I decided to be cheap and buy this tab from tiger direct for my brothers b-day. It was supposed to come with ICS, and after searching around figured out how to install Google Play and that it came rooted.
Came in the mail today, took it out of the box... it was upgraded to JB 4.1.1 and was not rooted. I'm just learning the intricacies of the android operating system and am nowhere near being able to root it myself, and I would have no idea where to start. I've searched around for the past couple hours and came up with nothing. Does anyone know anything about this tablet and how to get it so it's rooted and can get a workaround to get google play?

I'm in the same boat as you. It doesn't seem like ANY website has any information on it yet... Maybe the phone is too new? Or, since it's a small, prepaid company (Literally only in about 5 states right now) the phone just isn't out there yet for any devs to play around with it. I'm trying to see if I can find a way to do it on my own, I've rooted a bunch of phones in the past (Mainly only HTC though, this is my first ever Samsung phone) and I'm really only good at following root instructions, not on figuring out how to actually root a device. So I'm with you there, hopefully there will be a way to root the Galaxy Amp someday. I love the phone, but I really want App2SD as the only issue I really have with the phone is the lack of internal app storage.
I've thought about trying other Samsung Galaxy devices rooting methods, but I am just skeptical if it'll brick the phone or not if I try rooting with a method designed for another phone. But then again, the if the phones are similar, I don't see why anything could go wrong, so it might be worth a shot.
Possible work around

I also have the Samsung Galaxy Amp from Aio. It is really similar to the Galaxy SII mini so maybe you could root it using the method used for the mini?

I do agree they are very similar, but I wouldn't wanna brick my device if there's anything different between the devices. Though, the only difference I've really been able to find is the internal storage is lacking compared to the S3 mini, and the VGA front facing camera.. Still, I'll only try it if it won't brick the Galaxy AMP.

Same here as well. I Google for a rooting method for it at least twice a day, and nothing whatsoever. I really want to get it rooted so I can install apps on my SD card (I travel a lot, and use Sygic Navigation as my preferred GPS system, but the maps are flooding my lousy amount of internal storage. It seems to me that the few of us posting in this thread are the only people who have the Samsung Galaxy AMP. AIO does seem to be spreading across the nation now, they just got Service in Texas, and I think California is next, so maybe once it gets out there more, more devs can get their hands on the phone to find a method.
EDIT: Is there a universal way to unlock a bootloader on a Samsung device?? The HTC website will basically unlock any phone's bootloader. I used to have an HTC Rezound, and all I had to do was go to the development section of the HTC website, and unlocked my bootloader directly from the website. Samsung's website has no such thing on it.
Isn't there a way to do it through fastboot? Another phone I had, I literally just went into the comand prompt with Android-sdk, typed "fastboot oem unlock" and unlocked the bootloader that way... Is that possible to do on this Samsung Galaxy Amp?

I'm with you concerning the internal storage. I'm always seeing the insufficient memory notification pop up. It gets frustrating knowing you have a 32gb micro sd just wanting to help!

Right now, for downloaded apps, I have Sygic navigation, Words With Friends, and Ubuntu One Could manager, and my internal memory is full. I honestly don't think there will be a rooting method any time soon, which really sucks. I want root so badly to be able to switch some apps over to my SD card so I can install more than these 3 apps. But, it just doesn't seem this phone is going to get the attention we need.
I just got this phone a couple months back and found this post...was wondering if anyone has found anything?

Hey I tried to root my galaxy amp as if it where a s3 mini but it didn't work. I have been checking the net for any forums but still nothing. Once if I find a way I will make sure to post in the forum.
Possibly a little help coming your way (HAVE NOT TESTED)...
A co-worker of mine got this phone through AIO for his girlfriend. He tried rooting and ended up soft bricking the phone (could still get into Download Mode). He sent the phone into AIO for a replacement BUT we were able to locate the PDA and CSC files for this phone. We HAVE NOT TESTED the 2 files, but i will post them from my MediaFire account. Flash w/ Odin or Heimdell (There are Numerous threads here on XDA if youre unsure how to do it, as it is the SAME procedure on all Galaxy phones). These files SHOULD work as intended, BUT i repeat ARE NOT TESTED.
EDITED: LINKS ARE UP!!
Link for the CSC.MD5 ==> http://www.mediafire.com/download/9...07ATTAMD1_1056913_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Link for the TAR.MD5 ==> http://www.mediafire.com/download/c...407UCAMD1_1056913_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Glorious Success
THANK YOU!! I had soft-bricked my phone and just flashed these files with Odin 3.04 and it works perfectly. You do realize that you're probably the first person to post the MD5's for this phone for free on the internet? Not even Samsung has these files on their website. Truly, development for this phone can finally begin.
Also, even though the CSC is ATT, it works with Aio. Apparently, they use the same towers so it makes no difference.
Thanks, Rob.

I had a spare Galaxy Amp SGH-i407 and this package did not work for me. I was using framaroot 1.9.1.
Since it spare phone I used the K ingo thing, and that did work. I'm going to play around with root for the time and see if I can unlock the phone.
Worked for me too.

I was able to root my amp with the kingoapp software above.
A couple of things before you run off and do it. First do some research on Google on the software. Even though no one has found anything definitive, there may be malware that comes with it. It definitely does send data to a server in China. I work in the IT department of a medium sized business so as extra precaution, I used a laptop that is waiting to be scrubbed and public wifi just to be safe. If you don't have that luxury you need to ask yourself if its worth it. The second thing is that you have to have the Samsung Kies software installed before the software can connect to your phone. Once that was done it took about 5 minutes for the software to find the correct exploit to get root. Anyway best of luck for everyone.
Unfortunately I got mine rooted too late to be a whole lot of value to me. I ended up buying an att branded Motorola Atrix HD off ebay so I could get a phone with 8 GB of internal memory that was easily rootable, with an unlockable bootloader, a useable recovery and a fairly active developer environment. So my amp is now an insurance policy when i mess up flashing a rom and don't want to be without a usable phone for an hour or so.
well if u had to install Samsung Kies then it means your phone driver is missing and i apologies for my inconvinence..
So recently bought the straight Talk ZTE Valet, and have been searching for a root for this device if anyone knows of any or is interested on trying to develop a root exploit. I'm willing to dump any and all files, as well as try any and all rooting methods. If there is already a root im sorry for making a duplicate post.
I'm also looking for a root process that might work on the ZTE Valet now available on Tracfone. Help please!
Any luck?
I am also looking for a root solution for this phone. Either of you had any luck?
I have tried many methods that have worked on other devices, but no luck yet.
I'm also interested, mainly to move more apps, data. The phone does move some apps to a micro SD but not all.

have you guys tried superone click? i have to ask is it gingerbread or what os android version is it?
It is JB 4.1. I haven't tried Superone but will check it out. My root experience has been limited with a Hisense tablet and methods specific to that.

The ZTE Valet Z665 has JB (4.1.1).
So far, I've tried Bin4ry (v32), framaroot (1.6.1), and poot (current version). None worked. In looking at superoneclick, I might not be understanding things very well but it appears to require a CWM image which does not (yet) exist - is that right?
What other methods appear to be worth a try and what have people tried on the ZTE Valet? Anyone aware of a source for the stock ROM? Are there other phones sufficiently similar where the CWM recovery would function on the Valet?
BTW, I just picked up my ZTE Valet at Fred Meyer where it was on sale for $49.99 (Tracfone, no contract). It's a great buy for that price. The sale is over but if interested, keep an eye out for the ads.
Like others, thanks for any ideas.

OK - tried superoneclick and z4root. These in addition to Bin4ry, framaroot, and poot didn't work. I'm a novice at this and am nervous trying some of these options that seem to lack proper pedigree and openness. Also, since I don't have a backup, a more invasive technique also worries me. I'm hoping one of you brave souls will try something out and hopefully give some of us some specifics on what you did to get this phone rooted. It would also be helpful to know what you did actually try (details) that didn't work. Thanks.
Update: Also just tried the adb method which didn't work for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224774[/adb root guide].
Although I took care in trying each of the methods mentioned above and repeated them, I could have screwed up. So ... maybe someone else can report their results just to be sure. I would not re-try z4root but the others don't seem too harmful and my phone still works.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224774

Tried all of the above also z4root really seemed to take a toll on the device a question I was wondering is if we had an almost identical phone would the cwm for that work?

My ZTE turned out to be defective. Screen become unresponsive even after going to recovery, trying to wipe caches/reformatting and even finally attemting to restore to factory state. K-mart wouldn't accept it for an exchange since I bought it out of state. TracFone says they will'll replace it after I ship it to them on their dime. Up until this I liked the phone, except for sound clarity outgoing seemed poorer than mt LG290c from one test from a noisy place.
New phone received and checks out OK enuf to keep. WiFi OK at home but only fair with weak source. Doing this on my Hisense Sero 7 Pro which does better with less than strongest wifi. Screen slightly less crisp at lower brightness than original when it worked. Got 9x more min, text, MB than expected when transferred from old phone so definitely keeping.

Good day everyone, I got a Net 10's LG L16C phone today, at first it was all good since I needed a new phone, but then I discovered this particular phone doesn't have a sim slot, which is bad since I don't like in the states so I can't use their pre-paid services, so I decided to use it for the apps and the like, I have an old galaxy 2 I777 which is still good but using the wifi and apps drain the battery fast, so it's just for calls.
Long story short, I want to install a custom ROM to the LG phone but I haven't had any luck finding any, does anyone know where I can get a ROM for this particular phone? or some way to upgrade at least to android 4.4.4? This phone is 4.4.2 by default. Thank you for your attention and a have a great day
After digging a little more.
I've been researching for the past few days to no avail, there doesn't seem to be a custom or official ROM upgrade for this particular phone, if someone knows something about it I would appreciate the help
(bump)
I don't think you'll find any. I had this phone gave to me so our team could dump the system and add it to our root/frp collection. FRP wouldnt apply to this but the one click root would. Also thought about a simple custom rom. Problem with these LG tracfone variants is you cant get into download mode. At least thats what our team has found out so far messing around with a Rebel now this Lucky. Might be a way but so far weve not totally looked into it. If you do find anything out there please share it with everyone. Im sure a lot of people with this $10 phone would be happy to have the advantages those of us with more higher end units have. I have to sell this phone after IF we get a dump. Wish me luck.
So the only/main reason I want the phone is to be able to root, I been stuck with this galaxy s6 that cant be for over a year.. Every phone I have every had since the eris has been rooted.
I am getting extremely confused with what I am reading.
So the newer lg g3 cant be rooted or downgraded? Any sources for the older lg g3s that can be?
Was looking on ebay but every single phone has k in the model number in description...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I guess one thing that would really help my search is to figure out when the K versions were released.... Anyone know ?
Thanks

I hate to say it, but the model K can only be rooted, from what I've read, by Kingroot. And that's a temporary root. When you reboot, you'll have to root again.
Because there is no way to downgrade to anything prior to Marshmallow (due to a firmware change apparently hence the K model number), you cannot use 10b tot, etc to downgrade.
Also, since this phone is 2 years old, no one is actively looking for an exploit on this. It isn't really worth it unfortunately, but that's how it is with all phones. Eventually, people move on from them because they are old. I will say this, I've been running on stock, unrooted for about a year now and it works just fine. I do run Greenify (I have the donated version), and it definitely also helps with battery life. So, even unrooted stock is pretty good on this phone. I've uninstalled as much of the bloatware (mostly the games) as possible. And for those applications that I cannot uninstall, I've disabled them where possible which can be done in the app manager.
But model K phones do not have the ability to be downgraded. There isn't anyway around this that I know of and believe me, people have tried.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ne-pcb-version-downgrade-marshmellow-t3430985
The details of the phone might just be the auto generated stuff ebay puts on there. I would ask the seller to look at the actual label under the battery. You could try swappa too, i just got a good Note 4 from a seller on there. Ebay is hard to dig through and find something good, lots of refurbished phones being sold as "new".
Thanks peeps learned some info I did not know.
I guess I am looking for root and recovery.(Mostly development stuff/being able to install roms) I am staying far away from the K version.
I been messaging people on ebay for the past 2 days.. 40 messages 5 replies :/
Ended up finding 2 without the k
