Hey fellas, I have experience in the homebrew/rooting community for the last 10 years, by no means an expert, by some means; a skript kiddie. first device I rooted was a psp to give you an idea.
Recently got into repairing phones (mostly iphones with some samsung galaxies). Mostly I am here because I would like to use my device how I would like. As I buy my devices in full I don't believe this should even require hacking, yet here I am, as it does.
I'm no coder by any means, but i know just enough to be dangerous. I greatly appreciate the help this forum has provided to me over the course of lurking the last decade.
I'm Dakota, a trans woman located in the Netherlands.
I haven't been around the modding scene for long, since I only got my first smartphone in 2015, but I have enjoyed it a lot since then, currently the proud owner of various android devices including my main driver, Google Pixel 4a. I'm pansexual too and I'm currently in a wonderful relationship

Hi... My names David and I'm 55 and I'm from Kansas City. I came across this site when I was looking to download the FRIJA application to go with my ODIN 3.10.7 application that I've recently downloaded to flash, repair and upgrade several of the Samsung devices that I have (Galaxy A50, J7, Tab 3 & Galaxy Note 10.1). I became interested in development about 2 and a half years ago, after my phones and accounts started being hacked by someone with some very exceptional talents. The attacks caused me to begin learning Android, Windows and Chromium systems, along with the laws that pertain to international data transportation and protection. I have became very interested in these subjects and now I am hoping to continue my learning enough in these fields, and others, that I can eventually work with and develop cybersecurity applications for the new Cryptocurrency markets. I will appreciate any and all the help that anyone is willing to provide me with. I'd like to say that it's nice to meet everyone and thank you. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with everyone more.

Nice intro, welcome to the forums
Hello, community. I joined the community to be able to participate in discussions, ask questions, learn about customizing mobile devices, and suggest about stopping auto play videos on the site. Ok, while that last one is something I did, it is really not my purpose here. Hoping to learn and discuss and explore. Thanks!
P.S. I own or have owned several LG Vxx phones, two Galaxy S2x Ultras, a Nord N10, three Lumia Windows phones, a BB Bold 9000, and several Nokia flip phones. I love to try new things, such as comes with being a part of beta tester teams and insider channels and all that. Cheers!
My name is E-Jay and I am a new member here. I've followed XDA for a few years now. I am avid android user and have become the most knowledgeable out of anyone I know. I am 100% self taught over the last 5 years when I first started to learn of all the awesome things you can do with an Android and I laugh when people claim IOS or Microsoft have better OS or devices because I truly find that a laughable statement. Then I will explain APK mods, the abilities of a rooted device and the ease of doing so compared to IOS and usually stop when I see the person stopped listening at APK and has a unshakable opinion fed to them by InTouch magizine but every once in awhile I will see the spark I must have had when I first started to learn about the OS and I know I have a new friend and student. To you guys I am still light years away from knowing anything but that's why I love this site. Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking on my favorite hobby with everyone here.
Welcome

Yes, some people don't know nothing and think they can resolve their problems with shelling out even more money, instead of reading up
However, at least for apple I have met some very tech savvy people... always makes me wonder why they defend even ****ty apple decisions or ignore them Perhaps some form of Stockholm Syndrome?
What phone(s) do you have then?
Welcome to XDA and enjoy your journey around the forums!

Ok, had to get one of my toys open to my Google account device list to answer that because I collect FRP locked devices I find dirt cheap and bypass the lock, currently signed into my Google is a Samsung Galaxy Note 9, TCL 30XE ,BLU C5L Max, LGE LG K31, Wiko Life 3 Nokia X100 and those are ones I play with. I also have a mess of older ones including Samsung A01, Rooted Galaxy J2 I keep for sentimental reasons along with a Chinese MediaTec Tablet because they were the first device I successfully rooted and first mobile device I successfully rooted and J2 I flashed the original firmware and Android 5 that it still runs because I guess I'm like a car guy who wants his first car all original. My first successful rooted mobile device I wanted all original..lol .I could keep going with at least 7-8 more that have a charge on the battery I could check and tell u but nothing special. I had 2 devices that ran Android 2, the first Android OS to be on a phone but my freaking ex wife decided they were old trash so I threw her out with them...no, I really didn't but was not happy. Have never seen a device lower than android 5 before or since. Got both from my mother who thought I was insane when I got so excited over old phones she was throwing away. I guess everyone has a passion. Somehow mine became android phones. Even I think I'm a little crazy and wish I went to school when I was younger so I'd be more advanced in my knowledge of how the OS actually works and at 42 it is a little late to learn from scratch and start a new career but I enjoy what I do and Android is just a hobby I am passionate about. Thank you for asking, bet you regret it..lol

Apparently I answered multiple times. New to this site and the setup a little different on mobile. More like a blog or a Docs setup. Still don't know how I managed to post the first sentence of my answer 3 times before my entire answer. I apologize if confusing to you, just know it's 10 times more so for me..lol

Yea, sometimes it has it unreproducible quirks. Oh well, we have seen worse, eh
