Hello! A little help?! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I recently found this forum through the YouTube channel xdadevelopers and especially because I have a question.
I tried to find more details about my phone, an Allview X3 soul lite, and I wanted to know if it is worth to root my device. Honestly, I want to root it for a couple of games or more. I know I will lose my warranty (it is over anyway) and the risks of "bricking" it.
I would like some opinions and if someone with a similar device already did it, what is the safest way to root my device (if possible, of course).
I am new to this and any suggestion or information to make me wiser is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello, I'm new to the forum also the world of rooting. I have a ZTE Groove x501_USA_Cricket (Model) That I can't for the life of me find any information on rooting or doing anything on it.

I just recently went through the MANY problems that came along with rooting this phone. I was able to successfully root it using the giantpoon method. Just 2 files and the pooter does the work. PM me for the links.
As far as I can tell, there isn't a custom recovery or ROM for it, but I was able to remove some bloatware and improve the overall battery life by altering some minor settings (using ROMToolbox). My issue is that the wifi stopped working and in an effort to undo any potential damage I had done, I tried restoring (NOOB!)... Needless to say; I now have an unrooted x501 with no working wifi. If I choose to get my service turned back on for it, I should be able to reroot (the ministro ii app requires some resource files), then it's just a matter of finding a good backup of the stock ROM so I can do a complete fix.

New to android

I have a Lenovo vibe x2, i used to have windows-phones but since my last one got stolen i thought i would try androids out. Lenovo has now updated vibe X2 to the lollipop upgrade and i can't find a video or anything that will help me root my device.
Plus i have some questions about rooting an android :
1st. does it worth to do so ?
2nd. What will i get from rooting my phone
3rd. Is it dangerous cause my phone might bug and what will i need to do if that happens ?
I would really appreciate someone answering those questions and helping me with the root.
(a trustful guide and trustful files will do just great, i am computer experienced enough to make it through it's just some fears i need to "extinguish" )

I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUGYK0tarBE
Although the title says Android 5.0 Lollipop but we can clearly see throughout the video that the guy is running android 4.4.2. Anyway, I've never heard of/tried kingroot so I can't be sure if its legit or not but you can give it a try.
And as for your questions:
1. Root is NOT a necessity. You can use google search to know about it and decide yourself.
2. Again you can find this by a google search.
3. There is always a risk when you mod your phone. Incase you somehow manage to brick it by that simple tutorial, I guess your device would have some stock firmware online which you can download and reflash by some kind of flashtool to restore to stock.

Newbie. Questions about my Samsung Galaxy Tab E lite tablet

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forums and am looking for a little insight on my device. I've been interested in rooting android devices for a long time and have successfully done so on a few occasions. I've used poot, kinoroot, androot and some others that escape me right now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E lite...
Model: SM-T113
Android Version: 4.4.4
I've accessed the developer options and enabled USB debugging...
It's unrooted right now... I have a pc laptop to do USB debugging if need be...
What i'm wanting to do guys is get the most out of my tablet by rooting and flashing for better ROM, this way I can learn and at the same time optimize my device to its fullest potential while also engaging in this new online community. The only problem I have is the reason I just cant out-right experiment with my tablet and which is why I've come here to you tech-gurus for help...
I CANNOT brick my tablet. It was a gift from my brother and the first one he bought me I accidently bricked by not doing enough research while trying to root it. He returned it and bought me an even nicer one then told me specifically not to try and ROOT it...
haha.. he should've known better.
So if anyone has an advice or keen insight on all the necessary steps to backing it up, rooting it, and maybe even doing whatever it takes to flash more ROM... I would highly appreciate it. I apologize if this new thread angers anyone.
Many thanks and I look forward to learning from you all.

Help for Samsung Galaxy S7, Model SM-G930F, Version 6

Hello guys! New user here. Nice to meet you all.
Now, for the real deal, I need help with something. I'm trying to find a way to root my phone, but I'm kind of lost. I tried already once, but ended up screwing the software, and lost quite a bit of money repairing it. Someone suggested me to come here to ask about that problem, and if it's really possible to root my specific phone.
Keep in mind, however, that due to personal reasons, I want to root specifically with Magisk and Magisk Manager.
Please, any help would be appreciated. I really need my phone rooted, but I'm kind of clueless how to do it correctly.
P.S.: since I can't really post outside links here, if there's any info needed to help me solve my issue, let me know. I'll send you any screenshots available
