Given that there is no root as of yet for the Verizon Tab S3 (T827) (according to this thread), I'll be wanting to secure this device while I wait for a root to become available.
Can anyone recommend effective non-root security apps? I've always used rooted apps for this purpose.
I've heard a few no root firewall names...NetGuard, NoRoot, LostNet.
So, recommendations for firewalls and any other well regarded no root app to help secure this device?
Any help much appreciated!
PS - anyone know if there is currently a T827 root in the works?
No recommendations?

Guys, remember back in the days of HTC Desire HD, LG G2, where the "visionary method" provided for a temporary root that is active until you reboot? Or perhaps more recently, towelroot? Well I'm not a developer, so please forgive me if the question is naive, bordering on dumb.
I'm wondering if this could be the stop-gap between, saving your precious Galaxy S6 / S6 edge "root" virginity for the sake of the fabled Samsung Pay? Assuming that the temporary root will NOT trip KNOX-counter (I'm not sure I'm using the right term).
Thought it will be interested to find out! I tried searching for a plausible / existing solution but couldn't find something like that. Maybe @Chainfire might have an idea on how this might be achievable.

as of now u can not just temp root u can temp un-root but not visa versa......wish it was still that easy...I have tried that already and it does not work with the tmobile s6 edge
The big problem is that you need to find an android exploit to gain root as towel root did. Towel root did not trigger the knox efuse on the s5. so yes if one day there is an exploit you can gain root without Knox being triggert. (Assuming Knox is working like on the s5). You could even install different Roms via mobile odin. Just no recovery or bootloader.
But without an exploit there is no way to "secretly" gain root.
So in an assist thread, PitPin talked about a vunerability in KitKat that could potentially give root, and in one of his posts he said that he reached userId:0. userId:0 is root privileges , however he hasn't been active in a long time . What I'm asking is that everyone contact him and anyone close to him so that he can post the code and/or app he used so that we can finally work on making some custom roms/recoveries.
just curious what is PitPin ? new root program ?
some other root method that didn't trip knox available on kitkat (for example) kingsroot than you can upgrade using flashfire to lollipop.

PitPin was a developer on the forums that was trying to figure out a way to access root privileges on the A variant of the Alpha. KingRoot wasn't able to root this variant, which is why most people steer clear of AT&T phones because of their restrictive nature
Does anyone know how to gain root access using CVE-2014-4943 I can't use any other rooting apps because my device is not vulnerable to any other rooting softwares
It will be great if anyone give a suggestion
Thank You
Hello there, I have a Android phone - STARK IGNITE V1. It has many issues. So, I want to root this device. But as no one heard the name of this handset. So, I can't find any solution to root this device. I've tried Kingroot and other Android rooting apps but they didn't help. Can anyone tell me how can I root this device?
Hi, I'm new to this community. I have experience jailbreaking my iphone, but I am unfamiliar with how the different rooting applications work across multiple platforms (e.g. are they universal). I was thinking of buying a Sonim XP8 because it has a bunch of interesting features that I haven't seen on mainstream phones. However, I am not willing to buy one unless I am able to root it. Is my dream possible?
I too would like an XP8 with root. Is there anyone who can help with this request per chance?

I did read somewhere (on XDA) that someone rooted the XP7 with kingoRoot, but....that's all I've found.

I tried kingoroot, and it failed. I haven't been able to find any options either. Hopefully, someone has some ideas. I have come to rely on root to block ads. They are beyond horrible.
any update yet? is there any root yet ive tried about every root apps i cant even find working drivers for this phone
Sonim xp8 dual sim issue
When i put 2 sim cảd to the device but only 1 work
I talked to Sonim about getting root access as there is a problem with my Xp3800 flip and I know its just a xml edit. They told me the phone cannot be rooted as its encrypted and has secure boot which makes sense as these are geared towards public safety
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have been reading old posts to get current on the state of the collective effort here. Though I'm looking to contribute overall anyway I can, my current short term goal is to get hotspot working with my current carrier (Mint) with the used XP8 I purchased. The handset was originally an AT&T phone and came with the Android 8 update installed.
At the moment, I'm attempting to get the 10 firmware update hoping that might solve the hotspot issue, but I suspect that it's the carrier specific software baked into the image that's the real cause.
Today I reached out to AT&T and, despite not being a customer, they claimed to have allowed my phone (By IMEI) to get access to the 10 update. We'll see if it actually works as the tech indicated that it would take two hours for the authorization to propagate. If so, I'll attempt to pull off the firmware and share it.
