[Q] New gtablet owner

I just bought a new gtablet. It has the latest TanpNTap. I actually like the TapnTap and is not bad at all. However I would like to know if I can do the following without rooting
1. Install apps from Amazon?
2. Install google apps
Do I need to be root for this? If rooting is needed can someone point to some links. If something goes wrong I want to be able to revert back to stock. I have read quite a bit and I can't figure out a step-by-step to root. I am not interested in installing a custom ROM like Vegan or TnT lite yet. I just want to see how far I can push the stock before I have to install custom ROM's.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Jimmy

I think you can install apps from Amazon without rooting. You just have to install the Amazon market from their site. For the Google market, look for the enhancement pack here on xda. You can install this without rooting.

Step by step to root:
Find z4root.
Download it.
Intall on your tab.
Run & root...
Really was that simple

Thanks everybody for the reply. If I root using the RzRoot can I easily un-root it in case I need to return the tablet? I was able to install apps from Amazon.
Thanks

I am not able to find files needed to root the stock 4349 gtab. Where is the enhancement pack? Can the enhancement pack for 3389 be used?
thanks

[Completed][Q] Versions? (CWM and ODIN)

Hi,
Today I rooted my phone. First with the automatic CF-Root thingy and Odin3-v3.07 but then later on I decided to go with CWM instead.
Now I'm realising that CWM isn't updated for my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), and I wish to re-root it, with the freshest versions available.
I've searched for the latest versions, but found nothing but malware and spam.
Questions: What ODIN version should I use? Link to it?
Is there a CWM version for my phone? Link to it?
Also, latest CF-Root link would be awesome!
Thanks guys.

Please review [HOW TO][UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER] Gain root, custom recovery, prep for modding on your S5
In case of further questions, please feel free to post on that thread.

Okay, now I'm using the AllianceRom, and not being able to wake the phone up by pressing the home button is driving me insane, can't find it anywhere in options. Help please?!

Which ROM do you recommend?
After spending what feels like an eternity (like 8 hours straight) with flashing, recovering, backing up, wiping, restoring etc. I'm just sick. So I installed the original image.
But that made me feel nauseous.
ALL I'm looking for is a light weight app, that allows me to disable all of the **** that clogs my phone and interface (Samsung Printer and pretty much every other Samsung app)
I don't want to be able to customize kernel values, I just want it to be lightweight, preferably power saving, and not much other than that.
I'm almost always using TWRP because I've never had a problem with it and the menus make sense.
Please, help me, what ROM fits me?

Okay, I found XtreStoLite and I'm in love.
Having a problem with Play Store though, it's not loading, as mentioned HERE. But since I have less than 10 posts I can not ask him or the developer how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] *not sure* Have a couple of questions about a samsung galaxy subversion.

You guys (admins) have made this site so difficult to navigate, so please move this thread to the appropriate subforum.
Anyway, I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Neo Plus (i9060M) and would like to make a backup of the stock rom as it is not available for downloading ANYWHERE! Yes, this must be a very rare low-end device that nobody uses.
How can I accomplish the above-mentioned task without rooting, if that's even possible.
Also, do any of you know of any methods I could try to root my device? *this is not as important, as I will probably try all possible steps JUST AFTER BACKING UP the stock rom., but if you have some idea, I'd appreaciate it*
Thanks

If I couldn't find and install the stock ROM, I wouldn't mess it up unless throwing the device in the trash bin was no loss. What about these?

About root, Google has the answer, and it's here on xda.

none of those work for me.
I actually found the stock rom for my device, but its hosted on some slow/restricted site and I cannot download it LOL.
If any of you can do me a favor and download it, then reupload it elsewhere, I would appreciate it

People must be earning millions of dollars hosting files on those ****ty servers.

[Completed] blu studio c super camera flashing and rooted questions

I got this phone, I used kingoroot to delete the bloatware. The build version is D870U_V10.
A few questions:
1. I accidentally deleted the calendar scheduler so I can't use the any calendar and re downloading doesn't work. How do I get it back?
2. I want to flash the new Android Nougat, or at least Marshmallow for now. (I never flashed a ROM before) Is there a version out there for my specific phone? Are ROMs model specific? Same with Kernels?
3. It seems custom recoverys are model specific as I can't find one for my phone. Is this the case and I just am out of luck or is there something I can do?
4. Also, I want to get the stock camera back. How do I find it? It is nowhere on the app store. The stock camera had the fastest shutter speed I ever seen, like an iPhone. So I want it back! haha
I am using kingoroot because it seems that is the only way to root my phone. I just want to make my phone faster and use less space as the BLU super camera doesn't have a super amount of RAM or space...

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
There isn't a specific forum for the Studio C so please post your questions here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
You'll receive expert advice there. Good luck!

Samsung Note 2, I want it secured, lightweight, and fast.

Hey Ya'll
Happy New Year.
I have new old phone Samsung Note 2.
I'm going to be using this phone but have concerns about security and speed .
I also want to root my phone so I can remove the bloatware and, possibly, get my processor clocked a bit faster (activating the reduntant cores to would be great).
This is what I've learned from searching here:
1) KIngRoot || Root King - oneclick apps from the play store
2) custom rom - like cynagenmod.
- i'll be able to use FireFox the way I do on my Linux machine, but other than that I'm just a run of the mill iPhone user.
What kind of advice do you guys have for me? I look forward to learning tx:fingers-crossed:

For the people viewing but not posting.
Here's something I found using a DuckDuckGo (XDA search just came up with ads) from the XDA forums.
Galaxy Note 2 Rooting.
Flashing Custom Roms.
After days of trying to figure this out I'm just more confused.
Everytime I use the XDA search bar I get ADS. Thanks XDA.
The two links I posted to help here have good descriptions but the links end up going nowhere eventually.
From what I've gathered (on my own) I need to:
1) Root using Odin (found it somewhere else)
2 ) Download a "Custom Recovery" CWM/TWRP (can't find a good download for the dam thing)
3) Download Gapps (again, can't find a good Download for the dam thing)
4) Download a Custom ROM for my phone (and again, can't find a download)
I don't understand. Everyone Raves about XDA but theres only text instructions. Everyone says how there are great developers here and how this is a gret forum but I've yet to find anything here and none of the people who viewed this post even replied....
If your reading this and are trying to Root your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I suggest you look somewhere else.
I don't think XDA is worth any of the hype people give it and we're just wasting our time here.

Hey, there.
First of all, you are new here and don't know how the XDA forums work, so be patient and don't jump to conclusions. Once you understand the forum's layout, you will see why everyone raves about XDA.
You first need to find your phone's subforum using search, and look there. It will have everything from general questions, rooting guides, to custom kernels, custom Roms, etc.
For your case, it's here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2
Easiest way to root your phone is using Kingroot.
Download apk here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22115
The custom ROM flashing guide you linked is general guide to flash any ROM and hence doesn't provide links. You need to find Rom you would like to flash(install) in the sub-forum and flash using that method.
Hit thanks if it helped. PM (private message) me if you need help.
