[Q] Acer Liquid S1

Hi all,
Since there is still no device specific forum for the Acer Liquid S1.
Me and probably many other people who own this budget 5.7" phablet beast consider this phone as a device that certainly deserves his own forum
Until there is a device specific forum I created this thread so every S1 owner can share tips and questions regarding the Acer Liquid S1 (=S510).
I didn't see any request for a device specific forum, so make sure to request it here:

Haven't seen anyone try it yet - but I'd guess it's done through the standard MTK-procedures? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Possibly even motochopper that works for the Liquid E2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604

Hope there will be some dev around this phone too

Agreed and now looking at the details of new Acer Liquid S2 - I feel it definitely deserves it's own section - especially when I compare the specs to the likes of Ultra and Note III a worthy competitor and would like to see some development and discussion on this model.
ps: added a request to create forum - in the new devices section - hope someone does create one and we can see some new development on this

Trying to root it, but this device seems to be well locked. :/

Thats bad news, this is what is holding me off getting it at the moment. I did find a link when searching for a solution that led here :http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2798984876&uk=2318828147 (it is in chinese).
Don't know if it works though, been searching for confirmation of the device rooted but with no luck though.

Hi spanner44, that tool failed to root the S1

Thats a shame.
The main reason I need to root initially, is to be able to transfer my files from existing phone. Does anyone know if Helium would enable this ?
If this works, then I don't mind going for this phone, and as long as I can transfer my data, I can hold out for root until hopefully more developers get on board.

Helium could be enough yes. What files exactly do you need to transfer?
Envoyé depuis mon S510

Mainly my game files, well Subway surfers for definite. My apps I can download again from the play store. Of course some games are now connected via G+ sign in, so they are alright, it is just a shame that this feature isn't compulsory on all apps/games. It would make the transition to a new phone easier.

The camera is just of average
Just bought Acer Liquid S1 a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the camera. With 8MP camera fitted on it, the quality of the picture is just mediocre. The front camera (2MP) is also disappointing, full of noise when it is used indoors. There's no visible notification when the display is off. Therefore, we need to turn on the display to check whether there's a miscall or incoming email or text message.
Is there any way in which I can have root access for this phablet? I have ODIN software installed in my laptop, and I just need a *.tar file special for this product to root it.

We manage to have root working on the Acer S510 (S1)
Check out our French Forum : http://acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=9323
@gbas4nie don't use Odin, it's only for Samsung devices....
Edit : And tools are also available on my website : http://acer.shreps.fr

Just moved over from Samsung Note to this phone as it's Dual Sim. Brilliant, as I no longer have to carry two phones with me. Works great. and less than half the price of a Note. I miss the stylus, but apparently a dual sim Note may be coming soon!

Hello, is there any root-guide in english available?

How did you try to flash the new system510.img ?

Hi that's strange as the app that flashes will check the ROM version and won't flash if your system is not as expected. Did you use the app ?

[Completed] Acer Liquid Z630 root (Linux)

Hi everyone! Looked at the threads about rooting the Acer Liquid Z630, but couldn't find any of these discussing exactly what I need.
I'll provide as much information as possible, but please let me know if I missed something.
- I'm running Android 5.1 on this device,updates seem to have stopped there.
- On the bootloader the terminal continuously says waiting for device, like not recognizing it. The phone has very little information on it (2 lines actually not saying anything useful imo).
- Found a link about the bootloader part using Windows on following page (due to being new I can't post the link in a BB tag yet, I'll be working on that later, promise!).
unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-acer-liquid-z630/
- On my laptop I'm running Arch Linux, which I will be using for the root process.
- Trying to unlock the bootloader - rooting the device - upgrade to Android M.
Thanks in advance for your help!

@Vatsal Thanks for your attention! I did read the thread you mentioned before, but it doesn't seem to mention anything about the bootloader loop. As I'm stuck with that particular piece in the puzzle, do you have any manual specifically aiming for that part?

Blu Life One X2/ Mini - Development

Welcome.
Very short about me: Most of you know me as ieatgravity, I ported TWRP Recovery a little less than a year ago and was able to achieve root on the Life One X2. Since then I have developed guides, auto rooting tools, roms, and I maintain BLOX2.com a dedicated site for all Life One X2 and Mini Development. I apologize for the long absence. However it seems as if this community has really bloomed from where I left off. I want to thank EVERYONE who has supported this development for our phone over the last year, whether it be financially, simple encouragement, thanks, prayers, or you even helping develop something new. I tried my best to credit everyone involved, though many have come and gone we hope YOU will take an interest and try your hand at developing!
As of now we have all been using the first thread we had for our device as a catch all for development, apps, support, general q&a's. Though it has worked for us up until now, a few of us have decided that we should have a dedicated thread to development ideas, topics and questions to keep everything organized.
For now this thread will support both the X2 & Mini. So when you post, please specify the device.
Table of contents:
List of current development to date

as always, Happy modding

Personally I haven't tried. As I'm still running on marshmallow, but from what I gathered from the wiko thread i started months ago the auto root tools were not successful. So for the time being there is no root for 7.1.1

I confirm we can't flash anything in fastboot mode on ufeel prime 7.1.1.
We are looking for since September. Impossible to root.

Has anyone attempted using Kingroot.apk (NOT KINGOROOT) to root then use a root flasher like flashify, rashr, official twrp app, to flash the custom recovery. From there root using magisk manager patch the boot.img, reboot into twrp then flash the patched_boot.img to boot partition. While still in TWRP, navigate to the kingroot.apk location within /system/app. Delete the kingroot.apk and reboot. At this point you should have a working systemless root without the sketchiness of using kingroot.
If anyone has the time to test this out let me know the results please.

Hi ieatgravity ? about yours drax rom, does it work on wiko U Feel Prime? Maybe it's a dummy question but I have my doubts so it's better to ask you (OP) I think ? thanks in advance

Hi guys. I tried another thing in my Ufeel. One week now I have it with Red Wolf custom recovery and Viper_garlic rom 7.1.2 both for Yureka Black running. Everything works fine only with the recovery not. It's working but not 100%? I'm not a developer and I don't have the knowledge and tools for see what can do to better working. I thing sharing this with you guys it's important. And maybe someone with the knowledge (and time) want to see it. I try to get logs from the problems.
ps. Sorry for the bad English ?

New OTA update in France this morning. Version V39, always android 7.1.1. No bugs anymore with delay for unlock phone at reboot. Now fastboot devices is detected but always impossible to unlock. All commands says "unknown command"

Hi guys ? I found one thread for another wiko and it have the same problem but they found a way. I think maybe works for we to but I have no time ( work and new family member ?) maybe someone want to try
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/root-how-to-root-wiko-view-t3740005
Ps- I tried the "Tinno" code in another wiko in nougat and it worked. Hope this is useful

Hello everybody, I just got the BLOX2 Mini and wanted to start working with it. I can see this thread hasn't been updated and that the blox2.com web is down. Can anyone direct me to the best resource available in order to unlock, install TWRP, root, etc. in the Mini, either in XDA or elsewhere? I noticed there's a long thread on the regular sized BLOX2 but I am not completely sure if what is available there will work in the mini.
Thanks!

Lineage 16 for Blu Life One X2 Mini?
Hi ieatgravity,
Are you still out there?
I'm wondering if Lineage 15 or 16 is also available for the Blu Life One X2 Mini?

X2 is dead.

[TWRP] REQUEST For Blackview BV9800Pro

Hi everyone,
After I received my BV9800 Pro I noticed that this smatphone's users are ALIVE on different forums and I am not feeling alone on the Earth with this smartphone ? so we already have a good root solution with Magisk, now we need working TWRP. With TWRP this beast will be even more awesome!
TWRP DEVELOPERS - WE (ALL BV9800Pro USRRS) ASK YOU TO MAKE TWRP AVAILABLE FOR US! CAN YOU DO IT GUYS?
As I have seen somewhere, You had TWRP for all MediaTek devices, unfortunatelly I didn't made it work (I think because of lack of knowledge I have).
If there is anyone who knows how to make it work - we welcome You ?

Ok, I will try to get other users on this thread.

Personally me too- i will donate too

Ok, So funny thing first...
So I have requested for TWRP on xda-developers.com, expected to get some voluntary help from guys, but have received a request to donate the amount of money required for developer to purchase this phone, so they could develope TWRP for it. And I thought... It's about 400€+, well You know (ehem...)....
Then I found this awesome service at Hovatek with customer support. They replied promptly and sent me working TWRP within a day or two for free, no donations required. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I HAVE EVER FOUND! If I will find myself in situation anytime in future - they are the first I will go with!!
Ok, so now, ladies and gentlemen, I share the link for You to TWRP by Hovatek: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32580-post-188379.html
P.S., PLEASE READ THIS SHORT THREAD IN THE LINK FULLY, TO AVOID ASKING WHAT I ALREADY ASKED THERE.
Oh, by the way, one user reported this works on BV9800 as well.
GOOD LUCK!

Who are those Hovatek from Nigeria though? I wouldn't trust anybody, without getting the source code as well.
If they are legit and all, shouldn't they push the source code to TWRP repo as well?

Update my phablet BQ Elcano2 (MT8393)

Hi everyone! This is my first post so..first of all I apologize for my grammar, I'm Spanish.
A few days ago I found at home a BQ phablet model Elcano 2 Quadcore. After charging and turning on the device I realized that it currently runs android 4.2.2. I managed to root my device so that I could update it to a more current version of android. The problem comes when I can't find any TWRP recovery or support on Lineage OS.
I have read that you can use the recovery of another device with the same specifications as mine but I have not found anything on the internet either.
Hope you can help me update my phablet. I don't need the latest version of android, by making my device useful I'm satisfied.
I downloaded the Aida64 application to know what processor I have:
MediaTek MT8389
4x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1508MHz
1Gb Ram
32Gb ROM
7inch
Thanks dudes
