Shadeclan foun this on another forumn. i have tested this methos and it worked flawlessly. do not waste your time with apps. they will ruin your tablet. tested on latest version android 5.0 to date.

Method Update

After much work, I finally rooted my ME176CE/K013C with Android 5.0 that I received in the beginning of December 2016. Basically, I was able to do it with the instructions from

asus.com/zentalk/thread-24309-1-1.html but the link for the ADB drivers are outdated. While there is a link to the original source of this method in this thread, I could not get any of the links to work. I finally tracked down a somewhat updated article.

I would post all the links here but, unfortunately, I'm new and the forum rules prevent me from doing that. I'll put down as much of the link as I can - a Google search should bring it up. If the locations I've posted become broken, a search for "ZenFoneRootKit*.zip" and "ADB drivers" should bring up the proper files. One of the neat things about this method is it, apparently, can be done from a Linux machine!

FYI: I scanned all downloaded files with Avira Antivirus and found them clean.

It says that it's only for ZenFone 5 but it worked great on my ME176CE! On reviewing this thread, it seems like using root methods that are only supposed to be used on some other device is the fate of this poor tablet.

Quote:

A one-click root method is available for ZenFone 5 to help advanced users who are looking for a guide to gain root access after the Android Lollipop upgrade which Asus released recently with software version 3.23.40.52.

Key points

The following root method is applicable for ZenFone 5 T00F/T00J WW models only. Do not use this on any other device.

Ensure that you have created a backup of all the data of your phone, as the root method is likely to wipe out everything.

Note that rooting the device will void the manufacturer's warranty.

The battery of the phone should have at least 80% charge, to avoid any sudden shut down due to lack of power, which could damage the device.
