I learned how to do this from here but it deserves to be in Android SE.

I did this from a Linux PC with adbADB installed. It may be possible from a Windows PC with adbADB installed but I could never get the tablet to connect as an installer over USB on Windows.

Turns out it was dead simple, really, it came rooted. Here’s how I installed Superuser on it so I can use apps that use root.

  1. download superuser.zip
  2. unzip superuser.zip
  3. adb root (to run adb as root user on the tablet)
  4. adb remount
  5. adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
  6. adb push armeabi/su /system/xbin/su
  7. adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
  8. adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
  9. wget https://github.com/koush/Superuser/raw/master/init.superuser.rc
  10. adb push init.superuser.rc /
  1. Download superuser.zip
  1. Unzip superuser.zip
  1. adb root (to run adb as root user on the tablet)
  1. adb remount
  1. adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
  1. adb push armeabi/su /system/xbin/su
  1. adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
  1. adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
  1. wget https://github.com/koush/Superuser/raw/master/init.superuser.rc
  1. adb push init.superuser.rc /
