You will need to download/install the following before starting:
- Acer Iconia Tab A110 USB Drivers (Should install on first connect of tablet)
___________________________________________________________________________
Once downloaded, extract the Android SDK to a known location, such as the Desktop. (Use an extracting application such as Winrar)
Next, install the Nexus 7 Toolkit.
___________________________________________________________________________
Once that is complete, you can begin the rooting process.
On your device go to:
Code:
Settings > Developer Option
Navigate to your Android SDK folder:
Code:
adt-bundle-windows-x86_x64\sdk\platform-tools
Copy and paste the recovery file in this directory, and copy the SuperSU files to the Tablet's SD Card. This will make the process easier later.
___________________________________________________________________________
Bootloader unlock:
The next step will wipe all your data. Remember to create a backup of anything you want to keep before attempting this.
Open a command promt (CMD) window in the directory above by holding shift while right clicking in the window and selecting "Open Command Window Here."
Type in CMD:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Wait for the tablet to load into the bootloader, then type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Accept on the tablet via volume and power buttons.
Your bootloader should now be unlocked.
___________________________________________________________________________
Root:
Type:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Wait for it to reboot, once again.
Next, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot boot a110-412-CWM-recovery.img
Wait for the "OK" notification.
___________________________________________________________________________
Now, you will be booted into the custom recovery.
Right click on the Acer A110, and select install driver. Choose to point to your own path, and point it at the path for the Nexus 7 Toolkit install. (Make sure you have include subfolders checked)
Now, the device should be recognized and the root can continue.[/Code]
___________________________________________________________________________
On the device, use the volume buttons to navigate and power button to choose.
Select Install from SD.
Now type:
Navigate to the CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip file.
You should receive a complete message.
Once that is complete, on the tablet, navigate to reboot, select yes at the prompt, and the tablet will reboot.
You are now successfully rooted on 4.1.2!
