I have a Verizon Elipsis 8 Tablet. There is no root method developed. I am an "advanced amateur" - I am not afraid to roll my sleeves up and make improvements on my device. I understand hardware and software but am not by a means a "developer". I'm interested in trying my hand at maybe developing a root method. I have googled the subject but I cant find anything. can someone point me in the right direction as to how to learn about this? Thank you.

I've been advised that Titanium Backup is the best backup solution for the GT-P6210. That's fine and lovely. Apparently I have to root the device first... There appears to be dozens of topics on this but no concise - dare I say 'idiots guide' - to rooting.
I'm a newbie to Android but have been nobbing around with Windows for longer than I care to mention so I would like to think that I'd be okay with doing this, I'm just looking for a nice and simple root guide to set me on my way.
Would anyone be in a position to point me in the direction please?
err did you forget that you've already ask...

I am having much difficulty rooting my phone. My phone is a Docomo NEC Medias N-06C running Android 2.3.6.
So far I have tried Z4Root, Universal Androot and Gingerbreak. No luck.
I have no computer skills, so trying to use SupeOneClick or other computer programs have proven impossible for me. I have the drivers for the phone, but no idea how to install them in WIndows.
Can anyone recommend a good tool to use to download onto the phone and root from there?
Wow, a week and not a single reply. Either no one knows, or no one cares. Both makes this forum a huge disappointment. I thought this was the place to go for smart advice. I was wrong.
You have to develope it by your own, doesn't exist yet

No one here has yet created this for: your device, sadly when it comes to rooting it depends on if a developer owns the device your attempting to mod. In this case No there's no one here at Xda. Be sure to use Google thoroughly and search everything available for device you want to root. If there is nothing out there meaning no dev has ever developed anything for your specific device your next option is this " Search for a device that is similar in specs such as cpu/gpu, processor speeds, firmware versions. Now if you find devices that are similar.
"For example my device Sgh-T679 Samsung Galaxy Exhibit ⁴g has a similar device the Sgh-T679M Samsung GalaxyW they are very similar meaning devs used builds from the Sgh-T679M and ported them to the Sgh-T679 For Example: the sgh-T679 never had anything higher than Android 2.3.6 released in it. Using Sgh-T679M builds we've successfully ported over Android 4.0.4-4.1.*"
All the How To Guides are located on the web(actually if search here at Xda everything you'll need can be found here) If there are no mirror devices for the one you are using then I'm sorry if your not a developer then you may be S.O.L. Hope this has helped you and goodluck, I'm sure some where out there on the web there's someone out there who's already worked towards rooting your device. Find what you need look up the How To's you'll need to achieve what your looking for and read up If your computer literate then you may possibly be able to do it on your own. Also remember there are emulators and Android Sdk that you can use on your PC as a developing tool so you can test out the rom on your PC first. It basically I'd a program that runs your Android device in your computer so you call mod, test see what works and what doesn't work start over mod, reapply and have no risk of bricking your device in the mean time. I wish you luck and welcome to Xda.
I promise you I know computers can seems like trying to read a language you've never heard of before but here at Xda the great Developers have created flawless guides on How To's for everything involved with Android Open Source Project.
Edit: I reread your post and see you said your not very computer savy please just use the guides provided and or you will learn or meet someone along the way who will be more than happy to help you achieve what you ate trying to do goodluck friends wish you well

Hi guys.
I just read Chainfire's post on obtaining root on Lollipop
https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/VxjfYJnZAXP
I didn't understand it all, but I think I got the message that it will be hard to obtain root without a modified kernel.
Kernels can't be modified on a device with a locked bootloader.
Does this mean that Bump! (tm) will save our ass with future LP roms?
I tell you what man.. honestly..
every time anything new comes out.. games.. software.. anything..
people say for awhile "they might have beat us this time"
someone always finds a way
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?

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!
I have owned a ZTE Axon Pro for about 5 months now and no root has come out for it. I'm very upset with the software updates that ZTE is pushing for my device and would like to be able to flash a custom ROM but no root is out for the device as of now. I have a fair amount of experience with Linux and programming and would be interested in undertaking the root myself, but also don't want to brick my phone on the first try. I also have no idea where to even get started and was hoping for some pointers. It'd be great to bring value to my beautiful phone and others that have the same phone.
