Arnova 10D G3 root

The Arnova 10D G3 tablet
A highly underrated tablet which puts the big players to shame. Fast, solid and cute. Why pay a fortune?
I don't know why all rooting methods are incomprehensible, but this is one of the best. To save you the nightmare of which download to choose, you can grab the files from here.

Method. On a computer running Linux
1. Extract the file:

tar -xzvf RootBurner_v0.1_MaPan.tar.gz 

change to the new folder and check the permissions:

steve@hh16:~/Downloads> cd RootBurner_v0.1_MaPan/
steve@hh16:~/Downloads/RootBurner_v0.1_MaPan> ls -l                                 
total 12

Put a newly formatted micro sd card into your computer and copy the contents of the folder to it.

Turn off your Arnova, insert the micro sd and switch on. You will see progress of the root. Remove the card and test for root. I used Root Checker Basic from Google Play:

That's it. Now you can get rid of all the rubbish and are now no longer limited to the subset of apps which do not require root.
