I was having the same issue with vroot 1.7.7 auto updating I went as far as to do a system restore on my of to delete vroot and unplugged
the modem. Huge thanks for this guide shinyside.

Despite kind of clumsily clicking through, I managed to get her rooted/Verified with root checker from the Play store/Installed Titanuim Backup pro and froze a ton of useless apps - Runs fine and kind of nice to be able to freeze things. I did disconnect the wifi connection from my pc before I did the install of VRoot and I never had an issue FYI.

 

[tecfan69]

it failed. I tried several times. Can you guys help?

when connecting the tab it takes 10 minutes to establish the usb connection. after clicking the root button it takes another 10 minutes. meanwhile the chinese app shows a green field the a blue field and so on.

can you guys confirm that behaviour? thanks.

 

[Drvaggensberg]

Hey guys! Does anyone knows how to swap internal sdcard with external sdcard?

 

[raitchison]

Question regarding the part with this

su (then grant it su permission")
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

Is that literally what I type?

You need to be a little more specific and what step you're on.

Mine said file not found too on the last step and then rebooted but it turned out that it was rooted after it rebooted.

 

[modunlocker]

I figured it out. I goofed hah! Its straightend out now and its rooted lol. I look forward to the custom roms soon! Now i need a recovery or bootloader. Whichever name is more prefrenced.

root issue

So I accidently updated and ran 1.78 file as opposed disconnecting my Internet and run 1.7.7. It was successful but i am getting su not found when running from android emulator terminal. Am I screwed to fix this? I did factory default tablet not it doesn't update 1.7.7 anymore..I could not understand the Chinese wording but clicking on green button it doesn't update like I saw finished when I did it on 1.7.8 version. When I rebooted, i checked root checker of course it's not rooted. Can anybody assist me?

 

[Faulker]

I ran this root, which went well...random question, will the root hold if I do the system updates? I know some do, some don't. Figured I should ask before updating at all. If it won't hold, do we have a source for the updates?

 

[mustangforlife23]

so i have vroot 1.7.7 but still get the bluescreeen with a x meaning its not successful what am i doing wrong?

I kept, having the same problem, it's because of the August update.

You need to revert to the previous update. You can go to sammobile dot com and get the previous firmware for your tablet. Get the latest firmware that does not have Kies. Instructions for how to install it onto your tablet are on sammobile. You'll use Odin 3.09, and once you've flashed the previous frimware, turn off any wifi connection on your tablet so that it doesn't re-update. Then root using the method in this forum and you should be good.
