Do you actually own the TV or one with that same stand? 3/3 people I know, plus OP had to do something extra to make that stand work. That’s bad design. Maybe not for the bottom line of the company, but definitely for the customer.
Functionally the stand is garbage too even if you do have a massive surface. It’s not at all adjustable and it can easily damage your table if it shifts at all.
But I guess, expecting a product to work out of the box without third party add-ons like a VESA stand or needing to cut grooves in a wooden block to keep it from toppling over is “entitled” now.
How? Having an unlocked bootloader or root breaks Safety Net, which disables many apps. You need an unlocked bootloader to install custom ROMs.
Magisck used to be a workaround, but Google has been sabotaging it at the OS and hardware layers, so it wasn’t working the last time I tried a few years ago.
