Now that you know more about your device, let's root it. But before we begin;
DISCLAIMER: I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THIS TUTORIAL, YOU ARE ACCEPTING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY HARM THAT MAY COME TO YOUR DEVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BRICKING YOUR DEVICE.
There, now we got the legal out of the way, let's begin.
A few prerequisites:
a) Make sure your tablet is fully charged
b) You will need internet connection for the first part (obviously)
c) A USB cable
d) All drivers for your device installed on your computer.
Find out how to do that at here
Oh, this will work only with a windows PC, as I have not yet found the MAC OS X version of the tool. I will update when I find it.
[EDIT AS OF 6TH-08-2014]
Go to this thread for the new more established tool, Kingo Android Root (It's in English)
Else continue this guide to use the chinese Vroot, which also works well.
[/EDIT]
The process is as follows
1) Enable USB debugging in your developer settings. If developer options is not available, follow this link to find out how to get it
2)Download the tool from here
Now we begin the real 'work'
3) Open the tool (it'll be in .exe form)
It will run an update to a newer version, restart itself, then update databases, at which point it will restart again
4) Connect your device via usb to your computer
If you've followed all the steps correctly till now, it should detect your device and show you that it has done so.
5) Hit the root button
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS
6) The tab should now reboot.
7) At this point you can go into play store and install superuser or super su
Find out the differences between those two here
Vroot installs its own root manager app, Kinguser, so they aren't really necessary.
That's it, you're rooted!
Optional:
You may download Root Checker just to make sure you're rooted
Please remember to hit the thanks button if this helped you.
