Giving my iPhone 5 to my mother.
Just got Verizon to give me 2 weeks early upgrade over the phone.
Any case recommendations? I am looking for a slimmest case.

First make sure the s4 box is the mdk model. Absolutely under no circumstance should you allow anyone to give you a me7 model nor let any rep activate your phone at the store. Say your corporation requires you to activate it while in their presence. Just tell'em you work for the government. Better yet say you're an auditor for the irs, no one wants to F with that. If the store doesn't have a me7 model then go to every possible location that sells vzw s4s till you find a mdk model. Alot of people have luck with best buy, I got mine at radio shack. Dont turn your phone on until you have came home and read the thread on rooting mdk or check in here for further instructions.
God speed.

You can install a custom recovery with mdk. But if youre not rooting it doesnt matter which version you get.

That's what I thought. I will defo report once I get it in 2 days.
Damn I thought I made a well thought post lol. Also you could probably make a decent profit by getting a mdk then selling it to someone who has a new me7.
P.S. For future reference, you didn't jailbreak the S3, you just rooted it. Jailbreak is for ios only and is different from root. Some people will rip you a new one for saying that. Imagine giving the answer "the millennium falcon" when asked what ship Capt. Kirk commanded...at comic-con.

It's root-able, just can't install a custom recovery and thus custom ROMs and kernels as of yet. However, a workaround is in the works that will at least allow you to flash custom ROMs that use the TW kernel. Of course, all of this only matters should you decide to root your phone.

As of now I really don't see a reason to root.
Although the thing I like is the app that allows with root to move any app to SD.
But is it worth rooting only for this? I don't know maybe later in few months , maybe in a year

To all the people on this forum much smarter than me - I will give you as much support and information as I can in order to get a working root exploit on this badboy. As of now, zergrush and gingerbreak are aboard the SS Fail. I actually managed to snag the only Galaxy Note for Bell shipped to my city, but can't properly "move in" to the phone until we get root and thus I get Titanium up and running.
Say the word, and I'll provide whatever I can to the cause. It is the same model of phone that AT&T is getting.

I can confirm NFC is operational in the Bell ROM that ships with the device. Funny thing is, nobody is advertising this phone has NFC up here.

Well you can root it, delete stuff, and actually have a pretty decent phone. If you want to flash a custom Rom you are out of luck unless you sell it and buy something else. But this is a great phone with stock rom. Everything works and works well. Take a look at the aosp threads, problems galore. Aroma installer roms only problems. Ok I'll get flamed but I don't care. Stock on the s4 is unbeatable. So don't trash it. Live with probably the best phone on the market now.l

No on the bounty. I have not bypassed the new ME7. I use JTAG to downgrade to MDK from ME7. That's all.

Shoot, being able to downgrade through a JTAG mod, if easy enough, should be more then enough to get people to pay up.

Exactly, I would love to know how to do this, or what to buy to do this, I work as a Technician and could definitely do this, but most of the info online ive found by searching is "send it in to us" "let us unbrick your phone!".

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I am gonna have to close this thread. No offense to anyone here, but there is too much confusion.
Just to make everything clear, I have NOT discovered a fix for the ME7.
Again, this is a free service. Paid-for advertisements are not allowed on XDA. I am doing this as a service to the community and will not ever accept money for it. Continue reading please
Just remember that there are people out there (like the developers that make your ROMs and MODs) that need this more than you and that actually need their devices (immediately) functioning properly to continue development and work on your bootloaders. And requesting my help could possible delay me helping them.
That's not to say that only developer's woukd need a service like this. There are extreme circumstances that I am sure will arise and that have in the past. Just make sure you have a good reason. That's all I ask.
And to the Developers/Contributors/Etc., please DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK. The answer is YES.
I can use JTAG to bring a device to a state where it can then be flashed with the MDK via odin. This is nothing new. JTAG has been around forever. It just takes the S4 to a sort of generic state where any stock odin firmware can be flashed. Whether it be ME7 or some other/future update, it can be done and I have recovered my SCH-I545 from an OTA ME7 update at least 5 times and brought it back to MDK to re-unlock and re-root.
JTAG isn't anything to mess around with or anything that can be learned overnight/a week/a year/etc. Its very dangerous. There are services you can pay for on eBay for recovering bricked devices, but there are very few people that do it. And even fewer than that who know how to do more than just unbrick a device. I myself am at the very bottom of the totem pole I'm regards to JTAG. But, I have unbricking/downgrading any of the S4 variants down to an art. And that's about all I can do really well. I am trying to work on the bootloader also, but it is very difficult stuff that I am learning more about everyday.
I mainly wanted to share this with contributors and developers and anyone else that really really needed their device to be fixed (for a good purpose). Or anyone else that was in need of this kind of help badly.

I don't think he was ripping anyone saying he's "owed anything". Just exhibiting frustration on a locked bootloader. I too had hoped Sammy would not have gone this route, and more development would continue. Those of us on VZW should come to expect this now, as they are nazis with the bootloader. Bootloader unlock is not a selling point for me, but it does make it more fun.

It is frustrating for those of us on ME7 not to have an unlocked bootloader, but I for one am grateful for the options we DO have right now... you can still root and use Xposed to customize to your liking or use Safestrap and flash a decent amount of roms. I will keep waiting patiently for someone to find an exploit, but in the meantime just shut up and enjoy what options we're even lucky enough to have. You picked Verizon, did you really expect freedom?

apparently it is some kind of beast. Knox has it locked down pretty tight from what I hear. like I said, my bulb doesn't shine that bright when it comes to a lot of this stuff. I just try to read and keep myself out of trouble here.
there have been a few guys trying to get a safetystrap thing going. they got it for the Note 3, thanks to a gentleman by the name of Hashcode. he has tried to get it going for the Mega. I am not sure whether he is still working on it or not, I know he had hit a big hurdle and took a break for a bit but it was on the agenda to give it another shot. that was maybe about a month ago or more.
another gentleman by the name of AZPATTERSON has a thread for possible safetystrap in the General section.
you seem to be a guy with the XDA stats and a big brain to possible understand some of it. you should take a look.

I am familair with safestrap and Hashcode. Never had to use safestrap to be honest. I am also familiar with knox. I dont know if it would be possible to remove knox with supersu and a system uninstaller app. I do know knox shows up as a system app. Im betting that knox in the bootloader is not the same as knox as a system app

I dont think there is a way to remove. I think the trick is to leave a small portion of existing OS, with the Knox, tricking it to thinking everything is in tact. Then there is a secondary OS, which we can then play with.
Its probably pretty obvious to you. But I get a chance to sound like I know what I am talking about.

I have removed Knox as a system app from my wifes note 3. It can be done, I just dont know if it would have any effect on the bootloader
Not yet ?

you had to have gotten it by now?????
I actually ended up with a note 2. that way i could continue to use my -03 optimization and sabermod toolchain aokp builds i make for myself
Bummer for me......no bummer for you. Well, congrats on the new phone. I had eyeballed the Note 3, but everything is just so small now.
The battle continues.
Thanx for getting back though.
Have fun
