Full root for A50x ICS 4.0.3[LEAK]. Simple method.

---

Original article is published on this site and created by ZeroNull and vdsirotkin (4pda.ru).

For A500 and A501 ICS[LEAK] firmware.

How to:
1. The tablet should be already upgraded to stock ICS for A50x (or stock ICS A10x/A510 for other tablets).
2. Download this archive on the computer. Unpack it to any place.
3, On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on.
4. Сonnect the tablet to the computer (Before connection it is recommended to update the driver for a tablet from here: A10x, A50x, A510).
5. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file: for windows - runit-win.bat; for Linux - runit-linux.sh.
The root is received!
6. Now you will have to install the following programs:
SuperUser APK
Titanium Backup

ATTENTION!
Don't install Busybox! It is already installed and established! If you reinstall it, some programs will become unable to access root permissions!

Change:
The error of final check of receiving root is corrected (The messaging that "root" isn't received, though it was not so)
Support of A510 of tablets is improved

This method uses the 'mempodroid' exploit and some workings out by ZeroNull and vdsirotkin (4pda.ru).


PS: Command "Mount ro/rw" for directory /system (partition) - works perfectly!
PS2: Sorry for the Russian language in the old executable file, the archive has been confused

I wrapped something like this up into a GUI ages ago Perhaps I'll make a linux & mac one at some point too. My GUI installs Superuser and allows the user to install Trebuchet, FaceLock (currently buggy) and other tweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1520469

Once you get the success message, feel free to unplug your tablet and play around with the system folder as you see fit

My method work "as it should".

How exactly?! Surely you'd need a patched kernel for that. The bash scripts in the zip file are incredibly complicated

Aw com'on. One of you guys install the full 500 ICS, and see if this works!

Then see if you can push a recovery image.

Are you absolutely sure?

I just flash my Acer A500 with Acer_AV041_A500_0.019.00_WW_GEN1
This method works with my. I can use titanium backup and superuser. Thank you!
But I don't know how to test push a recovery image.

below is my way to root.
I use windows Vista.
1. On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on.
2. Сonnect the tablet to the computer.
3. Unpack the files. then put ICS_rooting folder in c:\ (I try unpack in other place not work)
4. then run runit-win.bat by run as adminstrator.
Done

This seemed to work for me on Acer_AV041_A500_0.009.00_WW_GEN1

Thanks a lot.

I have installed Acer_AV041_A500_0.019.00_WW_GEN1 and aquired root using this method.

I will try to push CWM or RA recovery.

The root access works perfectly. I just deinstalled all acer bloatware and other stuff.

Edit:
The strange part was, I could not get the ADB interface working on my laptop. When I switched my Acer from MTP (Media Device) to PTP (Camera device), found in storage settings, the ADB interface showed up in my device list under Windows 7. Then after a driver install, it worked perfectly.
When I switch back to MTP, the ADB interface disappears again.

Maybe a reboot on the win system?
