    Thread system update, fully bricked

    I've been using the stock rom on my phone for years, until after one update my wifi went incredibly choppy, so I tried rooting and LineageOS but experienced lots of other issues, so I reverted to the original stock rom. I've stuck with 6.0 for over a year, unrooted, unspoilt, but I was...

    Thread Can an X96 Mini power a 240gb SSD without additional power source?

The X96 Mini can handle any USB stick I've got without fail, but 2.5" portable HDD's don't work without...

    Thread Receiving and transmitting IR signals via headphone AUX of smartphone.

    Hi. A few weeks ago I bought a 128GB usb 3.0 stick with fairly decent read/write speeds. I put ~60GB of music and I regularly use it while driving to listen to music through the car stereo. Unfortunately, every few minutes (sometimes twice a minute, sometimes not for 10 minutes or so) it'll have...

The next day, I broke it in a incredibly careless way using the command line: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744909 It is now completely unresponsive. Don't question me on that.
