ROOT-A51x.zip (679.1 KB) or http://www.multiupload.nl/8QVEMO3P0R
** Install instructions **
1. First install CWM Recovery (or any other you can find for your device)
2. Upload ROOT-A51x.zip to your external sdcard
3. Run the following command to enter recovery (or power off your device, press Volume- and then Poweron your device):
Code:
adb reboot recovery
4. In the recovery select "install zip from sdcard"
5. Then select "choose zip from sdcard"
6. Choose your "ROOT-A51x.zip" file
7. Choose yes - install ROOT-A51x.zip
8. Wait till the script is ready and reboot your device
If something fails, you can run "adb shell" from the recovery and use "cat /tmp/recovery.log" to provide the output of the scripts.
Enjoy & good luck
Regards,
Nika.
Here's some instructions how to unlock boot loader:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
** wait for it to load
fastboot oem unlock
** press Volume- (two dots button) and then Volume+ (one dot button) to unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
** you're in the unlocked bootloader :)

Hi,
I also got an A511. Root is also not working for me
My build number is Acer_AV041_A511_1.028.00_EMEA_DE
I really hope someone will get root working on the A511
Its just annoying that root is still difficult like that.
There are so many things like lbe or pdroid (on other devices) that i never want to miss again on every Android Device.
ACER_AV041_A511_1.028.00_EMEA_DE , @ Kernel 2.6.39.4+
Well... While building a new recovery I killed my recovery and cannot install update.zip's anymore... luckily no brick, but does make it harder to test stuff.
Therefore I cannot test attached root script. It's based on someone else's script to unlock the bootloader first, and then install an update.zip that contains all root files.
Anyone care to test it? It cannot brick your device or kill your recovery, so don't worry. It will probably not work, but doesn't hurt to test it
Furthermore. If there's still someone with a rooted A510, can you dd your recovery and upload it? I can try the stock recovery of A510 to see whether it works on A511
I can think of two commands that may work for exporting recovery on an A510:
Try this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Or try this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Or possibly even this:
Code:
dd if=/recovery of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Regards,
If one of them is successful it will export the recovery to your internal sd...
Nika.
Well, turns out my recovery is not corrupted. Tried installing the 1.011 ROM and it worked without a problem (although I wanted to wait till root would be available so I could do a full backup)... so I guess that root zip provided in the previous post still has some error in it...sorry, will continue investigation, somehow, sometime, somewhere we'll find a way
Would be nice.
Atm im not rly use my Tab, too many Spy Aps around that are confirmed via pdroid.
lbe first for me
Well... my tab is now rooted!! See first post (OP) for the root script & instructions how to do it...
Good luck!
Regards,
Nika.
Sounds nice.
But im waiting if its really secure, that tablet was too expensive to brick

It's never safe if you want safe - don't root, that's what it's for
And yes, first install cwm recovery, then install root-zip from this thread through cwm-recovery.

Hi nikagl,
thanks, i got root on my brand new, long time awaited A511.
For the bootloader-recovery i had to use the vol button with the two dots (it´s the vol down (-) button in my A511) no matter what direction the turn-look switch had.
Right now did the needed Stock (rooted su 3.1) Backup successfully with the CWM touch.
Really Great Job!
hey guys, i rooted my a511 too thx nikagl
but i did it a lil bit diffrent from your manual
Ah great to hear.
I think that i got issues then with my VB.
So i have to get a real windows pc for flashing recovery, it looks like.

Do you have superuser app on your device? Because if you get adb with the device it already rooted but we need to install the superuser app to manage the permission here is the file
5) Download the Superuser APK if you don't have it:
http://www.4shared.com/android/lPMMXl9S/Superuser.html
6) Install:
adb install Superuser.apk

Thank you! Going to try this as soon as i get to my a210.
.... Placeholder ....
And you can just press the 3 point?, Only root, the kernel does not need to unlock me ....
Probably not. It dumps a CWR image to /dev (overwriting the factory recovery?), which is boot, so you have to be unlocked.
CWR is used to mount /system (rw) so that adb can push Superuser and some other binaries.
I got stuck, after loading up CWR. My Windows 7 (x64) couldn't recognize my A210 while CWR was running. Downloaded USB drivers through the Android SDK, and the Acer USB drivers, but neither of them did any good i continued with the rooting process (so that it could clean up after itself) but nothing got pushed to /system (which is no surprise, seeing my tablet was unrecognized). So, now i have an unlocked bootloader, no root, and i'm unable to get into recovery... nothing happens, if i hold volume down, while powering on. I have to press the reset button, to restart it properly.
Could it be that there are no drivers for Windows 7 x64?
Edit: ok, i've read through the topic at android-hilfe.de, and got it working (had to manually install the driver). Now i have root! Thank you!

Hy everybody
I tried to root my A210 yesterday using your program. But I point out some difference between what happen and the "how to".
First, I didn't have 4 option when I start the tool. I just have the bootloader option and a root option.
Following the "how to", I first activated the open mode to boot.Then, I choose the second choice (root) and that's when it didn't follow the "how to" document. My A210 did restart and boot to a*SCHLEXEDEELER edition but it never ask me to restore my data. And when it get restarted, everything was as it were.I also didn't have all the part about installing the driver because my PC still detect the tab as "adb interface".
I aldo never had the section about mount and unmount system.
Then the*SCHLEXEDEELER tool ask me if I wanted to install the custom recovery. As I was pretty scared of what might happened, I answered "no". So the tool ended.
I cheched on my tab but I was still not root so I did all that stuff again but choose "yes" instead of "no" for the custom recovery.The*SCHLEXEDEELER tool printed out many lines but one caught my attention.
It was something like :"data\tmp\cwm[...].img : no such file or dir".there is a file called "cwm[...].img" (the [...] is because I don't recall the exact name) in the folder in wich there is the*SCHLEXEDEELER tool.
But I didn't suceed in making it finding this file.
And when I checked whether I'm root or not, it turns out that I wasn't.
Any ideas or suggestion?
Still, thanks a lot for your job.

FIRST OF ALL you don't read the thread correctly:
The "How to" of Heroturtle is NOT for V2.0 Final Edition!! Do not use that "how to" !!
So here is what the tool do if you select root:
Start your device into bootloader (fastboot mode)
Flash boot.img to your device via fastboot
Pushing binary files like su and busybox to your tablet
READY!
It's important that you have install all drivers correctly!
The 4 points are from the Versions before and are not necessary anymore now.
If you have done the root process, you must install SuperUser from the PlayStore! After that you have root!
Use only schlexedeeler Tool V2... You are confusing something and write about things that no longer exist in the new version!!! No restore my data. etc...
Sorry for my bad English

Minor Update 2.01:
* correct some missspellings
* correct adb command for flashing CWM recovery
There's a hidden feature in Android 6.0, multi window. It has its warnings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So decide if this is actually for you before following these steps
It's not shown in user builds, so we have to do some messing. You'll either need root or a custom recovery to do this, but as not everyone wants root, here's how you do it with TWRP, a USB cable, and a PC with ADB:
1. Boot your device into recovery
2. Mount your system by going to Mounts > Tick System
3. On your PC open a command line, somewhere like your desktop is useful
4. Type the following command:
HTML:
adb pull /system/build.prop
5. Open the build.prop file with your favourite (decent) editor, I recommend using Notepad++ on Windows
6. Find the "ro.build.type" line
7. Change the text after = to "userdebug" from "user"
BONUS: If you want a nicer DPI here, change the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" to your preferred DPI
8. Save the file
9. Go back to the command line and enter the following command:
HTML:
adb push build.prop /system/
10. Now open a shell doing:
HTML:
adb shell
11. Now a adb shell will open, enter these commands:
HTML:
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop
12. Reboot the device as normal
13. When the device has booted, go to the developer options
14. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category
15. Enable multi-window and have some fun!
If you're rooted...
1. Download "Build.prop editor"
2. Find "ro.build.type"
3. Edit it to have the value "userdebug" from "user"
4. Reboot when prompted
5. When the device has booted, go to the developer options
6. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category
7. Enable multi-window and have some fun!
Worked ! Thanks
Such a shame the Keynote didn't introduce such feature, it's stable enough. Just think of the use of the feature on a 10" tablet.
works perfect thank you !

Go recent menu, on the apps beside the x there's a button to choose the top half or second half.
Multirom users can go /data/media/multirom/roms/ and edit the build prop directly there, no need to use adb. I did it without using a PC

Can you send your build.prop to me via pm. I can make a flashable zip for you
Hello people, I have multirom installed on my nexus 5, the primary rom is 5.1.1 (LMY48B), and my secondary rom is the developer preview MPZ44Q. I want to know if it's possible to enable multi-window mode since the M preview is installed as secondary rom.
I did it. Reboot into recovery. Swap the Roms. Don't reboot . reboot into recovery again from the reboot tab. Select multiboot tab just to ensure you are OK and the M ROM is the internal.. Mount system and do what the op says. Reboot into recovery again swap Roms again . reboot system and you should be OK. Takes like a half an hour to do though
PS. NEVER FIX SU. ALWAYS SKIP
I understood that if i try to install su on the M rom, it will result in bootloop. And my internal rom is stock ROOTED. So do you think it will work ?
When i will swap the roms, the fact that my primary rom is rooted, will it cause any problem ? Thanks in advance.
Nope my primary is still rooted. And I an typing this from my secondary M ROM with multi window enabled. All you have to do is never fix su for either ROM and never boot the system with M as your primary ROM and you are ok

sorry mods if this is bypassing the spam guards.
i cant get OTA UPDATES after unlock the bootloader LOL
They do warn you specifically that pushed updates will no longer happen.
I think the solution is to find the updates from ASUS and use an app like FlashFire
There is a request for a Rom on the cyanogen forums.
Xposed worked like a charm.
It also appears that the kernel source is available although I'm not sure from where.
Still not sure where to find the ASUS updates
Thank you very much it works perfect, but how do you flash the recovery.img and boot.img to un-root?

Tutorials and the tools are not my work, so I don't take any credit. However, the tutorial is come from China. I combine my experience and translate them as much as I can to english.
Instructions:
First, download the root files (at the bottom of this post) accroding to your tablet model (at the back of your tablet) and install the driver in the computer.
Please install in the following order:
1) iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0.exe
2) IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0.exe
3) PhoneFlashTool_5.3.4.0_win32.exe
Pay attention to the following points
a) you must install those driver in the above order
b) Don't change the install location of those driver
c) Close your antivirus software to avoid unknow problem
Then, go to Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging. Enable OEM Unlock and enable USB Debugging Mode
Now, connect your X80 Plus to the computer,
Open a Command Prompt window in "Root X80 Plus H6C3" folder (To open a Command Prompt window in any folder, hold down the shift key and right-click on the folder) and enter the following command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Press Enter
Wait for the device to enter fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Press Enter to unlock the oem and enter the following command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Press enter to flash the kernal, then enter the following command
Code:
fastboot reboot
This command will restart your tablet.
It is normal that tablet reboot 3 to 4 times automatically, just wait for it. (turn on the tablet yourself if the tablet do not reboot automatically)
After your device is on, check that Wifi and bluetooth works or not. (Wifi and Bluetooth may not works with the replaced kernal, just perform a factory reset)
If everything is ok, enter the following command
Code:
root.bat
Wait for the Command Prompt until it stuck at this command, "adb shell su --daemon"
Now, disconnect the tablet and reboot it manuly
After the device was booted up, Supersu already become a part of system app.
Open Supersu now, it will notify that the SU binary needs to be updated. You must need to install the binary once, but you will fail at 100%(unless there is a miracle, and your tablet is root successfully, congratulations)
Close Supersu and reconnect the tablet, enter the following command again.
Code:
root.bat
Now the command prompt should run all of the command smoothly and Supersu should have no message about the SU binary update !!
Therefore, if your Supersu shows nothing (works properly), your tablet is rooted, thats amazing.
If Supersu keep notifing, please enter the following command again and wait for it to boot up automatically until Supersu have no message about the binary update.
Code:
root.bat
Note that this root method are not stable yet
Known issues:
1) Old version of Titanium Backup was unable to execute the SU command
2) LBE are not 100% compatible with this root
Post reply if you have any requires or problem.
Stock Rom for X80 Plus just in case you need them, and the instruction will be translated later

It's updated from play market with no problem.
May be it is my particular problem ( kernel 3.14.37 firmware assembly ver 3.03.20161109) but.....
WARNING TO H6C4 OWNERS! SD Card becomes unusable with this rooting files. Any SD Card after rooting recognized as 0,9 Mb size and you can't access files on it. You can't use SD Card reader too.
Please report if you do not encounter this issue.
Hi.
I'm stuck on "adb push SUfiles/Superuser.apk /data/superuser" command in root.bat
I've done all the previous steps without problems.
Before executing root.bat I have set again Usb Debug and OEM Unlock, is it correct?
Sometimes I get stuck on "adb remount"
What can I check?
Thanks
