means there will be no unlock tool for the fonepad note 6 in the future to unlock the device actively by yourself.

I think the device is new so if past some time there is a chance to get a tool perhaps. But with or without we got root and i love this device. It's realy fast. The fastest device i've ever had. Soundrecording and playback is great (captures even low noises) and working with the pen feels precise and increases workflow. I'm not sad about spending my money into that device. If someone wants to buy this device then go and get it !

Update WW_V10.16.1.33.2

yesterday, the system update notifier of fonepad note 6 notify me an available update and i've tried to install but in fastboot mode i saw "error". I think the problem is the root. Today i've seen in asus support site the availibility of firmware WW_V10.16.1.33.2 There is a .zip file (1 GB) to download, but the question is: how to install this zip file? o.O If the only way to install this update is to unrooted the phone, i remain with the firmware 10.16.1.28
[General Questions and Answers] mac_o:
Hi alessiof89

on support side at "manuals & ..." the last entry is an instruction to update device but it's for the fonepad. But i think it is similar to that one. If you unzip the file then you got a .raw file. Put it in the root of your sd card. Shut down the device. Hold volume up and power button together. The device should vibrate but hold down until you see a blue android. That's our bootloader menu called droidboot were you can do fastboot commands(but not working for me of some reason). Vol+ and - to scroll the few entries. With sd card in perhaps it's the entry "recovery" ? I never tried sd card in device. If i pick the recovery entry the phone restarts and gives me an error. And i agree with you in point of root. I got the same update notification from asus but i haven't try to update yet. If you got SuperSu pro installed you can try to activate the survival mode to preserve su on phone after updating system.

[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
It's weird that I received no OTA notifications. Anyway here's how I manually updated it:

1. Visit the asus official wesite and download the firmware zip file.

2. Unzip it. you will have another UL-K00G zip file.

3. Put the zip file in step 2 in the root directory of your MicroSD card.

4. Turn down the device and Turn it back on.

5. You will see a triangular sign in the notification bar, saying it fonud a update pack.

6. Go with the precedure and you have manually updated to the newest verision.

I'm sorry and it's a shame asus did that + the new version is deleted on all service sites nowhere to be seen. I 've searched the last hours for a possibility to get root again after update but everything i found was related to save root before updating firmware + the problem of locked bootloader makes it not easier.

another question (but i think you did that) have you unpacked the old firmware after downloading ?

I'll keep eyes open and report back.

I've definitively lost the root permission but the update v32 improve audio e wifi. The fonepad note 6 need other many many update. I always thought the root is first step to personalize Android but in this case we need of system updates of Asus and CWM recovery, because if we have clockworkmod we can make flash install supersu.zip from recovery and we have permanently root

Update 10.16.1.33.3 (always Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean)

It's been released new update to version 10.16.1.33.3 http://www.alessiofasano.com/2013/12/asus-fonepad-note-6-aggiornamento-software-10-16-1-33-3.html
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Hi, I've been googling on the web. There is a Chinese root software called "VRoot", which roots a lot of devices. The newest beta version V1.7.4 was announced yesterday, which claimed it support X86 system. The lenovo K900 root was supported. And Lenovo K900 also has the same intel CPU as Fonepad note 6.

Mine haven't recieved any OTA message for the newest firmware, therefore I have no way to test if it works on the 10-16-1-33-3 firmware. But I tried Vroot on my 10-16-1-28-10, and it works. So it is very likely that Vroot could work on the newest firmware.

Anyway, here's the officical release of Vroot 1.7.4

http://bbs.mgyun.com/thread-23940-1-1.html

The only prolbem is, the software interface is in CHinese. But it's not that difficult.

Once you connect your FHD 6 with USB cable, activate the software. Let if automatically find the driver, then press the green button in the right corner. And it's done. (Maybe it would reboot one or two times)

Maybe you would like to give it a try?
[General Questions and Answers] alessiof89:
thank you but this software only work on Windows and i use Linux. Now I'm searching of Vroot for Linux ;)
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Hi, I just checked out their official website. I don't think they have a Linux version. :(
[General Questions and Answers] alessiof89:
no problem. I can wait...because with root we haven't official updates, and last two updates v32 e v33 improve stability of wifi (no more random disconnection) and audio performance (now very very high). So, i'm waiting for many official update. I hope that Asus will improve also the rendering of browser.

Just to confirm. I manually updated to 10.16.1.33.3, and VRoot doesn't work either. :(

Hi, I have a question and I don't know if it's possible.

Is there anyway for a rooted FHD 6 to manually update and still keep root?

Thanks for any help in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] mac_o:
Hi

The only way i know is somthing like ota rootkeeper but on some firmware updates it's not working. Another method is to 'copy' su to another position. In post #39 i posted a link to. Copy and paste to cydia impactor shell(ADB). I have done this in terminal emulator app on fonepad itself. I'm running the old version .28 but i don't want to loose root that easy way. I'm looking the web for other ways to preserve root to have more possibilities after update. Then perhaps the one or another sticks.

G mac_o
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Hi, thanks but manual update seems to wipe out the whole system partition, so the stacking away SU method doesn't work. It'll be wiped out after flashing. I have another device which stays in 28. I am trying to find a way that I can manual update and still keep root. :(

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] alessiof89:
I think the problem isn't asus fonepad note 6 but Android evolution: root methods like Cydia Impactor and Vroot use bug of signature (Cydia Impactor answer me: "signature bug isn't available") who is been fixed with last version of Android 4.2.2 and Android 4.3 like v32 and v33 versions

[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
OK, here's the thing.

I had problem receiving OTA and it turned out that it had nothing to do with being rooted. So, I kept hassling Asus for not being able to get OTA. After a couple of weeks, today they finally fixed the bug and send me the OTA update.

I activated the Supersu Pro Survivor mode first, and ota to 10.1.16.33.3.

Now I am in the newest firmware with root.

Here are some things to share:

1. SuperSU's survivor mode works on our Asus fonepad note 6. You can keep root after OTA.

2. If you have problem receiving OTA, it has nothing to do with rooting. Just contact Asus technical support( of course don't tell them you've rooted your device) and have they work it out.

Greenify can now hybernate an app even root, i couldn't disable the weather app and greenify warned me that it is not safe to hybernate a system app. Can i ask a second opinion about this?

[General Questions and Answers] Doctor_Bigfoot:
Hi everybody,

are there any news concerning the root of Fonepad not 6?

I had it rooted with Cydia Impactor but then I accidently made an OTA Update and now the root is gone.

And like some of you already stated Cydia Impactor doesn't work anymore.

So is there any new way to root the Fonepad Note 6 out yet like a custom firmware or does anybody know a way to downgrade to a previous firmware?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] alessiof89:
There aren't any ways. I have ask in the thread of Framaroot app for support x86 platform but i haven't received answer. The only way is to flash the rooted image but i think there aren't developers in this thread who make a toolkit

BTW:

I may have found a way to downgrade:

I just downloaded Firmware 10.16.1.36.2 and just renamed it to a version higher than the one I'm running on.

After copying that file to my Fonepad I get a message that I can install a firmwareupdate.

But befor I try I would like to know which is the last firmware rooting with CydiaImpactor was possible so I can try with that firmware.

Can anyone help me out with that?

But isn't there a tool or app to safe root when updating? What about Rootkeeper? Anyone tried that one?
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Here's what I did:

1. downgrade to .28

2. use Cydia Impactor to root

3. install Supersu Pro from Google play, and activate the survivor mode. (only in pro version)

4. OTA upgrade to the newest firmware.

5. The root's still there. Done.

Now my devices is on .36 and with root.

(By the way, OTA rootkeeper doesn't work, but SuperSU pro version works like a charm.)

I can confirm that this method works. SuperSu Pro works perfectly.

I'm on .36 now,too, and root is still there!!! :good:

I've sent back to Amazon my note 6 today with a full refund. I'm very disappointed. No one support from Asus or from developers. For a device who really need support because the fluidity and reactivity must be absolutely improved. I've bought Motorola Moto X with official support of Cyanogenmod 11 and Android 4.4 stock
[General Questions and Answers] bulanula:
No bootloader unlock provided STILL for this phone ?

Asus must be clueless. Hope this attitude against open source is not shared by all manufacturers.

On another note, good on you.

The more people stop buying these crippled locked bootloader devices the better chances we all have manufacturers only ship bootloader unlock allowed devices from factory.

Imagine a computer with locked BIOS that can only run Windows XP when you buy it and you can never switch to anything after that.

Too bad people are not making a stance, like you.

[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
The rooting process remains the same for the newest firmware. If you have rooted already, activate the survivor mode of SuperSU Pro before OTA. The root will hold.

If you are not rooted, the method of "downgrade > rooted with cydia impactor > supersu suvivor mode activated > OTA to the current firmware" is still available. Check post #73.

Hum how did you downgrade to 10.16.1.28.10? using droidboot?
[General Questions and Answers] Doctor_Bigfoot:
There is no need to use droidboot!

Just download the "old" firmware 10.16.1.28.10 which allows you to root with Cydia Impactor.

Once you downloaded it rename that file to a firmware newer than the one your fonepad is running with and copy that file to the internal memory of your fonepad just like you would do with any other file.

Then your fonepad lets you "upgrade" to that new firmware and after that "upgrade" you are on 10.16.1.28.10.

That's it.
