Root looking for a virgin admire.

Virgin Admire = no rooting and full bloatware.

alright since im sort of a bit of a perfectionist and ocd-ish lol im lookin for someonw who has just gotten their admire and is willing to install CWM, factory reset their phone and then make a backup(remember you can make a backup before the factory reset so you wont lose a thing;) and then put that virgin backup on here so we can actually have a complete stock backup. yes i know theres is odin but that seems like a pain to me to get that yellow triangle and do all stuff to get rid of it and the one MetroNoob posted has posted is also good but it is missing a few of the bloatware like mailmetro even though it says only myextras is missing. i have used that backup and it has save my skin so i dont mean any disrespect to Metro.

If anyone is willing to do this please post here or pm me.
i have a friend that has the phone and i believe he never rooted it and since he is getting a new phone i can have it or atleast borrow it for a bit. ive already asked him and he said yes but this would take a month cause he is in japan at the moment
 
So, out of curiosity, why are you so adamant on getting the factory rom for this phone? O.o

im a victim of my OCD, i cant help it. things like this bother me knowing that there could be something done about them. i never take it to extremes so its a healthier OCD. im just gonna pursue this until i just cant find any leads.

No virgin phones here. Mines a slut. Sadly no virgin.

everyone seems to have slutty phone here, nothing wrong with that ;) as do i!!
 
Mine's a huge slut, I've put 4 or 5 Monsters in her, and made that bitch run 100MHz faster, 900/900 and she still isn't tired, I'm gonna install ROM Manager to completely **** her up for good ;) hahaha

Just read the sticky on Rom Manager since its not completely compatible with our phone. Use the wrong feature and you can brick the device. So yes, it would completely eff her up for good, lol
 
Let me talk to my sister. She may still have hers. If so I will post the back up file of a completely stock admire.

if she does then just make sure that its not rooted and has all the bloatware. you can get go to the play store and get the android terminal and run it, type in: su ,that if its rooted it will ask for root permission and gives this symbol $. simplest way ive checked for rooting lol
 
She don't know how to do any of this. It is completely stock. Nothing removed. Meant ask her if she has it and if I can borrow it for a night.
 
She has no idea what she just agreed to. Lol...

lmao its not anythings bad is gonna happen from putting CWM in it. and it can easily be removed back to the stock one thanks to spz0. http://androidforums.com/vitality-a...load-stock-recovery-module-cwm-flash-zip.html
it works ive tested it out on mine ;P

i have found this phone to be a good game phone but when there are too many things on the screen at once its becomes lag city. but i can deal it, only thing that im like wtf about is the random reboots, very few on mine though
 
Hey, if you get the full dump, would it, by chance, include the custom binary info from being in download mode?
If you get this thing going, and get a clean phone dump, GOD PLEASE FOR REAL let me know :P

as far as i know to create a system dump requires rooting and that does result in changes in the binary but then again im dont even have any knowledge on that. someone better suited to answer this question is needed, im sure someone here will be happy to answer your question though. patience is key my friend

Never run your phone at 900/900. Bad for your hardware and it will kill your battery so much faster.

Btw there already is a fully stock rom. The stock Odin PDA.
 
no hurries, take as long as you have to mate. no need to feel rushed about it

Hey, OP... I have my hands on a brand spanking new Admire. It's been rooted, sure, but I can remove the root. If you wanna PM the steps necessary, I can take care of this for you by midnight, -5GMT
