Please donate to support OMA and CrewRKTablets firmware work, thank you !
Here is the first Android 4.4 KitKat (KRT16O) rooted firmware for the PiPO U8 tablet (aka Pipo Ultra-U8). It is based on latest PiPO update dated 2013/12/04.
(U8_7901_3188_4.4_201311204_体验版.rar)

- any update received thru OTA may interfere with our custom firmware, we recommend not to apply any OTA update
Custom firmware features:
- root with latest SuperSU version 1.80 (free version)
- removed most Chinese and unnecessary applications
- Google Play Store fixes so more application are visible/compatible
- updated busybox v1.21.0.git (2012-11-29)
- Unix like init.d boot scripts support, more details on init.d scripts here
- changed permissions on external sdcard to allow write access
- increased space for applications (/data partition) to 4 GB
- disabled OTA updates (may cause problems, see Notes above)
- kernel modules (cifs, tun, lan, serial, xpad) compiled by Oma & Crew RKTablets, thank guys!
- NEW! optional ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery easy install package

Flash with Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.7, use Restore button.
Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have a PIPO U8 tablet to test the custom firmware.

I just had a look at SuperSU package, it seems to works differently for Android 4.3 and 4.4
I'm checking that and will rebuild a new firmware shortly, any recommendations are welcome as usual
Cheers.

neither
not the superuser
It fails probably because the adb remount command that allows write access to /system did not work, so all the following command end up failing on the read-only file system.

As I don't have a PiPO U8 tablet to test my custom firmware, I rely on users feedback.
It may take a few more tests to make sure the root issue is fixed, here is a new test firmware, please let me know if it works better.

So you confirmed you flashed the new file kasty-pipo-u8-44-20131204-rooted4b.zip ?
Have you used Rockchip Batch Tool, with Restore button ?
When you start SuperSU app, does it give any error ?

I have some other things to check, I'll post when a new test firmware is ready.
Cheers.
