Rooting your Advent Vega / POV Mobii

A lot of posts will tell you that the Advent Vega is supplied pre rooted, however my experience with the latest ROM (the one without Flash installed) is quite the opposite.


So, before you start your plans you customise your Vega, the first this you probably want to do is root your tablet.


To do so, all  you need to do is install Z4 root. You won;t be able to finid it in the Android Market as Google have removed it, however you should be able to pick it up from here


Copy it onto your SD card and then click on it using a file manager (like eStrongs File Manager

or Astro File Manager

This will then allow you to install the APK to your system.


When you have installed it, fire it up and select "Permanent Root" and your system will then make the changes, reboot, and once it's back up you'll be sorted! To check it works, install Titanium Backup which requires boot permissions to run.

Once you have rooted your device, your next step will probably be to backup your system (using Nandroid) so you can always recover from your hacking attempts... click here for the insructions.
