Is this possible to root the Verizon Tablet to something like 4.4.4?
I'm not seeing any threads on it..just some random bits of people claiming they rooted it just having issues.
I have a LTE version BUT NO services. Is it possible to install WI-FI only versions of ROMS if rooting is indeed possible?
Bump. Is there a root for the Verizon Tab?

Just wondering what the state of root access and custom roms on verizon's LTE phones is. I'm close to an upgrade, but I can't seem to find a good list of what devices are locked or un-locked and which have decent custom roms.
You can't go wrong with the Nexus. Although it's not out yet, root is pretty much guaranteed, and all nexus devices have a great dev community.
Hello wonderful people!
I have a question for you. I have a Galaxy S4 on US Cellular, rooted, with Team Win recovery and Carbon Rom. On my old S1 and S3, I could run Verizon roms without any issues. However, I've noticed with this phone that i have run roms labeled as being specifically for USC or my phone won't fully boot. It seems like about half of the roms here also have a USC version, but I'd love to be able to run all the roms
Does anyone here know a workaround for this problem?
This information is just from my own experience. Does anyone have any more intelligent insight?
Does anyone know why the S4 is more picky about roms than the S3 was? Is there something that can be unlocked?

Bump?
Have you checked the Sprint forums also? I would read around, now that Sprint "owns" USC, things might be better for you over "there"
I am curious to know if it would be possible to port over T-Mobiles rom to my wife's S4. It is rooted and has safestrap installed. It is running 4.4.2 KitKat. We recently switched carriers and I was wondering if I was able to port T-Mobiles rom, it might help with signal reception? Or am I totally wrong? I would love to get the wifi calling and texting that is built in to their roms, along with a few other options they incorporate for the S4.
Thanks for any help!
Android newb... will I lose anything flashing my unlocked international phone on AT&T
Hi everyone, and thanks for all the great info here. Let's assume I have my "how to root" links bookmarked and ready to go, but like a good boyscout I want to understand the gotchas/subtleties before I cliff jump. I'm also within my 15 days to exchange my s6edge AT&T for an unlocked one at Best Buy, which I plan to do today... :highfive:
(I'm technically savy, but a real newb in the world of android versions, manufacturer changes, and carrier versions and conflicts...) :crying:
1) How do I do a full ROM-level backup before beginning my adventures in rooting? Titanium Backup is no good since I need root to use it. I'd like an iPhone-style backup that I can just restore should I brick my phone.
2) After I exchange my phone I'm going to immediately airplane-mode it to prevent autoupdates (my current phone already autoupdated to unrootable OF4)... once I root how do I effectively get-latest? I'd obviously like the latest security updates, and 5.1 if I can manage it, and to maintain root.
3) AT&T doesn't have 5.1.... but if I go unlocked then can I run 5.1 on AT&T? (I've been iPhone forever -- carriers messing with you is really foreign to me). On a related note, can AT&T send some update/profile-change OTA to my phone that will conflict with updates I'm doing locally? If so any tips to avoid this?
4) An unlocked phone will perform just as well on AT&T as an AT&t phone, right? (looks like the 925F has all the AT&T bands and more, whereas the 925I is missing 1 AT&T LTE band)
Thanks for any info, help, and/or pointing me to resources where I can find the info, in advance. I'm technically savy, but a real newb when it comes to the gotcha-ridden ground of android and carriers.
Thanks again.

So can I upgrade a 925F to 5.1 and use it on AT&T? I'm trying to work out if AT&T has _all_ edges locked down or just the official AT&T versions.

At&t does not have the power to lock down all variants; only the variant with its branding. Just make sure 925F is compatible with the network of you want to use that variant.

Thanks so much. Is there a reason I can't to seem to find any people running 5.1 or rooted phones on AT&T? Just that not many people are buying unlocked phones?

The at&t variant is the only variant not to receive 5.1 yet. It has nothing to do with root and everything to do with at&t's corporate policies. Most people who use a smartphone in the USA buy it through their carrier. So those users on at&t likely bought there phone from them. This is why no 5.1 for them.
What's up everyone?
As the question states, just wondering if there is a way for us to get the LTE band 17 for At&t if we enable root access.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!
I think thats a hardware part so changing software wont make it compattible
Possibly software. Read this:
