Rooting Acer Liquid

[Guest Charlton22]

I was interested in rooting my acer liquid for various reasons, the first was for Market Enabler...

I followed this procedure Acer Liquid Root and was carried out successfully.

I also installed 0.0008.006 bin successfully. I was told that I may not be rooted yet as the Market Enabler is not working.

I got an error "We have a problem Huston"

Is there any way to check if i'm rooted or not? Or someone could help me in this?

I thought that once I installed the 0.0008.006 i was rooted... It don't seem so..

I'll appreciate your help, Thanks

Yes, you have flash the newest Version of Malez's Recovery Image, than you're able to root your Phone.

I am trying to root, but I cannot understand this procedure! Can some one help me?

How to install

Boot phone in normal mode

copy recovery image to your androidsdk/tools/ folder

then go in cmd (if you are under windows) or terminal (under linux) cd androidsdk/tools/ and run

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot -i 0x0502 flash recovery malezRecovery_0.2.1.img

sending 'recovery' (4876 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY

fastboot -i 0x0502 reboot

To enter recovery : adb reboot recovery or button combination

1. is debuggin in your phone set to yes? settings > applications

2. is there an adb.exe in your folder? (sometimes it's named adb-windows.exe)

3. you have to first> adb remount

clearly your sdk installation cant be correct.

if you had adb.exe in sdk/tools it would either perform said operation or just list no device available or something

ill include my own reboot bat file for you with the necessary adb files

Boot bat file

just run the bootloader_recovery_cmd.bat file and make sure your phone is connected through usb

nops, you have flashed the recovery successfully

[Guest Charlton22]

nops, you have flashed the recovery successfully

But i still don't have root access :S

When I enter recovery, on the bottom part I have this;

Build : malez-liquid-0.4.3

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

you're almost there

adb remount

adb reboot recovery

phone will restart and you'll see the recovery menu. There's a root menu as well. Go there using volume buttons and menu button to select.

As an alternative you can also download LCR1.3, copy the zip file to your SD and apply it, through the recovery menu. Your phone will be rooted too, plus very stable with good battery life. If you choose this alternative (recommended), don't forget to wipe(in recovery menu)

abd remount -- remount failed - operation not permitted

[Guest teunke99]

debug is on?

if you can't get it to work you can always turn off your phone, hold camera and volume down button will hitting the power button. Phone will start in recovery mode.

ps the batch file you've used a couple off steps back should contain the cmd that made your phone reboot. See if there's info in there that might come in handy.

[Guest malez]

Recovery root method works on any rom and is easier thant flashing a boot.img. But you don't have direct access to adb remount (i can be done in a little different way).

To be exact:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
