[Q] hkc p771a and 4.0.4 rooting - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, been reading about this on the dev side, and apparently, since I don't have 10 posts, I can't ask about any kind of update.
I know that with 4.0.3, one could root the HKC p771a. With 4.0.4, HKC did something to prevent it. I tried the methods described there, and a couple of other things, to no avail. I was wanting to find out if anyone else had any kind of luck getting into these little tablets.
Honestly, it's not that there is much bad on them, you can access most stuff... it's just the bloatware removal that I am after. Having a 1gb machine that is "clean" with less than 500mb available is more than a little annoying, since 200mb of it is stuff that I will never use.
Thanks in advance, and mods, if there was some other place more appropriate, please, feel free to move it around, but let me know so I can track it. Thanks!

[Q] Alcatel OT X-pop 5035x

Hello everyone
I own a Xpop 5035x which is awesome as a device.
My only conceirns are the following.
In my country (Romania) the device was released with a android 4.1 but so far no chance of upgrade to something better...
Q: Does anyone know if there is a future upgrade announced?
Some games just exit eventhough when i start the app i have 180+ mb free ram (used all possible tricks to get lots of free ram from 80 now im at 180+ sometimes even 220)
Q: Is it normal?
Q: Is it possible for more free ram since my base ram is 512?
I wanted to root my phone but didn't find a proper way to do it
Q: Is there a safe and perfect way of doing it without risking to brick my phone?
I saw that for a large variety of phones there are custom roms..
Q: Are there custom roms for my device?
I am a newbie and don't want to inconvenience anyone with my questions but if someone has the time to take a look at this thread, I would very much appreciate it.
In advance I say sorry if I posted this thread in the wrong place.
Thanks guys
My answer is:Kingo ROOT
I've found an awesome ROOT program for Windows. It's called Kingo ROOT and it's very simple to root your phone with it. You just have to download the program, install it and run it. There is a button "ROOT", you have to click it and it's processing for a while, your phone may reboot several times during that time. When it finishes the rooting process you should have in the app drawer an app called SuperSU

Newb trying to root Verizon Tablet Z2 (SGP561) from 5.0.2.

Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.

Hello! A little help?!

Hey guys!
I recently found this forum through the YouTube channel xdadevelopers and especially because I have a question.
I tried to find more details about my phone, an Allview X3 soul lite, and I wanted to know if it is worth to root my device. Honestly, I want to root it for a couple of games or more. I know I will lose my warranty (it is over anyway) and the risks of "bricking" it.
I would like some opinions and if someone with a similar device already did it, what is the safest way to root my device (if possible, of course).
I am new to this and any suggestion or information to make me wiser is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Help for Samsung Galaxy S7, Model SM-G930F, Version 6

Hello guys! New user here. Nice to meet you all.
Now, for the real deal, I need help with something. I'm trying to find a way to root my phone, but I'm kind of lost. I tried already once, but ended up screwing the software, and lost quite a bit of money repairing it. Someone suggested me to come here to ask about that problem, and if it's really possible to root my specific phone.
Keep in mind, however, that due to personal reasons, I want to root specifically with Magisk and Magisk Manager.
Please, any help would be appreciated. I really need my phone rooted, but I'm kind of clueless how to do it correctly.
P.S.: since I can't really post outside links here, if there's any info needed to help me solve my issue, let me know. I'll send you any screenshots available
