Post by: Crumbz on December 01, 2011, 09:44:30 AM

hey so i bought an acer iconia tab A100 8GB. and im trying to either root or use sideload to run unsigned content.

but im having some issues... i tried installing droid explorer but i keep getting an error:

Error txt is:

and i also tried rooting the manual way but cannot find mnt/sdcard on the internal storage.

all i want to do is have my device support DUN networking over Bluetooth and AdHoc WiFi support.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
