I recently joined this forum to hopefully find a solution to rooting my envy 9, it was bought new by my kids for fathers day, i had no luck finding a way to root the tablet but out of curiosity i installed root checker and it came up with rooted, i installed some apps that only work on rooted tablets and they work perfectly, so now i'm going to tweak it , basically what i'm saying is if you have 1 of these cheap tablets that is hard to root check to see if it comes ready rooted.
