  Excuse my ignorance, I thought we all humans ran the same OS. How did you unlocked your bootloader? Do you have any link to the binaries?
  
  Also, where to I do I find an early ROM, I recently got a baldness bloatware update and haven't been able to remove it.

Since Hanta can remain asymptomatic for six weeks or so, someone who got it in Yosemite could spread it to the mice at the Cheetos factory and not even know it!
