Here is my experience with all this and why I need help ..
(Yes, I am new to all this, maybe that's why I get confused but alright..)
Okay, I want to root my phone with the design of DocRambone. Right, I follow your guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7329960#post7329960
And go to HOWTO#1 which says I need to flash my firmware. And so I start.
I first download Odin, get the 512.pit file and then try to find the desired firmware package(which according to the Doc guide is I9000XWJM8). Okay, I search the link and get to this: (I pick original firmwares -> Europe)
https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...n/Original Firmwares/Europe/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
Which leads to my first confusion. I can't find anything named "I9000XWJM8". The closest I find is the one called "GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8_I9000XXJM4_CODE-MODEM.7z". Can I use this one or where is the "I9000XWJM8" ? :S
Right, I then assume it's the right one and continue only to find out that I don't know how to start my phone in "download mode". Or maybe I just can't because I got one of the phones without the 3 button combination. I'm not sure which one it is, and yes I did try all the combinations you state here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746814&page=2
None works. But how does the screen look like when you are in recorvery mode? Maybe you should add this to the guide, so people know if they can or cannot start in recorvery mode.
Anyway, I assume I have one of the phones without the combination and so I continue to the guide "Release: 3-button combo fix for any firmware version":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
I follow the guide and get to step 6 which says "Start a new command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery"". Right, what's this now?
I go back to the big tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7329960#post7329960
And finds the ADB tutorial to find out that I need Android Software Development Kit .. AND a rooted phone. Right, so I wanted to root my phone in the first place and now I need to root the phone in order to get the 3 button combination so I can root the phone. "Wait what?" was my 1st thought. But then I remembered that I found this guide earlier "[REF] Howto (un)root your SGS I9000 the easy way (keep all your data) (Eclair 2.1)":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Why did I got here? Because it said "the easy way". I thought that maybe it doesn't need the 3 buttom combination and so I found out it doesn't!! YAY finally a breakthrough, I thought. And so I started with this tutorial.
I was then met with this
"ROOT includes:
- Superuser 2.3.6.1
- Busybox 1.16.0 (for use with Titanium Backup)"
which brings me to another question: Does this mean that you get these apps when you use this root method? or do I need to install the apps first?
I thought it was the first one, since it says "includes". And so I start with the "Automated Method!". I dowload the .bat file and start. Follow what it says and reaches to the part where I plug in my phone. Here I get the error message: "Driver installation unsuccessfull" (Or something like it. I Don't recall since when I plug the phone in now I don't get the error. I don't even get a "ready to use removable disk" now. It doesn't even recognize the phone now when it's plugged in). Now I have tryed to connect it to the pc before (although WITHOUT the USB-debugging checked) and it worked fine. And this is as far as I can get. I am now officially stuck!
I have read comments and all but it doesn't help.
I'm realy tired from trolling these forums after being led through like 4-6 guides + the ones I havn't mentioned here (havn't counted, but something like that)..
So can anyone please, for the love of god, tell me which guide I should start with, list the guides so I know which one to go to next and answer the questions above.. My head hurts now :S ..
But in general, please write the guides more "noob friendly" or whatever .. I think alot of them are written by admins for admins(or atleast people who know their way around these phones). Atleast that's the impression I get.
I know it was a long read but I hope you'll help anyway
Thank you in advance!

hello there, I can appreciate if you're new to smartphones it can seem a lot to take in.
If you want an easy/simple way to root then there are 2 or 3 methods available on this fantastic forum but try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
just go to youtube and search for rooting videos and watch someone do it first, then you do it. very easy once you see how it is done. youtube or theunlockr.com also has great videos
Yea but my problem is now that I can't get access to it when it's in USB debugging mode.
As I posted earlier, the first time I put my phone in USB debugging mode and connected it to my computer it said "Drivers where not successfully installed" (or something like it).. And now, when I connect my phone to my computer in USB debugging mode, it won't even show as an USB. It doesn't pop up and say "USB connected" and I can't find it under My Computer.
Someone who can help me with this?
And when I plug it in, in USB debugging mode, should I press the USB connected button on my phone, like I usually do when I connect the phone to my computer without it being in USB debugging mode?
Okay, I found the device now on my computer, but I can't find any drivers for the phone to be connected in USB-debugging mode. Anyone knows where I can find drivers for this?

when used as USB Debugging mode, you need no driver if you plan to use it as a mass storage drive
you just pull down the tab and select mount the drive
then you can copy your Update.zip to the phone Internal SD
after it is done select Unmount the mass storage drive from the pull down tab in the phone
and now you can boot into the Recovery Mode, select update.zip
and you are rooted.
reboot back to normal, and enjoy the freedom to install any App you want to play with
The easiest way I found is to go on to Android market, install One Click Lag Fix. Then open the app and select root 2.1. Restart into recovery and select apply update.zip. Your phone reboots and its rooted. Simples!
simplest way to root is
1)go to market search for RyanZA's OCLF 2.0.
or here is link http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.rc.QuickFixLagFix
2)open the app
3) click root.
4)then boot into recovery
5)use volume button to select update.zip and click home button
6)your phone is rooted.
Hi everyone... Can anyone here let me know if these "lagfix" rooting methods work and are SAFE for a LOCKED (I have not unlocked the sim) Bell Galaxy S with stock JH2 rom? I am also a bit of a noob and would like to see what this phone can really do.
Also... Do I have to unroot it if I want to upgrade to froyo when it is released?
Please advise...
Thx.
yiannisthegreek
PS... Once this is rooted, HOW do you unroot with these "lagfix" methods if I ever need to?
i would advice againts installing the LAG FIXes as they can kill your Internal SD
there are over a dozen forum topics with people unable to repair the damage, and end up having to ship the phone back to samsung to have it repaired.
Allgamer...
Thank You for the heads up on this but now I am still confused on how to do it. I have to move the update.zip file to my internal sd card but I too have some issues that I cant figure out.
I learded how to do it on youtube watching someone called tech0stickyasglue and it seems very simple but firstly I am not sure exactly where I have to place the file and if I have to unzip it and then place the 2 folders inside it into the sd card, etc... I also have an issue with the whole "mount" and "unmount" thing.
I can mount the card while in usb debugging but when I go back to the dropdown menu it does not give me an option to "unmount" it only gives me an option to quit usb debugging and when I pick this option I get a warning message saying that I should "make sure I have unmounted form the host" or something to that effect.
Can you give any advice or step by step instructions to me on what and where I need to place these files to make this work?
I would greatly appreciate it...
Yea but the thing is that I can't go into recorvery mode.. The 3 button combination doesn't work (Talking to the people from page 1)

When I put down the tap and select mount the drive(when in USB debugging mode that is) I can't acces the phones folders. I can't even see the extra icons you usually get, under My Computer, when you connect an USB to the computer. I can only find the SAMSUNG_Android under Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound ->Devices and Printers where it lies under the "Unspecified" section and not under the "Devices" section. And when I right click on it, press proporties and go to the Hardware tap, I can see under "Device status:" it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" ..
So can anyone tell me what's wrong? (I havn't installed Kies btw, dunno if that has got anything to do with it)

Ahh... the joy of Android & Kies....
you don't really need to install Kies, I only installed Kies to check for official ROMs, but i was using the phone on the PC even without Kies installed
You can install the Android SDK drivers, inside the Android package that you download from google, there is a sub folder with both 32bit and 64bit drivers, unplug your phone and install them, then plug back the phone, it should be detected now.
in my Work PC, i never installed any driver, and i select mount, and it gets detected as a USB key by Win XP

Alright, thanks alot But where can I find this Android package then? I'm not sure what you are talking about exactly
Why wont anyone explain WHAT file(s) you put WHERE exactly for this update.zip root method? Is is some sort of "spy secret" or something?
Seriously... I CAN get to see my phone folders on my computer so I am good there but what I dont know is if I am supposed to move the entire .zip file to the root of my sd card or if I need to extract the .zip file to the root of my sd card.
At any rate... I have tried BOTH methods and I always get the same error message when I reboot in 3 button mode... Something to the effect of E: cannot open / install update.zip... Invalid or not found... (I am guessing on this as I am at work but you get the idea)...
Please... ANY help and "step by step" instruction would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Hi,
One Click Lag Fix (OCLG) downloadable from Android Market will give u an option to root ur phone. And also it gives u an option to fix the lag in galaxy s. I have more than 80 applicatons and widgets installed in my phone. I insist that OCLF is the most useful, powerful and demanded application ever. It is so easy to use and follow. It even offers an option to unroot. So don't be afraid to download and install.
For ur reference, the bench mark speed has been increased from 800 to 2150. Comparable to nexus 1 with 2.2 was 1200. Hope this helps.

Hello,
I unfortunately just updated to 2.32.651.2 before deciding to root my phone. Is it still possible to root with this updated version, or should I downgrade. If I need to downgrade, can anyone tell me which software version I need to downgrade to in order to root, and a thread linking to a guide to downgrade?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847993
this should do it
I think you can root this version, search around... if it possible you will find a post regarding it.
If you plan to downgrade, I would recommend .5 and then root using regaw's method - you should find all the details on the CDMA hero wiki page.

Root Sprint 2.32.651.2 OTA Permanently (in 10 steps)
Hi All
I have been able to root the Sprint 2.32.651.2 OTA permanently with the old boot-patched method. It is a little tricky and requires some knowledge of the Android SDK and Android Commander (There are several documents on how to install and use these 2 tools. Please search them out and learn.)
None of the other rooting methods seem to hold root after booting on this update. I have done this twice and it retains root permanently.
You must follow these steps to the letter.
First gather the tools needed for this root method
Android SDK (up and running)
Android Commander (androidcommander.com - makes moving and deleting so much easier)
SuperOneClick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 (this will give you temporary rootand install superuser, It is only temporary. After you do a boot the phone will loose root)
RomManager (download from Market after you have temp root)
Boot-Patched.zip (place this at the root of your SD Card. Flash through recovery. This is what will give you permanent root. File attached)
I take no credit for the tools that are needed. They are freely distributed. If I could remember who they belonged to I would give them props. Props to all the devs for making my Hero more enjoyable!!!
Process:
1: Install Android SDK. Make sure it is up and running and you have knowledge of the tools
2: Install Android Commander. Make sure it is up and running and you have knowledge of the tools
(Plug your phone into your computer with a USB cable)
3: Download and install SuperOneClick on your Windows based computer.
4: Run SuperOneClick.exe from the programs folder and click the ROOT button. (this will give you temorary root and install superuser onto your phone)
(At this point DO Not Reboot!! You will loose root and have to re-run step 4)
5: Download and install RomManger from the Market
6: Open the RomManager App and install the Clockwork Recovery (now you have a custom recovery on the phone. This will allow you to run Boot-Patched.Zip while temporarily rooted.
7: Through Android Commander copy Boot-Patched.zip to the root of your SD Card
8: Once Boot-Patched.zip is copied, boot into recovery either from Android Commander or RomManger
9: From recovery, flash boot-patched.zip like any other ROM. (this will permanently root this Sprint Update)
10: From recovery, boot the phone. re-run Android Commander and look at the bottom left corner of the program window. If it says "root OK" then it worked. If it says "root NO" then start over at step 4.
To test if you have permanent root, through Android Commander, remove a stock app that you do not want on your phone. If it works, you have permanent root. You will not be able to remove apps with temporary root.
I have an understanding of all of these tools. For you noobs out there, just keep learning. Trial and Error that is how its done. Keep asking questions (in the right forums please) someone will answer.
Enjoy
PS: Once rooted your WiFi will be non-functional. The only Kernel I have been able to get to work with this update and fix WiFi is the ZenKernel from 08122010. Serch it out, download and flash. (If you dont, you will be stuck with a phone with no WiFi and a top speed of 585mhz through SetCpu)

Sorry I forgot to mention that there were a couple times that the phone locked up durring the reboot to recovery stage. I do not know why. I beleive that it was due to forgetting to install the recover before rebooting. If this happens, pull the battery, replace the battery and start over.
Thanks

my WiFi worked fine after rooting the ota update by following the linked method. ^
Go ahead and root using the method mentioned above, if anything goes wrong... you can always RUU and reroot.
BTW, I have downgraded using .5 RUU and rooted my phone, so based on my experience I can say, it works well. I had initially rooted my .7 and was running CM 6.0 stable, had some issues, got my recovery screwed up, so had to go all the way... ;-).

Ya I tried that one. Couldn't get it to take. Mine is sort of the non-syntax method.
Aloha from the smoggy skies of Beijing.
I have recently purchased a Huawei u9000 from jingdong.com (China's equivalent of eBay), and have encountered a plethora of disappointments in trying to root the phone.
First, the phone (from the About section):
Model: HUAWEI-U9000
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: PR232
Kernel Version: Apps_2.6.32.9-perf
Build Number: U9000 V100R001C322B259SP00
Running these methods while using a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 laptop.
Here is what I have attempted:
1) SuperOneClick 2.3.3
Attempted with Auto (as rageagainstthecage was not listed as an option), no success.
2) SuperOneClick 1.7
This was quite annoying. I had read that rageagainstthecage was the silver bullet for most people's problems, but after reading the revision log I noted that it was no longer included in versions 1.8 onward. I have also read that version 1.7 is the recommended version to use with my phone, so I obtained a copy.
Here is where it gets annoying: everytime I unpacked the contents of the zip file into a directory, rageagainstthecage would simply disappear after a few seconds.
I am aware that rageagainstthecage is some sort of trojan, and so I killed both MSE and Comodo processes (those that I were able to, some of the Comodo ones were stubborn).
Every freaking time I extracted rageagainstthecage, it would vanish from the directory 5-10 seconds after extraction. My google-fu could not point me in the right direction, nor could I even find anyone else experiencing the same problem.
SuperOneClick would invariably freeze after the ninja file disappeared.
3) Snakebitezz method
(found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274972)
Steps followed:
a. Power down phone.
b. Reboot phone holding down power and Vol+ keys simultaneously
c. Plug in phone once download mode has been entered.
d. Access the drive once it is available in Windows
e. Make a copy of all files in the /image directory somewhere on my laptop.
f. Copy over files into /image and overwrite as prompted (recovery.img and META-INF directory) using the files linked in the post.
g. Copy su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to the root directory of the drive (also downloaded from the post).
h. Eject, disconnect, remove battery.
i. Replace battery, while holding Vol+ & Vol-, power up the phone until it vibrates, at which point release the power button, but continue to hold in both Vol buttons.
j. Hit the search key, select install from zip, select install from zip again, and...
This is where I hit a wall on this method. The .zip file that I left in the root directory is not listed. I have tried several times with minor variations, and each time the .zip file is not listed, thus not an option, thus I can't progress any further.
Regarding this method, to the best of my knowledge I do *not* have BusyBox installed, though in the post it mentions that it is necessary, though it was not available for download in the post. Furthermore, it seems that I have read that to use BusyBox, the phone needs to be rooted. Regardless, I'm not sure where I can obtain BusyBox, as I am in China, and currently cannot access Google Play/Marketplace (this is one of the reasons I am hoping to root my phone).
4) GingerBreak APK
Using GingerBreak-v1.20.apk, I place the APK file on to my phone, install it, open it, and select the 'Root' option. I have left the phone running this option for 45 minutes with no change in screen, status, and without any reboots. I have read that others have had success while leaving GingerBreak running longer, but my luck has been such that I'm not sure if it would just be a waste of time for me while there are still other options that I have not attempted.
*Note: USB Debugging was on for each of the above methods.
So, here I am, seeking wisdom. Can anyone see from what I have listed any missteps that I have taken?
What other options (that have some nice guides available) are there?
I've read that people running Linux have had better luck, should I get my hands on an Ubuntu distro, and research the routes available through that OS? If possible, I'd like to do this without having to set up a dual boot machine~ I like Linux, but I'm still a Linux n00b and all the games I play are on Windows anyhow.
Your efforts are sincerely appreciated.
TLDR: With a Huawei U9000 have used two versions of SuperOneClick, Snakebitezz method, and GingerBreak APK, all without success. Seeking guidance.
hi
if all u want is to root and add CWM and try new roms then
id suggest u start reading here this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288293

Thanks, but I have tried the methods for rooting listing on your post. Very nice compilation, by the way! It looks like it will be super useful once I finally get the phone rooted.
I'd like to add two more methods that I have tried that have been unsuccessful,
1) Unlock Root (program)
2) Z4Root (APK)
When using Snakebitezz method, does it matter how I put su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip into the root directory? Do I need to be in 'download mode' to place it there? Because when I try to locate it following the guideline, it doesn't show up in the list. All I see are the names of the directories accessible from the root directory. Would it matter if I tried putting the .zip in the root just by turning on USB transfer and dropping it in there (while it's *not* in 'download mode')?

Thanks! I will try this right now!
EDIT: BTW, does the phone need to be rooted in order to use SUT? If so, rooting is the problem that I can't get around...

Just curious, from the page inforall webs com/spicemi410.htm, it says that I should download clockworkmod recovery for Spice Mi410 from MediaFire, but the password listed on the page isn't working... Anyone have a direct link to this file or a working password?

Recovery and stuff is on the roll up thread. God! Only if people started reading the forum would be a better place

I think the roll-up thread should be in General Category and not in Development because whenever people come to start a new thread in General they can see the stickied Roll Up thread, Just my $0.02
Success in rooting!
Perhaps I wasn't using the latest version of CWM? Or maybe it was because I loaded the file onto my SD card by taking it out of the phone and using the USB connector that the SD card came with? I don't know.
I used CWM 5.0.2.7 (touch enabled), and then used the same su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274972 and I finally got root! Heh heh, now, wait til I'm sober, and I'll start panning the threads for info on how to update the version of Android I'm running... Any good suggestions from people on a u9000?
Ok, I have a N7000 with stock gb and KK2 kernel and I want to load the Paranoid Android ICS rom. First I see that I must route my phone, so I tried following the instructions at:
http://www.android.gs/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-note-n7000/
These instructions make it sound darn simple, but perhaps I am really dumb? Ok, so first I downloaded the latest kies as well as "CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5.rar"
After installing kies, I got it to connect to my note although not without heart ache. Eventually I found that it would only work if I first disabled USB debugging. But that wasn't enough. Then I had to reboot the phone. (Without that step it wouldn't work). It wasn't clear to me if I even needed to make it connect to kies. The instructions didn't say I needed to. Ok, so then I start "not-rooted-yet.bat" which displays this:
(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
(4) [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes
(5) connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC
(6) skip "PC Companion Software" prompt on device
(7) !!! PUT A CF-ROOT zImage FILE IN THE zImage FOLDER !!!
I can only easily do items 2-5. It's hard for me to imagine that I should just ignore the other 3 items.
Instruction #1 confused me. How do I accomplish that? It seems that the adb drivers come with the android sdk but the instructions don't say anything about installing that. That seems like a big deal and if it was required it seems that it would surely be mentioned?
Plus I found this post which also indicates that the sdk is not required.
> victorlht88:
> no u don't need the android sdk to root.
> just install kies, plug your phone with usb debugging enabled
> and let it install the drivers.
> restart your comp and plug your phone in (download mode),
> downgrade the firmware (if need be) with odin and simply
> root using cf root.
> its not that tough.
However those instructions seem about as clear as mud, since if I plug in my phone with usb debugging enabled, kies just hung forever saying "connecting".
Do the adb drivers get installed just by installing kies or do you somehow have to coerce kies to do this?
And then there is step 6. But I don't get any prompt of any kind when I plug in the phone to the pc.
And then there is step 7. I don't know what this means, but my guess is that I have to copy the zimage\zimage file to somewhere on the phone. However where exactly? There is no zImage folder on my phone! Plus even if there was, I couldn't copy anything to it after checking "USB debugging" (mass storage mode) I can no longer see my phone in explorer. What happens when I plug the phone in is that the phone says "USB connected" and then two new drives appear on my PC. However if I try to click on either of those I see "No disk drive. Insert a disk and try again". I even tried rebooting my pc, but then I get even more than two new drives showing up briefly, but they always give the same error message as before.
... yet I know that thousands of people have routed their phones ... so I am left pretty mystified. If anyone can clarify these instructions it would help me greatly, and maybe others as well.
Thanks
~Paul
Follow dr. Ketans thread in the development section.
And once on download mode with usb connected, CLOSE KIES. Otherwise odin will not work.

Hi, your guide is taken from here. I think there is a missing step, which is to download the InitialCFRootFlasher.zip from the end of post #2, and you need to follow the instruction step "1.2. If you are not rooted yet: Using the zergRush exploit".
Btw, adb drivers are included when you install Kies in your PC. Once Kies is installed, you have to close it. Make sure your phone is in USB debugging mode before starting the procedure.

Ok, those instructions seemed more clear. Different script as well although perhaps not significantly so? In any case it worked. I'm not rooted! Thanks all
~Paul
you said your kernel is kk2, then why did you use CF Root KK1?
Cf root kernel for KK1 and KK2 is same.
Hello to all,
I just bought an Acer Iconia One 8 B1-810 and I have a few questions.
First of all, is there already a way to root this device, or else is the root under way?
Secondly, is there another way than rooting the tablet if I want to get rid of the bloatware? There are many pre-installed Google, Acer and Amazon apps I'd like to get rid of.
Now, am I right to assume that to get rid of the bloatware, I can simply stop and deactivate the apps I don't want, and then erase the corresponding .apk and .odes files in the appropriate folder? Or is there something else that I must do?
Thanks for helping; the Iconia One 8 B1-810 is a fine tab, but this bloatware is driving me insane!
Best Regards and a Happy New Year from the South of France.

Dead link and a few questions
[email protected]Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I've got a few questions/comments:
- The first link doesn't work, unfortunately.
- Will this root work for all Intel-based Android tabs?
- I wen t to Acer's website. There are no USB drivers to download for the Iconia One 8 B-810. I already connected my tab to my laptop, though, and it was recognised by Windows 8.1. Does this mean that the USB drivers might already be installed by default on the laptop?
Thanks for helping,
Best Regards.

The link is now fixed, sorry for that.
-it works on several acer/levorno models, inclusive Acer Ionica One 8 B1-810, I just rooted my yesterday.
-About the drivers no, you have to install ADB drivers, to do that download Cydia Impactor extract the downloaded files to your desktop run the app under USB chose Driver Scan and install the driver and you are ready to start .
Root
Hello,
Thank you for all this information. I will try to root my Iconian One 8 B1-810 over the weekend and tell you whether I succeeded or not.

Error Message!
Hi again,
I downloaded Cydia Impactor and tried to upload the drivers to my device as you said but it doesn't work. I connect the tablet to the computer with an USB cable, launch Cydia Impactor, choose USB then Driver Scan but all I get an error message stating No such device. Any idea about what I am doing wrong?
Since you have already rooted your tablet, could you possibly attach the drivers here or send them in a private message? This would really help me.
Best Regards.

hi, in order to install the drivers, you have to activate the "USB debugging" option under the "developer options" on you device.
then run Impactor.
if that fails, tomorrow I will leave you a backup of my drivers on attch.
Did not work for me
Hi guys, thanks for the post but this does not work on my B1-810. When my tablet reboots it does not boot into CWM. Can anybody tell me what the message in the attached screenshot means?

Hello Alexys77
I have got the same problem as Slithertooth and i get exatly the same screenshots on my B1-810 when I start launcher.bat on the computer.
Many thanks for uploading your drivers here. I downloaded the .zip file on my computer but I don't know where to start.
Could you please tell us which files we need and how we must install them on the computer after dezipping?
Sorry if I ask silly questions, but this is the first time I am atempting to do this (I rooted a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 a long time ago, but it was a one-click root-thing).
Thanks again for helping,
vbdx66.
hi slithertooth and vbdx66 thats easy to resolve .
This screenshots mean that the ADB drivers are not correctly installed.
To resolve this, with your tablet in Droidboot mode and connected, go to device management on your PC and find driver with a "yellow ?" click properties click on update navigate to unzipped drivers and click ok.
Then execute launcher.bat file again.

Thanks.

i mean Fastboot mode, Acer call it Droidboot.
-power off your tablet , then press V+ and Power, old it for a few seconds and release it when Acer logo pops up.
it worked!
I booted into "droidboot" and then connected to my laptop with usb debugging enabled. Then i downloaded Cydia impactor and using the USB drop down menu in this small program I was able to successfully instal the needed drivers. CWM then came up following the previous instructions.
Now can we flash ROMs on this tablet???
Success!
Well guys, I went through the whole process again, which was very tedious to say the least, and apparently it worked, SU is now flashed on my B1-810!
I now have Root Access in ES explorer, so this is simply brilliant. I can now access the external SD card or without restrictions again, which is just what I was looking for
Something strange, though: I installed Root Checker and it says me my tab is not rooted... Can it come from the B1-80 running an 'exotic' Intel Bay Trail processor?
I would be very interested to know what results you guys get from Root Checker after the whole rooting process is completed. Does Root Checker also tell you your B1-810 is not rooted even though it is? Is there another way to check that the tab is properly rooted, or can it be 'half-rooted' or something of the kind?
Best Regards to all and many thanks to Alex for the great job done
Update - Tablet Rooted
Hi again guys,
According to another root checking programming, my tab is properly root. Screen capture in attach. This time I used the Root Checker programming from Free Android Tools.
Update - I checked properly again, and now the other progrwm, Root Checker Basic developed by joeykrim, also tells me my tab has full root access. Cheers!
And Now That B1-810 is rooted, what?
My main concern to root this tab was to get full access to the external SD card again (done) and to definitely get rid of the bloatware, which comes unfortunately in quantities on the Acer B1-810. I already deactivated many apps I won't I use, like Email and Gmail (I use Aquamail) and Acer Docs, Acer Music, etc.
Now that the device is rooted, can someone who's already done this can tell we whether, under root, there is a safe and efficient way to completely uninstall these unwanted apps, like any 'normal' app downloaded from Google Play? Should I just suppress the relevant apk's with ES explorer or could this make the system unstable?
Furthermore, is there a way to control which apps the tab will start when booting?
And lastly, is there any way to tell the KitKat Camera app that it should store the pictures on the external SD card by default?
Any other things you guys are willing to do now that your tab is rooted? I am curious.
Best Regards.

I deleted anything I didn't want using es file explorer. Navigate to the system app list from the dropdown menu and delete all the bloat you want. I deleted quite a bit and just disabled anything I was unsure of and I've run into no problems yet.
Which system apps to delete?
@slitertooth: Could you please be more specific? This is the first time I am doing this and I am afraid of damaging the device. If you don't mind, which apps did you deactivate and which did you completely uninstall?
Thanks.
