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root my tablet, it is a 10.1" onn surf walmart tablet, I wanted to root it, but all the guides I could find are either outdated, or the wrong model (or both!)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

Oh I still rememberer first time I tried to root my phone, I swear I was sweating.

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.
