How to root Asus Padfone Mini 7?
I already examine Vroot and Asus Padfone2 root metod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135735) they didn't work.
I can not install programs on sdcard and many programs like titanium backup doesn't work

Try Framaroot, maybe this oneclick tool works for you. You can find it here on xda.

didn't work either
Why this device doesn't root yet?! I mean this is xda forum! the best professional forum about these issues... how there isn't any method?!

Can't find anything to root the device yet...

Yeah, it is quite annoying, but would not try to mess with it without an expert advice.Hopefully someone gets it done.Please report here if some news.

I'm considering to sell the device, no update no root tool...

They say it is the same phone as zenfone, there is root tool for zenfone on this forum, but checks the version and tells you it is for zenfone only.Now maybe if the dev has removed the check, i would try it.

Rootkit from zenfone4
Hello
I've receive the new padfone mini last week (intel version 4").
During update (without rootkit !) to the official update Asus, i've softbrick the device.
They are no recovery mode in the droidboot menu (possible to edit in xml file ?)
Only the fastboot menu is ok (no the adb).
OEM unlock in not supported.
conclusion : brick and no CWM or TWRP recovery/boot available
Test with many files from Zenfone4, but signKey not good and i don't know how change key and rebuild the .img
i can't test this APK rootkit before bricking my device ... search over the asus-zenfone.com rootzenfone-144r-apk
may be compatible with Mini ?
Waiting feedback to test all solutions

In snapdragon T00c version you can choose the rom update from sdcard, in stock recovery menu, i downgraded successfully from asus stock rom. Now if only someone has moded the rom to be rooted, then we would see the light

Hey, great news. Just trying it myself, but it seems to go "downloading requisite dependency files, waiting for device, checking root status" in loop for some time now. Is there anything i have missed. Which version of rom do you have ? I have 10.14.6.61 latest. Thanks for any help.

I've rooted and unrooted a bit for testing,so make sure to plug the phone without the station,don't update the firmware at the recent 10.14.6.65 only the .61 works,the weirdest part is that you have to try a bit of time,continue trying until it works if the phone reboots during the proces a good sign.
