I am trying my best to find the info i need but so far keep failing. I am trying to root a buddies tablet for him. It is an Ematic Eglide EGLXL102B. I have tried googling for the method(s) to use but come up empty handed, I also have tried finding a rom that is already rooted and found none of them either. :crying: IF ANYONE knows what I need to get this rooted and where I can get a rom for it, please message me and let me know. Thanks for your time of at least reading this post.

I don't have any direct information available, but instead of searching by device name, search by the current Android version of the device. You may find a generic method that will work. Rooting for some devices can be trial and error until a successful method is found.
Thanks for the input. I will try your idea and see what I can find.
You might try looking here. I hope it helps.

To root you need to make sure you can atleast get CWM on it, if you can't get CWM on it, then rooting is out of the question. Google's auth has somewhat changed in the few months.

Hi there, I am new to the xda forum although I have been reading on it for quite some time. I understand all the work and time that the developers and others put in here and I would like to say thanks.
Ok so, I just bought my first smartphone(infuse) and I am wanting to root it. I have read alot on here (extremely informative forum) and have decided that by rooting I would be able to accomplish some things I wouldnt otherwise be able to do. I was hoping that some folks here would help shed some light on a few things for me. I keep reading about titanium backup and 3emod recovery and I was wondering if those are needed before I try to root my phone or if those are for rom flashing and kernels. Are there are any key things that I need to do like back up my original settings or something on my stock phone before I root it? If so, could you please explain the easiest way of doing this. Again, I am not wanting to flash roms(waiting for GB), just to root.
From what Ive read it seems all you have to do is install some samsung drivers(kies) and run a superoneclick program and thats that. Is it really this simple?

If all you want to do is "root" your phone. Yes, install the samsung drivers ( I downloaded kies mini and it installed them for me, from samsung ) And hook the phone up with usb debugging checked and use the superoneclick, it really is that simple.
Titanium backup is great so you don't have to go and redownload all your apps again, even saves the information, like if you were 8 levels into a game. Very useful app.
3emodd is used to get to the clockwork mod so you can install "roms", since you don't want to do this don't worry about it.
Hope this helped.
if you have the samsung stratosphere there is only one known root method which involves pushing su and busy box and if your like me those parts never seem to work so i found out that if you use the heimdall method to just flash the zImage kernel. you can then use superoneclick to gain root access without manually pushing su and busy box.
can anyone else confim this? i would try it but i am semi bricked from the odin root way =/
onceclick root works! just flash the root-zimage and then use zergrush
where do i find it
ok i might be new but.. where do i find the "zImage kernel" to flash it?

I have been unable to root the Pandigital Supernova. I've tried everything I can find on the net to accomplish this, but I've had no success. I've tried the Gingerbreak.apk, OpenNova-ROOT-Spz0-v.1.0.update, and the market-3.0.26-update - all to no avail.
Could someone please explain how to root this device? I'd appreciate any suggestions /help. The tablet came with the IR80_S_BN_W_F_B_09282011 Firmware, and I tried all mods I could find on that version. Then I upped the FW to the new IR80_S_BN_W_A_A_12152011 version, repeated the attempts and still was unsuccessful to get SU. I really would love to get Google Market on the device, primarily to get a Netflix viewer but also for other 'sandbox' things to play with.
Help, please.

Have you tried ginger break? I have two of these and rooted both with gingerbreak, did it under 2 min.
Has anyone got this file,I can't find it,all the links I have tried don't work.. ?? OpenNova-ROOT-Spz0-v.1.0.update
I didn't really find any tutorials of rooting the i8552b while searching for it, so can anyone help me?
After trying all of the one-click root apps, I came to a conclusion: I can only do it using Odin, but I don't know how to use it. I tried a tutorial, but it didn't work at all (bc i'm dumb). I may try it again later, but if someone more experienced could help me, including with download links (if possible), I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks,

This might be not for newbies but you'll get it eventually.
Find a stock ROM, then just dig around in the files and place the rooting files and superuser.apk. Then just zip it, flash it, try it. Fail? Try again.
so like the title states, i'm trying to flash twrp and get root. i've tried idk how many different methods and i'm hitting a brick wall. bootloader is unlocked, recowvery is giving me an error before closing itself, not doing anything. verified device is recognized by adb.
also tried flashing recovery using flashboot, but obviously that doesn't work on a20. i'm open to suggestions as i would really like to have a custom recovery
i could flash a rooted .kdz/.tot but i have yet to find one that is a20 or higher.

Sorry, to hear that it didn't work for you. In my experience, this has to be related to not following the instructions to the point. I was also stuck myself initially, only to find out later that I missed something in the instruction. Give us more detail, otherwise no one can help you. Which firmware version are you on? Which method are you trying? Is it an automated script or manual. IMO, the manual method works best, and easier to troubleshoot.

If this worked, good for you.
But I don't think it should work. Last time I checked, the very fastboot flash command is disabled in LG G5. Recowvery is supposed to be the only way.
BTW, I don't trust root and unlock methods outside of xda. There are lots of clickbait articles, which has the potential to brick your device.

THIS!!!!
Other root methods and apps that root and all that stuff are just BEGGING for your phone to be destroyed. I used a KingRoot solution once on an old phone that no XDA certified method still worked on....it rooted it just fine. But all the added junk it installed as system files with highly restrictive permissions that made them impossible to remove essentially made the device unusable. This was an old phone I was just using for an experiment anyway so no loss. But it illustrates why any root methods not found on XDA are highly risky.
I mean, sometimes a questionable root method gets posted on XDA too. But it's usually debunked as a bad idea within a day or two. (Sometimes within an hour) So you can read about real world experience with that method on a specific device and know if you should avoid it or not.
And there are other Android developer sites like XDA that can give good root options and solutions, as well as good advice for a phone in general. I'm not suggesting that anything outside of XDA is crap. If you find a good root solution on another website that has a reputable history and you trust it, great.! But never google "Root my phone" and try the first option that pops up on some sketchy Chinese / Russian / Martian website.
Were you on updated nougat version and rolled back to v20a using lgup?
