I'm a relative newbie at this, but after several frustrating days of trying various options, unsuccessfully, I appear to finally have root. I took pieces and parts from various options and it seems to have worked. I have had stable root through complete battery depletion, recharge, and restart. So far so good...
well my apologies for my not replying sooner my family come first . The root on second start power up failed.

Would you be willing to post a guide? And is it just root or bootloader unlock also?

Please share

Would very much like to know how you achieved root!

Answers soon
I have some things going on with a veterans website I'm setting up so I haven't had a lot of time for anything else.
As I said I'm new to all this and some of it I'm not sure what exactly I did. Now I'm trying to figure it out myself. But I will give you what info I can soon. Thanks for your patience and interest.
It's crazy how much different stuff I loaded onto my phone to get it done. LOL

Any updates yet

It's pretty much unlocked boot-loader or bust at this point.

I got Netflix Working! ON NOOKCOLOR

I got Netflix to work but i cant show anyone how to do it because i they wont EFFING LET ME!!!!
p.m. if you want to know how to do it
what i did if you have a DINC do a TI back-up of the netflix file EVERYTHING APK+DATA then do a restore using your NC after you transfer the files into the TI - backup folder on the NC
i have the files on media fire but cant post them
and the forum upload-er says invalid file every time i try to upload my dinc Netflix files
Most of us got Netflix to work. Not sure what the excitement is about. Am I missing something here?
Netflix has been working on the nook color since the same day it was available on all of the officially supported devices.
You will find several threads about it in this very forum. No need for swapping TB backup files.
Sry Evey time I did what others have done I never worked its not in my market and when I downloaded the Netflix.API from here and installed it, it would say there is an update but neverwork... so was there another way besides this way for the next user?

No user has ever posted needing to do such a ridiculous hack. Netflix has always worked for us; at most requiring a change to the system's build.prop to fix chipmunk voices...
Cool story bro...

lol...I was insatlling ROMS something went wrong now am stuck on bootloop. thanks iRobby i will try that!
What a drag. I am really hoping to see an FXZ soon. Honestly it is the lack of FXZ that has me seriously considering the GN.
Personally I require a back out plan...if none exists honestly I don't want the phone. Mostly because the other thing I require is root. I know I can root the Razr as I already have....but I am seriously timid due to lack of FXZ.
This is why over Christmas I bought a Nexus, pretty much screw it up as bad as you want and theres always a way back. That and its been out for 1/2 the time and has 1000% more development on it already. I gave my wife my RAZR, her first smart phone.

Bro, use the one-click and put Safestrap on. Immediately make a backup. You'll be fine. It's a safety net. Not the desired one of course, but it'll save your tushy.

This is due to fast dormancy on a 3g connection. Call att. Call lg. They need to fix this abomination. Or wait for a custom ROM.

Thanks a lot for your educated reply, so at this point in time our only option is to either wait for LG to take corrective action or to return the phone?

The phone is already unlocked and the first custom rom is already out, Why would you return it or wait for LG to fix it? With that mindset you should just get an iphone.

Not yet. The current rom is mostly stock with a lot of the cruft removed.
With the folks I see on irc working on this, I would imagine that more rom choices are not far away.
Root and use titanium backup to freeze fast dormancy.
If only it were that simple. It's not a separate application that can be frozen that I've found.

There's a process called modem fast dormancy that can be frozen.

Yea well that's because it's from a different motorla phone. I assumed it would be the same.

Thanks. I was starting to think i was going crazy and missing something terribly obvious.
Sir, I just wanted to see if you have been able to find a solution as yet? I really love the phone but if we can't fix this I will have no choice but to return my phone and I am closing in on that return Window.

I'm having a serious amount of wakeups from com.android.phone as well. Specifically action_check_netstat

Verizon Galaxy S4 bootloader bypassed with custom recovery ***Updated 5/23***

Update (5/23): Just to clarify, this doesn't unlock the bootloader as previously thought, it just helps ROM/kernel/recovery developers bypass it: Link Here

check out foldermount. might help with the pain of the smaller storage size. basically moves data to the external SD, but leaves a symlink on the internal so that apps, etc that point to that directory can still access the files. obviously not the same as a larger internal storage, but at least it helps.
I didn't figure it was going to take long for the phone to be rooted, and custom recoveries/roms installed. It didn't take long for the GS3 to fall to the modding community.
Once you root, NO MORE OTAS!!!!
People will read that, and still do it anyway, and well, that's on them.
This is the best news I've heard related to Verizon in a long time.

Mine will be here within a couple of hours -- I'd love to have root, just so I can do a TB restore from my gnex.

oh man, i couldnt take it anymore. ingress should me how really terrible the service was.
got mine last night, ready for root... :good:
I'm going to try out stock for at least a few days. I'm coming from a DINC2 running CM7 in preparation for this. It's going to be a nice boost in every regard, I think.
The lure of root is tough to beat, though. I've only ever had HTC smartphones, so I've been used to waiting a month or two for root. This might be tough.
this is awesome. super excited!

Unfortunately so, it looks like Verizon had time to upgrade to the new secure kernel (same as Sprint's latest OTA). And now we all know why they wanted to take that extra month.

[APP][FIX]SGS Touchscreen Booster-No more missing taps or touchscreen response delay

*If at all possible please donate to the person that made it possible, you can pay via PayPal within the app*
No root required. I was able to install app from the Playstore, disregard that it mentions a Samsung phone. This website pretty much advises what settings to use and all.
Works in the meanwhile until an official fix is released for all of us G4 owners. Night and day difference.
You don't have to use the specific settings in the website, I've found some values myself that have worked well but it's a good starting point.
1.) Enable parameters
2.) Don't forget within the app to 'start service on boot'
3.) Reboot phone and enjoy a better phone experience

Will post them here once I turn on my device, just installed my Skinomi Tech Glass and I'd prefer to let it settle fully on the screen before I go around using it again.

That's what we are here for to help if we can, the xda community is comparable to none.
There will always be someone unfortunately bringing negativity on here, but I choose to ignore them at all costs.

I have not noticed a difference in battery consumption, the benefits of installing this will pretty much fix any issues you might be having with the phone.
Can't believe it was as easy as finding the right settings and setting it on boot to fix the problem.
Thanks to other members here I was able to notice there was a problem in the 1st place before I found the solution.
Your results may vary.

Thanks for posting this. I just wanted to chime in and say that I haven't experienced any problems with touchscreen responsiveness, but I installed this anyway and used the settings from the OP. I can't say that I've noticed any difference really. My point is that this definitely isn't an issue that affects all G4's.
