I've tried all rooting apps as well as some Chinese one clicks and nothing can root it. I've also tried adb methods to manually push su to system and it just won't take it

I'm in the same boat, would love to be able to restore some of my programs on here... I've tried all the root methods out there, including towelroot... No dice, thanks in advance if anyone figures this one out

Root Sero 8

I'm in the same boat, would love to be able to restore some of my programs on here... I've tried all the root methods out there, including towelroot... No dice, thanks in advance if anyone figures this one out

I have been looking for a root method as well. I tried RootGenius, KingORoot, and UNRoot Pro to no avail. I kept searching, and ran across this method, but was unable to get it to work. Perhaps someone here can figure out how to make it work.

I cant post the actual link, so here is the site: freaktabDOTcom/showthread.php?15109-Hisense-Sero-8-RileyROM-1-0

Please let me know if you get this to work. Or have found another way to gain Root. Thanks

I can verify, after MUCH trial and error, that RileyROM IS working. I posted my woes and found solution on the freaktab forum here : freaktab DOT com/showthread.php?15109-Hisense-Sero-8-RileyROM-1-0

I finely got it to work and now have root. The whole key was to do the manual PWR / VOL+ then Win 7 x64 loaded the rockchip drivers and the tablet was found then followed the rest of the root process.

Thank you for explaining this.:laugh:

Turn on your tablet, once it boots, plug in your USB cable. Then goto settings and uncheck USB Debugging.
Exit out of settings, then turn off the tablet. Leave your USB cable plugged in.

Hold the Volume up+ and power button at the same time, about 3-4 Seconds you see the screen say FASTBOOT, or just flash, (you can let go of the VOL/PWR Buttons Now) and your PC should start loading the rockchip drivers. Just follow the rest of the guide at freaktab to get Root.

Good luck.

Vroot 1.7.7 works with the Samsung Galaxy Tab SM-T230NU...but the trick is to not allow it to auto update to 1.7.8. You've got to install it...disconnect your wifi or Ethernet ...run Vroot 1.7.7... Then reconnect to internet and try rooting....if someone can give this a shot, it might be helpful

Here's the link for Vroot 1.7.7

The version of cwm I got works great. I even flashed a boot animation and a gapps package just to try. I would love a version of cm on here.

It took me a little bit to get this rooted, their instructions aren't very thorough. I had to download the TWRP package and run the driver install tool inside it to get the drivers installed. After that it went just like the instructions.

Hey, i´ve got the Hisense Sero 8 Pro, is it the same Tablet like here? I didn`t get the drivers to work and google said the Chipset of the 8 Pro is RK3288 . Is it Possible to root this one with this Methode too? When i plug in to Win7 without anything on the Power and Volume up button (volume up is a Softwarebutton) then Windows says it´s an F5281 (hope this info can help)

Lollipop?

Any chance of getting Android 5.1 on these tabs? I have no problems with rooting.

No way, They're not responding to my emails. I broke my power connector. It will be a while to get it replaced. My old hands are not steady enough to handle an iron.

 

[SirDigitalKnight]

Yea, I sent HiSense an email asking them about upgrades and it was never answered.

I take it there is no root 5.1 rom someone created we can run on it either?

Hi, I've just got a Hisense Sero 8 tablet, I've rooted stuff before but having no luck. I've tried a few mothods on here, but when I set up debugging it never asks my to authorise my computer. I've installed the rock chip drivers from one of your links, power and volume up doesn't load boot loader or fast boot. Really struggling here. The usb debugging not asking me to allow my pc is an odd one. Any ideas on getting this device rooted and a rom installed that allows me to move stuff to my sd card??
