Great, looks like we're rolling through our second round of testman fodder. Only 2 more "testman is down" cycles, and we could beat the Dinc thread on that record too.

I just can't win on this board no matter what I say or do. I try to add a little levity to our situation and people hate me. I guess my mom was right... I am unlovable.
seriously? that's where you decided to take this??

My testman shows pictures in the middle just like the normal verizon website.
Mine doesn't

my verizon testman home page is blank, aside from menus. Pardon my ignorance, but what the hell is testman?

I get a blank page, but my vzw.com login credentials don't work there. Do I need to create a separate account for the testman site?

It's a site built by verizon. They periodically make meaningless changes to it, so people here can investigate it.
It's supposedly a test website for their real website. It has provided leaks in the past, but I think Verizon has caught on, and takes it "Off" of the real internet when they're testing new stuff.

You can't log into it. It's non-functioning. It's used as a test page prior to putting things live on the real site. I've tried logging in at verizionwireless.com and then opening up testman and it logs me out.

Hans, try the new ICS build for your Inc2 and let us know how it is
Is it an MIUI?

Some say...
For those getting blank testman sites, see if you get one an a Incognito Window so that you're basically starting fresh. Just curious what everyone is seeing -- not that it indicates an SGN release or anything, but figure that puts us all on the same page with cookies and cache, etc.

The bootloader does not need to be unlocked to gain root access.

And why is OhMyNexus complaining of being unlovable? Did something happen?
(Sorry, I'm actually working right now, can't wade through the pages.)

Yeah, it finally took me to the phone browser page. I don't see the broken image/placeholder for the nexus though...

according to Paul, it does indeed
and i quote:
"Note: If you are using a retail Galaxy Nexus, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device."
[MOD] 30 Nov r3: Superboot - rooting the Galaxy Nexus - xda-developers
what i get from that is that if you have a retail GNex and the bootloader isn't already unlocked, you'll need to unlock it first.

Ahh, I didn't realize we were talking about he GNex specifically, my bad.

yes. no worries, mate
eventually there may be a way to obtain root without unlocking the bootloader, though.
the insecure boot.img is not the best way, imo.
He tried a rick roll and for some it didn't go over well because they are working and can't multitask properly while maintaining a sense of humor and some tried to launch a slapfest.
Just general moodiness from some nothing to worry about.
