I've managed to make a backup using MTK droid and root tool. hackwerk, it seems you are getting ahead of me now

can you post your recovery if it's working ? thanks !

Is it safe to install and activate Xposed framework on the E3 ?

I got a notification today about a 8.23 Mb update ! But there is no changelog anywhere and I don't want to install it yet...
Anyone got it ?

Yes I already have a datamap / scatter file (from MTK Droid) and used it succesfully to dump / backup all blocks to images (recovery.img boot.img android.img etc) on my non-rooted phone! (however USERDATA block fails in SP Flash Tool, and I do not know the end address of the ROM thus cannot dump the last block (__NODL_BMTPOOL))
Made a CWM custom recovery with the Official CWM Builder online, but the new output recovery was larger than my stock input one!?
Big problem for now, as I cannot fit it in the current recovery space?!

Xposed I do not know? However I strongly advise everyone NOT to install / run programs or apps or packages etc which are not on XDA or are closed source! There's a LOT of virussing / spying / trojanning going on in this world.

The official Acer update is only (as far as I found out);
1) Update of the build from Acer_AV052_E380_1.007.00_EMEA_GEN1 > Acer_AV052_E380_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1
2) Update of the APN version from APN 2.053 > APN 2.062
I colored the 2 changes green in my FP.
So just do it, its fine I guess, and we will get Android 4.4 Kit Kat soon anyways...

tiliarou · Apr 13, 2014

Ok, and do you think that with root I would be able to retrieve this last block ?
I can confirm that even after reboot the root is there ! I used Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to make the OTA update, just to be safe and it managed after 2 restores to put back root. I don't know if it was needed.
I don't see any change with this update, just a traduction error corrected in the settings menu (flip cover wake up)...
Would be nice to have a changelog from Acer just to know !

I can also confirm that Xposed Framework is perfectly working on this phone.

Size of the last 2 partitions is now known and added but the reason it cannot be read by SP Flash Tool is that the sizes are not a multiple of 512 or so!?

Yeah baby! Great news!
I managed to install the ClockworkMod Recovery (rua1 autoCWM 5.5.0.4) made by the MTK Droid Root & Tool, and Downloading it to my phone in the older SP Flash Tool 3.1344!
After that of course installed SuperSU and we are ROOT, by a simpel/safe/clean method!
Links and stuff are in the first post.

Problems/ToDo now:
1) This CWM is removed after a normal (re)boot and replaced by the stock one (Android system recovery 3e). How!? And how to stop this?!
2) Newer CWM (6.0.4.7) like the one the online CWM Builder makes for me (altering my stock image) seems to big for the partition

3) Custom ROM making (CyanogenMod!!!), but let's wait for 4.4 Kit Kat and the sources of that, which will be available in the next months.

Data to Ext SD

We need to extend space to our external SD card, as the internal phone memory is not huge.

However I really really cannot see all differences with pro's and con's anymore between all options, so please help me!

What should we do, with this rooted stock Acer ROM (Android 4.2.2)(with EXT4 partitions and CWM recovery)?

1) Use one of the famous scripts INT2EXT, Data2EXT/D2EXT, Mount2SD/M2SD, Apps2SD/A2SD etc. etc.
1b) For INT2EXT we need Init.d support, so whats the best way to add that? An App like Init.d Toggler or Universal Init.d or so? (4.4 support would be nice!)
2) Just use simple symlinks with Link2SD/L2SD or Apps like FolderMount etc
3) Repartition and make data partition on SD, using Meteos etc
4) Use one of the many Apps to move Apps, like Titanium Backup etc.

What CAN, and SHOULD we try/use? Please advise me?

tiliarou · Apr 15, 2014

Have you already seen this behaviour of a custom recovery reverting back to stock after reboot ?

I've always used link2sd with my previous phone, so far I put my apps on sd using the android built-in option on my E3, because I haven't reached the internal storage limit yet...

Are we only 2 having this phone ?^^

From what I can see now, you should install SuperSU immediately the first time in CWM, and THEN reboot. SuperSU asks for permission for Acer system update and you should deny that. CWM will then stay. However, you could also update (to 4.4 later) and then flash the CWM again of course.

Yeah the phone is JUST released, so we are the first. Probably some more people will join in the next months!

ROM Dump / Partitions / Scatter

You CAN NOT dump/read your phone with the official Acer drivers (no virtual COM port)!
I now succesfully used PDANet (drivers), but a lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers (MT6589 VCOM, MTK Preloader etc.: All the same old v 1.1123.0).
The only tool (see Tools section) working after a lot of trying (!) for me was (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344, and sometimes the newest 3.1408, both icw MTK Droid 2.5.3!
Read these 5 great (similar) ROM dump / flash tutorials:

Tutorial 1

Tutorial 2

Tutorial 3

Tutorial 4

Tutorial 5

In this table you find the partition name (as found in my created scatter file made by MTK Droid Root & Tools (see Tools section)), then the start adress and then the length, all in hex.

Official

The following are official Acer pages/links, but content IS different on all other languages/regions (so try others)!

Product page (UK)

Support page (UK)(drivers/source/manuals)

USB Driver v1.0 AV052 (do NOT work with tools (flashing and dumping etc), as you need PDAnet or VCOM drivers for that (see ROM Dump section))

Kernel Sources v20140307 (4.2.2)

Manual (ENG)(Duo)

Rooting (CWM > SuperSU)

WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!

Steps 0-4 are to be found explained more thouroughly and with images, in the tutorials in the ROM Dump section. Read them. Read them well!
All tools can be found in the Tools section.

0) Install drivers with a good USB virtual COM port emulation. Most simple is to install PDANet (4.15), but lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers / MT6589 VCOM / MTK Preloader etc. (All the same old v 1.1123.0). Make sure connection is OK, and MTK Droid works (when phone is on)!
1) Create scatter file or use mine.
2) Read back (stock) recovery (or all) partitions with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or download my stock recovery img here.
3) Let MTK Droid alter the recovery image and make a custom CWM one of it.
4) Download (to phone) the custom CWM recovery with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or use mine.
5) Copy SuperSU zip to SD card, and boot your phone into CWM recovery (hold volume up and turn phone on), and then Install zip from SD > install SuperSU. Do it the first time in CWM, because a reboot without root REVERTS recovery to stock (safety by Acer?!)!
6) YOU ARE ROOTED!
7) Install BusyBox (see Tools section)

WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!

WARNING: ALL METHODS AT YOUR OWN RISK (NOT TROJAN OR MAL-/SPYWARE CHECKED)!!!

Developing / Custom ROM's

None yet, but we hope for a CyanogenMod and ClockworkMod Recovery, although this MediaTek support is not expected :crying:
But due to the fact that the E2 and E3 are almost the same (a part from the screen and cams), we hope for mods/ports of for instance:

E2 SC0RPION ROM

E2 JellyXperia ROM

E2 MIUI 5 ROM

Your custom ROM for the E3 here soon?

Kernel sources in the Official section!!!

Tools / Fixes / Hacks

Kernel sources can be found in the Official section!!!

Tools

MTK2000 is a great MediaTek-hack site with frequent updates of SP/MTK Flash Tool and more!

SP Flash Tool / Smart Phone Flash Tool (v3.1408.00)(super tool for MT65xx phones!)(new code/layout from 3.1352 up, and for recovery flash you MUST use older 3.1344 etc!!!)

MTK Flash Tool (v5.1320)(super tool for MT62xx phones!)

MTK Droid Root & Tools (2.5.3)(great tool, to create scatter (datamap) file (Succeeded! See ROM Dump section) etc.)

MTK Rom Studio (1.1.77.266)(by Linerty)

Multiple MTK (Engineer) Apps / Tools on Google Play, like Mobileuncle MTK Tools (2.9.9)

Xposed (2.5.1) Framework (modify ROM without flashing)

Titanium Backup (6.1.5.4)(backup/restore, and remove or move apps, also system apps)

SuperSU (1.94)(install via CWM to root phones etc)

BusyBox (11 / 1.22.1)

Fixes

Bad GPS fix with MobileUncle MTK Tools (or MT GPS EPO Fix)

Camerafix (by ventus00): Drag Camera app to homescreen into "App info" which brings you to "Gallery" app info. Press Force stop > Clear data. What fixed the cam was pressing "Clear defaults" under "Launch by default".

Hacks

To boot into recovery/fastboot mode, hold Volume Up while powering device on.

To make Acer's drivers also recovery/fastboot compatible, add this line to your "android_winusb.inf" files in the maps in submap "drivers" (and then install/update drivers in Windows Device Manager): %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01

Repartition and extend space to SD with Meteos App here or here (root required)(more partition info here)(not tested yet)

Use external SD for apps with the famous INT2EXT script or check all options like App2SD, Mount2SD, Data2SD etc

More?

To Do / Problems

Which script/app to use for data > ext SD? See post #6 etc!

Which method to use to get init.d support?

Custom recovery ClockworkMod RUNNING (5.5.0.4 with MTK Droid) but the CWM custom one from CWM Builder online) seems to large :/

Besides the CWM, build and test custom TWRP Recovery, and Carliv Touch Recovery.

No custom ROM like CyanogenMod yet :/

Porting custom roms from Acer Liquid E2 to Acer Liquid E3 it's very simple.
All you need to do is to take boot.img (kernel) from your stock rom and then if you want I can help you to port kernel to your e3

Welcome Marco and thanks!
Our ALE3 stock boot.img and the kernel source (both still 4.2.2) are already available and I really welcome you to help us.
Although we are also very much waiting for the 4.4 Kit Kat release which is almost there (Q2)!

Ps. Is it (still) hard/impossible to get a CyanogenMod (which I LOVE and am very used to) clone running on our ALE3 (because of MediaTek MT6589?)?

Unlock

Can you tell me if any of the above will unlock my new E380 ? Or do I need to wait for a custom ROM to be ported ?

Many thanks.

I own a Acer Liquid E2 and I ported CM11 from Wiko Stairway (MT6589) to my phone thanks to some patches and libs. At the moment developers have to fix camera,bluetooth, hw acceleration and some little bugs.
I can port this roms but I haven't got a Acer Liquid E3 so I can't test them.

EDIT: I'm gonna port these kernels, but I can't upload those roms because of my bad connection

So all you had to do is to download the roms, replace my kernel in the rom and replace libs with stock libs (they are located in system/lib/modules )

Jellyxperia kernel:
https://mega.co.nz/#!8ZVHzTwJ!kQO_A9AJdLx2Mz3u1ctZ5-IhuEUZvFJOb-SxG9LuyJA
MIUI kernel
https://mega.co.nz/#!gJtQVSCQ!5IdxGHxOobBfGblp8Dd7AUM03prNScxaIudSXT5879E

Try and tell me if I succeed

hackwerk · Apr 29, 2014

As long as key features of our (ALE3) phone are not supported in custom ROMs, like camera, I will not (try to) flash/test or modify them.
I am not a developer, and I really demand basic features like making a picture

And again, maybe we should start fukkin around when 4.4 (and sources of 4.4?) are released!

You didn't understand me, those bugs (like camera) are only in CM11.
MIUI, Scorpions and Jellyxperia work fine

What exactly do you mean by unlock? Rooting? Pattern/PIN lock? SIM / network lock?

Rooting:
See the first post (FP) / topic start (TS) if rooting is what you want and try the simple but obscure Kingo method or flash CWM and install SuperSU etc (complicated but trusted / universal method).

SIM / Network lock:
If rooted, you can install all apps (signed and unsigned) and do everything in your phone you want to, so install a SIM unlock app (OWN RISK), or use a complicated but more trusted file edit method (OWN RISK). A good app option seems to be the famous MobileUncle MTK Tools (see Tools section in FP), as it has a Permanent Unlock option for both SIMs in the Engineer Mode (MTK)!

PIN / Pattern:
A million methods via ADB, or (CWM) recovery etc, like these, but just Google man!

So you have CM11 running, but with these problems (because of the MT6589), on your ALE2?
And you did (or also) run customs SC0RPION, JellyXperia and MIUI (only/all three?) and without big problems (so I can probably use those on daily basis)?
Which one do you like best? SC0RPION seems most updated, newest and best fitting (ALE2 based), MIUI seems older and simpler, and Jelly is based on an other phone?!

I do not understand how I would be able to port them to our ALE3. Can you explain it more elaborate please?

Yes I meant network unlock (use a phone on an alternate network to that to which it is locked)

Three (UK) have kindly agreed to unlock without charge .. So I just need to root as I need to port some sideloaded apps accross from an old HD.

All the best

CM11 is still buggy on mt6589, not only on my phone.
I tried those roms and they are bugfree except jellyxperia which is not multilanguage, in fact only english and chinese.
Honestly I prefer Sc0rpion rom because of its performance/battery life.
About porting roms, you should follow these steps:
1 - Download rom you want to port
2 - On your stock rom, go to system/lib/modules and copy all the libs inside this folder on your sd card
3 - Open custom rom zip and replace custom libs (in the same folder) with your libs
4 - Now replace boot.img of the rom with the ported boot.img which I gave you (i.e. ALE3Jellyxperia)
5 - Make a backup of your stock rom, Wipe data/factory reset and flash the zip in CWM

Yesterday I forgot Sc0rpion kernel, so you can download it here:

Thanks a lot but after my whole journey (see FP) I just finished configging my phone and am very happy at the moment.
I will try it later, but maybe 4.4 (will be released for us, inc kernel source) will be my next step, and I hope CM11 4.4 customly made from/for this!

How did you make these boot.img images for our ALE3 (from ALE2) btw?

I unpacked ALE2 and ALE3 kernel. Then I packed a kernel with the ramdisk of the ALE2 and the zImage of the ALE3. That's all

Are you happy with your E380?

YES! Great phone & good value for money!

Good phone, but wouldn't buy it again.

It's not what I expected: I want another phone.

It sucks so I (will soon) have another phone!
