If you use Root Explorer you should be able to still copy the file to your sd card.
Then you can send it to me and i can see if you are able to root it and if there is
any backup firmware for your device. :good:

There is 2 colors on N9300 (Black and White)
I found the firmware for black. Click here for Download
IF you use in on white it wont work. What color do you have?
My advice is to just root it. It wont brick it and then tell me if you are
successful or not. If not i will think of another way.

This application can only root your device... it cannot move apps.
If you want to move apps or need to uninstall unnecessary applications then you can install Link2SD application (ROOT NEEDED)

Framaroot...1.4.1 is an old one from October last year..the latest is 1.93 and that does not even run anyway (immediately has a message saying basically that this exploit does not work for the system)..anyway both do not work
EDIT
i also tried srs one click root..went through several reboots,,,and said at the end the rooting was a success and that superuser apk was installed..but it wasn't
may have a go at it again later..(it came up with a message to accept and i missed it and it timed out on me)

Unlock is required before trying any root method.
use below URL to apply for unlock code:
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=unlock&action=apply
It's a Chinese web page, but easy to guess.
If the web page doesn't work, take a snapshot of the phone box with IMEI and SN number, send to [email protected] requesting for unlock code.
They'll reply in 2~4 weeks, too slow. An email with 16 number unlock code.
Use fastboot unlock OEM to unlock the bootloader.
Root and 3rd party recovery is only possible after the unlock.
For now, you cannot unlock even if you get the code
I unlocked bootloader , but the root can not be done any program .
I did unlock and someone showed that the root genius can root the phone via adb command.
The bad news is that I can't install the adb driver somehow
Root genius can not handle it . I can not install any CWM recovery. Maybe someone has any advice ?

Just send Huawei an Email with your IMEI #, Model Number, Serial Number and Product Number telling them you keep getting an error when trying to unlock your phone from their website. That's what I did. Of course you need to be unlocked before you can do any of the following.
-Make sure you have the drivers installed for the phone
-Plug the USB cable into the computer and into the phone
-Turn phone off and while turning it back on hold volume down and phone will enter download mode
-Download Android Platform tools from my Dropbox I made it easier for everyone. (The super_bootb013.apk file is included)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7dgdl6r2nftz5mt/AABvdjdt4a4zRNAsSE1QR2Oaa?dl=0
-Right click on the Android Platform Tools folder while holding in Shift and select Open Command Window Here
-When the command prompt opens type in fastboot flash boot super_boot.b013.img
-After it finishes, type in fastboot reboot. The phone will boot normally.
-Then you have two options. Download SuperSU from the Google Play Store, install it, open up and update the binary if it prompts you.
or
-Included in my Android Platform Tools folder is the Superuser.apk file. Just install that manually, then open it and update the binaries. When you reboot you will be rooted. This works on B013 only.
-I also installed the Chinese TWRP and even though I can't read Chinese, I have no problems getting around in it.

There is no custom rom for SM-T231... But you can root it to customise it like lollipop. And Whatsapp don't need root access. Your daughter can use it without rooting the tab.

In settings > security, enable installation from unknown sources. Download the apk file from apkmirror to your tablet. Open the apk file with a file explorer, install

Did you try Whatsapp in other devices ?
You can get 'application not compitable' error for three ressons :
1. Some apps are marked as only being compatible with certain phones or tablets. However, they may run just fine on unsupported devices.
2. Some apps are only allowed to be installed in certain countries.
3. All apps have a minimum version of Android they require.
I think your problem is either No. 1 or No. 2 .
For Problem No. 1, you can download & install Merket Helper app. This app needs root permission. This can chenge the device model Name. Replace the name with a supported device. Know more about Merket Helper App here .
For problem No. 2, Download the .APK file of Whatsapp from here and install it.

Thank you guys for the update. I love the new TWRP. Works well on the SM-T230NU.
Huge thanks to @reas0n and @BRoy_98
I made a flashable zip for those that are interested. - just reboot to recovery > flash zip > reboot recovery (to check out the new TWRP) > reboot system
