    Brian, this is the one I've been trying to root for the last two weeks. I've tried everything. I sure hope this new tool works.

      It took me a while to find the 1.7.7 version of the tool that was pictured above...it's not the tool for regular download.

      Anyway, I tried it...and ended up the the app telling me that I successfully rooted the device.

      However, you couldn't tell it by anything else. Root Checker fails to recognize root. X-plore File Manager refuses to even look at the root folders. MTKdroidTool can't access su.

      So I tried an adb shell and push the root myself...but while you can list the folders all over the place in root, you can't push anything to the device.

      Then, I made a custom CWM with MTKdroidTool and tried to flash it with the scatter file I made from the tool. Upon plugging the tablet in, the download began...but the SP Flash Tool crashed halfway through the download...and my tablet is hard bricked. It won't even turn on. I get a chime from Windows whenever I plug in the USB...but no activity whatsoever.

      I guess I'm dead in the water unless someone with more MTK experience can bail me out.

        Eric, and Geekbuying_Rep....I'm afraid I need some advice on unbricking this tablet.

        Any ideas?

              Not yet. I have Geekbuying making some contacts for me to work it out.

              China is now off of their Dragon Boat holiday...so I should get somewhere now.

              I wouldn't recommend messing with rooting this model until I find a safe way to do it.

              Its funny how that app showed that it rooted the tablet, but it actually did nothing. The bricking occurred when I decided to aggressively flash an untested CWM that I made with the MTK Multitool. Halfway through the flash...the SP Flash Tool crashed. Now the tablet won't boot at all.

                I believe that for that SoC the correct tool to flash is MTK flash tool and not the SP Flash tool. Check this site http://mtk2000.ucoz.ru/bb/?8379
                Unless you messed with the pre-loader this things are unbrickable.

                  You know that you can do a dump using the SPFT, don't you ?

                          Hi, this is just to confirm that this rooting method, also relayed by xda-dev, works fine.

                          I have first updated my tablet from 1.0.7 to 1.0.9 as required.
                          I verified the result by removing a few system apps using ES Explorer which got registered fine in SuperSU.

                          Though it was worth reporting back as I've seen nobody confirming this so far.

                          I would stay clear from Vroot as there's been suspicion of spyware on this one (sending IMEI and other info back to China, don't know if it's true...)

                          Randy: I hope you'll get your tablet back up and running soon. It's a damn good device.

                            Got the tablet
                            I must say- 7.9" Retina screen is Awesome!!!
                            my only complain is the the it fills that you can press the lcd glass on the frame- not fills solid :-(.

                              I'm glad to hear you like the tablet. Maybe I can tackle unbricking mine tonight.
