Rooting Iconia A100 Made Easy

[jschall]

Bonus Round! DING DING DING!! With a rooted A100, we can now get Netflix to play (without that pesky 12001 error).

Download a file, replace a file: libnvomx.so
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Nav to /system/lib, and locate your original libnvomx.so file, and rename it to libnvomx.bak (or similar), and copy/paste over the Xoom 3.1 version

downloaded from above. Reboot your A100, and then try Netflix. Enjoy!

I did all that. But where can I find a Netflix app for Android 3.2?

check 4shared.com

There are a lot of apks on that site. . . but I am not advocating the downloading of payed apps.

AFAIK, Netflix' app is free. But it has not been released for Honeycomb - yet.

Update : I found version 1.4.1 on 4shared.com, it works for me - even in Canada! Thanks, Diknak!

hi, i cant root my A100. i copied the su file in the internal sd card then i paste these commands in the terminal emulator
/system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`mount -o remount,rw /system`'

/system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`cat /mnt/sdcard/su >/system/xbin/su`'

/system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su`'

the su file is there in system/xbin then i installed super user. but when i installed busybox the busybox file was not found in the system/xbin but found in the system/bin.. still not rooted so ive tried some experimentation commands, i paste these commands in the terminal emulator since i found the busybox in system/bin

/system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`mount -o remount,rw /system`'

/system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`cat /system/bin/busybox >/system/xbin/busybox`'


how can i fix this? how to delete the busybox in system/xbin to redo the rooting procedure..

thanks all
