I tried using this guide (well-written, BTW) to root my Tab Mini C. I'm using a Windows 11 ARM VM on my Mac. When I run Zadig to install the driver, after a minute Zadig stops and tells me that there was an error and the driver was not installed. No more info than that. The CPU for the Mini C is also a Bengal, so I assumed that it would use the same driver. Maybe not? Any ideas? I can run the edl Python stuff on my Mac, but the Windows method seemed easier.... : )

Mmm, it seems like VMs sometimes have trouble with USB.
For a Mac I'd probably use the Python version.

I should port my stuff. Android? RPi? Ubuntu?

Agreed!

I pulled out my notes on how I rooted the Note Air 2 a while back, and followed that on my Mac. It all went flawlessly! My Tab Mini C is now rooted!

Also under Linux I could root my TabUltraC version 2023-11-22_07-29_3.5_9 46657f755 with the help of this guide.
The only difference is that I used https://github.com/bkerler/edl. The difficulty is that I needed to install the modules mentioned in requirements.txt by hand adding python- for each of them (for example: pacman -S python-capstone or apt install python-capstone).
(python3 setup.py build gave an error message, but that didn't matter.)
I could now read the boot_a image with:
./edl r boot_a boota.img
The rest is the same as in the above description.
