I just tried to download the archive and got this page-

410 - Gone

Is there a mirror?

Edit-NM, I see you attached the file to the OP, thanks!

Hey!! I downloaded the updated patched-boot.zip - on the very first post of this thread and verified that it DOES WORK with the A700 tablet with the following details:

The s\w Image Number is: Acer_AV043_A700_RV05RC02_PA_CUS1
The Build Number: ACER_AV043_A700_1.017.00_PA_CUS1
Kernel version: 2.6.39.4+

There is an IMPORTANT PART of this procedure some may be missing! Once you run the 'flash-ICS-patchedBoot.bat' files, just SIT BACK and let the program go all the way thru by itself!- I have listed the prompts I saw from the app below, see my comments in BOLD CAPS:

echo Wait for connecting device
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot-bootloader
cls
echo -
echo Flashing of patched boot
fastboot flash boot boot-patched.img
echo -
echo Reboot
fastboot reboot
echo -
echo It is executed!- LEAVE THE APP ALONE AT THIS POINT!! IT WILL DO THE NECESSARY REBOOT ON IT'S OWN AND PROCEED FROM THERE. IF YOU DON'T LET THE APP DO IT'S THING, IT WILL FAIL!!!
echo -
echo Wait for connecting device
adb wait-for-device
echo -
echo Rooting
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell "chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su"
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell start
echo - ONCE THE APP HAS FINISHED, THIS BOX GOES AWAY AND THE TABLET REBOOTS. YOU CAN USE ROOT CHECKER PRO OR ANY OTHER TYPE APP TO CHECK THE ROOT.

I hope this helps someone and THANK YOU to ZeroNull for the GREAT work!!

Great!

Works with Image Version Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC03_EMEA_DE
and Build-Number Acer_AV043_A700_1.023.00_EMEA_DE

On the first run, the script just stopped and the command prompt disapeared from the screen after rebooting the device before I could have a look at the cause.

As I couldn't find SU on the device, I decided to enter the necessary commands manually on a second try.

Now, everything runs fine. Many thanks!

it's good for A701 too?

there's already another rooted firmware for the A701, please seach before posting a question.

ZeroNull, thank you for another great Root Method. I received my A700 (US Version firmware) yesterday, and proceeded to unlock the bootloader and root the tablet. The rooting method process went flawlessly. Thank you!

Maybe he did, sometimes it's not the easiest thing in the world to find things on here.

You're kidding me, right? There's less than a dozen topics here in particular forum.

It's not worth getting worked up over, is it? I mean, seriously, these "search you idiot" threads probably take up more room than the questions being asked, I would just point them to the right answer and move on. I guess I have more important things to worry about then if somebody searched, or didn't search, or didn't search right, etc, etc.

Rooting works like charm...thx to ZeroNull...
