I got this RCA Reno it’s sluggish but in excellent condition, so I’m wondering if I could do any hacking to it to make it more smoothly operable.

      Yeah that is outdated. This is such a bitch. I’ve even tried DroidKit cracked but the dial sequence it says to use to bring up option to factory reset doesn’t actually do that, it brings up test buttons to test the sensors etc.

      I’m so fed up with this constant war the manufacturers wage to retain control of something that customers pay for. It’s now mine and I should be able to do absolutely whatever the fuck I want.

      This is seeming hopeless though.

      I’m just gonna put this thing on eBay because droidkit gives me this 9 page set of instructions that are like 40 steps and the first is to get a file online from within the phone. Uh, HELLO I’m locked out that’s why this entire endeavor. I think it’s just a con to get payment but good thing I got cracked version. I’m so exhausted trying this bullshit.
