Thanks for replying. But I can't find USB drivers for fonepad note 6 in Asus website. I am not sure whether or not I can use the k900 drivers instead.

If the driver is wrong, there will be no consequences right? Like I won't brick my fonepad note 6, right? thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Doctor_Bigfoot:
Thanks for the advice but it doesn't work.

I just tried Kingo Root v1.1.4 but root fails.

Any other idea?
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
I think I kinda figure out the process. It's basically same as rooting Lenovo K900 or memopad fhd10.

First install the intel android device usb drivers.

Then flash a pre-rooted factory image with fastbood command or flashing tools.

Now all we need is a pre-rooted factory image. :(

Finally Root

Yeah, my Note 6 is rooted. I'm italian and this is my tutorial with screenshot: http://www.alessiofasano.com/2013/11/come-sbloccare-il-root-su-asus-fonepad-note-6.html

Titanium Backup, Adfree, Es File Explorer work, Quickboot doesn't work :(
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Thanks so much for sharing. But I can't read Italian at all.

I tried google translation but still very confusing. Is the rooting process only achievable on Linux system?

I am sorry to ask so much. But, if it's possible to have an English version of step by step and in windows environment, It'll be helping so much.
[General Questions and Answers] alessiof89:
I think the root process is also available for Windows but in that case you need the official drivers from Asus that I do not know where to download.

If your Windows PC is able to communicate with the Fonepad I think that it is enough to run Cydia Impactor (also available for Windows) but I'can't try because i haven't Windows on my PC
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Hi, I just tried with my windows OS. It couldn't reconize my fonepad note 6. I tried the official intel cpu android usb drivers but no go. there is no official usb drivers in Asus website. I guess there is still no ways for windows users to root it. :(
[General Questions and Answers] Doctor_Bigfoot:
What program did you try to root the Note 6 with?

I am asking because I trieg with Kingo root and my windows PC recognized the note 6.

Just the root failed because of Kingo root.
[General Questions and Answers] mac_o:
Thank you very much alessiof89 . I can confirm that this method works !!!! I am running Windows 7 64 bit machine and it's pretty easy just with a simple few clicks.

First of all i haven't downloaded any special driver for the Fonepad Note 6 on windows. I just connected the device for the first time to the computer and windows does the rest by installing some drivers from its archives. Then I turned on "USB debugging" in developers section on the phone and windows again starts downloading and installing some drivers for the device. On windows' device manager now you should see"SAMSUNG Android Phone" open that and it shows "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" (weird). I don't now why the first entry called "Samsung.." and the opened one called "ASUS.." but --anyway---

the "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" is the important driver without this ADB won't work and the device will not be recognized on ADB and rooting procedure will not happen.

After that go to Settings>Security and tick the box "Unknown Sources". As of security reasons after the rooting process untick this box and leave it as before.

Download the programm Cydia Impactor for windows (only one version to download for) alessiof89 posted in his link. It's a zip file. unzip it anywhere on your PC and open the unzipped folder. Run the file "Impactor.exe" by rightclicking it and choose "Run as administrator". There is no installation . A small window appears within a dropdown menu. Choose the first entry called "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su" and hit the "start" button. After a very short time (It feels less then a second) the rooting process is done.

On the phone there is no change in visuals there is no special app like "SuperSU" in the app drawer. It looks like before without root !

Now dowload the app "root checker" an play store to verify your root status. If the thing is round you should see a congrats message like on the screenshot alessiof89 postet in his link.

That's all.

Now i will check my normally installed apps wich needs root acces like on my other devices. But the first thing i want to do is to install the app "SuperSu" from play store and let's see if it can take control over the rooting admins.

and again many thanks to alessiof89 for this next step to our device.

Edit: I can confirm SuperSU from Chainfire works !! Now asking to grant su per app it needs.

Edit 2: After moments of thinking about the weird Samsung device thing i remember of the Asus Transformer TF300T i got at the beginning of the year and installed ADB driver for it from the official homepage of Asus also for my Samsung Galaxy Fit device. The idea is to install usb driver from another Asus product even if you don't have one ?

THANK YOU, alessiof89!!!

I've got it done, too. I simply install Ubuntu in my computer and have it rooted. It was quite easy after having had the Android SDK environment setup.

My computer instantly recognized the device, and Cydia impactor worked like a charm.

Now I have a rooted Fonepad note 6 as well. ^^

Still, it is quite a lot of work for ubuntu newbies like me. It'll be really great if someone can make a windows version of rooting process to help others to come.

Anyway, I got it done. Thanks! ^^
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Hi, I don't know. I seriously don't know. The Device Manager only read my fonepad note as a "android device" with a yellow sign .

It refused to update to any drivers I installed. Quite depressing.

Eventually, I got it done in an UBUNTU OS.
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
Gosh! You make it sound so easy. My windows 7 just simply refused to cooperate, and I have no idea why. Sigh.

Anyway, we all get it done one way or the other. It's a good thing.
[General Questions and Answers] Doctor_Bigfoot:
It works out just fine (I am using Windows 7 64bit).

I didn't install any special USB driver.

I just connected the Note 6 and let windows do the rest or maybe it was because I had an older ASUS USB driver installed? (I had a Padfone 2 and a Fonepad 7 before - so if you have trouble with the USB driver you might wanna try the Padfone usb driver?!)

After that I just downloaded CydiaImpactor and started it (enabling USB Debugging on the Note 6 first of course).

Device is rotted and everythings works out!

Thanks for the tip/hint with CydiaImpactor!!! :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] iamhcg:
OK, this is so weird. But after I ghosted back my windows system. I decided to give it try again (Although I've had root).

Anyway, once I plugged in, my windows recognized my Fonepad note 6. I have "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" in my device manager.

So this is another confirmation. Simply plug it in. I don't know why I went all the trouble for Ubuntu. :~~

Try to go in DROIDBOOT (Vol+ and Power buttons together) and choose Wipe data in menu.

And people from my forum talking about firmware from ASUS Ftp is corrupted :(

Good file is here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5eed2a133f07/UL_K00G_WW_11_2_1_22.zip (no need unpacking)

htt ps: // cloud.mail. ru/public/5eed2a133f07/UL_K00G_WW_11_2_1_22.zip

I was tested it 1 hour ago - OK.

My reflashing steps are:

1. Have 39.3 with root on Fonepade.

2. Go to DROIDBOOT mode, connect USB cable, run Minimal ADB and Fastboot and make step by step:

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

Rename 37.2 (no have 39.3 with me) to update.zip, rut it among fastbot.exe and make:

fastboot flash update update.zip

3. After flashing and rebooting I made Check updates from Fonepad settings menu - comes update to 39.3 (6.1 MB)

4. Confirm update, install, reboot - have clean untouched 39.3 not-rooted.

5. Remove SIMcard and SDcard.

6. Put downloaded from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5eed2a133f07/UL_K00G_WW_11_2_1_22.zip on Fonepad internal memory, in root folder.

7. Fonepad say me about new update, I confirm updating and wait finishing.

8. It's all :D

Thank you, I got it too!

I had to try some times, but finally it worked (Fonepad v 11.2.1.22).

It worked with airplane mode activated, removing the sd card and trying to restart the phone as fast as I could.

Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] lemonsoju:
This worked for me, but it was a long process.

First time, it activated an Asus Demo App which run every 10 seconds, and I started to get frequent crash messages for background apps every 5 seconds.

Rebooted to recovery (as the phone was unusable) and had to wipe - then I couldn't get past device initialisation because the app again kept running.

When I did get past initialisation (not even sure how I did), it had all sorts of demo accounts set up - as if the machine had been set as a demo machine.

I copied latest firmware to SD card and put in the phone - it detected it and reinstalled the system. But after installing, it still had the app running.

From a Chinese website, I found some post about root failing and needing to run "adm shell pm clear com.asus.livedemoservice". Did that, but the app still runs. And it reinstalled the demo email accounts.

I then found an Asus website about deactivating the demo - www*asus*com/microsite/demo/Demo2.0Sop.htm - which eventually triggered a removal of the app and a system restore. Finally, after about 4 hours my phone seemed to be running "normal" again.

A sucker for punishment, I decided to run the root app again. Again, it tried to run the demo app - but this time after reboot, I found I had root and there was no demo app running. The phone was running incredibly slowly though and I did get some new demo accounts set up which I had to delete, but they stayed deleted this time.

The moral of the story - if you get hit by the demo app, you can probably skip to that Asus website and deactivate it. However until I have my phone running for a few days to confirm it's running at normal speed and there's not funny business (weird apps or crashes) I'm still wary about it.
[General Questions and Answers] verandi:
The first time I tried I had a force close of Asus Demo app, but didn't have any other issue after rebooting. Maybe other force closes, but I was still rooting-rebooting.

Download the latest 1.4.5r, just go to Root>ZenFone 6 then select the latest root.apk

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Those who get the Asus Demo app running,

To avoid it:

Before rooting process, go into airplane mode, and delete all available wifi connection you got, just then you press root in the app. The rooting process take less then 7 sec. After root success, reboot your phone immediately!! You will notice your wifi has been turn on and downloading process is running after press root button, just restart your phone so to prevent Asus demo kit be downloaded..you can delete asus demo account in the Account section after reboot done.

To those that already get Asus demo running:

Shut down your phone, boot into DroidBoot ( volume Up + power button ) then wipe/factory reset, this will reset all of your previous data on the phone, include system data, internal storage, ect..then you can start rooting process following above procedure..

Asus have a site at( http://www.asus.com/microsite/demo/ ), if following the site, the demo kit can be uninstall if we did registered with asus for the demo kit, but the case now is the rooting process simply triggered our phone to download the demo kit and did not register. So we cannot delete the demo kit from phone unless we factory reset our phone..

how to down grade fonepad note 6

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Now I'm using ASUS Fonepad Note 6 Firmware: V10.16.1.39.3 (for JP SKU version only) then I would like to downgrade to V10.16.1.28.10 for root.
