Hey Guys

I have bought the asus Fonepad which so far is a great device.
But i can´t find any information onn the internet on how to root it.

Could you use a general root for the padfone or do i have to wait for
a special root.


Thank you

Nice work! Working well. I just flashed on top my previous 3.2.2_ww. Easy and no trouble. (Y)

//EDIT
It seems like its not fully rooted yet, it still not allow me to access RAM. Memory editing fail to gain rootaccess it says.

//EDIT2
RAM access seems like having problem due to x86 & arm difference, not because of the root.

Great news!! Thanks for your hard working!
Could you please release a TW version? because the WW version is not compatible with the TW version.
Thank you very much!!

I'm really glad you were able to crack a root for fonepad users! However when trying to use this firmware update on my TW sku fonepad, it won't let me update to a different version. This is what it says
Code: 
We verify checksum . . . . OK! Start check Image-SKU... 'user' - > need check
Check Image-SKU: "WW_epad' Device-SKU: 'TW_epad' . . . FAIL!!!

Do you have any ideas on how we could either get other models of Fonepad's to switch regions, or how we could root other firmware's raw files?

Hi, thanks for your work.

Does Lucky Patcher work without any problems?
What about 2wcr? is it possible to enable it or implement?
Is it possible to make patch to root system?

Great news, thanks booto00, 'thanks' button pressed.
So, if I'm currently on 3.2.3WW I can still load this right ? I'd just be downgrading but with root. No problems downgrading right ?
thanks again I can finally backup and try removing some of the bloatware..

Great and thanks.

Is it correct 650mb download?

Any chance of md5sums on releases?

Is it best to reset before installing - how do you do this?

Do you need sdcard like instructions say or can you store on internal memory to upgrade?

To be honest ,mine is also samsung micro 32gb 48m/s, it work fine, and one of my friend have same problem like yours, he can't find his card unless restart, it happened every 2~3days, finally asus change him a new one.

here is the advice that you can try, once you lost your card again, check setting-memory to see you got "micro sd" or not,
if no then surely your machine have problem, but if it still exist ,then you can try another card from your friends.

God bless you my bro!

This is great news !!!

Pleased make latest root for TW sku ;)

~~~~~~~~

about the moving apps 2 SD...
AFAIK... APP2SD has always been using the internal SD and never was the external SD..

So... for those that thought they can move their apps/games to the external card are being unrealistic !!

external are only use to stored large medias...etc

your device is partition into 2 parts ...smaller device's memory ( where apps data goes ) & SD card ( android called the INTERNAL as SD card !! and this is the only place you can move apps to....NOT the external card.

example:
My galaxy note-->> 16GB version

factory partitioned into 2 parts...

1st partition-->>2GB-->> this is where apps/games defaults to !!

2nd partition-->>the large leftover which makes up the total of 16GB..etc ( this is what android called your SD card-->> INTERNAL SD and NOT external SD)

my device is rooted and when I moved my data... all I can do is moved to this area ( the larger of the 2 partitions & NOT the external card )

all this does is free up spaces of the smaller partition & that's all you can do so DON'T expect to move apps to the EXTERNAL SD ;)

so... if any of your device(s) comes with only 4GB or 8GB... don't expect to perform the above...etc

P.S... there are a few developments for some devices that are able to SWAP between the INTERNAL & EXTERNAL successfully... when we have that, we can talk.

for example:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1991583

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886091

.... until then..let's worry about getting root on the fonepad successfully first ;)
