Interesting, well I tried using Cydia Impactor to create the driver and then ran Kingo again. This time I let it run till it gave me the "Root Failed" message...which took about 10minutes and two reboots of the tablet. Before this I figured the program was stuck in a loop since it seemed to be looping the same messages over and over. Must have just been trying a lot of different exploits? Either way I just sent the log file off to Kingo along with some other details. Hopefully that helps?

Also the person who rooted the Nextbook 8 I realized is who I quoted earlier in the thread as saying "Nextbook almost never provides any software updates or after sale support..." and if you read that linked thread on freaktab he also says this on the same thread..

Heres to hoping that changes :o can't hurt to reach out to him though ? Reading through that thread they seem to be unaware that there is a confirmed fix for the memory leak. Maybe that would peak interest

Any news about the FW update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whaevr:
Well apparently SRSRoot supports this tablet now?

However, I ran it today and this was my log

Great! Except right after it says "Rooting Complete!" The device reboots a third time and...there appears to be no root present on the device when it boots back up :(...In fact clicking the "UnRoot Device" button gave me this log

So perhaps it worked at one point? Doesn't seem to work now unless I'm missing a step or something...anyone know of a way to contact the people behind SRSRoot?

edit:

I had allow install from unknown sources checked and obviously had usb debugging enabled when I tried this aswell, just to throw it out there

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minnemike81:
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd love to get this thing rooted...and maybe custom fw?

I also found this thread. Does this work for root on this tablet?

Intel Android Devices Root / Temp CWM Session by social-design-concepts
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whaevr:
Nope. :\

Redownloaded SRSRoot today and ran as they seem to update it pretty regularly. Now my log came out to this

This time around it used the exploit "root8" and as you can see from the timestamps things went a lot quicker this time. All under a minute.

BUT. Same ****; device reboots and I have no supersu app in drawer, I clicked "unroot device" button gives me this

I also noticed that this tablet has encryption enabled...do we need to disable that first for this to work? Is that what I'm doing wrong here? It would make sense if the filesystem/data is encrypted on the tablet the program would be unable to place the files on the system but, you would think it would tell me if that was the case?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _synack_:
ya, its encrypted right out of the box with no option (as far as i can tell) of disabling.

I picked up one for myself as well as one for my mom, and one for my mother-in-law for mothers day. The tablet seems to be decent for the price. If it had 2GB ram and 32GB rom it would be awesome.

As far as basic tasks and games it is fine though. I also would love root access. I'll begin searching as well...

You can permanently flash the Ares 8 twrp to the Ares 11, touch selection won't work but if you boot recovery with the keyboard cover attached you can just used the trackpad/mouse to make selections. Just did this so I could flash the latest xposed framework v75 on mine and everything worked great. Updated from v65 -> v75 and make sure to clear cache/dalvik just like you should anytime you flash xposed.

If anyone does this and can't figure out how to move the slider to confirm a flash, you just need to double click the button with the trackpad then you should be able to drag it

Hello all I'm late to the game but nvr hurts to try to get more insight. If any one has made a step-by-step for rooting the nextbook ares 11.6 hybrid NXA116QC164 I believe is the model.. Could you post the link in the forum? I have been trying to root this tablet for a week now and I have not been able to. I have everything downloaded I believe, I will just need to know the exact steps. I would love to get this right the first time. I have a Windows PC running Win 10 and it can dual boot into Ubuntu 15.10. I really appreciate any how-to guides if anyone has made one. Thank you thank you! :D

FYI If it helps I have read this forum discussion and have not fully understood how people have rooted this tablet. Im a noob lol. OK thank you to all who will help!

Has anyone done anything with the Nextbook Flexx 11? Is the hardware identical? The Flexx offers 2GB DDR3 compared to the 1GB in the Ares. Just curious if I would be able to install the Ares Android dump to the Flexx. Any idea?

Does anyone know where I can find the Ares stock ROM to try it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowdyrocket:
If the hardware is the same then there's a good chance that the Area has an empty memory slot.

I would gladly bump the RAM by another 1GB if there's an empty slot. Anyone crack the case to look at the hardware yet?

Hi I'm new to the rooting world as I have only rooted my phone which is a LGMS500 with help of course. I was wondering and or hoping that you might be able to help and or guide me to the right person or link to be able to root my tablet that I just bought. Its the nextbook Ares 11 nxa116qc164. I have read all of the posts about the tablet and I'm still confused on how to root it and no one I know can help besides turning me to your forums. So here I am lol in hopes that you or someone might be willing to help unconfuse this girl in rooting her tablet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Nextbook Ares 11

I have two of these on is rooted and boot_noencrypt and memoryleak fixed

the second one is Bricked no os installed would it be possible to take the twrp back up and the working unit and apply it to the bricked one somehow?

or to use adb push command the system files on to the tablet? are there any windows system drivers for this table?

any advice would be great

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkapediA:
Why Yes You Can, Maybe

I had the same thing. What I did was a full TWRP back-up of everything off of the one good Ares. After doing a full back-up you need to copy the TWRP backup to an sd card. *IMPORTANT PART*Once equipped with the backup and ready to put it on sd card. You must change the Folder Name that contains the back-up. I do believe it is just a serial #. Baytrail16A082E5 Was mine. One of the drawbacks is that if your other device is bricked and you can't get to TWRP., looks like you have one pretty sweet cheap quad core tablet and a Frisbee.

has anyone tried ubuntu touch ? if so where are the instructions when i had it in fastboot mode i seen that the bootloader was unlocked
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampirefo:
The thing is you went backwards, 5.1 is faster than 5, It's well known 5 has a memory leak.

Going from 5 to 5.1 makes a lot of sense going from 5.1 to 5 doesn't. I will have to check but as far as I know the ares doesn't have 5.1.

As far as running Linux you can, but without touch screen, you need a mouse and USB keyboard.

Anyway good luck.

Edit.

Just checked 11A does come with 5.1,

I wished you would have made a backup, first could have done some good ports with that ROM, for both Ares 11 and Ares 8
