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root my tablet, it is a 10.1" onn surf walmart tablet, I wanted to root it, but all the guides I could find are either outdated, or the wrong model (or both!)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

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 aren't very smart, you should probably not be rooting. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with rooting that you can't do otherwise?

If you're trying to disable applications, you can do that with ADB. If you're trying to delete them; know that they live in the system partition and will not free up any space.

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.

perhaps there is a better way to achieve this?
