OP did google, just didn't find good guides.

[–] potentiallynotfelix 1 points 1 year ago

I actually have done a massive amount of research but most of the instructions I’ve found are vague in some respects, sometimes they’re outdated, and sometimes they just assume too much. I’ve literally seen ones that say like “1. Unlock boot loader. 2. Load new rom. 3…. Etc” I was like “uh… how about any clue on how to do those things? Even a link to sub-procedures where it’s already documented.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues like that, I can imagine how that would be upsetting. If you do hit a roadblock like that, I'm sure that people can help if you post here. I only said my original comment because I didn't understand the question right. I misinterpreted and thought that you were asking for something like my second comment, with every single device listed and a guide or something on how to root it. Guides really do vary in quality, and your mileage really will vary with them.

Thank you! Unfortunately I was one of the negative commenters. Didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to ask that you do a bit of searching before asking questions, I'm sorry if I came off as an asshole.

List of root availability status and guide if available

  • Samsung Galaxy A12: ✅XDA Forums
  • Samsung Galaxy j7 Refine: Your model requires root, might not be possible. Providing the specific model number(j737-something) can help.
  • Motorola E4: ✅Has official TWRP, you can find a generic rooting guide(or ask here) and root it with magisk.
  • UMX U693CL: ?XDA Forums this isn't a guide but it has custom recovery included, you should be able to flash magisk(if your device is even supported)
  • RCA Reno: Can't find any info easily
  • Jabrbox H460: Can't find any info easily
  • Sony/Ericsson Xperia LT22i: Might be possible? XDA Forums
  • LG L-83C: Might be possible with generic root method
  • LG AS730: XDA Forums
  • HTC Desire 530: CAUTION: Requires SuperSU(Proprietary). I would advise you use Magisk instead, it's the same as SuperSU but Libre and more modern. You can ask for help here if you need it, but pretty much replace the supersu zip file with the magisk apk, renamed to a zip XDA Forums

Some of these may not be as comprehensive as you like, but most of them seemed relatively simple. Also don't get discouraged by me not being able to find any info about them. If you put more effort in you might have better results.

BE CAUTIOUS! There are plenty of fake TWRP and Magisk websites, but the only place to get Official TWRP is twrp.me, or if it's not supported on your device, you can get a community build. The only place to get Magisk is on the Github page. It comes as an APK, but can be converted to a zip and flashed.

~~I hate to say this, but lemmy is not your search engine. If you need help rooting, feel free to ask here, but it's a tad bit inconsiderate to ask for directions on every single device, or ask people to do research on every single device. Not to mention, you didn't specify the carrier or lock status of the devices.~~

Edit: I misunderstood the post

I've always thought that was a more exclusive US government thing

30%, my new mexico number gets a lot of spammers which just don't get blocked.

Edit: I pretty much only pick up calls that I know or from a different state.

What in the motorola

[–] potentiallynotfelix 1 points 1 year ago

I've got an intel gpu and I don't have wayland-exclusive issues, but it's still quite buggy

Hopefully the government realizes that the loss of profit from piracy is usually zero, because the people downloading usually won't even buy the game
