So far I have SuperUser and RootUninstaller working on my Vizio.

Wish me luck. If it keeps going smoothly like this I may have my Vizio rooted.

Ill update in a bit on what I did.

Fingers Crossed and Sending Root thoughts )))

It is a program that requires a device to be rooted for you to use it. It can and will delete the bloatware vizio put on the tablet we all hate. lol

This is RootUninstaller
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.free

I am fixing to completly uninstall market and reinstall it. That will def tell me if I have rooted it.
If it works, its rooted and if not..... its not.

Tweaked around with Z4ROOT. :]

 

[imhumanoid]

Bloody fail. Trying something else.

Which is strange, I hit temp root and it ran the exploits blah blah blah..... and then it did give me a confirmation.
It also automatically put my SuperUser on my Tablet. Like its supposed too, like it did my phone. :/

 

[rprr]

Suspense is killing me ......

edit: Sorry it didn't work. Can you tell us what you tried? AFAIK, z4root uses rageagainstthecage exploit.

And SuperOneClick F'ed up my computer a good amount. Not even retrying THAT.

Iv had trouble with ADB related software in the past, that could have been the reason.... :/

imhumanoid: Would you mind sharing how you achieved superuser access on the VTAB?

This is all that is needed to fix the ad-hoc hotspot issue. Thanks!

 

[imhumanoid]

I installed Z4root on my Vtab and ran the Temp Root, and it installed it.

 

[rprr]

You may have it installed but do you have root access?

 

[imhumanoid]

No. I said in an earlier post it did fail to work.

 

[rprr]

At this point I am beginning to doubt if we will ever get this device rooted

I installed Z4root on my Vtab and ran the Temp Root, and it installed it.

I ran Z4 Root. Temp Root. SU - Permission denied.
