My android is 4.0.3 and is on an Acer Iconia Tablet A100. I have rooted it already using this process, and the rooting persists between reboots. I can confirm root access with the Root Checker app.
I have installed the Android SDK and it's required Java SDK.
When I run Droid Explorer I get this message:
What do I do?
Disclaimer: I am the lead developer of Droid Explorer
The dialog is telling you exactly what the problem it. It isn't saying you don't have root, it is saying that it cannot start ADB with root.
The more information link takes you here: Droid Explorer permission denied when accessing root-only folders.
Or you can go right to get ADBD Insecure. The app will exit because you need to install that app first, then start Droid Explorer.
Ultimately, you will need to install ADBD Insecure, or a custom kernel that allows ADB to run in root mode, or you will have limited access to some folders on the device.
