Hi,
I'm looking for a tablet with Android,
Updates are very important to me and a
good support from the community.
Is there any device?
Personally, I own a Samsung Tab S3. It's been on the market long enough to have root solutions.
If you get the Tab S3 get it used or on craigslist. It's easy to trip the Knox fuse on that one if you root it.

Hey XDA,
I am rather new here but love the site and more so, love phones and making them reach there best potential
Anyway. I have a Samsung Galaxy fit, It has the latest Updates (2.3.4) and its baseband is S5670XWKQ4
I am just wondering if there are any decent custom ROMS for this device and if there is a nice easy way to root it. I have searched and found some rooting methods, but those methods were before the latest Update to my phone and as such I wonder if all I will do is brick my phone lol.
I have heard of the SuperOneclick method but I need to go and check it out to see if it is compatible with my phone.
I am choosing to do this now as I am fairly sure due to the Galaxy fit being more of a Budget smartphone that its unlikely to get ICS
I look forward to your advice guys. Cheers
I currently use a Samsung Galaxy SIII on verizon. I did the whole rooting and bootloader thing (whatever you call it). Im in the market for a new phone and was wanting some insight on what new phones are out there that i can do the same thing. I love the ability to load custom roms and do away with all the bloatware that come with every phone. Can some one help out with letting me know what phone still has the capability to root like i did my SG3. I keep reading that the new galaxy phones are impossible to root anymore. I was leaning towards the note 4 but it looks like theres not root for it. Im looking for a phone that I know can be rooted (along with the bootloader) and where i can use custom roms. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
you won't get your question answered on XDA. I suggest you search for the best phone you should pick yourself. For the ability to root the phone you desire, I recommend you to have a look if there is a device forum on XDA and that the phone is rootable.
Good luck!

Why you can't root your Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon on 5.1.1.
========================================
1.) The Bootloader is locked so you can't like flash a package to root your phone.
2.) There are no true exploits...
^ This means that there are no exploits for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon, what do I mean by this ? Well I don't consider a FLASH FILE to be a exploit of some sorts mostly because this root method is using recovery or download mode.
3.) I hope knox dies in a fire somewhere.
4.) No one is developing a exploit to root the Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon without tripping knox
^ Why is this ? Well unlike the iOS jailbreaking community where to jailbreak your iphone you need to use a exploit that somebody put into a executable that will also install cydia and mobile substrate. We have gotten to used to using recovery mode or download mode to root a device, so when a device comes out with a locked bootloader people don't want to take the time to make a exploit for this new device.
=======================================
If anybody can post a better thread about
why you can't root the Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon on 5.1.1.
that will be much appreciated.

1. So you can't like, root it, like ever ever?
2. Sure there are, some people may simply choose not to publicly share them.
3. Knox isn't so bad. It's no worse than a locked boot loader.
4. No one? Did you confirm with all of *them*?
Also: s/a/an is OK sometimes.
s6 is like the note 3 not enough people care about it,like an unjailbroken iphone were just another sheep in the flock ,i actually hate my s6 compared to my s5 (should of never switched)they took a great phone and in my opinion ruined it all the best features i used to love are no more i find myself using my iphone more and more lateley (jailbroken of course).just my thoughts have a great day all.
I feel the same way about my S6 compared to my S4. I didn't have a problem with the plastic build, the SD card, the removable battery, and the perfect size and screen. All they had to do was speed up the internals and that's it. I too should have kept my S4. Next phone is gonna be Nexus for sure.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I understand there currently is no way to root it without tripping Knox. Now I dont want to get rid of my phone as I really do like it and probably intend to stick with future Galaxy products.
However I would like a rooted device so I figured maybe a tablet would work. So my question is, what is some modern tablet that I could buy and root without voiding warranty. It doesn't have to be a Samsung product (that pesky Knox) but as long as its a modern android tablet that can handle today's games and can be rooted without voiding warranty would do.
I appreciate your responses in advance.
Hi guys & gals,
I've had my s6 for some time now, been unrooted too... quite enjoyed it and I haven't really missed much.
Recently I've been wanting more from this device and have been thinking about rooting.
One of the main reasons I want to root is to get PdaNET back but I don't know if I can sacrifice Android Pay and other apps like Netflix etc.
Is the work around (Magisk) still working? - to be able to be rooted AND have Android Pay.
