Acer Iconia Tab A500 tablet with Rooted Google Android

Although we barely got the first few looks at Acer’s more serious entry on the Android tablet market, we already have root for the Iconia Tab A500. If you are wondering who pulled it off it means you are sort of new to the whole Android scene because it was the friendly neighborhood XDA Developer. The tablet was barely released and saw the first glimmers of daylight and we already get the chance to play around with it and maybe even get a chance of bricking it ourselves. Keep on reading for a detailed view on the matter!

Acer’s Iconia Tab A500 got into the lucky hands of one XDA Developer named monki-magic. He posted a step by step guide on how to get your very own Iconia Tab A500 rooted but always beware as this can always run the danger of bricking your device. If you are a brave soul then keep on reading. This was largely thanks to the hard work of XDA moderator Chainfire who recently released his Gingerbreak rooting tool which allows the user to finally gain superuser permissions on the device they are rooting.
