If and when Metro clears out the Connect inventory, which I think will happen soon, we'll see some more business here. Nobody wants to pay 350 for a phone for a phone that you can barely root now, let alone severe lack of development.

 

Yeah as long as vv5 stays locked (not rootable) it's pretty much done with. Sucks cause I only got about 6 good months of use out of this phone and it costed me $400 dollars (which was very hard to scrape up). Pisses me off!

 

All hope is not lost, we need a root god to look into the Masterkey Exploit, see my post here...

 

Yea I saw it and replied....

 

Whats the problem with just flashing to VV3 and rooting, and then going from there? Do we really need to use VV5?

I'm on a rooted VV3 downgraded from a VV5 I just bought yesterday (Bad choice, should've paid a bit more for a better phone - fail)

 

I thought bliss rooted vv5???

 

No, you don't have to use VV5, go ahead and use a ZVx based ROM if you wish, if it will work. There are a few threads about the Metro-T-Mo merger that affected data and some other components of anything Pre-VV5 ROMs. Mostly data not working, but I think that affected only some people in different areas/markets. My Connect was a drink coaster during the whole merger and transition so I'm not fully aware of all that went awry.

 

Holy shyt, yeah bliss and Zandersig rooted 5 LMAO, I totally forgot about that
