Hi a friend of mine took the time to adapt CWM recovery for the newly released Acer Iconia Smart. I'm sharing that with you as well as an easy tutorial to root your device.
I hope it will help some people.
It's not a one-click method but it remains quite easy if you carefully follow the steps. Just be careful and nothing wrong should happen (the operation is not risk free though).
What you need :
One Acer Iconia Smart
The drivers : http://www.multiupload.com/UT61X9OI2T
Files for the custom recovery and superuser : http://www.multiupload.com/JU2TTWP5YO)
I- Install the driver
Unless you have already done it.
II- Install a custom recovert menu
Plug your Iconia Smart to your PC.
Unpack the zip file containing the recovery and superuser.
Exexcute install_recovery.cmd and just follow the steps.
III- Prepare to root
Once your phone has rebooted copy the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file to your sdcard.
Switch off your phone
Switch it back on while pressing [vol+], [focus] and power. Keep pressing the buttons until you're in the recovery (yellow text on black screen)
(You get "focus" by half pressing the camera button.
IV- ROOT !
To navigate in the recovery menu use vol keys to go up and down, camera to validate and < to go back.
click on "install zip from sdcard"
then on "choose zip form sdcard"
select the file "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" that you just copied on your SDcard
validate and let it run.
Once done go back to the home screen using [<] and click on "reboot system now".
Your phone will reboot and you should have root. Just check if you see a superuser icon in the applications and try to use an app that require root.
In accordance with the above method finally acer smart s300 to root it!
Use is also very normal, very Thank!
Works perfectly, thanks!
Edit: Un oh.. Spoke too soon.. When I plug in USB to charge, the device is going into romdump mode...
@FloatingFatMan : have you finally found out the problem ? Tell us how it goes. Does anyone has the same issue ?
Kind of. I think it was something to do with the USB cable as I tried another and it stopped dropping to romdump mode.
Still not 100% convinced though, as I was getting a lot of other weird stuff. Main one was that the stock launcher was constantly force closing. Ended up installing ADW Launcher EX and now the device is rock solid again.
The only other thing I didn't try was wiping to factory settings, though I did wipe the caches.
Will this work for the A500?
No it won't they have nothing in common (apart for belonging to the Iconia series) !
You will find everything you need for the A500 there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136
Cool, thanks, works perfect!! Time to start a forum for the Acer Iconia Smart?

By the way, on the thread on Modaco they also mentioned "*#*#4225#*#*" to enable Full Screen for all apps (not only the ones programmed to use the full screen - possibly causing issues with apps that do not expect a big screen). Does anyone know where this code came from and whether there's more of these?
I don't know where it came from but the code doesn't work.
There is another method though... I've written a tutorial but I have to translate it in english.
Here it is : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18202546#post18202546
For me it works fine... I tested it using Firefox... (2/3 of screen before the code, full screen after the code)...
---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------
And yes... Had seen the Launcher Pro steps too but didn't need them possibly a difference in version of the ROM I guess
Now that we have root and CWM, what we need next is custom ROMs! Anyone having a go at Cyanogen?
CM would be great !
It would also be nice to have a dedicated sub-forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14155442
I'm afraid that will require more users and at least one of two ROMs... I wouldn't know how to cook ROMs for Android (done several in WinMo 6.5)...

Touch screen does not work in CWM (which it never does) or in the actual system?! Did you also try flashing "OS_Acer_1.000.24.EMEA.GEN1_A23G_S300" again?

hello guy's
i made a custom rom for galaxy pro
deodxed and rooted & init.d support for GB 2.3.6
and we will use galaxy mini cwm 5.0.2.6 (it's work 100%)
and also custom boot.img
How to use cwm?
use odin to flash cwm recovery and boot.img
as one package and don't forget to use BENNETT_v1.0_2.ops
we can't use cwm by volume or home button
Q=UP : T=DOWN : Z=ENTER : POWER=BACK
AND YOU CAN MAKE BACKUP AND RESTORE
to flash the custom rom you have to mount system and cache and data
after flash the rom you have to make wipe data /reset and wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache
Download boot.img

1. Power off phone.
2. Long press "Q"+"Power button" (you will see picture with text "Downloading...").
3. Press button "OPS" and select BENNET file.
4. Press button "BOOT" and select "boot.tar.md5" (you will see error, but it's normal).
5. Press button "One Package" and select "recovery.tar.md5".

1st que.
From where you got the idea to install clockwork mode of MICROMAX mobile into out galaxy pro??
There is 1st rule of flashing that roms,firmwares,recoveries made for some different phone should not be flashed into some different phone you are using.
So remember that from now on.
Now,
Your current problem.
You are sayin that is does not even start right?
If you connect it to charger, does it show battery logo on screen?
Like the logo we see when phone is switched off & we put it in charging?

Well, m inclined to think that ur device is bricked...
If odin cant flash the stock firmware, then i think there is very less you can do.
Is your warranty still available?
I mean is your galaxy pro still under 1 year of purchase?
If so, then you can immediatly rush to samsung customer service centre for best solution.
If you want to try something by yourself,
Then there is 1 method.
I read about it long long ago.
So not sure of it.
It was called something like "usg jig" or "jtag"..not sure though..u can google it if you want to search more on it..
Bt my advice would be to go to customer care if it is in 1 yr of purchase..
sent from my samsung galaxy pro GT-B7510 using xda premium
omg.....nothing else is possible?
well im out of warrenty..and the customer care people say they have to replace the whole motherboard whch costs to 3500Rs..
so i gave up...i tried to explain them it was a software issue but they dont understand....
and i thought the jtag was to get into download mode...where can i get that in india??

Well, 2 of my frends had their phone bricked..but both were in warranty..so they got device replacement/mother-board replacement for free..
N i knw its very hard to find jtag in india..
N also, i agree that though flashing is software issue, customer care ppl nly do mother-board replacement nly..
N somehow that works..
BTW, what exact error you get when you try to flash with odin?
N what are you trying to flash with odin now? Stock firmware right?
Which one?

Excuse me for asking big thing, but can you make a IMG file from your (or anyone) working funbookPro.
The livesuit wiped something related to wifi while using Yarvik image file. Since then the wifi isn't working. I managed to turn it on using some other Stock firmwares but its not able to get the IP address. ( tried http://www.curtisint.com/html/CustService/Manuals/PRO_PLT1044_FIRMWARE.ZIP, http://smartpad.mediacomeurope.it/Prodotti/Download.aspx?XRC=M-MP1010I and many other stock firmwares). Unless the source stock firmware is flashed seems the wifi is not going to work. Even the backup provided by you is unable to bring back the wifi. funbookpro is using some wifi chip which isn't present in most of the tablets. I've been struggling to get it back from few days. downloaded many Gigs still no luk
Thanks in advance.
---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------
oh btw anyone who bricked their funbookpro can use the following firmwares with livesuit till we get an official firmware
Most of the firmwares wipe out the internal SD card. use only if u dont care about internal SD or if it is being shown as damaged.
The following are the images that worked for me..

Some have problem while restoring the backup given by Gautam.
FunBook Pro similar firmware with other 3g dongles working (try this only on bricked)
M1062_01.exe This firmware is working great. I've tried couple of 3G dongles they are working fine. Screw photon + :laugh:
The downside is unable to use other updates like PowerTab_JB_V2_by_Joby. It just freezes at cyanogenmod logo. Oh yeah!!! it wipes out the Internal SD card as well. Still the firmware isn't a perfect match.

please help.................
Hi guys, I bought the above phone off Amazon. I found out this very strange device also had a root-enabled kernel out of the box, but my question is about recovery. I want to install CWM as a first choice, if not that, TWRP, but a Google search only tuns up loose references to MTK6589 which is presumably the SoC, but nothing for my specific model. Currently when I reboot to recovery with any root app it shows 'no command' (maybe there is no recovery installed to the recovery partition?) and when entering bootloader mode the device displays what is seen in the attached photo.
I would appreciate any help on getting a working recovery set up on this device.
Thanks!

Hi, I also have one of these phones and have been looking at recovery options with little success.
However I have found a set of instructions in the XDA University about porting CWM. (unfortunalty I can't post a link due to being a Noob, but if you Google 'porting cwm' it should be the top result).
I am going to be attempting to do this once I have got my PC set up dual boot for Linux.
Will post back with news on how it's going. Would appreciate any progress you have made about a recovery option.
Regards
Mad.
first, make a backup of your device using mtk droid tools.
if phone isn`t rooted yet, use this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783
for the recovery, you need to unpack your recovery.img, take the kernel zImage and put it in the cwm-recovery. for mt6589 phones, this one should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357875
you can unpack/repack your boot.img with this tools:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587411
after obtaining new recovery.img, flash it through SP flash tool or mobileuncle tools.
Recovery Quirk
Chrizzly, thanks for the pointers, will be checking out the tools tonight.
Found a quirk though, may just be my phone.
I booted into recovery last night and as expected the "no commands" came up, but then I took the back off the phone and a recovery menu appeared. Had options in there like reboot, delete cache, delete delvik cache....
I'm assuming this is the stock recovery.
I tested it again this morning and booting into recovery and then taking the back off the phone made the menu appear!!
Any one else care to test and see if it's a stock thing or just a quirk of my phone.
replied before, my post disappeared.. this isn`t related to your device , this is recovery-typical. it is showing the android first, without a menu. you need to press hardware buttons, to get into the menu( this is device-specific, you need to try that, also buttons on the touch screen, if there are some) this will usually bring you in recovery MENU. think you accidently pressed one of these buttons while opening the device.

Re: Stock recovery. Thought it was a button press that got me in first time but I tried it several times and no button worked just pulling the back off. Little puzzled about that but it's something I can live with!!
lovelord:
Re: Files. Thanks for the files, going to try them out as soon as I can!!
Done
I have got CWM working on my i9389 now, there was a few quirks in getting it going.
The method I used was as posted in the MTK Droid Root & Tools thread by rua1.
TIPS
Leave the battery out when doing read back or flash in Flash Tools.
Not mentioned in the instruction is the MTK vcom drivers which you will need and can be found in the Root tutorial posted by Chrizzly a bit further up.
Make sure you read the instructions by rua1 closely and use the images posted as it's not always straight forward.
Last tip pay attention to where MTK tools puts the files it creates, had me stumped for a bit!! I've never been very good at following instructions!!

I have got CWM working on my i9389 now, there was a few quirks in getting it going.
The method I used was as posted in the MTK Droid Root & Tools thread by rua1.
TIPS
Leave the battery out when doing read back or flash in Flash Tools.
Not mentioned in the instruction is the MTK vcom drivers which you will need and can be found in the Root tutorial posted by Chrizzly a bit further up.

I managed to boot loop mine while messing with a ROM I made (it's not finished yet) but managed to recover by re-flashing using the Flash Tools a back up I had taken just after installing CWM.
Do you have a back up you can flash?
I have just checked mine and even zipped it's still 800MB so I can't email it to you...
...sure if I looked about I could find somewhere to upload it to for you. PM me if you need this!!

Hi
after rooting my acer iconia a1-810, tablet keeps locking screen after 0,5 sec. so I can't enable usb debugging and I can't install different rom with Acer Iconia v0.8.1 toolkit
So i tried install different rom from system recovery, but I get check.partition.size=[__PROP_UNDEFINED__] error,
maybe somebody know how to fix this error ?
This error like error in rom file. In this situation you can help rom build author. Or needs more details.

I installed RV18RC07_WW_GEN1 rom from [ToolKit] Acer Iconia v0.8.1 page, first I stuck in boot loop. than i tried install update.zip for that rom, during installation proccess I got that partition error, but my iconia after restart booted up, but stuck with always locking screen.
probably I chose wrong rom version for rooting
maybe I can revert that process or install decent rom via fastboot, what do you think ?
after all my screen wasnt locking down, just lights turned off after half sec. pressing volume up and down I kept screen on, and I manage to enable usb debugging mode in menu.
I unrooted with RV18RC07 stock image, but it did not solved my problem.
Can I flash different rom for example stock RV03RC08 over stock RV18RC07 on acer iconia a1-810 ?
check it maybe will help, good luck !
I bought my Acer A1-810 it’s 2,5 months (from amazon). And few days ago I decided to root it. 1 hour later i realized that was not a really good idea, because i did not know much things about, and it was not as easy as I thought. and voila as a result : bootloop !
I tried different roms, different update.zips but got allways the same error : ” check.partition.size=[__PROP_UNDEFINED__] ”
I was desperate…I was at the point of resend it to Acer for repair. But last try was successful, I did it, I did !!! And there is how !
1. go to acer web page --->support--->drivers and manuels
2. choose your model acer a1-810
3. As my divece was bought in usa, my FW upgrade is AV052.RV26RC06.PA.CUS1 (in O.S ), download it !
4.when it’s done, you should unzip and should get update.zip separately.
5. Put update.zip on SD card
6.Put SD card in your device.
For next steps see the manuel of update

I did as you guide ...
The upgrade is success and i press power button for reboot. After that my tablet is dead. tried following all of Acer's recomendations (vilumeup button + power button, popping battery out, hold power button in and then insert charger, stick a paperclip in reset button hole, etc). nothing works.
My tablet image version Acer-av052-a1_810-rv03rc08-ww.gen1 Please put the Flash file to it in this post thank
Hey did you by any chance find a fix for your problem? Cuz I'm having the exact same problem and I can't find any solutions anywhere.
I attempted to install a theme package via RomTool and the tablet became stuck on the bootlogo. Tried to go to boot recovery. Istead of the recovery screen I usually get, I received the Factory boot recovery screen. So, I use the clear eMMC choice, still nothing but bootlogo. I can not seem to get the tablet to boot into the OS in any way. Please help. Thanks.
Android Version: 4.2.2
SW Version: ALPS.JB2.MP V1.9
Build Version: MV7A_31D25_422A

This is a known issue of this thing so best stay away from it from now on .
Now can you factory reset your phone ?
BTW this device has mediatek ,right?
I believe that I do. I wasn't able boot to the recovery that i normally had in the past. Instead it went to a boot recovery I had not seen on this tablet before. The only only choice to a possible recovery was to clear the eMMC. I did that. and still am hung up on the boot logo of android.

Dang it ,factory reset usually works
Well as a last resort I would flash my stock firmware but this pretty much means you'll lose your data Unless you haven't backed it up.
BTW can you flash your previous recovery and try to access it again .
Also after emmc wipe you gave it enough time at the bootlogo (10-15 min so it can set things up again),right?
I gave it over 2 hours to set itself up.
I admit I am quite challenged when it comes to Android. I hanen't a clue as to flashing the device. I did have enough common sense to do a back-up to external sd-card prior to attempting the theme update. I downloaded and installed the latest XDA tools onto my PC, but I can't make sense of how to use it.
Any help would be most welcomed. Thank you so far though.

Your phone is mediatek .
Things you'll need are sp flash tool PC ,stock firmware of phone (extracted)
1)download the flash tool and open it
2)select scatter loading ,browse through the extracted stock file and select scatter.txt.
3)now click the download
4)power off your phone and plug it PC through USB
5)wait for success notification
Wait a minute have you tried restoring the backup you made .
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------
So i looked up some links for your stock firmware and there isn't many .is your phone under warrenty then best try to take it to store.
Please forgive my ignorance. Will please define "stock"?
As in a standard 4.2.2 OS, or an original build for this tablet Verizon built? I bought the tablet on, Amazon and have no carrier.
Also, with tablet stuck In boot.... when I plug it in via usb, my PC reognises that it is my tablet, yet shows no evidence other than the device manager. Does the application you mention have ability to access my device in it's current state?
How would I go about restoring the back up?

Yes the tool works if your PC can recognise your device. But the stock (pretty much the standard os you had when it was bought) is pretty much difficult to get
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------
Can you tell me the extension type (eg .zip .jpeg) of the backup you made .its in your SD card right .so try to tell me the extension type by getting SD card in PC via memory card reader or putting it in another phone
---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------
I hope its an .md5 file ,its late night here I'll get back to you in the morning .due to non availability of stock firmware(good if you can find it) your backup(if its .md5) is functional way of getting your phone back . you also need mtkdroid tools for this .
The file extension is .backup. I am looking for a decompiler. Then I convert to .md5. We shall see.

Okay . if you get the .md5 file ,there's an option to to prepare blocks for sp flash tool in mtkdroid tools. Then choose the .md5 file and wait for mtkdroid tools to finish.
Now in sp flash tool chooses scatter loading and choose the scatter text prepared by droid tools
Uncheck cache,userdata and most importantly preloader.
Click download in sp tool and now plug your completely powered of phone to PC via USB .wait for success notification.
Ok. I broke down and bought another QMV7A off of Amazon. Screen is in "MEH" condition, big deal. Bottom line.... I have a Samsung Galaxy Light that I am willing to brick. I need help with getting whatever is needed from the incoming QMV7A, so that I may breathe life into boot-trapped other Ellipsis.
I would like to use Samsung as guineapig in my hopefully learning something. I was successful in in getting the tablet back to the recovery menu I am use to using RomTool (must thank that developer....must thank that developer), and was also able to restore 'USER' settings. My backup was NOT OF OS. Huh....
With my settings I did get my dancing Android boot back instead of Verizon's. Now it is stuck there. NIIIIIICE !!
After reading and reading, I still can't figure out how to get a scatter text, or for that matter, what the help is it? I digress....
I need to learn on the Samsung what to do to my QMV7A.
Please assist in the attempted surgery on my Galaxy so that I may bring back my missing toy...errrr...tool...yeah...
In advance, thanks for all the assistance so far by Qwerty. And a hopeful blessing to any other that may teach me what NOT to do.
