Cant root my A500 - Acer Iconia A500

Hi guys ,
I would love rooting my old A500 ,
but can not do this easily .
I would like to play a CustomROM on it
I have already tried some ways .
I dont have the original cable.
My build is 1.062.00
Is there a way to root it by using the sd card?
I hope you can help me .
Sry for my bad englisch.
Lilo

As far as I know the easiest way is to use a tool kit like the one provided by black thunder. I recommend using a windows 7 pc if you have access to it. I dont think it is possible with just an sd card. Also your english is fine. Dont worry.

thats if you go the sd card route which is the simplest i would say
Good luck
I planned flashing to froyos version if that's what you mean !? I also want to choose which OS I want to load when I start my phone.
doesnt the rom that you want specifiy the steps required?
Check out my signature. I have some instructions in my signature that might help. Also you might want to check out CoreDroid here. I find that it´s stable and fast, with some nice eye candy.

curently i have use custom script to auto mount that hidden space when bootup to on folder on /mnt then moutn the data game to that folder .. that help me a bit for saving store for install game..
beside joeho.org/wordpress/?cat=12 is full of Chinese I dont understand much ?
but look like it giving out the hk rom ? is that right
Yes, all in Chinese and the rom is pure mz601 hc3.1
I used this rom to recover and resume the 2xGB storage. Then when I install tiamat 2.2.2, I also got the 4.11 issue, the I install tiamat 2.2.1 and the update.zip. after that I flash the 2.2.2 again. Then power off the xoom completely n turn on again. The 24gb back.
Some forum user may still hv the same problem n said I'm the lucky one. May be u also try search the xoomforums to find related thread, which I also asked help from there.

[Q] Problem with Launcher Pro on Xperia X8

Hello!!
I'm a new user of Android and a couple of months ago I bought the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.
THE CONTEXT:
I tried to upgrade my phone, rooting it and installing Android 2.3.7 (GingerXperiaV12) following a guide I found in youtube
After doing those steps yesterday, it worked fine.
I put to charge the battery all night, and this morning when I start the phone there was a message error telling about an error in Launcher Pro. I ignore it, and press continue so I don't remember very well what it said exactly (but it wasn't a long text, it pretty much said only that). Well, since the phone worked I didn't pay attention so I used WIFI and tried to install some apps like Skype, Barcode Reader or some Japanese Keyboard Input (like: google japanese input). The problem came when I tried to reboot the phone.
THE PROBLEM:
After pressing the center bottom and selecting "restart", the phone completly freezes when the text "Sony Ericsson" come out in the black screen. I can't access to the OS at all.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I tried waiting several minutes and extract the battery to reboot and try again, but it still freezes when the "Sony Ericsson" come out.
I tried accesing to the xRecovery (which I installed in order to root the phone), pressing several times back botton, but it doesn't work either.
Please can someone give me a help with this? I have read somewhere I might try installing the launcher again. Do you think that is the solution? Is it possible?
Thanks for advance
hello my friend .. i dont know about ur problem but for me launcher pro really sux and i didnt like it at all .. if u want a good launcher then download (Go launcher EX) from market .. and yeah also if u want good roms , i mean the best for x8 u have to use GingerDX or nAa minicm7 2.1.7 , u will find these roms in the dev. section . if u want my opinion about them i prefer nAa cause it is very smooth and perfect dual touch here the link .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19691591
just follow the steps and read everythink and do it at ur own risk . welcome to the x8 forum and have a nice day .

Just use PC comapnion from SE and repair you phone....and after that root your phone again and install rom( for rooting and cwm the best tool is x8toolbox)
Ok
Thanks for the replies. Thanks god I could make it works!
Just a couple of notes:
1.- The only way to access to the Xperia x8 was via flashing it.
2.- PC Companion didn't work at all. Even when I could access to the phone via flash, at last PCC gave a error message saying that there weren't any update to install. It seems SE doesn't support this phone yet lol
3.- What worked efectively was Flashtool (second option in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257)
But the ROMs listed in step 2 of that guide (X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf, X8_1.6_clear.ftf, X8_2.0.2_China.ftf, SE x8_2.1_rus.ftf) didn't seems to work to me. So instead of those, I searched and put into the "firmware" folder of Flashtool this oficial ROM:
http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5
that I found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454954
What I'd like to ask now, just to not have the same problem again is, should I go for nAa for my Xperia X8?
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484
It seems difficult breaking bootloader for a noob like me though xDD
You can use GDX without any problem with stock kernel. So, its not mandatory to open bootloader but its recommended if you want to try CM9 based roms.
If you try to open bootloader, please go through the threads on xda and make sure that its safe to open it. Some phones are not safe to open and you may get your phone bricked. Please check the number behind your battery on the phone and make sure from xda if its safe. Also s1tool tells if its safe or not.
Hello!
Well, thanks for your support I could revive my phone!!! And now I could install the nAa ROM!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
If it's possible I'd like to ask the last question, I've tried to install from Market an application for writting japanese keyboard: Japanese IME Kaede v3
[http:]//es.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/japanese-ime-kaede-ime-v3_dvn(dot)html
But the Market say "This device is not compatible with this element"
Is it possible? I mean, the official firmware I was using before trying to install this custom ROM allowed me to use it without any problem.
Have you ever got a message like this? Have I got to do something?
Thanks again

Your problem wasn't the launcher it was that you did something wrong while installing it that caused you to brick it. Always remember to factory reset your phone before and after flashing a rom just to be safe and to avoid errors.
GingerXperia V12 is quite old, go for V19 or V21b those are quite alot faster and worked really good for me, they also come with the Sony arc launcher so that's good. You also don't need to unlock your bootloader for those roms.

[Q] Choose Rom Android

hello, I tried to find an android Rom, to make dual boot with windows mobile 6.5, my difficulty is to find, a more recent and functional version possible (perhaps by not understand English very well), just do not even know which one to choose, grateful if I could help me.
edit: I find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401767 before post, this is just one of the reasons why i was in doubt, is very well done, for who knows what the best kernel, or even a Rom, but for me, i decided to install an Android Rom on my HD2, in the last 5 days, is not going well, you know?
Hmm from what I understood u want a good Rom with a good kernel and not sure what to choose right??
If so, there are many, firstly sense or no sense ??

For sense 3.5 there was one updated by boxmax just 2 days ago but I haven't tried it....as for kernels, the Rom u choose would probably have a good one but If u don't like it you can always change
Hope I answred ur question

Ok thanks, I'll try then now...
edit: great Rom, but i'm having problems installing apps...
What exactly is your problem?
do you have acces to the Market?
Let me transfer the first app, the others says, it will do, open the transfer bar, but does not even begin, it seems that i dont have space, is that the transfer is made to the internal memory? (I have a lot of space in memory card...)
P.S. - sorry, my english...
edit: i try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585420 works fine until now (no problem, install/tranfer apps), but i realy like the other one...
if you don't use any app2sd script , the app will be automatically saved on your internal memory.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21195341&postcount=207
but be sure, you have a ext partition on your sd card.
you can create it with the normal cwm recovery
Edit: i attached the script
Thanks, i will try this...
Edit: Well I tried this: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824154 ) first, because it seemed simpler, and it worked very well (5*), thanks anyway to everyone, and for everything, by the way, something else, what program i choose to see mp4, with subtitles, without delay, on HD2?
