I am not a pro at this nor an experienced developer. I hope some of you find this useful![/QUOTE]

This worked flawlessly when I did CSE flash of the .KDZ, but I had trouble when I did a normal flash (so as not to lose my stuff). Ultimately, I did the CSE flash so I could start with a clean slate.

As soon as the tablet rebooted from the reflash (at the very first page of the setup screen) I went into the system settings menu (pull down the notification bar and tap on the settings icon) and allowed USB Debugging and plugged in the cable. This way, the tablet prompted me to allow ADB connections from my laptop BEFORE iROOT ran. I chose to do this because when iROOT first ran, I missed the prompt on the screen and the tablet disallowed ADB so iROOT wouldn't work. With the tablet still on the setup screen, I ran iROOT and let it reboot.

After the reboot, I was still at the setup screen so i skipped the email setup and used an extra Google account (to avoid it trying to restore all of my settings) to allow me to install SuperSUME from the Play Store. After it ran, installed SuperSU and updated the SU binaries and rebooted, I ran SuperSU and used the "Install SuperSU in /system" option from the settings menu. By doing this, I could do a system wipe from the settings menu to remove all of the Kinguser and iROOT crap without having to reinstall SuperSU from the Play store.

Once it rebooted one last time, I let setup run like it was supposed to, plugged in the charger, and let all of my settings and apps download themselves.

I hope this helps!
