When you say "cannot download updates for andor's trail to it," is "it" the tablet that you are using? You might have better luck by playing the game on an android phone or an android emulator and moving your save file over to that device.

If the save file does not work on the official version of the game, you could edit the save file of the official version of the game to give yourself the same level of progress. However, I do not know how to do that. Someone else would have to write a guide for it. See viewtopic.php?p=80275 .

Interesting insight - thx for sharing.
Probably there is a hole to get the system open for you - there always is. But I expect it to be rather hard work - not worth it I'd say. There are better ways to spend your time :)
Stay outside bop and happy playing Andor's Trail!

It is possible to pull the saved game file, edit it, and replace it, but it requires hardware mods to read/write directly from the eMMC. This method is highly impractical for most users, and extremely unlikely while still incarcerated.

As for accessing the tablet via a computer, I reverse-engineered the tablet control software, but it still requires ATG's private encryption key (384-bit ECDSA) to function properly.

In sum, prisoners are stuck with version 0.8.6.1 of the game and are unlikely to be able export their progress without significant effort. But anyone who grinded through to level 122 may have the persistence required to accomplish the task.
