Hey guys I recently purchased an Nvidia shield tablet. I want to root so I can move installed apps to SD. I haven't found much help. I have a Mac and the shield is on 5.0.1. I don't have much experience in adb/fastboot other than the little I did on my OPO. What I'm asking is where do I start as far as commands?how do I unlock boot loader then flash a custom recovery. Sorry if this has been asked I've tried not asking but everything I saw was on KitKat or using towelroot which no longer works.

Hello,
I purchased a Zeepad 7DRK with the plans of it just being a simple remote for my Chromecast's.
When the device came in there are a lot of crappy bloat applications installed on the device that I am unable to remove.
I purchased this item 1. because it was cheap only $45 2. because at least the earlier version came already rooted.
Well this one did not come rooted. I installed root checker and was able to confirm this.
Does anyone know if this device is able to be root? or if anyone is working one it?
It looks like this is one of their new models and I am not able to find much information on it.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You'll need to put a custom recovery on your device before you can flash a Rom. Please see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361122

Hello, this is herna from XDA Assist.
I´ve searched for your device along XDA and it does not seems to be a very famous tablet in terms of development. We can´t provide you any root mode, since the developers are who get this on work, and not XDA itselfs.
You could try to get root using the Kingroot application, which seems to be very famous on getting root without recovery.
I wish you to get root on your tablet, and in case you don´t, try to Google about the device, and maybe you will have luck and get one root mode for it.
Cheers!
This is my 2nd phone of this model.I rooted the 1st with Kingroot and had nothing but trouble thereafter.
Ended up bricking it After changing boot animations.
I'm wondering if another way has been found to gain root with this phone.
