hi.. i'm very happy to know that you have rooted the acer stream.. could you link me the version of the tool that you used?
thank you..

rooted
I've already rooted Acer Stream by Universal Androot ver.1.6.2 beta 5.
Official release site is:
blog.23corner.com/tag/universalandroot/
but you couldn't read this site because it is written by chinese.(I can almost read because I'm Japanese)
XDA Site is:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
No listed Acer stream but I could do.
I could rooted and use Titanium Backup(need rooted) but cannot work any tethering applications(inc. Liquid tether).

Hi guys.
I rooted Acer Stream S110 with Z4root. its great aplication !!!
But this morning i found in www acer ... Sorry ... I'm new in this forum and not allowed to put link.
ANDROID 2.2 FOR ACER ... but my problem i cant found recovery for this mobile.
Anybody can help me to install 2.2 on my Stream?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am now the proud owner of an Acer Stream, so let me share all the info I got
-> if your Stream is Android 2.1: get the official update from Acer http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/drivers
(select smartphone > Stream > Stream then in OS)
After it's 2.2 follow this procedure:
ROOT:
I used z4root which happened to work without a hitch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY:
Get it from here:
http://weijr-note.blogspot.com/2011/09/clockworkmod-recovery-for-acer-stream.html
Mr. Squirrel (his name in Chinese ) has been doing a great job with this device
Get the file and copy it to your /sdcard folder
If you're afraid/ don't know how to use fastboot you can use this very good Recovery Manager coded by Sebastian404 (remember though that your phone has to be rooted)
http://blog.podtwo.com/tag/recoverymanager
Now reboot as recovery, you can backup all your data to your external card, and your phone is ready to welcome a custom rom... we just have to wait someone ports CM7 or some other eye candy to it...

"we just have to wait someone ports CM7 or some other eye candy to it..." - I wish that was true, but i am afraid no one is working on that, no one that knows how to do it. I am afraid we are stuck at 2.2. Too bad cause this is a great phone.

Help
Hello friends!
I wanted to see if someone can help me. I have acer stream and try to delete some files in the root explorer. I made a mistake and selected all system files and delete them. Now my acer is a paperweight. I tried restarting and nothing. I can not start the phone is in the language selection screen. Someone has the original rom to load it again?, Or someone has a way to fix this? Thank you. : (

Good news! A first custom rom seems to be released. As I'm a new user, I'm apparently not allowed to post outside links, but you'll find the rom looking for "dark.Firmware Glacier (4.007.21) для Acer Stream".
I haven't tried it out yet, so I can't report on any experiences.

Hi, i'm developer this custom rom. Link: http://acer-club.ru/topic/13542-custom-rom-darkfirmware-glacier-400721-для-acer-stream/
If you have a question - i try to answer.
But, i say: I can't create AOSP, CM7, MIUI or 2.3\4.0 - just optimize device. Soon be a newer version of custom.

Thanks for commenting and all your efforts - I will probably try to install your rom after christmas. One question: Is it possible for you to change the size of the market cache? I can't install big apps (> 25MB) from the Android Market, even though there is enough memory left - I suppose it has to do with cache allocated to market downloads?
Happy holidays!

I don't this so. Just use Link2SD or something what. I don't have this device and development on him very sloooowly ) Happy New Year )

i've flashed my acer stream with the dark rom, it works pretty good! only bad thing is, i can't seem to change the ringtone :s
olso it is still android 2.2, it would be nice to see some roms with 2.3

I haven't installed it yet, as I'm going to travel for a few weeks soon and don't want to mess with my phone beforehand, but afterwards I'll try it for sure. By the way, there is a new release of the dark.Firmware Glacier.
Does anybody know what this is (again, I may not yet post links, but you see the url):
os-shots.com/cm-stream
P.S.: Thanks to everybody who is still investing time and other resources in the phone, I really appreciate your engagement!

the new version of the dark.Firmware doesn't work that well for me, i keep the old one.
The other link you posted seams to contain an corrupt 7z file, I can't open it anyway

maybe there is a little hope for MIUI on acer stream. check out miuiandroid.com (slash) community/threads/acer-s110-stream.11912/#post-109799

Forget. This is lens_flare - dialog with him - nothing good. His russian and I very good know him. Don't say about MIUI.

Can somebody give me link with Acer Stream s110 custom ROMs

Acer Stream backup
Hi guys, I managed to brick my Stream. CWM recovery is installed but i need a flashable backup. Can someone please upload a backup for CWM?
Thanks

Vodafone 845

Good Evening,
I understood that each device has different ways to get rooted.
If that is wrong I am sorry.
Now... I have a Vodafone 845 and saw great apps on market only for rooted devices.
Normally I would like to have those.
I surfed the xda Forum and found some discuss about this device but root links are to x10 (sony ericsson I believe).
Because of my understanding that confused me.
Anyway, I am dummy in android and did`t understand a lot from those procedures.
My request is: would you guys please make a step by step guide for dummies (with simply english) like me in android?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
My devise characteristics are:
Vodafone 845 ( Huawei U8120 ?)
android 2.1 update 1
baseband version 2210
kernel version 2.6.29-perf
locked in Vodafone Romania.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Respectfully.
Wonderful
This is absolutely great!!!
So many advice, so many guidance!
I really can`t choose between those.
Seems that my post is written with invisible ink!

Hey bro I just saw ya post now, I too have a vodafone 845. What you must first do is root your device using superboot, and then you need to pur a custom recovery using amonra recovery. Our device is synonymous with the u8120. If you search for any roms dealing with u8120, you can use it on this device as well. You should connect the phone via usb to a win7 pc and then follow the directions on how to root etc. These directions can be found on the page that deals with Fresh Zodiac Fruit by Cedric. If you follow these directions to the letter you will have no problem rooting your device and installing a custom rom. Once you have a custom rom on, I would advise installing rom manager from the market. Once Rom manager is installed, flash Huawei Ideos 1 recover image. Then put cm7 u8120 slyking on your sd card and flash that, it is, as far as I am concerned, the best rom for this phone nowdays. When you got some experience using and flashing roms, download v6 supercharger and play around with that, you will be amazed at the results. Anyways bro, just remember vodafone 845=U8120. Once you got this, searching is easy.
THANK YOU
Thanks Bro , I just saw your reply.
Just when I lost any hope of a reply.
From your reply seems a lot of trouble to root my device.
I rooted my phone and now of course I got a bigger problem.
From the moment I bought the phone I hated the calendar,
so I tried lots of calendar apps from the market and stopped the search when
I found aCalendar which suited me excelent.
yesterday after I rooted the phone I erased the original calendar.
This morning when I tried to open the aCalendar ...surprise,
the app didn`t open and the screen shown: OnCreate|NullPointerException null şi apoi OnResume|......
I restored to factory settings and nothing ... same message.
Would you help me please with that?
Or some guru, PLEASE HELP.

[Q] Is any CM avalible for HDC A9100?

(HDC a9100 is a chinese good quality replica of SGS2 with double 3G sim standby)
If there is a way to make HDC a9100 running any CyanogenMod version, write it here, or if there is already one for that phone
I have been browsing for 3hrs and not found anything yet -.-
It actually already runs CM7 but the items giving acces to the settings and the details have been removed in the most china phones, the only one I know having CM7 settings and all still showing is the Z710 ^^
I'll by trying to get Cm7 fully in original state once my phone arrives
*been using mtk6516 before
thanks for answer, it helped
Did you have any luck with this? I can't find any one who has confirmed a custom rom can be succesfully flashed on. I want all the chinese gone from mine...
I will keep posting over here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37450-samsung-galaxy-s2-hdc-a9100-chinese-mtk6573/
And you can root it (see my last comment there), then you can just remove those apps with root explorer.
And the rom it's running is CM7 but it has been quite customized and some apps have been removed, I will be looking into those things.
When I've got everything back to normal CM7 I will relase a update.zip which will remove the chinese apps and restore CM7 to it's original state ^^
Switching it to English made about 90% go English, but about 10% of settings menus still in Chinese. How you you deal with that? I havent used CM7 in about 5 months, so I cant remeber exactly where everything is, plus some has been rearanged.... I will check out your posts at CMforum too.
I will manually translate the remaning chinese parts of the software and create a patch ^^
Also I suggest to install the latest 2.3.4 of the forums link I've given above, installing 2.3.5 is experimental so use with caution.
Also I'm trying atm to get the original CM menu back as it was normally with more options and ofc the themepicker is something I'm working on for sure
Thank you for all of your answers! im really excited about ur idea seahorse!!
Hi there,
I'm just curious if it's also possible to flash to the newer CM9 ?
the phone just come to my attention lately, it looks pretty decent KIRF LOL
and pretty cheap

i havent got the file anymore - i originally got it from the settings in the tablet,
settings - about tablets - system updates
it just downloaded the file via browser to downloads folder as i recall, and you copy it out before it detects the update file is there.
it downloads from ftp://mypolaroidtablet.com but i cant access that from my laptop without a username and password
i dont recall it asking when accessing from the tablet, which i cant do as its been dropped a couple of times and now the screen is cracked and the wifi doesnt work

Hey there, I just got one of these p791 Polaroid tablets for Christmas this year.
When I try to do the usual update method (Settings > About tablet > System update) it locks up and I have to force it to stop. So no auto-updates for me.
Currently stuck on KK 4.4.2
Is there anyone or anyway to get this ROM so I can manually install it, or anyone who's had this problem and fixed it so I can just update my tablet.

Hopefully you already got it sorted.. However, if not then you may want to know the tools usually used to fix this device are:
RKBatchTool,
AndroidTool,
Or PhoenixSuit (although I've not managed to get this one to work)
You can do a quick Google search on any of the tools mentioned above as well as find information on the installation process including the flashing of the P791 device.
I wasn't able to get mine turned on again but you may be able to. (Years ago I used these tools and got it working again, but can't seem to do it this time, maybe mines just had it. I think these are the only options for us though and I remember the annoying task of trying to figure it out as the specific device you're talking about, the one from Asda isn't hardly mentioned nor is it even supported by manufactures anymore so now I have an account on here I thought I'd just post this reply ?

Since writing my reply to your OP I decided to give it another go and was successful.
I used AndroidTools to complete the process of flashing the stock update.img via the "Firmware" tab. If you need any help doing it feel free to reply to this post!

Root for Cubot HAFURY UMAX?

I recently bought a HAFURY UMAX made by Cubot and i've been trying to find a way to root it and install a custom recovery. I've tried most of the methods that I could find on google like Kingroot, etc.
I haven't been able to find anything compatible because its a pretty obscure phone.
Any help would be awesome!
No information yet
I have been searching for this since my phone arrived and there's no clue about rotting it yet. Maybe installing another ROM but I'm not into cooking ROMs yet.
root software -- Cubot max <-> Hafury Umax
You can find a rooting software for Umax here. It woks on Max and Umax (URL is without :// for I am not allowed to submit URLs)- http guideroot.net/cubot-max-download-android-8-0-o-firmware-nougat-7
Best regards

I also need root for this device. Is there any kind people who can port twrp? Any help would be most appreciated thanks

TWRP: https://www.needrom.com/category/cubot/max/
After flashing TWRP you could then install Magisk which will give you root.
Have you managed to unlock your bootloader (although it is not necessary to install TWRP using SP Flash Tool) ?
Thank you for your help however the link you posted is for a cubot Max and I need twrp for cubot hafury umax. I don't think the twrp would work for the umax? As I think they have different chips mine is MT6580 and the max is MT6753A
Tried every app for rooting with no success.
I have downloaded every app and program that claimed to root nougat devices (RootKHP too, but it's just a bad coded virus) and I haven't been lucky yet. I have also done the "manual method"(adb push and then moving those files to /system) but this phone it's not exploitable in that way either. Maybe, compilling TWRP and installing it is the key, but HAFURY doesn't give any help to do so (as usual). I sent them emails, asking for help because of the bugs and also asking for the ROM itself. No luck. They claim to be preparing an update or something that will be released in the official cubot forum... but in that forum there isn't any entry about this phone.
Looks like HAFURY will not give a damn and, probably, will shut down in a time. They KNOW that this phone works faulty ( touch-screen problems, Wi-Fi unstable), but they are not doing anything.
I will not buy another phone from them nor from a chinese manufacturer. I have learnt.
I will try to buy a One Plus One as soon as I have money.
I too sent an email asking about an update and this is the reply I received. Dear Sir/Madam,
Sorry there is no update in the near future, the schedule of it has not been connected, you can keep an eye on our forum, thanks!
So it looks like cubot don't care about there customers
There is an update ROM on cubot forum.
Now we have access to ROM an recovery maybe we cud compile twrp?
What I found so far about the Update
As Stumbag said a couple of days ago, Cubot released an update for the HAFURY UMAX. I downloaded it as soon as I found it and, first of all, don't expect nothing. The only change I noticed is the build name, everything else is like the older version. The Wifi is still unstable, the touchscreen still requires to lock and unlock for working fine when it doesn't detect the touches and still, no root for this phone. I searched for a way to root a ROM before installing it but no luck yet. Also, I extracted the system.img and I haven't found weird packages, as I said, there's nothing different from the older build. What I noticed is a weird file called "recovery_rootcheck.bin" allocated in /data/ that contains other 3 files but I cannot read them properly. Screenshots included:
The location of the file: //i.imgur.com/FW9VAKi.png
The code of the file: //i.imgur.com/mNSpCgW.png
I dumped the older ROM before installing the new, but I am not sure I have done it well but, anyway, I have the dump file.
I will keep searching a way to compile TWRP but I have zero experience on compilling so I don't think I will archieve it.
So, CUBOT has released the ROM as an Update.
Guys. I did it. I compied a TWRP Recovery for the HAFURY UMAX. It works but the stock recovery is being reinstalled after a reboot. Tomorrow I will fix it and I will write a tutorial for installing TWRP and a rooted ROM I did. It's slightly different from the stock ROM (I removed bloatware, deodexed every package, zipaligned, changed the bootanimation and a few more things for making the phone truly free). The ROM is being uploaded to my GDrive right now.
Expect a new Thread tomorrow about installing TWRP and this Custom ROM.
Well done nekuake ?
Could you point me in the right direction for the twrp? Thanks
It doesn't work yet.
It doesn't work. The TWRP I compiled doesn't recognize the phone's partitions. I'm waiting for the reply of HAFURY/CUBOT, because if they send me the device tree, it would be quite easy because I know what to do next.

They didn't give a damn. Now, I am working in other things (university and that stuff). As soon as I have time again, I will try to use another device tree and adapt it to this phone.
Also, you shouldn't have bought this phone. You will see a lot of bugs that WON'T be fixed. HAFURY/CUBOT have a ridiculous support.

that sucks,yea i kind of regret getting this phone,and i hope you make some future progress with it when you have the time.I'm wondering is there any way to access the internal storage from explorer? i can only see the sd card for some reason and the mobigo app it comes with has the option to root but doesn't do anything but restart the phone

They released the phone ROM while ago: forum[dot]cubot[dot]net/viewtopic.php?t=1495
You can extract the system.img and take a look inside the System partition.

If you did any progress please let me know if you manage to either use TWRP or Magisk, actually any root will be nice :good:
I've tried to use ported 6580 TWRP 3.1.1 and TWRP from Cubot Rainbow 2, it doesn't cause any bootloop but doesn't seems to work either
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/twrp-unofficial-custom-recovery-mt6580-t3505687
https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-1-0-jemmini/
Both use the same mediatech however, I have no ****ing idea how to boot in TWRP, I've tried the **cubot max (DO NOT TRY)** that used something else then MT6580 and it gave me a bootloop, soo whoever said Max equal with UMax **** him
I'm trying other TWRPs
Well, i haven't tried to compile TWRP again because Cubot/Hafury doesn't want to give me any of the files I requested (as I though). I will mirror the repo of OMNI and, well, pray a little the next time I try to compile it.
For the moment, I have tried to use any of the TWRPs there are in the Internet of similar phones. They haven't work. The phones I tried were Infinix Hot 5 and Infinix Hot 5 Lite. Please, people, try things like I'm doing and we will have TWRP and Root soon.
Hi IV tried doogee X5 and some others but haven't worked I will keep trying come on peeps we can do this
