    Any Event users left...?

    I've turned mine back on after not even touching it for eight months. Decided to factory reset it, which unrooted my phone. It was at about 85% left on a charge. Using it mainly for streaming and playing some media, but is ready to act as a phone/notepad if my LG G Stylo croaks. Runs great. Good...

    Root Can rooted Event be brought back to stock?

    I rooted my Event when I bought it, and over the next two months, sudden reboots and bootloop occurrences became more and more prevalent. The only change made to the phone over the period was adding a microSD card and moving a number of apps to the SD card. Now the phone will not boot up into...

    Root Root Problem

    So the other day I installed an app and it didn't request root access, so I dismissed the problem thinking it was a problem with the app. Today I installed the Sixaxis Pair Tool app (an app that had worked previously) and it too did not request root access via superuser. I figured that was a...
