[Q] Root Creative ZiiO 7" Android 2.2

Hi, it is possible to root ZiiO tablet with Android 2.2 ?
I try with z4root 1.3.0 but is not working
Is there any other solutions ?

my friend's sister is working as a designer and user experience officer at creative. as far as her knowledge will carry her, the answer to root is NO

in any case, why did you wish to root it? even after you root it, it wun be able to perform up to anywhere normal tablets can

Thanks for the replay, i what root access to try to install Android Market ... do you think is possible?

Solution
Just finished rooting this damn thing and it wasn't the easiest thing to figure out.
I used a 2 stage process.
Stage 1 (run superoneclick using the psneuter option until it fails)
If you're familiar with this skip to stage 2
get the adb driver from here
configure it to see the ziio using these instructions
get SuperOneClick from here
run it with psneuter root option selected until it stops and says FAILED
Explenation:
The ADB driver is needed for interacting with the tablet in a command line.
SuperOneClick comes with all you need to crack this baby. It loads the psneuter app which gives you temporary shell root and loads busybox on which is an app everybody and their grandmother uses.
Stage 2 (finishing what superoneclick can't)
Go to superoneclick's folder then in the Root folder you find there
Copy the su-v3 file to the adb folder (situated in Program Files/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
Rename it to simply su
Start cmd and navigate to the adb folder
Use the following commands:
Code:
adb push su /sbin
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
chmod 4755 /sbin/su
rm /data/busybox/su
cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/busybox/busybox
chmod 4755 /data/busybox/busybox
exit
adb pull /system/ziilabs/init.rc
Open the new file in the adb folder named init.rc
Edit it and change the line
Code:
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk_data1 /data nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime
with
Code:
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk_data1 /data nodev noatime nodiratime
Save the file
Push it back to the ziio using
Code:
adb push init.rc /system/ziilabs/init.rc
Reboot the tablet and you should have root
Explanations:
SuperOneClick fails because it expects normal android file locations, which the ziio doesn't uses (probably to make it harder to root). All the files that are normally held in sbin apear to be in /data/busybox (weird). You have to delete the original su app, load the new su app in the /sbin directory where the superuser apk expects it to be, move the busybox application to the folder where the ziio has it's internal apps and allow it's use.
Thanks to CLShortFuse for superoneclick, to toolzz whose information gathering started me on this trail and thanks to mrrooty whose post here helped me figure out which su version I was suposed to use.

rooting too...
i try the guide and my ziio has now permanent root and android market working fine...

Im going to give it a try as soon as i can find out how to update the drivers in windows. Cant find the device in device manager on XP.
Any tips?
EDIT: OMG thanks so much it worked!! PS you need to shell root first or you cant adb push su /sdin

Thanks! It worked great on my Ziio 10 as well.

Thanks to linkerro!
I also have rooted my Ziio 7". But some additions by using Windows 7 for the guide i have:
1. Every programm (Editor, CMD, etc.) you need to start it as Administrator!
2. I added the file "adb_usb.ini" manually in %USERPROFILE%\.android
3. The Superuser.apk i have copied it manually to /sbin by using ADB
Dont forget to press the THANKS button ;-)
Thanks!

Thx for this Guide.
My ZiiO 10" was rooted and i had google apps alredy installed, but without a change file (/ system / ziilabs / init.rc) Now i edited it with totalcomander on my ziio.
Is this a 100% root pernament?
Work all the root only programs?
Anyone tested Chainfire 3d @ ziio ?

Thanks a lof for guide, i have only one problem with my ziio, i haven't notrification sound i app (gmail, facebook, talk, vCommunicator), it's some fix for this problem ?

help
I am stuck... I cannot get my ziio 7 to appear under adb..
On putting 'adb devices' under cmd it just shows 'List of devices'.. but the list is empty.

With a lot of persistence i finally managed to root and get the market running.
Initially my Ziio 7 did not show under abd devices as the file adb_usb.ini was non existing.. then i followed another thread "Tegra forum about adb-usb driver"...... which helped me create the above mentioned file.. and then got my ziio 7 to appear on the adb devices list.
and following this guide i got the root....but to get the markets and rest stuff installed i have followed the below mentioned guide.
"19300-ziio-shell-root-fully-working-android-market-ad-hoc-fix.html"

Yes it is full root, all root requiring apps working 100%

I just want android market, don't need root. Is it possible? how to?

i have full root now... thanks...

ROM Manager
In ROM Manager, which ROM should I choose? Without which, don't believe I can install Google market.

@laverdone What method did you use to install the google apps?

guide to installing google apps:
After you have rooted or shell rooted your ziio
1. download rar with the apps from here (http:// www. megaupload .com/ ?d=QSM6ATPB)
2. unrar them into a directory (and rename them to something like googleApps so it's easier to work with)
3. delete app/SetupWizard.apk (you allready have this)
4. use adb to push the files to /data/googleApps (or any directory as long as it's not on the sdcard)
5. run chmod -R 755 /data/googleApps in the adb shell
6. copy the files to /system (cp -rf /data/googleApps/* /system)
7. clean up (rm -r /data/googleApps)

One more thing. The market doesn't see gmail and the other apps as installed so you have to get them again from the market if you want updates.

ok i have come accross this but i am a little lost at the steps
wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside
it says to download 3 files psneuter busybox and super user unzip the downloads into the same folder. then it says to open a terminal and change to the folder i dont understand this what am i suposed to to? it then says i need android sdk installed and working witch i do i installed it for android screencast. then it says adb devices but does not say how im suposed to enter this command. after that im fairly sure its from the cmd entering the commands shown on that link. can anyone tell me how to get throgh the first few steps please?
copyed from link
Manual Root
[edit] Download
psneuter: Download
Superuser: Download
busybox: Download
Unzip the downloaded files into the same folder
Open a terminal and change to the folder.
You need the android SDK and ADB working. To make sure type:
adb devices
if your device lists, then you are ready to go!
[edit] Gain Root
Run the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/temp/psneuter
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/psneuter
./data/local/temp/psneuter
ADB should hang, wait a little while and then type:
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.
Type:
exit
adb push busybox /data/local/temp/busybox
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/busybox
./data/local/temp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
The last command should return nothing

update i learned how to do the procedure and finished sucesfully however the phone is still not rooted. i did reboot the phone after it seems faster now but not rooted.i downloaded the root checker app and scaned the phone it emailed me a log and here is that log

is it even posible to root this phone?

i guess im not allowed to be helped or somthing.

i have a procedure here that i had to build up from 2 seperate write ups. i had to use this one http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...oid-without-rsd-lite-up-including-frg83d.html along with this one together http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside to get it to root properly.
here is what i did. u will need the downloads from both links for this to work i beleive. follow the steps from the second link to gain root once u get to where the number simbole is shown in the command line u need to switch to the instructions in link 1 and start at step 13 and follow to the end. this works to root your flipside when nothing els will work at least for me it did none of the apps that are suposed to root for you worked for me.
thank you me for having to figure this out on my own have fun

Problem rooting
I rooted my Flipside at its stock state and it worked fine. And then I upgraded my software to 2.2.2 Froyo and lost the root so now I am trying to reinstall z4root and re-root the phone but z4root now doesn't work. It gets successfully installed but when I hit PERMANENT ROOT it just stays in that window with the turning wheel and gets stuck there. It doesn't completely root. I've tried the hard reset by pulling the battery, and hitting the back key and forced closing it and then trying it again. Nothing works! HELP!

I once had a flipside. I rooted it the stock rom and then updated to gingerbread and then rooted again. I used superoneclick though. I'm not sure which version, but there is (or was) a flipside forum here on xda with documentation on the entire process.
Edit: here's the forum link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=772

Really? I thought the only upgrade I can do to it is from stock to Froyo. How'd you do that? I'm sorry. I am totally untechie. :/

[Solved] Root TF101 without Windows, possible or not? Yes, it's doable!!!

Hi all!
Was about to purchase a Nexus 7 when I saw a huge discount on the Asus TF101 and decided to take it. How I have a it in front of me proudly informing it has the firmware revision IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615. BTW, the s/n starts with B50 if it matters.
And now what? Wait for the official JB or root it right now? I usually root all my devices at least to have nandroid + TiBu, even if I don't plan to install any alternative FW.
The problem is it's an ICS 4.0.3 with the problem to enter into recovery mode and I have only a Mac computer, no Windows and no Linux machines around. I read the threads and see every time the Windows tools, nothing for Mac. No root from SD card neither.
Any advice how to root using the Transformer itself or my Mac? And any advice regarding best JB ROM or at least best kernel for stock 4.0.3 ROM with exFAT support? I don't use NTFS because my Macs can't write on and old FAT16 has the famous 4 Gb limit, not good for the movies.
Many thanks in advance.

You could try and install Windows on your Mac to essentially have a dual boot of both OS's. Or you could use something like VMWare (I think that's what it is but I'm like 5% sure) which allows you to run windows without necessarily installing it. Anyway, I suggest, if you can, to go ahead and root your device and install a JB ROM like EOS or CM10 or something.

If it's not possible to do Android modifications on a Macintosh it looks like your only option would be to setup a dual boot with Linux to do your Android Rooting and ROM flashing since I would imagine you would want to avoid having to use Windows for this It would be better to avoid virtual machines to do device modifications and just stick to the dual boot option since support for USB devices is iffy in virtual machines.

Basically what Linux can to Mac OS X can do. At least regarding adb and the command line use. The problem is I have found tons of good information about how to do it using Windows, but nothing for Linux nor Mac.
OK, here is the answer. One can root the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 using Mac OS X only!
Developing in next message...

OK, here is the solution. :fingers-crossed:
First of all, I presume the Android SDK for Mac OS X is installed and upgraded.
Next, on the Transformer please go to Settings -> Developer options and activate the USB debugging. Finally, please check this forum thread and download the latest version of PERI. Yes, PERI for Windows 0.4 as of today. Please unzip the downloaded file.
No sorcery or black magic here, I've just learned from the bat file and tried to reproduce the whole procedure manually using adb.
Most Linux users will smile, but I will show the commands the way most Mac OS X user will need to input them. Basically, you don't really know that the shell path is and what "finally add adb to your path" means, right?
1. OK, please open the Finder and go to the directory where the adb executable lives. Something like ~/Downloads/android_sdk/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/.
2. Now please open the Terminal.app inside Application/Utilities folder and go to the same directory.
3. Please connect the Transformer to the Mac using the USB cable.
4. First of all, let's see if adb sees the Transformer. Please input
Code:
./adb devices
If everything is OK, you'll see something like this:
Code:
List of devices attached
024640c082db4561 device
5.
Code:
./adb push /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/OneclickrecoveryV0.4/recoveryblob /sdcard/
Basically you input ./adb push, drag the a.m. file and next input /sdcard/
6.
Code:
./adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
7.
Code:
./adb shell exit
8.
Code:
./adb shell ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
9.
Code:
./adb reboot
Wait while the Transformer reboots.
10.
Code:
./adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
11.
Code:
./adb shell exit
12.
Code:
./adb reboot
Wait while the Transformer reboots.
13.
Code:
./adb push /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/OneclickrecoveryV0.4/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip /sdcard/
See #5.
14.
Code:
./adb reboot
Wait while the Transformer reboots.
15. Now please shut down the Transformer manually and boot into recovery. Please hold Power + Volume Down buttons and next confirm with Volume Up button when asked. Rogue XM recovery will boot.
16. Wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, next choose Install zip file from internal storage and choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.
17. When it's done, reboot.
18. PROFIT. :good: Your device is rooted with Rogue XM recovery installed.
From there I suggest to install SuperSU and eventually SuperSU Pro as it seems to work better than Superuser and Superuser Elite respectively. You can eventually get rid of Superuser if you wish so, instructions available in this forum thread. As I own both SuperSU Pro and Superuser Elite, I've installed SuperSU and upgraded Superuser, just in case of. You should not mix them, though, thus I've revoked the root permission of Superuser.
Next I've installed Busybox. I don't know if it's the best version for TF101, works well on my GNote.
Finally, let's play with the recovery options courtesy of some awesome developers. :good: We can choose among Rogue XM Touch, CWM classic, CWM 6.x and official or modified TWRP. I've chosen the official TWRP with GooManager.
Next stop, Titanium Backup.
Should you have other recommendations, please do not hesitate.

Thanks a lot friend. I used the same procedure to root my TF101 using Ubuntu Are you using any Customised ROM ? I am using CM10 based ROM built by RaymanFX and it is simply awesome

Thanks, that worked nicely for me!
One thing I can't figure out yet, though, is how to do a backup - the microsd card doesn't mount at /sdcard/ and backing up to internal storage is not recommended...

Hi!
A linux only solution for B70(+) devices can be found here:
http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/
It is what I used twice so far. Works as it should.
I do not claim credit for anything! I just stumbled upon the solution.

Problem rooting
Hi,
this is my first post on XDA.
After a lot of readings here, I think I have tried everything I could, but my knowledge in rooting is too limited to understand these bugs:
At first, when I tried running these lines on the terminal, I couldn't push the files to /data/local: permission denied.
Then, I tried pushing to /sdcard/ and it worked.
But the next error I get is when linking:
"link failed Function not implemented"
Can you help me please?
My computer is a Mac, so I have tried you method first. I also tried on my Parallel Desktop with Windows 8 and on the PC with Windows 8.1 of my girlfriend, with RootDebugFs.
Here is the description of my Infinity pad:
model: ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Android: 4.2.1
Kernel: 3.1.10-g9827b9a, [email protected] #1
Build: JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.14.8
I had the build 14.10 but I found that I should downgrade to 14.8, so I did, but nothing changed.
I also unlocked my tablet by mistake, thinking it would help rooting.
Thanks for your help.
Best,
Yohan.

Just did this!!! Still works!!! Followed your steps. Now the recovery is TWRP 2.5!!! As the peri version changed I checked if the .bat was still doing the same things, and it is!!
Thanks for your tuto! Saved me some time installing W**** ...

There are two apps aimed at rooting Android devices: 'z4root' and 'superoneclick' but success with these is hit or miss. It's worth a shot

[ROOT] [HOWTO] aigoPad M60 rooting script + generic su + generic usb driver
Hi.
I owned several aigoPad M60 bought from all over (to say it have slightly different ICS 4.0.3 revisions) and some I actually got them revisions by sending to service centre and flashed to a newer firmware.
Nevertheless, all of them can be rooted using this script (for Windows, 380 KB).
I actually rooted a Kindle Fire HD first using this script found on some chinese site (sorry I already forgot where I did so please pardon me for lack of credits). I cleaned up and englicised the whole thing, and updated the ADB tools to greater (and more compatible) version. Actually most ICS root scripts found everywhere are more or less the same.
So far, devices tested and succeded:
- Amazon Kindle Fire HD (ICS version)
- aigoPad M60 (ICS)
- Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100 & GT-I9100G) ICS and Jellybean (works on mine, both phones and both 4.0.3 and 4.1.2)
- Chinese Samsung Galaxy SIII clone (can't explain much since it's a bootleg, it has MTK board) (ICS)
- Several other chinese tablets which somehow lose it's root or not rooted (ICS): Momo.cn 3G, AMPE, MaPaN. Sorry didn't remember it's exact models anymore.
This script contains a batch file, ADB exe file and two API libraries, and a generic su found in chinese tablets. The su works up to certain level but it is preferred to replace that with SuperSU from chainfire (Superuser from chainsdd didn't work well on these ICS chinese tablets, for me. Not sure about koushik's). Just install and when it asks to replace binary, choose normal and tap yes.
You have to have installed USB driver first. I have uploaded the compatible USB ADB driver for most chinese phones and tablets (8.5 MB, have to be split into x32 and x64 since the forum doesn't allow 8MB+ attachments, if you're not sure, download both and merge the folders, overwriting duplicate files).
Note: The driver works on Windows XP, 7 and 8. On Win 7 and 8 you will have to disable driver signature verify in order to install. (Win 7: Boot, F8, Disable signature. Win 8: Setting, Change PC Settings, General, Advanced Startup, look for Disable signature)
Those who already have ADB and drivers installed, here it is (simplified form of the actual script):
Windows (no need admin for ADB, just for driver installation):
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb kill-server
Linux:
Same
Tip: If you want to, you don't have to download anything. Just copy+paste the script. But make sure you have su in current directory. You can get chainfire's su from SuperSU.apk (assets\supersu.arm.png, rename it to su).
Careful though, this copy+paste script lacks safety measures compared to the one in the archive, such as it doesn't check if the rooting is a success or not, but the script inside archive will prompt you first before wiping /data/local/tmp ...
Note: What I mean by the su works 'up to certain level' is, it doesn't accept command lines such as su -c command. Also you will have to replace it with a proper superuser app (SuperSU, Superuser) if you want to use Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher and so on...

i juz purchase one for my kids to play games and i google on how to root the aigopad m60, it took me here.
Many thanks for the guide, i succesfully root it.

[Q] motochopper won't root

I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD and I ran the motochopper and it went through perfectly. Well, the first time it said failure because I already had superuser.apk, but then the second time I uninstalled SuperSU and cleared data for superuser and that time it went through without a hitch. But I'm not rooted and I don't know why.
I tried master resetting twice and I cleared the cache partition as well, but no luck. I can't seem to root my Razr Maxx HD since going to 4.1.2. Any ideas?

Hi Heather,
So you are trying to root using the motochopper utility released within the past couple of days, and it won't let you root? After completing a root, Have you opened SuperSU and tried downloading the new su binary before doing anything else?

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I tried with the new motochopper and it seems to work, at least based on the command prompt, but when the phone restarts, I do not have root. I opened SuperSU to download the new su binary and it says that SuperSU has been denied superuser permissions.

Alright Heather,
Here is what I want you to do.
I want you to move the motochopper utility into an easily accessible location, such as desktop, and (if you're running Windows), I want you to go through the following steps:
0) Make sure your phone is plugged in, with the latest Motorola Drivers installed, and with USB Debugging enabled.
1) Open command prompt as administrator
2) Type the following command (w/o quotes)
Windows 8/7/Vista: "cd \users\[account name]\desktop\motochopper"
Windows XP: "cd \documents and settings\[account name]\desktop\motochopper"
3) Type the following commands (w/o quotes)
Windows 8/7/Vista/XP:
"adb kill-server"
"adb wait-for-device"
"adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn"
"adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn"
"adb push su /data/local/tmp/su"
"adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox"
"adb install Superuser.apk"
"adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn"
"adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/pwn"
"adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/su"
"adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/busybox"
"adb reboot"
"adb kill-server"
All that is doing, is just manually doing the root exploit, as opposed to having the batch file do it.
Try this, and if it doesn't work, send me a PM. Good luck!

Very Similiar Issue

I'm having a very similar issue like this. My phone was rooted, then my software updated to 4.1.2 and now I'm no longer rooted. But the SuperSU is still on my phone. When I try to run it, I got the same thing Heather did. "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I did try rooting the phone again with motochopper, but when I do it says it failed because superuser.apk already exists and of course I can delete it. Is there any work around to fix this?

I just switched from the S3 to the MAXX HD and motochopper had no issues rooting.

Whats up Chris,
My utility is available for download, and it can fix your little problem. You will need to reflash your ROM, and reroot. Just use my utility, which I have linked in my Signature! If you want to keep userdata, while in the flashing process, when it asks if you want to erase userdata, just say no.
Cheers!

May I ask 1 more question. What exactly does reflashing the ROM mean? In your utility, is that #1 in the deluxe version or is that something I need to do on the device itself prior to rerooting the phone? Just want to make sure I understand exactly which option I should be choosing for that. Thanks again for all your help!

Hi again Chris,
Sorry for not being more specific the first time, but yes, choice number 1 in the main menu, and then there will be a subsection after that, where selecting 1 again would be your best bet. It provides instructions on how to load into fast boot, but I can give them to you here!
1) Power off your phone.
2) Hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up while holding down the Power button.
3) Eventually, a menu will appear, and you can let go of the buttons.
4) When this menu appears, press Volume down to scroll until you reach an option titled AP Fast boot, and press volume up to select.
5) Once you reach the AP fast boot section, just use the utility's built in features to reflash the ROM!
Good Luck Mate!

I wasn't being very specific in my previous post either.
Reflashing your ROM, means that you are basically just reinstalling the Operating System from scratch. In most cases, it will erase all the data on the phone in the process. By using my utility, Which you launch on your computer and run while the phone is plugged in with USB Debugging on, it will simplify the whole process for you, and makes it optional, but recommended to delete you user data. You will need to do this before you reroot your phone I'm afraid, but its an easy enough thing to do.
If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers!

I sort of can't believe this thread is from today. I have followed all of these instructions as I have had the same problems. When I try to use your utility to reflash my stock 4.1.2, it sends the files "OKAY" but fails to write, saying "no such partition". Can you shed any light on what might be wrong with my phone based on that?
EDIT: Compared to the version here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...otorola-droid-4-xt894-stock-windows-only.html that seems to work fine, you try to flash some extra files (slb1 sbl2 etc) that it seems not to like and aborts the process. I tried flashing everything but those but it gives me an error as well. Not sure how to get my root back but I have put a lot of effort at this point

Is there a way to get the utility another way? I have tried downloading it multiple times. Either the download just freezes at a certain % or it gets to 100% and nothing happens. My internet connection is fine though, so I am thinking it may have something to do with the site.

Hi,
The way mega works is different from a traditional download, where once it reaches 100%, it starts to "dump" the file, would probably be the best way to put it. It works great on the latest version of chrome, so I'm not sure what kind of trouble you're having...

same problem, any ideas?

i had the same issue.. i used motochopper and my phone was like "half rooted" only 2 app were given root accesss, i think the issue is the superuser app that comes with motochopper. i downloaded supersu from the playstore, it asked me to delete the other superuser app.. i did.. and now everything works fine.

Same Problem Droid Razr M
I am having the same problem but mine says that there is already the superuser.apk and after it says that it says failure. I'm new to rooting and want to root very badly.

Same here. Uninstall super user and then go to the play store and install the superuser app with a "pound" sign as its icon
