Z4root

Ok for rom manager and titanium is z4root sufficient?
Or do I need root for more steps in the flashing process?
All in all is a temp root sufficient or do I NEED perma root?

Do the full root, i don't think z4root will do anything.
You have to have S-OFF to flash anything btw.
Perma. Fully root your phone to avoid problems. You lose root when you turn off your phone so if you wanna flash something, you WILL need Perma root.

And s-off like wade7919 said. But that will be taken care of during the rooting process

[Q] Rooted but not really

I updated my phone to Jellybean. I used OTA rootkeeper to keep root. I then restored root using the same app. After doing this, I don't really have root. In OTA rootkeeper, it says that the device is rooted but the "root permission granted" box is not checked. Anything I can do to recover root without having to flash a custom recovery or do a full data wipe on my phone? Thanks in advance!

i think when you go from and ICS to JB update the root keeper method fails to restore root. i have only had luck when updating from different versions of ICS.

It won't. It fails to obtain root access.

Oh goody. Is there one that won't force me to do a full data-wipe? If not, which do you recommend? Thanks.

This is the only method I'm aware of to root jb. It will keep all your data and it's not add difficult as it looks.

Michley 900 root?

My sister bought a michley 900 used from BrandsMart not too long ago and she tried to install Constant Guard from comcast and it won't allow saying it's rooted. I've not rooted it nor has my nephew and they aren't versed enough.
I've found no root method online. There isn't a super user app installed and I've run a root checker and a have fx file explorer with root add on installed and can edit at the root level.
Could it be that this tablet isn't locked down? Any ideas?
So no one has any info? Wrong thread? A slight push I the right direction?

Try framaroot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
If that doesn't work then try the tool in my signature.
It comes with a root command.
most of the time with these generic tablets they come prerooted, i dont think you can remove it (unless you know what your doing) but if you want to take ahold of it download superSU or Superuser from the martket.
It's rooted already. I'm trying to figure out how.

like i said just install superSU or Superuser from the play store.
Our posts came in seconds apart. I have since installed SuperSU. She was trying to install some security suite apps available through her Internet provider and it wouldn't let her due to it being rooted.

like i said i dont think theres a way to unbrick it on generic tablets, i think you can try to unroot via superSU or Superuser, one of them has the option i think and you might be able to find a apk for security suite that gets rid of the root checker or whatever its doing.

Android pay ota and keep root

If i take this ota does it all me to re root
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Premium HD app
You cant take the ota if you are rooted. It will dl but wont install if you twrp or another recovery. You need to be 100% stock and yes the same root process works from what i can find.
Just incase that didn't make sense.
When your rooted the updates show up and if you click the update or start the update..... it will download and try to install but it fail and give an error because you are rooted. So to answer your question nothing will happen if you try an update. You won't loose root but you also won't get the update installed either.
In order to update during a root you need to do it all manually with files provided on here. OTA or stock updates wont take and will just fail.
Tripped KNOX, bye OTA and Samsung Pay.
If you are stock with Knox tripped, you can still take ota. You can't take the ota ifbubr rooted.
