downloaded all the stuff from the thread. everything went smoothly. i watched the video step by step. after uploading the usbdrivers to my NT it said
"Android ADB interface" instead of "android composite ADB interface"
it shows up in my device manager as a nook tablet still.
i derped. so i thought it would be ok anyways and then tried to zerg rush the baster-ahem NT only to see that the Zerg didn't even find my device.
i promptly decided to just wipe everything from my nook and start fresh but also every single thing i tried has failed to get rid of that blasted "android ADB device" from the one click unroot thing to doing a 8 step reset thingy and just plainly reset and wipe data from the stock settings, and now many hours later i have had enough and decided to swallow my pride and flaunt the noob card. i need help. i must find a way to wipe everything or maybe i can take a step from here. i dunno. derpy derp.

hm... well not sure if this is hidden anywhere in your description but did you try reinstalling the nook tablet drivers? since you have android adb device right now, uninstall that and if windows prompts you to restart you should do that. When you uninstall the adb drivers if there is a checkbox saying delete driver software for this device make sure to check that as well. basically what i am trying to say is you want to start fresh as in there should not be any reference to android or nook on your windows pc
another program that may be helpful is using usbdreview which is a program that monitors all devices with usb drivers. this may help is attempting to delete any reference to android and nook on your windows pc. hope this helps!
EDIT: just to add this tidbit in, if your having troubles with ADB, chances are it has nothing to do with your NT but rather with the drivers that Windows has installed already. There's a guide to installing ADB correctly, here's a link:

hm.. well if it keeps on auto installing generic drivers you will need to disable auto installation of drivers by windows. try looking through each of these links and see if it solves your problem. fyi you should uninstall all drivers relating to android and nook before proceeding

well this is weird one atleast for me. i had all those settings on at the very start of the rooting process. and in the end i need to enable in the system config the USER to override the automatic driver install policy. so my anti install was thwarting me this entire time!!! ugh!!! total noob but we all gotta start somewhere. thanks to everyone for helping me out!
I have a Pantech Pocket P9060 that I'd like to root so I can get rid of all the crapware that was pre-installed.
I've found talk of using SuperOneClick, and downloaded version 2.3.3.0.
I've found exactly ZERO documentation on how to use it. The blog on it talks about a readme - but there is no such file.
I'm running Win 7, and have written programs for my Android phone, and debugged on it, so I'm pretty sure any needed drivers are installed.
Using the "Advanced" tab, "Check Drivers" does absolutely nothing.
On the "General" tab, "Root" does
Killing ADB Server
Starting ADB Server - which reports the daemon started successfully.and that is all. It's hung at that point.
Any suggestions?
You need to run the Superoneclick app as Administrator. That should solve the issue
first off I would like to say sorry if this is in the wrong area but since I am a new member the boards are not allowing me to post a reply for technical support in the respective thread that it belongs.
this post is in regards to Dan Rosenberg's one click root for droid attix, droid RAZR, etc...
it can be found HERE
I tried rooting my phone but it failed at installing root. it installed the su.apk but when I run the program after my phone restarted it sends a message about not having any binaries and it cannot download any. on further examination to check if my phone had been rooted I found out it had not been rooted. so some technical stuff about my phone and PC and methods I had tried.
phone:
USB debugging is enabled.
Motorola Droid RAZR M
jellybean 4.1.2
phone USB connection set to MTP
PC:
Windows XP
Motorola droid USB driver package installed(variation tried clockwork USB driver package)
windows media player 11 installed
no firewalls or virus protection installed windows firewall disabled
there is not much else I can explain besides the fact everything went well and it installed SU but in the .bat it said failed after it said rooting.
I wonder if there is something I'm missing or a step I missed any support or recomendations are welcome and supported I am willing to work with you to get a solution.
thanks and much love to you at xda.
the error it seems I'm getting is that adb may not be working or it might be another issue? its failing to copy files and failing to find directorys on the phone
Its finally here guys, the moment you've been waiting for, ROOT for the Lenovo Tab S8-50. To Root Your Device, All you have to do is enable developer options/mode by tapping on your build number multiple times. Then navigate to Developer Options and make sure you enable USB Debugging or else your PC wont recognize the tablet. Make sure that you have Installed the proper ADB drivers for your device and its Drivers.
Requirements and conditions:
1-Make sure that your computer is not connected to other Android devices
2-Make sure that you have installed the ADB drivers for S8-50 tablet
3-Make sure that the machine is turned on USB debugging
4-Connect the device to your computer via USB
5-Download the below attached file, extract it, and run the program
6-If all the conditions and requirements are met, after working program closes automatically, the device will reboot automatically and will appear on the unit program SuperSU .
Download Links will be provided at the end of this post ! I/we are not responsible for any harm or damage done to your device during the process of rooting it. If it fails and bricks, that's your fault. I've successfully rooted mine and it was easy.
If you get an error during the rooting process that said "adb server is out of date killing adb server didn't ack" or something like that, there is a way to fix it. Open Task Manager on your PC and try closing adb.exe and restarting it, or just Google the error and you will most likely find a way.

Do this root apply to the s8-50F ?
EDIT: This method indeed does work on the S8-50F variant. Was having problems with device staying in adb while running program, but a reboot of pc fixed that and gained root effortlessly. THanks!
Glad It Helped !!!

The download isn't working for me. It's not downloading as a zip? Any suggestions?
If youre using windows, download a program called 7-zip and downoad the file. right click the root software and click extract here. or open with 7-zip. You could also use winrar. The format of the file is in .7z right ? that means search up http://www.7-zip.org/
Any idea how to unroot?
Not sure. Have you tried the full unroot method in the su app?

Thanks both of you. I ended up returning it, root and all, but I'm sure your suggestion would have worked.
After rooting, has there been anything anybody's been able to do about battery life? I don't imagine there's been any Roms built for this device yet, but didn't know if maybe someone's figured out something that's helped extend their battery life, because when playing certain games like clash of clans for instance, I'm lucky to get an hour and a half of game play, and that's with my brightness turned all the way down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This root guide works on s8-50f! thanks Xakep
This is a very easy and usefull root instruction, i rooted my tab s8-50f with no problems.
I followed the steps described and got instant root without any issues.
My machin is windows pc with windows 8.1 pro 32bit. Plug your tab and windows recognized the drivers just make sure your device mngr shows lenovo s850 and you are all set. Then just run the flash tool and it will run in less than a minute your tablet will reboot and your tab will be rooted.
Yes this is probably the easiest I've ever rooted any device in the past. If at first it doesn't take, don't worry it will. Just repeat the process till it does. Thanks Hash.h for putting up this thread and passing along the info

Where can I download the ADB drivers for S8-50 from?
I think drivers come with tablet. Try to connect the tablet and it will show CD drive on which is the driver.
error: device offline?
I followed this with no luck. I have adb installed and running "adb devices" shows the tab connected, but when I run the tool "error: device offline" scrolls repeatedly and no root.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Worked great. Thank you.
Awesome little tablet.

Tried on another computer and succeeded.
This worked brilliantly...
but then I upgraded my firmware using the in-built system and it de-rooted. Now the exe no longer works.
New firmware is S8-50F_S000200_150121_ROW
Exe -appears- to run well, but appears to fail on the last command. Unfortunately it disappears off the screen before I can check the exact nature of the error. It appears to go fine until the final attempt to copy the SU binary into place fails with a 'File not found' error.
I've also tried the other method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-lenovo-s850-row-t2927400
The flashtool fails to find the device (I know the drivers are installed), so I'm unable to install the new boot image.
ADB shell fails
mount -o remount,rw /system
with the response
mount: Operation not permitted
so none of the 'push' operations will complete as the /system folder is read-only.
Any suggestions?

Same problem here. Lost root after the last update and now I can't get either root method to work.
Hi, I'm new to the N9, have had the tablet about a week. I have tried connecting it to my windows 7 Pc and the N9 isn't recognized. I have tried all the basics, all drivers are current, set tablet to mtp, and not found. I have connected to a friend's Windows 10 PC and the N9 is found immediately. My N9 is a wifi only device, non rooted. I have 2 other Android devices that my W7 PC finds with no issue. Anyone else experience this, and or have any suggestions on how to fix this issue ? Not looking to root at this point. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated
I think there are many threads about this problem. Nexus Root Toolkit has a driver installation feature.
If you were starting from scratch I'd delete any unknown "tablet/usb" devices in Device Manager - look for the also delete drivers option.
Google's W7 installation instructions are here http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Win7
On this page http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html is a link to download a zip file of the drivers (not the full SDK package) Click here to download the latest Google USB Driver ZIP file.
This software http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html is possibly better than device manager in deleting drivers
In some cases, you need to enable ADB on your N9 before plugging it into your PC (Settings -> Developer Options -> Android Debugging).

Thank you for your help, I had already tried all of this, but tried once more in case a step was missed. Every other Android device I have, or had never gave me an issue like this. The 2 android phones I have connect to pc without a problem, I am at a loss, lol.
When deleting drivers, should I have deleted all drivers for all devices, or just the ones installed from N9 ? Thanks again for your help

I've not got access to a Windows 7 PC. Does this page help http://www.topnotchtablets.com/FixUSBproblems
A basic one. I don't think it's relevant until you have a connection. Do you know that the N9 USB connection defaults to "charging only" and you need to pull down the notification menu to enable MTP to see the device contents
In USBDeview
Expand the window there are a lot more columns
There is a "connected" y/n column. I'm not certain that this works as expected, I can connect a tablet and despite an F5 refresh or a restart of the program it will stay a "No"
Look at the VendorId column AFAIK everything Google Nexus related has an ID of "18D1"
Have tried to establish what, if anything pops up in Device Manager when you plug in the N9 so you can disable it? Nirsoft have a program http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html that gives a table view of all devices - no clicking to expand trees

Thank you for your help I greatly appreciated it. After trying pretty much everything, I decided to see if the ruu's for my two phones would run on W10. They did, so I then proceeded to update my W7 to W10. N9 communicates perfectly now with my PC. Thank you
