How to Root the ZT-180v2 ePad

Got a ZT-180v2 ePad Android device and looking for a way to root it? You’ve come to the right place. The guide below shows how you can root your device and get the best out of it. Root lets you install root-only apps, flash custom recoveries and there’s a lot more you can do with a rooted device. Here’s how you can root your device:

I. Before You Begin:

1. This will void the warranty of your device. However, you can reinstate the warranty by unrooting your device if there’s any unrooting procedure available.

2. You must have a USB stick to do this procedure.

3. Your device and your PC must be connected to the same WiFi network.

II. Downloading Required Files:

1. Root Package (It’s attached in the post)

2. Fastboot

III. Rooting the ZT-180v2 ePad:

1. Download and place both archives onto your Desktop.

2. Extract files from both archives over to your Desktop.

3. Plug in your USB Memory Stick to your PC.

4. Copy all the files you extracted from the Root Package archive over to the USB Memory Stick.

5. Once all the files have been copied, disconnect the stick from your PC.

6. Plug in the Stick to your device.

7. On your device, head to Menu>>Settings>>About device>>Status and note down your IP address.

8. Launch a Command Prompt Window on your Desktop. To do that, hold down the Shift button and right-click on any blank area on your Desktop and choose Open command window here.

9. Type in following commands into the Command Prompt Window. Make sure to replace IP with the actual IP address of your device that you noted down in step-7.

adb connect IP:5555
adb shell

10. Next up, run the following batch of commands:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su_original
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su_original
busybox cp /udisk/su /system/xbin/su
busybox cp /udisk/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
reboot

11. Once it’s done, you should be rooted.
