Hey Guys
I have bought the asus Fonepad which so far is a great device.
But i can´t find any information onn the internet on how to root it.
Could you use a general root for the padfone or do i have to wait for
a special root.
Thank you
I got my Fonepad this morning and its nice, but it needs some developer love to be my daily driver for more than a couple of weeks.
You cant count me in for at least $50 towards the cost of a device if a developer wanted to take it on.

I've on this device for cluple of days and it's really a kind of device with great potentials. The screen is nice with good density and the connectivity are all in. The telephony features is unique for this kind of device and the best part is it's running on Intel, I know developers can do wonders on this device and not to forget the price is very affordable. The kernel source code are available at asus website.
So dev's let's start the exciting work and really I need to root my device ASAP.
Thanks for the reading.
Asus fonepad
Hi to everyone, i have bought this device too, great phablet but no chance to install Firefox or Firefox beta in order to test flashplayer. It s says damaged or invalid packet. Poor rear camera with NO flash, so guys let me change ideas about this device...:cyclops: i ve tried a lot of version of flash apk with no result. Please help us

Tested it on the fonepad. Doesn't work. The shell doesn't show up after booting. Also after "Restore my data" the script doesn't recognize that the restore is done. I have to power off the device manually.
Up to now I haven't found a solution on the net to get root access. I want to use the fonepad with USB OTG to controll a DSLR. If this isn't possible I have to sell it again
I've ordered it and I'm waiting for the device, I hope that will be opened a dedicated forum!
Coming from P1000 that was kept alive still today with 4.2.2 by amazing developers. I hope this will too.
I got one too
I have had mine for a week now and am finding the performance to be a bit sluggish, but not too bad. The total package is quite nice. However, we need to be able to root it to get the most out of it. I will contribute as well.
How much?
Hi guys, just curious how much you bought the Fonepad for and if anyone using it on T-Mo? If so, what speed are you getting with the HSDPA?
Thanks!
Edit #1: I'm blind, PERLMANE is on T-Mo. What data speeds are you getting?
Edit #2: Oh and can you side loan Flash Player so viewing of websites with Flash content? I read somewhere saying since it's X86 that Flash Player won't work, though I couldn't understand why not.

I got the same error message when I tried to install Firefox. I looked at the Firefox release notes and it says Firefox does not support Android running on an Intel chip. I had not realised this was going to be a big limitation.
I hope asus fonepad get some love from dev soon. Lot of potential in these phablet. Intel has some software compatibility but seems makes up in battery life.

I am getting good speeds on T-Mobile. While it says "H", it is clearly delivering H+ speeds consistently over 5m download and close to 3m upload. This is much faster (almost double) that of the H+ speeds I was getting from AT&T.
As for Flash, I could install it, but that effort was not worthwhile since it does not seem to work with any browser.
Asus Fonepad USA Fedex asking FCC Form
I ordered from Taiwan for delivery to USA.
Fedex called and says they need FCC form 740 and it asks for FCC Id. Otherwisea they say it will not clear custom. How do people get this into USA? Has Fonepad passed FCC requirements?
Not sure how I can proceed...

It fails to install SuperUser Binaries. Perhaps the Intel Atom chipset has something to do with this failure to exploit for root.

Seeing as how I manage the Airpad program at X10 I'm hardly impartial. Hopefully someone else can reply too. But about the stock -- We have 3 shipments arriving this week and next week.
Its a shame i don't see anyone trying to port CM7 to this.
I would buy it for sure then

I have to ask why. You haven't even used it, how do you know that the stock firmware isn't great to begin with?

Airpad questions
Does anyne know if the mini-usb is really an On The
Go compatible port, meaning it can act as either client
or host usb port? I have an OTG mini m to a f adapter.
Does it auto recognize it or does it need an app like
the NOOK color?
How does it handle USB host port (a f) flash drive
mount / dismount? Is there built in support or do
you need to issue the commands from an ADB shell
or a terminal shell?
I'm interested in being able to backup all the
partitions (regions), would I just do DD's for each
/dev or is there a tool / app to do that? Something
like clockworkmod recovery's nAndroid backup
/ restore functionality?
Does it boot from the microSDHC like the NOOK
color?
thanks
Kev.. I have a very important customer who fell in love with the Airpad 7 and wanted all his field inspectors to have one. He also ask me to custom develop an app he needs in the field. ALthough I have been a software developer for over 30 years, I have never develop for a device like Airpad. Is there a resource you can point me to for developers? TIA..

If it's already rooted, why doesn't Titanium Backup work? It displays a message that it could not acquire root privileges.
Attempts to use su from a terminal screen yields a message that says that UID 10067 not allowed to su.
So, is it rooted or not?

NO ANDROID MARKET but not horrible
Overall the tablet is pretty good for the price. Just picked one up and am posting from it now. I am VERY disappointed in the lack of the android market and i hate the amazon app store. Limited selection and emails me for every free download because it is a "purchase"(lame).
Good little ereader and web browser. Much more useful with the apps i copied from my other android devices using root explorer. Battery life could be better but as an appliance around the house, we are always close to an outlet so it isnt a concern for how we are using it.
The gTablet with CM7 is still my primary tablet for on the go. It is heavier and more cumbersome than the airpad but having my google services is more important on the go.
I will primarily be using this tablet for my home automation controller, at least until cm# is ported or they give me android market access
Hi Kevin. Quick question on airpad. I'm in BC Canada and can't get amazon.com on this device and I also can't get access to the android market. All I want is access to a netflix app for streaming to my TV. I managed to download the slideme app store but they don't carry netflix. Any ideas? Thanks rgk123
Just received my 7 Plus wifi. So far I like it, although there doesnt seem to be a lot of interest from xda or other forums. Since it was just released today, I suppose I need to be a bit patient. This is the closest forum so I am adding this post here.
I really need a root and adhoc fix so I can use it with my ET4G and sell my ipad!. Also I want to hide the status bar. I may dig into it attempting the 10.1 or 8.9 root, but I have a bit of reading to do on it first.

I ordered it expecting it in about 10 more days or so. Lo and behold I got a shipping notice yesterday.
I have read that it uses the tegra2 processor, but I see no evidence of that. And now I attempt to find it on the web and it is nowhere to be seen.
I will definitely work on getting a system dump tonight after work. I might ask for some help onthis.

Thanks, I like it, but I hope development catches on like the acer iconia a100. I would have liked to opt for the 7.7, but I read its not coming to the states and the pricetag will likely be heftier.
I bought it thinking it had a tegra2 but was elated to find it has the exynos.
I think, if I weren't already awaiting the HD SAMOLED+ awesomeness of the 7.7" tab, I'd probably sell my 8.9 now and get a 7 Plus. I've been saying all along that the Exynos is a beast. Tegra2 is a huge disappointment for me...
P.S. I've seen preorders from Expansys and Mobile City of ~$600 - 700 for the 7.7 import. Have my 3G 7.7 preordered now from Expansys. Oh baby! Can't wait!
Hello everyone.
I know there have been many threads concerning this topic but there does not really seem to be any improvement. My question concretely is, is there anyone currently working on a root for the b80? Or is it impossible to hack the root key?
If there is someone working on the rooting, is there an estimated date available.
Just so you know, I did actually search many many many topics on this subject but nobody seems to be able to give something concrete.
Anyway, I hope someone has some solid answers
Sincerely,
Incapable
Actually, I wasn't able to root it and though to return it back before 14 days pass, so got the Samsung GT P7510 instead and rooted it in 2 minutes , got the HDMI adapter and getting the USB stick adapter soon. IT is better screen resolution, brighter and lighter. 2 days running (without charging-only one charge) only 10% (interrupted use with stand buy mode) of battery life used. The transformer , B80,will be hard to root, so be patient.
...and any breakthrough in development will certainly be revealed first within the eee pad transformer forums.

Ok, great, but i don't see any reason to replace it with a samsung, the resolution is actually equal to the transformer, cannot agree with the brightness. I can run it for 16 hours full operating and that is more than enough for me. Anyway to stay a little on topic. I know the b80 will be hard to root, that is exactly why i created the thread.

Most probably, but maybe someone had found something somewhere else. Since there has been no update in 2 months about this I thought it might be time to just ask once more.
Here is a comparison table, 7510 has better color depth and Screen Readability in Bright Light is better.
There is a table at displaymate.com/Tablet_ShootOut_1.htm#Recommendation_3

Agreed, our friend incapable is asking if there has been any news on rooting a B80 Transformer, s/he is not asking for advice/comparison for acquiring another tablet.
It is unfortunate there hasn't been any updates floating around or any indication that it is still being worked on even. Let's just hope that we'll see some news soon. I wonder if the TF Prime will have the same SBK and if it does that should actually benefit us because there will be a flurry of new Devs attempting to root it.

Indeed, my first guess will be that the TF Prime will indeed have the same bootloader since, as far as i have seen, did not actually change anything about the software at all. It seems to be they have only made hardware changes.
Let's just hope for the best.
I don't know if I can wait for that release...
I may have to resort to flashing an older version like B70. I think there is a way to go backwards.
Have had stock rom for long enough!
Which developers are working on this? Is anyone? I'd hate to think that everyone was standing around waiting on something that no one is working on
I have a locked transformer as well, and I'd like to contribute... who should i talk to?

No one really bought the ME171. It wasn't released in many countries and it was outrageously overpriced for a device that wasn't that good or didn't offer anything too great to begin with. I'm not really sure what Asus was thinking when they released that device. Unfortunately, you're going to have a really hard time finding information about that decide.

If proper steps are automatically performed
* Tablet will restart
If not reset this scrept is failure you had to manually take out protection
go to settings / applications /running and stop the asus sec and google services and push...,And quickly run number 2
after reset update your busy box and super user and install root keeper

I have a 7" Proscan PLT7223G, CPU: Rockchip RK2928 1.008Ghz, GPU: Mali-400 MP dual core by ARM running Android jellybean 4.1 with Google Play in it.
(Not letting me post a url, but if you google "PLT7223G manual" you'll get a page where there's a firmware and pdf manual ready to download.)
This is a cheap device (the one I could afford till I buy a better one) that I bought from walmart and I would love to root this device but so far have found no help anywhere on the internet. I know an expensive device has many users and more chances of being rooted, but is it possible to root this fairly obscure one?
I am fairly comfortable with using Android SDK and JDK or any one-click installer.
Can any one help and/or point me to the right direction? It's overwhelmingly info-rich and confusing for an android newbie like me around here :S
I would be super super grateful if anyone can help me root this one.
Thanks guys.

Go here then:
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
If you need help installing adb driver try www.snappea.com. Just install on Pc, then when program prompts you connect phone to PC with USB Debugging enabled and it will take care adb driver for you.
I purchased the same tablet PLT-7223G-4K from Woot two weeks ago.
I can confirm that Cydia Impactor will successfully drop SU into /system/xbin. From there, I was able to get a # root prompt in ADB shell and do whatever I pleased. (Thanks to the persons above me for pointing that out, I was getting a little frustrated with this thing.)
I can also say that the generic Google USB Driver will work for connecting to this tablet. I am running Windows 7 SP1 x64 and had just updated the Android SDK prior to trying various methods to root the tablet.
If you need any more specific information, I would be happy to help, since I have the exact same tablet and purchased it for the express purpose of poking it with sticks.
Success!
@Klown80 and @jfmajo Thank you very much! I've successfully rooted the device with cydiaimpactor without a single hitch. Got SU through adb shell and all! . Took less than 5 minutes!
Am loving this tablet now! It's actually quite fast and smooth now that I've been using it much.
Next stop: how to remove bloatware and make my inexpensive device even faster and show it off to my friends who got expensive ones eh!! Any suggested readings? Please do share!
Thanks so much again. You guys rock!
help me please

+1 confirm for this method of root.
I've got the PLT7223G-K8G, It also runs on rk2928 This version has a 8gb flash and suppose to be clocked at 1.2ghz (more on that in a sec)
Got this at walmart blackfriday came with a KB case, suppose to be a Christmas present for my sister but I wanted to test it out
before giving it to here, I Just got into android my self 2 week ago.
Anyway I used I ran SRT appguard and it said it was vulnerable to 9695860 & 9950697
I tried detecting device in Cydia Impactor but it just said "requested resource not available" file missing?
So I used this USB driver here: ** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Cydia Impactor rooted successfully in about 30seconds, Funny srt appguard was still running and complained but it went thru anyway lol
Installed SU, all is good.
I was running WinXP x64
I could not find a firmware download for my particular model.. although you can find a list here:
** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Here's a list of firmwares for the 7223g model line
** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Now as for my particular model, I would not have bothered rooting it since it was suppose to be a gift however it has 2 problems.
1. The device is suppose to run at 1.2ghz.. mine is locked to a range of 800-1000 (awesome range huh?)
2. The governor seems to be really messed up.. no matter what type of load I put on it I could not get it to crawl out of 800mhz.
So I rooted to get Cpu tuner installed and working.. So now I've got it properly scaling ot 1ghz but that's still not right.
I've emailed CS but im not expecting much given the price and judging from their poor support on their website.
Debating if this shouldn't just go back to the store.
EDIT: Oh ya one more thing.. These tablets do not have a volume rocker.. just power button.. thought that was kinda on unusual other tablets I've seen all had volume buttons, I know that's usually how you boot them up into recovery.
EDIT2: LOL Well, dont bother emailing support.. I've tried twice both times bounced back fialure to deliver.
First time I thought it was because of the screen shot I attached, but 2nd one came back also.
Takes about a day for it to come back though, to lazy to look at the headers which are epic long.
Give them a call monday, probably gonna just return this tablet though.
EDIT3: Well I just realized the phone number is to Canada which counts as international on my cell.
So .. sent a email to their sales email hopefully that one don't get bounced.. If It does im probably gonna return it.
EDIT4: Ok sales address also bounces back, so both the email addresses on their site are borked.
EDIT5: Took it back for a refund, It developed a problem with charging on the 3rd cycle, it said it was 100% but the battery was flat dead and would turn off soon as I unplugged it.
I think the battery was bad I noticed it was warm right before this happen even when not doing anything..
To bad, tablet actually felt pretty solid in the hand.
Won't Show Up
I can't seem to get my Proscan to show up, I have all proper drivers installed, USB Debugging enabled, but it still doesn't show up

Use app guard to check and see if the device is vulnerable to 8219321 or 9695860
If it is then Cydia Impactor will likely root it.
I posted how I did it on the proscan I had 2 posts up.
Should be same process if your device is vulnerable to either of those security flaws.

Ok I can confirm this works, downloaded root checker and root explorer. Both worked...is there a thread on here for this device or similar ones?
wondering how hard it would be to get a working custom recovery, would have to be something touch without keys, probably like TWRP. wouldnt mind doing some theme for this device.

I think this is the only thread on the device.. or at least the biggest.
My unit was suppose to be a present for my sister.. but it turned out to be trash.. at least my particular one was
CPU was capped at 1ghz not 1.2.. broken governor never let the cpu get above 800mhz (lowest freq)
and battery quit taking a charge on 3rd cycle (despite it saying it was 100% charged.. it was a lie)
Support is basicly non existent for proscan, some units don't even have firmwares on their website, support/sales email addresses just bounce stuff back.
Ended up returning it and getting a azpen a700 from micro center for 40 bucks, smaller outfit but at least they have something resembling support.
android 4.2.2, technically inferior ot the proscan I had but since the unit I had was garbage I guess that's moot.
It's surprisingly snappy for what it is Allwinner a13 @ 1.2ghz, kernel allowed up to 1.5ghz but the unit I got was unstable even at 1250 so they must run those tabs at the ragged edge of stability, no issues at 1.2 though.
If you got a good proscan I graduate you, The one I had actually felt very solid and good in the hand.
Slightly above average screen for cheap tabs.
I updated my proscan plt-7223g with the firmware from curtis international now i dont have touch capability or internet connection. I'm still able to navigate with the keyboard. What i'm asking is if anyone has the stock image or stock firmware for it? It would awesome to get it back to out of the box state.
