Just curious. I need to factory reset my phone and I want to make sure it's safe if I connect to the internet lol. Good work though
The internet is needed for a brief moment to log into the app. Follow the instructions correctly on the video and you will be fine.

I know the answer is probably posted somewhere else on the fourm (I haven't been on here in a long time), but can i just keep using another disabler (EZ 2.4.1) if that one works? Or is the Alliance's disabler markedly better than EZ? can I install and use both ? It's so great to see all the work and effort put into the Alliance Disabler, and would love to use it too, but if I'd love to know if I'm better off just letting things be with EZ .

Thanks so much. This is awesome. It feels really good every time the message pops up on my 930V Note 7 saying "system update failed".
