Rooting 4.001.17.PA.ROG

[Guest skittleys]

After a certain Rogers support fiasco wherein they performed a factory reset and installed the latest OS despite my explicit instructions not to (I'm not bitter at all), I now have a phone with the 4.001.17.PA.ROG version on it. Between this forum and the ones at android-forums and xda, no one seems to even realise that this (official) update exists (located right where the old 2.2 upgrade used to be: http://www.acer.ca/a...content/drivers). I'm now trying to figure out how to root my phone starting from this ROM. Can I just use malezrecovery?

FYI, the "About Phone" information (I have no idea what it said with the original 2.2 update and can't find the info online:

Version: 2.2.2

Baseband version: A1-05.01.07

Kernel: 2.6.29

Build: Acer_LiquidE_4.001.17_PA_ROG

Edit: I took the plunge and rooted it with malez-recovery. It works perfectly.

if you want to go back to 2.2 see this http://android.modac...om-rogers-only/

i ended up replacing the kernel with this one http://android.modaco.com/topic/339074-tut-kernel-how-to-build-a-kernel-for-acer-based-roms/ see post 2 and then rooted through malez recovery using 1.1. Other wise i used auto root also from malez but it didn't give me full root

That's probably what I'll end up doing, but I don't want to do the extra step if it's unnecessary. It'll probably be straightforward, but with my luck, something'll go wrong.

I'm a bit confused. You were able to replace the kernel without rooting?
