Apple's two failed iPhones in 2025

The interest in the iPhone 17 series is high, particularly for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, which are outselling their predecessors. The iPhone Air has a different tale to tell; sales haven't been great, with reports showing low demand and major production cuts.  In contrast to the heavily publicized flop of the iPhone Air, there hasn't been much info on how the iPhone 16e is doing in sales. Early reports suggested it was doing pretty well, but it seems that wasn't up to Apple's standards.  Sales of the iPhone 16e and iPhone Air aren't meeting Apple's expectations, as per info from leaker Fixed Focus Digital (source in Chinese). While no exact figures were shared, the leaker suggests that Apple's effort to launch a popular, budget-friendly iPhone hasn't succeeded. Even with the challenges, Apple is still set to roll out successors for both models. The iPhone 17e is anticipated to launch on time in spring 2026, whereas the iPhone Air ...

How to Jailbreak, Root, TWRP Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605 OTA VRALL4 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

If you have a rooted Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605 before and already received the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA Update build I605VRALL4, then you must also been wondering how to root your device like the way it was before. Samsung and Verizon unleashed the new OTA update that also packed with new bootloader image. This new image targets to patch the unlock bootloader exploit, and once installed on the device it resulted to lock down the bootloader and it's not easy to root the device and install TWRP custom recovery without jailbreaking it first. Using the old method before, will not tend to work with this latest VRALL4 OTA update, but thanks to an Elite Recognized Developer +Adam Outler from +xda-developers now brings you the latest CasualRoot which you can use to jailbreak the Galaxy Note 2.




Wait, Jailbreaking? What the heck, jailbreaking was used for IOS devices only and not for Android.
No kidding here, Adam Outler who made up this thing possible used the word "jailbreak" so that no one would be confused. It's the same thing as unlocking the bootloader.
In addition, the word "unlock" seems now inappropriate to use to unlocking bootloader.  Jailbreaking is the same thing as bootloader unlocking which is still legal, and it doesn't points directly to unlocking a carrier network - which is now no longer legal in the United States under the new rules of DMCA. So, I think Adam just wants it to use the word "jailbreak" to avoid any confusion.


Your device feels empty without Root access, that's because you can't install a huge variety of apps from G-Play that requires root.
So, if you need to root your Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605, you need to use Adam Outler's CASUAL tool. This tool will work on Windows and Linux computers, but sorry for MAC users to no avail.  
CASUAL stands for Cross-platform ADB Scripting, Universal Android Loader. CASUAL jar files are a wrapper for the CASUAL scripting language. CASUAL allows rapid and accurate deployment of hacks and exploits


Just head over to Adam's XDA-developer's original thread and follow the easy method on how to Jailbreak, Root and install TWRP recovery on your Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348
