How to start a command prompt on android tablet or phone?

Hi mm2426 welcome to mm2426.
Android is indeed a Linux kernel based operating system, however unlike say Ubuntu, there is no terminal app and command shell provided. You can always install one from Google Play or side-load it. However to make it actually useful, give it a command shell and *nix utilities, you have to install Busybox, this requires rooting.

Hey dear
Try Android Terminal Emulator application from android market. It will allow you to access android's built-in Linux command line shell.

I think I got hacked yesterday, did a hardreset, is there a way to encrypt my phone? unable to root, no root method available thanks for your time
@LG D321 user Why don't you go ahead and make a new thread in Android Questions. Also be a little more descriptive. Phone make and model, Android version, carrier, maybe a little background on what happened.
Just tap the "help" button in the Android Forum header.
Or maybe we can just bump this thread a bit.

Could be, all depending on what you've actually got there.
