Hello, I was wondering about how to root my tablet, it is a 10.1" onn surf walmart tablet, I wanted to root it, but all the guides I could find are either outdated, or the wrong model (or both!) and I’m kinda at my wits end.I have OEM unlocking and usb debugging, so i can root it i believe.

I wonder if there is any software or app that can dump the ROM file? because I can’t seem to find any archive of the model, and like i said, the ones people talk about are the wrong type and i don’t wanna risk breaking anything.

thank you.

    thank you all for your input, I’ve decided not to root it due to lack of experience and there being no need for me to do so. thank you all once again!

      Hey, it’s just lack of experience, not lack of “smarts.”

      Everyone started off knowing nothing. Asking questions and reading a lot will get you there. Takes notes. Pay attention to conflicting information, because it’s all just people trying out things and sometimes forgetting details.

      This was a fairly supportive thread.

      When you try something, just understand the risk of what you could lose if something goes wrong.

          Same here, especially as it was the Samsung S2 of my employer.

          However, when you don’t try (prefferably on an expendable device) you never learn.

            Yeah that and always get a soft-brick solution tested before hand.

            My first softbrick was 30 min before going to college I had to show my bus tickets on my laptop, and fix the phone before my chicken mom came to my apartment because I would not awnser the phone.

      If you want similar privileges try Shizuku. It’s not fully fledged root but you can still use it to do some interesting stuff.
