[General Questions and Answers] Galane:
This is a 7.85" 1024x768 tablet running Android 4.4. That's 4.4.nothing. It's not the 7" or the 9" Nobis tablet. Staples has sold a bajillion of these nice aluminum cased tablets and so far it looks like nobody has done anything towards rooting this model. :( Web searches get "You *really* meant this *other* Nobis 7" or 9" tablet, right?" or "helpful" suggestions that I meant rooting some completely different Android device. (Web search engines are rapidly becoming nearly useless for finding obscure data.)

Tried framaroot 1.9.3, Cydia Impactor, RootX and TowelRoot. Negative result all around. Yes, I did have USB debugging and unknown locations checked on the tablet. Nothing can find it via ADB, even after installing the Android dev kit on x64 Win 7 and manually starting the ADB server.
