BACKUP YOUR APPS AND DATA ON A SD CARD BEFORE PROCEEDING
How to install Z4Root on the SuperPAD
1. Copy the Z4Root.apk file onto a Micro SDHC card.
2. Plug the SD Card into the upper most SD slot. (Default located between the USB ports) and open it with the “wowfilemanager”.
3. Select the Z4Root.apk file and then install it.
4. Go to “Settings”, then select “Applications”, and then select “Development” (or long press on your desktop and add a "Shortcut" from "Activities" -> "Settings" -> "Development". Activate or confirm selection of “USB De-Bugging”.
5. Go to your apps list and select “Z4 Root”. You will be presented with two options, “Temporary Root” and “Permanent Root”. I think it best to initially select “Temporary” until you are totally comfortable that Z4 Root doesn’t conflict with anything. Otherwise, just go ahead and select “Permanent” root.
6. Restart the tablet to finish rooting.

In settings>applications there is no development option. How can I get that menu option?
Elge, Download Launcher Pro(and start it), long press your desktop and add a shortcut to Activities -> Settings -> Development. Open that shortcut and you'll find USB Debugging. After that Z4Root works fine.
Every time I run z4root, it just runs and runs until it locks up and I have to do a restart by pressing the manual reset button on the bottom of the tablet. Any ideas as to why this might be? Or another root app that I can use? USB debugging is turned on.

Thanks - the Launcher Pro trick worked and I now have the device rooted with z4root.
Is there any way to make it access paid Apps in the Market please? Even Apps I have already bought (on other devices) show up under My Apps, but then it can't find the files.
Really annoying.
Also, are there any updated ROMs for it yet please - maybe Gingerbread or Honeycomb? Even a stock Froyo without the restrictions would be a start.
Lastly, is the screen supposed to be so non-responsive? I keep selecting a menu option when I am actually trying to make it scroll up
I do not have access to paid apps, and z4root is not doing anything other than sitting there at the "Running exploit in order to obtain root access...." screen. I have tried it on Temporary Root, Permanent Root, and Unroot selections, and no difference on any of them. I have several apps that I use on a regular basis on my phone, that I would love to be able to use on the tablet. But so far, I have had no success with making that happen. I also have Market Enabler on the tablet, but it gives the "Houston, we have a problem" error with any option I try. I'm guessing Market Enabler requires root access, and that's why it doesn't work. Could anyone help me with getting my tablet rooted???
Will thise work on my flytouch3 superpad3 epad?
The only thing I can download is old free stuff or paid for stuff off old android market not the newer google store like I have in my android phone
I bought the tablet last year expecting it to be good enough for stuff like facebook/emails/youtube/games like smurfs ect but I cant even install smurfs because it isnt in android market & my granddaughter loves playing on it in my phone
Can you help?
