the first step is to make a cwm recovery work and had no luck but since I'm not an expert in programming
but getting cwm may compile a rom for testing
q I am trying now is to get the recovery that brings the tablet and have someone help me to place you modify the backup and restore options

I downloaded and installed Kingo Root v1.3.3 for my laptop, ran it and it failed... are you saying you installed an app on yours that did the root for you?

[Q] Any updates with rooting ND7?

Just looking to root the most current OTA, my search so far makes me believe its not possible. Is this true or am I missing something?
Thnak you!
I'm wondering the same thing. I recently had to get a replacement phone and unfortunately it's running stock 4.4.2. First time I've ever had a phone with a bootloader that couldn't be unlocked. I would like to at least have my phone rooted. Anyone out there willing to share a root solution with us?

Yeah it really sucks. I need root to fully make use of my chromecast. A bunch of devices received screen mirroring but not the note 2. Such a sinple thing but so difficult to root. Hope we can get root soon. Thank you to anyone who is still working on this.

The root is as simple as it gets.. 1-2-3.. nothing to worry about.. There is no recovery yet but you can still do all your normal stuff.

[Q] ROOT REQUEST: Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon

Has anyone figured a way to root the Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon? I'm really in need of a solution for this, as my memory is running out very quick. It only comes with 2gb (Which is ridiculous). If anyone knows of a solution, please respond with the program and process to go about rooting this phone. Thanks!

I would recommend trying Towelroot, you may have to change the mod strings to get it work on your device but it should work. Let me know if your still having any problems or have any questions.

Just found a post from about a month ago that TowelRoot doesn't work.

Any other ideas?
Can anyone help? D:
This is a brand new phone offered by Tracfone. I would also like to be able to root mine, but haven't been able to find a way.

Question New to The A7 lite need some help.

Long story short.
I picked up this cheap tablet because i want to install it in my car permanently. If it gets stolen it's easily replaceable. It is a SM-T227U
Upon buying it I've found out a couple things. I can't root it? And
I cant use android auto on it.
I've heen digging through these forums but the threads are kinda confusing. Would anyone have time to walk me through a root process and show me how to obtain whatever os I need to accomplish what I'm trying to do? My biggest concern right now is getting android auto to connect wirelessly to my Kenwood.
I side loaded the apk but, my device still won't connect for audio. Only calls. Which I don't have lol

Pretty easy just to root the factory firmware. Using GSI's to change the OS is a bit more reading and work but the fastbootd method isn't too bad.. Here's the link for just rooting it...

Yeah... I've read that about a few of the cellular equipped ones and of course... particularly Verizon. There seem to be a couple methods to get the toggle to show up but they seem to be pretty wonky. Sorry, but other than reading about a few folks succeeding I can't help with that much.
