There were a couple of inconsistencies with the partitions/environment from the instructions, but I found workarounds and got the necessary partiton image files off. Now I'm searching for a custom recovery compatible with this tablet, which I'm not finding. I think I remember the stock recovery...

Thanks! Going through it now, will let you know how it goes.

Absolutely

adbd is what's providing me root via adb as far as I can tell (it's the only thing I can find via the config and init files, it's specifically commented about there). /data/app is empty, as is app-private. Any other method to identify what specific root app, other than adbd, is there? EDIT: I...

Both (and Mac OS). I have a Windows 10 desktop host with Ubuntu Bash installed, a few Linux VM's (Ubuntu, Kali, and other Debian based distros), and a Macbook Pro.

Hello, Just getting back into Android dev stuff from many years away. I have two low-end Android 4.1.1 tablets, one has a busted screen that doesn't show anything (but does boot and I can grab full access through ADB), the other is one I bought that is identical in model number (M712MC) to...

Nova Launcher Prime, L theme, flatro icons, UCCW elegante_date time and day widget.

I went to a white screen this time, the yellowing is there, but it doesn't bother me. It's so faint. My 26" LCD monitor that I'm viewing right now has the same (though it's just slightly darker, not yellow), so maybe I'm used to it. Sounds like July 11 was a build date that fixed it for at least...

I also just got mine a couple of days ago, don't notice any screen defects whatsoever. No yellowing, no lines, nothing. Build date is July 2.

Also using the Jaybird Bluebird X bluetooth in-ear headphones when working out, doing yard work or anything else that I might sweat with. Usually use my prior iPhone 5S headphones when I'm just lounging (they're actually pretty good), and if I need concentration or am traveling I use my Bose...

Adb, like I suggested first. Look on YouTube if you're not sure how to use it. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Odin doesn't wipe anything, but the re install would overwrite much of your personalizations. Boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then boot into download and Odin and restore. When you're up again, download nandroid manager from play store and select what you want to restore from your...

Boot to recovery and use adb console from your pc to swap the files. Learn some Linux command line commands if you don't know how. Primarily you will use cp target.file destination . file. Make a backup if you want via mv. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Yeah, sounds like a bad phone and bad advice. Isis sim card works fine with wifi calling. Don't believe everything you hear from customer service, I've found most of those guys have a desire to be right so strong, they'll tell you anything to build trust as an intelligent person. Some are great...

Power off, take out sim card, put back in, turn on. If that doesn't help, get a new sim from T-Mobile. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
