    Post Rooting E6 (Surfna)

    Looks like you are correct. I ran the TWRP app and didn't find the E6 in their list. So even though that method is called "Install TWRP Recovery On Motorola Moto E6 Using TWRP App: Method 2", it's just BS. Sigh. Any other options then? All I really want is root. I don't need custom ROMs...

    Post Rooting E6 (Surfna)

    I just got one of these from Consumer Cellular and want to root it. It has a build of PPBS29.73-81-5-8. The list of files for this only seems to go up to 73-81-5-5. Can I use that anyway or will it brick my phone? Or better yet, how about this easy looking method (from...

    Post Best Stylus Phone?

    OK so I guess there's not much interest in stylus phones but for the record this is what I ended up doing. It might be useful to someone. The Infinix Note 6 had the best overall specs and features but is apparently only available in some third world countries. The Note 10 lacks an audio jack...

    Thread Best Stylus Phone?

    This question has been asked here before, but apparently not recently. With the upcoming demise of 3G CDMA on Verizon, it's time for me to start looking for a replacement for my old reliable Samsung Note 3. AFAICT, there are currently a few choices for stylus phones (as of 5/3/20): Samsung...

    Post SM-T380/T385 Root?

    Wow - lots of information to digest there! For the record, I have a Samsung T380 Tab A 8.0 (2017). When you click on About tablet -> Build number, it says NMF26X.T380DXU1ARB3. When you click on Software Update, it says version T380DXU1ARB3 / T380XAR1ARB3. Android version is 7.1.1. I...

    Post SM-T380/T385 Root?

    Thanks for the reply, Mr. Churchill (I liked the way you handled the war too). I seem to have the same model you do: NMF26X.T380DXU1ARB3. Unfortunately, I'm in the US and none of the Sammobile files are US. I picked T380DXU1ARB3_XSA1ARB3_XSA_Australia_7.1.1.zip, coincidentally enough but...

    Post SM-T380/T385 Root?

    While I'm serving my seven-day sentence in OEM Unlock State Prison I thought I'd make a suggestion and ask a question about the OP. "3. Download & install on tablet MM APK."[/I] Perhaps this step could be changed to: "3. Download and install MagiskManager APK from...

    Post YouTube Background Playback issue

    Thanks! YT 12.39.60 (from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-12-39-60-release/youtube-12-39-60-17-android-apk-download/download/) indeed works perfectly. It is my firm policy to never auto-update anything. That's why I still have a working copy of Wanam Xposed. :)

    Post YouTube Background Playback issue

    Sadly, it doesn't work for me: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.2 Xposed 2.6.1 Youtube 5.5.27, also tried latest version from the Market Youtube Background Playback 2.0.4 Youtube appears to work normally but when I turn the screen off, the music stops. The Xposed module is installed...

    Thread RCA Viking Pro 10 RCT6603W87M7 stuck in fastboot

    OK, I got my RCA Viking Pro 10 to go into fastboot mode but it won't connect to my PC so I can't do a fastboot reboot command. The battery is internal. Is there any way to get this thing out of fastboot mode? Update: For the DUH department - just get a paper clip and push the tiny little...

    Thread Need RCA Viking Pro 10 RCT6603W87M7 root

    Is there a root for the RCA Viking Pro 10 RCT6603W87M7 10" tablet running Android 6.0? There's a lengthy thread here for a different RCA Viking Pro tablet but I've found nothing for this model anywhere. Thanks.

    Post Southern Telecom Smartab

    I'm trying to do the same thing, so far with no luck. I will add that this tablet goes by other names, including Polaroid Q1010, Q10, and M10. I've tried all the usual Android app one-click root apps (iroot, vroot, kingroot, etc.) and they all failed. I tried a PC program called Impactor...

    Post [UNIVERSAL GUIDE] Root Any Android Device Manually !

    I tried both these methods on a Polaroid M10/Q1010 (Southern Telecom) 10" tablet with Android 6.0.1. Total fail. I got adb running on my XP PC, pushed all the files into /data/local/tmp and chmod'ed them OK. But when I tried running Nautilus, the tablet doesn't show up. I'm using Ubuntu in a...
