I recently bought an Acer Iconia A200 tablet. The first night i got it I was suprised to find that it was pre-installed with Honeycomb 3.2.1 instead of Ice Cream Sandwhich which was released for this table months ago! When i would go to About tablet<software update, it would never find an update. I, being the noob I am, figured I'd just root it and install ICS. I learned the hard way that doesnt work. The simpleroot method is only for ICS 4.0.3 so when I used it on my A200 running HC 3.2.1, it soft bricked. leaving me having to go into fastboot and manually flash the Honeycomb boot.img because i couldnt flash roms through CWM (because of no root). This got my Tablet booting finally but left it stuck on Honeycomb 3.2.1 with the bootloader 3.1.3. Leaving me unable to update to ICS and unable to root (from my understanding) Are there any talented Dev's out there willing to help me possibly downgrade my bootloader or go some route of fixing my device so i can root and install CM9? If anyone can help please reply or shoot me a PM and we can hop on an IRC channel! Thanks in advance!
update?

I bought a couple Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablets to develop native ARM Linux applications with. One is stock and updating fine. The other was rooted with the CleanRom image. (4.03) Samsung has image updated my unrooted tablet twice since I got them. There doesn't seem to be any activity or response to messages as to the status of an updated CleanRom.
All I'm after is a rooting method so I can compile native on the device and run a chroot Ubuntu image. I would like my Android updates to remain current but still remain rooted. What would be the best rooting method for me and my SGT2_10.1?
Thanks for any advice or comments!
I was wondering if anyone might have an idea on the best direction to take keeping a SGT2_10.1 rooted tablet current with Samsung's latest release.
Thanks in advance for any help or comments on this topic!

So I bought this new phone from (what I think) is a new company, O+ (O plus, whatever).
I've tried lots of possible methods to root their Oplus 8.7 Android phone but alas, that's not happening.
I'm a bit inexperienced when it comes to ROM and builds, etc, but if it would be any help, here are the details that I can find when I checked Settings > About Phone.
System updates: Oplus_A100ALPS.GB2.MP.V2
Model number: O+_8.7_Android
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: Oplus_A100ALPS.GB2.MP.V2
I really hope someone can help me here. Thank you.
I also have this phone. Tried using different Rooting software to no avail. The farthest I have gone to "semi-rooting" it is to change the default installation of apps and games to directly go to the SD. This phone has really bad internal memory size. Anyway, let me know if you discover a way to root this. Cheers

how can i change the default installation of apps and games to sd card. I also have this phone and the only problem that i have is the size of the internal memory. pls teach me how to do the semi rooting.. tnx..
rooting
yep, have the same phone with same problems as with you guys.. though i found a different way to boot up the phone towards its "factory s
et-up" : turn off your phone, then after a while, simultaneously press volume down key and power button, it should bring you to the set-up i mentioned..im quite hesitant to tweak at the settings for it might break my phone, though i never found the "download" setting which ive seen in other phones has that setup which you could upload certain files in relation to rooting the phone.. Again i turned off the phone, this time i pressed volume key up and power button, and the Triangle sign with the exclamation point inside it (most known as the warning sign) with the android mascot beside the warning sign appearing on the screen, may be this leads to that "rooting" enigma we have.. hope this helps, im not a hacker but hope this leads to something.. keep me posted you guys.. thanks

Hi all,
I'm new to the XDA-Dev Forums... and i'm desperate :crying: .
I recently purchased a Measy B4K android TV-Box / Stick. I want to upgrade this to at least android 4.2.2 or 4.3 if possible as it came with 4.1.1, but I cant find any custom roms for this product anywhere. It's supposed to support up to 2160p output, but for some reason even if i set it to a 1080p display setting it still looks like its just upscalling from 720p. Would really like to get a true 1080p kernel on the device.
Is it possible to use a "Generic" 4.2.2 or 4.3 android build? I unfortunately don't have a lot of experience with custom rom builds or installations, but i really want to learn if ANYone can assist I would REALLY appreciate it so so much!
i know this an old thread but i'll answer anyway as we just found some intresting stuff & upgrade that helps a lot
also to be sure it's this a31 device we have and i'm guessing your talking about the same thing : http://www.measy.com.cn/product/showproduct75_en.htm
not a custom rom but we've gotten hold of a developpers 4.2.2 RC3 firmware for measy b4k. We had trouble getting installed but another person found a way to do it. You need phoenixcard 3.09 (http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....S918S-firmware&p=131526&viewfull=1#post131526)
this rom https://alimail.alibaba.com/alimail...eb961&[email protected]
burn the rom as product using phoenixcard, install terminal app, erase nanda then, insert phoenix burned sdcard in measy b4k box, reboot. because the boot is gone (nanda) it will try to boot from sd card and start the firmware upgrade the normal methods using the hidden reco button on the left did not seem to work. but this did, i did as well as someone else.
To give you an idea with original firmware that came with the device i had around 10000 - 11000 antutu score with this dev build firmware i have 19000 antutu score and everything feels a lot smoother & faster.
1st succes upgrade

how to erase nanda on it
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....S918S-firmware&p=132947&viewfull=1#post132947
do note if you fail at doing something but you erased nanda your device will not boot ! it's a bit risky but worked without a problem with me
Thanks for the info!

Hi all,
I've never installed android on a mobile device & I'm not sure if I can use any flavor of Android available
or if it's advisable.
Google's dev site, has Nexus 7 4.1.1 kernels available for download. I don't know if I should install it for
my generic tablet. I'm a bit hesitant in installing, even though it's what's installed, because this device
is my baseline for testing a game that I'm developing for low-end hardware.
My problem is that the company pushed updates that BRICKED my tablet.
If anyone has thoughts or can help me I would really appreciate it.
The company's support is atrocious! This will be the 2nd time I'd have to send a device back to them for
an RMA...once is enough.
Specs if it helps: 1GHz dual core Cortex-A9, Mali-400 MP GPU, 1Gb RAM
Thanks in advance...
Have you fixed it, I have the same problem, I need the original rom to flash. At Machspeed they simply won't do it. If you happen to have yours working I heard that there is a way to extract and zip the rom for future flash in case you need it.
