You obviously have no idea what you're talking about, quit trying to drop knowledge, you might end up fukking up someone's phone.

I looked at him dropping knowledge and was like :damn: . A couple of dudes are going to have to dig out their g1's after bricking :laff:

Get this on your phone. It is what I have on my infuse:

[Firmware][ICS]UNOFFICIAL CM9 for the Infuse 4G (06/27/2012) - xda-developers

Yeah but look at this shyt:


What is partially working:
Camera (flash is flaky - if it's not working, change its settings in the Camera app and it may start working)
Car dock audio (possibly desk dock too, untested) - Some issues with ringtone playback when docked - This is native dock audio, not using the Car Dock Redirector app workaround. Thanks go to StevenHarperUK of the GT-I9100 community for reworking CM9's dock audio code to permit this to work.
Wifi - It frequently loses connection when the device is asleep. Most likely needs some SDHCI driver tweaks to match the N7000 wifi driver.
Wifi Direct - A little glitchy but mostly working with I777/N7000. Won't talk to a P7510 (Tab 10.1) though.
Bluetooth - A2DP (music) and SCO (call audio) now works. However BT power management (LPM) is currently disabled, so BT may eat your battery when on.

:birdman:

before I just received the gnex I had a tmo vibrant
that I rooted
shyt ran like greased lightning...I rooted it because neither Samsung nor tmobile gave a fukk about me and knew they sold me a piece of shyt device with no GPS

after I rooted it though it ran like a dream machine

I'll prolly keep my unlocked gnex for the next 2-3yrs or more thanks to the ability to root

Did my first root on my +2 year old tablet. Definitely made mistakes along the way and had to read more than I expected. Even encountered the dreaded bootloop for a while. Total time was about 3-5 hours across a few days.

With that said, even tho my tablet stopped receiving 'official' updates, I flashed Android 12 thru LineageOS. Moving forward, I don't think I will ever buy a mid-range device again, let alone a high-range device... I can just root a cheap workhorse device and call it a day :blessed:

Had a locked Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 and used this site’s app to unlock and reset it:


Although it unlocked the phone I was unable to go back into the boot menu which I thought was suspicious so I will investigate some more. I gave the phone away after that cause it’s still locked to another phone service and can’t be activated. It can still be used for everything else though.

Found a locked Samsung Galaxy S22 gonna document my progress here cause I actually barely remember what I did two months ago.
