Instructions for the Surftab Breeze 7:

In this case it's really easy to get the tab rooted. It already has the su binary installed :) Get SuperSU from market and let it do the rest.

Instructions for the Surftab Ventos 8:

Big news!

I made it to make another rooting method without the use of any 3rd party software!

It's also not important which OS you are using.

Pre-requisites:

Get a Micro SD card! (up to 8GB as it seems that more than 8GB cannot be used to activate CWM)

Instructions:

1. Get my custom clockworkmod recovery zip from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1995984

2. Unpack the zip file on the root of your micro SD card (there has to be a file named uImage_recovery now)

3. Download the attached signed_SU.zip file and put it either on your internal or external SD (do NOT unpack it)

4. Shutdown your Tab

5. Keep Volume- pressed and tap the power button (while still keeping the Volume- pressed) until you see the clockworkmod menu

6. Choose "install zip from sdcard"

7. Depending on the fact where you have the zip stored, select either the internal or external card

8. Select the zip and confirm its installation with "Yes"

9. After the script finished, hit reboot and check if you have SuperSU installed

This should be it :)

To do:

I'll make a new thread helping in installing the Playstore without having to root our ventos tablets.

After the tablet rebooted twice you should see SuperSU now as installed application. Now you just need a working play store apk and move it into the system partition (don't forget chmod to 644) to get the Play store running.

Instructions for the Surftab Ventos 9.7:

As I don't have anyone with a rooted 9.7 at the moment (to get a dump of the stock recovery), I can't make a working CWM to get the below signed_SU.zip flashed, sorry! Only the old rooting method listed below only works at the moment (if moborobo is in a good mood :) )...

As usual I don't take any responsibility for bricked devices (but I assume that the chances of bricking are nearly impossible)

If you have any questions, let me know!

Old Rooting method:

Hi,

I know, many of you don't know these tables at all. But as far as I know, these are only available in Germany at the moment.

Anyways, I think it is helpful for my German colleagues to know how to root these tablets as they don't need to search for hours and hours until finding a solution that is suitable (as I did :-/ ).

The Windows way:

Pre-requisites:
0. A Windows PC
1. Download Moborobo ([URL]http://www.moborobo.com/download/[/URL])
2. Install any Updates Moborobo needs to install
3. Download the latest release of bin4ry's universal rooting for most ICS and JB phones/tablets ([URL]http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460[/URL])
Thanks to bin4ry by the way :)
4. Download my modded Runme.bat

Instructions:
1. Unpack the 7z Archive from point 3 into Moborobo's installation folder. The result should be that you have a new folder "stuff" and a runme.bat and runme.sh in the Moborobo folder
2. IMPORTANT: Unpack my modded runme.bat into the MoboRobo folder and delete the original batch file
3. Start Moborobo and ignore any exceptions which are thrown out (at least my Visual Studio nagged me all the time, and no, I wasn't willing to debug the application :p )
4. Connect the Tablet to the PC and wait until Moborobo says that it is connected
5. Then start the modded Runme.bat and follow the instructions (select the first option by the way, which says "Normal")
6. Watch the screen, you need to click on Restore on your tablet (without any passwords)
7. See the magic happen

The Linux way:

Here is the feedback of an owner of a Trekstor Ventos 9.7:
[QUOTE]
Hi,

[...]
I am using Linux (old Fedora 15), I used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15.zip without any modifications to root the device. I ran the unix shell script that is provided in the package and selected option 1 for rooting, just as you suggested. I did not really understand why you needed the mobo tool, Bin4ry's script seems to work out of the box.

After that I installed SuperUser with latest busybox, terminal app and a console version of openssh, all that also works just fine.

I did not try Google Play or any other market, I use the device without a Google account, so I actually removed the preinstalled AndroidPit market and got rid of everything that wanted to collect my personal data.

I hope some day I can post in the thread but right now I do not see anything else where I could participate to gather those annoying 10 posts.

Again, thanks for your initial walkthrough, it gave me the hints I needed.

Kind regards,
Jin
