Hello,
I might buy 6" ZE600KL, important points for me are big screen for reading and root access since I will be using a few applications that need root rights. Is it possible to root this device?
Regards.
Sure, it's possible. Will any developers take notice and buy one? I don't know. Maybe, it'll be easier for non-owners to develop for if the hardware is mostly similar to an existing device, but I haven't looked at it, so again, I don't know.
system and boot are the same for ZE550KL and ZE600KL, just flash the ZE550KL rooted images and you will have root on your ZE600KL

Hello,
It's been a long time since I rooted a device.So please be patient.
I want to root the tablet because I need open vpn connectivity and I don't need a custom ROM because I am mainly using it as a media consumption device.
Does rooting automatically mean flashing a custom recovery(CWM) Is it possible to root without flashing one(I feel stupid asking this I remember flashing CWM every time I root a Android device.)
I have heard that there are some bugs in CWM for Nexus 10.
Thanks

Well I like to think Android is Linux; which it basically is. It gives you access to system files and delve deeper than what you can normally access. superuser access more or less. You can install custom ROMs AFTER you are rooted. That's pretty much it. Also, no rooting doesn't automatically flashing a custom recovery.
A custom recovery is just a custom recovery that you can flash through fastboot..for a plethora of different functions which cannot be done easily with the stock recovery. Which is..another method of customizing and accessing your phone...since this can go on for a long time I'm just going to stop and add that you're better off reading and learning stuff before trying to do any of it though.
Good luck!
I've never quite got an answer to this: does rooting automatically ends warranty? What is Samsung's official take? Does unrooting work and can I cover traces? I only want rooting for adblocking and USB OTG, but now risking warranty.
I don't think rooting a device voids any warranty. You can always lock the bootloader and reflash the stock image and it's as if nothing ever happened.
If it were to void the warranty, Google wouldn't have made it easy to unlock the bootloader and root. If you tamper with with hardware in the device then yes it will void your warranty.
So basically, what is the point of rooting the device?

Personally I'd do that fro adblocking and external storage mounting, if it doesn't require messing with the ROM which I'd prefer not to.
what kind of adblocking just out of interest? is it possible to get something like adfender for portable devices?
AdAway is a popular app, dunno of compatible with the N10 just yet.
Rooting allows you to freeze apps that you don't want to keep them form wasting resources, freeze & hide apps you do not want the kids to use, back up apps & data plus entire system just in case you accidentally do something stupid. Then there is AdFree to block ads. Plus, if you get bored in the future you can jump into ROM flashing.

'OpenVPN for Android' (by Arne Schwabe) does not need root (btw I do not own a nexus 10 to check if it works on it)
I just need some help. I have been using a guide which was working perfectly at first but then it failed due to a faulty battery. Got a new battery and its still not rooting properly. If anyone is will to share some guidance I would really appreciate it.

Why would root fail due to a flauty battery?
Install a custom recovery first then flash SuperSU. Use Odin. Check YouTube. Flash twrp. Then flash SuperSU. You have a custom recovery and root. If you want only root try alps like kingroot.
The faulty battery didn't have enough power to turn the phone back on after the root made it reboot. It just kept putting it into a bootloop.
The guide I was using said to use Kingroot to temproot it (it rooted once and then got stuck in the bootloop, which is were the phone is currently now) and then SuperSU to perm root it but now I can't even get more than 55% with Kingroot before it shuts itself down.
I thought the bootloop was my fault from ****ing with it so I flashed twrp onto it and it now has a little broken lock that says custom over it but the twrp commands don't come up so I still can't put the ROM on it.
If your on 5.1.1 better use kingoroot for a high success rate and after that you NEED to unlock bootloader first and then flash twrp. If you dont unlock bootloader you cant flash twrp.

Why would you use Kingroot or Kingoroot if not to unlock the bootloader? Neither will give you a stable root and both have the potential of calling home to China with your personal data.
If you need to unlock your bootloader there are threads in this subforum that will tell you how to do it. However, I'd strongly suggest that you do some serious study into what you're doing and why before you attempt it.

My roommate from college was telling me to do this and was helping me but he did a half as way of explaining this stuff so thats why I came here. The Kingroot and Kingoroot is to unlock bootloader? I thought they were for a temproot? Not to be a pest but would you be so kind to explain?

You need temporary root at which time you can deploy the exploit that will unlock the bootloader and give you full root. That's what Kingroot or Kingoroot do for you. What they may or may not do for you is give your phone cooties and call home to China with your personal information.
Can I hold your hand and walk you through rooting your phone? Yeah, I could, but I won't. The guys that developed the exploit think it's a good idea for someone to have at least a clue as to what they're doing. I happen to agree with that. Rooting is fairly safe for your phone so long as you're willing and able to follow directions exactly.
Read up on the process of rooting. There are three or four threads in the general section that tell you how. If you think you're up for it, do it.
Hi all,
I've been out of the android world for a while and i got back to this attractive world with an HTC M9+ supreme camera. and a chinese tablet with MediaTeck chip in them.
i tested to unlock bootloader on the tablet using the fastboot command oem unlock but i ruined it and it is now totally dead not even turning on.
my question, is it safe to root my phone? what is the difference in rooting and unlocking bootloader between MediaTeck and Qualcomm chips as i used to develop for qualcomm and it was fairly easy to unlock and root such devices?
what do you advice me to do to remove all Chinese apps and bloatware from this phone if rooting is not going to work and if i root-only my phone without unlocking bootloader just to remove the bloatware apps can i still receive htc OTA for marshmallow and install it?
sorry for my long questions but i really need those info to get back to android ROMing and being more active toward our community.
Thank you all
Yes it is safe to root. I rooted my HTC One M9 Plus Supreme Camera yesterday with no problems.
You have to "Unlock" the bootloader first. It will restore your phone back to factory so make sure you have all of your pics and files backed up.
Rooting is gaining root level permissions to make changes to system files. There are several videos on youtube that show how to do it. I watched the one by sakitech for the M9. Good step by step directions. You will need TWRP 2.8.7.0 for the M9+ and the latest SuperSU.
As far as the Chinese apps, I just deleted them. Go the the app drawer, tap and hold on the app, and drag it up to where it says "uninstall". You don't have to be rooted for that.
thank you

hi @flymacs thank you for answering my question.
i had great knowledge in rooting android devices but i need to know if it is safe with Mediateck device. also can you find stock recovery and rom for this device? please send me the link you used to root the device.
thank you
Minachvim
I followed the thread in the General section for the M9+ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/one-m9-general/howto-rooting-m9-m9pw-htchiaumltuhl-t3116327
This thread hes the TWRP links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/one-m9-general/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-english-m9pw-t3116099
I also needed to review my fastboot knowledge so I watched this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHN8byHAzk
I could not find stock recovery. I like android 5 better than 6 so I decided that it didn't matter to me. I don't plan to unroot my phone.
I flashed TWRP and used it to make a stock unrooted backup. Then I used TWRP to flash SuperSU. Booted up the phone to the Home screen. Rebooted to TWRP and flashed the sd card write fix from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ipop-external-sd-card-write-fix-fob6-t3051562
TWRP has issues flashing from the external sd card, so put SuperSU and any other files you are going to flash on the internal storage.
So to answer your question, yes it's safe to root, but for this device, it might not be possible to unroot until someone can find a stock recovery.
Hey there,
Is it possible to only root this device? As far as I can tell, in order to root it you have to unlock the bootloader and / or install a custom recovery. I don't want that - just root (e.g. via an app, or ADB, or something). I couldn't really find any similar questions.
Thanks in advance.
The simple answer to this question as it stands, is no.
FYI: Root, not even an unlocked bootloader exists for this phone model. I'd suggest reading the threads in detail in the Discussions board first...as performing any actions such as bootloader unlock attempts or flashing code/ROM's for root (etc) is likely to brick your phone beyond recovery. Devs are having some breakthroughs with OTHER v20 variants regarding root and boot unlocking, so like everyone else in the LG community - please sit back and enjoy the waiting game

Hi everyone,
I just got my Huawei Nova and i wonder if there is any easy rooting-guide or app like KingRoot.
I used this app for Honor 7 and others and it's a great one, but i don't know if it's working for the Nova.
If possible, i don't want to change recovery/rom, only small root that allows me to really control my phone.
Thanks yall
At the moment, there are no automated tool or any application on XDA unfortunately...
The easiest way is unfortunately the ADB/Fastboot way.
It's not that hard, but you have to be a bit careful going through each step:
- Install ADB/Fastboot tools, and the drivers
- Unlock bootloader (you'll need an unlock code)
- Flash TWRP recovery
- Flash Root.
You'll find pretty much all the info needed in the Nova forums, but it is a bit of research. Nothing that is worth having is easy to get!
Yes, all info is in the TWRP post under development forum. Weird issue with data partition in TWRP.
Thank you for your replies. I've seen the TWRP post with all the instructions, i just don't want to take any risks with my brand new phone for now.
That's why i used King Root app before, one tap and it does everything, without flashing anything.
Anyway, i'll wait for some time then.
Again, thank you very much.
Is re-locking the boot loader after rooting possible without losing root again?
Found the tool?
