Long story short.
I picked up this cheap tablet because i want to install it in my car permanently. If it gets stolen it's easily replaceable. It is a SM-T227U
Upon buying it I've found out a couple things. I can't root it? And
I cant use android auto on it.
I've heen digging through these forums but the threads are kinda confusing. Would anyone have time to walk me through a root process and show me how to obtain whatever os I need to accomplish what I'm trying to do? My biggest concern right now is getting android auto to connect wirelessly to my Kenwood.
I side loaded the apk but, my device still won't connect for audio. Only calls. Which I don't have lol

Now I have flashed around 10 times. I have rooted the phone same amount and am on the same level as I was with Iphone. But let me tell you buddy Android is never ending there is NO LIMIT its nuts. Root is like the Mother jailbreak . Flash means Installing ssomething new. Usually flashing a rom which means installing a new operating system or UI.
But yeh late nights got me knowing alot so good luck

Trust me! Spend 10 minutes on above thread and you will be brought up to speed with your S3 rooted!
Thank you very much guys. I'm definitely a good reader and I bet this would be as easy as it gets for me. I've flashed hundreds of devices like routers, cable modems, etc. so no problem on that as rooting would be just using usb interface AFAIK
Android is already jailbroken basically. Root is Super Jailbreak. Custom Roms are mainly used for theming, performance, etc.

Steps:
Download Odin 3.04
Download Cf_root6.4 and flash Via Odin = PHONE ROOTED
Now you automatically have CWM a new recovery boot from the above root file, which will now allow you to flash Rom zip's in recovery mode.
thats it

What is it?
A simple automated root script for Windows users.
This uses the general root method used on most LG devices as of recent.
Batch file is influenced by thecubed
How do I use it?
First, if you're on Windows then you'll need the LG USB drivers: http://goo.gl/PfEgTg
From there, simply run root.bat then just follow the prompts.
Linux and Mac users should read root.bat and run the same commands on their systems.
Where to get it?

Mirror 2: http://d-h.st/v1A
md5: ca7fd85b71cc56334348b19d39d0a275
Warnings
Could void your warranty. Probably not a good idea to try to get your tablet serviced with this installed. It would be best to flash back to a stock configuration.
Where can I get help?
I can't possibly help everyone so I hope fellow users can help you in this thread.
Please do not flood me with PMs. I have a difficult enough time keeping up with all the messages and such that I get :angel:

Hi
You can always install "lgMobile Support Tool", from LG and do an "Upgrade Recovery", on the menu.. it removes root and flashes the latest firmware..
Hi madscout,
also works by performing an upgrade to the same version already installed?

If @dalingrin has a faster procedure to remove his Root...is better, in any case I understand the guidance and tools.

Reason i want to root is i need to be able to access apps i have on my phone properly and have been told it needs rooted.

No more than you are right now- just stay away from unknown apps, or those available from questioned sources (most malicious threats are disguised as known apps), and use only mods/frameworks from known developers here in XDA...
A words of advice- make sure you recognize the apps you let them root access (cf-Auto root includes SuperSU- an app which acts as 'firewall' between aps and root access- so make sure to update it when needed), and second-
ALWAYS READ THE APP'S PERMISSIONS REQUEST BEFORE INSTALLING

I temp rooted mine with dirty cow, however it gained me very little. There are three main obstacles: 1) SELinux prevents most things from working, because each program runs within a tight security context, 2) using dirty cow causes the kernel to not save changes to the partition (it doesn't want to write a corrupted partition to disk), in other words a r/w /system is useless, even when you can finally write to it, 3) using dirty cow on the most attractive programs (from a permissions perspective) causes "little" problems like the screen going off.
I've been monitoring another XDA thread (sorry, link is at home) where they are working through these issues on another device. There are various approaches and workarounds, but they currently all involve way more risk than I can justify for a $500 phone.
AIUI, once you've got root, you need to be able to put selinux into permissive mode, but surely getting temp root is a start?
Can you not install systemless root?
If I got the dates right, the phone kernel should be affected by this bug. A proof of concept seemed to be promised by the reporter in the next few days. http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/607
Will be interesting to see how it compares to dirty cow as far as access.

Please note that the phone is 64-bit. This is source code that requires compilation and additional code to do anything useful. Prerequisites include the NDK and related build tools installed via Android Studio. I run Linux so it was relatively painless, but I imagine it might be more of a challenge under Windows.

Hi. I know this thread is about the Lenovo Phab2 Pro and I have the Lenovo Phab2 but maybe someone can help me. I tried what was suggested on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/phab-2/how-to/how-to-root-phab-2-pb2-650y-t3524305 But it seems I screwed up and now the phone gets stuck in the Lenovo sign. I'd really appreciate some help since I just bought this phone 2 days ago and now I can't use it. I can access TWRP but it seems there's nothing in /system. I think maybe that's the problem. I'm no expert but since I had rooted and downgraded and upgraded firmware several times on my previous phone, a LG G3. I thought maybe I could do this. I shouldn't have If someone can help me I'd really appreciate. Thanks in advance.
I was able to fix this. Sorry to have bothered.
Hi,
I've been able to get proper root access on this phone. One new problem I am facing is that the tango camera and sensors doesn't seem to work. Normal camera works just fine.
Is this related to the rooting or can it be anything else entirely?
Edit: Never mind. I was able to fix it without having to remove the root. Apparently 'Tango Core' didn't have permissions to access camera. I am not sure how that got reset. So I gave access to it and now it works just fine.

Dominic, what method did you use to root the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro? Can you provide a link or instructions?

Unfortunately this device will likely be locked just like the J327T.
I have been watching that thread and everything that has been tried is pretty much what I attempted to explain would be a waste of time.
The combination firmware is useless to gain root on nougat.
No auto root is ever gonna work either and neither is Flashfire or SuperSU.
There is a list of reasons why these things won't work, but I'll not waste my time in that thread explaining why.
I don't mind explaining further why here. Just so others will not waste efforts like on the J327T thread.
I'll let that thread run its course until all avenues have reached their inevitable dead ends.
They are harsh words, but unfortunately they are truth.
Suffice to say that the only real way for this device to see root is either an unlocked bootloader (highly unlikely), a proper engineering binary or an exploit is released for Android 7.
If an exploit is found then Kingroot will almost certainly incorporate it in their Software and then there maybe a chance that the combination binary (not the whole firmware) will help get root.
If anyone can confirm for sure this device doesn't have a locked bootloader then I'd be happy to work on it.

Yes there is a fairly easy way.
Also you need to read my posts in that thread you linked.
I have requested several times for it to be closed.
Nothing in that thread will work.
Again it comes down to people who don't understand what they are posting.
It's not me being negative, these things just don't work. If you want me to go in to detail for why then I can explain.

No, do bother going into detail, i prolly wouldnt understand.
If/When you work on either the J327T or J727T, i'm here to test....
BTW Chimera is saying them can root both devices. Before i think of putting up the money, what are your thoughts? At that point i might be rooted but no recovery
J727T/1 Recovery/Root (SS SafeStrap)???
Would this work?
Or be a good place to start, building off it???
IF I remember right, it was used for the S4 or S5 att, with same issue. It would set up recovery after bootloader, or something like that. I'm no noon, but not a senior either.
Just a suggestion??
Would be great if someone could implement it to work??
What u think?

I'm don't believe it is still being used today on the new OS's.
Was just a thought, if anyone thinks it may be an option to get the file and port it or whatever have to do to it to make it work for this soo to say non-rootable phone.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this here idea?
