How do I root my Azpen A727 tablet?
2 Answers
I learned how to do this from here
I did this from a Linux PC with ADB installed. It may be possible from a Windows PC with ADB 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.
Download superuser.zip
Unzip
superuser.zip
adb root
(to run adb as root user on the tablet)
adb remount
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb push armeabi/su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
wget https://github.com/koush/Superuser/raw/master/init.superuser.rc
adb push init.superuser.rc /

1This worked for me, host is an Ubuntu 16.04 installation. I had to do everything as root though, ADB would not see the A727 as a user.– wb8nbsCommented Nov 22, 2016 at 15:10
I just finished rooting my Azpen A727. It was super easy.
I used 'Kingo Android ROOT' (https://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm) for Windows; It was literally as easy as one click and took all of 60 seconds.
