    Post FYI: KEYone susceptible to Janus vulnerability - rooting possible?

    I feel the backup pain, however - the difference between data backup (easy) versus full system backup - really is it necessary? Or just a "want to" item? (you have to answer that one for yourself...) AFA the ROMS list, there is a good write up over on Crackberry about that...

    Post FYI: Ascend XT discounted to $40 at many Walmarts and even $19 at some too

    Note for clarity: carrier level unlocking does NOT affect rooting the phone (other than making it a pita to update). Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

    Post [Guide]Huawei Ascend XT - How to update from any version up to B180 after rooting

    If they weren't on clearance for $40, I couldn't justify it either. Probably can't anyway with moving and all, but still... Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

    Post [Guide]Huawei Ascend XT - How to update from any version up to B180 after rooting

    Doing the "shuffle" ain't real cool. If it were just hitting AT&T and Huawei you might (!) Have the moral high ground . But much as I am no fan of Wally-World, the shuffle costs them money, and so, not cool. Trying to get by to pick up a new H1611 since they supposedly have them on clearance...

    Not too worried about that part myself, since I use GoPhone... but I understand that. Just wish we were the customer and not the merchandise being sold on most of these types of phones... Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

    One just down the street shows 4. I may go get one to have a virgin (and a back up) Thank you very much for the heads up!

    Post B180 Update Arrived

    reloaded 170 full version on and it worked fine. Need to clean it up, as it threw the bloat back on - but didn't lose anything. Unfortunately, between 2 jobs, and moving (working on new house now, move in a couple weeks, then work on old house to sell it) I'm not seeing much time in my future...

    Thread B180 Update Arrived

    ATT sent B180 down... And of course, overnight, my phone tried to update - and is now stuck in a boot loop with TWRP. Yay. Hope everyone else is having a better day.

    Post [Rom][12April] Ascend XT - Bare_Naked Rom B150 / B160

    Since I load all the Blackberry stuff on to mine, and I want as skinny as possible - I'd rather have next to nothing onboard. The only tools I like are the phone manager, the dialer, and the camera (although simpler dialer is growing on me)

    Post B170 update arrived

    Same method as clsa did so far as I can tell. Used supersu and flashed the update app. Since mine has done odd things since it was new with regards to taking updates, I was hoping for something different. Don't have anything much to add, just confirmation that partial updating appears to be a...

    Troll semantics ? Maybe "limping" would be a better description... [emoji12] Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

    Post B170 update arrived

    Just for S'n'G I tried running the update app - got 170 running, but with the same ol' no wifi bug going on. took 5 reboots before it finally took off... even so - no wifi... So, back to 160 I went - stable again. SuperBrolySSJ - that would be really cool if you can get the backup of the...

    Post Ascend XT Source code

    Interesting. H1611 is in there (use search feature). Hoping beyond hope and wish I had more time to do something with it.

    Post B170 update arrived

    I was worried that might be the case - gotta "sacrifice a virgin" each time to get the rest of us updated. Have I mentioned that I hate sloppy code? (looking squarely at you, Huawei and ATT) Thanks for the effort!
