Im one of those guys with a paperweight. During the holidays last year, I ended up with a blocked Fire TV 2 because of a shipping error. No sweat off my back, as Amazon quickly sent the replacement, but still it kills me to have this sexy black box sit around and do nothing. Amazon doesnt want it back, they dont want anybody using it, and I am not ethically questionable haha. I am literally UNABLE to throw this thing away. At the very least I have an extra remote and power converter, but still... you guys know what im talking about.
Anyhow, Im not unfamiliar with small-component electronics and circuitry. I know we will likely never to be able to bypass the registration screen through the software, as ADB has not yet been turned on for USB or network. This leaves me seeking out hardware root methods to install custom recovery and thus custom firmware to bypass registration. But alas, I cannot find any guides on the subject, nor even a simple discussion. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Any discussion with some recent activity involving EMMC or other methods should suffice. If I dont find anything i suppose ill have to delve into this on my own. Deep waters!
A hopeful bump in case somebody hasn't seen this yet, but it looks like I'm on my own here. I'll be diving into hardware rooting and let yall know what happens.
I wish I had an answer by I think I have the same issue. Can't past registration page.
I thought it was from previous owner modifying hosts list. But not sure. I just posted my issue last night and the mention of the device being blacklisted brought my searches to here.
Hopefully someone has conquered this.
(Or at least give me a definite answer and I will cut my loses....
Anybody have Anything I can at least try??
Thanks

Thanks. I sold it to someone who was a programmer and wanted to experiment with it.

Hi all
I tried to look at the major ROMs out there, reading features over features. I can t see anything talking about the USB Host mode recently nerfed on the Sprint version.
I do apologize if someone already pointed out to some ROM fixing this issue, just please reply and let me know.
If noone did it, do we have any hope that ROM cooks are going to take a look into it?
I posted here because the "Android Development" rules say that is not for Q&A, is this the right place to possibly get attention on this subject?
Thank you very much, your job is highly appreciated!
I posted something like this earlier. I'm hoping for the same too. I can't play my emulators on the screen controls. I think it's at the kernel level so someone would have to make a kernel that works with OTG.

he's getting there! i havent used his stuff in a while, but this will definitely bring me back and eventually all the other devs will incorporate this. id get it a week, 2 weeks tops.

Thank you for the update.
It would be nice if someone fix it. This is a very useful feature and is a shame they nerfed on the latest 2.3.4 version.
However, is good "only" if it really works and doesn t break anythng else in the process.
Actually I am a bit skeptic whether "modding" my SGS2 for the simple reason on every ROM I see out there, there are a bunch of bugs involved. Something is fixed with having something else broken.
USB Host would be amazing, but i can live without and i can say there is no reason to me to mess with the original SGS2 OS because this phone just works great out of the box
Why can't DEV'ing for an android be as easy as VB... Its got to go to C and shhtuf... Or even so, I used to make 'theme's' for my Blackberry Bold.... That was way easy... Even theming for ROM's is a lot to read up on... I wish I would have gotten more into Android before my daughter was born.. I am still trying to read up on Themeing using anything but Kitchen.. But it is complicated stuff...
Because I am planning on keeping my SII for a while... Does anyone have any tips for theming? Or know of somewhere I can catch some literature on it?

You should research what root is, before deciding you want it.
You don't really need a "mentor" for this kind of thing. XDA is a wealth of information for the taking. Just take some time to look at the numerous guides, index threads, FAQ threads, and familiarize yourself with the concepts, benefits, risks, etc. Take the time to learn and understand before trying anything. If you feel like you've made a reasonable effort to search and research on your own and still have questions, by all means come back and post those questions for us to answer.

Really nothing that i can think of. Its a useless piece of plastic. Its very much like having an expired credit card, its trash.
Hello guys
I know this sounds very silly... but im in need of help.
I had started my moding/custom rom etc. back in the galaxy S2 days... then moved to S3, S4 and so forth... but currently my finances wont allow me to buy flagship... which is the reason why im posting this.
Recently my phone died...and i went out and got something i could afford (or at least my Credit card could) and got me a huawei y5ii (cun-u29) where there is virtually no info available... and kingroot or other easy methods won't work....
... nevertheless, this is supposed to be a temporary phone for me; but now the question is, what can i get (on the cheap side) that can be easily modified and may/will run a custom ROM (preferably cyanogenmod... or not necesarelly easy, but at least something popular enough.
i'll kindly wait for your replies...
thank you in advance
wow... no replies.
You can find Samsung Galaxy S5 for very good price right now

So I apologize if the title is a little too long but I just wanted to let everybody know if are like me and you wanted to get on the new beta for Android 10 but you don't have an unlocked or way to unlock your phone I am here to tell you that there is indeed a way.
the nice thing is that this does not trip Knox in anyway. It also does not void your warranty so if you are interested and you don't understand some of the posts in the flashing sections or you're too afraid because you don't want to mess anything up let me know.
I would post how to do it on here but I don't want to post something that people have already figured out I was just stating that for me as an autistic guy who had a little bit of trouble understanding the flashing guides I'm telling you that after about six hours of reading and messing with my phone and also having high anxiety because I did not want to screw it up in any sort of way...
The proof is in the screenshots like I said if you want to know how to do it, comments on this post and I will make a YouTube video showing how to do it that way it's easy for anybody to follow.
I also want to add that none of the bugs are present in the build I'm using now... My games seem a lot faster my speech-to-text seems a lot more correct and honestly I'm really glad I tried this...
im not sure i follow... can't anyone do this now without any kind of hacking? i literally just got the s10+ today (us unlocked version). it took me only minutes to register for the beta program and then download the update ota. im on ui2 and android 10 now.

if u need a video to get on 10 then i dunno what to say lol be on the right firmware to start then sideload the updates.. theres literally threads and websites all over the internet at this point
I find it interesting you are willing to post a bunch of paragraphs about what you did but refuse to post how? I've been on these forums a long time and if you can't say how you did it, why would we want to hear you did?
