mmhhh quite risky ... many users reported that updates went through without confirmation !

This is indeed very good news !

Many thanks
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] tanker32:
I can confirm it's working!

Rooted as in first post!

Got some problem with Intel drivers, but when the system said "uknown device" I just choose by hand install from the computer and problem solved!

Super Su installed from Google Play store, then Lucky Patcher and so on...

Thanks again! Now I'm looking for custom rom... :cool:

P.S. Model P022 is Asus ZenPAD 8 (380c) and P023 is Asus ZenPAD 10 (300c) !!!
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] gianni253:
I rooted my z300c too, and everything has gone smooth.

'Cause the current lack of custom recovery (TWRP, CWM), right after rooting, I also took a complete ROM dump in case it might be needed in the future (bricks, bootloops etc. etc.).

Many thanks to all involved
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] roscos:
If interested, I installed mod recovery-z300c.img (post 83 page 9) with Flashify
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] gianni253:
But this recovery is only to restore, not to backup ... correct ?
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] roscos:
You're probably right.

I checked and actually failed to install the recovery mod.

I confused the device

I do not know if there is a recovery for our tablet

I'm sorry

Merry Christmas
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] gianni253:
It's ok roscos ...

Sadly, we don't have a custom recovery yet, so we have to backup with apps such as Titanium Backup (for "file/app based backup) or using command "dd" (for memory block backup, that takes a lot of space ...)

I wish a Merry Christmas to all xda-developers friends !

How to root Z300M? (Mediatek chipset)

Hi all,

I just received Asus ZenPad 10 Z300M.

I've read all the thread and a couple of times someone asked how to root it but without answer.

If I use the procedure in post #45

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65188654&postcount=45

will I brick my tablet or not?

Asus zenpad 8 z380c

Hi,

I am new to forums and this is first device i am rooting.

I have problem that when i run command

fastboot devices

i get nothing. I followed instructions to the point and on 2 PCs running windows 10. ADB tool does see my device.

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Eboshi Moriyama:
Hi, is the tablet in fastboot mode? If adb is working try this: with tablet on and connected to pc, you have to open command line and type: adb reboot fastboot, then press enter. Also you have to enable "usb debug" before connect it to pc.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] gianni253:
Drivers problem ... I bet you have yellow question mark (unknown device) in device manager.

Fastboot and ADB use different drivers so you have to install both
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Viljeri:
ok, ill try suggestions now. What do i google to find drivers for fastboot? Do i look for like "fastoot drivers asus zenpad 8 z380c"?

Ill let you know the results.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Eboshi Moriyama:
Sorry but I do not use Windows, I use linux, so it's easiest. Yes I think you should google it, read this:

Ok i tried to enter: "adb reboot fastboot@" and i got "device not found"

DO NOT UPGRADE ANDROID !

It would result in bootloop ...

One thing now you can do (and I recommend to do): nandroid backup
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] andreoide:
There is no reason to root I can think off for the tablet because there is no firmware other than Asus stock fw available. No Xposed no nothing. Not even custom recovery wich makes chance of looking at a bricked unrecoverable tablet even higher..

Learn to live with the Asus bloat w�re I would say.

Reading the total post the risk of ending with a bricked tablet is very high so I personally would not root it

I am sorry to bother you, but why shouldn't i install apks downloaded from web? Are stuff that bad outside of xda?
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Eboshi Moriyama:
Most of the apk you find on web are malware! Be very careful to install those, at least you are really sure that aren't malware or viruses. And don't update android version before removing root, or you'll could have a bootloop.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Viljeri:
Is there some anitmalware program i can use to make sure that the app is good to go?

I use Avast mobile security but I never installed apk downloaded out of the xda forum. Avast scans automatically new installed apps, but there is always a risk. Why do you want to install apk?
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] andreoide:
Maybe there is.. Just Google. ..

My bet would be Malwarebytes.

But even legit apps have some kind of " malware " like I have an app compass wich uses the sensors in my phone... Why would that app need rights to have insight to my contacts. I disabled it and still working fine.

And that app came from Google play store!

What I want to say is.... outside xda or playstore you never really can be sure.

[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Emil Borconi:
Wow... Nice comment... What can i say really you nailed it, it's the perfect t that k you for that who shared with us how to get root access telling him why do you need it in the first place.... Congratulations....

I see your information is also accurate on what is root and what we use it for.... Please tell me how does having or not having root on your phone enables you to flash or not flash a firmware to it?

Root can be used for loads of things, to gain access and do operations in the tablet that are normally not permitted, like enabling aeroplane mode from a script, disable or even uninstall bloatware, tweak the settings and so on.

Please do not post missleading information, people trust XDA and trust senior members on XDA so please make sure that you post accurate and correct information not just slam something out there.... And a thank you to the person who shared the info is usually a polite thing to do.

Can't get past Step 4 of procedure. Prior to start of procedure, I installed Intel Android drivers. In Step 3, I said YES to adb and fastboot and NO to drivers. After Step 3, I verified that I could see tablet using command: "adb devices". At start of Step 4, I used command: "adb reboot fastboot" to put tablet in fastboot. Tablet display said it was successful. Command: "fastboot devices" returned nothing, just the next command prompt. Any guidance would be helpful.

Fastboot state requires different (additional) drivers. While in fastboot state you should check your windows pc device manager and install missing drivers.

Drivers setup has been quite problematic to me too (WinXp) ....

Both commands lead to same result on tablet; i.e. display that says tablet is in fastboot mode. Using your suggestion did not resole my root problem. But, thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Checked device manager while in fastboot mode. I have "Other Devices" and under that "Unknoiwn Device". "Unknown Device" gives two indications under "Properties". (1) "Currently this hardware device is not connected to the computer (Code 45)" and (2) "The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). I clicked to update driver and searched both online and in intel driver folder in program folder on computer. No success in either case! I truly do not know how to proceed.

Roll back to previous build Z300c

Have successfully rooted my Z300c. SW build is P023-WW-v4.7.5. I want to roll back to a previous build (P023-WW-v4.7.3).
