[Q] Root Acer A500 Android

Hi
I am trying to root Android Acer A500. I downloaded Gingerbreak.apk and tried it but it doesnt do anything and just runs for 15 minutes and the device turns off. No reboot or anything.
Can someone help me to root the device. Also I am worried, if there is a possibility that I will loose my files when I root
Thanks

[Completed] Android 4.2 on "Unknown device"

Hi,
I've bought a new pad that is "unknown : not popular , called Accent Atlas"
Everything works fine ,but i have a prob with the navbar , it's uncustomizable and it dosn't contain the setting button.. So i want to replace it with anonther one more customizable , is that possible without root?
Thank you.
p.s : my pad dosn't have any custom rom or even a downloadable frimware

Hi there,
It won't be possible without root I'm afraid, the device is very unknown so you could (if you wanted) try some very generic root methods like Root Many Android, which works on plenty of 4.0+ devices or Framroot
Once rooted GravityBox allows you to customise the NavBar to some degree.
I hope this is useful, but unfortunately without root you won't be able to do much

Ok Thank you for your answer ,the prob is trying to root isn't 100% safe and I can't even get it official framework,And if i root i will lose the waranty
i will leave it as a last choice ,any other suggestion?
Thank you

None sorry, any unofficial method will need root

my device dosn't have smartstay, and the similare google play apps are wasting battery, is there any up that allow me to set a different screen turn-off time for specific apps? because i need that my screen stay on for longer time only when i'm reading (=when using net browser or a pdf reader)
Thank you

Root exploits are always detected as malware.
The issue is that your device is so unknown that there are no specific root exploits for it. If none of the generic root methods work, you mat struggle to find one that works.
You could always ask in the Q&A section to see if anyone with the same device has rooted it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help
Other than that I don't really see any other way forward.

Thank you for your answer
I don't know how but i installed the supersu and everything is working fine, i replaced my navbar with the ultimate dynamic navbar, that fixed my first prob but now i have a new one, in the old navbar i used to have a little statusbar now i don't , so i can't see battery % neither the new notifications and i don't have toggles.... any solution for that? can i add thats to the UDN ? or is there other better navbar? (i preffer to not add a new statusbar in the top of screen)
Thank you!

May I remind you that this is not a tech support area, merely a point in the right direction, you need to ask any questions in the relevant thread. So for UDN please use this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198 (Users will be more knowledgeable as they use it more often so please ask there)
For SuperSU questions regarding root ask here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
And if you need more answers please ask in the general Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help

[Completed] [Q] Help request- Rooting Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S LT18A

I Know I aleady posted a thread like this, but it was closed before a found a solution, please dont close this one too!
I have an old smartphone (model specified above), which I have tried to find a root for it (like FOREVER), every single root I found wasn't able to do the job. Either the program alerted me that the phone is not supported , or tried to root and failed. I have looked into other threads with the same problem, and they either didn't have a solution, or simply directed me towards stickys with rooting programs that also didn't work.
I want to root it so I can uninstall some of the build-in apps that I dont use (such as facebook, youtube, and out-of-date & un-updateable operator apps.). They function poorly, take up space, and worst of all: they run in the backround (and on old phones such as this every megabyte of RAM counts.) Please help me.
Is there something I'm missing? A vital step a skip or something? Do i need to unlock the bootloader to root?
I probably have a custom ROM of the operator this phone was originally purchased from, does it make any difference?
If Anyone can explain to me step-by-step what and how to root, or point me to a usefull guide, i will be forever thankful.
The file attached is a example to one of many failed roots.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S LT18a
Firmware version: 2.3.4
Build:4.0.2.D.0.5

[Completed] [Q] Time2touch gc1044e in need of rooting help please,

So i picked up this 10.1 '' tablet in a sale on amazon, i wanted to play hearthstone on it when i was away from my pc (as i have a problem), however the 'unique' way in which HS installs to the internal memory no matter what made me look up solutions, when doing so i figured out that i must not have a rooted device as i wasn't able to use the workarounds provided.
So then i reckon the internet could help, so far i haven't been able to find a solution and was told from multiple people (rooting is easy...just look up your model and...) problem is i cannot find any mention on the internet as to a solution for me,
Please, please, please help me i am running out of patience with this yoke, and if i could get help from your professional's i would be in your debt.
If someone has an idea please help i can provide any/all info to do with this tablet if necessary:
Time2touch 10.1'' gc1044e running 4.4.4 kitkat,
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
regards,
Donbro.
