Hello,
I have been trying to root my android head unit but had no luck. I am a massive newbie and not done this before, but the unit I recently bought (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G82TS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00) this unit and it just isnt very good. The few things I want to achieve by rooting are: improve boot speed (if possible), increase volume (I have installed Volume+ from the marketplace and it does nothing at all), set default applications.
I have tried: kingoroot which gets to 95% then just restarts and nothing happens, and I have tried Rootmaster 2.1 which just sits there and does nothing as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662.
MCU: MTCB-KLD-V2.30
Model: S07
Android Version: 4.4.4_23012015
Kernel: 3.0.36+
Is anyone able to help me out - point me in the direction of a programme how to root it?
Any help would be massive appreciated
Thank you

Have a good read at the first post on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662 and will clear most of your questions. For the root thin especifically, you need to flash a ROM that's already rooted since you're using Android 4.4. G owith Malaysk's ROM and make sure to download the version for your CPU which is RK3066.
You should be good to go after reading that but come back if you have more questions.
I am in the same boat.
I would like to root the current one, before flashing another rom, because I don't want to lose the current one, just in case.
If I flash it before, I will lose the current one, as I haven't seen out there.
Rootmaster doesn't work for me too.
Can anyone help.
If your stock ROM is 4.4 there's no other known way. Just give Malaysk's ROM a try and you can alway flash the stock ROM back if you don't like it.
Malaysks rom has worked perfectly. thank you
Hello, this device is relatively new and it is mid-range, but it is a good terminal, the developers believe that they should make it an appropriate root to be able to have all the advantages. please, let me know if there is any root for this model that has android 8.1.0. Thank you
I have the phone too, its mediocre but I feel it could do much more rooted with proper apps.
I don't have any knowledge of rooting so I can't do any technical or "long way" methods. However I tried ALL the "One-Click" root methods with & without a PC, NONE as worked. Most saying they can't work with this device.
A lot of people won't have a Blu phone let alone a newer low priced one, so I doubt much answers will come thats simple. But Please let me know also if anybody can help
Hey, long time no see... I had to sell my xperia z3 last night, so I bought this XT1254 Droid Turbo.... Which is on MCG24.25-5-5 Build.... Android version 6.0.1 Security Patch level January 1, 2017....
I searched around here and found some complex methods for twrp and root, so I thought about posting here... I already did root Z3 unlocked it's bootloader and stuf..
So Is there any less complex method for these things? I don't wanna unlock bootloader for camera quality sake but I'd only like to know about rooting, twrp and a fast android 7 custom rom which is fast / battery saver, supports xposed etc if possible.. (Links would be useful, if someone can) So... Please point me in the right direction..
Else i'm staying stock. Thank you very much in advance.
Anyone???
Hi there, I haven't done any rooting or unlocking boooaders or installing custom roms for years now. I just went and got my self a axon (had one when it first came out too.). Loved it and got a another one.
I want to have some fun. I need to know the following:
How could I unlock the bootloader
I need to install custom recovery
I want to overclock gpu and if possible the cpu
As I can see there are 3 versions of this phone, my device is as follows:
A2017G 64gb 4Gb ram
Build: A2017GV1.2.0B12
Android 7.1.1
Kernal 3.18.31
Security patch 1 July 2018
I would much appreciate it if I could get a full guide or different guides to complete my quest. I did see a few guides but they didn't state if it can work on my android version ect (didn't want to risk brick)
Thank you in advance
I just bought an S5E, and having owned two previous Samsung devices, I expected a fair amount of bloat, but not nearly the amount I discovered. It makes my previous two Samsungs look downright slender. Particularly loathsome, in my view, is the way SS has hijacked Find My Mobile and Google Messages, the latter of which, as a Google Fi customer, I have to use for SMS.
Hence, I am going to root, and cleanse this otherwise delightful device with the fire of 1000 suns. I have rooted Android devices before, but it's been a while, and my memory hasn't improved with age, so I have several questions, some about rooting in general, and some specific to this device. I should add that, while I am not opposed to performance gains and newer versions of Android and suchlike, my only pressing concern is to de-Samsungize the bejeebers out of this thing. Other than that, something like a stock version of Android and an otherwise low-maintenance tablet will make me very happy. So, here goes:
I have the PewPewk method bookmarked, and believe I have one or two others using various combinations of ADB and Magisk and suchlike bookmarked. I imagine I can handle them, but they look complicated. Are any of the apparently simpler approaches found here effective, sufficient to achieve my goals, and unlikely to brick me?
What are the advantages of Custom Android Recoveries relative to the stock Android, and if they add much in the way of complications, can I live without them?
Do I need a custom ROM, and more specifically, do I need one to give me non-Samsungized versions of Find My Mobile and Google Messages? At a minimum, I need the garden-variety version of Google Messages so I can text like a normal person, not a Samsung zombie.
Again, I don't really need tweaks for performance or new versions of Android, but I do need to get bug fixes and security patches with a minimum of fuss. How do I find that minimal sweet spot?
If the answers to one or more of these question are that yes, I need a custom recovery and/or ROM - I suspect this will be the case - then can anyone recommend good candidates that will get me the outcomes I'm looking for without perplexing me too greatly and making me want to cuss?
Can anyone identify the questions which I should be asking, but which didn't occur to me, and then pose them and answer them?
I'm confident that I'm in the right forum to get the answers I need, so all advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hello there
Your questions are really deep, maybe that is why no answers so far
I'm not an expert at all, so I can't give you comprehensive answers. But I rooted Tab S5e successfully (on stock ROM) and I've read a lot about modifying it, so I can share just few hints.
I wouldn't bother of any other rooting method than Magisk. However, this tab isn't as easy to root as most of the other devices... By far the best and comprehensive guide to root the stock ROM is here:
Galaxy Tab S5e (SM-T720) - Root Instructions (Release 1.0) | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
If you follow it closely, you shouldn't have problems. I did it and can confirm it's working fine.
I haven't used custom ROM on this device, but there are some available, especially LineageOS from the recognized developer and one of the LineageOS team member. You can take a look on those threads:
[ROM][OFFICIAL][gts4lvwifi][10] LineageOS 17.1 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][gts4lvwifi][11] LineageOS 18.1 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
In order to flash custom ROM you need custom recovery. There is TWRP available:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e WiFi (twrp.me)
Again, I did not try to flash it, I've heard it's tricky, so you need to dig dipper inside those threads and articles.
Alternatively, there is a method to debloat stock ROM without root. It is described in this thread:
[Guide] Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Debloat Without Root-Info | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
Hope it helps!
Thank you for your input. By the time you offered it, I had plunged ahead with the rooting method you suggested. Overall, it went well, but I'm having a few issues with the tablet since getting Lineage 17.1 installed.
I have made a new post requesting help with those issues, which can be found here. If you can offer any advice thereupon, I would be greatly appreciative, and if not, thank you for your efforts above.
