I rooted my Nexus 7 a while back and when I updated the android version I lost my root. It still says my bootloader is unlocked but it isn't. Could someone help me re-root my tablet?
Unlocked bootloader doesn't have anything to do with root. You can have a unlocked bootloader tablet with no root.
Anyway to answer your question, it's fairly easy to root it again. Check this thread. If you find it too complicated, try this one or this
You're welcome, just next time use the SEARCH button. These threads are always on the forums

I need help again, I went through the root process but the SuperSU installation isn't working, it says it failed.
Which method did you use? Can you give more details about the process you took to root your phone?

Search a video on YouTube called "Nexus 7 ROOT - How to Root Nexus 7! (Android 4.4/4.3/4.2.1/4.2.2)"
As you already know my boat loader is already unlocked and all I had to do was install the root app (SuperSU) and recover my tablet. But after I recovered I tried to update and it failed, still no root access.
Do you have 3G version? Here is another guide for you.. I thought you got the newer 2013 edition so the previous links were not that useful

Haha I was going to tell why you gave me the 2013 model links, that's why I went on YouTube instead. Anyways I have the WiFi version.
Found you the best and easiest solution. Try this.

Heres the issue. I am no noob at this whatsoever and have tried EVERYTHING. I have used every program I could find to attempt root and none can seem to gain root access. The install SuperUser or SuperSU and every time root fails even if said app is installed. Please help Im doing a talk on August 20th that I NEED this device for. All help appreciated. Thanks!
Im slightly confused as your sig says rooted stock
But anyway I recently got myself a Razr HD and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241788 to root and unlock bootloader
My device was 4.1.2 and I did not want to downgrade but this one worked :victory:
More info needed. Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, which firmware are you on?

Thank you, I think I may have worked out my issue! I was using 1.2 of that program. I think thats why. Let me give this a go
Tried again with this guy and still got failure. I always get this:

Ok well what do you know. 3rd times the charm eh? I tried a third time this time after reflashing stock firmware, antennas, etc... Thanks!

Hi. I am a noob at rooting. Which of your unlocking and rooting method should I use for a Verizon HTC DNA that is updated to its current version of Kit-Kat? Firewater? I just did a factory reset for a fresh start. I have not installed any "user apps." Basically it is cleaned. This is my first at rooting a phone, but I have rooted Kindle Fire once. I do know about the warranty. I would also like to know a method to unroot as well incase I want to go back for any reason. Need help as soon as possible.

No, I have not started on anything because not sure what the first step is. Sorry for my question. I have been looking online, including youtube for the answer. I most likely find how-tos that are outdated and wasn't sure if they would still work.

Unlocking the bootloader is fully guided on HTCdev.com. You will need more steps like installing a custom recovery and a superuser app using the custom recovery. If your not sure about what to do, you can use Teamviewer and i will perform unlocking / rooting for you
This toolkit may also help you WinDroid HTC Toolkit

I've been looking around and it seems there isn't a lot we can do with the AT&T Note Pro? I've rooted and let SuperSU disable KNOX for me. Should I just go ahead and start debloating via TiBU or is there more that I can do? Thanks!
EDIT: Also if I install the newest update for it can I still root?
Well, it seems I may not be able to root after updating. Even after getting the PRO version of SuperSU and checking the box to try and get root to survive, I have lost root. Also now Towelroot says my device is no longer supported. I know I read of another root method, so I will try that and report back.

Well the other root method (CF-AutoRoot) isn't compatible with the P907A. So... can anyone give me some guidance on how to revert to an older firmware. I'm sure it's possible I just haven't ever had to do it, so I don't really know how.

I created a post outlining what to do in the Note Pro General forum.
This quote is from the crash root thread, my mini is on SU4.21 screen shot of status below, if I can unlock or get root and bypass the hotspot block unlimited data please provide a link to the thread that explains how to to it, thanks!
_ck_ said:
By the way if it is not clear to newbies, if you are fortunate enough to get a phone with SU4.21 instead of SU6-x, do NOT, I repeat do NOT flash VZW-4.4.4-SU6-7-release-keys.xml
Because then you are taking a valuable phone that can unlock the bootloader and forcing it to upgrade and it can never be downgraded again to SU4 from SU6
ie. the SU6 cannot unlock bootloader at this time, the SU4 can via sunshine
you CAN root the SU4 but it is using a different file than in this thread

This is a screen of my new droid mini, when I run sunshine it passes but tries to temp root and just reboots, never gets past rebooting. Can you link to the info on unlocking SU4.21 you mention please? Thank you

doitinthedirt said:
Kingroot did the trick, and I used an app that I have on my moto x to bypass the hotspot block, also froze the ota app so it wont update. All is fine without unlocking it, but when it reboots the root is gone and I need to rerun kingroot, is this the way kingroot works, or should it maintain root through a reboot? Im not sure I like the idea of leaving kingroot on the phone, I will probably unlock it with sunshine and do a factory reset and try rooting it a permanent way, thats something I've never done before, I mean install a custom rom and root that way. Do I need to install a custom rom in order to root permanently? Id rather not do that, but if its the only way than I will attempt it.

No if you use sunshine then u can perment root without installing a custom ROM I know on my droid turbo after I installed twrp and ran it the first time it will ask you first thing if you want to root swip yes and it's done permently I assume it's the same way with the mini
guys i want to root my phone on the fast and very simple way possible.
found this root method on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu
this is the link for the root method https://download.chainfire.eu/982/C...Auto-Root-heroqltetmo-heroqltetmo-smg930t.zip
i did not tryed it my self yet. but if theres a user that rooted their phone that way, let me know.

I don't think this will work unless we get our Bootloader unlocked (which hasn't been done yet as far as i know)
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !
this is kind of lame.... why chainfire release a auto root if the thevice have bootloader locked down? and onlockable?
Confused myself
I want to say root is possible, there are tons of sites with instructions: https://www.google.com/search?q=SM-...i57j0j69i60.9343j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Of course, XDA doesn't seem to have a specific G930T thread for rooting with instructions, then see threads like this today. I was all set to give it a try, but unsure if should proceed...
Did find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/sm-g930t-root-doesnt-void-warranty-t3415936
EDIT: so the one linked in original comment was the bleeding edge root process and seems like had a really high failure rate. Most current I've seen is: http://lifeatsamsung.com/root-t-mobile-galaxy-s7-sm-g930t-2/
Seems a little more clean cut and easy. I'll edit again if I find a newer solution or at least commentary on success/fail
In comments OP posts:
Yes I am planning to make a video tutorial.
Also I used the method provided here (this is Max Lee's website)

So the solution and all the fixes, etc is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Worked for me, no problem. Even installed the debloated, deox'd ROM. Unfortunately after root you will need to follow rest of guide, otherwise you will see some lag issues.
On the other side of it, phone is great, fast, if not faster than before, and got root. Let me know if you would like some screenshots proving a TMO phone is rootable or if can answer any questions

So what does this mean in layman's terms. Can I root the device safely with full functionality or not? Are there plans to get a rooted bootloader? And what does this mean because I thought the TMO version had a qualcom processor...

This means that the only rooting method right now isn't as stable as it would be if it had a unlocked bootloader the root right now will cause some issues but they can easily be fix from some of the steps after rooting guides that are in the xda forums and yes it using a Qualcomm processor Witch is pretty much the snapdragon and there hasn't been any luck this past year of getting the bootloader unlocked for full and smooth rooting I'm really ****ty at explaining sorry if your still lost
The Chainfire method he released does NOT work. I'm not sure why he released it...maybe he knows of a future bootloader unlock that we don't know about.

@KillerClaw321 I am at the machine now and have tried running CMD in admin mode. Still no joy. What are the beat adb drivers to use for AMD machine? Maybe the drivers are the problem? What else can I try? I am on PK1 as the phone is new from the store yesterday and a fresh shipment to them the day before.
I also see a DM verification verify failed dialogue at the bottom when i try the factory reset. No DRK
