 Then make sure you have your ASUS memo pad fully charged before following any of these steps (IMPORTANT).
you will require a at least 2GB microSD card formatted with FAT16 or FAT32 with partition on it.

 1 step - extract then content of zip file Me172vDumpUtil_v0.1.zip to your SD cards root location.

 2 step - insert your SD card to your memo pad and restart it.
then you will prompted with 3 choices with back ground screen with dark blue.this is where you will 
start to backup you system partitions on your device.
from volume keys you can go through with your selection,

"Dump me172v flash and some info"

"shutdown"

"Restore me172v flash (previously saved)"

 select "Dump me172v flash and some info" and press power button to confirm your selection.

 this will take some time to create a dump with your device system files,after finishing the dump creation device will be shutdown automatically
pull out your SD card and and make a safe copy of your dump files stored in your SD card.

 3 step - after saving the content on the SD card format the card again with same file system and extract the content of  Me172vRootUtil_v0.1.zip file to root location of the SD card.

      It takes some time only to create dump files from your device,for me it took around 15 -20 min,then for rooting it will only take around 5 min.
      so overall for whole process it will only take around 30 min of time,let me know if you need any assistant.

      Thanks. I'll root it today.

      I have a Huawei E173 usb modem which I use to access internet on my desktop. How can I use it to access internet on the tablet. Asus supplied it with an OTG cable. I connected the dongle to the OTG cable but it doesn't show anything. Help.

    I rooted it. I did and reached every step that you mentioned. But now when I start the device, it shows Asus logo (modified) but after that the device shows black screen (although it remain ON). What's the problem?
