First, my humble appology for posting either a repeated question, or possibly not in the proper place. I am a novice, and I don't know where to ask the following question. Rooting the VRUEMJ 7 has become such a major controversy, one says you can't root because of a program that showed up on my Galaxy S4 called KNOX, which was on the latest upgrade, and then there are some that are claiming it is possible. I have put all my trust into XDA, who I feel have had thier finger on the pulse for years when coming to rooting, and so is it a myth or fact about rooting the VRUEMJ 7? If it is possible, what are the risks, and where can I find out how? Finally, if rooting at this time is not possible for the VRUEMJ 7, where is the best place to follow, so that when something solid does occur, I can jump on it? Thanks.

Yup this is the T-Mobile forum for the S4 and from your baseband you seem to have the Verizon model.. I suggest you go to their forum as Verizon model of the S4 comes with locked bootloader...

I would appreciate some guidance with my question. I have a G-TAB that is running the Android 2.2 OS. I am aware that there are better OS systems available for the G-TAB with more capabilities, but I have heard that some of them disable FLASH and the CAMERA capabilities? I was wondering if there was a better OS upgrade out there in the development world that would not disable some of the origianl G-TAB features? Also, since I am a novice in this area, is there a service available that will perform this OS upgrade for me for a price? Please advise as I would like to move forward with the suggested upgrade. Many thanks!
There are some good froyo roms such as brilliant corners, mountain laurel, And a couple more that don't lose any functionality. There are plenty of guides to follow to change roms. Just read them carefully and follow the instructions. Don't pay someone to do it.
I'm more than happy to do it but I'm expensive. Considering that it costs 200+ more to buy a unit with Linux on it, I would charge the same for any possible version of Android. The majority of the price is the liability and time. I can fix anything, that's not the problem. The real problem lies in how we're forced to upgrade devices. It's a pretty straight forward process but if anything goes wrong it could take hours of research to figure it out.
If you're willing to pay $200 and ship it to me with a return label, I'm more than happy to help you out. Honestly you could do the same things I'm going to do if you put a little time into the research here on XDA and the other forums out there. If you're too busy or not technically inclined I can understand that. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes as they say...
PM me if you still need someone to help.
I'm not aware of any real service for flashing tablets. But we aware that if you pay someone to flash a new ROM you'll have no knowledge of how to fix it when things go wrong. And things will eventually go wrong. If you want to run anything other than stock, it's absolutely necessary to understand at least the basics of modding android devices. Check out http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ to get started. Good luck.

Obviously not an illiterate one, though.
Does anyone ever read first, then ask questions anymore?
I know that it can get confusing, but really. Before I got my Gtablet back in April, I read just abotu every thread on here, and watched just abotu every youtube video available.
Was I fearful when I flashed my first rom? Absolutely. Did it work flawlessly? Absolutely. Did I read, re-read, watch videos, re-read, read step by step as I was doing it, then read again when I was done to make sure I didn't skip a step...YOU BET YOUR BIPPY I DID.
The reason that I get blunt when I see these questions is because this tablet has been available for almost a year. There is more information available for this device on several forums that there should be no reason to ask questions that have been answered at least 50 times.
If you seriously need a "service" to flash a rom for you, then you REALLY should have bought an iPad, and have been stuck with whatever Apple provides.

You need to do some more reading. You CAN root your device but a lot of people don't trust the rooting method.. Everyone else is using it including me just read more in the threads. The rooting method has been banned on XDA so open up your web browser and look for “root for mj7" and you'll be able to find your answer.

About 5 threads down in this section are instructions to root and ditch vroot for American su. I did it. Working fine. The Chinese haven't taken control of my phone or anything. People are trippin cause 4.3 has extra security features which call it out as a threat.... Well duh, it's gaining root access to your phone of course it's going to be flagged as harmful.

You didn't realize there was a thread on the 1st page named how to root mj7 and install supersu? You didn't think to check there first?

Hello, I was just wondering the best way to root the AT&T Samsung Note SGH-I717. I have looked up many ways but every time I scroll down to the comments I read everyone is having problems. I would just like the best and most proven way to root the phone. I use the phone with straight talk, it is an unlocked att phone, will rooting the phone affect anything with Straight Talk? I am new to rooting so please be detailed and give me links to get everything I need. Thank You so much.

so here is the deal, here are 2 methods with very subtle differences. you didn't say what your phone was running now, so here are my suggestions.......
READ, READ, READ
I know you are new here, and I was once too. I went through all of this and was very nervous about the process. (no real reason to be)
I spent a good 2 weeks reading so I would feel confident about what I was doing. I would read through these and figure which is better for you or which you feel more confident in using. they would both work fine depending on your situation or what you phone is running. because these threads are older, you may run into an issue as to where the download files are not active anymore. that is where a recent Google search could come into play. you say you have read the comments for different methods have had negative results. problem is you don't know whether that person followed the directions correctly or whether they were just in a hurry and missed something.
that's why I posted both these threads. compare to what you have read. I have a habit of going to the back of the threads and read forward. this tells me what the most recent problems may have been and if there is a solution. though the files may or may not be active, you can always get the file. its the PROCESS which is correct. compare them.
as I said........... READ, READ, READ
it puts you in the situation to help yourself first
take your time, do as the process suggests. I even rehearsed it several times. due to my lack of experience, I wanted to be as prepared as possible in case something went wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962
both of these threads are from very reputable members of the community. as all threads will suggest......they are NOT responsible for what you do. make sure you are ready. watch Youtube tutorals, compare processes, have your files loaded and where you have easy access, read and rehearse.
take your time
whatever you need to do to feel confident. if something goes wrong....KNOW what you are going to do next. if you don't know where you went wrong in process or deviated from it, then others cant help.
good luck and I hope I have helped
edit.......
just saw this...this is at the back of Da G 's thread. suggested by AGOATTAMER. he is the man when it comes to having old links to process. this IS the one I used, that I couldn't find.

Thanl You Very Much. I am running 4.1.2 jelllybean.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Free mobile app
Let me start off by saying I come from the world of iPhone. Connect phone to computer, click "Jailbreak" button, wait, phone jailbroken. Number of different "types" of jailbreaks, 1.
I have been looking around, and reading quite a bit. I entered the world of Android with a G4, and eventually learned there are many different version of the G4, and I had one that apparently didn't support rooting. So eventually I just gave up on it. I have recently acquired a Nexus 6P, upgraded it to Oreo, and think i am ready to take the root plunge.
So I read a bit. Got very lost. Read a bit more, and got lost again. From my take there are different "kinds" of roots to achieve different goals? Or am I misunderstanding?
So lets start with what I want to do. I want to run some of the more "advanced" apps that require root privileges to do things. I don't know if that is enough information or not, and if its not, just tell me what you need to know, and I will explain it more if I can. Ideally I want a "one click" option. I have tried Kingroot to no avail, and don't even know if a one click option is available for this device on this OS version, but thought I would ask. And the most important think I need to know, is rooting going to delete everything? I spent a lot of time setting up my phone, and don't really (at this point) want to do it again if I can avoid it.
Please again note, I have done a lot of reading, and research before coming here to ask for help. I am just totally lost. I have come from a totally different (iPhone) world where things are obviously quite a bit different, and just want to be sure I have all the information I need before starting this process so I don't brick the phone.
What do you mean with "more advanced apps"? Did you visit the nexus 6p device forum here on xda developers? Did you ask there for specific help to root?

I didn't know there was a specific forum for the Nexus 6P, I have found it now, and will go and ask my question there.
And by more advanced apps, I am talking about apps that require root.
Scratch that, apparently I can't ask for help where I am suppose to ask for help because I require a higher post count. And because honestly I have nothing meaningful to contribute, as I am not familiar enough with android, I can't get my post count up. So I am kinda stuck.

Read the new user guide in my signature.
I found these threads, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-twrp-3-1-0-1-samsung-galaxy-j3-t3573607, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...uide-painless-root-samsung-j3-emerge-t3573551, and https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-twrp-magisk-boost-mobile-samsung-t3740646. I am so confused. When I jailbroke my iphone years ago it was all so simple. I am just trying to download to my phone a single root-exclusive app I desperately need.
Those posts are from a year and 2 years ago, I heard using outdated software with your device can cause it to brick so I don't know if it's safe to use these software anymore. Plus both of these threads use so many terms and acronyms that fly over my head. I also read SuperSU was so sold to a foreign company so it's not to be trusted anymore? The third link seems a bit more understandable but it mentions something about stock, which I know is an official Android release or whatever, but why is it telling me to return my phone to stock? If I was following the guide, wouldn't I already have a non-rooted phone? So why is telling me how to revert my stock phone back to stock... Unless I'm misunderstanding something which is highly likely.
Can anyone give me a clear, concise guide to how to go about this? Please help, and thank you.
