Updating to the Aug 16 nightly put my droid trubo in a boot loop. First time that's happened. Had to reflash Aug 14 nightly from TWRP for it to work again.

hi first of all THANK YOU to the creator of this cheatman i can't tell you how much i appreciate being able to install ubuntu when i thought i would never have it on this device. my problem is with android. i have ubuntu and grub2 installed on 1 boot partition (mmcblk0p3) and the files for...

sorry but why are you even here if you don't miss rooting your phone? i've a rooted droid maxx and root was/is extremely important to me, even more so than an unlocked boot loader.

Thanks, very much appreciated and thanks for this upgrade :) Installed without issue. I watched my network signal strength numbers for a few minutes before and after. It seems reception is very slightly better, at least for this one location I very briefly tested in. I didn't have a good way to...

I'm on 4.2.2, could I install the 4.4.3 radio? Where can I find the 4.2.2 radio (12.15.15) files in case I need to go back? I would also like to know if this patch might improve GPS signal.

Ok I doubt anyone else is as stupid as I am, but if you are, DO NOT DISABLE/FREEZE FUSED LOCATION. Bootlooped my phone. I blame this guy : Of course it's mostly my own fault for interpreting his comment incorrectly but I was frustrated over the weak GPS signal of my new phone...

I love it because it's part of the innovative process. Without that incentive I think, a lot of exploits, no forget computer science, innovation in all industries would be greatly reduced. When Pfizer develops a new drug they say "Hey look, I can create a new drug but I'm not releasing it until...

see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53343231 edit: also Geohot thanked Chainfire and ricky so perhaps some part of [SM-G900*] CF-Auto-Root and [STABLE][UNIVERSAL] Rickys Rom Kitchen/APK&JAR Tools [V 4.0.1][WIN] was utilized

i have a feeling that, legally speaking, you may get into more trouble by taking $ for releasing an exploit than if you just released it as free public knowledge. and i have no idea why it would be illegal im just saying considering his past it's probably wise to be extra cautious. the bounty...

' the exploitable vulnerability not the exploit itself. he didn't have to post any of what he did so im just glad he posted what he did.

But if people have already accepted OTA before now, they are OK, right? Because this exploit is very new so I doubt it would've been fixed before that. The first fix I see for linux was on June 4th and I have no idea how that translates to phone OTAs...

is this for real? oh man i don't care i <3 you guys so god damn much for restoring my hope

Fixed that for ya.

So which part of the stock Verizon S5 hardware do I have to solder/mod to get root? :p http://s-smartphone.com/cell-phones/samsung/dissecting-high-end-smartphone-samsung-galaxy-s5/ "Dissecting high-end smartphone Samsung Galaxy S5" How hard would it be to replace the internal memory (nand...

What is the difference in signal/call quality/reception of plastic E8 vs metal M8? Finding this out is the most important thing for me because my M8 has a weaker signal than past smartphones. If the E8 has better reception, I will be switching .

Good idea. I remember this from back in the day: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/544384-Verizon-Users-Sue-over-Crippled-V710

Thanks tech_head, didn't realize how grim things were... guess I won't be buying an S5 afterall. I will at least be letting Verizon why know, though, and I encourage everyone else to do the same: https://www.change.org/petitions/verizon-grant-galaxy-s5-users-unlocked-bootloader-upon-request...

Awesome, ty

How do I upgrade from OTA Stock JB 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 so I can use the newest roms? Thanks and sorry if this is already answered, I couldn't find it

I've been reaping the benefits of people who hack the phones I just happen to own for many years, and as more and more phone choices become available quicker and quicker it seems like it is harder and harder for me to find stable third party development. So I just wanted to express my extreme...

HI I have safestrap 3.11, eclipse (latest version) on Rom slot 1, and the OTA stock JB 4.1.2 on my Stock slot. Now that I have eclipse on Rom slot 1, can I overwrite my Stock slot with anything, or will that risk bricking my phone? I just don't want the OTA Verizon bloated crap on my phone even...

Thanks, +2!! email removed

Thanks!!!

Yup, same here, I'm just taking as much info in right now as possible. I think our options are eclipse, stock 219 with frozen apps, or ICS. Oh if you use stock at all, I'd recommend upgrading to 219, I think that was a major update, my battery life has just about doubled... then again I only had...

I'm in the same boat as you, safestrap w/eclipse setup and I think I want to just switch to ICS 211 Pretty sure there are 2 methods, one with fastboot, and one with safestrap. Fastboot method (droidforums.net/forum/droid-4-roms/212634-simplified-211-update-guide.html) definitely requires you to...

Probably not my place to butt in here but... I think calling an iPhone a "dumbphone" is much more an opinion about a phone's capabilities than a "childish insult" about your decision to switch to one. His post looks very informative and helpful to me.

Repartition the phone and flash with custom OS and you can use all that space, right?

I just know that puts you on some kind of government list.
