This tool installs su and superuser.apk for stock HC 3.1 and HC 3.01
As the old root method does not work anymore this was created with this new tool.
Quote:
How to root

How to unroot
1. Start the tool & click "unroot"
NOTE
- By clicking root, you agree that you do this at your own risk. The tool will uninstall any previous installed superuser.apk.
Thanks
@ChainsDD for superuser.apk and su
@Acer for this buggy tool
Changelog

Is this the same as the Iconiaroot.apk that is already out? I'm sure it works on 3.1 too. We deffinately need a root, recovery, rom thread stickied.
Yes this is the same, it has just been updated with eash OTA that has come out. I know for a fact that it works of 3.1. I did it for my friend yesterday. I myself used this method when I had 3.0 OTA.
and we def need a stickied sections.... who is the moderator for tablets?
Yes it should... it just depends on what apps you are trying to use... If you choose to root with this method, it is just as easy to unroot. keep in mind that the honeycomb market is slightly different than the gingerbread market, not all apps work on both platforms... my only advice is it try and see if it will work for you let me know how it goes for you
Does anyone know if anyone is working on rooting stock HC 3.2 for the update that just came out. Being an idiot and not thinking about it. I ran the update to 3.2 and of course like everyone else, root is gone and CWM is gone thanks to the new bootloader and cannot downgrade the stock rom as this will brick the tablet. Any help or info is appreciated.

Update for anyone who doesn't know yet. They found a way to downgrade to 3.01 so you can root/install CWM again and restore a backup or flash a custom rom. It worked for me. I suggest using method 2 (much easier)
I am trying to root my Acer A500 and the tablet just sits and says it is rooting for over 10mins.
I turned the dubuging on and the unknown sources on. And have a sd card in there, however i wouldnt know how to tell if it is mounted, or if I need more space on there, it is only a 1 gb. I also put it in portrait mode as I was told by someone else.
Anything else I am missing?
Any help is good.
Thank you
