    security patch?

    I'm looking at recommending this phone for a friend that has a dying note 4. Obviously, he's not one to upgrade every year. I'm not as concerned about platform updates, but I am concerned about making sure he would get security patches in a semi reasonable timeframe. Can anyone who's had the...

    How to relock the boot loader and unroot the galaxy nexus.

    Does she have access to a box with fastboot? If not, you can unroot and lock, but you won't be able to go back to stock recovery, unless you can find a flashable zip Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

    [Closed] Win one of two Nexus 5 devices from Android Central!

    I would love to get one of these. I'm attempting to put my money where my mouth is, in regards to Verizon's policies, and this would ease the shift to tmobile dramatically. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

    Continuum won't 'activate' ota for pageplus. (Have incomming txts- but no voice- help...)

    Let me do a little research tonight. Honestly, carrier flashing is something I'm not too up to speed on. I'll see what I can find out, for you.

    Are you still getting the same error, when you attempt to activate? I'd call verizon with the ESN (A00000*********), and make sure it's good. That sounds to me like the phone had been flashed to boost, or some other prepaid carrier. Also, I'm assuming you are in a VERIZON area, and not extended...

    Help from the Android GODS PLEASE!!!

    Also, make sure whichever Rom you are flashing includes a kernel, or flash one in the same recovery session. Do this by opening the zip file (if you are using a browser on your phone, click extract and go to the folder it tells you it was extracted to) and look for a file called boot.img Swyped...
