Hi,
I have Acer Iconia B1 and I red the specification from different sites and some have wrong info as it support dongles and I purchased it but now I cant do anything. I want to connect it to dongle so can anyone help me how can I do it?
I am ready to root this device but I need to connect it as this device was a gift for my mom and there is no wifi at her place...
Pls help me...
Thanks in advance
I have RV04RC04 (2 times) and one tablet with 05, and an upgrade to 05 ( which gives the partition error ) but for some reason I find the RV04RC04 better ( mainly GPS ) as long as that stupid acer won't give changelogs I find it a bit tricky to change the 04 to 05 if the partition error is gone, logically a higher number means better, but is this the same now, with other words, if the partition error is fixed do I get better changing from 04 to 05 ??? scary this.. I do find a nice app that change it in a nexus in the market,until reboot, so some apps that say they don't work on my acer ( but do it when installing from sd card) kan now directly installed from the market... I am more and more happy with all my acers now
The update option system settings-->about this tablet --> software updates is not there. So there is no update option. I checked all settings options, but nothing about software updates. Also the system settings -> apps -> google framework services is not there, but I can erase all data at system settings --> backup & reset--> factory data reset.
I don't have a Linux or Mac osx. So I'm afraid I have to rely on you guys
Here is what I've done. I have mimicked a kernel image but only
my little ARM code is executed. I have included the sources so you can see I don't do anything sinister.
The bootloader loads the kernel in RAM at address 0x80208000 and passes execution at that address without
erasing itself from memory. I'm searching in the bootloader space the partition table copy, a printf function
and a write_aboot function which actually writes the copy to flash. Once I've found all these I simply let
the bootloader functions do the work and unlock the phone.
There are 2 images included: test-only which only searches for functions and if everything is found it
prints the addresses and some messages; the unlock-cloudmobile is the real thing.
I have already tried it on my phone and it seems to work but my phone is already unlocked.
So just run first 'fastboot boot test-only.img' - this image doesn't change anything in your
phone just prints its status. If all the messages are displayed then you can try the unlock code
with 'fastboot boot unlock-cloudmobile.img' You will have to take the battery out after this because
I haven't bothered to understand how to read buttons or restart the bootloader so I simply halt
the processor once I'm done.
Acer released a Fix for the Invalid Partition Error.
Everyone, unable to update their device should try the apk.
Download it here, install it. Run it, click on "FixG1PMT" and uninstall the app, after procedure is done.
Good luck!

Hi,
Is the bootloader of the B1 still unlockable ?
A dev (zelea2) over at modaco was able to build a method to unlock the bootloader of the Acer cloudmobile (Dual Carrier version that was still unlockable). He's work is really clever and he thinks this might work with other Acer devices (as is or with minor tweaks).
In order to minimize the risk he built a test routine that you can safely run to see if your device would positively react to the unlocking process.
Here is the topic : http://www.modaco.com/topic/362993-possible-ways-to-unlock-8260a-1/
And here is the method :
If any dev on the B1 can advise wether this might work or not. I don't own a B1 so can't try myslef bu I thought this would be worth a shot.
If it works, all thanks goes to zelea2

I did this, still nothing I don't even get like there's an update available on my tablet
I havn't got the RV05RC06 update yet or anything, just still on Acer_AV051_B1-A71_RV05RC05_WW_GEN1
Is it just me or any new update might just not be out yet in India ?!

If it's not, google for it. Somehow your Linux hasn't detected the Iconia B1, although the android sdk for Linux brings all needed drivers with it.

I opened mine to take a look inside (because I wanted to massage dead pixel)
It's easy to open...just put in a flat plastic or screwdriver on the side and open it to the usb connection - i do not recommend to open it on the top because the part where the audiojack is cracking easy...
I was first very disappointed about the fact that there is no vibration but I think the round thingy above the QR-Code is a vibration module. it's connected to "JP19"
The antennas (GPS+WiFi) are very cheap charlie...
3.7V 2710mAh Battery - Think you can find a easy replacement for that...
maybe free usb slot? idk
nice prework from acer here
