Root [ROOT] Root Method for Asus Fonepad

[skalagix]

ALL CREDITS BELONG TO botto00 over at xda-developer forums
I am merely compiling this on websites to provide ease of access to any Search-engine viewers.

botto00 has reverse-engineered Asus Fonepad .RAW format firmware files to include a root along with Superuser installed.

With the modified firmwares, the method to install is the same as any other Asus manual update from the website.
This PDF by Asus explains how to use Droidboot to update firmware files.

Currently modified releases are:
V3.2.3 for the WW SKU
V3.2.3 for the TW SKU
V3.2.2 for the JP SKU
V3.2.2 for the CN SKU

The firmware can be used to downgrade or upgrade without limits. A full wipe is not required, but may be recommended if you are experiencing issues.

If your Fonepad is from a different region, it will not let you install a non-corresponding firmware, currently there is no method for Fonepad's to change regions.
