I don't know if there is anyone who can help, I've never had this much trouble rooting one of my android devices. I don't know if it's because of the Droidboot Provision OS or I'm doing something wrong. But I've tried everything from one tap apps to using BAT files and Kingo Root. But nothing has worked. My asus memo pad 7 LTE is running android 4.4.4 and is proving difficult to root.

I've finally updated my Note 3 to Lolipop (Woops, borked my install. Updated to 5.0. Crap... can't root? Okay... downgrade to 4.4.2... safestrap... flash... success!!!).
Now that I've got Note 3 Android 5.0 Lolipop installed... I'm trying to clear up some of the "clutter". I've been using some other lists as guides for what not to disable and I haven't had many issues (Disabled something needed for USB Folder Sharing... and I think I'm missing some font pack now, but otherwise good).
But the issue is that none of the lists I've found have been directly for "Note 3, Samsung, Android 5.0"... they have been for S5, S6, Note 4, Android 4.4.2, etc.
My question is: Is there a list that I'm not seeing that has "Safe to Freeze/uninstall" / "Caution, be careful" / "Remove at your own peril" for Samsung Note 3 on Android 5.0?
I upgraded to ota 5.0 on my n900a from 4.2.2 worst mistake of my life. Hate lollipop and can't root. Is there a step by step how to install 4.2.2 with Odin?
No safestrap, just want root.

What was the file you deleted for the usb folder sharing do you know?
I must've deleted it too because my phone won't register on my computer to transfer files.
All my drivers are up to date and it works on other roms.
Hello,
I am newer to the Android world. I recently made the switch from Apple / iPhone / ios. I traded in my iPhone 6 @sprint for a Nexus 6 and sold my Apple TV and got a Nexus Player. I have no regrets and have not looked back since! I am currently running my Nexus 6 / Nexus Player bone stock on Marshmallow 6.0 (MRA58K).
I am looking for a smooth method to lock and unlock the bootloader on my Nexus 6 without it wiping my phone every time. Also, what is the best root method for a Nexus 6 on Android 6.0?
Thank you in advance!

when you unlock your bootloader, itll wipe your whole phone, nothing that you can do about that. and the root method.. its the only true method, and best. it involves unlocking the bootloader, then fastboot flashing twrp recovery, then flashing SuperSU via twrp recovery. and that it. then you boot up with root. every nexus is done this way. takes about 3-5 minutes.
I see. Is the method for the Nexus Player the same?

i dont have one, but it should be exactly the same. every nexus device is rooted the same way. but, just so you know, on marshmallow, you will also need to flash a custom kernel in order to get root. so youll need to flash a custom kernel then supersu in twrp recovery to get root on marshmellow.
I mainly went for the Nexus 6 for the display size and stock Android experience. I know Nexus devices are the "king of root" but I think I'm just going to leave mine be. Just run stock 6.0 with the bootloader locked and unrooted. I really want to utilize Android pay anyways.
Any mod can delete this thread. Thanks

Why do you think threads need to be deleted? Surely it's better they remain so.others with the same question may find an answer.

well, i have one suggestion, you should at least unlock your bootloader. in android now, you need to enable unlocking in a setting. if, for some reason, you get caught in a bootloop, and dont have your bootloader unlocked, you wont be able to unlock it to reflash a factory image. it will just become a doorstop.
Hello and Thank you for viewing my post!
I am New to Android Devices and the "Rooting" Process. I am a regular Apple user and use a Jailbroken iPhone and Use a Mac as well but have Windows Mirroring Capabilities on my Mac.
I just bought the Kindle Fire HD 8 (6th Generation) (2016) and it came with os 5.1.1 installed but once i connected to wifi it automatically updated me to 5.3.1.1.
I do not like the OS it includes as there are too many annoyances present (Ads, Unwanted OEM Applications, Etc.) and would like to Root my device and Run a "Real" Android OS and in other words, convert my Kindle Fire HD 8 into a Android Tablet as many do but i am unable to root because i am on 5.3.1.1.
If someone could please help walk me through the steps i need to take to root and all the tools ill need to do so, as well as ways to avoid bricking the device in the process.
Thank you in advance!

You can flash an older stock version with fastboot. You may need a fastboot cable to do it though.

Downgrading bootloader on some devices can brick them, it depends on the software though, not the device. Some devices with locked bootloader that can't be downgraded can sometimes extract the bootloader from the newer locked firmware and replace it in the older firmware, this allows the older firmware to be flashed without downgrading the bootloader because it has been modified so that it has the same bootloader. Not all locked devices can do this though, and even the ones that can still can't flash anything custom because of the bootloader, it does allow for downgrading to use things that won't work in the newer firmware. Whether or not that can be done on this or that device is hit or miss though, some can and some can't, it just requires research and trial and error.

My Kindle Fire HD 8 (2016) allows me to unlock the Boot loader (OEM Unlock) from the settings menu, Im no sure if this is a good thing? (Easy way to downgrade boot loader alongside OS?) or not but not exactly sure. Would you recommend any tactics with this in mind or to just wait for kingroot or someone to crack 5.3.1.1. and create a Root?
Thank you!

hello all!!
i am new to the forums, but i have been looking around for a while to figure out how to root and rom my Amazon Fire 7 (5th generation; KFFOWI). i havent used it in a while and i just loaded it up and now it has an update to Fire OS 5.6.2.0. is there any root for this device? and if so, has anyone found a way to custom recovery the device or unlock the bootloader? if there is no way, i am quite interested in the method used on LG's devices on if that would work to get a custom recovery on here. we all know about how most of LG's devices has a locked bootloader and the only way to get the custom recovery on specific LG devices was with a Bumped version of TWRP. if there is any way to test and work on it for the Fire 5th generation the same way it has been done on an LG G3, it might work out in the long run for this device. yes, root may have to be achieved still. but if someone can work on a ROM dump and try to find a loophole or a backdoor the hard way, we might be able to achieve root. i personally haven't learned android SDK let alone android kitchen, but i have a lot of experience in rooting and romming devices. my device is basically useless to me as i have a macbook and another android mobile device (LG Stylo 4 *still trying to find root for that device as well*), so if anybody tries these methods and can at least bring this device back to speed, we might be able to get more development for this device and probably can get Nougat or even Oreo on this device. you'll never know unless we try to put forth the effort to getting this device resurrected and rid of this FireOS plague!
Thanks!

See here.
I seemed to have managed to root my device but now I get no further. Hardware is locked. Can anyone advise of links to progressing? Running or 5.6.4.0 and Windows 10. Tried driver updates and failed. Screen shot is message I get from more than one source of instruction.

This is the wrong forum for that device. The newest fire device (as far as I know) that can be rooted and rommed is the 7" fire 5th gen, which is still only limitted to Android 5.1.1 based roms since the bootloader still technically isn't unlocked. Sorry.
hm it think its wrong place
