Today I woke up and learned that my phone wouldn't charge! I took it into the local Verizon store and I was lucky enough to get a new phone on the spot for free! best news? I had stupidly upgraded to 4.3 and lost root on my old phone. The new phone was still on 4.2! It's like I got a free downgrade! Now I can and will root and upgrade. How cool is that?

Bah! Much hate! So envy. Such downgrade. Wow.
I'd do a lot to get back root and TWRP like I had when I first got my S4. Lucky!

I'm not sure why you ever thought taking an OTA was a good idea.
The whole point of this phone was to take control of it before the bootloader was inevitably relocked. Remember the delay of the Loki release for AT&T so that Verizon wouldn't close it? That should have made future developments obvious to everyone.
MDK forever.
My phone was me7, then my daughter happened to get a hold of it..... Well my replacement came with mj7 as most people in this thread. Why does everyone think we're dumb enough to take an update? Only tards update without checking. Sorry, I'm not pointing this at anyone, just throwing a mini tantrum.

No, you're absolutely right. I'm kicking myself, quite hard. I got suckered in by native App-to-SD support when I could have just flashed a decent ROM. I had the tools, but I was a [email protected]$$.

Lol, new features in some OTAs can be rather tempting. I learned to patiently wait for rooted OTAs to be made available since I got the original evo in 2010. I've been tempted a few times though. OTAs on Sprint were never as risky as these on Verizon. These folks are serious about locking down our phones!

No you can on me7 and ml1 as well (not sure on the newest mj7). Mdk is just the only one with a boot loader work around

I don't care about getting around the bootloader because I'm staying stock as I don't feel the need to get anything else at the moment. I would overclock and lower the voltage very carefully. I want more battery life as my main goal and speed as my secondary goal.

My rezound is going wonky and in need of a new phone. Question is should I get the DNA or hold off and see if Verizon get the HTC one? If I get it, it will be as a 2nd line.. should I get it and also wait til Nov for my normal upgrade and get whatever new phone comes out near x-mas?

I don't believe they are getting the one. The DNA is the best your going to get at the moment. Unless you wait for the gs4 that comes next month. Verizon is also supposedly getting the Motorola x this June. But the DNA is $49 with a new contract right now.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
If you like custom Roms and kernels and such I would not recommend it. There's nothing wrong with the dev community but if you buy it now you won't be able to unlock etc unless you send the phone off.
I would wait for the gs4 personally.

The latest ota has not been cracked yet and as of now it looks very unlikely.
I'm currently just waiting to see what happens until the GS4 is released.
If we get a fully functional CM10 on the DNA I'll be perfectly happy but who knows.

Do you really want to play the "maybe i'll wait just a few more months for this newer phone to come out" game?
I'm sure the GS4, and HTC One are great, but DNA seems just as impressive ( based on video reviews of all ). Once Verizon releases sense 5 for it being rooted won't make a difference.
Rezound to DNA was an amazing upgrade, so much more battery life, NO HICCUPS, and an even more gorgeous screen that can be on for 4-5 hours compared to 1 hour, lets not forget 24/7 4G without battery drain.

Is it worth the money at this time? Or wait for something better? ..

Just be prepared to jtag it.
DNA is a great device, I switched between this and my GS3 before I sold it and was extremely happy to come back to the DNA. Root would have been a deal breaker for me but since I unlocked and rooted before I took the OTA updates I was able to root again on the newest update. HTC has also always always (I don't care what anyone tells you) had better overall reception and not just with service and 4G but with WiFi Bluetooth too. My GS3 sucked when it came to getting strong signal and I doubt the GS4 will be any better with it, Samsung has always lacked in that department.

Just because the people who are working on it aren't posting public updates on what theyre doing doesn't mean it isn't being worked on, and by some pretty damn talented people might I add. Anythings possible. All it takes is for someone to get lucky and find an exploit that lets us get rid of write protection for any amount of time.

When I first got my phone at the store I told them not to open it and they didn't. I told them I was in a hurry and that I'll activate it later.

I bought my S4 from Best Buy last Saturday. They made me activate it and set it up, but it only began to download the update. When the update notification asked me to install the update, I said "wait 23 hours". When the 23 hours were over, I instructed it to wait 23 more hours. In that time, I was able to root my phone, install a custom recovery, freeze the update APK, install Darkside's ME7 rom, and sigh with relief. Also came from the Rezound. It was a good choice.

Since the bootloader is still unlockable, what are your thoughts on the continual development of ROMS, etc on the S4 ? Do you feel that future of S4 development is doomed? I recently just purchased my s4 and was one of the lucky few who were able to unlock theirrs prior to the mess. However, now I feel that I might have regretted buying one.

I think you meant that you rooted it and got custom recovery installed on the pre-updated MDK. No one has unlocked the bootloader on any S4 came with it locked.
There never was an unlocked bootloader save for the developer edition only available direct from Samsung.
Development for the i545 is far from dying if you look through the forum. The fact that the bounty for root and recovery on ME7 is several thousand dollars should be telling.

Its fine at the moment and in the near future but could see it lose some people once Note 3 and other devices come out esp if bootloader exploit isn't found on new update
There will always be TW & cm ROMs. I think the question should've been "How long until no one has a mdk device?" Unless a new exploit is found of course...

Even if people start breaking/losing their MDK phones, there's still GPE and Dev versions. Should still see development for those, which will be of help to us MDK folks as well.
If you end up having to exchange it, and you get an ME7, could always sell it and put that cash towards a Dev edition as well.

GE phones are fine and dandy but none exist for VZW, just like VZW has no nexus phones, because they want complete control over the devices and the software.
I currently have an S3 and when my contracts runs out I will either move to another carrier and buy GE phones or buy Dev phones off contract for verizon, but I'm more inclined to go elsewhere and go with GE phones.
When it's announced(hopefully) I'll be ordering my developer edition note 3. As far as the gs4 goes, I only know of 1 developer who stopped developing for the gs4. No one else who has started has quit.

I've had similar concerns. I took it as a reason to learn some of this stuff on my own. I've been building cm 10.2 from source to start. That said, I'm less concerned about development now but I will continue to learn how to do as much as I can on my own. I just hope I never physically damage the phone beyond usability. This is the first time I've had a case on a phone. I hate cases but it's worth reducing the chance of a cracked screen.

I want to sell my S4 but I'm afraid once I sell it there will be a bootloader exploit... Is this nuts, or is it just me??
(And possibly get the M8)

Just my opinion but... Your probably safe to move on lol there's some extremely talented people working on it , and I don't want to knock their progress, but its some serious security they're trying to break.
The reality is though that we just never know. Could find an exploit tomorrow.... Could never find it.

I'm not trying to say they're not working, I'm not saying they're bad. I'm just stating... that there hasn't been an unlock since MDK.
I know that we never know, it's just kinda disappointing...

Hey I know... I was just saying is all. Doesn't look good and Verizon is very dissapointing.

So your opinion, M8 or Stick W/ S4.
I'm a CM addict.

Well I'd either get an MDK S4 off Swappa or get the M8 if your CM addict lol
I had my locked down S4 for a few months, then I sold it on Swappa and got an MDK S4 so I could do just that.
I'm not a real TW fan myself.
I suppose it all depends on what phone you really want.

Just be sure the M8 is able to have custom recoveries too.... I'm not an HTC man so I don't follow it much. You don't want another locked down phone if your goal is to have CM

Good comparison between the S4 and M8
http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-One-M8-vs-HTC-One-M7-vs-Galaxy-S4-specs-comparison_id54260
Between that and knowing what's possible with the M8 ( on Verizon ) and an MDK S4 you can probably make a good decision.
I know nothing about HTC phones really... But are they unlocked ( bootloaders ) or is it the same deal as the S4?
Verizon is the one pushing the locked down security. Probably worth finding out 1st.

All that I know forsure, is that most HTC phones get unlocked and have great lives with CM.
HTC one, Droid DNA, all the other HTC's

I'd sell the S4 before the S5 comes out. There might be less interest in it after.
I sold my Mk2 S4 and bought an MDK one for ~$35 difference. The only thing that's missing with non-TW roms is the gesture stuff, but that's a small thing when you get GPE/CM/AOSP/whatever you want.
The M8 will probably be unlocked, we've had good success with HTC devices on Verizon. Although the 801 is a new beast to deal with. If you can deal with the razr I'd give it a couple weeks to see how the progress is on the m8

Meaning, See if it gets unlockable... I'm not about to spend 300 bucks and wait 8 months for it to get unlocked. I hate sense, less than twiz, but still. I wouldn't want it on device for more than a few hours.

Ohhhh gotcha Yea wasn't sure that's what you meant. Some of the reps aren't to bad and you can talk to like normal... Others are just robots. Well I did a little reading on it and it certainly seems more promising that the M8 will be unlocked. This S4 will probably be my last Sammy phone with Verizon anyways. Maybe HTC is the way to go. Just wish it has removable battery.

My thoughts exactly. It's just an annoying thing. Vz is the only one to be so resistive.
