What easier way to root 3.2.1 rom
I tried every way, but not
Sorry my English is poor
There is only one way for 3.2.1....u must install a pre rooted custom rom....search "timmydean v4".
You will need yr "cpuid" and drivers from Acer and google, see the cpuid guide in my sig or sticky in development forum.

Hi there
I'm new to Android and will receive my Transformer tomorrow.
First I will update it to 3.1, and then I'd like to root it.
But... there my wisdom ends. What exactly do I have to do to root it? Is it a command, do I have to install something or a whole ROM?
Thanks for a hint, and sorry, I'm just a noob
Easiest thing to do is out of the box (don't let it update OTA to 3.1) root & install CWM (guide here). Then, install one of the custom ROMs around here, either Prime 3.1 or Modaco. Both are basically the same so take your pick.
First of all wrong forum. This should be in general. Second, did you even take the time to read? To answer your question you need to be on 3.01 in order to root so I wouldn't upgrade to 3.1 if you wanted to root. There is a guide here that will show you step by step on how to setup your Tf for root.

Again,wrong forum. But here are the steps...u will probably be pn 8.2.3.9 or 8.2.3.13. Anyways u have to downgrade to 8.2.3.9,then root n inatall cwm. Then install primordial 3.1.n custom kernel if u want. Anything u upgarade to,u will have to downgrade on 3.9 because currently theres root method for 3.13 or hc3.1.

You can also install one the 3.2 packages on the link I gave then run a check for updates and update it to 3.2.1 package OTA, then your good to go.

Hi, My A500 bricked its self and I sent it for repair. 9 weeks later and it comes back but play market is gone and in its place I have go market in chinese.
Plus 5 apps also in chinese.
Not being able to speak/read chinese I find this mildly anoying.
I have managed to root it using afterota. Many thanks.
Now I'm stuck, should I try to flash a new rom or send it back to acer.? If flashing myself a good guide would be needed.
Here is the info
Android version
4.0.3
Kernel version
2.6.39.4+
Image version
Acer_AV041_A500_RV15RC01_GC_GEN1
Build number
Acer_AV041_A500_1.050.00_GC_GEN1

well i wouldnt want to let acer near it after that! Been a few reports of this happening after 'repair'...
Do you have a custom recovery installed...cwm, twrp etc??
civato has a "Official Acer Stock Roms ICS Rooted" thread check it out. D/L as applicable version and put it on yr ext sd card.
Install via cwm!!!
U do have a custom recovery installed??
If not then you will need to flash the unlocked bootloader
There is a 'tool' to help the process called 'afterOTA'
Personally I prefer the manual method via nvFlash but you'll be fine with afterOTA.
You will need the following:
A PC
A good quality micro usb cable.
The Acer Drivers and adb and fastboot from the android sdk.
Drivers installed correctly
a fully charged or at least 70% battery
the flash itself takes less than 30 seconds
getting set up to do the flash successfully will take al least an hour usually more!!!! some of us have been stuck for days after 'softbricking'- i lie not!!!!!
So take your time read thru the Guides and follow the steps to the letter - good luck
Ok' I'm going in.
.....
No luck I'm affraid, I've tried everything including all the flash tools. No joy.
It won't work with nvFlash or blackthund3r
Will not boot into recovery. I get the recovery verified failed message.
So now I'm really stuck' looking like acer here I come unless anyone else has any ideas?
trying he alternate root method (blackthund3r)
I'm stuck at stage 2 uploading image. does anyone know how long this should take.
sorry to ask here but i cant post in blackthund3rs topic im a noob

Can't root 3.2.1. Having the same problem. Tried the adb method, ginger break, iconia root, etc. Found method to revert back to 3.0 and then root, install recovery and go from there. In the middle of trying that now. Google is your friend.

There is no root for hc3.2.1
Check for ota update in settings>about device.
Sticky in Dev forum with stock ota update.zips.
BUT b4 you do anything...please go to the cpuid guide in my Sig and have a read.
YOU MUST GET YOUR CPUID its the only thing that can save you from eternal brickdom. I jest you not!!!

Hi, I'm really new to Android rooting. I rooted my A500 weeks ago and was finally successful. Now I've been looking forward to custom ROMs and Overclocking but all this requires BOOTLOADER and I dont understand about that. I've read various threads for it but none of them helped as I said before, I'M REALLY A NOOB!
Can someone please guide me STEP by step and give appropriate links and files for it?
Thanks!
