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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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. :)

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...

Anyone?

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...

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.

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...

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...

Thanks! I hit Reboot on the TWRP menu, then System. The Tab rebooted into normal Android with a message about upgrading system (I think that's an Android OTA update that arrived overnight while I was waiting for this - I put it on hold). I downloaded the latest SuperSU (thanks for the link!)...

"Try rebooting to recovery again and see if TWRP requests SU, " Well duh! Thanks! From the Boot Menu, I clicked on "Recovery" and hey presto it said "Install SuperSU? Your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now? This will root your device." (Swipe to install). Well hell...

OK, so I tapped Reboot but now I'm looking at something called Reboot Menu with four new choices: System, Recovery, Power Off, or Bootloader. Which one?

Thanks for the clarification. I did the Odin part OK and rebooted into recovery. Now I'm stuck on this step: "5.) reboot device, TWRP will detect that tablet is not rooted and ask if you want to intalls root. Slide to Install" I've got the TWRP menu on the screen with 8 items (Install...

OK, I'll give that a shot. So you just put this tar file in the AP line of Odin and hit Start? Any Options to check or uncheck?

"3.) flash the recovery.tar thru Odin 3.09 use PDA/AP button on Odin" Does this mean to put the tar file in the AP line of Odin? I don't see anything marked "PDA/AP" in Odin 3.09. Also, which Option boxes should be checked in Odin? It comes up with "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" already...

"http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2835264" Thanks for the pointer. I note though that that thread was started in August 2014. Does this TWRP method still work on my Oct. '14 NJ3 firmware? I'd pay good money at this point for a nice easy towelroot that works on this steenkin' Tab...

Hmm - well I just tried Vroot on my new Tab 4 and it didn't work - at least I think it didn't work. The Tab connected to the PC just fine and I ran Vroot. It briefly showed a little USB icon on the left side of its window. I clicked the green button ... and waited ... and waited. And since...

Thanks. I just wanted to be sure there weren't any hidden gotchas.

Ah ha. Indeed, I had not done any "Set Defaults" and they were all zero. I changed them to my usual settings and enabled the app. I think the confusion came in because if you do Settings -> Sound -> Volume, all four sliders (Music, Ringtone, Notications, and System) show zero. But if you do...

Thanks, but that's where this whole thing started. I renamed every file that started with "cam", and Shutter.ogg, and Shutter_multiple.ogg for good measure. That works great on the S3 and Note 2, but it does not work on the Verizon Note 3 4.4.2 NC4. You still get the shutter sound. I believe...

It occurs to me that perhaps the simplest solution to this problem would be to just use the camera app from the Note 2 in the Note 3. I'm wondering if that will cause any problems though. They both have the same display name, "Camera" and the same package name - com.sec.android.app.camera, but...

I got hit with this runaway IndexService process yesterday after downloading a large number of photos to my external SD card. Since S-Suggest is a feature I don't need, have never used and have no plans on ever using, I just froze it and IndexService. End of problem. Didn't come back even...

OK, so I took a Nandroid backup with Online Nandroid Backup yesterday of my nice, stable system before I started playing with ways to get rid of that annoying camera shutter sound. Turns out one of those ways somehow corrupted my system (I won't mention any names, but the app's initials are...

Thanks - apparently this was just a coincidence. Yesterday I also downloaded a large number of photos onto the SD card from my PC. TUrns out IndexService has something to do with S-Suggest. Since I never use the latter, I figured I didn't need the former. I just froze both of those and the...

Hmm - even though I turned the app off and then uninstalled it, I'm now getting some serious CPU drainage. I notice a process called IndexService is running constantly and using between 50% and 80% of the CPU. What's that all about? I used to have excellent battery life. Now it's draining fast.

It stops the camera sound on my VZ Note 3 4.4.2 NC4. But even after exiting the camera app, all categories of sound are muted. And if I go to Settings -> Sound -> Volume to restore them (Music, Ringtone, Noticifcations, and System), as soon as I hit the Home button to back out of Settings, it...

I'm using the default Calendar app that came pre-installed on the phone. It has no options for layout customization (I wish it did). But thanks for the reply anyway.

All I want is to get the default Calendar app on the Note 3 to display with white text on a dark background. This module looked good but didn't work for me. I selected Calendar but choosing "Holo dark" did nothing, even after a reboot. Choosing "Pure black" turned the view type menu bar along...

Well I'll agree that there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding this issue. All I can say is I tried a genuine Samsung brand 64 GB SDHC Class 10 micro-SD card in my Verizon Note 3 4.4.2 NC4 and it did not work. I had the card permissions fixed so I could write on it, and I could download...

I was able to successfully recover from a "hang at the Verizon logo" soft-brick on my NC4 4.4.2 Note 3 by following the directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380 It seems like it might be worth a shot.

Don't know about Messaging, but Ex Dialer (from the Play Store) has a black theme and doesn't require CWM. Works great.

Yes. It is. No, I don't mean upon restoration. I mean I take a full backup (user apps + system apps), go off for a cup of coffee, come back, see that it completed OK, exit TI, and then I see that my background is back to the Samsung default and it I open something that needs keyboard, the...

Oh there's absolutely no contest here: TowelRoot - http://towelroot.com It's worth it just for the label on the "activate" button: "Make It Rain!" I've had no issues with it. You don't have to screw around with Odin or download any multi-gigabyte files. You don't even have to reboot. It's...

What kind of SD card do you have? Apparently, according to a thread here: http://www.discussny.com/technical-support/10143-samsung-galaxy-note-3-not-read-new-micro-64gb-card.html the Note 3 will not work with 64 GB SDHC cards. I know, I tried and also got the disappearing file problem. You...

I got a new Note 3 a week ago and the Hardware version is also N900V.07

I have found that Titanium always deletes my custom wallpaper and replaces it with the Samsung default every time I do a backup. It also changes my keyboard (normally Hacker's Keyboard) back to Samsung keyboard. It started doing this several updates ago. Verizon Note 3, 4.4.2, NC4, stock...

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. After rebooting, I found that my entire mp3 directory on the extSdCard somehow mysteriously vanished. The directory is still there, but it's completely empty. Then I found that my Slingplayer app doesn't work - the audio comes through but the video shows...

You have the same model I do. I used Odin 3.09. Worked fine.

Nope - ADB didn't work. ALthough the PC gave the USB connected ding sound when I plugged in the phone, "adb remount" returns "device not found" and "ad shell" just hangs without returning a prompt. So it looks like we're back to square one. Time to Odin the stock ROM ... again. Grrr. UPDATE...

Yeah, something's messed up, that's for sure. I did back up the original platform.xml file but I don't have a nandroid backup. I had barely finished getting root before running into this problem so even if I have to reflash the stock ROM, I'm not losing any important data (aside from the time...

Well after spending all weekend figuring out how to get it to root, now I'm up against this extSdCard nonsense. I did the platform.xml edit from the OP and rebooted. Now the phone goes through the Samsung boot logo and then hangs on the Verizon logo with the blue LED on. And it's hung hard -...

Couldn't have done it without your help. :o You saved me from an embarrassing trip to the Verizon store.

Whoa - that was easy! That took less than 60 seconds and worked perfectly. I didn't even have to reboot. RootChecker confirms I have root and TI Backup is working. Now if all I want is root, do I still need to install safestrap and supersu too? Just doing the first part seems to have given...

OK, so now that I've brought my phone back from the dea, I need to root it. In the OP, it says: But going over that list there seems to be problems with each of the methods given there. Root de la Vega in particular is what soft-bricked my phone in the first place. I also see another root...
