Dear funbook users i have seen a lot many people are very much confused about rooting the funbook and are using the Sparky Root method and are getting nothing from it.
Below is a details step by step procedure for getting root in a safe manner.
For this i am assuming that you have no knowledge and you are doing this for the first time.
Step 1: Installing ADB Drivers
Step 2: Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
Step 3: Installing SuperSU by Chainfire
Important:If you have completed any of the above steps then you dont have to repeat them.

(iii). Go to the device manager and there you will find and unknown device. Right click on it and click on Update driver link.
(iv). Then click the browse my computer link and navigate to the ADB folder link on the Desktop. Inside the ADB folder you will find two folders 32Bit drivers and 64Bit drivers. Select your computer specific and select ok.
(v). I many cases you will get a warning about installing the driver. Dont bother it and click on the Install Anyway button.

Important: Before installing Recovery just transfer the CWM-SuperSU 0.75.rar to your device internal memory.

The method contains all the necessary steps top bne taken and are well ordered and placed. If there is any mistake menting them in the posts below and i will correct them.
If you want any other guide then also post below i will try and help as much as i can.
This method is preffered by me and is proven better then the superuser app. This method is followed by me always for this device.
There are other methods as running a script will give you superuser but the method followed above is a better and a persistent one.

Disclaimer: All the above steps are really safe to attempt but in any case if your device wont work after all these then i am not responsible in any way.
