Guest Chrisund123 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Flash cwm recovery (see sticky). Then flash the superuser .zip You are rooted. Do a search if you need more info, it's been covered quite a few times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chrisund123 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) http://android.modac...?/topic/342583-[RECOVERY]-CWM-Recovery-for-LiquidMT-v3.0 That's the thread for the ClockWork Mod recovery (CWM). Download it, and extract it. Make sure your phone has usb debugging enabled (menu - settings - applications - development) and that you have the usb drivers installed for your phone on your pc. With your phone switched on and booted up normally, plug your phone in to the usb. Now go to the folder where you extracted the recovery installer, and run the install recovery command. It will load a command window, and follow the on screen instructions. Your phone will reboot into fastboot mode and then install CWM recovery. Now reboot the phone, find the superuser.zip, (This link might help! http://androidsu.com/superuser/ ) download it to your sd card, and boot into recovery mode (I can't remember the button combo, it's tricky - look it up, or install Rom manager from the market and choose reboot in recovery mode). Choose install zip from sd card, and find the superuser.zip. install it, and reboot Edited November 23, 2011 by Chrisund123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chrisund123 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Check the Acer website for the driver. To check its ok, open a command window, and cd to the directory where you extracted the recovery. Now type "adb devices" without the quote. You should get a bunch of numbers if you have the driver installed and the phone plugged in with usb debugging switched on. If that happens, then you should be ok to install the recovery.

Guest mikelete Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Acer Website says that there are no drivers for this phone.. Maybe installing the Acer Sync app from the website will do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
