Was walking around central, hong kong this morning. I decided to pop into "3"'s store (a network carrier) to check out the gsm Moto razer....I then walked over to the gnexus displacy, only to be surprised by a 4 way lock screen that can be found on the EGB ROM
I checked the device to find it rooted running an older version of EGB and Franco's kernel! Surprise surprise I thought to myself~

Lol thats pretty funny most phones on display when i walk into a rogers store I find, (here in Canada) are either off or have like a fake screen taped on the screen.
Question though what was the process of rooting the G1 if you were able to do it without a computer and in the store?

If you were aussie, what you just said would've sounded so bad To root something is aussie slang for having sex with it.
Lets just say when my mates asked me how to root their phones we got some weird looks for other people who heard it

So I just got my Evo, and out the box it already had the Anti-Root OTA Update installed... well she took hers to sprint today since she couldnt get Netflix to work, and they told her there was an update availible to fix that. so she downloaded it on hers and now netflix wirks great for her.
So she comes home, and grabs mine and updates it for me... trying to prove to me that she knows how to do some things... Now my software number is 4.24.651.1... yay... wonder when THIS one is gonna be cracked so i can finally root this thing!
sorry dude the root method isnt availabile yet but devs and unrevoked are workin on it i think they will have root method out by october bro
Leave her...
I believe you can flash the ruu back to 2.2 and root.

You can't be serious?!? Within 6 days people can find a way to root the EVO 3D, but the Gingerbread update that's been out for a month, can't be cracked?
I'm in no situation to get upset, I guess. I don't know a thing about how to do it, but I had to replace my rooted phone due to a cracked casing, and I just received the new one 2 days ago.
I'm missing all the goods....like Synergy.
when they think they know it all, let them do the hard work

Originally the Evo was rooted before it actually launched (thanks toast!). HTC has gotten better locking the Evo down since then.
Does this give you free access to her purse now? LOL
nm....Frustrated with Spint
Tell her that you have made a choice to leave her for your phone. and you want to have great sex with the HDMI port on your phone. lmao!!!!! Cause we all know it is that small since you can't tell her NOT to touch your phone. lol! but then again, girls will be girls. they'll do what they want anyway because they actually think they know what they are doing because some idiot at sprint told her that. lmao. anyway. hahahhahahahahaha. The only reason I root is to use the SO CALL FREAKING 10 DOLLARS a month they are stealing from us. Use as much internet as I can. hahahahahaha
Every one of you who would even joke about your wife the way you are should be ashamed of yourself. As for the OP, you should be kicked hard in the junk for such a disrespectful thread title.

The company I work for is a direct partner with Google. They were in our office today for a quarterly update. While they were here they gave a free unlocked Galaxy Nexus to the client leads of the top 3 (highest ad spend) accounts. Luckily I was one of the 3.
I am coming from the Samsung Galaxy S2. Right now I have to say that I am surprised at how similar the two phones actually are. But I am loving the full ICS experience found on the Nexus.
Anyway, just wanted to share my story. I'm excited to see how the development section for this phone turns out.

You got the GSM version (with original packaging).
Enjoy it! It's a great device.

Are you in the US? If so, I'm surprised they gave you the GSM one. But it's awesome.

Yeah, I live in Denver. It's funny you said that. One of the guys who won one is on Verizon and he tried to activate it with them. Verizon said it wouldn't work on their network. He asked Google if he could swap his unlocked GN for a Verizon GN and they told him they didn't have any with them or at headquarters.

Interesting. I just texted my coworker to get in contact with one of our reps at the Mountain View location to see if they can swap it out. The reps that visited us were 'positive' they didn't have any Verizon version on hand.

Haha I've actually acquired about 10 of them over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, this is my favorite one to date. I have a few black ones and red ones I don't wear if anyone wants them. One medium and the rest are larges.
I actually have a LTE version that I want to swap for a GSM one. I have T-Mobile and signing up for a Verizon plan would cost me over $20 a month extra. PM'ing you. I'm still debating going with Verizon, if only to keep the 32GB of space.
Congrats enjoy Google
Congratulations. I'm jealous.
@sn0warmy
Could you post your build.prop for us so we can see if it differs from the normal UK imported GSM versions?
I was going to take a screen shot but I'm not sure how. So here are some specs, let me know if it's something else you are looking for...
Basband: I9250XXKK1
Kernel: 3.0.1 -ge2433f2
Build Number: ITL41D
So long story short at the beginning of this month i called Verizon because i was having major issues with my Nexus and was able to get them to cough up a brand new one instead of refurbished device and was super excited, got the new phone and began having issues right out of the box. At first i thought it had to do with unlocking and rooting but found out soon enough it was something wrong with the device, i lost count on how many times ive gone back to stock and how many factory resets ive done.
Camera app would crash when i was focusing, zooming, turning flash on off & same with video record. I could only record for about 10 seconds (if that) before getting either a black screen or a beautiful force close screen and to top it off sometimes i would have to battery pull in order to even get the camera back up and running for another 10 seconds.
YouTube i couldnt watch more then 40 to 60 seconds of any video before it would completely just freeze except for the audio. I would force close this app and the audio would just keep going and this was no matter if i was on a call or not i could here the audio in the back round.
Other apps on the phone where behaving the same and today i finally was fed up so i made a trip down to the store and got the whole store involved with attempting to figure out what the hell was going on with it, manager said this is the first device since release that he or his employees have seen with this type of issue. What was even more shocking to him was that it was a brand new device and then he hit me with he couldnt give me another new one but a refurbished one that he could order so i decided to leave the store and come home to spend the last 45min on the phone with a VZW tech and finally i got him and his supervisor to budge, another new device should be here tomorrow and hopefully i wont have any issues with but only time will tell. My point of this post is to not only rant of course and get some feedback from members to see if anyone else out there is having or has had any issues like this??
I also thought about waiting for the supposedly 4.0.4 update to drop tomorrow but honestly at this point with how many factory resets ive done and have been running stock no unlock or root for two days i think its honestly something wrong with this damn phone i got rather then something wrong with permissions or anything like that. Anyhow so much for a short story let me know what you guys think.
Thanks.
Well...that just sounds like terrible, horrible luck...
Should have gotten an iPhone perhaps
the one u have should still be under warranty...send it back

You are lucky that you got a new one. I am receiving my fourth refurbished "like new" Galaxy Nexus from Verizon this week. Every single one I get mutes the audio on the other caller's end, and one of these phones also would drop data when it went to sleep.
I get the feeling that people are turning in their Nexus phones because of the dropping audio problem, and then Verizon is sending them right back out because they can't find the problem in their testing. How in the world could I get 4 straight broken Galaxy Nexuses?
I really don't want to have to switch to a Razr...
Should have gotten the refurbed one, atleast that way a human was working on it, to see if it functions right.

Hello, I bought a used phone from eBay, like the ones on this section, but I want to root it, I'm not sure what would brick this phone, my problem is that when I boot it up, it says it's a US Cellular SCH-R760, same thing with the "about phone" section of the settings.
But, the battery cover says it's a Sprint phone, and taking off the battery reveals a sticker with the model being SPH-D710.
Did somebody root it? I tried using root checker and it said "Negative"
If I were to root it, what phone would I take the files from?
Thank you, and sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Wow... That's a new one. I would try Framaroot so you don't flash the wrong files. Sounds like you got a refurbished phone of some sort, or somebody took the motherboard from the US Cellular and slapped it into a Sprint body. I personally world trust Settings/About Phone over the sticker tho. Which means you'll have to run a converter. Is your phone activated? Do you have a carrier?

You have a us cellular sch-r760. Whoever tou got it from took the motherboard from the uscellular and put it in the sprint version body. I am not sure if flashing files here would hurt the phone. I do know there is a different website for your phone though. Team us cellular has roms and whatnot for your phone. Unsure of the exact web address sorry. Google will help though. Goodluck

And it's still on GB...eek, yeah I don't think anybody but a couple people can help you out. @diceman1000 and @ps3hacker3 might be able to help if I remember right.
The SCH-R760 is the same as the E4GT less the 4G. Thou should be able to glass any E4GT ROMs, AOSP, NOT STOCK? And they should work. You'll have to use Handcent or GoSMS and manually put in your PP APNs in order for MMS to work though.
