[Introductions] Zyraph:
Hello, I am known as Zyraph. I've known of these forums since 2009, when I first started learning about how one can root Android phones, after just getting one. Not even a week after I got my LG Optimus S from a Radioshack (yes, they sold phones on carriers!), I had it rooted, and even started looking at custom ROMs. I absolutely loved that phone.

Then, the Samsung Galaxy S3 launched, and I had to have one. It was the coolest thing ever! And so, I got one, and rooted that as well. Since my carrier was Sprint, and I had gotten mine while at a mall, I got scammed into having five lines open on my account. Sprint took away three of the lines, and left me with two. I eventually stopped paying them, since I couldn't afford it, but I did something during that time that was a huge, huge no-no. I was able to flash a different IMEI in my S3, to match the Optimus S. I had looked up some ways of doing that, and made it work, with a combination of Odin and the power of "I want this phone to work without paying for it."

Luckily, I didn't get in trouble, I just decided not to use Sprint anymore since they wanted $160+ for two phones, and I was making only a little money while in college. Just wasn't worth it. So, I just bought really, really cheap phones for awhile. Had something on Boost, had something on Virgin Mobile. Eventually, I was introduced to Project Fi, and I had to get an LG Nexus 5X. I paid almost $270 for that thing, but boy did I have that thing rooted in only a couple of days!

Then, towards the end of 2018, the Samsung Galaxy S9+ came out. Truthfully, I wanted the Note, but Sprint didn't have any (A friend was getting me a phone and wasn't taking no for an answer). So, I got an S9+, though something was odd. For some reason, I didn't really want to root it. It didn't seem like one I needed to root. Though, since my friend was fronting it, I might've been afraid of somehow screwing it up and then being out all that money. But even after I paid it off and took it to Xfinity (that was a mistake), I didn't root it still.

Then, the Pixel 6 Pro happened. Verizon had it, T-mobile had it, and I HAD to have it. My one mistake with this phone...I got it on Verizon. I got the 512 GB version, but I got it on the one network that refuses to let anyone root a phone, for such an arbitrary reason. It's so frustrating to know that I've spent so much money on this phone and I can't even use it to the fullest. Sure, I have Shizuku and Brevent installed, and I even have Island and IceBox on there for good measure, but...it's really not the same.

Anyway, that is what has kept me as a lurker. What made me join is actually a thread about Onn tablets, of all things. Since I got a couple of them for a very, very cheap price, I wanted to see if I could root them. I can, and there was a thread that had some information about that, but they forgot a couple things (like backing up the boot image) and it kinda got bricked in the process. I'm putting up my contribution by linking the entire update for that tablet directly from Google. Hopefully it will help, but I don't know.

I probably won't be on here posting much, but I thought I'd just share a little something before I disappear, just so that it's somewhere. Have fun!
