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.
Best Regards
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?
These were the driver I used.
This video show you ,how i done it.
USB Debug enabled but unable to root

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.

Hello Alex:
About the MTP driver yellow mark

Thanks

Hello Alex,
I have a question, too. What do you mean by Droidboot Mode exactly?
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.
Hello,
I cannot connect with android file transfer for Mac and My Note 5- It says try restarting or reconnecting. ANybody else get it to work? I have it set to MTP and I have restarted; it never works. I chatted with Samsung and they said to install smart switch which will install the drivers, when I did this I got a note saying AFT would likely not work and it did not. So I cannot transfer anything...
Help
thanks,
There is a arrow beside name of device pointing down. Click that and then double click the file. Opens up for you to transfer. Way better than AFT ever was
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
download and use an app called AirDroid
Sounds promising. Please explain in more detail. Where are you looking to see the name and down arrow? What app do you wind up using?

I have the same exact problem.
Neither T-mobile, nor Google nor Samsung could help. (That wasted hours of cell phone time!) I did get the Software Data Cable app to work with Filezilla, but WiFi xfer is way way too slow, as I needed to xfer 36 Gb of data.
Final solution was to use my wife's Windows PC. Our Note5s mount there as hard drives, giving full and fast access. Why, oh why, can't a Mac do that?!??

Hi,
I got it AFT to work on my MAC. I had to uninstall KIES first, Install AFT and reboot my MAC.
After that I was able to use AFT (MTP on the phone) to transfer files from my device.
Here is my config
Device: SM-N920T
BUILD: N920TUVU2COJ5
OSX: 10.11.1
AFT: 1.0.50.2266
Alternatively you can use ADB from the ADT and pull files via USB... but that is a lot more work
From terminal: adb pull /sdcard/<path to file>/ /path/to download/
Hope that helps someone.
Thanks,
Matt

From what I have experienced, its either Smart Switch or AFT. You have got to choose any one. I kept Samsung Smart Switch... maybe because I was tired of using AFT all these years and wanted a change. And from what I have seen, Mac doesn't need drivers. Its only for Windows.

If it's ok, you can try some other Samsung mobile manager tool. It allows you transfer files from all kinds of Samsung mobile phones to computer for sharing or backup just via USB connecting cord. Hope it works.

Can you give the link to Samsung Mobile Manager Tool? I am not finding anything on Google with that name.
It does not work if Kies or Smart Switch is installed. You need to properly uninstall them first. I use Android File Transfer without a problem.
Hi,
I upgraded my Nokia 8 to Pie a while ago and now I had to reinstall windows.
Now when I connect the phone to my computer I get the CD drive that should contain the driver but when I try to open it I get a "Please insert a disk into CD-ROM drive F:".
So... how to get the driver from the phone in this case? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the CD device, tried reassigning a drive letter to no avail. This was working just fine prior the Pie update. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks!

What i tried was remove all usb root hubs from device manager on windows and then scan for hardware changes. Everything was back to normal. But since you just reinstalled windows, i don't know if it'll work. But no harm in trying, right?
Also, try searching for drivers from windows update. Check device manager to try and update the mtp drivers manually from windows update.
Or you could just connect it to some windows 7 pc, copy all drivers and install it in your windows 10 one.

Whatever I did, it showed up only as an empty drive. I ended up crawling the filesystem via `adb` and pulled the iso from the phone. It's still there, it just doesn't mount the contents. So I extracted it and put it in Gdrive for future reference. Whoever is interested, can find it here.

Try one more thing: enable developer options by clicking on the build no in about phone a number of times. Go to developer options>default usb configuration. Try meddling with those settings.

I have Pixel 5 and Pixel 3 XL. After I have upgraded to Android 12 and file transfer to desktop was stopped working. I turn on the USB debugging and still I can not see both devices drive in Windows 12 exploer. I can chosse PTP mode can see the photos folder but other then that I can't do.
Could you please instruct me that I can get back the transfer mode, so I can transfer easily with both Pixels and desktop, thanks in advance.
Are you using Windows 11 by chance?
I'm on Windows 10 Enterprise, and File Transfer worked the same before and after I upgraded to Android 12.

I am guessing it is probably a driver issue. Did you install the correct driver's for your device?
... and check developer options for the default USB connection setting, it should say file transfer.

Ooooo, that's a great tip! I've always had to manually change it from charge to file transfer. Never thought to check this!
