Nope. You need the bootloader to have fastboot access. So you can grant root access via fastboot. There is no other way to input commands other than bootloader screen. If u got it from newegg.com the accidental damage coverage will cover any issues with being bricked or damaged device. Trust me having root on TN7 is awesome! I enjoy those features on this tablet. The little things About root out weigh the bigger things aka warranty.
Its a XOLO tablet ( Indian distributor ) , but it has that accidental damage protection! but still i dont want to void my official warrenty.
I guess a better question then is how did that weird Chinese program root our tablets on 4.2? It didn't require doing anything at all to the bootloader.
Delivered 4.2 Notes came with unlocked bootloaders,they locked it down on 4.3 update.
Are you saying that when we first got the Note 7 on 4.2.2, they were already unlocked? Then we unwittingly locked it back via the 4.3 OTA? If that's the case, why can't we just use the same method to unlock it back without voiding the warranty?
