Well, I guess you can never tell ...

I'd all-but retired my venerable N905B Touch, because it had started repeatedly freezing on me. I'd tried complete resets, and rolling back to firmware like 2.6.1, and even 1.8.1, but it still kept locking up. I had no idea what the cause was, nor how to fix it.

So, I thought, nothing to lose. I tried sideloading the Mark 3 edition of 4.3.8842, and -- I hope the Digital Gods aren't listening! -- so far, not a single lock-up. No hacks or patches, but to date it works fine. Huh! ;-)

(I've just doomed myself saying that, haven't I? ...)
