yep this will work - cwm is installed automatically with this method so you can flash a 501 rom from there
oh hi moscow, sorry didnt see your answer there - yeh td made it really easy for us by adding in cwm and auto adding root tools bless him.
btw i amended my post just for you - did u notice!! hehehe
After entering the serial no. yr pc should load the boot recovery driver. On yr tab u should see in white letters "entering download mode" this is apx mode. Yr tab will go black. (The white light on the power button should be on) and on your pc u should see the green bar.After I entered the serial number and clicked next, the computer installed Picasso ADB (or something), and the tablet goes black.
This is weird, wonder if anyone else got the same problem?
After I entered the serial number and clicked next, the computer installed Picasso ADB (or something), and the tablet goes black. The utility never shows the green bar. I have to restart the tablet because the screen went black.
I'm out of idea. Tried a couple of times, restarting computer, etc. didn't work. Any guidance is appreciated.
I'm on XP. My brother is bringing his Win7 laptop tomorrow, will try on it. Hopefully it'll works.
Hello to all,
I have created a nice How To about timmyDean's first post in this thread and extend it with the files and instructions needed in order to be completely root, not only in adb shell.
I have tested the whole procedure three times in three A500 that we have, for our development needs, with success.
The how to also answers many questions asked here about the procedure. So go ahead and read it and tell me what you think or if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Christos Hohlidakis
Christos,
I go back to Timmy's post and find the link for root-3.2.1-V4.7z, but that is it. There are several alternate links for the same, but I don't find the other files or an attachment.
BTW,
How are links and attachments different? I've only seen links in this forum.
Thanks to all the hard workers (for free no less!! You guys are awesome and I hope one day soon to be able to help with answers so that developers can do what they do best.)

i'd say the apx drivers arent loading properly,Fellow XDAers,
So, I get to:
14. Once the status bar shows Green (in the status bar) DO NOT interrupt it. If the
status bar DOES not start changing then after 10 minutes reboot your Windows
computer and Tablet and start the process over again.
And the status bar never gets any green. I left it over night last night; still nothing. This happened several times yesterday and again this morning.
I did a hard reset last week thinking that it would put it back to factory 3.1, but it came out 3.2. Will this have any impact on the outcome of TD's procedures?
Fellow XDAers,
I have followed the instructions in the README.
It starts with "V3 – Flashing ACER", even though I downloaded v4. I figure that's ok because TD put it in the file.

Where should I go now?
Do I get it right that this backdoor idea will not allow me to upgrade from rooted 3.1 to rooted 3.2 with OTA?
