    Another optimus elite on sprint's network

    Apparently there's a new MVNO coming to Sprint's network that will be offering the Optimus Elite. They are selling the phone for $200, which is more that is was when it was first released a year ago. And its over 3x the price of the phone at RadioShack and BestBuy. Aside from the phone...

    Root [Verizon] Are there any stock roms available in flashable zips?

    I'm trying to find a stock rom for my galaxy s3. I see some links for some in odin format, but I'd really like to find a zip that can be flashed in CWM. I dont mind if the rom is rooted, but I'd like to avoid any other modifications. Does anybody happen to have a link to such a rom?

    Is there any way to permanently disable the USB "Installer" mode?

    I've got the Verizon Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.1. When I connect the phone to my computer, it always pops up into some stupid "installer" mode for a while before switching to MTP mode. All my computers are Linux, so the installer is 100% useless to me. Using root, I renamed the autorun.iso...

    Root Root apk for L38C

    This is an apk for rooting the L38C, which I'm told is basically the same thing as the L3 E400 and L35C. I didn't see a specific section for the L38C, so I'm putting this here. It uses a bug in the backlight driver to gain root, which affect several models from LG. This apk specifically...

    Root GPS Kernel module for gps without java

    This is a kernel module I whipped up for our phone. It creates a couple virtual files for interacting with the GPS without having to mess with any java. The idea behind this module is so you could make something like those "find my droid" or "androidlost" applications. By interfacing with the...

    Custom boot animation and sound without root

    As the title would suggest, this is an app to allow setting a custom boot animation and mp3 for our phone. It came to be after somebody asked about custom animations in the root section, and I was already working on implementing a filebrowser in c++. I created this little program as something...

    Root Privilidge Escailation exploit in LG's backlight driver

    So yesterday I was messing around with trying to get cm7 working when I ran an innocent shell command and my phone crashed. I tracked the cause back to the driver for the backlight in our LCD screen. While I was looking at it, I saw that the bug I found could actually be used to gain root...

    Root Optimus Elite root with an apk

    It seems that people are having some trouble with rooting this phone. So here's an apk that will hopefully work right from the phone. So that means to fiddling with drivers, adb, compiling software, or any of that fun stuff. So far this has only been used on about 3 phones. Of those 3, all...

    Root Root exploit = easier rooting without having to flash the whole firmware

    This thread is here to offer up a different method for rooting our phone. So far, this is verified working on VM696. I have read the kernel source, and the relevant portion there is dated 2009/2010, so it seems like it should be possible for a few other LG devices, but it is yet untested...

    Root Root this phone without needing MSL (maybe)

    As I understand it, we only need the MSL from our phone to get to the menu to enable the "DIAG" mode (as far as rooting it is concerned). I think I have got us a way to get to that screen now without needing the MSL. I have it working on my device which was already rooted, but I believe it...
