Just splitting this out from the Padfone X root thread. Thanks to the two users I quote below. Towelroot 1 does work, just did it on my own device =)

Hey guys, I know this isn't the PadFone S section. But As XDA don't currents have an "S" specific section and the handsets are pretty much he same i thought i would put this here. So i wanted Root on my "S" and after reading the thread i thought "Im pretty sure it will work" So i jumped on in at the deep end with my 2Hours old PadFone "S" hoping for the best. And.............TowelRoot V1 i can confirm works with the Padfone S also. I Haven't seen any one else post about the PadFone S Root and im sure people will inevitably want to do it when more and more people get their and on it but will likely be apprehensive due to there not being much out for the S yet. Hope it helps some one.

ASUS PADFONE S (X?)
They keep saying online that that X and S are the exact same? Well, I have the S with dock/tablet and I beg to differ. Please excuse this, not trying to hijack this thread. There are just so few of us. atm.
So far:
ROOT: TOWELROOT TR1 works perfectly on PadFone X and S Best to have SUPERSU, BUSYBOX, & ROOT CHECKER installed before rooting for ease of use after root.
TWRP Installs easily. Use this adb shell script for ASUS PadFone S only!:
Code:
adb shell "curl 'http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img'>/sdcard/recovery.img; su -c 'dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery' bs=4096; sync; reboot recovery;"
Run> Allow SU> Reboots as normal> ASUS boot screen> black screen (TWRP is running but has the 'blackscreen bug')>wait 60 seconds>hit start button>TWRP appears> at TWRP settings reset timeout to 30 seconds or less (if you like.) We are waiting for the TWRP 2.8 update for these units, yes, it is in the works. The X version of TWRP (this thread) did not work for me on S.
XPOSED installs normally on S. Many features in Gravity Box etc. do not function perfectly because of the ASUS overlay. Lots of modules do work though. Please test for yourself. No issues so far with OS or root as of yet.
CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER v6 XDA LINK CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER works great on S.
X users please check to see if xposed and mirror enabler work for you too. :good:
BTW: ES File Manager writes to an exFAT 64GB microSD card after root and enabling the root tool. It's super fast and it's awesome! (Nexus 5 , iPhone 6, etc? Eat my dust.)
The more I use this phone, the more I like it!

Most recent link (on that thread, which I downloaded) to towelrootv1 is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/development/root-mojo-towelroot-one-click-t2799712
And the main reason I wanted root on this nice device is GMD Gesture Control!
I was worried about how it would handle the switching displays, so I've just been trying things out. We need to override the multitouch device detection to 'asus_dds_sis_touch', then it works (only in tablet mode). So I have gestures in tablet mode, but not in phone mode (where they're less useful in my opinion). Will report in the GMD thread and ask the author what can be done. For example, running free GMD for phone mode?

Hey folks, I just got a used padfone S that I plan to set my mam up with, does this route work ok? I'm not very tech inclined and I see conflicting sentences in the first post, saying it works for the S but then the blambo quote in the OP makes me worried it doesn't work properly, or gives some problems? Can someone please advise?

What's wrong based on the quote? Yes it will work. Until the padfone S gets the L update (has not happened yet), in which case you'd need KIngroot instead (I think, have not bothered to update myself).
Whose busybox and super su you used?
By update do you mean an upgrade to lolipop?
Towelroot only works on kitkat right? I heard that someone can use framaroot as well.

Just these two sentences:
"We are waiting for the TWRP 2.8 update for these units, yes, it is in the works. The X version of TWRP (this thread) did not work for me on S.
XPOSED installs normally on S. Many features in Gravity Box etc. do not function perfectly because of the ASUS overlay. Lots of modules do work though. Please test for yourself. No issues so far with OS or root as of yet."
These just make it sound like it's not fully functional and has problems? As I said, I'm not very techy with these things but just this would make me afraid to use it, is there any need for concern? Is the L update on its way and will it still be possible to root again after upgrading?

Root is not the same as TWRP nor Xposed.
If you're not very 'techy' (whatever that means) why do you want to root the phone in the first place? There's almost no reason to nowadays except for those with very specific requirements. And if you're not sure what TWRP and XPOSED are then you probably aren't in that group (no offense).

No offence taken I've rooted a few phones, but I've never done it myself, I've always paid someone to do it (just some tech guy I know and he's cheap but very good). Main reason I want the padfone rooted is to be able to use adblock and to get rid of the bloatware. The padfone is for my mam and she's a complete technophobe so I want as little unnecessary apps as possible on it and maybe to replace stock apps with other apps that might be easier to use for her..
So does anyone reckon rooting would be worth it for the above or am I best just to leave it be and not mess with it for fear of running into problems down the line?

I need help rooting this tablet. The Proscan plt4311-pl is a small tablet running Android 4.0. I have tried OneClickRoot and SuperOneClick, neither worked. I am new to this but I would love to have full control over my tablet and install a custom ROM. Can someone please help me and put it in terms that a newbie can understand!
root proscan plt4311
This is a MIPS based tablet. (Actions 7013 based). Most apps and binaries are made for ARM. That is why the tools you mentioned didn't work. I think there is a list keeping track of what apps work and/or have been ported over at the Ainol Novo 7 basic threads.
I managed to get root access, but there's many steps involved, and honestly I'm gonna have to go back and figure exactly what I did after I get some rest but below are the tools&links and some basic instructions.
******OOps, guess I can't post links as a new user. type freetexthost.com/xvfjzr1ltq into your browser for my notes on rooting the Proscan Plt4311*********
******Edit #2: I soft bricked it trying to install ICS gapps. I re-flashed the firmware and rooted the tablet again, much quicker this time. And I managed to get play store and some other apps going. I should have a ready made script after work tommorow for you and all the other Big Lots bargain shoppers who bought this tablet (I got mine for $40!)

Just got mine on sale for $17.99 on Newegg Flash, came in the mail today. It's still doing the first charge on my 3A, shouldn't take long (no devil emote?) Can't wait to see what you devs can do for this thing! Although it is MIPS I'm sure simple apps and roms will run fine, but ARM is still preferable. But hey, it was $18. What do you expect?

You can root with:

Framaroot: Framaroot is a oneclick root app . No computer needed
This is the most popular one!
Z4Root: Z4Root is an oneclick root app . No computer needed
Towelroot: Towelroot is an oneclick root app. No computer needed
Baidu: No information
Vroot: No information
Gingerbreak: This app can root almost all gingerbread devices

ask yourself a question, WHY should i root my XTZ...???
some of us want to root their devices but in reality they are not using the privilege of being rooted. it makes no sense.
rooting is safe provided you know how to backup and restore your firmware if anything goes wrong during/after the process.
and if you are rooted be careful with the app and files inside the /system. and be careful with the apps (for rooted devices that requires rooted devices) you'll installed.

I dont know why all these comments leave you on the road to ruin... Cause not once did I see any one ask what model you have or what your current version of android you are running on it.
I have the US version SGP312 32GB WiFi only version build 10.3.1.C.0.136... (Android version 4.2.2) rooted and working fine with no hiccups.
Keep in mind I did update it first from the box.
Here is the link if you need it:

For the record, I can confirm that my NFC works just fine after root. Just beamed a few videos from my phone to the tablet without a even a hiccup.

Hey,
I am about to get a new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 64gb tomorrow and I'm already checking how to root the tablet and get all the Gapps up and running.
Unfortunately there are still a few things which are a little bit confusing for me at the moment:
1. Which is the best way to make sure that the Kindle Fire does not install an OTA update on its own? I mean it can not be the solution to keep the tablet in airplane mode all the time, that is ridiculous! I read about several ways to block OTA updates, installing a firewall, changing a value in the build.prop or renaming a certain file in den /system/ folder. Which way has to be proven to be the best way?
2. After gaining root I will install Safestrap and flash the official Amazon Rom to a slot. Is there a size for the Rom partition which is recommended? I have seen Safestrap now supports up to 16gb.
3. After booting the Amazon Rom from a Safestrap slot, can you do an OTA update or will this affect the whole system?
4. Can someone please point me to the correct and latest version Gapps for the 8.9" model (Apollo)?
I'm pretty sure I will come up with more questions tomorrow, but that's for now!
Thanks for your help ...

Once you complete the process to make dual-system (both Gapps and Amazon) the HDXposed module will block updates.

It seems to be known the Xposed mod doesn't block updates. If you want the tab for the specs but also as close as possible to a stock android experience. I would recommend how I did it with SS on both stock and rom slot, airplane moding the stock slot and never going back there unless necessary. Also try to rename the files and if possible try to mod the build if you think fit.
Just my 0.02.

Same as kschang with same version of Google+ (latest version). HDX 7 with 13.3.1.0 firmware. It's run fine with Cpasjuste's ROMs (both the Thor Gapps and the AOSP ROMs) as well as stock ROM with Cpastjuste's Gapps zip installer.
Hi
I've also got HDX 8.9 14.3.1.0 Apollo. How did you get supersu installed?
I've got the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
The author recommends installing through Google Play.
But if I turn off airplane mode I'll get updated, so I can't do that.
Other option is to install supersu through CWM, TWRP or MobilOdin.
But they also require Google Play to install.
I'm on linux. What should I do?

I've also got HDX 8.9 14.3.1.0 Apollo. How did you get supersu installed?
I've got the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
The author recommends installing through Google Play.
But if I turn off airplane mode I'll get updated, so I can't do that.
Other option is to install supersu through CWM, TWRP or MobilOdin.
But they also require Google Play to install.
I'm on linux. What should I do?

Development sec..use plainly marked utility for everything
I mean Christ the best I can find is this: http://blog.julianxhokaxhiu.com/entry/how-to-install-supersu-on-hamlet-zelig-pad-210g
But he's got a custom install script. There's no install.sh file in the zip I got.
Some old threads look promising (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410223) but will BurritoRoot or whatever worked on Kindle Fire 2 years ago work for Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Apollo???
If you got all this working, it would be great if you could just unpack all the instructions you went through. No links and trying to be timeless lillypads for the future, just a detailed case study.

There's only a Windows solution, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
I got VBox to see the Kindle and just used the KFHDX ToolKit v0.91 toolkit.

To root Huawei Mediapad T1 8.0 PRO LTE T1-821L
Build No: T1-821LV100R001C178B007 (I guess it should work on older builds too)
Use KingRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
or
http://www.kingroot.net/
Worked fine for me, purify app from the developer also installs automatically unfortunately.
Again your warranty may be void after rooting.
What about unlocking the bootloader? Custom recovery? A have no idea any ideas?

Bootloader unlocking can be officially done through registering on huawei's Chinese website (don't worry just choose english lang) and following "refomatting lock" guide: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
On custom recovery and ROM: no developer is working on that, as far as I know. I've started to research it but I have very limited experience on building custom recovery from source and I haven't found one developed to a similar device to port it.

Preciselly, what unlocking the bootlader is needed for?
As mentioned above root can be done readily just running KingRoot...

A unlocked the bootloader but really was a waste of time if we hav no custom recovery and rom wish a never bought this tablet
Why? What to take into account when buying a tablet?
And is it anything one could mod with this model once one has it already at hand?
Rooted mine as well with KingRoot.
You can freeze Purify now since you are rooted.
You can install Xposed Framework as well, Any version before 2.6 is working fine.
KingRoot does its job well indeed! However there is a problem with applying
Super-Sume afterwards. It's strange, on other KK devices it went smoothly...

there is a thread on how to replace kingroot supersu or such. with each kingroot update they try to block the replacement
Ponder not exactly the case the latest KingRoot needs the latest Super-Sume.
After many trials only this pair works for me: KingRoot 4.8.1 with Super-Sume 9.1.3
Any other combination fails, it's strange, especially when with older KingRoot (4.8.1 as still it makes root) attempting the latest Super-Sume... (it fails)
However there's another problem, specifically for the MediaTab T1. After replacing with Super-Sume, indeed, SuperSU is working and kicking, but unfortunately JUST ONLY when you set the option GRANT as "Access -> Default policy" (in SuperSU). When you set PROMPT it fails as the system somehow prevents popping up messages (in this case: requests for user's approval to grant root for an application).
Has anybody any idea how to alleviate this?
People used to say there's some sort of ui overlay in this MediaTab. Probably it blocks third party apps' pop-ups... What to do, what to freeze?
Hey guys, I'm trying to purchase this item, but not able to find it anywhere even gethuawei.com. Is there a website tucked away somewhere that I can order this device? I've also tried amazon, ebay, overstock.com, and most of your common places and all say out of stock. Thanks in advance for an answer.
a seller name BREED on ebay is selling it.

Thanks
Thanks for this thread and the links......I rooted my Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 LTE-821L last night using Kingroot only took 2 or 3 minutes very straight forward after a bit more forum reading I downloaded and installed Titanium backup....
T1-821L rooted with the latest Kingroot app. Very easy. Then i downloaded Super-Sume 6.0 APK File. Now i have SuperSU. No problems!
I would love to find a development tree for this phablet.
It is lacking:
1. Developers!!
2. Custom recovery (TWRP/CWM)
3. CPU Governor development
4. That sweet baby-jesus Custom Rom that hordes of nerds pray for! I would do it myself but i am linux disabled. Cyanogenmod nougat update would blow ppls minds but for now i would settle for stripped 4.4 android with cpu overclocking.
To Rom or not to Rom - Having my fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
Breed no longer sell these. Anyone know someone else selling?

Has anyone successfully rooted this phone yet? I found root instructions by googling, but they were posted before the release of the phone so I don't trust them. For example:

I temp rooted mine with dirty cow, however it gained me very little. There are three main obstacles: 1) SELinux prevents most things from working, because each program runs within a tight security context, 2) using dirty cow causes the kernel to not save changes to the partition (it doesn't want to write a corrupted partition to disk), in other words a r/w /system is useless, even when you can finally write to it, 3) using dirty cow on the most attractive programs (from a permissions perspective) causes "little" problems like the screen going off.
I've been monitoring another XDA thread (sorry, link is at home) where they are working through these issues on another device. There are various approaches and workarounds, but they currently all involve way more risk than I can justify for a $500 phone.
AIUI, once you've got root, you need to be able to put selinux into permissive mode, but surely getting temp root is a start?
Can you not install systemless root?
If I got the dates right, the phone kernel should be affected by this bug. A proof of concept seemed to be promised by the reporter in the next few days. http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/607
Will be interesting to see how it compares to dirty cow as far as access.
Tried KingoRoot - no luck

Well, I tried KingoRoot by running the apk and it failed with an error at 90%. They say there is a version that can be run from Windows, but it appears to be no longer available. I emailed support. I will post again if I make any progress.

DO NOT TRY "Rootkhp". IT CONTAINS VIRUSES AND OPENS UP A BUNCH OF WINDOWS, INCLUDING A FAKE ANTIVIRUS.
Thanks Windows Defender for NOT defending me!

Please note that the phone is 64-bit. This is source code that requires compilation and additional code to do anything useful. Prerequisites include the NDK and related build tools installed via Android Studio. I run Linux so it was relatively painless, but I imagine it might be more of a challenge under Windows.

thanks, I tried that out of curiosity on my phone and it worked (Lollipop, stock Sony Xperia Z Ultra ROM).
--edit-- It appears to give me a root shell, but it doesn't execute anything if I hit return, just hangs. but still, it proves my kernel is vulnerable ;-(
deleted. had a total brain fade and made this post in the wrong forum, sorry.

I've uploaded the dirtycow exploit which I built using the Android Studio NDK to

there's two builds, one for for 32 and the other for 64 bit android
unpack and run on a linux box connected to the phone over ADB

Hi. I know this thread is about the Lenovo Phab2 Pro and I have the Lenovo Phab2 but maybe someone can help me. I tried what was suggested on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/phab-2/how-to/how-to-root-phab-2-pb2-650y-t3524305 But it seems I screwed up and now the phone gets stuck in the Lenovo sign. I'd really appreciate some help since I just bought this phone 2 days ago and now I can't use it. I can access TWRP but it seems there's nothing in /system. I think maybe that's the problem. I'm no expert but since I had rooted and downgraded and upgraded firmware several times on my previous phone, a LG G3. I thought maybe I could do this. I shouldn't have If someone can help me I'd really appreciate. Thanks in advance.
I was able to fix this. Sorry to have bothered.
Hi,
I've been able to get proper root access on this phone. One new problem I am facing is that the tango camera and sensors doesn't seem to work. Normal camera works just fine.
Is this related to the rooting or can it be anything else entirely?
Edit: Never mind. I was able to fix it without having to remove the root. Apparently 'Tango Core' didn't have permissions to access camera. I am not sure how that got reset. So I gave access to it and now it works just fine.
