Possible recovery

[deadpieface]

There maybe a recovery for the a100 on the way. It is being worked on currently.

Yea!!! I hope they are able to get around the encrypted boot sector.

 

[skeeterpro]

Yes! I "almost" took mine back to BB today. Got a few more days so will hope.....

I was faced with the the same thing a few weeks back. Should i return it or hope for a recovery. I choose to keep it, Honeycomb is rock solid and Acer said the ICS is coming in Jan. So I kept it.

 

[deadpieface]

Like I said, hopefully it works out. I was beginning to think it was never going to happen, so I decided to ask a dev if he would try to get one going. He doesn't himself have an a100, so we will prob have to test it out for him. Either way it is a good tab and we have root, so I am satisfied either way.

Well, for now, I shall keep a daily eye out on this thread for sure!

Unfortunately, there's no root for those that came with 3.2.1...

I saw your post in the Dev Section on that. Which was why I turned OFF the Auto Update Feature!

thanks for that.

Would it be possible to downgrade the software to what it was on the first initial release of the A100 through maybe an ruu to obtain root

ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

Sounds logical. Same protocol was used in some roots for the Transformer a while back.

Check this thread. Stock ROMs for the A100 posted up.

sweet mother of God! Having recovery would be awesome!

 

[peporras]

we have some news?

 

[6stringandy]

We're basically waiting on the ICS update to our A100. Not really any point in doing anything with these til we obtain root with 4.0. If we root now, the update will break root until our genius devs figure out how to crack it. No point in rooting now when you'll have to re-root 2 months later.

ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

 

[peporras]

having root access would have any problem in receiving the update to ICS?

 

[6stringandy]

No, you would still get the update, but updating will unroot your device, and in some cases, you would never be able to root that device again, but that may not apply to the A100, haven't heard of that happening for a while on the latest devices.

ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

Sorry man, I really don't mean to offend, but I need you to break that whole statement down for me.
Are you saying that there is a tester port of amon ra recovery for the A100? Are you seeking people to test and see if it works? And who do we have to "private message" to participate in this test?

ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

 

[peporras]

wonder if there was a possibility with amon ra with CWM because I do not think
I am posting the google translator and there may be some misunderstanding with my words. thanks

 

[6stringandy]

Ok, I think I know what you're asking. I don't think much progress has been made on a recovery, but I wouldn't expect to see one ready until Android 4.0 is released

ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

Just a noobie question,

Why is there no recovery on the a100? is it because acer change something on the a100, or just because as 6stringandy said, dev want to wait 4.0 before starting to make a custom recovery?

and what is different from the a500 to the a100 that make the recovery unable to work?

It's just for personal interest
