Just in case you failed on the prosses and forgot to replace superuser files and found Kinguser apps installed.

try to download latest root genius.

http://www.shuame.com/en/root/

I think its more friendly gui (english ver :D)

next step still same. just dont forget to replace superuser files.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0p8vlc8d787trer/mod Superuser.rar?dl=0

dont try to install SuperSU coz the binary files (su) is different.

you wont able to mount sd card.
[Asus Fonepad 7] first$last:
Success

:good::good::

Finally DONE!!! after a long and fruitless attempts, and

thanks to woshiren, his "trick" made it!!! I managed to get the desired root.

and thanks also to indonesian friends at Chodirin blog Cara Root Asus Fonepad 7 FE170CG (K012)

Anyhow, I had noticed that when I was interrupted at 73%, su was already installed in system \ bin and xbin but his version is not modded.-
[Asus Fonepad 7] armanke13:
Try Link2SD if you haven't, my favorite root app after Titanium Backup. It involves partitioning SD card and "linking" apps data instead of native App2SD method.
[Asus Fonepad 7] woshiren:
i had link2sd. but link2sd cannot mount the obb file

so thats why i need foldermount.
[Asus Fonepad 7] armanke13:
Confirmed working method. Thanks guys..

[Asus Fonepad 7] warok88:
after trying a hundreed times, i give up.. waiting for better method.. this sh*t just make me headache

Hha, I've been there, dude..
[Asus Fonepad 7] farshiiid:
u can install gl to sd app & give it root access, go to the app and chose move data, it will show u the apps that have data, then u select them and move data to your microsd, but u have to only play the games from gl to sd by click on play icon.

good luck.

[Asus Fonepad 7] JulianJenner:
It's very slow method.

The phone rebooted "a thousand times"...

But it not works for me!

I hope it will be...
[Asus Fonepad 7] Manoma:
mine also rebooted several times and failed at first try.

but after tried for the second time, it get rooted with only once restart.
[Asus Fonepad 7] JulianJenner:
I tried 4 times (2 with Chinese, 2 with English) .

Plug the phone, enable debugging.

Install all drivers.

Replace files on temp folder.

Press Root button.

I do not know, why not success.

I don't give up.

I worded poorly.

Some success.

Root ran twice successfully or so it seemed

SuperSU Icon appears

But if I run this, it indicate binary update is necessary.

I click OK to normal mode.

Unfortunately, the update will not be realized.

xposted installer not working on my tab. tab wll stuck on boot logo after restart. any other is facing same problem?

reply..
[Asus Fonepad 7] r_HIV:
Same for me... Don't work.
[Asus Fonepad 7] woiczi.d:
again, how to...

Guys, I´ve done it 5 times already. it works fine. I try to explain how i did:

1. Downloaded all files (incl drivers)

2. Unlock developer options (go to settings -> About -> Software information, now touch a few times on "Build number" till u see the msg that u r developer now)

3. Plug the phone and installed all drivers (device manager detected as "K012" without the exclamation mark.)

4. enable USB debugging in developer options (go to settings -> developer options -> turn on USB debugging)

5. If necessary, install ADB Driver

6. now open root genius.exe and start it -> it will run till abt 73% (takes a lot time and a few reboots)

7. at 73% it will stop, now unplug and replug the phone (do not close the root program). You`ll see the "failed" screen (two buttons and a "sad" android)

8. open task manager windows and find shuame helper.exe on processes tab. right click then find location

9. go to folder superuser delete all files and extract mod superuser.rar in superuser folder

10. back to root genius and click ROOT button on the left, device will reboot once. mostly rooting will be done within one minute

11. after 100% or done, install superuser.apk

this is the way I´ve done it, and it worked fine for me. (win7-64)

BTW:

- after installing latest update, it will overwrite root and you have to root it again.

- xposed will not work and brick yr device (if it is bricked, just launch recovery and do a factory reset)

- after factory reset, root will not be wiped off
[Asus Fonepad 7] Xerc:

important is, that u do step 9. on right time, this is the whole secret. in case it wont work, try to copy files right after start rooting process. let me know, when you succeed
[Asus Fonepad 7] dark.blue:
its work for me after two times [the first is failed -stuck at about 67%-]

this is what i have done: [after download all the necessary items]

first attempt:

1. usb debugging enabled

2. connect the phone to the pc [ its auto install -downloading- the driver ]

3. open the RootGenius.exe

4. check the device, the RootGenius need approval to connect [1st time only]

5. replace all the file in superuser folder with ModSuperUser files

-open task manager windows and find shuame helper.exe on processes tab. right click then find location

-go to folder superuser delete all files and extract mod superuser.rar in superuser folder

6. click the root button.

7. wait [the phone will reboot several times]

8. then its kind of stuck on 67% proccess. [ i waited for almost 20 minutes on 67% ]

9. unplug the usb and plug it again [ DON'T close the RootGenius ]

10. somehow its finished it self.

the i download the rootchecker, it said my device is not rooted.

Second Attempt:

1. installed SuperUser CWM

2. connect phone

3. open RootGenius

4. Replace files in the superuser folder with files in Mod Superuser

-open task manager windows and find shuame helper.exe on processes tab. right click then find location

-go to folder superuser delete all files and extract mod superuser.rar in superuser folder

5. click Root.

6. just in 5 minutes its done

7. check root via root checker [needs superuser approval]

8. Its Rooted.

:) :) :)

hope this help.

đã root thành công

đã root được rồi nha ! có gi liên hệ mình hienhauloc123@gmail.com

-Công cụ cần thiết:

-Một máy tính chạy win 7

- IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.1.5.zip (không cài được trên win 8 , 8.1)

- Rootgenius

- Mod superuser

- Superuser.apk

Thực hiện:

1.Tải các công cụ cần thiết trên về máy tính,

-trên fonepad :

*mở chế độ gỡ lỗi usb ( Cài đặt > Tùy chọn nhà phát triển > Gỡ lỗi usb.

*cho phép cài đặt nguồn không xác định(Cài đặt > Bảo mật > Không rõ nguồn gốc(chọn))

*bỏ chọn xác minh ứng dụng (Cài đặt > Bảo mật >xác minh ứng dụng)

sau đó là cài driver (IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.1.5.zip) cho pc và mtb nhận nhau...

2.tắt antivirut trên máy tính

Mở Rootgenius.exe trên máy tính và để nguyên như vậy , cắm cáp usb kết nối mtb với máy tính ... tiếp sang bước kế tiếp . ..

3. Mở Task Manager và tìm shuame_helper.exe trong tab processes, click chuột phải (shuame_helper.exe) tìm vị trí của nó trên pc (thường thì nó nằm trong %temp% như sau C:\Users\XM\AppData\Local\Temp\RootGenius)...

4. Tại vị trí shuame_helper.exe (C:\Users\MTN\AppData\Local\Temp\RootGenius), bạn mở thư mục Superuser và xóa sạch file trong đó, sau đó bạn giải nén Mod superuser, và chép tất cả file trong Mod superuser vào lại thư mục Superuser...

5. Quay lại Rootgenius lúc nãy bạn đã mở sẳn và nhấn Root....

6. Sau qua trình Root thành công, thì bạn cài vào mtb superuser.apk đã download ở trên...

*Lưu ý :

nên update fimware của fonepad nên ver mới nhất trước khi root .

Trong quá trình Root, nếu bị treo ở 63% hay 73%, trên MTB bạn vào droidboot ( nhấn tổ hợp phím Vol+ và Power) chọn Factory Reset, và thực hiện lại tuần tự các bước trên. Mình làm một lần failed, và sau khi Factory Reset thì thành công.

- check sau khi root

Is rooting a stock rom same as rooting a kitkat rom?
[Asus Fonepad 7] shariqx:
Downgrade

I am not happy with the new KitKat firmware, facing some issues as follows:

1)Cannot install big games, shows no sufficient space on external even though I have 15GB+ space free on my SD.

2) Playstore suddenly started showing "No connection", tried clearing cache, data etc. didn;t work out.

so, now I want to downgrade until the stable firmware is out, how can I do that?

I am downloading the JellyBean firmware from the Asus site, but it reads " downgrade is not possible"

any ideas?

andd... is the rooting method working for KitKat? cuz if so, half of my problems will be solved.
[Asus Fonepad 7] Sgherbis:
Well, i know that KitKat don't allow to put app on SD card. About other problems i suggest to do a factory reset after every big update. Unfortunately i haven't received the update so i can't help you more.
[Asus Fonepad 7] shariqx:
Thanks.

alright, I didnt know that KitKat doesn't allow that, And I must say, that's a sad thing.

but, if we could manage to root it then we could easily link apps to SD. Please confirm a rooting method that works for KitKat firmware.

Nearly there

Hello all,

With the steps given here I finally managed. I started off with the english version of Root Genius, and it also got stuck at 71%. I then wanted to replace themodified files, but the english version has no superuser folder as expected. I tried with the chinese verion linked here, and that worked as described.

I was also able to install the apk provided, but it then says that su has to be updated, and this update fails. I also tried SuperSU with a similar issue.

RootGenius reports device rooted.

Did I miss something?

Thanks!

SD Card Problem

After updating to Kitkat, my SD Card broke. It keeps on popping "SD Card unexpectedly removed" then it will remount back then after several minutes (locked then unlocked), it will pop again the same problem. :(
[Asus Fonepad 7] danievora03:
Yes same thing happen to me...its not even rooted yet.

I have already reported to myAsus (Asus support) just now...waiting for them to reply...is it a bug? i am worried my SD will get corrupted due to frequent unmount and mount process..

And also if you guys noticed after upgrade to kitkat, u cant download anything straight to the SD, it has to be downloaded into the internal, then only you move it to SD (using es or something)..

anyone out there with the same problem?

[Asus Fonepad 7] zanvalzan:
Try to do a factory reset (settings > backup & reset > factory data reset). That will solve problem with error popup messages. Then you can try to root fone using that apk. Don't forget to backup your contacts and important data before you do factory reset.
