I just bought toshiba at10 and I want to root it just for the apps that require root. I know it will not support custom ROM's because of it's locked bootloader. Please someone help me ...

Same for me. I would like to root it but I'm not able to do it myself.
Any developper interested in this work ?
Actually if we are a few of us wanted to root this Toshiba, maybe we could give a gift to the one who can make it ? Don't you think ?
In France, Geant Casino has a good price for it : 215 euros. With the 70 euros cashback from Toshiba for this excite pure AT10-A-104. You have a 10" tablet for 145 euros.
This offer lasts until the 28/02/2014.
Unfortunately Toshiba is not the "unlock boot" for your customers type and anyone who rooted softbricked them and lost their warranty. I got the next day and switch it with the LG G Pad 8.3 which has a way to root it as long as you have access to Linux PC/Laptop. It's not easy but if you soft brick it you can recover it since it has support here in xda. Also the Tegra 3 is a bit outdated, the LG scored 3-4.000 more points more in Quadrant Benchmark and in Antutu was 2 positions behind LG G2 and topped HTC One X, with the custom Rom in Quadrant. I'm so sorry for Toshiba because after that I won't buy another one if the root is not possible and won't unlock the bootloader like Samsung and Motorola finally did.
Official answer on my question about unlocking bootloader or official update to 4.4
At this time there are no plans or announcements on an update for this tablet to Android 4.4, however we would keep an eye on the Toshiba Service Station option in the settings menu for any possible updates.
The bootloader on this unit is intentionally locked and cannot be unlocked by an end user; this is something that will not be changed in the future.

No sorry
still no custom recovery for the Kestrel .?

i've managed to install it, but couldn't make a backup. someone claims that huawei have told him the Huawei U9508 is compatible with kestrel, so he used the recovery in which is chiness from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039998
this is what huawei wrote to him
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Sorry that there have no bootloader unlock code for U9508 items.
By default , you can do fastboot downloading for some images directly without Unlocking bootloader..
We suggest you'd better not root your device which would avoid the warranty and maybe cause it freeze.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Best Regards.

I think the only way to correct cwm, is to do it ourselves with the sources. But I block the construction

Vf Smart Ultra 6 Root
Hi,
Can anyone help me root my smart ultra 6?
ive tried kingroot etc with no support from any of them.
im on 5.0.2 stock
thanks[/QUOTE]
I too have had considerable difficulty Rooting my Vf Smart Ultra 6.
I cannot use a computer to do it as my computer is running on Linux Mint which I adore except for the fact that it doesn't cover all bases and no-one has yet written a Smart Phone Utilities Software for this platform.
Having said that however I shall try to describe my success with this phone.
I have managed to root this phone successfully using Kingroot on 3 different occasions here's how.
Assuming you have had enough instruction to enable developer options (settings/About/press 'Build Number' seven times) and usb debugging (usb debugging doesn't really help me because I can't use my comp for reasons described above), but I enabled that functionality anyway.
Kingroot failed me at least 18 times before cracking it, so just keep trying. I read somewhere that if Kingroot locks you out altogether without giving you the option to retry, do this: uninstall Kingroot, reboot, reinstall. The first time I did this (after multiple fails) I hooked into root immediately. Be careful to not reboot out of this until you have finished the tasks at hand, as this will unRoot you.
Through persistence with the difficult bootloader on this phone and Kingroot, you will get there.
Hope this helps

Hello everyone,Namaste.Regards from India!
Last September,I bought a new phone called the Kult Beyond and it was a good phone for the Price.It's a little under $100 and myself being a student,couldn't really spend too much over that.Previously,I had an iPhone 3GS which I rescued from a recycling Center for $30 bucks,4 years ago.iOS 6.1.6 Jailbroken and was a lot of fun.But soon enough,I found it to be lacking in many aspects.So I bought this new phone,My first Android phone and I was OK with it for a while,But soon enough,I realized that it's very average and software optimization is kind of missing.3GB RAM and at idle,Only 900MB is free.Then I found it's all that System Bloatware which cannot be removed.I then learned that with ROOT,We can remove them! Also learned that Root can allow to mess with CPU/GPU Voltage and Clock settings which can help with battery life as well!
But I ran into another problem - Media*******Tek.I tried MONTHS of rooting the phone using various methods right from KingRoot.etc and NONE worked.I read that the newer MTK-equipped phones are very hard,near-impossible to root compared to Snapdragon due to many reasons such as the Mass fragmentation of MTK-Based devices.etc
Here is the specsheet of my phone
Device I.D - 33DE8604CFF9E987
Serial Number - K1950A1X77150008
Kernel Version - 3.18.35
MediaTek MT6737 Quad Core 1.25Ghz CPU
3GB RAM,32GB ROM
13MP Front and 13MP Rear Camera with Dual LED Flash
3000MaH Battery
Android 7.0 Nougat
Can anyone here please help me root my device so that I can atleast try to fix the sluggish performance at times due to some unwanted System Bloatware using the Memory and CPU Excessively ? Thanks a lot!

Make sure you have unlocked bootloader before following the steps given in the above thread.
Since you have Mediatek device, you should use the custom boot img method given in the thread.

Hi,
i bought a LG Stylus 2 K520 because of the DAB+ chip inside. I want to use it with android auto. There are no apps at the moment that are supported with DAB+ inside android auto.
Because of this i need AAMirror. In order to use AAMirror i need a rooted phone.
As i checked the ability for this phone to get rooted i was a little bit disappointed.
At the moment i tried all one click rooting programs (Kingoroot, Puuh etc.). I also tried the apps for windows IRoot, LG One Click Root e.g.. I also flashed the oldest firmware that was available.
I read all posts regarding the K520. But at the end nobody got it work.
So far i don't know if there is an option to get the phone rooted ? Please help me.
Best Regards
