The BASLQC Wiki is a community-built, comprehensive guidebook to unlocking the full power of our computerized consumer electronic devices.
It aims to consolidate all the information from the forums into one single, easy to read, and up-to-date guide for customized to every device.
Key to this guide is the heavy use of templates to reduce redundancy, device specific guides for the dirty work of rooting, unlocking, and further development, and general guides for modding the OS itself.
This is a community-created analog to the Official XDA Developers Book, but extended to all devices.
