I don't know exactly the rules for outside links are, so I'll just explain that I flashed an engineering boot image than ran a fairly simple cli command. I than tried to flash a room and bootlooped.

    There is one thing I really hate in life and that is being forced to buy phones from Verizon. For years some phone manufactures have made phones CDMA or GSM specific in the US. Many of these phones were also locked to the carrier and the only way to get a phone that worked on your carrier at...

    In unfortunate news today Lenovo has said that the Unlocked version of the Moto Z slated to release in the fall will only be supported on GSM networks. That is kind of a big blow.

    One thing that Samsung did wrong in my opinion is selling carrier locked phones in the US. I prefer a phone that supports all carrier bands sold directly to the consumer by the manufacturer. Huawei and Motorola are the best examples of this with the Nexus 6P and Moto X Pure. Both of these phones...
