Just got a Samsung Galaxy A21. System updates are postponed until tomorrow. How do I root it? - Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers

So the other day we got a Samsung Galaxy A21 with Android 10 (locked to Simple Mobile), Kernel version 4.9.190-20280533 #3 Mon Dec 21 14:23:09 KST 2020, and Build number QP1A.190711.020.S215DLUDU2ATL3. I tried looking up rooting guides, but I couldn't find anything that laid it out clearly, the instructions were unclear on various things (such as which builds were supported and just general wording). How would I go about rooting our phone? ~Cherri

We've been able to delay the update process more. Does anyone know how we can root it? We still can't find anything. ~Cherri

[Help] SCH-I545 NK4 won't update to Lollipop (Strange stock rom issue)

I'm new to the forums, though I did look around for a similar issue before registering to post this. Hope this isn't redundant!
Anyway, down to brass tax: I have an SCH-1545 from Verizon, and at one time had Hyperdrive 20 running which required the use of Safestrap. For a number of reasons I eventually went back to stock rom and being new to Android may have may a few crucial errors, though I haven't bricked my phone. I believe I've somehow flashed an improper stock rom, even though it does 'work' for the most part. The only problems are a few GUI bugs, mostly delays when using the keyboard, and the fact that when I try to update to Lollipop from the popup that incessantly invades my homescreen it fails and boots back into 4.4.2.
If anyone has any ideas or knows what I should do, PLEASE ask me any other information you need and help me sort this out.

If your phone doesn't update to lollipop then you are very lucky man. You should never update to lollipop because your bootloader will be even more locked with "Secure Download". This is mainly why i hate lollipop and all samsung lollipop smartphones.
Your Kitkat is very good i'm sure you do not want bugs so you would not like to update to lollipop.

HELP!! Need Root / Custom ROM assistance for GALAXY S3 SCH-R530X!!!!

Hello! I am one of many of the SCH-R530(X) users and I would like to upgrade to the best available ROM Kernel & Firmware for my device. I am unsure of what carrier it is on, the device does not have active service, and I bought it for $20 USD about a year or so ago
There currently is no SD card installed but I do have 16GB internal - it is running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with developers options enabled -
I'm running Baseband Version R530XWWUBMK4 with build number JSS15J.530XWWUBMK4

Now that the nitty/gritty is posted above, I would like to figure out the easiest way to get this ROOTED and have it completely up to date! If I can get Android Pay working with the NFC reader that would be stupendous! I almost installed a malware riddled version of towelroot 4.3 from one of the similar threads, seems this device has been deprecated for a few years now, however I loved the S3 and personally owned an SCH-I535 which lasted me for a good year and a half, unfortunately a friend has taken this device, and installed the guts into another phone for his dad.
I'd like to get this up to date, and try some new apps on it. Any recommendations, or information pertaining to my model would be certainly useful!
Thanks so much XDA and I hope to get some responses!

Your phone appears to be very similary to the i747.
You can probably flash ROMs from that device.
You will get better replies if you posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-all

Download Kingoroot for pc and install it.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to your pc using a USB cable.
Connect your pc to internet.
Open Kingoroot, it will detect your phone automatically.
Click the root button and wait for the process to complete.

Is there a safer alternative? I have heard that KingRoot may contain adware/spyware and that's the last thing I need. I'd also like some instructions/information as to perhaps the latest ROM, hopefully working with Android Pay (I know it's possible!)

Not KingRoot but Kingoroot. Both are different.
I've found a cheap alternative solution to broadcast FM radio to bluetooth headsets. Here is the Link

Polaroid Jet C7 tablet... need ROM, please!

Greetings, everyone!
My phone had to be sent in for repairs under the warranty and I needed something to keep gaming meanwhile. So I bought a Polaroid Jet C7 tablet, that is also a telephone. The thing is, here in Mexico the companies are a bit ruthless and it seems to be filled with bloatware. For things like this, I sure have missed the USA! Anyway, I would like to get rid of the Telcel ROM and use a ROM that doesn't have garbage and doesn't suck the life from the battery so fast. Can anyone please help me?
It has Android 7.0

Thanks! :good:
I have the same tablet from telcel . It was a mistake to buy it. It is crap and the battery goes way too fast. Unable to find a way to root it as of yet ,

Seeking Collective wisdom: firmware choice: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 [SM-T810]

[29Apr: Just discovered the Samsung Galaxy Tab Q&A forum, I've moved this post to it]
Seeking Collective wisdom: firmware choice: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810
I'm looking for best bets for choosing a good firmware update for this older tablet that I still like.
The tablet recently got very flaky on Android 5 so I let it install an auto-downloaded image for Android 6. The new image probably came from Samsung since I was told at purchase that device had official Samsung firmware for Android 5.1.1. (see ABOUT DEVICE below)
Things got worse on the new Android 6 image, so bad that I'm ready to install new firmware by sideloading.
1. Since the device was rooted by prior owner (see: DEVICE HISTORY below for details) I am guessing I have little to gain by sticking with an official Samsung image--unless nothing else works. Does that sound right? And, does anything prevent me from going the non-Samsung route?
2. If it makes sense at this point to try a non-Samsung image, my question for folks here boils down to this: where am I likely to have the best luck finding a build that will work well on the device? For example, I wonder
who are the most experienced makers of firmware for this older tablet?
and which version of Android--7 or 8? Should I avoid 8 or go for it?
(I've seen an unofficial Lineage OS build for Android 8. I believe that Android 7 builds exist, too.)
Thanks for any suggestions.
MORE:
(I've waited so long to update because a) I seldom use the tablet and b) seller said that he'd had problems with a German Nougat and had reverted to official Android 5.1.1. )

[DEVICE HISTORY, as far as I can say:
I bought in 2017 on swappa.com. Seller told me "What you would get out of the box is the official Samsung OEM firmware for Android 5.1.1 (XAR-T810XXU2BPB1-20160323135521) with the official Samsung recovery. Updates will apply without issue, either by directly loading with Odin or SmartSync, or doing an OTA firmware update....It is running pure stock firmware now. Since it was rooted at one point, the Samsung Knox flag is tripped. It's the only thing that would distinguish this device from a new-in-box tablet."]
