The G-Slate is a standard Honeycomb tablet with 8.9-inch 1280 x 800 pixel screen with Wi-Fi and T-Mobile 4G HSPA+ support. It also has a built-in Wi-Fi radio and 32GB of storage. It is 9.6 inches long and .5 inches thick and weighs a surprisingly hefty (for its size) 22 ounces.
Rooting Lg-G Slate was not that easy before finally a developer came up with an easy way of rooting Lg G-Slate. This process works under Linux. The hard part under Windows would be mounting a file as an ext4 filesystem, but if you can do that you win.
Instructions:
- Download G-Slate Rooting Files from here
- Put those four files in a directory and open a terminal to there.
- Shut down your G-Slate and plug it into your computer via USB.
- Hold down both volume buttons and press the power button. The G-Slate will not appear to turn on, but it’ll go into APX mode.
- Running “lsusb” should show an entry “0955:7820 NVidia Corp.”
- Run the command “sudo su” to get a root shell. Running “ls” should still show the four files.
- ./nvflash –bl bootloader.bin –getpartitiontable ptable.txt
- ./nvflash -r –read 8 system-orig.img
- Wait while 400 meg of data copies.
- cp system-orig.img system.img
- mkdir system
- mount -o loop system.img system
- cp su system/bin
- chmod 4755 system/bin/su
- cp Superuser.apk system/app
- umount system
- ./nvflash -r –download 8 system.img
- Wait while it copies back.
- ./nvflash -r –sync
- Press the reset button under the sim cover to reboot.
Troubleshooting:
- You may need to install the package libstdc++6 or lib32stdc++6 to get nvflash to run.
- You may need to use “sudo” on the nvflash commands.
- If you want to try to make this work on Windows, the nvflash.exe binary and the APX USB drivers are are available from nvidia.com
