 with data and it looks like there are ways to tether the Tab to the droid... I'd only need to send a few files via email a few times a month and even then it's not a necessity so much as it is a convenience.
New to the whole tablet thing, picked up my acer 2 days ago, figured i'd get accustomed to 3.2 before i flashed anything, picked it up pretty quick since 4.0 pulled alot from 3.0. Figured i'd stop in say hello!
It may be a "noobish" question but was curious if any devs planned on porting CM9 or possibly miui 4.0 over to the a500? seeing as these roms will be based off 4.0 it "should" work on both smartphones and tablets alike. Just a thought.
There are already at least two ICS ports in progress, one of which you'll find in the Development section. Go take a look, there's an alpha you can download to try if you want.
You'll need to be rooted and have CWM installed first. The A500 does NOT use the generic CWM, you need the one available here.
Oh, and welcome.
yah already got that, sounded more complicated then it was, hell of a method though i might add. on my sgs i skip the rooting, by just applying cwr with an update.zip then flashing a rooted rom. well i may look into a cm9/miui port after we get official ics. would be easier if i had the tabs drivers all bundled up in a pretty package for me. I don't know we'll see the last time i cooked and played Dev was windows Mobile 5x (i've been on xda awhile lol)
but it brings me to the question would CM9/miui actually be wanted on this device?
i've read a few articles stating that acer is looking to push ics early 2012, has acer been reasonably fast with there prior updates? i'm enjoying the 3.0 ui but it seems as far as skinning and themes goes the OS leaves a bit to be desired when compared to it's phone variant.
Support and follow up from Acer is a case of mixed emotion, like when your mother-in-law drives off a cliff in your new car.
Once they come out with an update, usually after the "expected" date, the stock rom is pretty solid. It is also crammed full of bloatware, and, of course, difficult if not possible to root.
Thank goodness for all the developers here who find a way around it. I would play with what you have, and once you find out its shortcomings, try some of the great roms you will find here. There is no "best" rom until you find the one that does what you want and you can deal with its personality.
I would suggest getting Root Explorer from the market because you can take a given rom and remove what you want. Once you have that, do a backup with CWM and then you always have a restore point.
Welcome to the forum. This is a great tablet in spite of Acer.
yah already have a root explorer, i use Es file explorer, never failed me yet in terms of root access, editing, and deleting or even pushing files into system area's.
so Acer can be a alil slow on updates? I guess thats to be expected most hardware companies seem to take there time on pushing updates out. Yah i noticed the rooting process was alil ass backwards considering my iconia came with 3.2.1 stock out of the box and then i had to revert back to 3.0.1 lol. I'm keeping my rom pretty stock. i mainly just wanted root access to remove bloat and unwanted programs.
also curious here why on earth is Market pulling from 2 different programs?
I have both Vending.apk and finsky.apk both of which appear to be market.
anyway to get a newer version of market installed? I tried pulling the 3.3.11 from Thor's rom but installing .apk's lead to FCing even with proper permissions.

Hi everyone
I'm a proud owner of a Galaxy Tablet. Recently I got a message in my settings that there is an update available. This is my first tablet so I'm not veru expérienced. My tablet is rooted. It crashed a couple of times but all in all seems to be working. My question is if it's safe to update. I read in the forums about phones being bricked and other problems with updating rooted phones and tablets. Is there anything I should do before installing the update to make sure it works?
Any advice is appriciated. Cheers.
In general, I would recommend against that.
At least you will lose root, or you may semi-brick your tablet.
Rather than update, I would suggest flashing to a stock Gingerbread ROM. It will be almost the same as an update, but you will still be rooted. Or you can go with a custom GB ROM like Overcome or BOCA. If you want to get the newest, I'd go with CM9/ICS. This gives you the brand new Ice Cream Sandwich. I'm enjoying it very much on my tab. I was hesitant because the theme engine is still not there, but someone suggested to me GO Launcher EX, and that thing works like a charm on CM9.
Was just reading about SuperSU that just came out and it can trick your device into thinking its unrooted, ie for updating stock firmware but bigz is right, there's a lot to be had with custom ROM's
Here's the link for SuperSU though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thank you very much people for your prompt replys. I only rooted my tablet to have an access to ad hoc wifis. I'm certainly enjoying Titanium Back Up and things like that. So I would like to stay rooted. Being inexperienced I sort of was more inclined to unroot it with a superoneclick then update it and then root it all over again.
Is it possible?
And I'm only trying to do it because I believe that the company's update is always the best. (Funny attitude for a rooted user, but I only understood it recently). Because normaly they do everything for you. So if I go with IT free spirited people then I will have a lot more questions.
* Are custom roms as stable and relyable as the official updates? Far be it from me to doubt the expertise of the guys who write them, I'm just really new to it.
* I understood from one of the posts that it might be even safer to flash a new ROM rather than do an official update. How does that work? I would like to understand before committing.
* And if I do a full back up with CWM (ROM included), does bricking bother me? I'm not very sure what bricking a tablet is.
I'll stop here with the questions not to be too heavey. My tablet: Samsung Galaxy P7310 8.9 WiFi only Honeycomb 3.1
Thanks in advance.!

There is no issue in un rooting your device and then upgrading it by keis and then rooting again and restoring your apps and data, Some apps may be incompatible with new version but you can check this in the market.
Just did this last week on my son's tab.
If you are running a custom rom then having a nandroid backup by cwm is advisable and if you don't like the upgrade then restore
If you run stock then you should upgrade via keis because you will get enhancements
Hope this helps. There are sticky guides on how to do this so would not worry as long v as you follow the instructions your fine.

hello guys, i'm relatively new here but i figure this may be the place for android rooting. okay, so i read some of the stickies on top and i understand that the tf300 can be rooted when you go form ics to jb, and then rooting..
however i bought my tf300 around nov and by that time asus already installed the jb on my tablet. i still kept my version at 4.1.1 since i've always wanted to root it just never really got the chance to do so.
the step by step is here:

I'd follow one of the methods in this thread here. Depends on what looking to do if just root and on jb best to follow the motochopper method. If you want roms , recovery etc best to follow the ops method of update to 4.2.1 then root but there's some catches as in the new 4.2.1 its limited and touch due to the update asus made for multiple users and the bootloader. Many users have gotten stuck and uncrecoverably bricked due to not following instructions as to what version of twrp to use with the 4.2.1 update. So all depends if you want to update then root or stay on older firmware. Just a note if do decide to update be sure to use the patched version of twrp which is version 2.4.4.0. As it will brick you and as of now no way to fix and many are getting stuck.
A word of caution be sure to read follow and read more on the threads in the forum you'll see alot of users getting bricked and thats due to the 4.2.1 update and not following instructions because asus really messed thing up for us with the update. Been following these threads my self since got my tf300 and haven't seen so many people getting bricked before. If anything be sure to ask and read as much as can before attempting but as i'm not too familiar with 4.1.1 i do know its safer to root that than it is 4.2.1 but most want to be updated then root. Good luck and heres a good thread to follow.

A note the current firmware version is 10.6.1.8 so may have to update to that not sure if would have to do each update till get to 4.2.1 but easiest way is to download from asustek website and place them on root of sdcard or internal storage one by one and update then worry about rooting as if you root while on 4.1.1 you would only have to redo any way once get to 4.2.1. Any othere questions best to post in the thread i posted for you and don't be affriad to ask before bricking.

i've been using live sports pro. it works well on my ics but the links don't even work on my jb tablet. when i try clicking it link it expands and then it quickly retracts.
Yea thats sort of the issue i've been having i use sport tv and a hockey one. The game or programs always load and can watch but When i click for full screen it just shows blank. Get sound in the back ground but no picture then it won't shut down and have to back out then kill the task in task manager to get it to stop. True it maybe to flash not working properly but wasn't sure if theres much you can do about that when not rooted so just been sticking with the version i posted which seems to work but to a point. Usually if wont go to full screen i just expand the picture to as large as it will go usually can fill most of the screen. If anything come for flash i'll let you know but haven't found anything better than that yet since google dropped the support. Like said i also use the stock browser that seems to work for justintv and frontrow sports and some others as long as i have the flash installed though. Just hate most of the apps the the adds and crap that get in the way when trying to load the game or shows trying to watch.
hey guys i just want to give you a quick update. i ran the motochopper and it seems that i have successfully rooted my tablet. i'll be trying out a couple of programs to see if it works. obviously if i have any other questions or concerns i'll let you know
i'd like to thank you guys for helping me out throughout this process. i'm sure we'll meet again sometime.
