Acer_AV0M0_T04_1.011.00_EMEA_GEN1
Thank you
Thank you very much for the firmware!!!
Can I ask how to install it, please? SP flash tool or TWRP recovery?
In more, before to install the firmware, I would need to make a back up of my NVRAM and IMEI: so I need to root my current android.
I have installed the same version: Acer_AV0M0_T04_1.011.00_EMEA_GEN1.
Someone has idea about how to root it,please?
Thanks in advance.

Nope. You can make a back up with SpFlashTool, root is not required. Look at the forum how to use the function "Read Back" of SpFlashTool.

Root or custom recovery is currently unavailable for this ROM.
You can install this one - Acer_AV0L0_T04_1.001.00_EMEA_GEN2_(rooted), it's already rooted, you just have to install SuperSu from Play Store. Also there is a custom recovery for this ROM, look here. Guide to install it is here.
You can also install this ROM, but with this one you can't use 4g in Europe.
Thanks
Excellent!
Thank you a lot!
Question
Hello,
through your useful tips, I made a backup of my NVRAM.
Now I plan to install the ROM lollipop already rooted.
But during the procedure, I had a doubt that I would like to clarify before proceeding.
I have read that to install this kind of ROM, the bootloader has to be unlocked.
Please, can I ask if that is correct? Do I have really to unlock the bootloader before to flash the ROM?
If I have to unlock the bootloader, can you post a link with a valid guide, please?
In the advanced options of my device there is a button who says: ¨allow the OEM unlocking¨. Do I have perhaps to activate this option?
I think that this is the last information I need before to flash
I thank you in advance and I wish you a nice evening.
Greetings

Well, sincerely i don't know if bootloader unlocking is required for successful flashing, because I unlocked my device the fist day I bought it. So, when I decided to flash another ROM, my bootloader was already unlocked. But I think it's not obligatory.
Anyway, OEM unlocking is not complicated, so you can do it to be sure.
Attention! The OEM unlocking will erase your user data!
Firstly, allow USB debugging and OEM unlocking in the advanced options on your device.
Then, you have to install all the drivers. Please read with attention this manual.
(You can also read this thread)
Now unpack View attachment adb.rar to the root of drive C.
Connect your device to PC with the USB cable and confirm USB debugging.
Launch the windows command line (cmd) as administrator and type the following commands:
1) Go to the folder with adb:
Code:
cd C:\adb
2) Check if adb recognizes your device:
Code:
adb devices
If it recognize your device you will see your serial number. For example:
Code:
List of devices attached
TWGMIJGMFMDE65LR device
If the list of attached devices is empty, it means the drivers are installed incorrectly.
3) Reboot your device to the bootloader mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now you will see on your phone the black screen with "FASTBOOT mode" at the bottom.
4) Check if fastboot recognizes your device:
Code:
fastboot devices
If it recognize your device you will see your serial number.
5) Unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Confirm the unlocking on your device using the volume up key.
6) Reboot your phone to the normal mode:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done!
P.S. Sorry for my english.
Very good!
Easy and fast procedure.
To be sure, I will unlock the bootloader too.
No problem, also my english is not the top .
Thank you a lot for helping me.
Greetings!

Acer z630s db files
My acer z630s phone sn and imei is invalid. help how to input my imei number.
i nead acer liquid z630s mtk6753 db file.
sorry for english
Root is good! ... This ACER Z630s is a novum, - very special phone, - that will not come back on the market in near future, because of these five things:
1.) battery = big/removable, 2.) real dual-sim + SD, 3.) 3/32 GB, 4.) LTE/4G on both SIM, 5.) low price (new between 180 € and 300 €)!
For me, all the other missing features (Glossnast/Galileo, NFC, display-resolution (ppi), water-resistance, etc.) are not important (but yes, I miss them), because no other smartphone has all 5 points from above gathered in one phone! ... So why is the community only interested to develop TWRP or Lineage for more popular phones, though this very interesting one has still no root, since it was released in September 2015? - I would give my Note 4 for this phone - so good is it!

Hi,
Today, I tried rooting my Acer Liquid Z630S using Kingo One Click Root and I was successful. I tried using my PC. You can check for the detailed instructions on their official website. I don't know whether I can post other website links here but If you want, just let me know. Download KingoRoot (PC Version) if you prefer.

Rooting my Acer liquid Z630S doesn't work neither Kingo Root ,SRSRoot , iRoot , one click root , KingRoot and all that stuff. I own the Marshmallow (6,0) version,i guess thats the problem
So i was thinking that we dont have any thread to this device so i made this.
Can someone help me to unlock bootloader to this beatiful device. i cant get it open.
when im trying to unlock it with the code(adb or flashtool) it gives me error saying "command not allowed" i have tried many times and re installing the drivers and tried different os and nothing helps.
tried to make some research from google etc like stackflow but just cant find nothing. i have the imei right and everything. and tried to unlock with the sonys dev site. and i did out the device as e4g or e4. nothing
command not allowed
to my device xperia e5 f3311 but it also writes in the service menu * # * # 7378423 # * # * service info\configuration is line "rooring status:" bootloader unlock alloved: yes
I'm now looking for a custom recovery for my xperia e5 f3311 and install an supersu.zip and rooting proces is complete but

aint gonna happen. none of the tools doesnt support mtk 6735 with android 6.0. so we should have rooted phone to get recovery.img so i think that our only hope is to wait that kingroot or something will work on our device
You don't need to wait for the Kingroot as it is not possible to root locked bootloader with drm-verify enabled.
What You need is to create recovery.img to flash on /recovery partition (it should exist, as Sony started to adding them before E5).
There are autotools for MTK devices (they create recovery for specific SoC/CPU not model), but I'm not sure if it is safe to flash on Sony firmware as it is different than generic firmware used on standard (Chinese) devices.
Than using it should be possible to root it by flashing SuperSU zip.

The proplem is that cant get the recovery.img out from anywhere :/
So there's still no way to root this phone ? I really need to install Viper4Android on it ^^
Hey,
I saw the "Dirty Cow" fault on the Linux systems.
I also saw that fault should works on Android, I will see if I can root my device with that
I will be back soon

Have you managed to root your device?
I've been trying to make a working cwm or twrp recovery, but I need to extract the stock recovery.img to do so.
And that requires root.
Can you send me a dm if you managed to root it with the dirty cow exploit? Thanks.
Hey,
I didn't find time to try this exploit but the thing I should do is just install the package dirty cow for android (released on github) and after use the "run-as" command for install super su...
I'm not certain that can work but it should if Sony didn't correct this fault, else I will always can recover via FlashTool to a factory version.

Can you check if it works?
I just need a confirmation that you got your phone rooted safely with that fault, then I'll start working on twrp and hopefully we'll have our first rom on this device soon.
But since I recently bought this phone and I can't get my pc to work (for flashtool, in case anything goes wrong), I need someone to test if the dirty cow fault still works on our devices.
If you have time, please check it out.
Hey,
I try but I need to install a tool called "NDK" for the "NDK-Build" command
I'm progressing
I am waiting for a miracle. I also installed Kingroot and in it I found that in 1497 people have applied for root so that we are not alone. ?
Hey there,
I've managed to set up fastboot and finding alternative drivers to work on our device.
Finally, I can now use adb with full fastboot access.
I've also managed to unlock my bootloader, so now I will have to find a recovery that will work on our mediatek 6735 chipset, build based on API 23 (marshmallow).
If necessary, I can try to port cwm from some different device.
When we have a working recovery, we can most likely flash anything, so I might make a prerooted version of the stock firmware.
Expect the first development for this device any soon.
Edit1: Due to health reasons, I might have to delay this for a week, my appologies.
I'm sorry I don't have the time to exploit the Dirty Cow fault (lot of Home Work) and I don't have the knowledges that I need :/
I hope @mrmarvin_16 will got the root access (Thanks a lot )
Hello. Excuse me for my English writing through translayte google. I am writing with Russian Forum 4PDA. We were able to unlock bootloader is a link to my post on this forum 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=753685&st=160#entry54277601 . And TWP recovery we also gathered, the download link yadi.sk/d/Vq0jgohxymPCG . Problem Only here we do not know how to sew it into the phone itself.
I flash recovery but i dont have boot to recovery menu
And as you flashed? I just have all the time an error in piercing through ADB.
Hello guys. I'm from Brazil and I did not see anything about root here, just a post and very difficult for beginner users. I have done a complete tutorial in PT BR and resolve to translate here for you. Sorry for the mistakes in English, I used Google Translate. I also did a video explaining, you can understand very well, the process is simple, but I have detailed everything.
The ROOT process is extremely delicate and in some cases can damage the device, fortunately most of the time everything is reversible, but you must be very careful at each step of this guide. It is worth remembering that all the risk is on your account and I have tested all the procedures.
There is a method of doing ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL where SP Flash Tools software is used to install Custom Recovery and then install SuperSu for ROOT access. The problem with this method is that it did not work for me, and I received several types of errors between them.
ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4)
ERROR: S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (0x13BE)
Both with no apparent solution, could be anything from drivers to the version of Android I'm using. As I understand it, SP Flash Tools only works with Android 6.0, and I'm in version 7.0.
Without further explanation, let's go to what matters in this tutorial:
How to make ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL
Reminding me that I am in ROM 7.0 version WW-14.12.1707.48. This tutorial is a bit different from what you're used to, and I need to explain why.
Unlock Bootloader for Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL
Asus provides an APK on its website to unlock the Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL bootloader, the problem is that this APK does not do much, for some reason it does not work fully.
But it can release some feature that allows the installation of a custom boot, which is what we will do in this tutorial.
Download the Asus APK UnlockTool: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
The APK does not fully unlock the bootloader, but it does release some important things. Install and authorize the APK to release Bootloader.
Install the APK;
Accept the terms;
Accept the unlocking of the Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL Bootloader;
If you do not perform this procedure, you may have the error "FAILED (remote: not allowed in locked state)" error - Thanks to User lukesouzaOFC DMC for warning.
As the bootloader is not unlocked 100%, it is impossible to pass a Custom Recovery and install SuperSu or Magisk and thus have ROOT access.
So the XDA user dr_awesome867 created a ROOT method on Zenfone 3 MAX using Magisk , the whole process is simple, but I'll detail step-by-step here so you do not have any questions or problems.
Basically what we will do is modify the boot of the original ROM of Zenfone 3 MAX through the Magisk and then install this boot by ADB.
ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL with Magisk
Download the ROM you are using, you can download the ROM from the Asus website, the server is very fast and the ROM is downloaded as well. To find out which ROM you should download, on your Zenfone 3 MAX, go to Settings> About> Software Information . I have ROM TW_14.12.1707.48_20170725;
ROM: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
Download ADB Shell, this package is the basics to be able to do the installation;
Download ADB Shell / Torrent 27Mb
Download Magisk Manager, and install it on your Zenfone 3 MAX;
Download Magisk Manager
In this part of the tutorial, the download of the ROM you downloaded should be over. Go to where you saved the ROM files and extract them. After extracting the files, you will see the file "boot.img", copy it to your mobile;
In Zenfone 3 MAX, open Magisk and select Install
In the next menu, Install again;
In this menu, select Patch Boot Image File;
Navigate and select the ROM boot you've placed on your phone;
Wait for the process to finish;
Magisk has created a file called "patch_boot.img" and it is located inside the Magisk folder in the root of your device. Take this file and put it in the folder of the Root Kit Zenfone 3 that you downloaded up there in step 3 (ADB Shell) - We will use this file and install it by ADB Shell, releasing ROOT in the device;
Still in Zenfone 3, turn on USB debugging to do so enable developer mode.
Go to Settings> About> and click Version Number several times;
Will enable developer mode, go back to Settings and go to Developer Options;
Go to Superuser Access and select Applications and ADB;
Go to the computer, in the folder you extracted the Root Kit (ADB Shell) and hold Shift and right-click anywhere on the screen and select Open Command Window here;
This command will make the Zenfone 3 MAX restart in FastBoot mode. If it gives a necessary authorization notice, go to Zenfone 3 MAX and give the debug permission;
Now, enter the command:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
This command will install the boot customized by Magisk
The process is very fast, finished, type the command
Code:
fastboot reboot
To restart the Zenfone 3 MAX;
Open the Magisk and see the magic happening! You have ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL with Android 7.0.
With Magisk installed, you have numerous advantages that SuperSu can not offer, such as being able to install Modules. Check out our article with The Top 10 Modules for Magisk .
Did it work out for you? Do you have any tips or questions? Leave it in the comments.

Thanks for the directions, links, and video. All went well (i kept the moto x4 on 8.1 instead of upgrading to Pie) - the only difference was I had to enter my password to decrypt the drive first, then remover Superuser (to let the magisk built in superuser run).
Just two questions. Do you know:
1. if I should turn off the "oem unlocking" for the bootloader after everything is installed?
2. if I should turn off usb debugging after everything is installed?

once you unlock bootloader that option should be greyed out.
no point in disabling it
usb debugging is your wish. thats for taking logs.

Thanks for the quick reply.
My "OEM unlocking" slider is still active - I can slide it off and back on, although I don't know if that actually does anything.
Links above say to use TWRP 3.2.1.1, but YouTube guide uses 3.2.3.1. Does it make a difference which we use?

Lose Apps?
Haven't unlocked a phone b4... all new to me... The Motorola Bootloader Unlock information states: "You will lose all media and content on your device and will need to reinstall all applications downloaded from Google Play"... is this true??

Yes. This is standard when unlocking bootloader (I guess a security thing). You will want to backup.

Thanks, Chandler... could you recommend a backup(s) that back up data as well as apps to be reloaded... think I read somewhere that the standard google backup only backs up apps, not data.
Rooted successfully on 9.0, was easy to follow guide, thanks. But not Motorola update services keeps saying update unsuccessful whenever it tries to install latest security patch. They should download like normal for me right?

If you flash back to stock, you should then be able to take the OTA. I do this with my unlocked XT1900-1 with every update.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I haven't rooted a phone since 2010. So jhedfors mentions flashing back to stock to update via OTA but I'd flashing back to stock the only way to get it or can I get the update from Motorola's website and install that way?
Just went back to stock, and I wanted to make sure I usnderstand you all on OTA updates: do we really have to flash back to stock using the full firmware (as in the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348 ) before OTA? That seems like a lot of work. Is there a way to just temporarily disable Magisk, take the OTA, then re-install Magisk?
Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.
i have amazon prime version
Is there anything I can do?

unlock the bootloader.
I can't, because OEM UNLOCKING is set to off
Thanks for the simplified guide. Worked great, I was able to relock the bootloader and accept an OTA with no problem. Only issue is the device doesn't pass safety net - signature validation error, and when I boot up I get the device has been modified pop up.

What have you tried so far? There isn't a full 28.2 image yet that I know of.
Maybe this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/help/20-uploads-official-signed-28-2-t3810215

same peeps thread
aw man... well, I meant to post specifically to the last post in the thread but was on the mobile app.
:good::good: Just wanted to say thank you for this post, the links to the image files and the flash-all BAT file. This really saved my butt with a Project Fi Moto X4, which I had rooted using Magisk before checking on the availability of factory firmware images from Motorola. (of course there are not any available from Motorola ) The phone was continuously prompting for an OTA update, which would fail. I first tried the Magisk uninstaller, which ran successfully in TWRP, but the OTA update was still failing. After some digging on Google I found your post and used the Project Fi image to flash the phone, it worked perfectly! There was an OTA update available after flashing (The May 2018 security patches, "28.2") and it installed successfully. I love the Android community, the XDA community, and folks like yourself who take the time to write posts like this. Seriously, thank you!

Hello!
I understand you have Android One version. If that's the case, anyone catching the URL to OTA for the Android One 28.2 update? I've been looking for it for days, and the OTA link generator is not working (at least with the data I'm providing which should be correct).
