For those Tablet S firmware version is not US version, or got the error after execute "adb shell am start -n com.android.vpndialogs/.Term"
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.android.vpndialogs/.Term
	[COLOR="DarkGreen"]Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vpndialogs/.Term }
	Error type 3
	Error: Activity class {com.android.vpndialogs/com.android.vpndialogs.Term} does not exist.[/COLOR]
The VpnFaker.apk is needed to be resign.

Here's the resign method: (Sorry that I don't have my Tablet S on hand today...)
  1. Install "ZipSigner 2" to your tablet. link
  2. On your PC, open VpnFaker.apk by 7zip, delete folder "META-INF"
  3. copy the VpnFaker.apk to /sdcard, rename it
    Code:
    adb push VpnFaker.apk /sdcard/VpnFaker_unsign.apk
  4. Open "ZipSigner 2" on your tablet.
    Press the "Input" button and browse /sdcard/VpnFaker_unsign.apk
    Press the "Output" button and save it as /sdcard/VpnFaker.apk
    Key/mode select "platform"
    Press "Sign the file"
  5. copy the resigned apk back to you PC
    Code:
    adb pull /sdcard/VpnFaker.apk

For those who has already tried to inject the VpnFaker.apk, please rollback by the following command. Otherwise, skip this part.
Code:
adb shell
	cd /data
	mv system system3
	mv system- system
	mv app app3
	mv app- app
Redo the process again.

Im new about this I have no idea what to do in step 4 "Press the "Output" button and save it as /sdcard/VpnFaker.apk"
and after doing that and transfered to computer what to do next? sorry for my question :( i know its kinda silly but try helping me please.

Why are people still doing this the hard way????? Try to use AiO in dev section. It will automatically root it for you!. :)

So true but the reason its failing isnt because of the signature its the permissions it gets wiped on reboot becausee of wrong permissions you have to set it to 644
