Been looking for this for months now. I guess this is going to be one device that will not be rooted. Heck if I knew it was going to be so difficult I might have looked at getting a different device

I should have held out for the Tab 3 or looked into it first, I thought that there was a slam dunk it was going to be rooted by the time I was ready I didn't even look to see if it was.

[Q] Same root method for Memo Pad Smart 10?

Better thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153331
I know this is in the wrong section, but I couldn't find a section for the Memo Pad Smart 10 so I'm asking here as the TF300 seems to have almost identical specs.
First off, I only needed a light duty tablet, I have a GNoteII for my phone so I'm not in need of an expensive powerhouse of a tablet as I only wanted a larger screen for some traveling stuff and what not.
But I would like to be able to root and unlock the bootloader on my new tablet once I get it. But I wasn't sure if there was such a thing already in the works, where I could look for it if it is, or if I could somehow help out by providing data from the device when it arrives at my house tomorrow.
If any Dev's out there wanted info from me I'd be happy to help out as much as I can. I'm by no means capable of doing it myself, but I know how ADB works and such so I would be willing to help.
TIA.

Bump
I'm getting one later today, and I'm pretty curious about the rooting options as well
Hence the bump.

Haven't found any solution for it yet, if I knew how the process worked I would try to make it happen. But I'm totally out of my element in getting that done.

Hey guys, I'm still searching for the original OTG adapter, does anyone mind ti sell his, to me?
how to root the asus memo pad me301t
Hey I was on Toshiba forums and they have a root method. By using motocrunch not the bootloader aspect just the root you can gain root that way. The original link to the convo is http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...est-rooting-guide-me301t-android-4-1-1-a.html

It doesn't come with one or at least mine didn't just buy one from ebay I got one from there for less than $2
Oh and mine says there was another system update available yesterday but I'm reluctant to install it.I already got the 4.2.1 update does anyone know if the new update will remove root.

It probably will. Others have had luck restoring root using voodoo ota root keeper. I didn't.
But motochopper rooted me again after the 4.2.1 update.
I'll check for updates when I get home and let you know.

is anyone having any audio playback issues with their memo pad?
when streaming HD video from iPlayer or youtube etc, the audio is out of sync for me, which is really annoying!
Another thread has all the up to date in to on root and bootloader unlock for this device.
I'm going to close this one and link to the other here and in the OP.

Because, thus far, Verizon has made development a royal PITA. Plus, its still pretty early. Simple as that.
Yeah its only been a week, I too am surprised by this but even with no root it should be picking up users within a few weeks.
No root would mean much smaller traffic here. Then you have rubes like me waiting (perhaps futilely) for a 32gb model who will stick with their S4 until one is offered.
Just wait men,
I feel like going back to my m7 or picking up an m8 until development picks up here.

not hopeful. unless there is a leak from inside samsung.
look at the note 3. its pretty dead from an AOSP perspective. and even TW based roms, nobody can apply future kernel upgrades so its a dead end route.
at this point anyone who wants anything custom from their phones should probably not look at samsung devices.
Hopefully when the dev version is released this picks up more.
I'm at a crossroads right now... My S3 smashed 2 weeks ago so I picked up a M8 because there was no release date for the S5 yet. I have since ordered the S5 and planned on returning the M8 (very nice phone by the way but not super impressed with the camera). Flipping a coin and keeping the S5 hoping for root, etc. or keeping the M8 and root immediately.... merrrrrrrrrrrr

I'd have to vote M8. I've had mine since release day and it's S-Off and running Viper. I'm really liking the M8, camera and all. I got the S5 yesterday and I messed with it all last night and today, so far my impression is "Meh... really?" Not loving the S5 yet.

I felt the same way as you but didn't want to wait. Keep an eye on slickdeals for a fast 64gb micro sd. The new fast ones (I got the Samsung Plus 64gb) and honestly you can really notice the read write time performance. I'm never waiting for apps/pics/vids to load from my micro sd on this phone. It's just like internal memory. I directly compared this with my slightly older sandisk 64gb micro from last year and it's night and day. I got it for $32 on a deal but it's $46 now on amazon. It won't let me post external links since I'm new.
Totally worth being an early adopter. Order your 16GB S5 with that card and don't look back. If you need a ton of space down the road, get a fast 128gb micro sd when it launches.
Might be blabbering here.. but you can't discount the speed of sd cards. You can't think of it like 48mb/s, but more like 10mb/.2 seconds. This little bursts are what your apps and other things need to boot quickly.
I got the S3 the day it come out on Verizon. There were issues with a locked bootloader and what-not with that. It was just a matter of time until you could unlock it with a simple app install.
I do like my S5 as it is. I do hope with time there'll be work arounds for what Verizon had put in place.

You are obviously not acquainted with changes made since the S3. Take a look at the S4 forums, the only way you can unlock the bootloader is if your phone came with a specific firmware and you did not do any OTA updates to change it. This is because of a specific exploit found in that version, which Samsung/Verizon quickly patched and the phone has been locked down ever since. Sure, it's possible that an exploit will be found in the VZW S5 but it won't be something simple as downloading an app and clicking "Unlock". And you can believe as soon as it's public, it will get patched with an OTA.

I vividly remember this as well. It's only a matter of time before root or bootloader unlock is achieved. Some developer out there will want to come to the rescue. I know several that love playing hero

I'm pretty sure bootloader is locked up pretty tight, so rooting it will be like rooting AT&T note 4 no root as of yet.
I too will be eagerly waiting for root. I can live without changing ROMs/kernels but until I got the Edge I never really knew how much I needed root for everyday things.
Yes, Please I am also looking for a root to the AT&T Note Edge N915A.
Also I hear the new OS lollipop is coming to the Note 4 & edge around the first of 2015.
I'm looking for a root for the AT&T note edge as well.
+1 hell I'll throw down some money to the person/persons that get us root.

It may be worth pledging for root (just note that it has to work for ATT note edge in your comment) in this thread. I assume if it worked for the note 4 it will work for us
It says Verizon in the title but the thread is for both ATT and Verizon variants.
(If there is an ATT specific thread for bounty please link it)

I'm willing to put in $100 towards getting this rooted.
.I bought mine as an AT&T and not even knew it it said T Mobile in the ad it takes my tmobile Sims but its the AT&T version so its locked up I guess but hasn't it been unlocked to put T Mobile on it that's what I don't understand. anyways I still have my note 3 and its rude if I love it I use everyday I spent $800 on the edge and I want it rooted bad I'll put $100 towards getting it rooted if we can figure out a way
Does anybody know how to get a pledge going let's get up let's going for the AT&T note edge please I need root I can't grow without roots
I'm really suprised that no one has made a root for this version of the note edge.
They already have root for the note 4 and edge for AT&T and Verizon. It's supposed to be released soon. Go look in the note 4 thread

SM-N915A Android is Upgrading
Sorry to change the subject, im all for root as well. Just need some advice. At&t variant seems to be the only one without any support for the firmware, Im going through hell trying to get mine out of a boot loop! It says android is upgrading, optimizing apps, and only goes to 102 sometimes. it says 267 apps and shuts off at 30, 40 50 and 102 is the closest it got. It keeps re booting and staying in the same cycle. Ive searched high and low through every site and forum for a fix. The down side is I am not a At&t account holder so they wont help with any support. I bought it off of craigslist to use it with straight talk and it worked great for about a month and then this update for lollipop and now stuck!!! Can anyone advise?
where is an official rom
where is an officil rom of sm-n915a and how can i unlock the wifi to see others wifi but at t?

Have a copy of the firmware for a "friend who is having problems with lollipop and wants to downgrade" or some other bs excuse. If someone could get a hold of it, it would help everyone!

Just be thankful, ATT and VZW are all in the same boat. One thing that can be troublesome for us on ATT though is we don't have any stock firmware images I'm aware of.

Same boat as you. Note 4 on hand ready to be sold. Waiting to see what happens on Thursday, but don't hold your breath..........If root is found for the Verizon Note 4, it should be simple to port to the Edge.

I plan on getting one tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous that Verizon has still not confirmed the launch. I think that our hopes for root depend on the efforts of the Note 4 with it's huge bounty. If that bounty gets some publicity I would imagine some Linux pros could get on it and get it done. And if they get it done one of our awesome devs could port it to the Edge. My fingers are crossed. :fingers-crossed:

From what I've read in the Note 4 forums, finding root on Lollipop is more likely than finding root on KitKat. Also, there is supposed to be a Developer Edition released soon. While this won't help root on the retail version, that is another possibility if you really want root.

Carrier specific forum?

I searched and couldn't find the T Mobile S7 forum. Is the phone too new still or an I wasting space and need to search better?
Still not sure how I got mine today, almost 2 weeks ahead of its release but I'm not going to complain.
Wondering the same thing
I got mine today also but not at home.

Lol ouch. Unfortunately its true from what I hear. Some companies get joy in taking the fun out of everything.
With that said I really want to recompile the kernel with root privileges but that's too far above my level. I just need to learn a bit of patience lol
