It seems that you didn't unzip all the files properly, zImage should be with enable_sde.bat and the others in the adb directory.

I already fixed my problem and found the files.. Still no root tho... when the command prompt asks me if I see root or 0, I dont see neither of them.

Strange... Can you post the whole session ?

So my device is a A70 IT2 and was already at 3.2.81 before I attempted to root it.
What I did: I extracted both the 3.2.80 and 3.2.81 .rar files in one folder (overwriting some files of 3.2.80.rar with the ones from 3.2.81). And followed your instructions. (clicked on enable_sde.bat and followed command prompt instructions).
After doing the rooting process, my device freezes when it goes to sleep and I'm forced to do a full reinitialization of my device to fix it.

Once again I do not see root or 0 on my tablet, nor is superuser in my app list.
I have tried to go into recovery with my tablet and see if I could enable the rooted build there, but so far Ive not been able to go into recovery mode via pressing the volume up button during booting.

Please help and thank you for your time

Ps. Im a complete noob at this.

It's ok, you see the root in bold, that's what I meant with the question. I should have added @echo off in batch, it looks a bit messy with windows. Anyway, it's ok. I presume you closed the window after that ?

You should continue the process, or show me remaining part, everything looks fine up to this. It's not finished at this point...

a70it2 volume buttons are somehow messy. Here is the easiest way to get it working:

- Power down tablet, power led should be off.
- Press volume down button and maintain it. It can be vol up or vol down, but volume down is easier to maintain down, at least on mine.
- While maintaining volume down, press power for 2 or 3 seconds, you should see power led goes on. As soon as power led is lighted, let go power button but keep pressing volume down. You should go to recovery in few seconds.

Good luck!

oh yes, sorry forgot to post the part after that:

What should happen after this? Should my device reboot again?
And thanks for helping me get my device into recovery mode

Logs look good, build should be installed.

If you reboot with vol down or vol up, do you see the dual boot menu ?

If you do, just select "Boot developer edition" (or something like that, can't remember exact words), it should start the rooted firmware and you should see superuser app in the list of application.

Ive tried it and it worked. It did take a while tho, before the tablet did the final reboot. Thank you!

I'm getting an odd error, my bat file appears to be nothing like anybody elses:

C:\temp>enable_sde.bat

C:\temp>adb push 1 /data/local/tmp
cannot stat '1': No such file or directory

C:\temp>adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/1
chmod: /data/local/tmp/1: No such file or directory

C:\temp>adb shell /data/local/tmp/1

C:\temp>adb shell sync

C:\temp>adb reboot

C:\temp>echo "wait for tablet to finish first reboot then press enter"
"wait for tablet to finish first reboot then press enter"

I can't see a file called '1' nor does anybody else who has posted have any reference to a file called '1'....

Never mind, it wasn't obvious that both zips had to be downloaded!

I get the menu, choose developer edition but there is no superuser app. If I go into a terminal and do 'su' it says no such command. If I try 'whoami' it says 'unknown uid 10072'. 'adb shell whoami' says 'unknown uid 2000'.

There are no errors during the script.

Hi !

I think you are missing file "1"

C:\temp>adb push 1 /data/local/tmp
cannot stat '1': No such file or directory

or you have not this file "1" in the same directory where is adb command !
( if you have adb in path , than go into directory where is file "1" located and run > adb push 1 /data/local/tmp/
But if you do not have files "1" & "2" , than you can downloaded from here => http://www.modaco.com/topic/347305-a...-root-phase-1/
