Succesfully run root, but got permisson deny when type su on Iconia A1
Hi,
I used your 0.7.0 (and 0.6.3) root tools and tried to root my Iconia A1.
I had tried Linux (root from scratch method) and Windows root method, the results are the same. All said successfully rooted after finish execution those root tools.
But actually My Iconia A1 can not execute su when I go into shell. (I use adb shell to verify su succeed or not).
The message from shell console shows permission denied.
Is there any steps missed from me?

same here
I had the same prob with my asus.
And still get no solution.
One time the root tool v31 worked, but only Wirth the imfo su is old. Open the supersu and i get the Info that is not possible. Still no root.

a1 811
I have the A1 811 Version and also looking for root.
This tab has a MTK chipset, so i looked at many China Forums and get many root Tools.
But no success. I dont know why. The Ainol 828 has the same chipset. If someone had more luck than i had.

If you have a MT65XX CPU then I can help you root it. Download and install the tool from first post of this link then run it, it will tell you which MT65XX CPU you have and then we can get you rooted from there. You will need ADB drivers for MTK Droid Tools to work but I have them also if you need them.

Actually since you have a MT6589, you may be in luck and be able to root your device rather quickly. Go to this link and download Motochopper, I know it is from Galaxy S4 thread but it wrks on a number of devices. Make sure you have drivers installed and USB debugging enabled in settings. (If you need help installing drivers you can get them from here: http://www.snappea.com/ )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
If this by chance does not work on your device, let me know and there is another quick root method we can try before having to go the long route and pull the stock recovery to gain root.
Good luck!

So do you have working drivers now? Also, do you have USB debugging enabled on the device? Once you get drivers working I know of a few other root program you can use.
Once drivers are working you can use this most likely:

You do not get a pop up from chinese app when you try to update binary? If so make sure you hit the right hand button. IF not pop up, go into the chinese root app and tap the last choice (I think it says root in the title) then it should show you a list of apps that asked for root access, check to make sure SuperSU did not get denied first. If that still wont work we will move on to the harder root method if you like.

I see the list of apps with a blue switch on right side.
But still no su install possible. Root tools and mobile uncle said no root.
IS this possible that this tool put the binary in a wrong place?
And yes, i want to heck this thing. So harder way are welcome. -

Try this:
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
Download Impactor. Extract the files then run the Impactor application. When it opens make sure device is connected to PC and USB debugging is enabled. Then just hit start button. As long as you dont get a fail message try installing SuperSU from Play Store after wards and see if it lets you update bainry now.
If that dont work either I have one more program we can try before we take the long route. Finally try the MTK root all zip I have attached. Let me know how it goes please.
