JTBNET,I went through the process and all seemed well. Now when I adb shell and get to the # prompt and I type su, I get an error message something like "reloc_library[1300]: 2837 cannot locate 'ZNK7android6Parcel15setDataPositionEj' CANNOT LILNK EXECUTABLE"I tried to run the process again, but I get an error after the mount command line teliing me the "link file exists". How to I get a do over" Or do you know what I did wrong.Thanks!

Thanks. In the meantime I installed and ran universal androot and now have root explorer and titanium backup working.
Hey guys sorry to be pain I think I asked this same question in the wrong forum topic, I have followed the steps above and all the commands seem to have succeeded I installed superuser.apk I can now see that in my tablet as Superuser Permissions. I have installed root explorer but when it starts it says it wasn't able to get root access and it might because it was the first time I ran it, but it says that all the time. Have I missed a step?Thanks
Ok. I send a new message, but I think I can share with other readers of this topic.When I use the command "adb shell", I can not root access (the # does not appear). The prompt shows "/ $." Ie without root access. The tablet does not accept other commands. When I type "su" I get the following message: "su: Must Be suid to work properly".What am I doing wrong?jtbnet;33772 said:
I'm confused. I followed the directions posted earlier in this thread to root my ZenPad. It appears to work but when I attempt to push a file into the framwork folder I get a folder is read only message. Do I need to open the shell and issue a su command first? Is only the root available to access? Did I do something wrong?Thanks,Mark

I just ran into the same problem trying to run su from a shell. Would anyone know how to fix it? Previously I followed all the instructions found here http://www.slatedroid.com/zt-180/4316-how-root-your-zenithink-180-change-your-boot-animation.htmldinsight3fl;33221]JTBNET said:

Turns out the version of Superuser.apk and su I had installed were not built for Eclair (Android 2.1), after I found this helpful blurb on another forum.
The linked binary from above actually works, but I first had to do this to get rid of the previous (non-working) Superuser app and su command.adb remountadb shell# pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.suthen I repeated these installation steps (use the correct IP address and make sure you have a TCP connection established via ADP)adb -s 192.168.1.102:5555 install Superuser.apkadb -s 192.168.1.102:5555 push su /system/xbinadb -s 192.168.1.102:5555 shell# chmod 4755 /system/xbin/sunow this puppy works.

I have just been using Superuser.apk and Universalandroot.apk and you do not have to bother with all that other stuff. Sometimes I have to re-run the Universalandroot.apk as for some reason rootexplorer and other programs that need root do not find it but it is no big deal to run it a few times now and then to get root access back again.
