!!! The tool was tested only with the leaked 3.1 update.zip. I have not yet tested it with the OTA update. !!!
This tool installs su and superuser.apk for stock HC 3.1
As the old root method does not work anymore I created this new tool.
How to root
1. Goto Settings->Applications and enable "Unkown sources"
2. Download the attached APK file
3. Copy the file to your Iconia
4. Install the APK & start the tool
5. Click "root"
6. Enjoy
How to unroot
1. Start the tool & click "unroot"
NOTE
- This was tested only with Acer_A500_3.019.04_COM_GEN1 but will probably work with any other version.
- By clicking root, you agree that you do this at your own risk. The tool will uninstall any previous installed superuser.apk.
Thanks
@ChainsDD for superuser.apk and su
@Acer for this buggy tool
Changelog
1.2.0:
- Remove su from /system/bin and /system/xbin before rooting. This should fix the issues when someone installed the 3.1 OTA without unrooting the device before.
1.1.0:
- Add support for HC3.0
1.0.0:
- Initial version
