What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

        Yeah, installing a new OS on a phone isn’t something you do easily like on a PC.

        You have to unlock the bootloader, which requires an unlock code from the manufacturer, then you have to factory reset it, and that’s even if your phone/carrier allows it. Many don’t (which is why it’s so hard for me to replace my phone…grrr).

        So yeah, installing a new OS on your phone is typically going to require quite a bit of effort and some level of commitment as well as a device that’s bootloader unlockable and supported by an alternate OS (each device and model requires a custom build).

        It’s…a whole thing. It really shouldn’t be, but it is :(

          I haven’t done it in a while, but it kinda depends on the phone, some were very easy to flash in the earlier days of Android.

        Maybe, but it’s not worth it just for a few days, which is all I’ll need it for. I just forked over $15 for another 10 gb.
