i used towelroot by geohot, i installed the apk, again i have a locked bootloader, ran it, rebooted, used root checker and voila
i thought it was a longshot but i couldnt sleep this morning and was sifting through websites looking for root methods when i came across this for the samsung galaxy sfive and thought id give it a shot. and it worked. again i am stock kitkat with a locked bootloader.

ok Then..but i do think there was a way for those on system version 98.18.94....i think it was just the 4.1.2 with 98.30.1 that couldn't. but it's easy enough to just update...with kitkat all you have to do is install 2 apk's and your rooted and unlocked..

You can root 98.18.94 with SafeRoot but you can't unlock the bootloader on that version. Your best bet is to update and unlock your bootloader while you're at it so you never lose root.

Yes, assuming you rooted with Towelroot, Motopocalypse exploit works again.

Yeah I check out that link asap, and already unlocked !
Now I just need TWRP or Rom Manager and finally put cm on this thing.
The Samsung S5 root tool put out by geohot also works on the Tegra, just tried it and got root.
But we have to unlock the bootloader first?

I don't think so. Just tried it and used SDFix afterwards and it did no longer complain that it did not work (which it did before rooting).
Indeed it works. But i don't have a recovery
I agree root works,but don't have recovery
Is there any rooting method without unlocking the bootloader for TN7 till date? I am having a Xolo tegra Note 7 and it is in warranty. I don't want to void my warranty . . not yet.

It is nobody's responsibility to notify you when root is achieved on MM. It is YOUR responsibility to check back in the forums and do a little searching and reading to find out if root has been achieved on MM.

Hey I've just been browsing the forums and catching up on all the new stuff. Last time I was here there was no hope of a bootloader unlocked. I finally upgraded from kit Kat and unlocked mine. I want to try some MM Roms but I'm not sure how to get back to LP then?? Is there a way to get back and keep root? Or would I have to go back to completely stock pb1 and root and start over. Thanks
Hello. I'm new to Android and all of this rooting and stuff but I want to try out flashing a custom ROM but I don't know how. Do you need to be rooted? I know about custom recoveries and stuff but I need to know exactly how.
EDIT: My model number is WAS-LO3T
My build number is WAS-LO3TC654B198
EDIT 2: I watched the One Click Root video. Is it safe? Is kingroot safe?
ANYONE? pls

For rooting phone need unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. Then yet flash root.
And forgot about king root. Only SU.

How to root link below (includes unlocking the bootloader). Follow the steps very carefully as this is your first time rooting. I am not to blame nor anyone here on xda if you end up with a bricked phone. If you use android pay this will no longer work, some bank apps will not work either FYI due to root.
At present there is only one custom rom available however this is not specifically made for our device but for the p8 lite. When I flashed it about a month ago there are some bugs still like camera not working. Hopefully some talented people will buy our device and develope a custom rom for us.
