If you can successfully move apps to an SD card on your ROM, then the ROM kernel will have loop device support: the move-apps-to-SD card feature requires it.
However, some kernels, notably the older TeamDRH ICS kernels, have been mis-compiled, so you should check directly for loop device support in the kernel:
Code:
$ [B]fgrep loop /proc/devices[/B]
7 loop
$
However, if you plan to run Ubuntu in parallel with Android, then it's better to use a Linux kernel than an Android one.
Thank you,
I have managed to get it running but am having a serious lag with the JB ROM, still able to run commands through terminal but when I try to vnc in I barely am able to load the desktop, am assuming I should drop down to a lighter ROM like a froyo. Maybe a little over clock will help.
Hi all,
yesterday I succeeded in rooting the new ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7.
Model-Number: ME173X
Android version: 4.2.1
Kernel version: 3.4.5
HD 7 Build: ME173X_WW_User_4.2.1.75146_20130523 release keys
PC operating system: Win.. XP
USB-Driver I used (but there's WdfCoInstaller.dll missing, which I already had on my PC):
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME172V/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20130415.zip
Maybe this more complete package would work, too (I didn't try that):
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip
Method to root is by using motochopper.
You can follow the next steps in general as described in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40129120&postcount=1
One important thing:
motochopper didn't recognize my HD7 at once, so I did the following
(while being connected with PC via USB and motochopper waiting for device):
While USB debugging activated, go to USB settings an connect it as
integrated CD drive. motochopper will automatically recognize it
and continue with rooting process.
And last but not least:
As always, all you do is your own risk and I'm not responsible for any damage.
Good luck
-----------------------------
EDIT 2013-07-06:
Above procedure for rooting works with the new HD7 update, too (but you have to re-root after the update).
Build version after the update: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.51129_20130619 release-keys
-----------------------------
Description for Linux users:
- use motochopper package from link above
- login as root
- extract package
- open console and change to directory where you extracted the package
- chmod +x adb.linux
- chmod +x run.sh
- Check your HD7 will be recognized:
-> ./adb.linux status-window
-> shows "State: unknown"
-> connect HD7 (with usb debugging enabled, connecting as MTP device)
-> above started adb command should show now "State: device"
-> HD7 recognized - greatful, you're ready
-> press Strg-C to abort
- (optional) for more information about your HD7 you can enter: ./adb.linux devices -l
-> this should show something like: D6OKCXXXXXXX device usb:1-3 product:WW_memo model:ME173X device:ME173X
- ./run.sh
-> follow instructions on screen
- you're done
-----------------------------
EDIT 2013-07-16:
Above procedure for rooting works with new HD7 update (but you have to re-root after the update).
Build version after the update: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.91525_20130711 release-keys
Thank you very much! I had it attached as a camera, worked fine as well. ^^

hi
it is possible to enable usb host with the root on the memo pad hd 7?
Memo Pad HD7
Thanks...
Have been looking for Root ever since I got one Device on Friday.
Root seems to be working fine.
By the way - Saturn Germany got stock now as well (blue and white back) - bought 3 more today.
The MircoSD is taking 32GB straight from my Galaxy Note 10.1 - the resolution is really cool and no errors or problems.
I personally can do no more than highly recommend the Tablet.
Change - just made a firmware update to 4.2.2 - root is gone...

Thanks for reporting that.
Do you mean that rooting is no more possible with 4.2.2 firmware?
Current version 4.2.1 is somewhat buggy. Launcher FC quite often. It would make sense to download 4.2.2 but it would be unusable for me without root

Well, I wouldn't say not possible. It's just that I couldn't manage to get it done de same way so far.
The 4.2.2 update is pretty neat. The tablet works more stable now. The home screen rotates and the display is much brighter.
Just some update features I discovered.
As of root I was hoping that someone would discover some different, more stable way - like CF-Autoroot on the Nexus 7.
I‘m a little busy at the moment.
Hope to have a look on 4.2.2 on weekend.

Does it show the Android version 4.2.2 in System information? Or is it still 4.2.1 (and it says ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.51129_20130619 in build number)?
I have Android version 4.2.1 and build number mentioned above. And I got it rooted without any problems on Linux (the way it is described in OP).

I am running Linux too - couldn't make root so far - did you use some different settings?

Nothing special... The only trouble I had in the beginning was to get ADB responding properly. I have different versions of adb utilities on my PC. Other ones did not work, the one in motochopper package worked fine. I was using the original motochopper files. I had to use root rights (running script with sudo) to get it working. Might be that this is the showstopper for you
Full sequence should be something like this:
* Switch on developer mode (multiple clicks in about box on build number).
* Find developer options in the setup menu. Switch on USB debuging.
* Plug in the USB cable, try different USB modes (I think I made it using cd-rom mode, modes can be changed in storage settings under advanced "USB computer connection" menu from the top-right corner menu icon).
* Run the motochopper script with sudo.

Have you tried running adb.linux separately? Does it connect?
Run it first with "kill-server" argument and then "shell", for example.
If you get shell access then you should be able to root it. If not then there is something wrong in your pc setup or tab settings.
I assume it worked before you updated your HD7.
Hello everybody,
as promised I got some time to deal with the update.
In short, rooting with this update works, too (but you have to re-root after the update).
Build version after the update shows: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.51129_20130619 release-keys
I updated post #1 and put some additional information for linux users.
Regards
quaddler
My Memo HD7 arrived yesterday an it is great ! (amazon.de / germany)
Rooting procedure worked on Win 7 without installing new drivers very easy.
To turn on Developer Mode to switch USB debugging Mode on:
Build Number:
ME173X_WW_user_4.2.1.75146_20130532
Open “Settings”.
Scroll to the bottom and tap “About phone” or “About tablet”.
At the “About” screen, scroll to the bottom and tap on “Build number” seven times.
You will see a “You are now a developer!” message pop up, then you know you have done it correctly.
Done!
You can now enable/disable it under “Settings” -> “Developer Options” -> “Debugging” ->” USB debugging”.
Then just run "run.bat" from motochopper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40129120&postcount=1) and
follow the instructions.
Sorry for offtopic but any info what's new in this update 4.2.2? I'm from Bulgaria and don't have update yet. l'm still with first version ME173X_WW_User_4.2.1.75146_20130523.

update
Hello,
I have a question:
After the root any new Update can be install over the air?
I built a kernel which includes Mali r3p1 driver.
It helps to port Samsung 4.2.2 STOCK Firmware [ i9300 I9300XXUFME3 ].
It includes correct modem source and all driver will be work.
For developers,
1. You should modify the ramdisk for this kernel.
[ Please mod I9300XXUFME3 for I9305 ]
2. Put my modules to lib/modules/.
3. Make boot.img [ make.sh ]
4. Mod android ROM [ ril, sensors and etc.... ]
[ You should base I9300XXUFME3 4.2.2 ROM ]
Sorry to poor english ;(
I'm Korean.
and I don't have I9305 device.
but Korean Galaxy S3 LTE (SHV-E210S/K) and Korean Galaxy Pop (SHV-E220S) were already ported Samsung 4.2.2 ROM ( I9300XXUFME3 base ).

Thanks man!!!
Would be awesome to try 4.2.2!
Ah sweet this is probs y my 4.2.2 port didn't work
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
Could anyone provide a link for a working custom recovery for Samsung SHV-E220S, pls?
I'm looking for 2 days, found 2 versions, Odin flashable, but after flashing OK(?!), I'm still on stock recovery(3e)!!!
SOLVED!
Due to xda mskip problem is solved:
Quote
"Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (requires root). Now when you flash Custom Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot. You can also do this via the Toolkit."

Rooting Guide for any Android Device
Code:
*Your warranty is now void
*I absolutely disclaim all responsibilities
*I am not responsible for bricked devices, since rooting is by your own will and not mine
*You point the finger at me for messing your device up, I will laugh at you
Prerequisites
- Drivers for your phone installed on PC
- USB Debugging ON and Unknown Sources Checked
- Knowledge of your Mobile's Android Version ( e.g 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 )
What is rooting?

Pros and Cons of Rooting an Android
Pros
- Total Control over CPU Frequencies ( Under/Over clock )
- Install Stock Based Custom ROMs
- Remove Rubbish from System files
- Custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP
- Install tweaks to speed up and improve your phone ( e.g. Crossbreeder, Supercharger )
- Terminal Emulator control
- Duh! Root Access
Cons
- Your warranty may be voided
- If done wrong may result to a bricked device or bootloops
- If you overclock the device too often the battery life will deteriorate
So should I root my Android?
That is completely up to you. Rooting is for those who want to explore Android and really experiment on their phones on what to install and what not to,
Methods
There are many ways to root your Android Mobile. This guide will sum it all up in a clean and orderly manner for convenience
1) Rooting through "One Click Applications"
UnlockRoot and SuperOneClick are famous and are known to root and have rooted many devices ranging from Android 2.3 - 4.1
The Simplest way to root Android devices, and Easy As ABCs
1) Connect Phone ( USB Debgguging on, Drivers Installed )
2) Press Root Button ( Some devices need to be Shell Rooted first )
3) Wait for reboot prompt and click yes
FAQ
My device isn't detected, What should I Do?
Install Pdanet and it will detect what phone drivers to install to your PC, just select your phone brand or if your phone brand is not on the list
select Other Brands
Failed to Root? WTF!
Calm down, there are more ways on how to root,
Through In-Mobile Apps
For Android 2.2 below rooting is made easier by an app called "Universal Androot", very simple, no drivers required, no PC required just install the APK on your phone and press Root
Another alternative to Universal Androot is z4root
For Android 2.3 - 4.3
Some devices vulnerable to exploit rooting can be rooted via "Framaroot", Just press the exploit mode below the SU management app ( You may even choose whether to install SuperSU or Superuser ) and voila your rooted
Root through kernels
Well if your mobile's bootloader is unlocked, Most kernels have auto root function which roots your phone with the latest SU and just flash the Kernel via ODIN or Flashtool through fastboot and your rooted
* This requires Unlocked Bootloader
Rooting Manually ( No Apps or whatsoever )
If the tricks above variably failed there is one last, method. Rooting the phone Manually
Click Here for Unlocked Bootloader
Click here for Locked Bootloader
This requires sufficient amount of knowledge with ADB commands and the like
If your device was rooted Congratulations, You are now really using Android Like A Boss!
Please consider hitting thanks :good: ! Happy to help
*bump
Thanks for your work.
Thanks
love it, especially the insecure boot image tutorial!
Great Guide :good: will do better with some screenies but it will do thanks
*bump Some Devices ( 4.4 ) can't be rooted via Unlock Root
Will be updated with ss soon
@Revontheus
If I may suggest, please add Kingo root too "One-click apps", there's also eroot for xperia 2011 devices to "One-click apps"
Then here's the rising superstar by shuame download link: http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ under "one click apps"
Hope this helps
Thanks will add that

Dear XDA,
I have had a Tudou 91 D1 for over a year, and i tried every rooting method. (one click root, srs root, etc) I tried looking for roms but there is little on google about this phone, and nothing on xda. It is a good phone, very happy with it, but no roms. Is there any rom that could be tweaked to work on my phone? I checked about rom porting and creating a new rom via kitchen but all those require a rom for my phone, and a rom i want to change. The problem is i got nothing for my phone.

Thank you very much!
First off, try to see if the manufacturer provides existing firmware on their website. It would be ideal if you can get that. If there is one, then that would be your backup.
Now the next step towards rooting is to either use z4root or try to inject the root into the stock firmware and then flash it yourself. You may also use this guide to enhance it further.
Now supposing you do not find a Stock firmware by the manufacturer, there is a way to backup the current stock firmware on the phone. At least for most of the phones. Here's a nice Guide on how to do so. I am aware its for a different phone. But it will give you ideas and pointers.
FYI on SRS page they say your phone is supported. So Try These steps
1. Use USBDEVIEW to uninstall any usb devices that look like they may be your phone.
2. Download the Universal Drivers from here http://hexamob.com/drivers-smartphone-tablet/tutorial-universal-adb-driver-koush/
3. Once you have your phone installed with the proper drivers and can access ADB via cmd (if you need adb tool search the forms) download the srsroot and run it.
Like i said in the first line Your Phone is Supported by SRS root. Once you have root back up your phone. Back up your WHOLE phone not just system and data. Everything. Once you have a good backup. start playing. If you just want to use some simple mods install xposed. If you want a custom AOSP rom u will prob have to build it your self.
Have fun!
I will try! i think i messed up somewhere with adb, when i tried srs root. does srs root need adb drivers? if so, then that was my problem.
