How to root Stream please?


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Nice to meet you all. Can i please get some assistance rooting the stream (if it can be done) ?

I have tried the malez Recovery v 0.6.1 FULL installer.

My phone is detected when i do adb devices.

When i run malez installer it boots into bootloader mode fine it then sends the 'recovery (4868 kb)' fine and writes it fine.

It then reboots the phone.

From my reading it seems the next thing to do is to hold down camera button +vol down + power to boot into recovery mode. I try this without USB and also with USB attached (debug mode on).

Nothing happens, just a black screen. Well (once it said checksum and then it didn't progress -left for about 4 minutes).

As i understand i need to root my phone to install custom rom. I would like to give it a go and also compiling roms myself (Acer released 2.6.29 source).

However, i'm completely stuck trying to do the root part.

Details

Android version 2.2

Baseband version A3-01.00.01

Kernel Version 2.6.29

Build Acer_Stream_4.007.21_EMEA_GEN1

If i can root my phone then i can also complete the dumping procedure and provide the files to the devs.

Thanks in advance.

I just rooted my stream a couple of hours ago.. it works for me

Yeh it was my fault. I had to run it from the PC. Running it from the android via bar code install failed.

Are there any kernels out yet that are compatible with Stream?
