    Help Question About Online Activation

    I've always called customer service and pounded my way through to a live operator to upgrade/replace a handset, because I'm old and came from a time when using the automated system would reset your plan and rob you. Is this still the case? I tried searching around for a straight answer, but it...

    Root ClockworkMod Based Recovery v6.0.3.7 for Prevail2/Ring

    Hey guys, Koumajutsu here. I have the first build of CWM for our phone. It's nearly complete but quite usable. The only things missing are ADB and I cheated a little in supporting the internal sdcard which may lead to issues if an update.zip wipes /data. EDIT: looks like ADB works in windows...

    Root [ROM][GB 2.3.6]HalfAssRom 2.1 - Stock on EXT4!

    Hey all, Koumajutsu here, I decided that due to KK2.0's release and the fact that it does not play nice with RFS filesystems anymore (who uses them anyways? oh yeah, if you're checking this out, then probably you :) ) that we needed a Stock/Base rom that runs on EXT4. So, with a good bit...

    My wife just got the Transform Ultra, Opened the box, charged the phone up, and changed her mind on it before activating it. Simply put, she only wants her phone to be a phone and it's not worth the extra $5/mo premium for her to have an Android device. Therefore I'm offering it up to the...
