PLEASE Help quick! About to root a device!

[Recon97]

I am trying to root my tablet that I use it in car. Picked it up for 45$ on sale. The tablet is running 4.4.2 Kitkat. I will be rooting via towelroot v3. Would it soft brick my device and it warns me of some kind of exploits. I don't know if much about rooting. Please help!

Hello?!

You should look up xda-developers. They have everything I've ever needed that's connected to rooting and phones. 

 

And yes, Like the poster above me said, the process can be very different with every device. i.e. It took me 2 minutes to root Samsung Galaxy S3, while I spent at least 2 hours only to unlock the bootloader of my HTC ONE. 

 

I recommend rooting manually regardless. You'll understand things more if you'll do. It will be easier to troubleshoot and bricking a device won't be an issue that way. (I've bricked my old Samsung Galaxy Ace at least 20 times. Still works fine)

 

Patience is key.

If it's a $45 tablet brand new chances are it uses a MediaTek or some other generic/Chinese processor, which is not supported by Towelroot. Running it won't soft-brick your device though, the worst that can happen is Towelroot telling you that the exploit didn't work.

Processor is ArmV7. Towel root didn't worked. Tried other apps too, but I met failure at every end. Now I am thinking to root via pc.I have kernel version 3. 0.36+

Doesn't soft bricking means that the software becomes useless ie, the phone fails to boot?

ARM V7 is very unspecific as to what CPU it actually has. Try downloading the CPU-Z app.

CPU is Rockchip RK3066

Architecture is 2x ARM V7 Cortex A9

Kernel version is 3.0.36+

Guys, CPU-Z App says that I have Root Access! What does it means? But the root checker app says that I do think have a rooted device.

Mate the best way is really to research and not to use apps, if it is routed look up how to install superuser and then try a app that needs root privileges to see if it works.
