I'd like to know the answer to this too. I picked up a cheap Zeki TBDG773B for my kid and I wanted to root it to remove ads. I've tried the universal root using that sucky Moborobo program for ADB and nothing is working. I've tried an update.zip for a different zeki model and nothing.
Anyone find anything on this tablet? I've noticed other models are rooted out of the box. Tried installing su and it didn't work.
I'd like to know as well.
I did mine successfully with motochopper, search for it in here. Even though it says its for Motorola/Qualcomm it works on this tablet too. I've had zero luck finding any alternative roms though.

Hey, could you post a link for the motochopper root you used. The only one I can find is for the Galaxy S4.

I tried this method and couldn't get it to take. I even used generic Google adb driver. Just wouldn't work
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I don't think anyone knows. I emailed Zeki myself asking for drivers for the tablet. They said it's a plug and play device so no need (besides the point that it doesn't see my tab when I do...). Also, I need to root to rid myself of this so called 8gb storage of fail.
Sent from my TBDG773 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I actually called them and asked for them to email me a root/update zip. It took awhile to get them to understand what I wanted. They kept asking why, lol. I'll call the back this afternoon and give you folks the skinny on what they said.

OK, I rooted this thing in about five minutes-
- Download "Cydia Impactor" on to you computer.
- plug in your tablet to your cpu(turned on)
-run the program to install su on system/bin.
-DL Super su from play store.
- That should be it.
- I take no credit or any blame for your results, but hay it worked for me.

When you plug in your tablet it should down load the drive automatically. Go into about phone, click on the build number 7 times. This should open developer options in the previous menu. Go into developer options and enable USB. Have you done this yet?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If you have enabled USB and it still won't work then its something else. Possibilities are the actual USB cord ( try using a different one) or the USB slot ( try using one of the others if you have any). What Zeki means by "plug and play" is once you plug tour tablet into the USB slot it will start to download the driver automatically. I have always been able to do this, however when booted into adb mode the driver wouldn't work. For this method however, there is no need to boot into adb. Just leave it on as is.

I remember typing about 15 lines of complicated commands on a pc then opening an emulator on the phone and typing another batch of lines using the tiny keyboard. One typing error and you start all over (if lucky) or your phone was bricked.
Flashing a kernel is one click and the other clicks are just the warm up.

Every custom rom in the dev section is already rooted.
Edit: I didnt see the part about stock ICS sorry. I think your best bet would be to flash CWM and then install a stock rooted rom.
Going to have to agree with the flashing cwm. Its a 2 clicks and a file select on the computer. You can find everything in development here. Download it through phone to save some unwanted clicks.

So, I forgot last night.. you ever done that? I had been bouncing my 9week old daughter for a while and at 12:30am I finally got her to go to sleep. I was playing with my phone... I opened GooManager, and told it to install T.W.R.P. on my Galaxy Note 2 (i605 Verizon Wireless)
But I didn't realize that i had forgotten to unlock the boot loader after last weekend's Rom-a-thon (I put 5 ROMs on my phone then wen't back to stock, then rooted).
Given that I was not un-locked..... My phone went into the Yellow Caution symbol and told me that I had to go to a VZW store, (lol, yeah right!). So I took my phone to my laptop (Dell E4310) on Win8 x64 Ent, Odin3 v3.07 did not see my phone!!! Then to Win 7 x64 Ent, Dual booted dell... FAIL!!! And then to my MSI GX720 Win 7 x64 Pro, FAIL!!
Ok, time to ask the world! I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there with advice please let me know. If i get a solution I will post the steps below...
I went through all the threads i could find about this idea but not actually speaking to this problem. If you know of a solution in another thread please post it here.

It doesn't start to flash because it does not see that i have the device connected, Gets to download mode no issues.
Do you have all the drivers installes? And I know some phones are picky on the cables. So you should be using the factory cable. Aslo try other usb ports.

I do not have the factory cable.. .that disappeared quite a while ago.. I have the drivers installed, and know all of my setup "works" because i am using the same setup i used to do this process the first time, and i have connected this phone to all of my machines with no issues before.

WAAA HOO!!!!!
I am tech support at my job (I work for EarthNetworks/WeatherBug as internal support). I call it MIS proximity, as soon as one of my co-workers breaks down and asks for help their computer starts working... guess i get a taste of that myself today.
Thanks guys for the help.
Wish I could tell the others going to read this that there was a real answer here. But all I did was keep trying different cables/USB ports/restart (oh and hear my gorgeous wife's voice
Kindest regards,
DaCracken!
Yes, this is a general title, but they only allow me to put so much. I am new to the forum, so please bear with me.
Here's the problem: I connect my phone to my computer and either the driver fails (Samsung USB Composite or MTP) or my computer (finally) recognizes my phone, installs drivers correctly, but when I go to look for files, nothing shows up.
What I've done:
-I'm using the original USB cable that came with my phone and it charges fine
-I've plugged it into all available USB ports
-I've restarted the phone numerous times, taken out the SD card and the SIM card with no luck
-I've uninstalled the Samsung drivers and done the same
-I'm running stock ROM, even flash reset a couple times with the same problem
-I'm running the latest software from Verizon
-I've tried switching USB debugging on and off, only gives me further errors such as that the phone can't recognize the system I'm running with my computer being unable to install the drivers correctly
I have a hunch that the Micro USB input from the phone may be to blame, but I'd like to get an opinion from the forum before I decide to send it to the store to get it replaced or fixed. It also could be just a bad ROM flash, but again I'd like to get an opinion before I absolutely have to do so.
EDIT: I apologize, I'm running Windows 7 by the way.
i am going though this right now too. I just stopped working tonight worked for the past 3 days
When mtp is the problem I've yet to find and answer. It's something to do with your computer I just can't recall right now. I researched it once because I had a that sane problem. Never did fix it. If they are both on a wifi network you can use airdroid it works great, that's what I ended up doing.

It could just be the latest firmware. It's still a new phone, and I'm sure Samsung/Verizon haven't fixed all the bugs yet. What OS do you run? I run W7, but it's dual booted on my iMac, and the Mac side doesn't work either.

What I have: I have a Sprint Note 3. Model number SM-N900P.. It's flashed to some prepaid company called Red Pocket. I went to this company from PrePayd Wireless but Sprint cut them off and even though they PrePayd found out this information on the Feb 14th but they decided not to tell their customers like myself until the minute before Sprint pulled the plug and my number was trashed with no way of getting it back. This lost me a lot of money smh (I apologize for ranting)
What my goal is: I just want to root the phone so that I can flash CWM or TWRP and get CM Kitkat on the device.
What my problem is: I can not get the device root.. I believe this could be because i can not get my device to give me the MTP option.
What have I tried: I've tried using Orin with CF Root and I use Odin with a CWM and a TWRP .tar . I was going to add the SS. All of this resulted in me rooting my phone in recovery and it giving me the dead android guy. Its like it wont stick to the phone.
I tried Kingo Root and one click as well and its saying that. Kingo said its not connected.
One Click Root cant even detect my phone is plugged in.
Kies says its not compatible and it downloads Kies 3.
Kies 3 just sits on a screen that says my phone needs to be in MTP mode.
I have installed the Samsung drivers. I even installed a brand new copy of windows 7 ultimate on a brand new hard drive just so i could start from scratch with the drivers because my other hard drive wouldn't even recognize the phone. This one is recognizing the phone and I re-installed the driver thru Kies and they all installed. I don't know what else to do. Please help.
I apologize if this was on another thread i search kind of hard for this problem before i made a new post
