Rooting the Classic

[Polaybuzz]

Can we root by unlocking the bootloader on the Classic? I just want to install some apk's.

[Ryu]

no you can not.

[Polaybuzz]

Really? Because there is an option to unlock bootloader in the developer menu...

[nbs.]

You still cant

[Emporium]

Buzz boxes can install APK easily (unless the APK you want specifically required root). Put them on a USB key, launch the app Installer and select the apk of your choice.  Or like in my case, I have an "apk install" directory on my NAS, I use Solid Explorer, and go directly to the NAS share and click the apks one after the other to install them (after giving solid explorer permission to install apps).  Makes reinstalling any box, a simple task.

And not much that I know of that requires root today for use on a media box.
