    Post long term but relatively novice member

    I appreciate the admonishment about "taking the time" and I actually considered that I had. Unfortunately, my limited reading here and elsewhere resulted in the same conclusion that you reached, minus the aspirational portion! I guess I was hoping that, indeed, my reviews were truly...

    Thread long term but relatively novice member

    People, I just returned to the Samsung "fold" after a hiatus of several years. It's a Note 10+ 5G, with T-Mobile. While the improvement from my previous LG (AT&T) phone and experience is absolute (T-Mobile has turned out to be a wonderful surprise), what I was really hoping for was, among...

    Post Root and Bootloader achieved kinda...

    That's why I always ordered through on line distributors who tend to sell ww versions of phones. I suppose I was lucky in that I could always just insert my sim and all the essentials worked. Once I had to make a minor change in the APN settings and my local AT&T rep gave them to me! I will...

    Post Root and Bootloader achieved kinda...

    Well, I can only answer by saying that, since the days of Windows Mobile 1.03, I have owned many phones (my friends would say I have a problem)! Even with jailbreak, I realized early on that iOS was never going to be able to assist in my work, etc, so I have never owned an iPhone. Moreover, I...

    Post Root and Bootloader achieved kinda...

    The phone is really quite nice. However, contrary to what I normally do, I bought phone through AT&T. They have done certain things which (so far) prevent one from getting into bootloader through any method that I can use. Indeed, their "recovery" is merely a single "nuclear option". Either...

    Post KDZ V40 V409N10l

    I appreciate it. I sort of wanted to make sure that there wasn't something obvious I was missing. For a phone of this level, I was not expecting that it would be so defective.. I have never seen a phone with no real recovery.. This is a first! I wish I could wait for it to be fixed but when I...

    Was worth a shot! No. 1 I had actually tried before. No. 2, like 1, just boots back into the system.

    Without being able to get into bootloader, how do you add TWRP?

    LG V40 Recovery/Bootloader Has anyone else had the following experience with the LG V40: I obtained mine about a three weeks ago. It does have the latest Android already loaded. It's from AT&T. While i am no expert, I always root and am usually pretty successful at it and rooting does...

    Post [root] [ZS570KL] Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe fast rooting method. Despite TWRP

    Without the right Twrp, many benefits to rooting are missing such as removing stock rom applications. Seems without being able to boot to a recovery, even Titanium cannot remove apps because it needs to clean the dalvic.. Can't do it without a recovery Sent from my ASUS_Z016D using...

    Post [Q] Getting Controller to work with Samsung Homesync

    You are right about homesync. It is a remarkably useless item. Neither a real server, nor does it even have the ability to run one's basic tablet apps, such as hbo-go, etc, which would make it useful as a permanent media center with all one's movie subscriptions, etc! However, yesterday...
