Root Acer liquid z500 HELP!!!
Hello, I will three days trying to rooot the acer z500 without success, someone help ??
I've used all root programs but nothing, I tried but there is not much information, not already know what to do
thank you very much
You need to use SP flashtool for this
device. With that tool you flash recovery.img (cwm recovery) and your phone can be rooted via cwm recovery by flashing supersu.
Interested in the files?

@Gillion I used iroot and installed supersu that would be the easier way to get root and then you could use mtk droid tools to make a full backup of your rom right after

Hi there,
For all Z500 owners only:
I rooted my acer z500 by first flashing CWM recovery, and then flash supersu (.zip) via the new CWMrecovery
Here's the links to the filez:
recovery.img: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ic6uadwvxf071d8/recovery.img?dl=0
scatter file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qzcnqzlxkzy5wx2/MT6582_Android_scatter.txt?dl=0
supersu: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zv59bw7bj0ygush/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.13.zip?dl=0
Furthermore if you disable zram (from install-recovery.sh) you will gain additional speed.

Why didn't you used my files ? (which is the purpose of this thread BTW)
Using auto generated files made by MK Droid Tool is not bad, but using updated Recoveries is a little better I think (like CWM 6 and the Carliv one)

@Gillion is it possible to get a copy of your rom i cant find any updated available
Hello to all! I recently got an Acer Z500 and im loving it! This is my first MTK phone so maybe its a stupid question but why isn't there a specific section on xda for this phone? Is it because of the MTK SoC, or lack of community? Latter would really surprise me since the phone is practically free(considering hardware specs) where i live!
This method doesn't works with my Z200, my computer doesn't recognize the phone i have already installed the drivers but it's doesnt works at all how can i root my Z200?
Thanks.

I have a short list that I want to do to my SGA. I always get lost in the tutorials that i follow. So please, if anyone can help me. Thank you.
Here what i want to do to my phone:
1. Upgrade to Gingerbread. DONE
2. Root. DONE
3. Install CWM
4. Install RAM scripts
5. Deodex
Please tell us what are the tutorials that you didn't understood.
Cheers
Hi, Zecanilis, thanks for replying.
First off, how do I install CWM? Or is it already part of rooting it?

If you are planning to update from a stock rom to DXKPD you can use Kies. Odin is also a option.
I prefer you too root first before installing CWM? Much less work

There is no seperate forum for your device! Check if any rooting methods and /or custom roms are available in the android development and miscellaneous android development categories! If there ain't anything, you're on your own to find out a rooting method!

Thanks mate. I am a newbie, hardly have ny idea about rooting a device. But if u can give me some link which guides me step by step method, then I would have given a try. Well, if I fail to root can I go back to the factory default setup?
Thanks again
Rooting is different for each device! Find out if any dev or senior member who has experience in rooting has your tablet and ask him /her for advice on rooting!
P. S: try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 this!

I would recommend taking a look at this thread for the LG-C800, it includes how to root the device, install Clockworkmod Recovery, and some ROM's such as Unofficial Cyanogenmod 9 that you can then flash. Let me know if you still have questions.
Thanks Shimp
that thread doesnt give instructions for rooting it just says to use SuperOneClick to root my device
however I havent found proper instructions for rooting my phone though
or is it simple enough to simply click root while its connected via usb or do I need to enable other options
[maybe go into recovery mode or something?]
thanks for the help
bumpskies for some help :laugh:

For SuperOneClick what you can do is download it from the thread I linked to, then download and install the LG adb drivers in the thread, then make sure USB debugging is enabled in the system settings app either under development options or the applications section depending on the version of android your running. After you have done that you can run SuperOneClick and select the Root option to root your phone. Once the process completes you should be rooted and ready to install a custom recovery and then custom ROM.

After a quick look there doesn't appear to be any new ROMs for the LG-C800, however you can install the old ROMs I linked to previously using Clockworkmod Recovery.

Hi. First step is to check if your phone is rooted!
Second step is to check if your phone has custom recovery like TWRP or CWM!
If your phone has custom recovery is good.
First step is to copy the rom on your SD Card!
Then follow the litle tutorial from the original post !
If your phone has no custom recovery you must flash one !
You can download custom recovery from Carliv Post!
After flashing TWRP, follow the litle tutorial from the original post !
Good Luck!

Last question about custom recoveries from the post You mentioned. Theres writtenthat they are for model 2013 and mine have 07/2014 on the box. Are these recoveries still good for me?
losing IMEI frequently
i got the ROM from needrom site hope that doesn't make much difference.
flashed it no problem whatsoever.
problem arised when i tried meteos app for repartitioning.
followed every instruction such as granted root,selected 2.77gb for 4/8gb model.
but wipe in recovery was failure,
then also went ahead with 1st reboot everything was fine got what i needed but after 2nd reboot it always loses IMEI.
i flashed miui6 on vibe03.
evrytime i lost IMEI i used to recover it back by deleting corrupt nvram folder after mobileuncletool fails to sent AT command.
can anyone tell me where am i doing it wrong or why am i losing IMEI frequently ??
my phone is p7804GB july2013 build
thnx in advance

Hi. Because you write your IMEI's on one file you will lose them every time you change firmware!
Your file must be writen on an hardware adress that will remain unwritten on reflash !
That happent because you used an repartition file that was not compatibile with hardware adresses !
On every phone is a part of your ROM (Read Only Memory) that MUST remain untouch! There is the hardware SN, IMEI, and other information!
Using this tools will corupt that part of the ROM.
Try to rewrite with : MTK Droid Tools,SN Write Tool,IMEI Modificator,IMEI and SN Write Tool,NVRAM Backup Restore Wo Root Shell, etc etc.
Good Luck.
Is it possible to flash KitKat with MIUI5 or do i have to go with MIUI6?
Hello people!
So for some time I have been trying to find a custom recovery for my tablet, without any success, I tried using the cwm builder online but it just gives me an error saying "505 bad gateway". I am currently rooted using kingroot, and have a backup of the current recovery if needed. Can please someone please help me out? I can give more specs if needed.

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that I don't have a PC at the moment, or else probably I would follow one of those guides. I really need someone to do it for me, I can send all the files needed. I only have the tablet that's why I tried the online builder, but it does not seem to work, or maybe its because I'm on android.
