Long time listener...

First time caller...

:)

Let me start by saying this. I'm a hard-core Windows guy. I have no shame about saying as much. I first became infected by the borg when one of my dads buddies slipped me a three floppy disks on the down low during church one Sunday morning. They were wrapped in a sheet of lined writing paper and bound together with a rubber band.

WFW

3.11

was printed on the wrapping paper in a legacy 36 pica font known as 'black bic scribble'. Along the bottom was a note that said, Big blue who. He whispered, "Give this to your dad."

Dad and I skipped church that night. We went to where he worked and spent about fifteen minutes building out a four node token ring. We spent the other fifteen hours trying to figure out whatever the hell AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, IRQs, MEM and all the other crap. At best... poorly documented. None of the examples worked. Mostly, not documented.

It was Sunday, our only day to play, so we just figured it out. We actually tried calling a few of the numbers. Nada. But then... "Long distance from Florida! I got yellow lights on the card. Yes, flashing. The rig is frozen. When it unfreezes the lights turn solid. Yellow, solid yellow. not red.

Anyhow... Thirty-five years later and it's the same sh1t, just a different toilet.

This is for the MetroPCS SM-A146U. The device is FRP locked. I've accomplished everything thus far by taking advantage of some absolutely horrific programming by the good folks over at T-Mobile.

Everything, I've accomplished thus far has happened exclusively on the device. No PC. No second phone. Nada...

Here's a magical /dev/ dump...

(Due to the fact I'm effectively scratching my ass with my elbow, I must publish this first bit without the aforementioned dump. Update coming very, soon.)

That didn't take but a few minites...

Anyhow. I've got to run out to Target to get a type c USB flash drive. The device also needs a charge full. It seems like by end of day I'll have a real firmware backup with all the goodies that go along with it. This is all with current firmware, etc...

I'll make another update after this with a screen capture. Hopefully... Still haven't whacked the FRP stuff. I'm uncomfortable with that until I understand more how all that works.

Good times.

EDIT: How about that absolute shiet formatting. Ugh. Perhaps some screen caps are in order before the video...
