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root my tablet, it is a 10.1" onn surf walmart tablet, I wanted to root it, but all the guides I could find are either outdated, or the wrong model (or both!)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.

    Should be possible. Next step after unlocking would be installing a custom bootloader that supports installing a superuser app like supersu.

    And here starts the trouble, you need to run any alternative software that allows modifying your currently running system. But this is highly specific and built for that exact model of tablet.

    So if you can find a bootloader to flash and get it to boot, you should be fine.

        Supersu is like sudo for Linux or run as administrator for windows if you know it. If you try operations your phone wouldn’t allow due to lack off privileges it will promt you if you want it to enforce that via root.
