Anybody was able to root a TV Box which is Android 2.3.4, model is MBX DVBT.
Model is MBX DVBT board (c03ref) ver 2.3.4
The version I got has no usb to pc port, so not sure even if it can be put into recovery mode.
Also there is no update option in the setup menu neither doodle applications.
But Market, G mail works fine and can install apk files from sd card.
It didn't come from manual. And I wanted to view website with correct arabic fonts but all letters are disconnected and in reverse direction.

Seems hard to root, no mini usb, no reset pinhole. I am negotiating with the Chinese seller to exchange it with another one with USB to PC connection.
Hello guys,
I was wondering if usb otg works on android one.
But as i tested with cable..it isnt working..
So i installed a 'usb otg checker' app from market.
The test gave me a positive result..that means the phone suppprts usb host mode.
But is disabled in kernel.
So my question is can usb otg mode be enabled WITHOUT rooting and changing kernel.
Cause i dont want to root my phone as am satisfied with the features i am getting and also waiting for official android update.
Plz help me in this topic.. Otg check result attached in attachments.
Thank you.
Hello, I got a samsung galaxy tab 2. I am very new to rotting and all that, i rooted the tablet using this guide and it has worked
droidviews.com/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-wifi-gt-p5110-on-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-firmware/
I am trying to accomplish two things with it:
One- Getting the OTG to work with it. It didnt work straight away with the adapter and I have had little luck finding a soloution. THe app USB OTG checker says I have the usb otg api, but when i plug in a usb drive it dosent recognise it. I think i may have to install a "Kernal" to fix this but i don'y know how to find one that is compatible and will work. (I am doing this for my mum so she can use a usb drive and i dont want to brick it)
Two- this is the main goal, to get ethernet connectivity on the tablet, i think the otg will have to be fixed first but i am not sure. I cant get it to work and apps that enable the ethernet connectivity like:
google.com/store/apps/details?id=xda.usbhost.test&hl=en
Require some kernal. I have su and busybox installed already.
I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 with android version 4.1.1 and kernal version 3.0.31 - 523998
Thank you very much if you can help me
Hi
As far as I can see, OTG support is already present with your tablet.

The best way to check possibility of USB ethernet is to ask in Q/A section

Good day !
Hello again!
I'm still new fairly here as this is my second post.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 (SCH-i535) I rooted with Towelroot. I don't have any kind of Superuser app installed on my phone, and I don't know if I can install Safestrap.
I want to connect my Xbox One controller via a USB OTG cable to my phone for use with Retroarch. The controller vibrates when I plug it into my phone, but there are no lights and I get no response from pressing the buttons in Retroarch. I used the Easy OTG Checker app and found that my phone correctly identified my controller as "Microsoft Controller". I tested my keyboard with the OTG cable in Retroarch and Chrome and and it worked, so I know my OTG cable is working. However, I still can't get any app to respond to my Xbox One controller.
After looking at some tutorials I saw that I may need the USB/BT Joystick Center app installed in order to actually use the controller. I installed the app, tapped the "Search" button, and got the following error:
Code:
Cannot get access to '/dev/uinput'. Please install a custom rom with root rights.
I do have root rights, so there must be something blocking the app from accessing /dev/uinput. Is this because I don't have a Superuser app installed?
Also, can I install Safestrap?

Hmmm if you figure this out please let me know. I have an Xbox one myself and would love to connect it to my phone. And yes you can install safestrap as long as you are able to root the phone
Safestrap can be installed via Odin
Nexus 6 via VRToxin
Hi all, recently I decided to give Nougat a try (again) but till now I still facing this problem: Stickmount doesn't work well with Lineage OS 14.1 7.1.2, when I mount my OTG, under /sdcard/UsbStorage/sda1 when I tap it it just say "Requested file path not found". Is there anyway to mount it properly so that I can get it recognized in other apps? I am using Solid Explorer, even it provides native USB OTG stupport, but other app cannot see the USB OTG and access it. But since Stickmount doesn't work, is there any other solution? It works great on Marshmallow thou. If there's no alternative then I might go back to MM again, because USB OTG is essential for me. I need other apps to be able to access the USB OTG too.
