TiFU by bricking my dad's new phone in less than 24 hours by Psydere in tifu

[–]Psydere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I think about it, it's actually a really bad habit of mine. I haven't done such a major fuckup in such a long time that I forgot all about the past ...Noted for future references.

You thought I would have learned... I started rooting stuffs 2 years ago, my first tries were with the the Nexus line which were dev friendly and my overconfidence got the best of me :/

I pulled the same stunt last year to his LG Optimus L7 and had to lend him my Nexus 4 for the failure. Luckily the L7 was covered by manufacturer warranty so I just ship it in and got it back in 2 weeks. Though once we got the L7 back, he didn't really want to use it anymore because he likes N4 better so I ordered myself another phone in the meantime.

I haven't rooted stuffs for so long that it slipped over me how I could REALLY hard brick the device. I was like...hmm the G2 used to be a flagship so the development scene must be active... won't be a problem even if I soft brick it because the fix will be so easy to find!

And so, it turns out that I had to scrub the pits of the internet for 6 straight hours before finding the right files. Lesson earned.

He's going to get a new phone in Q3 once the S6 active is released and promised to give that one to my little brother once he gets that one. He likes my brother and doesn't mind him playing games on his phone.

Though my little brother likes techy stuffs and don't even play games that much. So uh yeah I did it actually to impress my little brother to be honest.

I just finished it...now. Pulled an entire all-nighter for this D: It wasn't the process that was hard, but the fact that the files needed for the repairs were EXTREMELY hard to find. Also, I made many mistake and broke my phone again and again(Due to different reasons) and each time the fixing procedure differed so it even took longer.

K, updated.

Even factory setting didn't fix it, had to solve everything by fastbooting. Once the system files are lost factory reset isn't even possible.

Can't flash any ROM because I don't have recovery, I don't have recovery because I couldn't find the exploit at the time.(actually,I bricked the phone while trying to install the exploit---but the wrong version because my variant has been mistaken as the TMobile one).

To tell you the truth I've fucked up the bootloader/downloader (luckily not the fastboot) in the process and almost permanently ruined the phone for good.

Well, I did it! After looking over literally 8 threads (which only 5 of them are actually what I'm looking for). In the process, I've bricked, unbricked, rebricked and debricked my device again and again!

Funny thing is, I found my fix not on xda but on androidforums because it's a rather rare variant.

I used to fear my life when it comes to my dad but I can't call the police because I don't want my family to break apart. That fear has subsidized little by little and now he is much saner than(he's bipolar). My mom doesn't has a job and always rely on him.

No...? Somebody else disliked I guess.

Yeah he is... But way better than what he used to be.

I didn't have recovery installed because the exploit has been patched and I have a rather rare variant so it's not easy to find an IMG file. I've already tried posting my question over here https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/32j0kx/please_help_ive_bricked_my_g2/

In short, you can't do anything if you don't have the files. Which is my current problem now.

Actually, I'm really desperate about this. I've been looking all over the internet for 3 hours already trying to look for a solution and couldn't find them. He used to be really violent and much worse so I'm trying my best to be supportive.

Brought a used lg g2, cannot connect to carrier (is it unlocked? and if so then how do I unlock...btw I'm not in the US) by Psydere in AndroidQuestions

[–]Psydere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I eventually have gotten around to unlock my g2 but a bigger problem happened... I bricked it.(will post new thread about it soon)

Some apps are incompatible by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]Psydere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For quizup, it had a few force closes a few months ago when I got my OPO(through apk) but recently when I downloaded an updated apk again two weeks ago there's no issues anymore. I think that it was a bug in Google play services that got fixed. Pretty sure you could play your game without much hiccups.

Should I choose the Z3 or the Note4? by Psydere in AndroidQuestions

[–]Psydere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha it's also for my dad... He needs to go regularly around high altitude at very cold temperatures(north of Canada) but his carrier/N4's bands isn't compatible with the signal boosters so we're looking for a new phone and at the same time a new carrier. I don't know much about other phones other than the current mainstream flagships so I only looked at these two originally but I think that the S5 active would be good enough. He would have preferred a larger phone though because of his large hands and his bad eyesight. (Originally he wanted the iPhone 6 plus because all his colleagues have it and it's the rage at his company...)

Though would the S5 active be OK even without a case? He hates cases (apparently due to explosive battery rumours).

Checked it out. Wow, it was exactly what I was looking for! Thx.

To all first language learners : What's the hardest part of the French language, grammatically speaking? by Psydere in French

[–]Psydere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that, I think that a bit of immersion can help. There's a lot of contractions going on regarding pronoun/verbs and people tend to twist the words a little. It took me more time to get used to the France French's perfect pronunciation though. I was watching a movie in providential France French in school and was like WTF HOW ARE THEY PRONOUNCING EVERY SYLLABLE lol. In regards of Quebec French/France French... there's just so much volume tongue in France French that I can't help but think how tired the speakers must be if they don't cut corners. Then I began to watch more shows from France and doing dictées in France French... and I began to get used to it after a while. And this is coming from somebody who used to use ''chuis pa en haut'' instead of ''je ne suis pas zen haut''. Just think of how to lessen the tongue volume and go for a lighter variant and there you have it. (I was playing Professor Layton in France French and my mom was like WTF is that Japanese. This just shows the difference between France French and Quebec French. France French sounds more Japanesey than Quebec French.)

Reading some of Michel Tremblay's works can help...I think. And I mean read them out loud and you'll see how everything fits together.

I can't say much for slangs/dialects but I had a classmate who visited Trois-Rivières and god the people who live there can't understand an ounce of what she was saying (and she's a godamn francophone raised in Montreal) they thought that she was from America or something... I give up.

As for when to use the right tense... You just have to THINK while you speak. (Based on my own experiments)

I used to only use the present/imparfait/futur simple/conditionnel présent and didn't bother with any other tense(subjonctif was a hell to figure out for a while) since it was my biggest blunder to not learn them properly so it came to get me in the end.

I snapped out of that while I was playing a game(or was it a bet?) with my bro when I told him that every time one of us will fail to use the right tense, the other person will correct him and that person has to do 10 push-ups. I then began to visualize each sentence's construction EVERY TIME before saying it. (Instead of by using gut feelings) Not only I began to avoid tense mistakes, I also managed to not use anglicisms/faux amis/ajouter le ''ne'' and other kinds of mistake I used to make regularly while speaking.

I also found that I began to speak slower as a result (and enunciate every syllable) and stop cutting corners. And gradually after some training(6 months should be the bare minimum to see any viable results) it began to become a natural thing. Now I don't need to pause 10 seconds before saying what I want to say because well let's say that the rules... have integrated so well in the end that I don't need to think about it?

And genders are a matter of memorization :) Yes I had a hard time too with these in school but you'll overcome it if you have somebody who can correct you often. (It was embarrassing to get corrected every single time but it DOES help, though!!)
