Last time I looked into it, folks were able to pay to flash a stock rom with root included. However, it seemed like a relatively large number of users were noting problems on this board and other forums.
Where is the Turbo at root wise? Is it a streamlined process now? Any limitations to the root?
Thanks in advance
It's where it was before, they did get the root to stick a bit more but it's still how it was prior.
Hello XDA,
I just purchased a new Acer Iconia One 8 B1-850 and was wondering if I could root it.
I see many posts on B1-810 and similar, but nothing for the B1-850.

i want to root to enable the multi user option by updating the build.prop file, i've been able to connect with ADB but the device isn't visible in windows or mac (tried both) when you reboot into boot loader, in fact it doesn't appear to boot into boot loader it just seems to power off (when using ADB reboot command or choosing boot loader from the recovery menu) so i wonder if its locked out somehow??
Need it too. Did anyone find a way to root B1-850?
Thanks!

I too just purchased a B1-850 tablet, but I've figured out how to root it. Really quite simple. Just use Kingroot:
1.) Navigate to https://kingroot.net/ from your tablet
2.) Download the APK for android
3.) Install said APK (this requires you to have allowed installation from unkown sources in the "Security" panel of the settings menu)
4.) Load up the app and follow its instructions
5.) Reboot and try it out
For good measure, I would also unlock the "Developer Options" panel and allow USB debugging (adb access) and such; I did this before proceeding. You'll have to search for instructions on that yourself, its well documented.
This all worked for me this morning! Really looking forward to unlocking the potential of this cheapy tablet.
Kingroot worked first try, just swap their super user program with supersu. I am having trouble installing the xposed framework though if anyone has any tips.
I was able to root, now I need to install a custom recovery. CWM says this model is not in the supported list. Has anyone been able to install a recovery? I need NANDROID backup functionality.
I made a thread walking you through how to do it on this tablet in the guides area but just use flash fire for recovery and xposed install
Did the B1-850 hardware updated in anyway? I was able to root it in June 2016, but after a screen repair and factory reset and fresh rom from acer, king root and all others can't work. I'm stuck without any root options. Any idea?

There was recently new firmware released for this tablet (08/24/16, Build #: AV0L0.RV09RC04.WW.GEN1), and a handful of updates (08/25/16, 08/26/16) from Acer. I have this same tablet, and I'm unable to root after flashing to the firmware released on the 24th, and latest firmware (Build #: AV0L0.RV0BRC02.WW.GEN1) as well. Hopefully someone can find a fix, as the few different methods I've attempted simply will not work with the latest firmware from Acer.
On KingRoot Please click submit search if enough people do they will find a root until then just hold tight.

I have done this a bunch, sadly still no love. It's annoying me not being able to root a relatively cheaper tablet, as these tend to get rooted first since they get in more people's hands faster. Oh well, just have to have patience.
Thanks, I was having problems, two different rooters failed and I wondered if it was the recent software update! The image version on my B1-850 is the same as you have quoted! Please post if you find a solution, some apps that need deleting are annoying.

Which recovery do you install with flash fire; I don't see a link to it in your other thread?
Success!
The latest release of KingRoot is able to root the latest firmware for this tablet. I saw there was a new release of KingRoot back on the 23rd, and it's working as it should. I grabbed the working version here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21707
hi guys. any idea how to recover b1-850 from bootloop?
I no its a little late but i rooted mine with the kingoroot one click root apk. Ive installed xposed framework and customized like crazy everything from fonts to boot animation. Cant find a custom recovery tho.
I cannot root it with any of the tools I have tried (Kingo ROOT, KingRoot, etc). Anyone know any method that works?
Acer B1-850. Is this device even rootable?
This device has made an idiot of me. If I can be of any assistance finding a root exploit for this device let me know. I will gladly write a detailed procedure of the process. I made the mistake of assuming since it was an entry level, inexpensive device, the path to root would be simple. Three months later none of the common "one-click" programs has found an exploit. I have a copy of stock rom for recovery so testing is not a problem for me. It's a matter of pride at this point. So much so I found one on sale for $60 and bought it just for this purpose. I have followed every link I can find associated with this device to a dead end. Any help will be appreciated.

Same here, still no root for me. Usually these cheapo tablets are not as locked down.
Still waiting!?
I have given up getting assistance from xda on this device. Its as political here as anywhere else. I don't drive a Samsung so nobody wants to help with root. I've heard every excuse from locked bootloader (unlockable in dev options) to what one dev actually told me,"There's little interest in spending energy on an inexpensive device." I understand, but why misrepresent the site by implying all android devices are treated the same? Hell on the Iconia One 8 thread, it says that the B1-850 does not have a MTK SoC, but instead has an Intel Atom chip. Then they send you to another thread where, of course, there is no B1-850 listed! That's because it uses a MTK8163 SoC. In both tablets.
I don't want to be lame and ask anyone to do my homework for me, but I am not finding a clear method here in these boards. There are of course methods out there on the web, but I don't exactly trust them when there isn't a clear method on XDA. I see the international models have all the goods, and I also see some interesting looking ROMS avail for the T810 which certainly gives the impression that root is out there.
Anyways, my goal is to get root and eventually get upgraded to Nougat. TWRP would be nice, but I did read in one of the threads that there is a bug with the t810 on 6.01 that causes a bootloop. I am running stock 6.01 currently with nothing. Anyone able/willing to assist?
I just updated from marshmallow my self, and what i did was install nougat normally, then install twrp using hemidall( or odin if your on windows), and then installed the super su zip in twrp to get root access.
Hello guys,
as the title says I would like to know if my Alcatel Pop 4 (5.0) is rootable or not. Unfortunately, there are a lot of system Google Apps I can only deactivate, but not fully uninstall as I don't have root access/root permissions.
Now I've been looking for threads the past few days, and I've read that 2 or 3 people were able to root it with KingoRoot. However, I'm very unsure as they reported their phone automatically rebooted after a few minutes and the root access was gone (they seemed to have an issue with the bootloader, but I don't know if they had found the OEM-Unlock and enabled it or not). Furthermore, that rooting tool doesn't seem to have good reviews, at all.
Gladly, I already enabled the OEM-unlock, the bootloader to be exact. I think it's easier to root with an unlocked bootloader.
I also asked OneClickRoot if my device was rootable, and they said no, but I just can't believe it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE PHONE:
Manufacturer: Alcatel
Model number: 5051D
OS-version: 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Build number: 01002
Kernel: 3.10.49-g832a88f [email protected] #1
Bootloader unlocked: YES
I'm looking forward to responses, thank you in advance!
I'm damn confused about how 5051D is named
- Alcatel One Touch Pop 4
- Alcatel One Touch Pop 4S?
- Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3?
I'm aware you got bored waiting for the update. Mine has Android 5.1.1, not Android 6.0.
This for fastboot. It seems the way is to unlock the bootloader and put a "recovery" ROM.

Here's a 6.0 firmware for it:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=758814
Here's another using Kingoroot. I don't trust it as it adds adware, the tutorial seems somewhat not so trusty too...

Here's another forum thread, but I'm not sure what one is 5051D:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi-34-official-t3193624
I found another procedure about back up the ROM. It seems you may need to save IMEI and other stuff or those will be lost:
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html
I found other forum threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/alcatel-pop-4-cmw-twrp-recovery-img-t3446970
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-alcatel-pop-4-fastboot-t3586623
It's a mess and it seems I need a SD card for the procedures, I'll wait to be able to buy one.
I use Linux, so I would prefer to use methods able to be done on it.
Thanks in advance!
hello all!!
i am new to the forums, but i have been looking around for a while to figure out how to root and rom my Amazon Fire 7 (5th generation; KFFOWI). i havent used it in a while and i just loaded it up and now it has an update to Fire OS 5.6.2.0. is there any root for this device? and if so, has anyone found a way to custom recovery the device or unlock the bootloader? if there is no way, i am quite interested in the method used on LG's devices on if that would work to get a custom recovery on here. we all know about how most of LG's devices has a locked bootloader and the only way to get the custom recovery on specific LG devices was with a Bumped version of TWRP. if there is any way to test and work on it for the Fire 5th generation the same way it has been done on an LG G3, it might work out in the long run for this device. yes, root may have to be achieved still. but if someone can work on a ROM dump and try to find a loophole or a backdoor the hard way, we might be able to achieve root. i personally haven't learned android SDK let alone android kitchen, but i have a lot of experience in rooting and romming devices. my device is basically useless to me as i have a macbook and another android mobile device (LG Stylo 4 *still trying to find root for that device as well*), so if anybody tries these methods and can at least bring this device back to speed, we might be able to get more development for this device and probably can get Nougat or even Oreo on this device. you'll never know unless we try to put forth the effort to getting this device resurrected and rid of this FireOS plague!
Thanks!
