Edit: it's totally rotted >_< Can't edit title.
Cheers all.
I'm getting my device in a few, and decided to start looking at options for rooting. I understand that the process will depend on what version the device is running when I get it, and that keeping stock ROM is essential for a few purposes (Remote Play being one) - but otherwise rooting isn't problematic it seems. However, Kingroot isn't available on OS X, so I'm wondering if any fellow OS X users have rooted their XZ3TC natively? Or did you use the Android version of Kingroot?
Alternatively, I'll have to run Parallels or partition my hard disk to get into Windows - would rather avoid that if possible.
when I got mine a little over a week ago, it was on the release version 4.4.4 so I rooted with kingroot on the device.
flashing roms and unlocking bootloader was all done on my macbook air. works pretty good with flashtool.

Perfect! Now that I know it's possible I will begin looking for the tools right away. Thank you.

Used SuperOneClick which says it has worked however none of the Root checkers say it is and the Super user apps can't update their binaries, anyone know how to properly root these tablets?
I too have purchased this tablet from ALDI, I am very happy with it. Would love to be able to root it... you know what I mean

I have successfully rooted it following the instructions from http://whrl.pl/RdvMXo
However I had to do some things a little different, (after reading the guide you'll understand my next bit)
after I clicked the restore data and it doing the restore it's meant to reboot the tablet although mine didn't so after trying this several times I rebooted it manually to which it actually worked.
My only anger towards this tablet is that it was advertised as 1.2GHz CPU when in fact it's 1GHz.
Champion! Worked for me, Only took 10min.
Now that the device is rooted, what would you suggest next?
Im not well versed on the apps, roms or other things to run on a tablet. So any ideas would be great.
My phone is rooted with Clockwork Mod and a custom rom, is this possible with the tablet?
And once again, thanks for the help

See now I haven't done anything ROM wise with my tablet as of yet because there are no ROMs that I can find for our little chinese made no name brand tablet, I'll be keeping my ears and eyes open for any ROMs I can find or ones that people have tested, I'm just not keen to test one of them myself and brick my tablet.
Hi, I need someone's help in testing a new version of my Online Nandroid script. It has built-in support for MTK based devices such as yours. If anyone would like to try the beta, please send me a PM.
Alright dunno if everyones heard already or not but Kingroot ver 4.0.1+ can root Samsung Verizon S4's running Lollipop. Thats right, Model ICH-I545 Build LRX22C.I545VRUGOC1 Android ver 5.0.1 is rootable with Kingroot 4.0.1+, The actual version of kingroot I dLd was 4.0.703 I believe but when you use it it automatically updated I believe to a 4.5.? version?
Anyway the Super-Sume app from GooglePlay store can replace & erase the Kingroot & associated apps, just takes awhile & seems like it doesn't work at first gotta pay attention because it askes for Super user access & there's a timer but I got it down.
So now I have a rooted Verizon s4 on lollipop, messin around with Torbot & the ES apps which are cooler with root & I was wondering if theres gonna be an easy way to get Cyanogen on my phone now..
I've never installed a custom rom before but this is the 3rd device I've rooted.
From what I understand the installation of Cyanogen is very device & software specific and everyone kinda gave up on the verizon s4's cause no root before.
Sooo I guess my question is does anyone know how to install a cyanogen rom on a rooted Verizon s4 running Lollipop?
I believe the issue is that the bootloader is still locked, even though the phone is rooted. So until Verizon/Samsung unlocks the bootloader, or some awesome dev can figure out a work around, there is no way that I know of to install CM or other custom roms.
If anyone knows better, please correct me.

Ah see this is why I ask, the only stupid question is the one ya don't ask!
So the bootloader ia a whole nuther can of beans..
Man that sux..
Well at least I can do transparent proxying & delete bloat ware now!
Kinda chicken about diving into the roms anyway.. I'll try it on my Kindle fire hd 8.9 first that looks way easier & the path is established.
After extensive searching, it's apparent that there is no method to root the LG Escape 3 (LG-K373). It seems KingRoot will provide temp root, but only to cause problems and random reboots. My understanding is that KingRoot will not work effectively with a locked bootloader on Marshmallow.
MY QUESTION: Is is possible to downgrade Android to Lollipop in order to achieve root on this device.
There doesn't appear to be any real community/interest in obtaining root on this device, although with it's recent release as a promotional device on Cricket I would assume more users will be showing up.
Is it simply Android 6 w/ the locked bootloader that is keeping the device from being able to achieve root?
If so, I would greatly appreciate a point in the right direction. Also, if there are any threads I'm missing in regard to this device?
THANK YOU and would REALLY appreciate any help with this device.
does ur device has official lollipop? If yes .
Flash it

It came w/ Marshmallow 6.0 I haven't even begun to track down the required Lollipop files until I was at least partly sure it would work. I'm new to LG, although I've downgraded with Samsung and Motorola in the past without much issue. I guess the first thing is to figure all of the flash files I'll need.
The real question is assuming I can get it backed down to Lollipop with Rooting be possible?
THANKS!!!!

No man i think u cant achieve root on this device. If u try to root ur device will brick. Since ur device came with Android 6 u cant downgrade to lollipop.
So u cant downgrade and root ur device.

Thank you for the reply. I am just shocked that every step of the way is failure. What is the most surprising to me is that nearly all other LG devices can get root seemingly without much trouble. Even the flagship phones like the G6 (and even the ability to unlock the bootloader).
If I could just ask an opinion of those out there..... Does anyone think this is something that will happen in the future? (Root), or is there just not enough interest in the device to have a community putting any effort into it???
I've always had higher end phones of which I managed to break and decided to try one of these lower end phones. It just seems like there isn't enough of a community working on them... I would just like to think someone (smarter than me) will find a way to get root??
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I thought maybe there were some flash files that would allow me to downgrade. I've been a bit out of the loop for a bit, so having some trouble catching up....I appreciate your help.
Greetings everyone
I have this awesome tablet for my young son who loves to watch YouTube kids
The current FW which is an OFW will not permit the DL of YouTube kids I think due to compatibility issues etc.
I ask anyone to advise on how to load a CFW or something to allow me to run YTK and other items. Obviously I would need android 5 or higher.
Where could I find step by step instructions to do this? I am not sure of the detailed ways so I am needing patience from you.
I would appreciate all the help, so will my son
Thank you

Try the 7.1.2 Nougat Rom
I prefer Nougat without gapps and overclock the CPU to 1400 MHz.

Good luck
I have the 10.1 GT-P 7510 I had XDA root it for me through their 1 click root system because I didn't want to take the chance on messing anything up because you read so much online about people bricking devices trying to root them. I also have kind of the same question, I have an old version of Netflix on mine that runs perfect but would like to go to a newer version, and I would also like to install kodi or xbmc on this tablet so I can take it with me on trips and be able to watch movies. after extensive searching I was able to find out that supposedly kodi 14.2 helix will work on this tablet, but trying to find it is essentially impossible, and when you do find the file it always seems to be broken in some way and wont work, supposedly there is a program called SBMC which is a fork of kodi for this device, but can't find that one anywhere. so my question is this because I am so new to this rooting thing. My tablet is already rooted with Super SU and I would like to know where I could look to get instructions how to install the nougat 7.1 rom or even a different rom to be able to go to some newer apps at this point I have been a little timid about doing too much because at least Netflix is working, and the xda tech told me not to factory reset it update it and a few other things, and a few other things because then it won't be rooted. any help in this will be very much appreciated and please feel free to move this post if it is in the wrong area and I apologize it is my first time posting. I will say this though it was well worth the 40.00 to have xda root it for me because it can be a bigger process than people think depending on the device the guys are awesome.

I also have a 10.1 GT-P 7510(wifi) 32g. The P7500 and the P7510 are basically the same and use the same firmware. I've had mine rooted for a long time. I use Kingoroot because it's easily replaced with Supersu. As far as ROMs go I've had only difficulties. What I can tell you is that for myself this has been a little difficult up til possibly just recently. There are many ROMs available here at XDA, most of them were unstable. The 7.1 Nougat, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-7-0-nougat-t3471350, looks promising but I haven't got CWM recovery to flash the zip without giving me a "No File_Contexts warning. If I could get a tar.md5 ROM I would use Odin3 in a heartbeat. Version 1.85 is the one I use most and thats just to undo the softbricks, by flashing in the original firmware. If you live in the US its this, https://www.androidlegend.com/update-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wi-fi-p7510-with-ics-4-0-4-uelpl/. Run that through Odin if you ever get stuck in bootloop crash the tab, pretty much anything but a hardbrick. The 8.0 Rom I'm waiting for the developers to complete.
I have an HDX 7 Thor that I haven't touched in a long time. I lost it while traveling and just found it! It's outdated, currently running a late 2016 build of 4.4.4 cm11. I want to get it up to date but not sure how to start, should I go back to stock and then follow a guide to get it bootloader unlocked or is there a way to get it all from here? I know about the 1 click tool, but will that work from where I am now?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help. I know that this is an older device but I just want it to read manga and watch YouTube so it will be perfect if I can get it up to date.

No need to roll back or uninstall. 1-click or this method will work fine. Fair bit of effort getting to the point being able to install a newer ROM (most likely Lineage 14.1). I would go with 1-click assuming prerequisites are satisfied. Good luck.
