Any kosher cat s22 sellers here?
Please send a message to dietdroidwp@gmail.com, it’ll be worth your while.

I think this can be done on all phones by dialing a certain combination followed by the number you want it to be forwarded to.
Verizon has such a feature as well. You can activate to forward unanswered/unreachable calls by dialing *71 followed by the new number.

Does FRP also work against a userdata wipe with fastboot?
(If this is considered asking how to break thru a filter lmk…)
It’s categorized as a personal site, which is not an enabled category in your settings. It should be relatively easy to change that
No, but lets keep it at that

is there a way to put a file on a usb that is a Linux ISO (which erases every reboot) that will stay?
Yes
the main point of the question was to know how…

ventoy has its own persistence system that allows for full persistence or you can format the usb to be 2 separate volumes ( i think)
pls explain, dont really know anything about this
I never did it personally but I know people who did

Absolutely — you can make a Linux USB that normally “erases itself every reboot” keep certain files permanently, but you have to use the right method. What you’re describing is the difference between:
- Live USB (non‑persistent) → everything resets on reboot
- Live USB with persistence → changes, files, settings survive reboot
- Full USB installation → behaves like a real installed OS on a drive
Let me break down the options cleanly so you can pick the one that fits what you want.
1. If you want a Live USB that keeps files → use PERSISTENCE
Most Linux ISOs support a “persistent storage” partition.
What this gives you
- You boot the ISO normally
- You can save files, browser bookmarks, settings
- They survive reboot
- The ISO still behaves like a Live environment
How to create one
The easiest tools:
| Tool | OS | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rufus | Windows | Has a “Persistent Storage” slider for Ubuntu-based ISOs |
| Ventoy + persistence plugin | Windows/Linux | Lets you drop multiple ISOs on one USB |
| UNetbootin | Windows/Linux | Older but still works for many distros |
Important
Not all distros support persistence out of the box. Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kali, and Debian do. Fedora does not.
2. If you want everything to stay (like a real OS) → do a FULL INSTALL to USB
This is different from a Live USB.
What this gives you
- Acts like a normal Linux installation
- Updates, apps, files — everything persists
- No “Live ISO limitations”
How to do it
- Boot from a Linux installer ISO
- Choose “Install” (not “Try”)
- Select the USB drive as the installation target
- Install GRUB to the USB drive (not your internal disk)
This turns the USB into a portable Linux system.
Downsides
- Slower on cheap USB sticks
- Requires at least 16–32GB
- Must be careful not to overwrite your internal drive during install
3. If you want the ISO to stay untouched but add files → use a SECOND partition
A Live USB normally has:
- A read‑only ISO partition
- A writable persistence partition (optional)
You can add your own data partition that Linux can mount.
What this gives you
- ISO stays read‑only
- Your files stay forever
- No need for persistence support
How to do it
- Flash the ISO normally
- Use a partition tool (GParted, Windows Disk Management)
- Create a new FAT32 or ext4 partition in the free space
- Store your files there
This works even if the distro doesn’t support persistence.
alternatively, if you have a second usb available just make a temp live usb on it than run the distro installer and select youre main usb when prompted “where would you like to install?” and the main usb will have full persistence, its a lot more straight forward
i dont need full persistance, i just want to have some files that also boot with the live iso
