[Q] strange idea! would it work

Since Verizon is several updates behind on the CDMA nexus. I read an article that said it was possible to update to 4.2. Using the unlocked version of the the software. Any thoughts

What do you mean? You want to install a 4.2 stock ROM on your CDMA VZW GNEX?
If so, are you new?

please wait for VZW to update your device's software.

I'm gonna but I saw the idea on an article and just wondered if it'd work. I'm fairly new to xda the Gnexus is my 2nd android coming from an HTC incredible 1

Yessir, you can have 4.2 on the VZW Gnex. Problem is, if you have to ask.
Go to the VZW dev forum, read the stickies, read them all. Find a 4.2 ROM, read at least the first few pages of the thread. If you have developed an understanding of all that you need to do to get 4.2, then good luck. If you read and still do not understand, then you need to keep reading until you do. If you keep reading and still do not understand, then you will want to just wait until it's made available OTA.

I got pretty good understanding of the process need to put a ROM on it. I'm gonna wait for the ota though. I'm pretty satisfied with 4.1 stock with an unlocked bootloader

[Q] Safe bet for a noob !

Hey, guys!
Been reading the forums for a while, but I tend to get more confused the more I read...
Just wondering; What is the newest and best reccomended ROM for my samsung galaxy nexus?

And a couple of random q's; Is there a specific page where updates are released? Do i need to do a factory reset every time?
so many questions.... bare with me, please (A)

1) ROM is a user taste. Try all and pick one.
2) If you got a ROM from here, then come back and check for updates.
3) From ROM to ROM yes you have to factory reset.
And 4) This thread is at wrong place... Should go to Q&A.

Help with Root/upgrade

Just got my ZL and I must say (till now) this phone is kickass. As you might have imagined, I cannot wait to root it, but I have also seen talk of an update on the XDA forums, I have been through tons of threads on both rooting and upgrading, but am still a bit confused.
My ZL has the follwoing specs:
Model C6506
Firmware; 10.1.A.1.434
Android OS: 4.1.2
So the question is, which is the best way to go for rooting/updating the software?? Thanks

Personally, i would do the following :
1. Update the official way via Sony PC Companion, which should bring you to Firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244
2. Follow one of the guide to root.
3. With it rooted, install CWM / TWRP.
This is my preferred method, others may do otherwise.
Thanks.

This is not a question that should clog up a dedicated development section. That's what the general section's for.

Question don't belong in Development, thread moved to Q&A.
Thanks

Sorry for posting in the wrong section.... I'll give takagen's suggestion a try. I'l llet you know. Thanks.

Tried updating via PC companion but no updated firmware available. Any way to force the update or flash it?? Thanks.

Nevermind. Im reading doomlords thread.

[Way too] Commonly asked questions

Commonly asked questions for the Note 4 N910A. I am seeing these same questions asked over and over and over and over and over again.
1) Is there root available?
There is NO permanent root available.
Temporary root is available ONLY if your phone hasn't updated past firmware OC4.
2) Can I install [this ROM] or [firmware from another Note 4 model]?
NO! We have a locked bootloader still. The only thing you can flash is firmware made for this phone by Samsung/ATT.
3) Will Kingroot or Klingo root work?
See #1. Kingroot is how you do the temp root mentioned in #1.
4) My OTA update won't install! HELP!
See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3226166
4) I'm not on ATT or not in the US, how do I update to the latest firmware?
See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3226166
5) Will this phone ever be rooted?
I don't know. Let me use my crystal ball to look into the future. Oh wait! NO ONE CAN TELL THE FUTURE!!!
6) What? This phone isn't rooted yet or has had the bootloader unlocked? It's been a year since this phone has been released!
GTFO... NOW! Run as fast as you can. We will be in hot pursuit with pitchforks and torches.
