K01a 5.0 root!!! :d :d :d

[ZeeColo]

Hey guys!

I hope this is the right place and format for this post and I hope it comes in handy, I've tested this method on two (2) K01A's and can confirm it works.

Came across some instructions on a japanese forum to root Version WW_12.8.1.33 (5.0 Lollipop) on the K01A!

Download (ZenFoneRootKit_20150614.zip (by shakalaca)) - (I'm below ten posts and can't post links)

I'm running windows 7 with Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed, I unzipped the file to its installation directory
- (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)

Check that your tablet is running 12.8.1.33 in Settings -> About

If it is, go back into C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and double click on 'root.bat'

A command display appears with the words 'Press any key' so go ahead and do that and sit back.

Your K01A will reboot into fastboot and run some flashing commands and then reboot itself.

Viola, You have root and SuperSu installed!!

I've recently pulled my K01A out of storage for a new project. After updating to 5.0 I realized all the root options wouldn't work. Followed your directions and BOOM....root is active. Thanks!!

perfect!

Worked like a charm on my Asus Memo Pad 7 ME70CX with sw version 12.8.1.33
Thank you!
Now I'm going to remove all useless bloatware pre-installed

People!

To those above that have successfully rooted a K01A:

Please attach a working copy of ZenFoneRootKit_20150614.zip , and /or post the "hash" (MD5, etc) of the zip you used.

My tab is now running WW_MeMO_Pad-12.8.1.41-20151112 (5.0 Lollipop) after updating my firmware from 4.4.2. It was not rooted after the update/upgrade and I thought I could try your guide... Unfortunately, it didn't work... Is there any way that I could root my ASUS MEMO PAD 7 K01A with this firmware? Thanks in advance!

If you find a way to root that OS version tell me.

My KO1A is no longer a paper weight. Thank you.

 

[Kiggerbare]

Thanks.

Worked like a charm on my MeMO Pad, it's a K017 with the WW_12.8.1.33 update.

 

[infirno77]

Any chance at an aokp, aosp, or dirty unicorn rom? Would be sick then.

I have this firmware :
WW_MeMO_Pad-12.8.1.41-20151112
does anyone know if this procedure works well with this update? Thanks.

I have successfully rooted my MP7 running WW_MeMO_Pad-12.8.1.41-20151112 using this guide.

1. Download and install Asus PCLink for the drivers: http://liveupdate01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/ZenFone/APP/LinkRim/PCLinkSetup.exe
2. Open PCLink and make sure your device is detected and connects. Close PCLink once connected.
3. Download and extract ZenFoneRootKit_20150614: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B936USMlQhtKbmZLZDE3N1JMazA/view
4. Open CheckBeforeAction.bat from the extracted ZenFoneRootKit. If you get the confirmation that you're good to root, your device will reboot to bootloader and reboots again. Wait for it to "fully" boot.
5. Run Root.bat
6. MemoPad 7 is now rooted. :victory:

Ok i have try in my K01A with the last update of Android 5.0 and work, is possible install Xposed? iI have see any video of installation with Terminal, anyone have try?

 

[UntouchedWagons]

How are you getting 5.0? Whenever I try to do a system update on my K01A it says that 4.4.2 is the latest version.

If your already rooted on your current firmware, it probably won't show up.
I found out about the update online, wiped my tablet to factory, system update came through, took less than 20 minute's to install then I rerooted with this method

You could also just download the 5.0 rom from the Asus website, copy it to your sd card and rename it to k01a_sdupdate.zip, reboot to recovery and update manually.

Hope this helps!

I did a full wipe so I could install 5.0, but when I try to do a system update it says my system is up-to-date. What the hell?

That's really weird, maybe try the manual method?

 

[UntouchedWagons]

Could you post a direct link to where I can download the update?
