14 days

[Wolvie66]

Question,
DO you think Note 2 will fade out of sight on Verizon network when Note 3 hits shelves.
Reason I am asking my 14 days are coming up quick on note 2 and I love this phone, but really don't want to find out that note 2 will be forgotten by Verizon after a few months after Note 3 comes out. You think I should take it back and wait for Note 3?

Thanks

I still think the Note II is a great phone, but no matter what phone you choose, after 6 months it will most likely be obsolete. Since the Note III will be out soon, that will have to be a call you make. As for me I still love my Note II and it is rooted so I can pretty much customize it to my like, so I really don't care if the carrier keeps it updated, because the devs do. Hope that helps.

Can you tell me how to root my phone and what all can be done to it after you root it?
Thanks

I won't tell you how to root your phone but as to what it is, it give you access to the root level.
There are many apps that you can then use which require root access.

If you attempt to root please know you are doing so at your own risk!

Yes I know it will be my own fault if something happens to my phone. But I would love to know where I can get step by step instruction of how to. I found some on the web but all it did was load up my computer with adware etc. So if somebody can send me in the right direction that would be a great help.

Thanks

I will be remiss if I don't warn you below

*I am not liable for what you do to your DEVICE!!

*I take no credit for links posted in this thread... This is just a guide or more so a collaboration of different guides all put into one thread!!

*This Guide will not trip your flash counter!! Flashing any custom software via odin will infact trip the flash counter!! Thats why I use these methods and the only thing I use odin is for flashing STOCK firmware Only!!!


DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA UPDATES EVER!! REMEMBER THIS DEVICE SHIPPED LOCKED...OUR TALENTED DEVS UNLOCKED THIS DEVICE, SO ONLY RELY ON THEM FOR UPDATES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN A PERMA LOCKED BOOTLOADER!!

DonB thank you.

Hi

Have a search on "xda mskip root toolkit" His app for Windows really makes the process easy. You still need to read as much as you can to understand what you are doing first.
