At the moment you can't get permanant root on 2.2. You can get a temporary root, but that wont let you edit anything on /system. If you can find someone with an xtc clip you can get your phone S-OFF which makes /system writeable.
Downgrading seems to be easy based off the 2 or 3 step by step guides I've seen on this forum so far.
Your questions are no different to any of the ones asked before by others, please use the search next time.

Downgrading will work, but, it will still be unrootable. As said above, the only way as of now to root 2.2 is by using an XTC Clip hardware box to get S-OFF, then, downgrade (this is a 'proper' downgrade) and root.

You can root your phone...
i have posted step by step instructions on my website on how to root any android phone running firmware 1.5 and above
since XDA wont allow me to post a link visit my website.. "ajknowsitall. webs. com"

Enough of this already, people. You need a XTC Clip for that, which costs about $220. This is the only way, for now.

Moderation needed!
Alot of topics about the same thing ...

anyone try his method?

I don't believe this. Because that process was not a newer one and was there long ago. If it worked, it must have became a lot popular by now. And "Universal Androot" is not a root application recommended for NAND locked devices like wildfire. If one has bypassed the nand security with xtc clip and made s-off, then this process might work. And once if u make s-off, there are many other rooting options available. But the point here is to root the wildfire with hboot 1.01 and S-ON dude.... Do not just stick with the thread title. Read the thread, he mentioned wildfire 2.2 clearly.
I doubt whether ur device is wildfire or not (if wildfire rooted or not). Check the below attached "Root and Me" application. In that, go to the root guides and check the compatible devices for "Universal Androot" process. There is no wildfire in that.
Just confirm any process after it worked with u guys.

U might not have asked this question if u know that his process is nothing but "Universal Androot".
Inspite of being aware, i just tried it for u. It won't work and says failed.
If anyone wants to recheck they might. Actually that process is little bit confusing. And im attaching a screen shot of that website below.
The process says to install "App installer" just to install an apk file. Cant we install an apk file from a file manager ? This is ok.
Then the process says just to enable usb debugging alone to transfer the apk file frm PC to wildfire. It not even says from ADB, so i expect it means to transfer through disk drive. Come on stop joking.

I found that this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
was very helpful I am running droid 2.2 Froyo on a Cherry Mobile Candy
I was able to root my phone semi permanently. So long as I don't clear the data for the Z4root program I maintain superuser status. So far I have had no problems and have been able to remove bloatware using AntTek App manager with ease.

thanks man

Come on guys, let's stop reviving threads from a year and 2 months ago...

A Newbie needs Help?

Hi Guys,ive had my A500 for a couple of weeks now and i love it -------- im a Tablet/Computer DUMMY, can you PLEASE tell me what is "ROOTING" ?
I ask as ive read a lot about it on here and wonder if i should do it.

I will give you a different view then some I would imagine. My answer is do not bother with "Rooting".
In short, it gives you access to the files you would not normally see or need on a normal usage basis.
I would suggest you continue to use the A500 as is with out rooting it until you either find the device simply does not function as you want, or you continue to read the threads and decide you wish to try it out.
Having said that and is found in another thread simply rooting is not dangerous. But, I would say if you are new to computers/tablets that little value would be added to your experience so simply enjoy your A500.

Thankyou for your reply

install a file manger from market
install the apk from the list in this link
if you are on 3.1 install version 1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228
once you downloade the file click and install the apk from you file manager
install acer recover installer from market
open the app and click install recovery rom 1.3 thor something
reboot to recovery and install what ever rom you like

Rooting grants you access to system files you would not normally have access to.
If you don't know what it is, or don't know what the risks are, I wouldn't recommend doing it ... But I can't stop you from rooting

rooting
This gives you access to operation system files. Rooting your device is a must to get access to advance setting and change the way your tablet functions. First some reasons to not root
1.you avoid your warranty
2.you make your system easily available for mistakes to cause it to no longer being usable.
reasons average users root
1.can install advance control apps
2.can do complete backups thou not really need if you are not root access
3.hacks like the Netflix fix.adding ad-hoc support for tethering to phone
DO NOT ROOT UNTIL YOU DONT HAVE TO ASK THERR SIMPLE QUESTIONS
With that said all the answers are here in this forum.thanks to all the wonderful developers and advanced users.
Good luck. Empower yourself for a better android experience.

Thanks Guys and Gals----------think i wont bother at the moment,i will just spend more time learning about my Tablet!

What are you talking about? You should read the question & previous comments before you go & post up a how-to..

But if he want to do it, this would help
I am sure sooner or latter he will!

I don't want to be mean or anything, but your "tutorial" is kind of hard to understand ... And there already are thousands of tutorials on how to root.

Oh dear im sorry if ive upset people it was not my intention---------------
BUT thankyou for the "HOW TO " Im a newbie as i said and needing as much help as i can get with my A500 and yes im sure as i learn more i will want to "Root"

the merits of the root
For me, the root brought netflix, not sure if there is a way to get it yet without root. Yep, use my tab with netflix while i run my 5 miles in the gym (ok i walk most of the way, enough to see an entire movie, or email or whatnot. Worth the price of the tab right there.

Not the only thing that a root can do
Sent from my magical HTC Wildfire S.

While I am not a dev, I have spent a great many years around *nix systems. Rooting, in itself, is not difficult nor dangerous. The danger is in the new abilities to modify system parameters which should be left alone by those without sufficient knowledge. Acer has provided a utility to allow for system restore and some backup abilities which should be sufficient for most new users. With android, as with any OS, knowledge is power. I usually suggest new users gain knowledge about the system before tampering with root.
I am new to the acer community but some of you may have seen me on the nook color or huawei s7 forums and I am starting development work on the webos forums. As I said before, I am not a dev (yet) but I believe everyone should understand a concept before blindly rushing into the fray.
I will get off my soapbox now and go play. Enjoy your new acer...

Really dude. Please take some time to search through this forum, read the stickies and how to's, the general postings, Q&A postings and the development postings AND follow-ups.
Rooting is really simple with this phone; so is adding a custom recovery and kernel too. [in begins with CF]
Seems this question gets asked daily.
However if you are spoon fed you will get the benefit and pleasure of actually learning for yourself.
A great video to start with is right here.

As above post. Questions are ask in Q&A. Also depending what firmware you are in. MDC,MDL,MF9 each has a different way to root. Just takes to search. We arent bashing on you for asking this its just that A LOT of people call themselves noobs and keep asking the same question over and over and over again over time.

Easiest way of rooting

Guys I found this very impressive and useful so sharing. this is not my work and the credit goes to the developer.
I'm just trying to share and appreciate his work here. I've used it to root my old xperia U, the site claims to be solution to many android rooting so if someone is a newbie can give it a try.
follow the link : http://www.kingoapp.com/

What's so impressive about using an exploit to root an open device? It's like getting into a house by squeezing through a window when you have the front door key in your pocket. Just unlock the bootloader, then flash a recovery and SuperSU. It's already super easy.

You don't need to use an exploit to root this device. This phone is completely open and easy to root without needing a hack to root it. It's simple, unlock bootloader, install TWRP, root. Those root exploits are only needed on phones that are locked down by the manufacturer, like Samsung.

The xda threads say not to use one click root solutions so what solution should I?

"Spyware: KingRoot, KingoRoot, iRoot, etc
Hello everyone! I'd thought I'd make this sticky post to remind you that common one click root apps are known as spyware throughout the community. They gain root access and install bloat on your device. While some people plan to replace these with something such as SuperSU after using them, this method can't be trusted as they still had root access. If you used these it is suggested you flash the stock image for your device. I'd also like to say that whenever one of the 3 programs are now mentioned, AutoMod will automatically comment something similar to what I wrote above.
Sorry this is short but I wrote it during my school lunch period which is about to end. Feel free to ask any questions/add on to what I said below.
Edit: I will also like to add that SuperSU is no longer really trusted. As Chainfire has sold it and is no longer involved in its development. It is still more trustworthy than KingRoot and those apps, but people mainly use Magisk now."
So on all the threads on XDA forums the root instructions all use these spyware apps. What is the current method for rooting a hd fire 10 7th gen without spyware?
