I just tried rooting with UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5 and it failed. I have used Z4root temporary root many times on the flytouch2 and a 4GB Gpad G10 without problem. The only time I had a problem with Z4root was with the unroot function (which is only used after permanently rooting; a reboot removes the temporary root). Although I would never try the unroot again, I think the Z4root permanent and temporary root functions work and haven't caused me any problems.

Hi i am am completely new to the androids however have been looking at them for a a while and want to get a flytouch 2 similar to the one in the ebay link below;

10.2" ePad FlyTouch2 Android 2.1 WiFi GPS Camera Tablet (eBay item 150521760073 end time 18-Dec-10 13:11:56 AEDST) : Computers

Will the universalandroot or z4root apps root this device ? Also will it permanently root it or will it just be temporary ?

Also is the below pad able to be 'rooted' as well ?

Sorry for all the questions but i am just unsure with this.

So just to confirm. While you had the O/S temporarily rooted you then applied the permanent root as well? Also are you able to remove the permanent root once installed ?
