No ROM yet. We've all been busy with the holidays. Just some mods that we have posted.

Drwario is correct. The software can't be posted on the forums. However Carret included a guide for it in his Guide.

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

Just got this today about an hour ago.
Did not seem to break root, i'm using LBE privacy guard and it's still running the active protection service. Is there another easier way to test if root is still working?

Purchased a Note 2 off Craigslist... need to Rom it but have questions

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.
Great idea I will try that. Thats why you guys are the best.

Seems like an even trade. Although I feel like the iphone has a better resale.

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.
