Hey there! I'm krassygnoll and I've been lurking for a little over a decade. As someone who tends to stay pretty private, I try to not make too much noise online. With that said, after attending some cybersec conferences and working in the business world it came to my attention that I need to socialize a bit more. So, after reading up on how to root my old kindle 3rd gen, I realized I needed to finally make an account to get the right tooling.
In high school iPhones were starting to get popular as well as phones like the original RAZR or Juke. I learned about this site from friends of mine who were trying real hard to theme their phones and brag about free apps they found. I instead spent my time breaking Windows and learning Ubuntu. As a tech enthusiast I tend to get excited and hack on or break anything new that I get my hands on, which lends well to my current goal of developing more secure IOT products (because most are terrible).
With that said, I have a rooted LG V30 I use as my daily driver, but it is starting to get long in the tooth. Looking at the f(x)tec Pro 1-X for a replacement, but trying to hold off for now. I've rooted some Shield TV's, an HTC Desire Eye (old phone), and some other basic phones for friends and family. I couldn't have done any of it without this forum, so thank you all so much.
With all that said, I'm happy to be here and will try to stay out in the sun instead of retreating back under my bridge.
I think I lurked XDA for 3 years before finally joining in on the conversation. Welcome!
I'm just starting to learn about this sub-culture of smartphone modders. I started out with rotary dial phones a long time ago and I always dreamed of having a portable computer that you can carry around in your pocket and now we have smartphones. All my google searches led me to this website and the amazing gurus who develop and help regular people here. This is what technology is all about and it should be for everyone.
Looking forward to interacting with some of you and learning new tricks.
Best regards.

Thank you @orb_selektor - very kind of you to write.
Hey Everyone! I've been an avid enthusiast for sometime now and finally decided to make an account lol. I enjoy alot of RF TX/RX at the moment but I'm kind of all over the place with electronics. I've been looking to get more into getting root control of my Android devices us cmd prompt of Linux terminal. Preferably to incorporate into some cord cutting diy homemade sdr projects. If your not lost by by now lets collaborate lol

Hello and welcome aboard!
I'm 40 year's old and was incarcerated throughout my 20s and 30s I came home to a different world one that I enjoy most at home on my laptop learning. I enjoy learning commands and exploits for any and all systems especially the ones pertaining to my devices. I currently am working on rooting a wingtech revvl+ and a few other devices. Any one who has successfully installed a custom recovery on the tmrvl4g_0.05.27 or any variant of tmrvl4g 5g let me know. Thanks
I need to stock firmware
REVVL V
WINGTECH

I didn't find anything can you help me find it stock firmware
Welcome, good sir, and glad to have you back in the world... <smile>
I got tired of Boost's nonsense (being forced to upgrade to a 5g phone, allegedly free, but actually about 250 bucks in all), and went to T-Mobile. Since they were cheap and I needed 3 of them, and, with all the upgrades to 5g, likely needed to offload a few traincars of them, we got 3 TMRVL4G devices...
Since it's Wingtech, which really isn't one of the biggies, but, as I've been on this venue all these years, through many devices, I'm always willing to be a guinea pig... My coding chops are decades old, and really revolve around Delphi, CodeTyphon, and old XBase stuff... Never learned C++ nor really much .java, so coding for Android is, while interesting to me, and I can generally read and follow others' work, just the syntax and symbology are difficult for me. (What can I say? Turned 65 this past Valentine's Day, and it shows at the damnedest times... <grin>)
But, should you happen across any recent information regarding any work on rooting this device, or, at the least, enabling the app-to-SD functionality which is available for every other device I've ever owned, I'd be most grateful. Add to that, I've got plenty of legit Play Store-approved apps for which I've paid real money, but can't use as they each require root access... It's not that I disapprove the companies' making admin access difficult (hey, I've boneheaded enough over the years, but give me a way to get back to default and I'm good... I also have a modest collection of paperweights where, "Sorry, dude... you're hosed..." LOL)...
It's that they each try to out-do each other in how impossible they can make it for even experienced users, but without access to their tech-support frame, to actually use these things as they're capable... I mean, ****... a quad-core device, fast as hell, and storage out the wazoo for most users. Not me, mind you, as, were some functionality enabled, this beastie would be a quick laptop replacement, with the Bluetooth keyboard which also seems to not talk to it.
Again, good sir, welcome, and welcome back!

Hello my name is Loulou and I'm from New Orleans,La. I've been out here in Georgia for 16 years doing time. Upside about that is 4 more to go and I will be flying like most folks. I'm 36 ,male, and very studious, my mind travels a lot when I get my hand on something new. I have a phone and two tablets I'm learning to operate and goal is to master them. I'm here on the site to gain knowledge get wisdom and understanding in the deeper things that involve these devices. I wish to share what I know in whatever way to connect to anyone that needs help and likewise I wish to connect to those who can help me on my journey. Ps. On step at a time
