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root my tablet, it is a 10.1" onn surf walmart tablet, I wanted to root it, but all the guides I could find are either outdated, or the wrong model (or both!)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.
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.
I’m very sorry, i’m not very smart, why do i need a superuser app? what does it do in the process?
also thank you for responding so quickly, i always appreciate help.
If you want to remove bloat, you can use this software. It doesn’t require root. Just be careful to not disable important system apps otherwise you can make your tablet unusable and will have to find a way to go to recovery and factory reset.
I used it on a friend’s cheap Chinese phone and it removed a lot of stuff. The phone was much better after that, but of course, be extra careful to not remove important stuff.
oh i see. I am slightly tech inclined, but im just not phone smart if that makes sense. I always make sure to install ublock on my firefox’s (mobile, pc). and what should I use to remove the stock apps?. and while my browser is ad-free, I was wondering if i could block in-app ads? and thank you for informing me about everything!.
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.

to be honest, i’m not sure, just because i can doesn’t mean that I should. I suppose I just wanted to be able to remove bloat and get a add blocker.

Get PersonalDNSfilter from playstore or fdroid. It’s a system wide dns blocker app. This is for your system wide adblocking needs.

perhaps there is a better way to achieve this?
