Hello,
Does anyone know how to root the new ASUS Zenpad 10?
I tried the method for the Zenpad S, Kingo app, DingDong app and Towelroot app none have worked.
Any ideas on how to root this tablet are appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Specs
OS: 5.0 (Lollipop)
CPU: Intel Atom x3-C3200 Quad-Core, 64bit
What about iRoot? Looks like it might have worked for other Intel Atom x3 tablets.

Thanks!
But I sold the Zenpad, I never got a chance to try iRoot. If any one has a Zenpad 10 and would like to try iRoot to confirm if it works or not, that may be good for other people who read this thread.
I've tried iRoot but without success.
asus zenpad z300cl
Hi,
i want too , to root my new asus , and i have tested most solution but no work,
There no solution ?
I'm looking for any functional root solution too ! :fingers-crossed:
I emailed asus today and they told me it is rootable but wouldn't help me
Hello,
I think that with android 5.x ...there have no solution to root with one click.
...
I am waiting for my Zenpd 10 Z300CL too.
CPU: Intel Atom Z3560
O.S: Lollipop 5.0.1
not sure if it will work for the zenpad but take a look and see...

any luck ? I just got one yesterday
Actually, I am with ^, I am wondering if some people are having luck with this tablet. I was thinking about using root for some gaming reasons, but towel root isn't working and there isn't anything like nexus root toolkit, so I think that I am going to screw up the tablet if I do it the old fashioned way because I don't have much knowledge in that area and don't want to mess up my brand new tablet without good reason.
I can't get fastboot working... I can boot into fastboot mode but my PC does not detect it (adb works fine). Tried on Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit and Windows 10 (10240) 64 bit.
If anyone can get it working, then this should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/zenpad-s-root-achieved-t3160422

Not even with the other methods (T1, T3 and T4) or recoveries?

I tried all the four T options, but nothing..recovery choice doesn't matter, if bootloader doesn't accept the flash commands..
Note that I tried also the standard command "fastboot own unlock", just to see if bootloader is unlockable..Fastboot seems to accept the command, but after reboot bootloader still locked.
I tried rooting the device using adb too..the problem is located into the default.prop file, where some parameters don't allow adb to retain or gain root permissions. Those parameters are:
ro.secure=1, which forces adbd daemon to drop its permissions to the standard (shell) user, even if it always starts as super user at the beginning (while if to.secure is set to 0, it allows the adbd daemon to retain root permissions after starting);
ro.debuggable=0, which doesn't allow adb to gain root in production builds using the command "adb root" (if ro.debuggable is set to 1, it allows adb to gain root permission and the subsequent procedure for pushing the su binaries.
No luck at all..neither using the "one click root" tools, like kingo and similars, of course. I'm trying to find some tricks for rooting this baby, I'll update you guys with news, if I find something
Oh, btw, I missed to underline that I'm trying to find a method which doesn't force me to unpack the entire firmware, extract and unpack ramdisk, extract and rewrite the default.prop file, and then repack the whole stuff just to make adb working with root permissions..it is possible, but I consider it as the LAST chance (I'll do it though, if I won't find other ways)

I still have not found any way to root
Recently bought Zenpad 10 z300c from China and it has all the chinese apps that i don't want. Nowadays everything is using Google Services and for some reason i can't get it to work, they always crash. So im also looking for way to root it. There is no way to change the firmware without root from CN to WW right? My tablet also goes to fasboot but windows 7 can't find it.

It is a fastboot specifically for Intel devices, however it does not matter because no one has rooted our device.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to "rooting" android devices, although I have jailbroken all my iPhones and "rooted" my palm pre.
As a newbie, it seems the "root toolkit" is the best way to do this? Is this Windows only, or is there a Mac version?
anything else I should read up on / know before rooting? I basically want to root, initially at least, to get sixaxis support and stickmount working.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
First of all, this is the wrong section. You should post inquiries in the q/a section.
In terms of rooting, I personally find the easiest way is to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery such as cwm/twrp, and then install the supersu zip via recovery. You should be able to unlock the bootloader and install recovery via fastboot. After that the rest is just copying a file to the device, booting into recovery and installing a zip file.

The tool kit is windows only, correct?
Any reason to NOT use the tool kit and go with other more manual methods?
An iphone is virtually impossible to "brick" - Is the same true for the N7?

For practice, and maybe the one-click solution is not flexible enough for your means. It's usually dependent on the developer to update it, so do check if it has any limitations.
Also, the ones I've seen are Windows only.

As long as you don't mess up the bootloader, it should be possible to reflash stuff via recovery or fastboot. Bear in mind there have been exceptions (though that came about because of a serious kernel bug, rather than due to user error) so this can't be a guarantee.
I was new to rooting too, using the nexus toolkit helped me learn a lot about rooting and all the android stuff I wasn't used too!
I really recommend it

Another recommendation for WUGS rootkit - literally very easy foolproof step by step menus/instructions - only prob I had were the drivers - just manually pointing to driver directory sorted this out.
I made a guide that could help you. http://exzacklyright.blogspot.com/2012/07/nexus-7-guide-for-adbunlocking-rooting.html There's really only 3 commands. I don't recommend toolkits.

Great, will check that out!
Can someone explain to me, in layman's terms, what "unlocking the bootloader" does?
I'm familiar with what "root" technically means as I've been using Linux since back when it had to be loaded on floppys and manualy configuring X LOL. So basically "root" means you have access to super user privileges.
Why is the bootloader locked in the first place? Once it's unlocked can it be locked again?

Unlocking the bootloader allows you to mess with the bootloaders progression at startup, which gives you the ability to install a custom recovery and gives us the method to gain root access. The bootloader can be unlocked by many different methods - some manual and some "one-click". I'd suggest doing it the manual way first, so you understand the process, and are able to fix it manually if anything goes wrong.
To my understanding, it's locked so that people who don't know what they're doing can't mess the device up. It's a safety procedure basically.
To relock the bootloader, you just type (I only know how to do this in windows - Linux and Mac work as well al beit differently)
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and you're all set.

The Android SDK and ADB tools are equally available on Linux and Mac. You won't have to do the "Adding to Path" thing. All of the ADB commands will be the same, though.
I didn't know anything about rooting at all too, despite having an android phone for more than 2 years.
I went with the one-click root process.
Download this file, plug your Nexus 7, follow the instructions- which means typing Y, N, Y etc
Done in 5 minutes. There's a youtube video on it too. Go check it out.
I still dont know much about the process.. except I'm unlocked and rooted =)
I have a few naive questions
Do I have to do the OEM unlock to root the device? I would prefer not to wipe it.
Assuming I don't hard brick the device, can I go back to stock for warranty work?
Does rooting the device mean I can't get OTA updates from Google? For now I just want to run the stock kernel/rom and get updates. I just want root to run titanium and certain other apps that require root.
I've seen a thread that suggest that the play store (market) doesn't work on rooted devices. Is that true?
Step by step instructional video
Help setting up adb for windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyJlmTtLsIg
If you are already running Fire OS 4.5.3 and below, all you need to do is follow this video to root: https://youtu.be/KcQ30qcImJc
Steps:
1. Install the Fire OS 5.0 developer preview. EDIT: Do not do this. If you already have a lollypop ROM installed, use that instead of installing dev preview (You could cause a brick)
2. Enable ADB on your device and set up ADB on your computer
3. Download 4.5.3 firmware: https://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120.bin (Mirror coming soon. This download works for the Fire HD7 and HD6)
4. connect device to computer and run "adb reboot recovery"
5. use volume keys and power button to navigate to "Apply update from ADB"
6. from computer type "adb sideload update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120.bin"
7. from tablet select "wipe data/factory reset"
8. from tablet select "reboot system"
9. Complete setup (do not connect to a wifi network yet)
10. Download KingRoot: http://www.kingroot.net/
11. Download JmzFireHDTool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fir...ool-jmz-fire-hd-7-tool-gapps-disable-t3113655
12. install both apps. "adb install KingRoot-4.1.0.249-release-nolog-201505211812_105001.apk" and "adb install JmzFireHDTool_v4.apk"
13. Temporarily disable otaverify via adb "adb shell pm block com.amazon.otaverifier" (spelled wrong in video)
14. Connect to wifi so that KingRoot can work
15. Open KingRoot on your device
16. press "try to root"
17. re-enable otaverifier "adb shell pm unblock com.amazon.otaverifier" (spelled wrong in video)
18. Open JMZ Fire Tools and press "Disable OTA's"
Note: If you ever need to upgrade back to lollypop, you should follow these steps so you do not brick device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/tools-fire-hd-67-rooting-gapps-t3371242/page4
Awesome find !!! Here is a direct link to the 5.2.0 update file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/lolipop-ota-capture-t3141810
After the downgrade, install TWRP, and upgrade to 4.5.4 but this time with root and fully working GAPPS:

This way one goes directly to SuperSu, and a clean device with no traces of KingRoot.

The tricky part is that the unlocked bootloader still needs a signed kernel. Which is pretty constraining. It'd be interesting to replace the boot preloader, but the risks are high.
Upon boot (if connected to PC), the system flashes MT65xx pre-loader. Which seems to indicate that one could start looking into programs such as "Smart Phone Flash Tool" and "MTK Droid Tools" for MTK chipsets.
Another hope is that the 5.0 version would be sufficiently buggy, such that the bootloader can be made to boot unsigned kernels.

Btw, any chance you could post the direct link to 5.0 preview (for non-developers), since it's probably behind some registration page or something ...
i just signed in with my amazon account, you will need to unroot your fire and reset it as 5.0 is a OTA.

I wish I could find that bin file link... I looked for it but could not find a link to the actual bin file.. If ota's download to the sdcard then It could still be accessed but I don't know where it downloads to. If it downloads to the data dir of the app it would be inaccesable since you need to be on the latest update in order to download the 5.0 version and on the latest version we have no root which means no access to data dir

Despite really wanting root and the possibility of using my already paid for apps from the Play store, I really like the lollipop version of fire os. I do think it's a bit ridiculous they haven't retained the old kindle skin because it's exactly how every real android tablet looks but at this point they should be forced by law to let people use the Play store as they wish. Sort of like how Verizon was once forced to allow tethering without a subscription.

Perfect timing! Lost root last week and hoped for a way to get back. You the man
I wonder if there is a way to stop the update once it's downloaded, in order to grab the 5.0 update bin from /cache.
This would help to re-pack the update in a way that does not re-write key partitions, then one can have TWRP and root on 5.0
It does sound like 5.0 is a nice update, since it provides stock Android. That's what custom ROMs are usually for, but Amazon will give it away !

I was wondering the same. Seems like you could rename the otaverifier apk back to (plain) .apk and get the download but by keeping com...otaverifier blocked it wouldn't install. I'm just not sure these developer updates are handled like any other.

Yes now I'm on CM13 but I did my root on COS 12.1 before, KingRoot works on both ROMs for me.
Yes, for me rooting gives a lot as I'm using Xposed modules like Amplify and Greenify and some other nice software, but if you don't find it useful don't do it Read on internet what ROOT gives, it's not useful for everybody, but for me is essential.

I have tried 2 different Windows computers, just to make sure that I wasn't making any mistake with the drivers. The problem is that I never get to see my device when I launch the command "adb devices". Developer option is activated, ADB modeas well, OEM unlocking as well. Driver installed (Google generic one and tried also ZUK USB drivers 1.0.5), I get to see 3 devices in System Properties:

Can anyone suggest what should I do?
I don't get the RSA Authentication authorization request from the device once I plug it in....

Use the tool in the link below and follow instructions. It will do everything for you and install a custom recovery and let you install su.
Would recommend uninstalling all previous USB drivers and start again.

I have tried having activated usb debugging:

- Kingoroot
- Kingroot
- Sp flash tool but couldn't find the proper rootkit
I could find many rootkits, but unfortunately for other kinds of Crosscall Trekkers

Android 6.0.1
Hardware version: V1.00

Hi Bfreenoe. I just rooted my Crosscall Trekker M1 with Kingoroot. (I like those phones but they have too many little ****ty google apps that you can only remove with a root)
I used the official Kingo Root app that I installed on my phone.
Download on your computer or directly on your phone the Android's version of Kingo Root
Here's the link of the official website:

Then you just have to put the apk somewhere on your phone where you can find it easily.
Make sure you've got enough battery (They say 70% but I was at 60% when I did it)
And you'll need an internet connection of course.
I hope it'll work for you

Hi Bfreenoe. I just rooted my Crosscall Trekker M1 with Kingoroot. (I like those phones but they have too many little ****ty google apps that you can only remove with a root)
I used the official Kingo Root app that I installed on my phone.
Download on your computer or directly on your phone the Android's version of Kingo Root
Here's the link of the official website:

Hi Ulf,
After loads of tries, I succeeded rooting my Crosscall Trekker M1 using iRoot v3.4.9. APK. BUT it seems quite complicated from there to either :
- install a custom recovery as this device is not supported neither by TWRP neither by CWM, as I can't get the recovery.img
- replace 'irootsu' with Supersu, Superuser or Magisk.. Staying with these chinese app omnipotent in my system doesn't really make me feel that my phone is safe and sound..
Does somebody know how to root this device using a 'cleaner' method ?
Does anyone know how to root the ZTE Maven 3 (z835)?
Need the same info.
Looking for a root confirmation for either this ZTE Maven 3 (z835) or Pixi Avion (STALA570BGP4P) both under $30 android phones I want to use as sort of an iPod touch alternative.
Can't find solid info on either one.
Bootloader unlock
I just want to unlock the bootloader I want to Port a rom to this device
I think there is some new protection they added to prevent developer mode the usual way. When I tap the build number several times, I get this big N in the middle of the screen.

Have you tried the old write protection method yet?
---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------
Run this command in adb shell or terminal
Adb reboot disemmcwp
status update
Any updates on this? Did the adb reboot disemmcpw command work?
Idk I don't have a computer I've seen that command on a couple forums so I thought someone could try it out it is to disable write protection

Not sure - I think this is useful to gain root persistence from what I'm reading. ADB and root tools (like kingroot on pc/android) don't have any more permissions than they did before. We need to somehow exploit FTM or EDL mode for unlocked bootloader, like how the Axon 7 was unlocked. I don't think we'll have any luck with regular userland exploits on Android 7.1.1 with July security update...

Yeah the axon 7 was great to root with exploits I wish so i wish someone had a bunch of free time to make one for this phone
Whatever you guys want me to install on this phone; I'll be happy to. A year ago I got the Alcatel Ideal 4060a for $10 on Black Friday, unlocked it for free right away, (this was before AT&T required 6 months of active service to unlock) and now "that" phone is rooted, has it's own TWRP recovery, there's a Custom Rom for it on XDA, etc.
1 year later, I picked up this ZTE Maven 3 on Black Friday for $8, unlocked it for $1.70 online. I hope the similarities don't end there. These phones are great casting devices.
The ideal was a great phone but this zte is stubborn try the write protect command with king root on the first post in this

Disabling system write protection before rooting didn't wok. The Maven 3 is recognized by ADB just fine, reboots fine after "Adb reboot disemmcwp", Kingo ROOT completes the root-check to 100%, but it shows the dreaded "ROOT Failed" message.
word?
I have 2 of these sitting on my desk, unopened.
Would like to put in service, but not on AT&T rapine.
Try putting the phone in FTM mode and plugging the phone into your PC and run the root program. The only issue with that is it works until the phone is rebooted. That's worked on other ZTE phones I've had. I haven't seen a stable solution yet.

That doesn't work either.
If I could just remove those stupid "Play Movies & TV, Play Music, and Gmail" apps I never use, I would be happy. Those apps alone take up around 200mb of storage just being installed, you can't disable them either.
