Hi,
My kids are using a Z300m since last year. I've been looking for rooting capabilities since we purchased it, something like a year ago. At this time there was no solution. As I needed to swap a broken screen, I've just had a look at the XDA forum and found out of Diplomatic's TWRP*install method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenpad-10/how-to/installing-twrp-rooting-asus-zenpad-10-t3612693
In short, Is that worth the risk for me to root this tablet ? All i was looking for initially was the multiaccount capability but we kinda learned to live without it. Is this method proven ? Is it permanent, or does it need extra care from teenager not to be canceled ? Much more important, I may be a IT*people, i really feel lost when talking about android rooting. So I may need bootcamp information in ordre to understand what I need.
To summarize: from the state of the art, should I risk my boys' tablet for unknown benefit ? on a scale of one to ten, how risky it is ? Where should I look for basic information on TWRP, and magisk manager ?
Thanks for any incoming advices or experience.

Ok, so I was a symbian user, but after N97 fiasco I decided to get a state of the art mobile and decide to get Nexus 1, whooray!
Anyway, being a symbian user I was used to get cracked apps from another forum, but there are no android sections there, so no cracked apps for me right? Or wrong... does cracking and hacking paid apps work like other OS or android has no option?
Another thing, is rooting the android equivalent to hacking for symbian? I mean, I used to hack my symbian phones in order to install anything I wanted but it didn't work like rooting I think, as hacking could be easily undone and seems that rooting is like herpes, is forever...
And a final question, is rooting worth it? I mean, why root? To get wireless tether? I don't get it... and what are the bad side effects of rooting my phone besides voiding its warrant?
Well guys, thank you all and please, fell free to bash me, but remember, it is not easy to be dumb...
Search is your friend!
- Why you should root, http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root
- there is cracked apps for android just like any other system, but you just have to know where to look a quick search on Google will do. This forum DOES NOT condone sharing/talking/posting crack apps so you SOL.
Thank you, my question was purely based on info necessity, not that I use or agree with cracks!!!
Anyway, thank you again!
Hi,
As thousands before me already have asked I've never really found a direct answer for my next question... Maybe because it was never asked this way:
1). What is the pros and cons for rooting Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500)?
Basically everything you can think of, put into boxes of good and bad things about it.
2). What ROM would you recommend using IF I was to root my tablet?
I really only know about Cyanogen mod, however I've heard that theres many other just as good or maybe better ROMs too.
3). Could you provide a link to a good and simple guide how to root my tablet IF that is what I end up doing. And ofcourse a link to your recommended ROM.
Last but not least; I know rooting breaks the warranty of my product, however my products warranty has already ran out so this "concern" is already out of the picture.
Thank you very much in advance .
Best regards

So noone has anything to say regarding above mentioned? Surely someone must have an input and an idea

Well, as you might know rooting your device and installing a custom-ROM are two different things. While 'rooting' gives you as a normal user access to the superuser-account and thus enableing you to do things that only the superuser can and should do on your device, installing a new ROM can give you a new operating-system.
If you don't use apps that require root, there is no need for rooting your device. Most probably you might wanna use something like Titanium-Backup or something like that...
As for custom-ROMs you should remember that the galaxy tab 10.1 is EOL for a long time now, so recent development is getting thin...
For a nice KitKat-build you might wanna take a look here...

Samsung is a new device. Running 4.4.2 KikKat and having the best mobile processor in the market meaning that most (if not all) of you will exploit this bad boy in many different ways. The most popular way is obviously gonna be rooting.
Now, im fairly new to rooting. (Having only rooted my v2.1 Galaxy S Vibrant) Meaning I have no idea (or experience for that matter) in rooting new phones.
Most of you know that Sammy implanted new Knox security, and rooting an S5 early on will void it's warranty.
My question is: Is it recommended to root an S5? Aside from the cancelation of the warranty will the phone suffer any other consequences? And lastly, are there any actual mods that will make rooting an S5 beneficial? Or are all the mods just aesthetical?
Difficult question to answer imho. I'm no leet phone user or maybe not the best person to ask, but I rooted because of droidwall, xposed network and xprivacy (basically because I want a access to iptables and decide which items can use which data, etc. I also like to customise and freeze unwanted stuff in titanium backup. But if the positive side supersedes the negative side I don't know. Must be up to you to decide. If you are into to protect your own privacy policy root is must. Cheers

Im also not leet phone user or anything but to answer your question about if there is any useful mods...
well firstly if you're rooted you can remove all of the bloatware... this will typically extends your phone battery by 15 - 40% depending on how you use it... but for sure its 15% better (samsung is known for putting a lot of bloatware and some of them runs in the background and you cant turn them off -> the only way is to freeze or delete them)... secondly is that if you have some specific things you want on your phone, rooting and flashing mods/roms will help you achieve them, for example: I like to have my "sound+vibration/vibration" options on the notification but stockrom has "sound/vibration/mute", and so far that I've noticed the "sound" option doesn't force vibration so if you just restarted the phone and put on the "sound" option it won't vibrate until you go to settings and set it to do so... so without rooting I won't ever be able to mod the notification toggles to do what I want.... there will also be mods that makes your phone more responsive (faster)... the lists of things you can do with root is just too much to be listed lol...
now to answer your main question "Is rooting the S5 recommended this early on?", now this is all my opinion so take it with a bit of salt... I would say no...
there isn't much of roms around (not much of choices atm, you can check like s2/s3/s4 to get an idea of how much of choices you can expect once the device has been out for 6 months+), so if you root right now, you pretty much have to do all of the modding by yourself and etc... so why root and lose warranty? just play it cool and wait for a better time XD the decision that you wait 1 - 6 months before root might saves your phone ass, if something happens... and I seriously doubt you gona gain that much if you root now... unless you're uber modder/rom cooker
Don't get me wrong though, I personally recommend every android user to root lol... Android without root is like iPhone... what is the point of the ability to pretty much modify everything but you dont use it? (dont get mad now iphone fans... Im on android just coz of the customization, not of brand or specs)
I need to root my phone to unlock its full potential.
willing to pay fairly for time. Please have experience doing this before. I am paying for 2 reasons.
-To save time
-To get it done securely. Don't have the budget to buy another phone.
I am decently tech savvy, but am new to roots. Would love to learn during the process. Thanks.

Rooting this device won't even get you anywhere and also don't expect much in ROM development, it's fine the way it is, you have a much higher chance of bricking with this phone. If you wanted to root and you're new to it, you should've went for a Nexus device or Snapdragon devices, sorry but that's just the way it is here
Allow me to be slightly more specific.. I need a root to access an application modification that worked easily on iphone however as there is not as much support on android, it requires more access to the phone.
So, yes I do need it. It's for a service that paid for this phone to begin with.
I have a mate 9 (MHA-L29C567).
Rooting is fairly easy, as simple as:
Unlock bootloader: 0 risk.
Install correct TWRP: low risk.
Install super su (root): very low risk.
Just read the instructions, not once, but twice and probably you'll not have any problem.
This type of risk I prefer to do it myself instead of handing it over to anyone.
On the other hand, installing a custom ROM I prefered not to do it and avoid any risk, mainly because the stock ROM is pretty good already.
Edit: Btw, if your only goal is to root, hard bricking the phone is very hard, specially because you can e-recover it (i did once when I messed the screen res and dpi).

I cannot tell you anything specifically to your phone but I can tell you some things in general.
Some people will probably tell you that it's not worth to root your phone in 2021 but I wouldn't agree. I rooted my first phone in 2013 and I've changed tons of phones from that time never being able to go more than seven days without root. It's a kind of addiction so you will get used to feeling that phone is totally yours due to the fact you can do whatever you want with it.
It doesn't mean that it's totally safe and people who don't know what they are doing can **** the things up. It's not because of the root but it's because of the people. Some people just play with the things they shouldn't play with.
Everything considering your phone and its futures depends on the custom ROM.
You may get a totally different custom ROM which doesn't have to do anything with your current phone or you can make it literally the same one which will be rooted.
"OS" is "ROM".
Everything depends on what you can find. I don't know about every phone on this world so browse the forum and you will see.
I haven't used my phone for anything else other than entertainment so I can't really tell you anything about your work but considering that you work, depending on where you work, it may be a little bit unsafe.

thank you very much for your detailed answer @dedq
so a ROM can be replaced after rooting with something else rather than default "Android" right?
i'm a really cautious person so i wouldn't play with some setting until i know what i'm doing with it first
another thing please, do you mean by unsafe that the ROM could have vulnerability for attackers to acces my phone?
or things may get lost?

"Default Android" is your current ROM. You have ROM now as well. We have all been very cautious in the beginning with these kinds of things like flashing U systems and those kinds of things but the thing is chances are high that you will **** something up. Everyone did that and you can count on yourself probably going to third-party technician at least two or three times. We have never made those mistakes on purpose but it's very slippery to play with these kinds of things. I suggest you don't change anything if you really need your phone on daily basis because you may lose it for a couple of days. I'm talking from my experience but I hope you won't have negative experiences if you want to try rooting and doing something more.
It is always assumed that your phone is the safest when it's default. That means no root and no flashing anything. Rooting your phone is basically opening it to tons of vulnerabilities.
Don't play with those kinds of things if you work some kind of job where your phone is under constant surveillance.

Hello,
so i have a Redmi note 7 - Global Version (Lavender) phone, and i have so many questions that concerns me about..
first of all i don't like how things getting very slow with my MIUI and the android 10
i thought of rooting the phone but I'm not sure if it's worth it.. there's so many confusing things on the web and tutorials to choose from.
i don't like how companies collect data and peek on my privacy silently in the background that's why i would like to root if it's going to solve this problem. I'm afraid that i won't be able to find the features i have now if i rooted my phone and installed a new ROM for example, will my phone work properly with all of the existing features in it? what's the downside to voting or choosing a wrong ROM?
and if finally found the best ROM for me, am i obligated to do updates to it manually every time a security patch comes on for example?
i mean the work is not over by just successfully installing a new ROM and rooting?
second what is the best ROM out there? IS OS same as ROM? or the ROM is just representing the UI "for example MIUI" ? or is it replacing " Android"?
any privacy concerns? or attacks? i'll be using my phone for work and very important stuff.. that i can't lose..
please someone enlighten me
and i'm so sorry for very basic questions but i got lost in so much reading articles
thanks in advance

I’m also of the opinion that rooting is worth the eventual hassle. Except that it’s not that big a hassle on this phone if you use Orangefox and the build in root solution. If you choose not to root but care about privacy take a look at Netguard (Github version).
