I think it's already pretty much at root when you flash the firmware. The only thing that I've had trouble with is removing the RKBMC app and a few others, but there are root apps that can manage that for me.

I have the same problem and I have tried unsuccessfully to root the device.

If you search the forums people recommend downloading the "adb.exe" tool (Android Bridge Driver).

But when I plug the board into my PC, adb doesn't recognise it as a device.

I have tried playing around with the usb settings (MTP, PTP, etc.) ... but no luck.

Please let me know if you have luck rooting it because I need this solution as well.

Done. Factory Reset my RK3399 board and it worked.

So, follow the instructions here (http://bbs.t-firefly.com/forum.p ... &highlight=root) ... and you should be fine.
