Guest UnderRoot Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Hey there, My first post on Modaco..I have been using Acer Liquid Metal over last 6months and have decided to root it(Used HTC Wildfire before, rooted modded etc). I tried to root my Acer liquid Mt with Superoneclick and Z4root though it doesnt seem to work for me. My Liquid Mt is android 2.3.4. Though I've seen many threads regarding flashing custom roms and stuff, I couldnt find an appropriate thread for rooting. Basically I want to partition my SD Card for the purpose of storing Apps. Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :) Edited October 6, 2011 by UnderRoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better flash the custom recovery Recovery MT 2.2 and then install SuperUser 3.0 (via Recovery/flash zip). And you're rooted too.

Guest UnderRoot Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) A stupid issue this time, I'm unable to figure out the keys to boot into recovery, It used to be power+ vol down for wildfire, I tried holding Power + Vol up+ Vol down + Camera on Liquid Mt though it isnt working for me, phone simply reboots. o.0 Edit: Its working my bad, i pressed the keys in wrong order :P Thanks alot Guys :) Edited October 6, 2011 by UnderRoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spicysomtam Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Try holding the camera part way in, like you are focusing it. Or 'adb reboot recovery' if you have adb. Superuser 3.0.1 does not work on the Acer just released version 2.3.5 (4.000.07). To fix this, I removed it using Astro file manager, then went into the market and updated it to 3.0.2. 3.0.2 does work correctly. Anyone got the link for it so I can install straight off from the recovery? Once I got the superuser working, I was able to install busybox, and then enjoy all the UNIX/Linux commands I have enjoyed for the last 20 years of my life :) Edited October 6, 2011 by spicysomtam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stonebear Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) And what about 2.2.2? what can i use on this ? Same procedure but use recovery 2.0 http://shoobee.eu/up...overyMT-2.0.zip I don't think you will need to install superuser from the market either. If the market version is still 3.04 definitely don't install it, it causes problems. Edited October 21, 2011 by stonebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO.. 2.0 is for first gingerbread leak, for froyo you must use 1.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stonebear Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I had some trouble finding 1.0.1 (I remember now that I did need it when I was on Froyo), so I have uploaded it here http://www.mediafire.com/?zaw4f6c1f3v5xf4 Sorry for the bad info in the earlier post!
