Just wondering if anyone has figured out root for 5.1.1 yet, or if it will be possible?
Thank you

P907A 5.1.1 root?
- Thread starter Danilynne
- Start date
Towelroot doesn't work.
I've tried a whole bunch of different methods adapted from other devices but nothing works. Different bootloaders, kernels and such. I'm not a dev so my knowledge is limited but I am willing to try whatever if anyone has any ideas.
It's a shame. This is a hell of a tablet on 5.1.1. Just missing root. Don't want to downgrade but I'm mostly missing multi window for some apps that don't support it. And a few other things.

Didn't bootloaders and kernels? 0_o ... I thought the bootloader was locked by AT&T good and tight?

I'm on the p907a. The locked bootloader is the issue. Like I said I'm not a dev so I didn't understand the whole locked bootloader thing. Still don't completely but I've learned a bit trying different things.
Usually I just wait for someone to root whatever I'm using but this tablet gets so little attention I thought I might learn and try it myself. Waaaayyyy over my head here. LOL

Did anybody try the flashfire method? It worked with lollipop 5.02 on my LTE.
I can get it to flash with Flashfire but I don't know how to pre root the update. If I use Flashfires ever root it boot loops on the Note Pro screen.

Bump this up, maybe some amazing developer can do kindly figure a way to root 5.1.1 on our very neglected,lol,? P907A... it would be the best thing in the world to have my cake of 5.1.1 and eat it too,root...?????????
I wish more people used this tablet! Best android device I've owned... not sure I want to update if I can't root though. =(
Yea i haven't updated either, cant live without root...but i love my tab, and i want it updated and rooted, damnit,lol..
Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade back to KitKat? I'd be willing to go for it if I knew I could go back.
You can go back to stock with the original firmware.

Yea i updated it , but found out i couldn't root so just odined back to 4.1 i believe. No problems. .
I would like to know as well. I'll be all set once we get root....if we ever do.
I doubt we will ever get root for this tablet on 5.1.1. Unless another Towelroot like solution is found. Nobody really cares about this tablet and when you add the hardware bugs it had from launch its no wonder. Its a shame but it is what it is.
