He means you brick it beyond repair and it becomes "an expensive paper weight." Since a paper weight is a slightly heavy block of some sort to hold down your papers, a useless phone fits in that descriptionn

Can you use similar device kernels or do the same rules apply as roms.

Not really, although that would be repairable, it would boot loop your phone...

Check the apps section. There is a flash apk you can download and install.

Your going to need the 11.x apk of flash now on JB. I believe flash is no longer in the play store. Then you will need a browser that has flash capabilities and turn them on. If you use dolphin it will need a simple edit to get it working

Flash is dropping Android support and Android is moving on. Simple as that. Hopefully html5 catches on (and the Web catches up) pretty quick here
In the mean time I just use the xScope browser found in our Apps/themes section for flash support.
Nope. Its actually Apple suing, claiming Flash violates patents they have on everything in the dictionary that starts with the "Fl" sound. Also being sued are Florida, and scientoligist Tom Cruise. (His middle name is Floyd)

There is an entire forum area dedicated to the N4, why not ask there instead...
I'd say Note 2, removable battery, bigger screen, SD CARD, removable back, S PEN.

If you carefully follow directions, then it's never really scary.
One click root apps are pretty old now, they don't work on newer devices, so you'll probably have to "get your hands a little dirty" of you want to root

Probably, just don't pay too much. I'd say $15 is MAX, really don't want to get ripped off. Also, make sure you have some sort of "warranty" like if they brick it then they owe you a refund and full price of the tablet

The phone has superuser on it already. I downloaded ROM manager to check the recovery and it has CWM and TWRP. Is it safe to install custom roms or is there other steps that I need to take? The baseband is vraljb.... Android version 4.1.1
Thank you in advance.

If you can boot into the custom recovery, you can flash a custom rom.

If you do an insurance job and get another phone. They don't ban your original for weeks. So he could activate it. But it's still on a list to be banned.

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.

I think he was questioning whether there were updates that would prevent him from rooting. Could be wrong.
But I completely understand wanting to be a **** at all opportunities.
My question was poorly worded. If the replacement phone comes with the locked bootloader because of the vrall4 update. Am I going to have the ability to unlock and root it?
Of course I don't like the stock phone, it's awful.
