[Recovery & Root] Unofficial CWM for Acer Iconia Smart and root method

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?

Hi Vache,
Any new ROMs coming for the Iconia Smart? Here's my first try:

[Q] Haipai i9389 (MTK6589) Recovery?

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 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!!

The sd holder broke off, can i buy this http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...w?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1379198350&sr=8-1 the galaxy s3 i9300 sd card slot holder and put it on my haipai i9389? or do i need specific haipai i9389 sd card slot holder.

Helpme please

good morning, thank you very much for your help.
primarily'll explain what I did and how messed mobile.
I have a golden i5s Thunderbird clone with MT6572 processor and Android 4.2.2 rom IOS Theme.
is from China, he installed a game, Shadow guardian, as I worked, I looked on the internet and said he had to use the Chain fire. I put the phone rebooted and and and stayed in the apple logo. I can only log in Factory mode but will not let me get it back or anything. I disassembled to remove the SD card and I have gotten several Rom, s boot factory and use the upgrade option from SD, but gives error. I think it's the Rom, which is not correct.
alguin could help me and give me a link to the original Rom?
and guide me step by step?
otherwise, to connect my phone to pc, does not recognize it so do not think I can put the rom with flash tool.
I think the way would be put in the SD card a file.zip and install from the upgrade option for SD, but I can not find the file *. zip

I think you still have the stock recovery...
if you have only the stock recovery you cant install any rom...
first of all you need to install cwm recovery.. some phones can install it without powering on..
so firstly find the cwm for your phone...

also you cant find your zip file because stock recovery only install zip files from the internal storage not the sd card

I need help! SM-S820L "Movinand checksum confirmation fail"

I was updating maps and the screen turned off and wouldn't come back on. I figured no big deal, its done this before, phone locks up but if I leave it alone for a couple minutes it'll become responsive again. It didn't work this time.
After I removed and replaced the battery, I was able to turn the phone on and the screen was on but nothing there, no usual tracfone logo or Samsung intro, nothing, finally after a minute I get an error message in red letters “MMC: mmc_read fail, Movinand checksum confirmation fail”.
If that isn't enough, when I try to charge my phone, instead of the normal black background with green charging particles and battery, it shows the same red letter error “MMC: mmc_read fail, Movinand checksum confirmation fail” and I have no idea if it's charging or not, but I suspect it's not because the phone feels cold, not even luke warm after leaving it plugged in for a couple minutes.
This is the first time I've ever had an android phone give me this error message and not boot like normal. I've tried all the different ways of booting while holding buttons down. It'll let me boot into download mode but not recovery mode, I've only learned this from reading the forums, but this is the extent of my android knowledge.
I have important pictures, texts, memos, Internet bookmarks, contacts that I cannot afford to lose or wipe or delete.
Can someone please tell me:
1. Am I going to be able to fix my phone to the way it was before the error, can I recover things to a computer, is it too late, phone has to be wiped factory reset? AND
2. If it can be fixed, what are the proper steps to get it back to the way it was or at least where I can extract what's important?
Keep in mind I have ZERO experience with Odin flashing adb twrp cyogen roms, it's all new to me.
As a side note, I would love to root my phone and be given instructions describing what's the best Odin rom cwm adb twrp, but that's secondary, I'm just mentioning that in case it can be thrown into the steps I have to take to fix my primary concern, which is to get my phone back to the way it was before this boot error happened.

who's pooch do you have to screw to get an answer on here?
Did you try posting your question in the appropriate thread/forum? Maybe you don't have to make any Intercourse with anyone's beloved chiweenie to receive a response to your query.

Yes I think I did anyways

disregard my previous message it was an error. :angel:
So I searched a bit on internet and I founded a method for restore your phone, but the method erase all the data in the phone .
For restore your phone fist of all you need to know your product number and your imei. For read your imei unplug the battery. Now go on PC and install kies (search on google kies download an open the samsung site), after that you need to turn on your device in download mode, on the left top of the screen you can read the product number. Connect your phone to the PC and launch kies , if it says that your device isn't compatible ignore the message and press ok, then go to tools<Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation, and type your product number and your imei, now just follow the wizard.
If I helped you leave a thanks :good:

Hey jo,
I just read your suggestion. I Googled kies to see if it is compatible with my phone, it looks like my phone should work but is there a way to transfer everything to my pc first?

Yes Kies is a toolbox developed by Samsung so I know that there is the option for the backup, but I don't know if the backup tool work with your error

UPDATE: jo's help may or may not have worked but after spending countless days trying to figure this out, I now see the immediate problem: No matter which computer/USB port/USB cable I use, Windows never sees the phone, doesn't make a beep (tuh noon sound) when I plug it in, nothing. I had responded to jo saying "Kies never sees it even with the driver from Samsung installed". Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's safe to assume no program is going to see the phone if the computer doesn't even see it.

Leagoo Elite 1 (MTK 6753) Root/TWRP/SuperUser

Leagoo Elite 1 Root/TWRP/SuperUser
I give no guarantee for this to work and take no responsibility for any damage you do to your phone, I have this working 100% on my Leagoo Elite 1 that shipped with version 1013 of firmware.
Installed from Windows 7, I make no claims on other versions of Windows.
REQUIREMENTS:
Functioning brain
ADB Installed correctly (Guides on XDA)
VCOM Drivers (Comes with SP Flash Tool)
SP Flash Tool ( http://spflashtool.com/ )
Stock Rom ( http://www.needrom.com/download/leagoo-elite-1/ )
TWRP Recovery from this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63692847&postcount=85 ) (Thanks to yankeeboy)
KingoRoot ( https://www.kingoapp.com/ )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUIDE:
Firstly, BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE!!!
Flashing any rom will wipe all data from the phone. If there is anything you want to keep, take note of it now and back it all up! If you do not know how to do this, either turn back now, or go find a guide for it.
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS AT LEAST 60% CHARGED SO IT DOES NOT DIE AND BRICK ITSELF WHILE FLASHING
Step 1 - Install/extract all programs mentioned above (ADB, VCOM, SP Flash, KingoRoot) and download Stock Rom and TWRP Recovery. Extract stock rom and twrp recovery from their zip/rar into their own folders.
Step 2 - SETTING UP FOR ROOT
-Open up Sp Flash Tool (flash_tool.exe(run as admin to be safe if applicable))
-Click download tab up the top
-Click Scatter-Loading button
-Navigate to "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" in the extracted ROM folder
-All sections in the table should fill out with files (If they don't, ensure the rom was extracted properly)
-Turn off your Leagoo Elite 1, disconnect from PC if currently connected and hit the big Download button on SP Flash Tool
-Connect your phone and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL A GREEN TICK COMES UP FROM SP FLASH TOOL
-Close SP Flash Tool and disconnect phone from PC
-Boot into Android to make sure all is well
Step 3 - PUSHING TWRP RECOVERY TO PHONE
-Open up SP Flash Tool again and it should load up the previous scatter file (If not, simply navigate to the same txt file mentioned in the last section)
-Uncheck all the boxes to make sure you don't reflash the whole Rom
-Click the box underneath LOCATION and across from RECOVERY
-Navigate to the "recovery.img" extracted from the TWRP zip/rar
-Double check the recovery box is the only one checked
-Turn off your Leagoo Elite 1, disconnect from PC if currently connected and hit the big Download button on SP Flash Tool
-Connect your phone and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL A GREEN TICK COMES UP FROM SP FLASH TOOL
-Close SP Flash Tool and disconnect phone from PC
-Boot into Recovery (Volume Up + Power) to make sure all is well
-Set language if required and reboot back to system (DO NOT INSTALL SUPERSU IF IT ASKS FROM HERE)
Congratulations you now have TWRP Recovery.
Step 4 - ROOT WITH KINGO ROOT
-Connect phone to PC
-Go to phone settings, "General Setting", "About Phone", Tap "Build Number" until it says you are now a developer
-Hit back, go to Developer Options, Turn on USB Debugging and go back to home screen
-Run Kingo Root on PC
-Kingo Root should detect your phone accurately and tell you what to do from here to finish the root
-Wait potentially a VERY long time for everything to install depending on your PC/Internet connection
-If you see a blue app with a tick on your phone screen, then root is good!
-Go to your phone dialer and dial *#*#3646633#*#*
-Swipe right to the "Log and Debugging" tab
-Tap User2Root then Root
-Get "BusyBox" app from Play Store and install busybox (this may not be 100% necessary but makes sure all is installed correctly)
Phone is now rooted, check with any root checker if desired
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From here it is easy to do anything like install Xposed framework and mads etc.
For the Leagoo Elite 1 you will want this version of the framework or a later update of the SDK 22/ARM64 version http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm64/xposed-v86-sdk22-arm64.zip
Just flash using Flash Fire, there are many tutorials for how to do this.

hello, i own a leagoo elite 1 and theres a virus (downloaded via playstore, and grand permitted by mistake) . i used custom recovery to wipe everything, format, flash new rom , etc and virus is still there every time i boot. its a clock wallpaper that comes up and dont let you use touch screen or see behind it.
any idea how to get off this thing?
(i dont even know its name,and no antivirus can even notice it. it was installed as an unroot app via playstore
thanks

Hey mate, sounds like it has made its way into your recovery and is getting through that way. Have you tried using SP Flash Tool to flash a stock rom and stock recovery?
If that doesn't work, or you have tried that already, see if you can reroot, and then freeze the app with Ice Box off the Play Store.
Hope that helps.

hi, thanks for your reply.
i can root , ive done this many times afrer flashing new firmware (stock with stock recovery) to check if virus might be removed, but the main thing is that i dont know the name of virus to remove, or to change its permissions.
i download an unroot tool via playstore. by mistake i gave su permission, and then the phone reboot and stuck in leagoo logo.
after i flash again stock firmware, the virus is always there but i cannot see any app that seems to be the virus....
i root many times via kingoroot without any custom recovery or flashing su via fastboot.
i also yesterday flash custom recovery, and wipe system, and almost everything, but when flashing stock firmware , virus is there.
is there any custom firmware to try?
thanks

Hmmm without knowing which app from the Play Store it was that did this, I don't think I'll be able to help much. If a full flash (system/data/recovery/everything) and wiping dalvik cache etc. hasn't stopped it I'm at a loss for what to do. If you can, try and find the name of the app and I'll look into it
I am using the ROM stated in my guide from NeedRom "X5601_OTD_ELITE_5365U_V1.3.1_S1019-s7yler" direct link to download here: Leagoo Elite 1 ROM V1.3.1 S1019
Try flashing this rom in full if this isn't the one you were using. It works 100% on my phone, no issues at all since install.

i used an "unroot" app (there are two in playstore that comments say that bricked phone) it might be one of them, but theres no unroot app in my phone. its hidden i think...
the rom that you use is a custom one? i have to try a custom one to see if something fix this thing.
i wipe everything, i resize, change format to sd, internal sd, system etc, but its still there.
the only thing that i see in recovery after wipe system, is that i have 3 mb used in system after format system and wipe system. well is there a way to format system via adb ..?
im suspicious about theese three megabytes...
thanks

first of all thank u for instructions on how to instal custom recovery
few months ago i was able to root my phone with kingroot,tried 2 or 3 times before succes
then i did unroot because phone display died and i didnt want to mess with guarantee so i unrooted phone, now when it came back from fixing i didnt manage to root with kingroot even with desktop version, i did everything like u said in instructions and everything is ok but when i try to root, on 75% phone restarts and i get message root failed, i noticed that kingroot app doesnt recognize my phone when i connect it as usb storage but only as mtp device, could that be a problem?
and yeah i managed one time to gain root access when phone restarted, kingo finished his job to 100% and said that it have root access now but when i restart phone it gets stuck on leagoo screen and wont boot.
i entered recovery to try clearind dalvik/cache, phone opened me stock recovery (i flashed philz and it was working when i checked for success) is there anyone who had this issue and how can i fix it, i really need root because of things like cpu control,battery consumption is really big on stand by
for 2400mah battery even a clock is big consumptor
cheers
Edit: cause i did this process few times im not sure that i did that thing with phone dialer code, is it crucial for this. i didnt think it is cause first time i rooted my phone i didnt know about that and it worked for me without it

hi, thanks for your reply.
i can root , ive done this many times afrer flashing new firmware (stock with stock recovery) to check if virus might be removed, but the main thing is that i dont know the name of virus to remove, or to change its permissions.
i download an unroot tool via playstore. by mistake i gave su permission, and then the phone reboot and stuck in leagoo logo.
after i flash again stock firmware, the virus is always there but i cannot see any app that seems to be the virus....
i root many times via kingoroot without any custom recovery or flashing su via fastboot.
i also yesterday flash custom recovery, and wipe system, and almost everything, but when flashing stock firmware , virus is there.
is there any custom firmware to try?
thanks

I had similliar issue,I don't know where I downloaded it,app is add contacts.it came out of nowhere when I played game askin g me to install,like when you click on apk file. I found 7 or 8 copies of that apk I cache folder, and deleted them but as soon as I leave that folder new apk appear with same name, later I found two files txt I think,with some numbers and add contact at the end of name and I changed their permission with root explorer, for now I don't have any issues with this app,I can't delete this files but at least I can stop them from working

All kind time of day. I apologize in advance for my English. I use a translator. Please help. Some time ago I tried to install root on my phone Leagoo Elite 1. I on XDA forum advised to install the firmware version S1019 I did all the instructions but the phone does not start at all. Not respond to any buttons. I tried to reflash the phone to another firmware version. All versions that I tried just successfully installed but the phone still did not want to run. The only firmware version that ran the phone version S161210. But this version runs very slow. Please give me some advice what should I do?

Any ideas it would help me , and excuse me for my poor englisht but i think you understanding me.

No sound after flashing phone
Hi all,
A couple of days ago I flashed Leagoo Elite 1 with the latest rom. After flashing the phone loudspeaker stopped working. I've downloaded the original rom from Leagoo website (stock rom) and tried to flash the phone again but still don't have sound on loudspeaker.
Just to mention that sound is working when I use the headphones. I guess problem is in problematic firmware.
Any advice how to fix this?
Thanks
