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.

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
@ChainsDD for superuser.apk and su
@Acer for this buggy tool

Thank you so much :)

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!!!
