Root has been achieved for the A510!

[RobKort]

Would be nice to get ROM manager with CWM working in it. Hopefully we can get it in the A500 also once we get the update.

If you are like me, you are getting the error:

"mempodroid isn't created"

I found a solution. I'm not sure if this is anywhere else,
but I will post it here.

I am using Win7 64bit, Iconia a510

I installed Superuser BEFORE I did these steps.

I opened runit-win.bat in a text editor and found the step
sending me to the error and simply deleted it.

I deleted lines 19 -21:

adb pull /data/local/tools/mempodroid
if not exist mempodroid goto ermem
del mempodroid >nul

I "saved as" and just added a "2" to the filename: runit-win2.bat
I ran it again, got the reboot, got root

Have fun.

Must.resist.urge.to.root -- it's only been out of the box for a couple hours!

Quick question -- can it be unrooted / returned to stock if something comes up and it needs to be serviced?

I assume the reset pin by the usb port.

Executing of the main script.
link failed File exists
mkdir failed for /system/sbin, File exists
error: device not found
The file "su" isn't created!

hatte den gleichen fehler ... die datei su wurde aber trotzdem kopiert und der root zugriff funktioniert. wenn du dir nicht sicher bist, kannst du mit diesem programm prüfen ob du root zugriff bekommen hast

Guys it seems everytime i reboot i have to run this command "run -o remount, rw /system/" to be able to have r/w access on /system. Did i do something wrong? I used the root method on the op and it says failed at the end. But after rebooting it seems that i have root. Can anyone help pls. Im not sure if this is normal and i want to make sure that everything is good before i install thors recovery. Thanks!

I am the one that found out it worked!!!, The day I got my A510 from Amazon I said what the hell let me try and low a behold it worked. I am waiting for some good roms to get cooked before I unlock my bootloader.

I had the same issue. We have root, no worries there. I noticed a few reboots/retries and I can get r/w on system.


I'm thinking about checking if I can get Tasker to run that command you do automatically at boot.
Just write a script and have Tasker execute it.



On a side note: The OTA update WILL remove root. I just re-ran the script and it's back. No worries.

I too had the same problem with the simple method, The soltion for me was to copy the "su" file from the tools directory to the same directory as the "runit-win" file and all worked as expected.
