hey so ive never rooted an android device and the shield tablet root thread is kinda dead and i didnt understand it. so can anyone give me a really thorough explanation on how to root my tablet, also ive already installed lollipop.
Hi,
I am assuming you men shield tablet, not 2.0 version?
It would be best to ask for help in the thread you are trying to follow.
Is this it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...t-root-nvidia-shield-tablet-lollipop-t2972316
I will say this.... It should be as simple as following the instructions one step at a time... Exactly as they are written. If you don't understand it, you likely should read up on this some more. Before you do anything. Asking people will just lead to them quoting the same instructions to you.
Doing this stuff to our devices is dangerous if we are lost. If you value your device and don't want to ruin it, I'd read as much as you can from your device section and learn about the things you don't understand.
Just my 2 cents. ?
Good luck!

Hi all I know there is a lot of guides on here for rooting Xooms, but after trying to root my Australian Xoom and bricking it I would really appreciate if someone can write a guide detailing all the steps from what software is need to how to root and install HC3.1
Like I said I know there is a lot of guides on here but I cant risk doing the wrong rooting process again, as the shop wont fall for a faulty app install twice !
Many thanks to all the devs on here making our Xooms so much better!!

Hi yes I have seen this one but the guides it links too are not really newbie friendly, they assume I already know what they are talking about

I had no idea what adb was until a week ago, i just went through it all step by step. Its not that hard to learn, as long as you follow it exactly as written you can't go too wrong. If you have any problems there's heaps of people here who can help you anyway.
There is a few guides in the Q & A section, which is where this should have been posted also.

Hi Guys
I have been following these xda forums for a while now but never registered until now. Please forgive me if this is the wrong section to post this under, any moderators feel free to move if need to, I am fairly new to android, I have an android tablet Asus TF101 and used a guide on here to root. a while back.
After a long wait I have finally gotten a new phone after having an old nokia 5800, well still waiting for it to be delivered, the new Padfone Infinity a86 I have searched and searched for methods to root the device, but can not seem to find any, at least any that seem legitimate does any one know if there is a root method available for it?
Second after looking into and rooting my tablet I would quite like to get into custom roms, but not quite confident in that area yet as I do not have the know how to fix it incase I brick it, Is there any youtube videos/channels anyone can reccomend I can watch. and rom manager is that worth looking at as I did hear some decent things about that.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Kind Regards
Majon.

Rooting für das New Padfone Infinity A86
But This page is in German language.
The tool itself is in chineese, even. But there is only One Button, so no way to be wrong
thank you for reply, i ended up using kingoapp after i read that the threads were reopen because kingoapp had been working with xda
thanks again

Working root for The New Padfone Infinity a86
For all users, who don't want to use Kingoapp, take a look at this Thread.
I'm brand spanking new to rooting and I'm trying to learn to root my IdeaTab S6000-F. The XDA start guide said to read, read, read but where's the first chapter? Everywhere I go they're already throwing words like apk, exploits, xposed, modules, superuser, su binary, etc. What the hell are those things?
I wouldn't mind having a step-by-step to rooting my tablet to an android 5.1 but I guess you guys don't have my tablet supported? I see Yoga and ThinkPad but they're not compatible with IdeaTab. Yoga has similar specs but there was a post that said rooting via the same way as Yoga failed. ThinkPad have different processors than IdeaTab so I don't think any of those guides help. I did find this link (primehowto.com/root-lenovo-ideatab-s6000f-running-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean/) but there's been a couple of threads saying any outside help threads are fake so I don't know who to trust.

Hello, Ron here.
I have a Cricket Galaxy S4 (i337z)
I am wanting to upgrade to a new OS (right?) other than the one that came with my Cricket phone. (4.4.2 kit kat ?)
I would like to see what Lolipop is like and if possible with out rooting.
I saw some threads about just that but it was for AT&T.
Since AT&T and Cricket are the same now (I think) would that be the same.
I also am not sure what would be better operating system than the 4.4.2 that is OEM on my phone.
I don't know if I want to root or keep it stock.
All I have read just gets me more confused .
From what I have seen the difference between kitkat and lolipop is like Windows 7 and Windows 8 and I absolutely hate Windows 8 . (worst os ever)
Which threads show in depth with step by step by step ( yes I am totally phone IT challenged) how to do this and what are the risks in doing so.
What are the bells and whistles available that are worth it for the upgrade.
Please use layman's terms and no acronyms because I probably would not understand what you are trying to tell my newbie brain.
I am really wanting to learn how to do this stuff and I figure you guys are the ones to point me in the right direction.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts on my behalf.
Ron
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist.

Hello, new member here. Let me start with I apologize if there is a general tutorial explaining everything I am about to ask, I have looked and cant seem to find one. I know and understand how to root and what the basics are that it allows. I have rooted several phones for the sole reason of cleaning preinstalled apps to make more space. The problem is I bricked my last phone and am now using my new LG G Stylo. I have no real idea about what or how recoveries work. Also kernels and roms. I am looking for a general tutorial explaining pretty much everything about rooting. Like how to mAke and use a recovery, what roms are and how to use them, same with kernels. Nothing too in depth, just the basics so that when I do root this phone I can have a recovery ready and set up, and get the full potential of rooting.
Also if anyone knows of a tutorial for the LG G Stylo by metro (LGMS631) that goes over the best setup for this phone for speed,space, an functionality.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thank You, Nikkon

Thank you, I thought about there first but figured that doesnt make sense. My questio.s are mainly general. I was only stating my new phone and asking a quick aquestion abbout that, but the main gist of this post has nothing to do with the LG G Stylo. The main questions and even topic of post is general questions just explaining what it means to root and what kernels, roms, etc. actually are. In general. Thank you for some type of feedback tho. Its appreciated.
