It gives you this error if you try to install the package on 3.0.1 (at least on mine does). After I had 3.1 flashed, the root package installed (and worked) perfectly.
how I can uninstall the cell phone app? does not crash or brick if I remove them?
I read that somewhere.
sorry for my bad English!
Thank you so muchThis tool installs su and superuser.apk for stock HC 3.1
As the old root method does not work anymore I created this new tool.
How to root
1. Goto Settings->Applications and enable "Unkown sources"
2. Download the attached APK file
3. Copy the file to your Iconia
4. Install the APK & start the tool
5. Click "root"
6. Enjoy
How to unroot
1. Start the tool & click "unroot"
NOTE
- This was tested only with Acer_A500_3.019.04_COM_GEN1 but will probably work with any other version.
- By clicking root, you agree that you do this at your own risk. The tool will uninstall any previous installed superuser.apk.
Thanks

Extreme newbie in the rooting arena. Care to share for newbie level? I kicked myself for ever for not rooting my HTC Hero (now Nexus S). I'm not going to make the same poor choice with my tablet.
V 3.0.1
I Rooting for Android 3.1
Way to go, this is the great program I have seen. It makes the Iconia A500 worth having. Acer should send you a sales bonus check!!!
A program that makes a device more useful is a program worth having!!!

That is my qustion.
I recieved the OTA 3.1 update today from Acer. I would like to root now.
ota update
I ran this against us ota update and doesn't give me root. I may have messed up because I didn't unroot before updating. Any thoughts?

Sadly I forgot to unroot before (my fault).
I can do a logcat in a few hours.
What I see is that after pressing "root" there is su placed in system/xbin/ and the superuser.apk is installed. Anyhow root doesn´t work.
And if you click "unroot", both files disappear?
Can you please do "ls -l /system/xbin/su" and check the permissions?
Yes, if I click "unroot" both files disappear but IconiaRoot gives a error message: "Something went wrong.. you are still rooted?!?!"
The permissions are rwsr-sr-x
I can see that in RootExplorer (of course without the ability to change something)
I also made a logfile but I don´t know how to send it via pm?
Thank you so far.
Regarding the log file you have these options:
- upload it to e.g. dropbox and pm me the link
- paste the content in a PM (if the file isn't too large)
- send me a PM and I'll send you my email address.
Pleaese additionally check if there is some other su binary in /system/bin.

Ok, thanks for the log. I think the additional binary might be the problem. If you have adb, can you please try the following?
Code:
adb shell
/system/xbin/su -After you typed this, do you get the notification by superuser.apk on your device?

Yes, itsmagic still works. I installed thor's recovery and it is working fine.
Just remove this install-recovery.sh and call itsmagic before flashing the recovery..

And quite rightly, if gaining root isn't a security threat I don't know what is. But as you WANT this particular security breach and you trust the author - I assume - then don't worry about it and run it anyway. This is a good security breach, not a bad one!11
1.3 works....root and unroot both....my device feels laggy after rooting and busybox installation........anyone experiancing this??
