Hello All,
I've had this device for a year and a half now and I still have yet to find a reasonable and reliable FREE way to root or get another rom on here. My bootloader is still locked and I'm on latest system update. Has there been any recent success with unlocking bootloader? There isn't a free way to do this? This tablet would be awesome if I could just get stock Android on here...I hate emui! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi guys!
Now that is possible to root our beloved Xperia Z3 with locked BL I have some questions before start messing with mine here.
If I root with @zxz0O0´s method I can no longer use OTA to get Lollipop right?
But, that´s ok because I can always get back here a couple days after Lollipop gets released and get if from XDA right?
And that way I can get it also rooted?
I thank you for your time and have a great day :victory:
Yes for both questions
Thanks man!
Already rooted my Z3 and I'm just waiting for Lollipop here
Me too
Lol
You can still get ota if you are rooted. You can also use pccompanion. But it will probably lose the root.
The only issue with ota is with an unlocked bootloader, and then it is only advisable not to do an ota update. Also with an unlocked boot you cannot use pccompanion
So I bought my shield tablet way back when they first came out. I rooted it on Kit Kat without unlocking the bootloader, then upgraded to Android 5.0, keeping root and keeping my bootloader locked.
I got super busy with school and I totally stopped keeping up to date with Android stuff. Long story short, I'm getting back into it and just found out about this recall. I have a ton of experience rooting Android tablets and phones, I've just been out of the game for about a year.
Does anyone know how I can update to the latest OTA, and keep root? I'm not against unlocking my bootloader if I need to. Also is it still possible to keep them from killing the old tablet when I get the new one? I have been reading around and I'm still confused wether or not it is still possible.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi.
I know that my device is bootloader locked (Was on O2) and I would like to root it. However I would like to keep Android 7.11. Is there a temporary root for it? I know there was for Android 5 and 6.
Also someone else on the forum managed to get their bootloader unlock to yes. If there is a paid for utility that does that I would pay for it.
Many Thanks,

Hey guys,
I'm not the most experienced when it comes to rooting, but I really want to root my S10e. I previously came from a OnePlus 3 and miss being able to root my phone and do whatever I want with it. I was wondering if it was possible to flash the SM-G9700 firmware on SM-G970w thus being able to unlock my bootloader and in theory, be able to root? Has anyone tried this? I'm sure its not that simple. Please educate me.
Thank you!
Hi folks. I'm researching a way to root my verizon sm-j337v. So far i've had no luck in finding a way. I've noticed that there is no option for oem unlock in dev options. I'm fairly new to this and have never rooted a phone before. I had an lg phoenix 4 that i was able to install twrp recovery and magisk on. I ended up losing the lg before i could root it though. Anyways i love the challenge of trying to root one so if you guys could possible help me out with this samsung i'd highly appreciate it. Also if you need more info on the phones software etc just lemme know. Thanks
