Truth: I don't generally use or develop for Android devices, but I got one today to use as a testing platform for an app I'm working on. So pardon me in advance if I'm sounding like a noob. I promise I mostly know what I'm doing with this thing. Just having some trouble...
I purchased the Nextbook Ares 8 and am marveling at what you get for the cost these days considering my first personal PC ran about 18.3x slower than this thing, with 1 the power, and was considerably bigger. Amazing.
But I wanted to root it and put Marshmallow on it. Now, here's the thing: I don't have a MicroSD. So I'm being a bit hasty and trying to do this via strictly USB. I've read every post on this site about this specific tab and rooting it. I've also installed KingoRoot, iRoot, VRoot, King Root... all with no luck. They all fail.
I figure it's because the device is encrypted? I've been attempting to get around that all day.
And yes, it's been put into developer mode with USB debugging enabled, too.
I've also tried doing "adb reboot bootloader", and then "fastboot oem unlock", and it'll reboot fine, but it'll just hang in CMD on <waiting for device>.
I know if I had a MicroSD, I could pull it off, but I don't at the moment. Am I screwed until I do?
Thank you guys! :fingers-crossed:
