Guys, we're allowed to jailbreak our phones now.

How many of you are going to finally do it now that it's legal?

Quoted By:

It's been "legal" to unlock phones for years now, it's just only recently been applied to tablets and other smart devices as well. That doesn't mean there will be suddenly bootloader unlocks for every device, it still requires a competent dev that gives enough of a shit to make the effort to create and release it, manufacturers and carriers are under no obligation to unlock your shit. They are also still allowed to actively try to prevent it.

never knew it was illegal in the first place. Speaking of, do you /g/uys think I should root my Shield Tablet? Are there any ROMs that have controller/stylus drivers?

Now that it's legal I'm reverting back to stock android

What's the point of doing anything when you aren't breaking any laws?

Is rooting legal? If it isn't, you shouldn't do it, but if it is legal, go for it.

I apologize, I was grouping jailbreaking and rooting together. I have some files backed up from when I replaced my previous model (battery housefire recall). Any tips on what I should flash onto it?
