If you are still wondering why you might want to root Asus Zenpad S 8.0 Z580C tablets, I’m about to give you one of the top reasons: Full!screen. The Full!screen app takes away your navigation bar so you can use all of the Zenpad screen real estate on your device for those times when you would prefer having every inch available.

REQUIREMENTS

• These are the instructions to root Asus Zenpad S 8.0 Z580C devices only. Do not try these steps on any other devices.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• You should always backup your device before going ahead and rooting it just to make sure you do not lose any data. The following method to root the Asus Zenpad should not delete your data automatically. However, if you happen to soft-brick your device, you might want to hard reset it and not try fixing it via a more technical method. It’s during those hard reset times where you do wipe all data on the device and you cannot restore that same data again unless you backed up earlier.
• You must have a Windows PC to use this guide.
