I'd like to leave a warning for anyone working with Uber or Lyft as well, a friend of mine flashed his phone with a custom ROM and couldn't work for a week until I managed to reflash the original ROM on it.

It took a while cause his phone was from a not so well known brand and it took a lot of hours on russian forums to find the stock ROM.

Gotta check before you flash and fuck up a livelihood...

Note that if you are Uber user (idk about driver) their website is good enough; for me it works in Firefox mobile (in "Desktop" mode only). Lyft is app only....

Yes, I was talking about the driver apps. The apps won't work on custom firmware, I know there's some magisk thing you can do but there's reports of account blockages in my country following that method.
