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 :)

Android 2.3.4 isn't compatible with SuperOneClick - z4root is outa date.

Better flash the custom recovery Recovery MT 2.2 and then install SuperUser 3.0 (via Recovery/flash zip).

And you're rooted too.

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 :)

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 :)

this procedure works with 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 (tested)

1. Download SuperUser

su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip

md5: 6d490575092a1c5d91af56b94c2328f4

- Eclair/Froyo

2. Copy SuperUser to SD

3. Install Vache's Recovery v 2.2

http://android.modac...r-liquidmt-v22/

4. Enter Recovery

shut down the phone

press VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN + FOCUS (camera button half pressed) + POWER (phone vibrates) keep all keys pressed until u enter in recovery

5. Flash superuser zip file

(be sure first to disable "toggle signature verify" under "other" menu)

6. reboot

(7. install superuser from the market)

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.

NO.. 2.0 is for first gingerbread leak, for froyo you must use 1.0.1
