Hey guys,
I just used a flashtool to upgrade to android 2.1 today since the official upgrade isn't available yet. Everything is working well, except i'm not able to use 3g. Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me remedy this problem, or at least tell me what I probably did wrong? I'd really appreciate it.
The official upgrade is out there. Plug your phone into your computer and update from the se software
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have the X10a. and whenever I plug it in to use the PC companion for upgrade it said my phone was up to date even with android 1.6. Was I missing something?
Alright i figured it out. I just needed to add the att apn infornation to the phone. Aftet that it worked like a charm
Helllp!
I have been trying to root my x10a. I managed to get to the point where superuser is on the phone but it does nothing. I tried to update the superuser as the message went something about 'bin v su' and update but the update failed. I tried to use superone click and got it to state that root files are in the phone now, but I tried to use titanium backup and it says must be rooted. I spent the last few days forum hopping to find a solution, downloaded SDK setup and all platforms and tried to manually put in code from the cmd.exe and it gives me something about adb is not recognized as a command. I googled the error and tried some of the recommended fixes at sxeveral sites, but I have had no luck with instituting superuser to full function. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I know I'm close. HEY YOU GUYS! (electric company on PBS)

The official upgrade is not out there in all markets. SE is setting a record for the time frame required to diseminate an upgrade globally. Comical.
You have to input the APN Settings for your carrier manually.
I do not understand and I intend upon putting 2.1 in it after its rooted, but it tells me that I need to flash into recovery for SU, but I can't back up the phone without proper root...or can I? Please more info. I generally do not ask for help, but I am in up to my nostrils with this and I want to succeed. I have tried superone click, I downloaded androot, but i CAN'T EVEN GET THAT TO RUN. Several others and manual. So do I flash from here? with no back up? and if so, how to flash to recovery, please. thanks.

If you are on 1.6, then SuperOneClick will not work. You need to be up to 2.1 for SuperOneClick to work. I do not know Androot though.
Thanks I will search how to input the APN and check in from here.
OK, I am trying to root my X10 and this is the first time that I have tried to do something like this. I am on step 2 of a guide which is to enable USB debugging and run 2_root_system, but every time I try to do it, it says "Error: Device not found" please help as I did the flash downgrade to start the process and my phone is really basic right now.
Thats very similar to the issue I'm having. Its related to the USB driver. However, I can't seem to find the USB driver to talk to the phone so that the root can be sideloaded to the phone.
im from india, i hav an unlocked at&t grey market piece. It shows on my PC companion dat d latest software is installed on d fone. how do i g8 it from 1.6 to 2.1 o betta?
Hello, what I want is to be able to download apps that isn't compatible with this device, I've had a look on Google and I believe I need to root this and install some app that allows me to install non compatible apps? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

you might be better off looking here http://www.modaco.com/topic/365530-how-to-root-your-hudl/
Not sure if you made any progress but I followed the tips on Modaco and rooted my Hudle in two pretty simple steps:
1. Download the ADB driver installer
2. Download Kingo root app
3. Run ADB
4. Connect Hudl to PC and allow ADB to update drivers
5. Run the Kingo app
6. Bingo! One rooted Hudl
I sincerely hope there's some dev work on this tablet but it's obviously going to rely on the UK devs. Would be great to get CM10.2 custom tablet rom!

I have before posted the link to Kingo but it was removed due to it sending your IME nr to china and the moderators here have banned the kingo program for security reasons.
I rooted my hudl last night.

It was complicated by the fact that no single site had got it correct
I had a windows 8.1 laptop
the google adb drivers refused to install under any comparability settings
step 1
download the samsung driver file at the bottom of the page in androidxda forum (search samsung usb drivers)
install this by running the exe (hudl does not need to be plugged in)
step 2 enable hudl usb developer mode
was not obvious,but its the same as for a nexus 7
Toggle on "USB Debugging" in the "Developer Options" area of Settings.
If you do not see "Developer Options", go into "About device" in Settings and tap on the "Build number" entry seven times, which will unlock "Developer Options".
then turn on usb debugging
step 3 get hudl to link on usb using adb
plug hudl in usb
go to device manager (control panel, system , device manager)
you should see hudl there with exclamation mark by it.
click on hudl, click driver, update driver, browse my computer for driver software, let me pick from list of compatible drivers
select the samsung adb, click yes
Now you can root it
Ok I ran the kingo and it worked smoothly and set up superuser
i tested it with titanium backup
The hudl is not a phone so I don't care if ime goes to china
:| So is there no way to root without this 'Kingo' thing that might be iffy?
As much as I'd like root for fun stuff, the main reason is that I no longer use my Hudl 2. It just sits on a shelf because I'm fed up of being woken up in the middle of the night by it randomly resetting (my other devices don't do this) and playing a hugely loud jingle thing. Such a huge flaw for anyone who can't store their device miles from their bed. I don't even turn it on because I'm home so little that there's just no point waiting for it to boot to use it briefly and if I forget to turn it off it could ruin an entire night's sleep.
Ugh, they need to remove the jingle if they're selling a device with resetting problems.
Successfully rooted Hudl HT7S3 with latest build.
I know this is an old thread, but in case anyone is in the same boat as me, where you just bought one of these tablets second hand and nothing seems to work for rooting the device.
I tried everything and was stuck in a constant loop on kingo. Had the right drivers and did all the steps correctly (thanks to the previous post-ers but didn't work for me due to having the latest 2014 build)
Anyway a youtube comment directed me to this version http://www.kingroot.net/down#root
Install the top one ON THE TABLET and just run it.
Now it says this device is not compatible. Just click "try anyway"
Easy as that. I'm now playing the PS4 via remote play port with dualshock 4 (sixaxis).
Yes
Yes there is a way to root without kingo root this is how I did it I got the INTEL x86 CWM or trwp and installed it using the Intel program that you can find thru uncle google it installs cwm or twrp thennu can root you hudl2 with supersu.zip BINGO YOUR ROOTED
If needed I will post links to get these files
What are thee benifit of rooting if ? It seems like a lot of hassle plus i don't have a PC anymore. PLus this kingo app I've red a few trying about it..
I have a hudl sitting there doing nothing and I like to mess with things but I'm not sure about a few things plus my PC is broken..
Hi,
Can somebody put on a new topic my request, please?
I am one of the unlucky Hudl 1 owner whom factory reset the Hudl a few weeks ago.
Tesco stopped it's server and somehow the tablet needs the server to the initial setup.
Is there any way to somehow brake this step, root it and put a custom ROM on it?
Could this idea solve the problem?

Your issue with the factory reset Hudl stuck on initial setup should be resolved, see here:
https://www.modaco.com/forums/topic...-tesco-update-server-not-switched-on/?page=11
So, that at least should mean your Hudl need no longer be used as an expensive doorstop.

I'm not aware of any 'reliable' methods of rooting or any custom ROMs being available.
Hey guys - I just went to best buy and ended up buying 3 of the Digiland 10.1 Tablets they had on sale for $70. Going to give them to my nieces for X-Mas (ages 11, 13,14). Dose anyone know how to root this device and install Android 5.0 Lollipop ?
I'd like to update these 3 before i give it to them. Thanks!
Bump, I am also using the digiland 10.1 from best buy... Successfully rooted, but looking for the best way to install custom rom without bricking? Thanks in advance.

I used root genius on Windows and it worked very easily... Hoping for custom recovery but I'm only intermediate with these things so I'm not sure where to go from here.
I bought one of these from best buy and would be very interested in all info available on rooting, custom recovery, and compatible roms for this device. I registered just for this thread. lol.

I rooted with the root genius for windows. Super easy took about 20 mins. Make sure you use the download from shuame.com though. Follow the directions
review?
Since you guys are using tablet.. What's your thoughts of it so far?
I'm sure someone on her knows of a rom to use.
That site is in what appears to be chinese, even translated its...hard to tell what is going on. No worries the thing doesnt even get here till the 11th of Dec.
Ummm what?
the site he listed, its in chinese
but regardless many reviews on bestbuy are saying it comes rooted anyway.

So did anyone get a custom rom working yet?
So far I like the quality of the tablet. I also brought three tablets one being the Digiland for myself and it is a very nice tablet. I just rooted mines as well through Root Genius. It's already on 4.4 so going from kitkat to lollipop isn't a huge deal to me. I'm using Buzz Menu as my home launcher and I Really like it! One of the biggest things I look to find in a rom for this device is multi-window.
Windows XP drivers help
I'm really liking this tablet as well.
I've been trying to root it with Root Genius as well, but unfortunately I've come across a road block.
I'm using a windows xp computer and I can't seem to find any driver for the tablet when you insert it in dev mode into the PC.
It asks for "MT65xx android" drivers and despite hours of searching on the net yesterday, all the drivers I have found online get rejected during the install driver process. I point the driver install to the right folder with the unzipped XP drivers, then it just fails and states it hasn't found matching drivers in there... I tried and found like 10+ websites with no luck.
Has anyone rooted it through a Windows XP computer? If someone could help me find the right matching drivers, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, I'm happy to hear people like this tablet, since I'm giving them as gifts.
"MT65xx Android Phone" driver
It turns out that most of the drivers I was trying must have been "MT65xx Preloader" drivers (the driver that is required when connecting the tablet when it is turned off).
Could anyone who has successfully rooted theirs point me towards a valid "MT65xx Android Phone" driver for Windows XP? That seems to be the name of the driver required when the device is turned on and with usb debugging turned on (the state required for Root Genius to work). Google hasn't returned a valid one for me yet since most sites tend to get the "preloader" and "android phone" drivers mixed up or poorly labeled, it seems that all the ones I found fall in the earlier category.
Rooted
ok so I have the thing rooted with root genius. Still looking for a rom, I have also noticed that this device seems to have a 2Gb partition and then the rest of the 16Gb in another partition. Is there a way to repartition this? Im a PC tech but very new to android. This site has been very informative so far.
I have rooted and downloaded the Original ROM for the DigiLand 10.1 running 4.4.2. I am currently attempting to load Lollipop on the system.
Can you please post the link to the original ROM, I have thus far been unable to find it.
Thanks
My first one did the wireless update after Rooting with root genius and bricked. Probably just bad download. Got replacement and updated and rooted, but having to use kinguser because of the issues supersu has with access to root from SD. Flawed for some mtk devices I have found. Lucky patcher and titanium backup won't work properly with supersu. Does anyone know if superuser has the same problem?
Hi, couple weeks ago I bought Acer Iconia One 7 B1-770-K476 NT.LBTAA.001. Seems that it is a new model and I can't find any info or faq how to make root on it. I tried different tools (framaroot, kingroot and others) but no success.
Also strange thing in setting (Apps), no option (button) to move app to SD card. Install some apps and tablet is full.
Will be glad for your help.
At first want to root it. Then need recovery to be able to use custom firmwares.
Thanks!
I used king root to root my tablet, but we gonna need a custom recovery to install xposed and be able to move apps to the sd
I also used kingroot to get root. The PC version, not the apk. To move apps to SDcard im using the paid version of Link2sd, the free one doesnt let you move the whole apps. I havent found any custom roms or recovery though.
carlosomar222, or unleashurfreak, can any of you elaborate?
I was unable to use KingRoot (PC version) because it never detected my tablet.
Where did you get the drivers?
You can find drivers on the acer support web site, but you can just try using the apk instead, its easier, by the way I managed to install xposed framework using flashfire that way you can run a module to use the SD card as internal storage , now we just need a custom recovery, i also replaced king root with super su using a script I found on a website, I can get the link if anyone is interested

The KingRoot APK did not work.
It was unable to find a solution for my device.
Could it possibly be because I have the latest update installed?
That's why I want to try the PC version instead.
Unfortunately, the drivers fail to install on my PC.
Are you also using B1-770?
Has anyone else successfully rooted this device?
And if you have, could you please share the steps you took to do so?
Really appreciated!
I also have a B1-770 with the latest update. The PC version of King Root failed.

Don't try to root b1-770 models, is brick your device.
I have tried many PC/APK rootkit, nothing work. For finish, I have returned the tablet on the store to get new one, OS have crashed (many errors with build-in apps, wifi problems, startup of device very long).
In my tests, I have found the reason of impossibility to root this tablet;
- Bootloader is locked
- No pre-root
- Android 5 have more security about rootkit
- Rootkit is only made for Android 4.x and lower
- Acer have added few security and reject all modifications on system files (with and without the Android protection)

For now, no. Many reason make it hard to root. is not impossible, but no right solution for this tablet.
Keep in mind...
- Android 4.x and lower have few security breach and can be rooted with many way; B1-770 is under Android 5.0.1
- Other Android device are pre-root (User on device is not root but if you connect by ADB, you have the root); B1-770 is not pre-root, SU is protected (trying modifing this files, and others make a crash when trying to update OS)
- Unlock bootloader, or unlocked bootloader can make easy root with right kit; B1-770 have a locked bootloader, Acer not offer any way to unlock it.
Is possible to root, but need a skill with Android OS, can compile your own Android OS version, insert root, and upload/replace it on the tablet. But you need to know what you made. You can also extract bootloader, modifing it, etc.... but need a high skill in Android security.
DON'T TRY FASTBOOT; Under ADB, you can reboot the device on Fastboot mode. But Windows not have the drivers for handle this mode. You need to Reset/reboot tablet for returning in Android OS (the hole between power and volume button).
I have searched many roots, because whant to move installed APP on my SD Card (with symlink), Android have removed this feature since 4.4.x (some devices have always this feature, is added by the developper). Rooting this tablet is totally unsafe; don't known if you loose some options of tablet (ex; my cell phone, if is rooted, camera stop working, with my other tablet, the wifi have some problems to keep connection long time).
My suggestion; wait a root and few comments about this before root. You must keep a unrooted tablet running good between a bricked tablet can't run anything.

Hey
I rooted my acer iconia b1 770!
Download king root v.4.5 and let it flow...
ive been trying like hell to root my new s5 neo 903w canadian version, but i can NOT for the life of me get my laptop to properly recognize it in order for odin to see it, in order to flash the canadian version of the 903w root which can be found on chainfire..... ive done reading and did install the cdc android driver, but its giving me code 10 and the driver wont run.
my factory recovery allows me to install update from sd card... can i just put the root file (tar.md5) on my external sd and do it that way?? ive been busting my butt for 3 hours trying to get this darn thing to work properly.
my comptuer sees it just fine while powered on... but download mode i just get a big fat nothing. closest ive gotten is "drivers didnt install properly". windows 7 64 bit.
Help???
the whole reason i want to root is to get all the crap off that i wont use, and to avoid automatic ota updates. i cant even use wifi on it until its rooted as it automatically downloads and wants to install the update, despite dont automatically download updates being checked off in about phone software update.
nobody knows??
I'd love to know if you got this figured out or not
