Anybody had any luck getting a superuser app to work on the Meep X2? I'm trying to move apps to the external SD card without any luck. I followed directions in the thread for the Meep, but they don't seem to work on the Meep 2. I've tried using the apps Superuser and SuperSU and then the Link2SD app, but it still cannot gain superuser access. I'm new to this so I don't know if I'm doing everything correctly. Supposedly the Meep is already rooted so nothing has been needed to be done on those, but I'm not sure about the Meep 2. How could I tell if it is rooted?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Did you have any luck rooting it? I also have one and it is not rooted. I also need to get link 2sd working. Thanks in advance.

Meep X2 Not Rooted
I know this is not much help, but, unfortunately, unlike the first Meep, the Meep X2 is not rooted. The apps you are trying to use, SuperSU and Link2SD, require a rooted device to work. No root, no work. The Meep X2 has an Amlogic AML 8726-MXS chip and uses Android Jelly Bean 4.2. Maybe a search on the 'Net will help you find a program or a way to root the Meep X2. Good luck!

I recently got a droid x2 and updated to the current system (2.3.3). I somehow still have the superuser icon but none of my apps TI back up, overclock, root explorer, and etc will not work. I tried using gingerbreak and cant root it. Z4 root says I can unroot for some reason when I know I dont have root.
Thanks for any help

thanks for the info sorry for a re-post then.
I rooted using the method here: [04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) - xda-developers
I was a Samsung Fascinate owner so this is not my first time rooting. Last night I purchased a video from the market and could not watch it bc I was rooted. Instead of downloading the apk which is supposed to work around this, I decided I would rather unroot. My purpose for rooting was to use free wifi tether which I hadn't gotten to work anyway.
So I used the unroot method found above and it does restart my phone but the Superuser app is still in my app drawer. I tried unrooting twice more: didn't work. So I tried to root again using the above process but unlike my first time where I received a conformation message, I received nothing and the cmd prompt actually closed.
Now, I have the superuser app in the drawer. I tried to use screenshot & a wifi tether app. They both told me I needed to be rooted to use them. I downloaded Linda file manager and looked in the system/apps and did not see superuser.apk there.
I found this and tried it as well: How to Unroot Droid Razr! | DroidRazrRoot.com. It did not help. At this point, I have no idea what to do.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You have the updated su from market, it doesn't mean you are still rooted, as your own tests have proved. Look in My Apps and uninstall the updated su. You're good.
That was exactly it! Thank you SO much!

Hi everyone,
I followed the instructions here: http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/01/02/nook-tablet-rooting-guide-complete-walkthrough-video/
to root my nook tablet. It seems to work. At the very least I am able to side load one of the apps I wanted, however, I am unable to install the google market or even find an apk for it along with some of the google apps. My nook settings say its version 9.9.9 now if that helps.
Is there something I can do to get the google market installed? Or is there a way to reset this back to stock and use a better method if that is a preferred way. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Or is my phone even rooted? I just tried busybox and it said I was not rooted...

It sounds like you're not rooted, but rooting isn't all that hard. Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487
Alternatively, if you've got an SD card and are interested, you can try this super easy method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
Both of those methods include gApps, if I'm not mistaken, which also means that they'll get the Android Market installed for you.

The Nook&Zergy zip file that is mentioned in the first link I believe is the same .zip I used when I followed the instructions for the other link I posted. It said it had the gApps but never installed them for some reason and I was never able to get them to install. It gave an error message instead. Everything else worked though.
Hey there, after reading this forum for awhile, I still haven´t managed to get a root on this device, tried framaroot, klingo root, iroot, and many more, i get the SuperSU app on the device but it doesn´t give root permissions to any other apps, have someone successfully root this tablet? or have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Kingo root
I found and downloaded "Kingo Root". I ran it from my PC with my Dragon Touch 10.1" A1X Plus connected and it says I'm ROOTED. I already had a root checking App on my tablet and it verified that I'm rooted. Later today I'll try some Apps that require root like Titanium Backup and some different games.
Kingo seemed pretty straightforward and user friendly but until I have time to do some testing I won't be able to completely vouch for this software. But, I didn't get anything weird on my PC nor tablet so far. I do have Avast running on my tablet and AVG running on my PC so I should be protected from malware and viruses. I suggest that everyone protect your devices prior to loading any software.
Kingo Root doesn't work!

After testing last night I found that Kingo Root doesn't truly root the Dragon Touch 10.1" A1X Plus. While for a short time my root checker did show that I was rooted, Titanium Backup and other apps were not able to gain root access. At one point I had to perform a soft reset to get off a blank screen. I have discovered that the ROM used for this build is from HTC so maybe the root software used for this should be something used for HTC phones and tablets. So, keep searching folks because Kingo Root is NOT the answer for root accesss...Sorry!
My grandmother just got a "Bright Tab" 10" tablet. As far as I can determine, the same generic Chinese company that makes the particular tablet that gets branded as Dragon Tab normally makes this. This appears to be an unbranded version of the exact same tablet (I think specifically for Walmart to reduce costs a bit. They also threw in a lovely malware called "Google 12.0" that shows annoying popup ads frequently and slows down the whole system...) I noticed it even had a "DragonFire" and "DragonPhone" app in there.
Anyway, I did get it rooted. First, KingoRoot seems to sort of temproot. However it does appear to have an actual writable system partition, not one of those read-only images with a hybrid overlay mounted on boot as many systems do. So here's what you do. Run KingoRoot's app to temproot. Install SuperSU or your favorite SU app from the play store and while temprooted, manually install the real SU app to /system via the settings. Then remove the KingoRoot stuff (disable the KingoApp app temporarily to stop it from trying to take over, then you can uninstall it using TitaniumBackup assuming all goes well.) After all of this I seem to have true root and can now install Greenify, Xposed Framework, and so on.
I was hoping to find at least a CWM/TWRP option for this thing (I know CyanogenMod or any other AOSP -- or even a cleaner more proper build based on the stock ROM -- is impossible, but at least a proper recovery would be nice.) So far no good though.

It appears that your method works. I was able to perform all of the steps except for the manual install of the SU app into the /system. But all of the apps that I've tried that require root access are working. I'm still evaluating the outcome but so far so good.
Glad to hear it worked at all. Maybe try again after a reboot now that the alternate SU app has taken over? Oh, I think I had actually run Kingoroot first before running the alternate app. Since it's a temp root you have to rerun it every startup until you get the alternate installed into the system I guess.
My grandmother finally listened to me and will probably be taking that tablet back now, so I can't really mess around with it anymore to give any specifics. I convinced her to get something else that I think will make her a true Android convert instead of just wanting some little side thing for reading only, so one way or the other that thing is probably going to go, lol.

I just spent a couple hours trying both the iRoot and KingoRoot methods on a TabletExpress Dragon Touch M8 with Android 5.0 without success. I got to the point where I could open SuperSU, but then SuperSU wanted to update the binary and failed. I tried the KingoRoot tethered and apk installations. I tried using KingoRoot's Superuser App. Nothing worked. And Cyanogenmod is still a no-go.
Did you get kinguser? Or did you install supersu?

I think i found a solution after messing with my dragon touch m8... use iroot and make sure when you connect the m8 to your computer you have the usb debugging checked...unlock the screen before you plug it in and when iroot reads it you should see a pop up on the screen click ok and click reconnect it worked for me
if all else fails check out my video

So, I've tried probably EVERY method for root. I've used iRoot, King Root, Kingo Root, Towel Root, etc. and none of them have worked. Has anyone found out how to root this tablet?
I'm just commenting because ive been trying the same. I'd like to know an answer also.
I'm also looking for a root method. It's very worth it.
I have tried to root my tablet also and cannot find a way to do it. Please, someone help to root the DL718M
I've got root
So there is another thread here on XDA where another user was able to get root with KingRoot apk one click root v 4.8.2 that you can get by searching for it here on XDA. I was also successfully able to root the device and also switched to SuperSu instead of the KingRoot app as it is kind of notorious for being a bit shady. This was done with the app SuperSu me pro from the playstore. It was all fairly easy to do. Only thing is I can't figure out how to get custom recovery and or Xposed framework to work. But all other root apps work such as changing font, root explorers, etc.
I've done exactly that without any success. I've tried KingRoot versions 4.8.2, 4.8.5, and 4.9.0.
I have the same build, kernel and model, and I've turned on Debugging and turned off "Warn about potentially harmful apps". I have tried each version of K.R. 5 time each without any success. Any tips?
Didn't work for me...

I've tried with KingRoot as well, but so far, no luck with it on this device. Worked great to root two of my other devices, tho.
Is there any easy way to root this, preferably without pc?
