For what it's worth, I would not, and I haven't read anything beyond the first post. It's not made for your phone. You become a test pilot, although I suspect some have had success with it.

Not sure yet lol bought this off a friend who needed the money. It's pretty cool but there's no development for it. I might keep the s4 for roms.

That's what scares me lol. It has a 3300mah stock battery and it has pogo pins on the back so you can connect a flip case they sell that has a 1200mah battery built in. So 4500mah is pretty good but it doesn't beat the piece of mind of having a few charged batteries ready to go.

Hey glacier, I was reading up on that whole imei thing a couple days ago... So has it been determined that it's people flashing wrong? They hadn't determined the cause last I had checked.

Im thinking its people flashing cm10 but not on tmobile... everyone is still brainstorming right now... meanwhile im layin back in the cut wating for things to sort themselves out. It has something to do with cyanogen and/or AOKP. I think ppl flashing those roms are the ones losing imei, and since those are my 3 fav roms and only ones i want to try out... i will wait patiently. Im willing to bet its user error tho. Steve Kondik is devving the CM builds himself so I doubt its an issue with the ROMs

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

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.

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.

Agreed... my initial though was I might as well just take it back and get the developer version.
But I'm confident the standard one will be the more popular device

Oh, that. That though, is just a GS4 with an unlocked bootloader. It won't be a "Google Edition" and won't be getting updates with the actual GS4 GE. No point since we already have bootloader workaround.

Keep what you have got because the developer's edition probably won't have any Verizon support or warranty protection.
