Rooting the A700

---

Hi there. I just want to get things up and running in this forum ;)

Since the rooting method described by ZeroNull was also working on the A510 and the A510 is quite similar to the A700 there might be a good chance that this also works for the A700.
Don't bother if the device reboots during the hack - the magic should already be done then and root established.

It would be interessting if that works for A700 too.

How to:
1. The tablet should be already upgraded to stock ICS for A100/A101 (or stock ICS A500/A501/A510 for other tablets).
2. Download this archive on the computer. Unpack it to any place.
3, On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on.
4. Сonnect the tablet to the computer (Before connection it is recommended to update the driver for a tablet from here: A10x, A50x, A510).
5. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file: for windows - runit-win.bat; for Linux - runit-linux.sh.
The root is received!
6. Now you will have to install the following programs:
SuperUser APK
Titanium Backup

ATTENTION!
Don't install Busybox! It is already installed and established! If you reinstall it, some programs will become unable to access root permissions!

Change:
The error of final check of receiving root is corrected (The messaging that "root" isn't received, though it was not so)
Support of A510 of tablets is improved

This method uses the 'mempodroid' exploit and some workings out by ZeroNull and vdsirotkin (4pda.ru).

List of rooting versions:
New - ICS_rooting_A10x_A5xx.zip
Old - ICS_rooting.zip

PS: I understand English rather badly, but I'll try to help, if it is necessary.
PS2: Command "Mount ro/rw" for directory /system (partition) - works perfectly!

I tried it yesterday, this method doesn’t work .
Full root for A100, A500 and A510 ICS. Simple method.

Error!

Press any key.

I tried it with the Acer A510 Iconia Tab AIO Toolbox. No root.

we already answered several times, both methods are not working

mempodroid method doesn't work on A700 (fixed kernel I guess)
I used the n95-offsets bin to get the right offsets (0xd9ec 0xaf47) but no success too.

Why are you bothering with this? Just unlock the bootloader and flash kernel with "ro.secure=0" in init ramfs image. Then install "su" and "SuperUser.apk" via adb.

Could you plz be more detailed, understandable for dummies? :)
Best or top of the pop would be an automated script.
Thx

Because some of us wont be able to do kernel compilation. Because some stated that you cannot go back after unlocking. Because some stated that updating stock images might even fail after unlocking... all in all because most people just want a simple method to root without all that risks.
Enough reasons?

I hope root will come shortly.
Android without root - fail
