Here we go.
Download all the above files.
1) Root your device with Root Genius (at time's it might take several attempts so do not give up)
2) as soon as you root, go to the playstore and install super su by chainfire. let super su take over the kingroot because i personaly feel Super Su give's the full root.
3) one's you have super user, open it and make sure its functioning.
4) now install MKT Droid tool and backup your NVRAM for which you got to install Vcom drivers to recognise the device. best OS is Win7 32bit to get things straight. incase if the device is not recognised, reboot your PC and try again.
5) One's MKT Tool recognises the device, install adbd on the mobile. it's a paid version. (you know how to get it)
6) open adbd it's in chinese. tik all the boxes in adbd and close.
7) now click on root button at the bottom of MKT Droid tools. it's initially in yellow color. untill it becomes green, you cannot backup NVRAM (this is your esf and imei which you are going to loose after flashing kitkat rom from different mobile brand)
8)after you succeed backup up the NVRam, you did the toughest job of all time.
9)now flash G750-T00 Rom with flash tools which you are going to find in the last link i've provided. search net how to flash with flash tool.
10) after flashing the base, you will loose the network. first thing you got to do is root your mobile with root genius. then install playstore. google for playstore apk. install playstore, sign in with your gmail id and install adbd again. (if you do not want to install play store you know the black way to do it.) one's you install the adbd, tik the boxes and go to MTK Droid tools to restore the NVRAM. which will bring back your network connections.
11) one's you get the network, flash the 251 base as per the last link provided. this one comes with many goodies like twrp, 3minit battery mode etc. one's you flash this base, go to backup and reset and factory reset your phone to gain access to GPRS. it will fix by itself.
12)reboot into twrp and flash gapps.
Enjoy the Rom. EMUI 3.0 is smooth and changing lockscreen wallpapers will blow your mind. over all the mobile drastically changes from mid-range experience to flasgship experience

there after you can flash any custom roms available on chinese site for T20

Hi @jacktackle, good day!
First of all, excuse me for asking noob questions. I'm new here and I really have limited knowledge about smartphones.
I just wanna ask if this would work on my phone? Will my phone be completely rooted? Because I tried several rooting softwares, and everytime I restart my phone I always lose my root access.
Again, sorry for my noob questions. I would really appreciate your help!

Safestrap for galaxy s5 active g870w telus

G870W Recovery
Hello there!
I've successfully rooted my (Telus) S5 Active / G870WVLU1ANH3 / kltevlactive using CF Auto Root, blowing my knox and all that, works great.
However, I'm now trying to flash either TWRP or CWM Philz for klte (which may have not been to smart come to think about that, but I recall reading it should work just fine) using Odin, and I can't get into recovery. Whenever I attempt to boot into recovery, I end up with "cannot do normal boot".
I recall reading a SafeStrap for G900 works for the G870, but I can't find the thread again, and don't want to just try and see what happens.
I've also tried flashing a recovery using either TWRP app and RomManager, I have yet to try Rashr, but since all the recoveries I've found are for klte, instead of kltevlactive, I'm slightly worried.
I'm not all that new to rooting, but I'm quite new (and upset ) at the Samsung realm, any chance you guys would know what could get me going with a custom recovery?
I also have a Xposed Framework installed, I read it could cause issues with SafeStrap, but I don't suppose it would affect flashing a rom from Odin/whatever else?
My SELinux on the phone claims to be "Enforcing", if that matters, perhaps.
Thanks!

Am I allowed to bump? I have seen the exact same question before and it never was replied. . And I believe it is a good question. Worth an answer.

For installing safestrap you must remove XPOSED. Once installed SS you can reinstall xposed. BUT the only SafeStrap I found is for G900V (Verizon s5) and it has been abbonded in September 2015 as it has a heavy bug. If I was you, i won't look for adventures and flash other phone model's software to my own. And it could be usefull to check if the phone you are going to buy has a permanent locked bootloader when you're interested in modding.

Hey thanks man. Now I'm sure this is gonna a weird question to you but. As for safestrap I've read about out dated versions. But are there different versions for different devices? Could you help me get the right one for my phone or tell me where to download it.

Just like normal custom recoveries the safestrap recoveries also must be fitted for every single Phone. As comparison you can think about a custom recovery that works on every phone with unlocked bootlader. That was great but can never be made real. I already tried to find a matching recovery for your S5 active but haven't found anything suitable yet.

I'm still looking like crazy...
I have seen the at&t version got one also they
Now got a stock firmware and safestrap for them... Have you find anything that can suit our G870W
Im so desperate .

figured out how to flash custom roms to the g870w find a rom for an s5 variant that is snapdragon download it use 7zip to open the archive dont extract it (must get the telus ol1 firmware from android file host first ) once you have the ol1 telus firmware extract it with 7zip to a folder that you can remember now go back to the s5 rom you downloaded earlier look for the boot.img in 7zip and delete it then drag and drop the boot.img from the telus firmware that you downloaded........ On the phone make sure to root with cf auto root and install flashfire from the playstore as its vital for this to work as there is no custom recovery for the g870w now once you edit the custom rom you downloaded to include the telus boot.img drag and drop it to your phone open flash fire on the phone click the little plus button select the wipe fucntion then click the plus button again click the flash zip or ota option and select the modified custom rom you just transfered go back to where it shows the rom name and the wipe option hold on the wipe option and drag it to the spot above the rom name then click flash it will reboot and wipe then start flashing the modified custom rom.......if you want xposed download the sdk21 xposed and put it on your phone once it boots then go to flashfire again select just the flash option and select the xposed file click flash then phone will reboot flash xposed then boot up again...... i know its quiet a few steps but its the easiest way to get a custom rom on the canadian s5 active

Thanks for the detailed information man. I wish I'd find as detailed information about my S6
I'm far from geek and I'm. Totally lost into this forum. And from being Canadian I feel like everything is a little more complicated. I never find anything for Canadian version. Same when I had my s3 any s5 active. Luckily someone pointed me step by step.
So take it as a help call ?.
Cheers

I've been look for a way to use diff ROM on my S5 Active. Mine is from Bell, will your procedure work on my phone?
Thanks.

S5 Active Bell
Hello jayandcourt2,
I followed your instructions but instead of using boot.img from Telus' stock ROM I used the ones from Bell (G870WVLU1BOL1_G870WOYA1BOL1_BMC.zip)
I tired using "PopWiz Edge Plus 5.1.1 for the Galaxy S5 SM-G900X Snapdragon" discussed on XDA Forum
I deleted boot.img on the Pop Wiz ROM and copied the boot.img I extracted from the stock Bell ROM as per your instruction. Ran Flashfire and added
'Wipe' and 'Flash ZIP or OTA' actions (Wipe the first action). After flashing it booted up OK. I went through the initial setup of the Phone, account name, wifi connection... etc.
I don't know if I actually installed the Pop Wiz ROM. It is still using Touch Wiz, and when I flashed the Xposed framework my phone just went into a boot loop.
Just like it would if the ROM is not deodexed. Would you mind giving me the URL's to some of the custom ROM's you have successfully use using the procedures you described?
Update: I re-did the procedure and I noticed during the flashing that I got a message, something like the ROM is for klte device and I have klteactive.
So I guess the custom ROM I have won't work with my G870W.
Thanks mate.

Safestrap has been DEAD for years now. The SM-G870A and V versions have a locked boot-loader, W and T versions are luckier, but not to be used with Bootstrap. All we can do on A & V is to root it via Towelroot and Debloat it. Anything else will just brick it. I have tried everything and since Safestrap isn't developed any more, there is no newer Safestrap that would fit version 4 builds.

Thanks ChingghisKhan,
I don't know if owners of G870W are luckier, I tried to install both Clock Work and TWRP recovery and wasn't successful.
I believe it, like the A & V has a locked bootloader. I recently updated my Android OS to Marshmallow and lost
my root. Apparently rooting Marshmallow requires Systemless root and I haven't found any solution yet. Right now I'd
be happy just to get my root back on Android 6. I might have to just go back to Lollipop until someone find out
a way for a Systemless root on G870W.
Cheers.

Safestrap has been DEAD for years now. The SM-G870A and V versions have a locked boot-loader, W and T versions are luckier, but not to be used with Bootstrap. All we can do on A & V is to root it via Towelroot and Debloat it. Anything else will just brick it. I have tried everything and since Safestrap isn't developed any more, there is no newer Safestrap that would fit version 4 builds.

Root Lenovo S8 A7600 / A7600M Golden Warrior

Note: This Tutorial is for the Lenovo S8 A7600(M) MOBILE Only! Theres a Tablet named the same, dont get confused.
Warning: Your Warranty is void. I am not responsible for any kind of bricks or software failure! Only for MTK6752 ! And not for the same Numbered Tablet. this guide is for the Phone.
The Lenovo S8 7600 Golden Warrior is a very nice phone with some quite good specs. Only cons I could find was that it has none of community and tons of bloatware which is unremovable. Yet!
Lets root it, Guys.
You Need:
Model A7600 Only:
1.The Lenovo Firmware including Chinese TWRP which is provided here by me:
(Thats the only one i could find. If anyone is Brave enough to make an English Version and wants to upload it for this thread fell free to do it.)
Firmware:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3SzZWVElUeXpyekU/view?usp=sharing
English TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3azNMbGcxdXlNSDg/view?usp=sharing
Chinese TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzt5QqUHjbg3TDl2X2FqS21BR00&authuser=0
Model A7600M:
Firmware:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3elY2SzA2S1c2REk/view?usp=sharing
TWRP Recovery(Chinese):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3aXRTMkFSczZoZWM/view?usp=sharing
2.SP Flash Tools. This will be Needed for flashing the Sock Rom Incl. Recovery. Version 5.13xxxx Minimum Requied.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zx5m9mp3x5p413h/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1452.00.zip
3. The Meadiatek Driver(Explains itself i think)
http://d-h.st/1PN
4. The SuperSU.ZIP (Thanks Chainfire, we love you)
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
5.(optional) If you want to use the Google Apps i recommend Downloading the GApps Mini for 5.0 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/gapps-mini-t3089612
Now Lets get Started:
1. Unzip the Driver Package and Run the Exe. After Installation, restart you Computer. If using Windows 8, disable Signaure Driver Enforcement.
2. Turn Off you device. Open the SP Flash Tools Folder and run Flash_tool.exe as Administrator.
3. Now Unzip the VibeUI Firmware Package. In SP Flashtools klick on Scatter Load. Navigate to the VibeUI Folder and choose the MT6752_Android_scatter.txt.
Edt: Some People Including me had Problems with the Scatter File. However, If getting errors, try creating your own scatter file referring this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151251
4. Check if every Downloadfile exept the System is Checked, else you will get an error.
5.IMPORTANT: Go to settings, Download and CHECK the DA DL All with Checksum.
6. Klick on Download.
7. NOW the Tricky Part. Remove the Battery. Insert it again. Now leave the Phone Turned off and plug the USB Cable in, but holding the Volume UP button.
8. If you get a Red Bar and a Yellow followed by some grey in SP Flash tools you have done it right. If the Flash was successfully, you will get a green tick mark as passed.
9. Now unplug USB and take the battery out and pop it in again. Boot the Phone. Dont get shocked if it doesn't boot up fast, it usually takes about 6-8 Minutes. Be Patient!
10. If the Phone Boots up successfully, configure it and Connect it as a MTP Device on the Computer.
11. Now Copy the GApps.zip and the SuperSu.Zip to the Root of the Phone Memory.
12. Boot into Recovery (Holding VOL UP AND DOWN while turning the Phone on) and flash the two Zips. Its in Chinese but you will
only need to flash it once. Flash Zip is the Upper Left Button. Choose your GappsZip and use the Back Button to get to the main Screen. Now flash the SuperSA.zip.
13.Reboot. If you dont know how to just take off the battery ( Its quite risky so better try using the Buttons. The Layout is the same as in the English Version)
Finished!Now your Device is Rooted and got the Gapps on it. Download Titanium Backup and remove the Chinese Crap Bloatware. You are now the Master of your Device. I would be really happy about Donations, since It was very Hard to get Hands on these Roms and Recoverys.
INFO: Some People Complained about the lost IMEI, Thank you Soyer88 for the fix! Sorry that I was away for too long, I got my finals.
Soyer88 said:
For those of you who lost the IMEI address on this phone, or ANY other, here is simple guide witch solved my problem:
1. Download this http://www.4shared.com/file/aNRAdrvgba/sn_gen.html , or search sn_gen.exe (Dont worry, the program is not translated that isn't a problem)
2. In the ??IMEI 1 field write your original imei address (behind the battery)
3. Click on ??MP0B_001?? - It will create a file on your desktop named MP0B_001.
4. Copy the file in your phone, Install Root Explorer, send the file in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ and change the permission of the file (check all boxes)
5. Restart the phone.
Thats it ! This phone is very tricky to flash (or recover) , because of the chipset.. its very rare
I had a lot of problems to fix it, You have to use the right version of Sp flash tool !!!
Here is a russian forum with ALL the custom ROM's (including the official chinese) and support for this phone - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=657464 it helped me a lot!

Hey
Could someone tell me what to do? I flashed a rom and recovery via Sp Tool (not from this guide) on my S8 A7600. It was a custom rom with removed bloatware I found on a Russian site (google translate).
Now I find that my baseband is unknown and no IMEI's either. I didn't notice this in the beginning though, I did root the phone first and cleaned up even further with Titanium Backup, including the default phone and
contact apps.
Don't know if this could have had an impact or not, but my impression is that it has to do with modem driver, which might be a different one (it seems the custom rom was built from chinese rom). Both scatter files (rom and recovery) does not seem to touch the nvram area, although this mtk flashing stuff is completely new to me.
Have any tips? This chipset is new for IMEI repair, so is unsupported from what I gather.

I flashed another rom I found and the IMEI came back, hurray :laugh:
Good to know its not some permanent lame fault the mtk engineers would have missed (unlikely). Well now back to customizing romz, the default lenovo rom is far from what I consider usable.

Actually I think I said that wrong. I am now using this rom: VIBEUI_V2.5_ _USR_ST1524_5.1460.1_1506111858_MP6V3_CU_CN_otafull
This is the latest official stock rom directly from Lenovo. I was referring to one of the rom's that's flashed by those shabby vendors, full of adware, malware and viruses.
I was not aware of this situation as this is my first china phone.
To Op: No I did not use your Rom. I've tried a few others and the *Real* stock ota rom from lenovo was the best for me, also the latest stable build. I found it here btw: lenovo-forums.ru(can't post full link)
Also I'm looking for this: A7600_TWRP2.8.7.0_2015-07-18.7z <--- This is the only recovery I've found that has english language. It was posted on 4pda.ru but link is down. Also seen it on those chinese sites, but requires account to download.

My Suggestion would be: Download and try my Rom and Recovery. Then download SuperSu/.Zip and try to flash it via Chinese TWRP which i am providing. you can locate the buttons from any other TWRP, even from other phones. If done, you could et root uininstaller and remove the crappy bloatware like i did. then install gapps

I already have chinese TWRP, and I'm rooted. The rom I'm using also does not have any insidious bloatware, except a few chinese apps that don't even require root to remove. Besides I seem to remember the system.img file in your rom was corrupt, tried to download several times.
Just saw this at 4pda.ru:
Port of K3 Note VIBE 2.8 1530 A7600 5.1】 【07/15/25
Download: yadi.sk/d/ULLundAAi5dk6

Will upload the File again, sorry to hear that.

where do you download the latest firmware?this phone doesn t have ota?no need to use flash tool if it s the case..you can root it easily with an apk
so i don t understand you manip

Mine was really hard to root, none of Kinroot or any other tool/app worked.

so could you say use what did you use for rooting it?
i just to order one so i would like to erase all chinese apk
are you happy with this phone?

Like I said, the Rom provided here is Pre Rooted and has TWRP included. With twrp you can root any rom, but seems like the file is corrupt so ill have to upload it again as soon as i get home

but the soc is not the same describe in the first page..do you have the same?

New full firmware package available: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YU2xxZ3d4T0V5WjA
VIBEUI_V2.5_1532_5.1797.1_ST_A7600_CU
I got this as ota update yesterday, on official lenovo rom. Btw, this needs to be flashed with stock recovery (rename file as "update.zip")
Actually, you can flash it with TWRP/custom recovery, just tried it
Also, you should flash Gapps after the initial boot and setup, or it may cause problems.
Here is also the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery with English language: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YR0VfSXFPZ0RIZEk
The new firmware is good. So far I've noticed it has solved a big bug with launcher. Previously I could not use widgets with 3rd party launcher (settings fc), now I can.
The launcher bug is still present, but not with Google Now Launcher when flashed with gapps.
PS: Is it ok for me to post this here? Perhaps better to make new thread?

Aosp rom
I found what seems to be a recent AOSP based rom: A7600-ZP-15.08.06.zip
Though only so far seen it on Chinese sites, like this: http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=1393301215&shareid=1110457716&third=0
Don't think I will bother getting account for that, but just letting you know.

Man thank you! If you could download this and pack it in one zip, upload it on your google drive and test it again we could privide yours! Because i sold mine so i cajt test it. Else im still ready to upload it

Just got this same Tab for my son & have been looking around for the best ways to root. It's actually a nice little tablet. For $65 I'm quite impressed.
Couple questions for you if I may.
-Does this download have any prerequisite downloads, surveys or ads before it's installed on my PC? You know, junk & not just the program.
-Which super user app is installed?

Kingo root comes with all the files you need with no surveys or bloatware. It installs its own super user program but I deleted it wit ha system app remover and installed super su from the play store. If you can, after you root your tablet can you pull the stock lenovo launcherHD and upload it to here. I deleted mine and you need it to change the lock screen wallpaper.

hI guys!
Good to see topic about our tab 2. Small question - any1 of you got lolipop update already? Week ago Lenovo said it's ready... I have so annoying touch bug and hope update gonna fix this.

The update is not out yet but lenovo said late summer so I would think it would come out sometime in august. Once it comes out can someone try kingo root on it, I'm not updating if I can't get root.

Lolipop is out, but not in every region yet. Sadly, not in mine too (Poland).
forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets/Lenovo-Tab-2-A7-30GC-Touch-Input-Problem/m-p/2117299/highlight/true#M24873

Well I tired to get a recovery on the tablet but failed. Mtk tool and sb flash didn't work since the tablet is write protected and also I don't think is works for media tek 8 series chips like it does with 6 series chips. I was going to build twrp but you need a unlocked bootloader to flash it and when I run fastboot OEM unlock it returns three dots. I think my fastboot drivers got messed up after I unhard bricked my OnePlus and that's causing it to return 3 dots. I will try another pc and report back.

Nope it still returned the three dots. Well I'm out of ideas to unlock the boot loader. Maybe a more experienced dev can do it or we can ask lenovo nicely.

Bootloader
According to a thread on the lenovo community... the device has a mediatek proceesor, which can be flashed without unlocking anything using their SP flash tool. Only downside is any custom roms would have to be built for mediatek and using a "scatter" file.
Thread: forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets/how-to-unlock-the-Lenovo-A3000-bootloader/m-p/1588718/
Stock Rom: androidxda.com/download-lenovo-stock-rom-models
Flash Instructions: androidxda.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
The rom's source is also available on the Lenovo support site.
Unfortunately, I'm not expert at anything to make anything happen with this information.
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------
Then again, all that may have nothing to do with the A3300, since it's all based on the A3000... but same processor type? doesn't seem like mediatek has any info on their site about it either.

TWPR Success

It was like pulling teeth, but I FINALLY got TWRP running on this tablet. It was EXTRA painful for me because the tool I use asks you to select your device resolution and like a dummy, I actually picked 1024x600 (which is the device's resolution in landscape, but not portrait mode.) When the thing finished installing TWRP and booted up, I was locked out of the tablet because the touch elements for twrp to actually restart or even unlock the device ran off the screen making using them impossible. I had to wait seven hours for the battery to finally die before I could access the thing again, (thanks for skipping the reset button on the a7-30F, Lenovo!)
In a nutshell though, I started with Kingo Root, which was successful, and then used Easy Magic TWRP Installer made specifically for mediatek devices, found on another xda thread. JUST MAKE SURE that when it says "Unable to detect your device resolution" that you choose the highest res below 600x1024 (it was like 546x964 or something like that. I can't remember exactly.) After I had a working TWRP, I switched to chainfire's SuperSU
I hope this helps.

@SpontaneousMixx Nice Adding it to master list

Let me know how it works...
The biggest challenge with installing a ROM methinks though, is that you have to use the SP Flash tool to actually upload a rom. I could be wrong... I haven't tried through TWRP. It took me so long just to fix my screw up that I put it down for a while. The SP Flash Tool needs some kind of Android Scatter file, (probably a Lenovo specific MT8127_Android_Scatter.txt), which I have been unable to find or figure out from the source. I'm just not that talented.
It IS entirely possible that just applying a rom via TWRP will work fine, but it's also likely that the system will bark at you. I'm curious to see what happens.:good:

Usually you can get the scatter file for mediatek device with mkt tools but the option is blocked out when I plug the tablet in. I downloaded the cm source but I ran into my first hiccup when I use cat /proc/mtd to extract the boot.img it won't show any of the partitions.

Yeah, I think the mtk tools app is unable to access the root shell on the device for some reason, keeping it from being able to grab the scatter. I'm not sure why it's not working though. I got SuperSU installed and running on the tab, but that application still fails to get to the root shell.

I can't find any time to work on porting cm to the A7-30; Can anyone else give it a shot.?

I would love to, since I have downloaded the source... unfortunately I don't have the technical know-how to really work on it.

I've got the scatter file

I've got the scatter file...
It was dumped into the 'last_log_r' file from my last update. Then today I downloaded the lollipop OTA and pulled the scatter file from that (this is what I attached here).

Where did you find the stock MS55010R.kdz ? i can't seem to find that anywhere. also where do you find the .dll for the lgup tool?

There's no need to do it the way op did. Download LG Bridge from LG's official site, power up phone into bootloader, flash stock.

They didn't when I reflashed mine. I just did a fresh flash of 6.0, and waited for the update to kick in.

Can you post a link to the DLL and KDZ for LGUP please. I'm sure all of us would be greatly appreciative if you did

Ok Time to break out the Laptop for you guys

After you install LGUP on your PC look in your C: Programs Folder if you have a 64 bit PC you will look in your C: Programs x86 Folder for LG Electronics Folder open it there you will see the LGUP Folder open it until you find the Model Folder there you will place the Common Folder i provided you with in this setup. Now your PC should recognize your phone but first b4 you start the LGUP Program you need to Power off your phone and hold volume up and plug your phone in thus will put your phone into Download Mode. Now you can Start the LGUP Program.
I supplied the .zip with these Installation instructions also
Where you will find the 10r firmware

Please save the update before applying

If anyone can please save the nougat update and put it on your desktop or something before actually applying it so that we can all have nougat instead of waiting for metro to push it? I have tried these steps for the past few days with no avail, and I think it has to do with with the staggering of updates so their server doesn't overload pushing it out to everyone. That would be greatly appreciated

Does this work on 7.0?

As of right now, I just installed Supersu and got root again and am currently setting my phone back up and the 7.0 update appeared. Can I just install the 7.0 update and still have Root or no? If not please let me know what I have to do to keep root. Thank you

you have to be unrooted to take the update

You have to be completely stock and take the 7.0 update, then afterwards you can re-root with ease.

Hello brother . I am a Vietnamese using lg stylo 2 plus home network metro pcs. But I can not use metro pcs in Vietnam. I hope you help unlock the machine to use as international version. thanks so much. : O: O: O: O: O: O: O: O

Look on your phone under a set of Metro PCS apps. There should be one with a key on it called unlock or something like that. Open it up and go through the steps and see if it's allowed to be unlocked by Metro. If that doesn't work then I would try calling Metro and ask them to unlock it. Tell them you're going to Vietnam for a month and need to use your phone. Good luck brother
