I have searched around but cannot find any forum posts relating to this tablet.
I just picked up a Viewsonic Viewpad e100 tablet and would like to root this thing.
It is running ICS 4.0.3 and i believe its a bit branded/customized from viewsonic.
I am still a bit new to rooting and i have tried a few tools out there but nothing seems to work.
I have tried superoneclick and it appears to randomly say its rooted but fails on copying stuff.
It will say its rooted but it isnt. then i run it again and it says it isnt rooted and attempts it. it just seems like its random.
Ran through a few scripts I found on other forums relationg to the viewpad 10e and 7 but it seems like the folder structure may be a bit different.
But, my experience in linux is minimal so ya...there it is.
Can one of you awesome gurus here help me out at all?
Hi, give this a try. It's meant to be able to root almost all 4.0 devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Well, I have tried it and it said it was successful but its not. I try to run root app delete and it says it has no root access. I think it may be due to the system/xbin not being writable. SOClick tries to mkdir in there but fails. any ideas?
I have reset to factory defaults several times and tried again but no luck.
ehhh. appreciate your help.

Alright i bought a new Tablet Videocon VT71, running on Andriod 4.0.3. I was kind of trying to root and upgrade android as the provider didn't had any update on their end. After 2 days of continues searching and trial and error every method i can find. I could not root my device. I tried rooting it with one click root which gave me ADB error despite i have ADB installed on my pc (i checked it).
Will someone be generous enough and help this noob out. As i am struck with this.
I'm not quite sure but I have never been able to get this tablet rooted. To be clear, this is the HC version (IT2 I guess), running 2.4.81
For starters I would just like to do it the easy way and get SDE on there, the way it's described here and on the Archos site. But every time I've copied the file over it just gives me "update failed (1)". I've now tried every conceivable combination of cable pulling, unmounting, waiting, different files,... the outcome is exactly the same.
I didn't see this problem mentioned anywhere so I was wondering if anyone experienced this or could point me to the most painfree way of finally rooting this tablet?
Thx in advance.
Hello all,
I am a total newbie with mobile technologies, but know my way around a linux-box alright.
I just got a Samsung Rugby Pro through an upgrade at ATT.
My goal is to run Ubuntu touch as my main OS. I know some people think this is a silly aim, but its my money, so for the sake of simplicity, can we just agree that it is a goal?
I have been doing every backflip I can find to root this thing. Or flash it. Or do whatever is necessary to enable fastboot via the linux terminal.
The adb install I have works just fine (i.e. it detects, can restart it, etc). I have tried messing with the 51/71/99 android.rules in udev many, many times. Fastboot will not recognize the device. I have loaded the device into the bootloader screen various ways (via adb, via volumedown+home+power before and after plugging it in) ; no luck.
I figured it may be because the phone isn't rooted. This has led for my current root quest.
Using linux, and not having current access to any other OS's, I haven't been able to use Odin, or any of the other (likely scan) knock-offs. I have heimdall installed, and for the bloody life of me, though it says its working, even when the phone is in boot-loader, it doesn't do anything once the b*stard restarts.
I have tried downloading what feels like a hundered update.zip scrips, cwm.zip's...etc, etc. No luck! Whenever I try to install the update from the SD, it says there is an error in verification. As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to do it during normal operation; not that that would particularly help.
I have also tried a zRoot application, and a host of others...most of which all require root access?
Perhaps this is a simple deficiency in my understanding of this whole process, but there seems to be a bit of a loop of which one is needed first; root or cwm. I am spinning round and round; my cat is looking at my chain smoking funny and my gf says I stink.
So here I come to you all. How the hell's this done? If anyone has successfully rooted the Rugby pro on linux, I would be eternally greatful for the help. If you know how to go all the way to ubuntu-touch, you will have a cat and a lovely lady also eternally greatful.
Please...help.
I have an Azpen A1040, I am fairly new to tablets altogether.
I was trying to use the complete linux installer app to see if I could run Ubuntu on my tablet.
Well, that requires root. I have tried a few things with no success.
But the last one I tried was Vroot, it did NOT root the tablet, but yet, now Vroot is on there and I can not remove it even after doing a Facotry Reset.
I uninstalled Vroot when it didnt work, but then I did a factory reset and noticed there is an icon that looks like the vroot icon but all the text is in chinese.
I dont really need to run linux or root priveleges that bad, but now it bugs me that the vroot app is still there. What is it doing. Is it hurting anything?
Is there an easy way to get rid of it?
The specs of the tablet from the side of the box are
Azpen A1040 10.1" Quad Core Tablet
CPU MT8127 Quad Core Cortex A7
Running Android KitKat 4.4.2
You can find web specs for it at azpenpc.com
I can go in to running apps and do a force stop and disable on the chinese vroot, but I just dont want it to cause spyware or anything else.
Not even sure this is the right forum to post in, but I figure someone will point me in the right direction I hope.
Thanks
Rick (A total tablet newbie) haha

Hi Rick, did you figure out how to root this device? I have been struggling for days trying to find a root utility. Thanks!
I'm not doing what you are attempting but.
I found a couple of potential options. That worked for the limited things I was doing.
Cyanogen rooting appeared to work, though it won't allow installation of custom roms since there currently is no support.
Kingoapp I found on CNet, though I don't have any experience with it, it appeared to successfully root the device.
I would have added links but currenlty it appears I'm not allowed to. Google is your friend.

Hello there! Today I tried to root my tablet, but I couldnt. And by saying this, I mean that i tried almost everything i could find, from many one click apps and PC programs to Acer Iconia Toolkit. Also I have tried manual rooting, with first unlocking the booter, and then installing SuperSU.Update from CWM, but it gave an error. Some of the app programs said that the device is successfully rooted, but Check Root didnt. The toolkit gives me 'couldnt connect' error and suggesting I turn on usb debbuging, although I had it on. I tried with TWRP, but the device is not supported. The only thing i found but dont wanna try is all data clear, go back to 4.2 version, root, disable root, upgrade, enable root. But i loose my data in the process. I have been on this for like 5-6 hours already and cant figure it out. Can anyone help me? I would be really gratefull if so.
Device: Acer Iconia A1-810 with Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
