Does anyone know if someone is working on a possible root method for it, I'm dying to root again. Had to get a replacement device and came with the update already on it.
Thanks

They are working on it no ETA but they said they dont need anymore testers so maybe thats a good sign.

So will we still be able to flash custom roms or do we need to be unlocked?

Don't forget you can attain s off with a jtag flash I think it costs $45 bucks, there's a great guy here on XDA that has the equipment and after talking to him I good bit I feel safe sending him my device which is my baby, and I'm very picky especially since I had to drop 7 Benjamins on this phone

Yes, but most people want their phone to be opened up, voiding the warranty and whatnot.

Just flash a kernel and Rom based on the old firmware, and flash the old radios if you are s off.

Since we have the original file, has anyone tried to RUU back/downgrade to the previous version? I feel like this is too obvious and won't work.

Yeap there's safeguards in place to keep people from flashing firmware older than what's currently installed on a locked device.

I offered $20 to the first person to post a working exploit to unlock the bootloader after taking the OTA. Just thought I would repost this offer here. I prob won't monitor both threads. PM me if you posted first and want the cash! Thanks in advance.

You should contact the guy who was offering to s off via the oem jtag method. His price was very reasonable, and a quick turnaround. His thread is titled something along the lines of "S-off for the impatient"
His s off service wasn't much more expensive than the $20 you put up for bounty money.

I have question about using casual to root and unlock bootloader. After a few trys I was able to root but no success in unlocking bootloader. Ive followed the instructions and watched the YouTube video and nothing. My question is did I get bad download or did Verizon pull another fast one? Or is it simply triail and error.

It may be helpful to say any errors or where it's failing. Also what method are you using? Are you sure it's the newest method by Adam? There are a lot of reasons you may be failing.

I just successfully used Adam's method. It works great. Had to reinstall the drivers before it worked, but other than that flawless. Check out pg 65-66 of his thread for more details.
If you find this hard to unlock, thank god you didn't own a thunderbolt that took near a half hour entering command line prmpts to unlock. Or the rezound that you had to short circuit with a wire in a precise time to unlock.
This phone was cake in comparison.

If its legit, then you got a killer deal. The cheapest GN2 that I've seen was $350 but it had a cracked screen. I see some for $200-250, but I am sure those are scams. The next time you buy a Verizon phone, call *611 and verify the ESN status before handing over money or trading phones. A legit seller will not mind at all.

The 2.06 update pops up every time I unlock my phone. I'm walking to the store, I look at my phone and behold its installing the 2.06 update on its own. Well played Verizon. The thought of selling this phone never crossed my mind, but since 2.04 root is priority over 2.06 I'm highly considering it.

It's not about how good stock is or isn't. It's about being able to do what you want.
Go try and use teamviewer or a vnc server. Need root.
How about Wi-Fi tether that doesn't require a screen password. Need root
Titanium backup? Nope... root.
Game cheat engine's... root
So while the stock interface is fine, no unrooted phone can do the above without it.

If you took the time to search there many posts of ppl sending back and getting phones with MDK, also those with new OTA, so like I said, it's a crap shoot and it's 50/50.. Cant hurt to try, though

All roms built off of mdk do this smearing, even AOSP builds. Its very noticeable in the gallery too.
I'm surprised nobody notices it other than me, its the most annoying thing to deal with, makes the gs4 screen look crappy.
