Hello all,
I am newbie to this forum and also newbie to Android.
I recently got myself an ASUS Memo Pad tablet and I want to root it.
I did some searching and reading on the subject and I found some info about
Towelroot, superSU, CPU-Z, root checker, brick, app ops, etc'.
But I did not find any specific information about rooting the ASUS MemoPad 8" 4.4.2 .
Did anybody ever rooted this device ?
Can somebody direct me to a tool that can root this tablet ?
I want to root this tablet for two reasons:
- To enable me to install apps on the microSD card .
- To prevent apps from collecting data.
I would also appreciate it if anybody tell me about other advantages of a rooted Android device.
Here's the info:
ASUS Memo Pad 8"
Model Number: K011
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel version date: Friday June 20th 2014
Processor: Intel ATOM
Architecture: X86
4 cores
Any help appreciated.

Well while I don't know how to root your tab, I can answer your other question. There are many benefits, and a couple of drawbacks. With root, you gain full read-write access to your device, which has many uses. For example you can set custom CPU clocks (to increase performance or save battery), you can remove bloatware apps which can also increase performance and save storage. Then there's adfree to block adds, you can get an app for permission management to increase security as well as firewall apps. You can also install UI mods and better customize the tablet to your liking. Finally there's the possibility of a custom recovery and ROMs like CyanogenMod. The downside is that if you fiddle too much and break something the tablet might not boot. And of course there's the problem of giving su access to a malicious app that can steal data, drain battery, slow down the system or just plain make your tablet unbootable. All in all, it's a good thing, just be careful.
Thanks neroTNS.
I guess I'll wait for more answers.

Roots for K011
I know what you mean by rooting. It seems like an impossible task. One good thing about this tab though is once rooted, IT KEEPS ITS ROOT! I rooted mine and 3 updates were done, all updates keeping the root. Asus does have an app called root.apk that you can install. There is also Kingo Root which requires you go into developer mode and turn on USB Debugging. The root.apk is hard to find, but Kingo Root is easy to find and fairly simple to use as long as you have an open USB port on your computer.
Hope that helps.

hello,
i recently bought a cheap irulu tablet off ebay. it's running 4.2.2, and i'm not quite sure if it's rooted or not. i've read that most of their tablets are rooted right out of the box, so i downloaded 4 or 5 root checkers from the marketplace and some said it was rooted and some said it was not. i know that it does have su and busybox installed, but i don't have one of those superuser apps that request permission or anything. i can browse my full phone with any file explorer. i installed titanium backup, and it says on the main screen that root access is ok, but then it will pop up an error message that says:
BusyBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root. There's something wrong with your "su" binary and/or "Superuser" app.
can anyone help me? i tried installed a superuser app to see if that helped, but it didn't.
anybody? *chirp chirp*
heh im guessing no one is rooting this tablets
I just bought My lil brother one of this Irulu's ones and i guess he's gonna stay Stock Xp

We cant give up that easy my friend ....
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to make any progress with this? I recently bought an Irulu ax105 tablet running 4.2.2 and I'm having the same issues as the opening post. At first glance the tablet appears to be rooted, but I get that same message in titanium backup. Root Checker says that the device is rooted, but Busybox won't work because it says that the installer hasn't got root access. I also can't update the binaries in superuser because root access fails. Seems like it's not properly rooted.
Thanks.
I have a irulu that also said it was rooted. Installed su just fine. Was wondering about a recovery or ROM. Mine is 4.0.4. Tablet PC.

Custom rom already probably not. Somebody has to make one. There is a lot a rom can give but for myself I only need a custom rom to remove everything i dont need or wanna spend hours removing within the 4.2.2. These chinese tablets usually come with only the bare essentials installed. I would suggest gaining root and having fun optimizing it yourself. The first step when I go about creating a rom is getting jellybean just the way i want it without anything like games or useless apps. Then dumping your system and creating a base rom from what you got. Then you can remove the unnecessary, add any compatible extras...repack and install. Make it generic but original and youve got something you can adfly for any others on your model of tablet. You get some cash and the satisfaction that youve helped others with the ability for a custom roms. Thats all the easy parts unfortunately though. I doubt i should delve into that. Its possible you may get a recovery for another like tablet to work.
As for root thats easy. I chose to use Bin4rys tool. Google bin4ry and root restore its should be relatively easy with the correct adb drivers. I have 2 chinese tablets, one a quantum axis 7" and an irulu ak303 7". Aside from the fact that the irulu is pink and doesnt sport an hdmi out or rear camera, and uses a rockchip....they are identical in almost every way down to hardware. The adb drivers for the quantum installed via vista online as soon as i plugged it in, however I had to go to the www(.)irulu(.)net for the other. Then it was just down to starting up bin4rys progger and selecting each option till one showed print onscreen, and a tablet restart.
For future reference to anyone else finding their way here looking for root help on these tablets: If you dont have su installed, cant install su, apps say no root(or only half say root true), root only apps dont ask for permissions(or do but fail regardless) or any combination of those examples you most likely dont have root. And even less likely dont have root if you did nothing to gain root just check.
To make it easier sry....download and install SU. If you cant your not rooted. If you can load it up and be sure it all works properly and all info seems to be correct. That doesnt prove root however. Download an app that requires root, any trusted one shall do. Access the app and do whatever needs to be done in order for the app to request permissions of SU. SU should pop up and ask basically yes or no...choose yes and then assure the app did what it was supposed to do correctly. If it did you have root....if it continuously fails, or doesnt request SU permissions at all you do not have root.

Yes suprising lol, and lucky. Somebody might have made a decent ROM for it but I don't know one I'm sorry. You do have a good start on android though, a cheap tablet with a generic unbloated system. Start off with skimming a few tutorials on how to create a ROM by dumping a current system without modification of the actual files just dumping. You'll have a good jump start on android knowledge and even a little more about tablet hardware. It really comes down to the want or need of a custom rom. Which I would suggest either buy a second test tablet or learn more about ROMs before heading into recoveries.

I also bought a iRulu 7" Tablet 16GB and it does not even work. When it comes up it keeps saying that the keyboard stopped and a bunch of android files stop working. If I do get to set it up when I reboot it clears all my data ?? I'm returning it but man $43.00 is not even worth it.
I have a Kindle and a samsung galaxy S4 and they run circles around this. The only good thing I could say is it used and gave me 64gb with a 64gb mini but tablet won't work long enough to use it. I always have to do a factory reset and wipe all my data to get it to maybe work. I did this for about 2 hours last night and then gave up.

Thanks for the guide ,been looking a while
Just rooted mine
Have the irulu 6.5 inch mtk6572 unlocked 3g. When you plug it into your PC, enable MTP to root.
Just rooted it using framaroot from this site. Had to use v1.9.1, after downloading and trying every one. Only glitch found was that the superuser does not work correctly in adb shell, can't seem to get from $ to # when typing su. Had to install clockworkmod Superuser app from the google play store, now superuser works. Even installed busybox.
Ok, now that I have superuser access, wohoo, what I really want is to expand my internal storage using a swap, haven't figured that out yet though but have been working on it. Afraid to flash a custom rom, but do know that if you reboot to bootloader you can try flashing differant recovery roms, if they are not compatible, fastboot won't let you, when you look at your tablet screen it even says wrong recovery and quits, which is good.
Anyways, if I could figure out how to edit the vold.fstab, vold.fstab.fat.nand and vold.fstab.nand correctly, who needs a custom recovery?
Another thought, risky but may work, even tried playing around with the above mentioned fstab files by copying the android-x86 4.4 RC2:
kern
al
ramdisk
.img
system.
cfg
init
rd.img
to either a SDCARD or the internal phone storage, somehow blocking out the internal phone storage and booting from one of those, it may work. I'm running the 4.4 RC2 on a seperate partiton dual booting in ubuntu on my desktop. Figured out that you do not even need to install 4.4 RC2 from a usb stick or cdrom, just copy those 4 files to the hard disk, create a data directory and it boots up. So my thing is, maybe it will work on a android tablet. Wouldn't mind running kitkat on my tablet, and shoot, the internal storage is only 514mb, won't miss that to much if I could run kitkat from 2.11gb of storage. Another downside though is that alot of apps you like may not work doing this, know some don't on my PC, but than again, that could just be a PC issue.

vroot
use vroot i rooted my irulu x10 its an awesome app just install it as a normal apk and it will root your tablet
it worked on my irulu x10 not sure about irulu 7" tab go and search vroot on google
re: Rooting iRulu tablet
I just used Towelroot.apk to root mine and then installed the su binary - piece of cake :good:
Greetings, I have a Archos 101b platinum tablet running kitkat and I have been searching around the internet but I just can't seem to find anything about rooting for this tablet.
I would really love to root it and make it possible for apps/games being installed on the SDcard and if possible get an adblock on it. but to do such things I seem to need root access but the amount of information on how to do it for this tablet is so minimal(None) it's driving me crazy.
If anybody is able to help me with this I would really appreciate it.
Extra info:
Android version: 4.2.2
Firmware version: 4.6
Kernel version: 3.3.0
Root
to be honest dont root this tablet, it becomes very unstable and can factory reset on every reboot, go through settings applications all. Once there clear the cache, data and disable any programs that you dont want to use such as google music, videos, books etc this will save you space and ram.
Use iroot
Hi, it's great for me to have found this forum. I have a Lenovo P780. It initially came with a heavy launcher and the ROW(?) ROM, rooted I think from a store. The phone is great but the 1GB RAM is kind of a bottleneck. I really use the phone as a desktop replacement and perform lots of organizing and office work ( alongside with music and video playback of course). Trying to find something lighter for the phone and without having absolutely no idea what am I doing, I put Vibe UI 2.0 to it (no backup or anything else) and that was the start of the end Although the phone is much faster now, there is no store and i'm unable so far to install it. Also I'd like to know if there is a better alternative environment for the phone or a (easy) way to remove some of the Lenovo bloatware (which have no uninstall option ) (or just disappear them from launcher). Could you please explain me how can I achieve the above in the most idiot-proof and simple way possible, maybe also give me some hints (or point me to a thread-link) about the terminology because I'm a complete noob . Thanks in advance for reading this
First and Foremost, you need to Check if the device is Really Rooted. If you are not familier with the concept, please review How to Root Any Device Next use a simple app called Root checker [APP] Root Checker - in the Android Market That will confirm if you do or do not have Root.
If it turns out you don't have Root, please review Rooting Tutorial for KitKat to get Root. If you have issues in that process, please post on that thread.
As to the Lenovo Bloatware, these are what's called System Apps. Those can''t be removed the traditional way. You need a Root Uninstaller that uses Root permissions. Typically users go for Titanium Backup as it can take backup of apps that you uninstalled. That way if you remove something that's critical to the Running of Android, you can restore back.
Please use caution. When in doubt, its advisable to Freeze an app using Titanium Backup rather than removing it.
Thanks mate, you've been very helpful. The phone is not currently rooted. I'm checking and trying all the suggestions posted. I will post here or at stumpy's thread if I have a problem / query.
This is a POSSIBLE Root method for 5.01+ for S4 but needs testers of which I cannot be.
So I read up on this Chinese company that managed to get root working for a variety of 32bit devices. I never fully took the OTA just dissected it(I never do! next time neither should u!)
Info gathered from: http://sur.ly/o/kingroot.net/AA001290
Obviously not my exploit. I know nothing just giving those that dont have root a chance maybe?
Download:
Kingroot4.0 PC
Kingroot4.0 for Phone
http://mmgr.myapp.com/myapp/Kingroo...oot-4.0.0.233-release-201505071219_105001.apk
KingMaster for Phone
KingUser for Phone
From what I gather you use the PC version to root it currently. Download the .exe from the 1st link then install the file, plugin your phone and press the blue button. I'd try that 1st before trying the other files if that doesn't work theres a chance that the .apk or kingroot for the phone might you can try that as well. The last two files I listed appear to be more root oriented apps for removal of bloat or similar speed enhancements but also contain the ability to root if not already rooted... I haven't seen much on this new version of the app but a variant has been used to help root the S6. Different tho as they have 64bit we have 32bit. But from the press release it claims to successfully root S4 Lollipop along with Note3 and some others. Below is that Press release originally in chinese (with pictures) and translated by google:
KingRoot first a key Root Android L version of the Samsung S4, S5
Android 5.0 Lollipop (hereinafter referred to as Andrioid L) is the second major update 4.0, the biggest change is the UI user interface design, new Andrioid L system user interface more concise, more colorful, it has been widely recognized by users . Currently, there are already some Samsung S4, S5 and Note3 phone users receive OTA upgrade instructions, the first upgrade to the Andriod L system, of course, the whole rom download Brush upgrade rom can.
As a mobile player after upgrading to Andrioid L, or the first Root, which has become a habit. Currently, KingRoot first full support Andrioid L version of the Samsung S4, S5, Note3 model of a key root, for Samsung users to experience the new system, but can also enjoy such as modifying font, uninstalled own applications, shut down since the start of a process, etc. series of advanced features.
Kingroot PC version to achieve Android L version of the Samsung S4, S5 and a key root Note3
Case Samsung S4 process conducted by KingRoot root of:
Figure: KingRoot a key Root Samsung S4
First, Samsung S4 phone connected to the computer, then click the Start button KingRoot Root interface, you can wait a few minutes after the success of Root.
Figure: KingRoot success a key Root Samsung S4
Exactly for Samsung S5, Note3 other models root process.
Root then build their own Andrioid L system
After the phone Root, users can begin to create their own exclusive Andrioid L system, for example: to modify the system fonts, uninstall system comes with the program (such as camera, contacts, etc.), modify the system's internal program (game cheats, change money , levels, etc.), the system landscape (change the percentage of electricity, transparent taskbar and other landscaping features), management software boot from the start, the application is automatically installed electronic market (the majority of games, systems management software), control CPU frequency, voltage (by controlling the CPU The voltage and frequency to control power consumption purposes), and so on.
Figure: Permission to take root successfully interface after Samsung S4
In addition, after the phone Root can also be achieved, for example a malicious ad blocking, phone deep cleaning, game data backup application to move, change fonts, change the boot animation, brush into the Google service pack, view the phone system folders, modify the Hosts and other systems files and many other operations.
Figured it was worth a shot for you guys that don't have root any longer or those nubes looking to gain it for 1st time. If this works I can possibly work out a port to be able to remove the chinese apks and install SuperSu after rooted. Can you guys test and let me know results.... exactly what the phone does in each case would be useful.
crossing my fingers for you, good luck!

subscribed. lets see what happens with this.
I hope people would try it!!
No luck. I've tried using the PC app in both Win7 and Win8 (virtual machines) and also tried using the APK.
Alas, I was one of those who foolishly applied the OTA. Tried this, both the PC and the phone versions, no luck. The phone version gives me an error of (google translated from chinese)
Code:
KingRoot 4.0
Mobile Root failure

So, no luck there.
Also subbed, thanks for this.
Hi, I'm new to all of this, and I'm looking into rooting my sch-i545 because VZW just pushed out Lollipop and I absolutely hate it. Nothing but problems on my device. So, what I'm getting from this is nobody has successfully figured out how to root around it yet?
Nope!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
I also tried it and I keep getting this screen and it doesn't seem to work. I took the OTA out of impatience, but realized my mistake. Hope something comes out of all this.
Didn't work for me. Kingroot seemed to confirm it. (Translated text made zero sense but displayed an envelope with a check mark, will screenshot and post) but root checker says I'm not rooted and supersu says root isn't properly installed and needs to be rerooted.
King Root
Well I couldn't stand to wait so, I installed KingRoot & NO it did not work. tried twice.

Chinese... Non-working root tool?
Probably installs (or is) malware on your PC and/or phone...
Might want to check closely & see if anything 'new' has appeared in your msconfig, etc...

It is a legit root tool. Just doesn't work for the S4, as of yet, and he was just asking for people to try it.
thread can be closed.
Guess it didnt work thanks for trying, looked promising.
Hey guys,
I would like to buy ZenPad Z580CA - 8'' IPS - 64 GB - Wifi and it will be my first Android tablet. Can you tell me if it's "rootable" or not? And if it is, Are there any ROMs available for it?
Anyone guys?
Yes, it is easily rootable. Just follow instructions in "Zenpad S root achieved". You will need a 8gb sdcard in fat2 format to put the chainfire updated su zip file on.
I actually bricked mine already by removing bloat with titanium backup. Fortunately asus provided factory image on their web support site soi was able to restore it with root method above.
The tablet is great after you freeze thd bloatware. I kind of like the asus enhancements. I disabled lock screen and configured wake up when double tapping the black screen, could not do that on my nexus 7.
However i dont like asus launcher so i use nova launcher instead.
mulperi, thanks a lot for the info and the reply, very helpful. I have a question: you said you bricked your tablet when you tried to uninstall Asus apps, should I avoid it and try to freeze the bloatware? The SDcard should be formatted FAT32?
Titanium Backup hung when trying to restore my uninstalled system apps. So my recommendation is to forget titanium and instead use the android built in ordinary application disable. I was able to disable everything i consider bloatware, also many google apps.
Yes avoid disabling/freezing asus apps (color, ui...) and especially asus launcher.
I think the flash tools use an old version of cwm, that can only work with max 8gb sdcard formatted as fat2. At least my other 64gb sdcard was not recognized at all.
Go luck, its a great tablet!
Thanks a lot man for the help and the good advice!
Cheers!
Guys, have you tried to install xposed on it? I'm trying but I've failed so far. I get a message "Xposed int not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (x68)". Any ideas?
I succeeding in installing xposed-v79-sdk21-x86.zip using temporary cwm recovery. Before rebooting remember to clear cache and dalvik cache. Then install xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
Now it has been a year the tablet is rooted but still nobody has thought to port a new rom. It's a shame, because it is a good tablet but even rooted, Marshmallow sucks and the tablet has a lot of lags. Furthermore, I have been seeing to buy a new tablet, but I realize that the specs of the new ones, are not that different than the specs of this one. So, I'm asking to those great creators of Lineage OS, who ported the Z380 could you please port the Z580CA? thank you in advance
