ok so there are so meny threads and videos around about rooting and flashing a new rom, my proplem is that i am not an expert, they all give different info,programs to use ect... im a little nervous that i might use the wrong program or miss something and wind up with a brick...
i am using an acer a501 running android v 3.2
so if i understand correctly i need to.....
1.revert back to andriod 3.0.1 (not sure how yet)
2. download iconiaroot1.3, unzip, copy it to sd card (settings set to allow unknown and debug on)
3.install iconiaroot on tablet
4. open and run iconiaroot
5. now rooted
im i correct? did i miss something?
ok assuming all that is correct can i now flash a custom rom?
if so is the process similar? install rom onto sd card and install?
Correct. Just one step more
6. Before installing custom ROM you will need to install Acer Recovery Installer and flash custom recovery.
Root A501
Download a file manager if you don't already have once such as astro file manager or es file explorer. Also download Acer Recovery. Download both of these from the market.
Step 1. To downgrade to 3.0.1 to be able to root first thing you want to do is download this file here
http://depositfiles.com/files/64bo1ivat
Step 2. Once downloaded it copy the update.zip file into the root file of your sd card. the root folder on the sd card is in the tablets internal memory not an external sd card.
Step3. Turn off the tablet and once turned off press and hold the power button and volume down button. Don't release until you see the green andriod with the gears moving.
Step 4. Once tablet has booted back up check to see which version the tablet is running. To Check go to settings....about tablet...and underneath android version make sure the tablet is running 3.0.1
Step 5. If the tablet is running 3.0.1 then download this file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228
This is a link to a xda thread that has iconiaroot-1.3.apk.
Step 6. Download iconiaroot-1.3.apk
Step 7. Before opening iconiaroot make sure in settings....applications that unknown sournces is checked then click development and make sure usb debugging is checked.
Step 8. Now open iconia root and hit root.
Step 9. Run acer recovery
Step 10. Select clockworkmod recovery and instal recovery image.
Step 11. Click this link
http://depositfiles.com/files/vwaavz1pa and download TLSS_A501_3.2_Little_Honey.zip
Step 12. Once downloaded you will have 1 zip file. Rename it update.zip and transfer it do the tablets sd card.
Step 13. Turn the tablet off. Then press power and volume down to run cwm.
Step 14. Once at cwm screen use the volume buttons to go up and down. go down and instal from sd card and hit power to select it. Then select apply sdcard/update.zip then select yes and it will instal
Step 15. Once update is done go back and click reboot system now
Step 16 Go to settings about tablet and double check your updated.
Step 17. Have Fun!!!!
Hey I am trying to root my acer, and ive followed all of these directions up until step 11.. The honey.zip file tht is provided isnt installing. Ive tried installing from the internal sd and the external sd with no luck, I think the file itself may be corrupt. Do I NEED to do this update before I can flash a custom rom?
It looks that Honey.zip IS a custom ROM (don't know for sure).
You're rebooting into recovery and trying to install from sdcard?
Are you receiving any errors? What exactly is happening?
Don't bother renaming to update.zip.... Just select "Install zip from sd card" in CWM...
And no, you can use ANY custom rom at that point...
Remember to wipe all data before flashing
cache - dalvik- battery stats -flexrom etc. etc.
Obviously, you should backup your data previously and then you can restore them

To install a custom ROM(OS) on your HTC DESIRE 820

To install a custom ROM on your HTC DESIRE 820, here’s a brief tutorial guide:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1. You will need to first download the custom ROM you want to install. These ROMs come in a “zip” file format (so DO NOT UNZIP them) and usually 1 large file around 200MB to 1GB. Some ROMs may require you to install multiple files.
You can download these zip files straight to your phone or use your computer to download (as downloading on your computer may be more stable/effective/faster) then copy over to your phone’s storage.
Step 1. Once ROM zip files are downloaded/copied to your phone, get into TWRP RECOVERY MODE BY PRESSING volume down+power button together for about 3 seconds to enter bootloader menu.Choose “RECOVERY” using Volume Down key then hit Power button to enter TWRP recovery.
Before installing a ROM, you will want to do a “data wipe/factory reset” by hitting the “Wipe” button. This will erase all your settings, apps, and app data (but not personal photos/videos on your storage). I highly recommend using Titanium Backup app to backup your apps, SMS Backup & Restore app to backup your SMS text messages, and use an online service such as GMail or Facebook to backup your contacts. Most online service providers like GMail or Facebook offer built-in ability to auto backup/restore your contacts.
*Optional – You can try installing a custom ROM without wipe, but this is considered risky and dangerous as sometimes the ROM may not boot. You can make a backup ROM if you are going to try this route so you can restore easily. Also, this can keep your settings, apps, and app data without restoring them.
Step 2. Once wipe is done (or you have decided not to wipe but have backup ROM), simply use the “Install” option in main menu and find the ROM zip file you need to install. If there’s multiple files, simple install them one by one until you are done.
Step 3. Once done installing custom ROM, reboot and cross your fingers your phone will boot. If your phone boots within 5-10 minutes you should be good to go. If not, you can try re-installing ROM, especially if you did not wipe, try re-installing after wiping.
To copy ROM file into SD card:
-------------------------------------
Boot TWRP, then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your HTC DESIRE 820 to your computer with usb debugging enabled.
Then download fastboot.zip and unzip, you probably will find a new directory called fastboot under your Downloads directory.
Copy the ROM you want to install to the fastboot folder.
Open a command prompt then type:
cd Downloads\fastboot
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/.
Replace ROM.zip with the ROM filename you copied earlier to fastboot folder.
This will copy your ROM to the internal storage so once it’s done, just use TWRP to install ROM.
To backup the ROM after installing:
----------------------------------------------
Backing up a ROM will backup everything on your phone including your settings, apps, app data, kernel, and the whole ROM. It will not backup your personal photos or videos stored in your internal storage but it will backup everything else.
This can be handy later down the road your HTC DESIRE 820 malfunctions. For example, if your phone stops booting for some reason (due to bad custom ROMs or apps), you can easily restore your phone to a previous state by restoring your ROM.
If you “still” haven’t made a backup ROM, I highly suggest you to follow this tutorial to make a backup ROM.
Step 1. Make sure “Fast boot” is checked OFF under Settings->Power.
Step 2. Power off your HTC DESIRE 820. Then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for about 3 seconds to enter bootloader menu.
Step 3. Choose “RECOVERY” using Volume Down key then hit Power button to enter TWRP recovery.
Step 4. Once inside TWRP recovery, you can easily choose “Backup” or “Restore” to backup or restore ROM, it’s that simple.
Step 5. If you are backing up ROM, make sure “Boot”, “Data”, and “System” are checked and swipe to start backup. Backup process should take about 5-10 minutes or longer depending on how many apps you’ve installed on your phone.
Backups are usually large between 1-5GB depending on how many apps you’ve installed. They are stored in your internal storage under TWRP/BACKUP directory. You can easily save space by moving these files to your computer and move them back to the same location when you need to restore your phone.
Step 6. When restoring ROM, you will find your backups organized by folders. You can name your folders while backing up otherwise they will be stored with the timestamp of the time you backed them up.

Unable to download twrp recovery.zip please help me..
Be carefull of links which state there is 5.0 available for our device
drsobhan -
Please refrain from using or downloading ROM or any other files from other websites. The website you listed did not look genuine.
- HTC should provide us the with an update and source code will be available
- Cynaogen or other third party would provide us with an update
- XDA senior developers can provide link
One CM launches the rom there could be other providers like MIUI etc... but till the time please refrain from such websites
Refer to the following side for all builds supported by CM

Okay,you have to download the firmware version for your country,and have custom recovery installed on the phone.
So if you in UK,download the rom for your phone from UK provider.(doesnt matter if its JB or KK)
http://www.ztedevices.com/support/index.html
Once you have the rom,Use winRAR to do the following:
1.open the rom from your country in winrar so you can see the contents.
2.Open system folder (dont extract,just navigate into the folders in winrar)
3.Open "etc" folder
4.Open Firmware folder
5.Select "modem_1_wg_n.img" and extract it(i just drag and drop on desktop)
6.Open the Kitkat firmware you've downloaded using winRAR
7.Open System folder
8.Open "etc" folder
9.Open Firmware folder
10. Copy the "modem_1_wg_n.img" into that location(drag and drop from desktop)
11.winRAR asks if you want to :Add/Replace file/s? Select Yes or OK to allow it to
12.copy entire firmware to phone and reflash it on the phone from the SD card
I dont know if you can just replace the modem file after having loaded the firmware.I didnt try or test it.it may or may not work.
I am working on Custom Firmware for this phone though.
latest achievement was i managed to get the phone to see the SD card as phone storage thanks to various xda guides.this will be built in
FIrmware should be ready in a few days after testing.if anybody is interested in trying it out,let me know
problem solved...
Thank you sir...problem solved...it's really hard to be a noob...have to understand a lot of things now....I'm willing to try your firmware on my phone...upload it when done...keep up the good work...sorry for my english...
Post has been updated
I need to talk to you.... Go read my PM
installation is always aborted.. PLEASE HELP
Replied
Thanks
The thread is so useful... Keep up the good work, I don't have patience to try the new ROM!
Is there any chance for kernel supporting overclocking and undervoltage, also with more Gvernor and I/O Sheduler options?
Also Would be gorgeous if there's tap screen to wake option, this would need custom kernel too...
I'm now using DeviRSilva's kernel, which is doing great! Man, don't be afraid to relese it and continue tweaks
Still I'm a noob and maybe half of theese wishes are impossible, but would be so cool if they're possible to develop!
PD: I saw a site promoting Lollipop ROM for our L2 is that real?
PD2: Sorry for my awful English and probably stupid requests and questions...

I used an earlier version of his kernel for the build - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/kernel-devir-blade-l216-11-2014-t2945103
MD5 : a719cb770585f24c891fe47da9e56245
Note - Updated hosts file for ad blocking (Use xposed module "hosts Enabler" to prevent adverts)
Once Rom is installed and you restart phone from recovery
It may give the following warning "Root access possibly lost. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE"
Select "Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)"

Custom Recovery
Please have a read through the information in this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/
Flashing a custom recovery on the L2 is a simple process.
Things Required for this process:
Rooted Phone - (Please see the post on Rooting)
Mobile Uncle Tools APK
Recovery Image
First you have to allow the phone to install apps that dont come from Google Play Store.To do so,follow the guide :
1.Settings Menu
2.Security
3.Enable(tick) Unknown sources
4.Untick Verify apps
You can always reset these back to how you found them when you are done.
Download Mobile Uncle Tools
Mega Link: http://goo.gl/IkyVDo
or
MediaFire Link : http://goo.gl/c5q6Jh
Copy APK file to your SD card,use your file manager to install it.
Run Mobile uncle tools,allow root permissions when menu pops up.
You can close the app for now.Next thing we need is the actual recovery file itself.I've attached the recovery i find works best
Carliv Touch Recovery v2.2 - MTK CWM-based v 6.0.4.4
Download Recovery.img file
Mega Link: http://goo.gl/1f8OwX
or
MediaFire Link :http://goo.gl/U1D2Zu
MD5 :9f770b95df8e1beabd7417fc112190bc
Once the file has downloaded,copy to the root of your SD Card.
Open Mobile Uncle Tools and Select "Recovery Update".
Be sure to Select the downloaded recovery image,not anything else.
Select the file and proceed with installation.Mobile uncle tools will then prompt you to reboot into recovery if the update was successful.Select Yes and the phone will reboot into the new recovery menu

any news on the kitkat rom yet? super excited to try this out!
is the link for the rom gone?
i dont see it
This is an updated guide for the Samsung S8+ (G955F) version for the new beta 3.
I thought I would put this guide out there as this was the easiest I found and the bonus is that you keep your data and just upgrade over the top.
All credit to jaron vdb from Telegram. This is his backup and he has given me permission to use it. He is the brains – I am just good at writing easy to use guides!
Pre-requisite:
-you need to have a working TWRP
-you need an external sd card
Steps:
1. Get into TWRP and backup your current rom to your external SD card. We will need this later to restore the data and importantly: if things go wrong you can always restore back again to what you have now.
Once it has been backed up you will have a folder on your external sd card that looks something like this:
Name of your External SD card/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just backed up in step 1]
2. Download this file and save it to your External SD CARD:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wOl1fPK_9ffSxOcGg6IHvytCrHZ7yL-X
This is your TWRP restore file kindly provided by jaron vdb.
3. Once you have downloaded that file then you will need to unzip this file. Use something like 7zip from Playstore and extract that file you downloaded to this location you just created with Step 1 – something like:
External SD CARD/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just unzipped]
This is a very important step – you must extract the file you downloaded to this EXACT location.
4. Go here and download supersu 2.82SR5 to your external SD Card:
https://androidfilebox.com/app/supersu-root/
This is the only root version working at the moment – magisk does not work as of now. It is Supersu which works perfectly. It also has dm-verity on it so will allow you access to data in TWRP.
5. Ok we are ready to flash the Beta 2! Get into TWRP again
6. Hit the restore button and then go to your external SD Card and restore the file that you downloaded and had to extract. You will also see your other restore in there. Don’t touch that just yet.
7. Stay in TWRP and now go to Wipe and then go to Format Data and then type in yes
8. Stay in TWRP and now go to Restore and choose the first file you backed up in Step 1 – your original backed up ROM. Choose this file and then ONLY TICK data to install. Restore data.
9. Stay in TWRP and flash the supersu file you downloaded.
10. Reboot!
11. You now should be rebooted back into your original rom with the very smooth Beta 3 installed!
12. Now you have to make the fix so you don’t get a buttload of random reboots and Knox nonsense. Download Root Explorer or any build prop editor program from Playstore and change:
ro.config.tima=1 to ro.config.tima=0
and change Knox thingo to v30 like this:
ro.config.knox=v30
Mine was already on v30 but YMMV
13. Have a cup of tea.
Can confirm working on G955F
Did exactly as instructed and all is well so far
Thank you
Will these steps work if I'm on 7.0
Or are these only for people who have already upgraded to oreo b1 / b2?
Thanks in advance.
One more question, can I use it on G955FD?

Same as above. As long as you have a TWRP backup on the external sd then give it a try.

Ah tricky. You'd need a back up to be safe. Doesn't flashify have a backup option?
Yes.... who cares if i have to re root then beta 2 oreo
I tried with 955U, flashfire cant find the backup file for oreo beta. Only shows my own backup

Pretty sure you'll need twrp.
Confirm working on G955FD.
Toggle Network Type was not working but is OK after reboot.
However, AdAway is unable to download host files. Searching for solutions, will update if am successful in resolving the problem.
All other root apps I have are working perfectly.
