Long time lurker...leecher. - Introductions

Been creeping XDA for years for a bit of this and that. I wanted to say thanks even though you had no idea I was there. I'm at a situation where I'm going to actually need some specific help...or just get completely shut down. I need to do some research first before I potentially tick of the admins and the black SUV's roll up in my driveway. If you never see another post from me that's probably what went down. If that's the case....sayonara BONZAI!!!!

Are you joking? lol You could...search the forums?

There are several more, but try these...

I've tried the D-Pad tweak many times...doesn't fit it like it did for everybody else
Then why not ask in one of those threads, rather than creating a new one, to spam us all with?
You've been around long enough to know that we hate redundant threads.
B/c it may be a kaiser problem and none of those threads where made in the kaiser section.

Wow dude, you're a loser. Big deal, I made a mistake. Do you really have nothing better to do than argue with a 19 year old about posting a thread that has been posted in the past? Get a life you tool.

I'm dying to say something right now that would completely shut you up, but it will just keep this thread into a battleground. So I'll keep my mouth shut.

Uhh, I consider that a feature. It's called being able to easily navigate thru wemails & accounts without having to touch the tiny folder drop down when one handed.
It also switches between accounts if you're in the account main page.
BTW, until you have a tenth of the helpful posts & tools created & explained by Alex, I'd shut your F'ing Cannoli hole.

Oh I know what you're thinking, but you're absolutely wrong
Before signing on here, I've just finished 5 years as an IT Manager/ interim Director, where I built 3 datacenters. I've decided that 5 years was enough for me, and I'm now on sabbatical.
I've been with my fiancee for 7 years and I *CHOOSE* to spend my time helping others on this forum.
edit - That's the reason why I take no offense to your posts as everyone is in a different stage within their life and each of those stages has a completely different outlook. I also remember when I was 19 and living in NYC, and I probably would have responded just like you back then
Oh no! Now the tag team is here. You guys do realize your arguing with a kid right?
you also realize that this tread is being watched i guess what ? WE BAN CHILDREN TO! THAT IS if they misbehave
seriously calm down, or as you signature says;

Ok well since you guys won't help him I will.
The quickest way to root your G1: First you need a car battery and some jumper cables. Take your USB cable and splice into it, wire it to the positive jumper cable, now ground the other end onto a metal surface. Next thing is to press the power+camera+home+menu+back buttons as fast as you can, while doing so start humming the theme to MASH and have a friend tickle the battery cover of your G1. Do that for a good 17 minutes. Now unhook everything and rub one out, then wipe the ejaculate onto your screen and try making a smiley face. Last step, and most important......kill a cat while your power the phone on, not a kitten though and preferably a black cat as they work the best.
If you did it all right you will now have superhuman capabilities and your mother will cry when she sleeps at night.
Wow, that exactly how I rooted mine but I failed the first time cause I used a kitten, maybe you should write the guide codani, you might make a better one than me, don't forget to reserve the first 3 posts for the future

LOL. Good write up. Can we get pictures or a youtube video.
Yes a youtube video would make it a lot easier for all the noobs to follow
i used a small child to root my phone does that mean i will lose my root when i flash a rom
and now some advice for the OP. do NOT root your phone. you have no clue what you are doing and i do not want to see a thread 2 days from now that says "help i think i bricked my phone" with your name under it. honestly...
and reverend would be a glorious name. kind of like the reverend gridlock32404 jackson
Actually I had a youtube tutorial before but I had to remove it becase the ASPCA was sending me death threats.
damn I thought this one had great potential.
It does have great potential, and david thanks for finally chiming in, good to hear from you, I forgot to throw jackson in the name there, I am still waiting for help with my guide

[Q] Might have screwed my HTC One

Hi guys, I might have messed up my HTC One and would like to see if anyone has any insights. The phone originally has TWRP installed. I then download ROM Manager and install CWM on it. I restarted the phone and now it can no longer power back on. Is there anyway to save the phone?
Please give more info!
Let me just twirl the mists of my magical orb of all seeing to see what went wrong. Oh, yep, here it is, you were dropped on your head as a baby. Erm, guess this thing isn't working quite right or something. Please give us more information.
In all seriousness though you clearly have no idea what the hell you're doing, so I recommend you stop messing around go learn about this stuff and watch this video.

I'm not trying to get at you...but there's a whole lotta threads started on the same exact issue with people who tried to do things who had no idea what the hell they were doing...and the solution is quite simple more often then not

Oh please benevolent Android gods rain down your furious Android justice upon this unworthy Android user before he bricks his phone for real (if he hasn't already). Listen OP, you've given no information, nobody knows what the hell you've done, and then you are hostile when I try and communicate the worthlessness of the information in your original post. There are a dozens of lazy entitled idiots like yourself who post the same rubbish on these forums everyday so before you start telling me, when all I'm doing is trying to help you, to keep my trap shut, I'd consider the facts that you're the ones who knows bugger all, you're the one who's phone isn't working, you're the one who needs helps and I, out of the generousness of my humanitarian compassionate soul, am trying to help you. Why do you think you have barely any replies? Because most members can smell a post like this a mile off and don't even bother, so I recommend you calm down, tell us exactly what you did and pray you that whatever you did wasn't as stupid as I currently think you are.

listen postfatal I don't know what kind of help have you offered. Since the only thing you did is to mock. If you think I should've done a search first then just tell me. There's no need to write a whole godamn essay. Use that kind of attitude and see how fast you can last in a job.
Btw, thanks to all those who did suggest something and refrained from sarcasm. I've figured out what happened and the phone is back up and running.

Was your home and back button flashing when you tried to do power and volume down at first? First time I saw that I thought something was def broke and maybe getting a phone with a non removable battery was a bad idea but than read on here just keep pressing and it will go to bootloader. Catastrophe avoided!

possible exploit

I remember some else sayin g this in another thread but can't remember which one. But any way I was trying art out but my battery was gettin g creamed with it so I switched back to dalvik during reboot my bootloader screen had a unlock logo along with it saying custom underneath the unlock logo.
Could we exploiting this. I'm not home or anywhere near a computer to try. But I was thinking if we can enter recover right after rebooting back to dalvik it may let us flash?
Just an idea, I hope this can lead to something.

lol i noticed people in this forum are on edge when it comes to root. i just got my phone this weekend so im still making my way through the forum. i just noticed something and wanted to throw it out there. ive been in the android community for a long time now and if you guys have been here as long as i, should know sometimes it could be the simplest things that could be a break through.
just trying to help.
i really dont care for root as much as others, coming from an m7 im happy with the upgrade.
Been posted many times, unfortunately it's nothing but a mere custom logo with no hopes of anything.. thanks for trying though.

Need to unlock your SIM T-Mobile users? Here's how!

FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.
I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.

That's my favorite part about all of this! She doesn't try to pressure you into any donations or payment! It's fantastic honestly. Now I have to wait either for the token, or for the msm tool to be cracked for tmo conversion.

She is wonder I didn't need mine unlock but she was willing to do if needed ?
Not that I wouldn't want to do this as I prefer root on any device I have, but as someone who used to work for tmo if she gets caught she could definitely lose her job. I agree with the others you should probably take down the post

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5. All I've ever had to do was call customer care. Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key
I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

just did mine, literally look an hour.
Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
