I own a Nextbook 7p12-8g running 4.0.4 with a kernel version of 2.6.34. I was wondering if i could root this device. the reason i want to root is that i cannot stand the memory limits they put on it. I want to allow the tablet to save apps on an external sd card that i plug in. I am not sure where to even go about this. Thanks ive tried downloading modifed ROMS and the root package but i do not know if they are compatible.

I managed to find this:
(Pulled from here)

Note: There is NO need to flash the ROM if you just want ROOT. The ROM is only needed by people who have screwed up their firmware.

1. Download the modified recovery .zip file.
2. Unzip the recovery file.
3. Put the "uImage_recovery" file from the recovery .zip on your external SD Card.
4. Download the root .zip file. (Do NOT Unzip)
5. place the root .zip file on your external SD Card.
6. Turn off tablet, put SD Cardin (if not already in)
7. Hold Volume and Power. (Tabletwill boot into the modified recovery it finds on the SD card)
8. Choose install from EXT. (Volume keys to navigate list, Power button to select.)
9. Choose the root .zip file.
10. Wait for finish.
11. Reboot.
12. Download your choice of Supersu or Superuser from the Play Store.

I also found this if the other method doesnt work.
