I also started a thread about this.
No one answered or helped there either.
IKR!! bet if I posted in the wrong place 20 people would have jumped all over it within 5 minutes lol. Its whatever I think I'm going sale it off and get a one or s4, the lack of support doesn't bother me but the absolute lack of interest in what is possibly the best phone out now is just crazy. This thing died faster than the bionic.

Hello everyone, I just ordered a tmo GN2 and will be getting it by next week. Since I live in Canada, I'll need to unlock it.
Does anyone know any ways other than having to pay $30 for an unlock code?

How many different threads about this are you planning on posting? LOL
If you look over in the general section for this forum, there is a discussion about doing it for free that already exists, some are reporting good results with that, others not so good. Give a little search over there and you should find it without issues.

Need someone who got an OG < 14 days ago and wouldn't mind a potential brick for CM
If you got an OG less than 14 days ago (which means you could exchange it for free if you brick) and wouldn't mind bricking, I have something kind of risky for you to try. This could potentially make us able to run nexus 4 kernels, which would make the road to CM exponentially shorter. If you are interested, please PM me or post here and I will send you the necessary files. If possible, I would like someone who knows how to use fastboot. This is completely voluntary, so do not get mad at me if your phone bricks. Sorry to ask this of you, but my 14 days ended. My idea is to flash the RPM partition from the Canadian E973, which has CM and can run n4 kernels. The nexus 4 RPM led to a brick unless someone flashed their partition map (in which case, it worked and accomplished the intended goal), since the OG's and N4's partition maps are very different, but the Canadian OG's is mostly the same, which leads me to believe it could work.
I got an OG off of craigslist last week, just to mess around with it, and maybe replace my GS3 with it, when AOSP ROMs started showing up.
I don't WANT to brick it... but it wouldn't be the biggest deal in the world if I did.
Plus, I've been leaching off XDA since my HTC Vogue. I think I owe the community.
I can offer my OG up to science. Let me know what you need from me. I've got a free day, for the most part, and I can follow directions.

tizonly1 has already volunteered and I don't want to brick more people than I need to. Thank you for offering though.

I'm down for testing. I'm a technician at a sprint store so I can replace mine if I need to.

Thanks for the sacrifice.
Unfortunately, no. Luckilly, before tizonly1 could test, I got a sprint employee who has a decent supply of OG's to test.
Hope it works

Data and yes. It uses the data to used for a WiFi essentially. Of that mashes any sense. Although this is one of those Google questions. Although, I do applaud you for posting in the right section.

Not trying to act tough, but that is something that should be said. If you searched Google and found no answer you should state it to avoid people saying anything like that. Glad I could help.

Cool story bro. Care to elaborate your point?
I believe his point is as follows:
We already have an official LTE discussion thread, every new LTE thread is getting locked, so why the hell are you cluttering up the forums with a useless thread?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Obviously to upset self-rightious jerks like you. Didn't know you were the thread monitor. Next time you should just simply state that there is already a thread for this, like a helpful forum member would, instead of being a **** about it.
I am definitely not a noob here but, it has been a loooong time. From the HD2 and g2x days including a stint with Team Hellfire. I just tried to get back in to the scene with the purchase of a tmous galaxy s4 (4.3) and am realizing that I may not be able to root. That being said, I have read that you can and that you can't. What is the definitive answer? can I root this paperweight or not?
I'm not too familiar with the s4 but I know with 4.3 on an HTC one you can't root yet.
Check your software build number and boot version and then search on those numbers. Most 4.3 phones right now can't root unless you were previously s off and just took the ota. Then all you had to do was reinstall superuser.

You can root, use custom recovery, flash other ROMs, etc but you will trip the (as of right now) KNOX warranty flag. If you care about your warranty, leave it stock and don't muck around. If the warranty doesn't really matter to you, having a tripped KNOX flag doesn't incapacitate your device or anything; just don't expect warranty agreements to be honored.
Cf auto root

I was deciding between s4 and HTC one. How do you like yours? I don't think I'm a big fan of touch wiz. I hope Verizon does not take away my unlimited data because all I've had were Verizon HTC phones.
If I had to switch carriers I would probably keep my DNA as it has bands that work on pretty much all carriers except sprint.

So far it is nicely put together and it has a ton of features. Not really happy with the lock down from Samsung though. First is was a lack of source release from LG and now Samsung has to play games
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah they did pack a lot of features in the s4. What they should have done was made the build quality better, it's not as plasticy feeling as the s3 but they should have of course got rid of the home button.
I heard Knox is a pain but at least you can root it now. I can't even use my one right now because I hate the Verizon software.
