[Q] Does anyone know o2's policy on ROMs?

I'm finally sending off my phone to fix the WiFi problem, and I was just wondering whether they'll still fix it with CM10 installed, or will I have to un-root it and go back to stock?
Like I said on Reddit, just RUU back to stock and you should be fine since it's a hardware issue

Haha hello! I was just making double-y sure, didn't realise there was a Q+A for each device on here, thanks again!

[Q] I have a VANILLA Nexus 7. Does anyone need a system dump?

Hey guys. It just came in the mail. its completely stock and unrooted. Im going to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP.
I notice that ALL the stock dumps on the forums are PRE-ROOTED. I was thinking about making a dump, or would that not make a difference?
Please let me know if I should do it. Im a noob at this. how would I do it?
Is it needed?
---
I do know that the official images may or may not be released by google
I was thinking of making a Nanroid backup and posting it. I can install TWRP without rooting. I know how.

...there's definitely a full stock system image out there already, because I know the ones I've been flashing aren't rooted. I don't see why it would hurt to have another copy though.

Is this before or after the update? to test some bugs to check if it is hardware or software issues people have been looking for the very original stock image. NOT JSS15J
So, I unlocked the bootloader, & I let it boot up. However, it didn't ever get past the logo. So I got stuck in a boot loop.
Now I have to restore via ATG method. And yess. This was before the Update.
Sorry guys. I tried..
This tablet has never connected to the internet to get the update...

Thanks. But its kinda all Moot now. Because The ATG will update and pre root it. So it won't actually be pure stock anymore.

Your right they are there but without the factory images. Its near impossible to do anything.

You sure? I've flashed just the radio image in the past on an old HTC Evo. I think there are switches in the commands for adb if I'm not mistaken.
OP, are you having the problem where your data connection turns off if you go from 4G to 3G and back?

no sir i am not,but my speeds for data are really bad at times and i barely get a bar of signal in a real town where we have a verizon building,i just was hoping that maybe the new update had new radios or radio patches that could increase performance.

Possible but I wouldn't count on it.
Are you unable to upgrade to the 4.3 OTA so far away from home?

Where can I find the 4.3 the ota

Stock

OK so I just bought one of these on eBay for a really good price. Already rooted with CM 12 on it. Guy said data doesn't work. Lol....figures...its a CM issue with this phone. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the stock ROM back on this and maybe stock recovery. Not sure if I can activate this unless I'm on stock to go through the activation. Any help is appreciated
Nvm found it.

G965U1 update. Sprint trying to update my bootloader

Not sure if I should update because I'm still hoping for root some day. Should I give up and just download it?
G965U1OYM3ARH7 is the new update. I originally had G965U but was flashed to G965U1 when I learned it gets rid of carrier bloatware, I'm glad I did. I'm on bootloader 2 right now I'm guessing I probably should not update
?
Hey thanks for posting .. I have the same question but I have already updated so hope I'm not screwed for right now lol. I want to download and use that new experimental version of Android p for our device but am pretty sure I need to flash back the the U version (not u1) first. Hopefully I can do that still after the update. Please let me know if you find anything out or have any info on the this for me. Thank you so much I really appreciate it ?

I am in your exact position, Lol. But yes you need to flash back to U from U1 . I'm loving this Android P though. Yes I took the plung and upgraded my bootloader, I don't think root is coming anytime soon if ever. My front camera is working just fine with Android 10 and the dark mode that can't be turned off at the moment, I wouldn't turn it of anyways, Lol.
Help!
I am getting a security message popup on the p firmware. Any idea what size did wrong or how to fix this? Thank you !!
