no, you'll need a custom recovery to flash the zip

You would likely need to give it a day or 2. The tablet just made it to the market and Android 5.0 changes A LOT of things. I assume ChainFire is already working on it.
I am also hearing that 5.0 may require a custom kernel to have full root permissions. If this is the case, we may need to hold off until the Kernel Sources are released.

But I still want root whether it is needed or not.....why, because it is one of the reasons I buy a nexus.

Unfortunately, you still need root to mount a USB-OTG drive. The non-root OTG apps have various quirks. Right now I can't even get videos to play in media player apps directly off a flash drive. I imagine people will eventually find a work-around to that, but you still won't be able to mount them in a way that would work with apps like Mizuu without rooot.

Touchscreen problem

Ok I was trying to root my 3.6 US version, when i accidentally flashed the rom for the 4.2. I fixed it, and flashed the regular 3.6 US rooted rom from attn1. After that, when i turned it on, the screen would not work!!!! I have tried flashing diff. kernels but the stock kernel isn't able to flash, either that or I'm doing it wrong. Can someone give me the kernel if you have it, and instructions on how to flash it? I NEED my mp3 to work again D:

Ok, so your kernel just fails to flash? Or after flashing it the touch screen just still doesnt work?
It will flash. But the screen won't work
I cant promise that this is a solution, but have a look at this thread.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080006
This could at least maybe help us figure out what is going on. Since the SGP 3.6 doesnt have many(if any at all) custom roms, it could be a difficult fix.
How would that work with GP3.6??
Ok, I devised a plan that might work! If not, well it was worth the try.
I applied the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068819
1. Flash your SGP 3.6 stock ROM
2. Flash just the stock kernel only
3. Flash the wrong ROM again
4. Now, flash the stock ROM again
5. Reboot your device. If it doesnt boot just let it go for about five minutes without shutting it off or anything. Then hold in the power button until it shuts off, and flash the stock ROM again.
6. Reboot, and if it boots the touch screen should work.
thanks so much. <3

Have you tried doing a factory reset from the stock recovery?
If so then your best bet would be to bring it into a MetroPCS since your PC won't recognize the phone. They can flash the stock system back onto the phone.
Any time your going to root your phone the first thing you should do is anable USB debugging in developer options and make sure the drivers are installed for that phone on your PC just in case this happens.

How are you guys able to flash this recovery with a locked bootloader? Does this mean that the bootloader doesn't have t be unlocked for this to work? I remember reading from the Fierce XL thread in the early days we had issues with flashing partitions.

I was skeptical as well. But I guess all you have to do is flash the recovery image. I checked my backup location and the backup file is present. I also sucessfully flashed A.R.I.S.E and Atmos. But the question of CM came up in another forum and I'm wondering if now it may be possible to compile.

Alright, enjoy your recovery. I've yet to see TWRP 3.0 on this device. I wonder why. I built 3.x but it didn't boot, ported this one and it booted.
This is great! I had just about given up all hope for any progress on the Fierce XL and this comes along. Would be great to see a 3.0.X version but this is a start.
@kirito9, if I recall from the other thread everyone was kind of afraid to try the port cause at the time we didn't have factory images available in case things went south.

That's great . I have a device tree I think we can use as a base for getting CM12/13 on this device.
I'm not 100% certain but we may not have to unlock the bootloader for this device at all. Well at least fastboot works without unlocking BL s that's a start.
Do you have anyone else in mind to get something going for this device? My gmail is [email protected]

[Request] Root For SM-G530P

So ive been looking for a updated root for the sm-g530p. I cant seem to find anything other than a root that has a really old kernel.
If anyone knows anything comment below, thanks
I don't know if this helps or if your issue has been solved already, but I have a kernel called TrapKernel. Just look it up, download it on your computer, then flash through Odin. It is the best I know of. Also, if your issue is battery life, download "Root Booster" and buy the premium version of Battery Boost. It is well worth the cost

****RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF LIKE WE ALL HAD TO**** UNTIL YOU KNOW HOW TO INSTALL AND USE ADB ON YOUR PC AND KNOW BASIC ADB COMMANDS, ESPECIALLY REBOOT COMMANDS, DO NOT TRY ROOTING AT ALL.
After rooting, research TWRP and install it for your device- it is available on the twrp website and linked on other forums in XDA. THEN read about how to make NANDROID backups in TWRP. Also buy the pro versions of titanium backup pro, root booster (in-app purchases for getti g the full version),and es file explorer pro from the Play Store. Trust me, you will thank me later a lot. And even without root Nova Launcher Prime is the bomb (so is es file explorer pro)
I have a lot on my mind and schedule rn and don't have time to teach people (no offense)
You don't even need to ask unless you have a technical issue on XDA threads anyway as there are TONS of forums explaining everything step by step for android and rooting. Just make sure to never use anything from XDA unless it's labeled for your exact device model, even if it's only like one letter off (such as SM-G530H). ONLY SM-G530P OR YOU WILL REGRET IT; I'M SPEAKING OUT OF EXPERIENCE

Also buy the pro versions of titanium backup pro, root booster (in-app purchases for getti g the full version),and es file explorer pro from the Play Store. Trust me, you will thank me later a lot. And even without root Nova Launcher Prime is the bomb (so is es file explorer pro)
I have a lot on my mind and schedule rn and don't have time to teach people (no offense)
You don't even need to ask unless you have a technical issue on XDA threads anyway as there are TONS of forums explaining everything step by step for android and rooting. Just make sure to never use anything from XDA unless it's labeled for your exact device model, even if it's only like one letter off (such as SM-G530H). ONLY SM-G530P OR YOU WILL REGRET IT; I'M SPEAKING OUT OF EXPERIENCE

It's a phone for poor schmucks like me, so no one care much
Sad
Im sad this phone is nice and all but.. A custom rom would speed it up so much kinda need root access to begin. I can port a rom myself but the actual process of a root i know and love has failed me. Would love an outside opinion... Maybe someone will respond?

Damn, they are quite sensitive. At least they now know it exists. It seems we will have to wait for a month or two before it is ready.
I noticed oh well.. i'll keep actively trying anyway
Can someone help? I've tried everything. I've exhausted my level of skill...
I got mine today in Canada at koodo and it is lg-m151

I found what appears to be a stock rom, but as a new member I can't link it.
It shows up as the first google result when I search "lg firmware list m151", hopefully that's enough for you to find it?
I found the firmware all ready thank you

unfortunately it doesn't work for some reason on my device
what do you mean by twrp cancelled?
im not making twrp because I can't reboot the phone into bootloader/fastboot if you find a way then I will make root and twrp

i can't get fastboot to detect it for some reason, but "adb reboot recovery" gets it to the bootloader
That's TWRP to be ready in one month thank you:laugh:
