AT&T and Verizon are pure evil: They are the only two carriers in the world to lock down their Samsung Galaxy S 4 models. This would generally mean that extensive software modifications would be impossible, but thanks to some amazing developers, that is no longer the case! If you remember, back when the AT&T Galaxy S 4 was released, a man by the… Read more
We recently found out that AT&T has locked the bootloader on the Galaxy S 4, something I can’t forgive them for. But as sucky as the carriers can get, the developers are much more capable. After some people said it might be impossible to unlock without a leak of the keys, the infamous Dan Rosenberg posted this photo on his twitter, showing that he… Read more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CC-hSUR0dyU Before the HTC One was released, there was a big debate going on about whether you could make the HTC logo between the two buttons function as another button with a custom kernel.

Last time we talked about the Verizon Galaxy Note II, it had been bootloader unlocked. However, the method was complex and not tested for safety, so it had not been released to the public. However, today it has, and it isn’t all that hard. Still, do this at your own risk. This will void you warranty and has a big chance of damaging your phone, so only… Read more

You should not worry about… Read more
The HTC HD2 is an absolute legend. Launched with Windows Mobile 6.5 and an absolutely massive screen size (for its time), it was an extremely popular device. However, WM6.5 did not suit people, so they hacked on Android, along with a bunch of proprietary skins. They also got Meego to run on it. And various distros of Linux, and Windows Phone 7, 7.5, and… Read more
Though it’s been quite a while since the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE has been released, it’s been locked down this entire time. It’s a sad existence. However, salvation has come.

Considering how hackable the original Nook Color was, we were hoping that the new Nook HD and HD+ would be bootloader unlocked. Barnes & Noble made a killing on the Color, and many people bought it just to… Read more
When the Galaxy Note 10.1 was released, it had a feature where you can snap two apps side by side. Unfortunately, it only worked with a few specific Samsung apps, nothing more. The Galaxy Note II improved on that with a bigger set of compatible apps, making the feature far more useful. However, you still couldn’t use any app you wanted. But who doubted… Read more
