    Post Pixel 3a for £249 or 4a for £400+?

    I just switched from a Samsung Galaxy s10e to a Pixel 3a, I am literally here now to get it rooted and saw your post. I was debating whether to get the Pixel 4 or 3a and I went with the 3a. My reasoning was not just about the cost, it was because on the Pixel 4 there is only Faceunlock...

    Post Can't switch from stock

    Whats weird is my tablet also won't install anything on TWRP, I just tried installing SuperSU from it to see if it would work (having to use Kingroot atm) and it just does nothing. I think this is the issue since I'm factory resetting before installing a ROM, which is therefore wiping my system...
