I was afraid I'd have a useless phone for a few weeks but it hasn't even arrived and this comes by. Can't wait for it to come Monday. I'm seeding off the server at work for the weekend as well.

I say you leave the file big so I can use more data by downloading over Verizon's network. Lol. Thanks guys, for the hard work. Now I can consider buying it again.

This grants root access which allows for custom roms, this does not grant us the ability to install radios, kernels, or boot animations/splash screens. This hinders AOSP development as well.

I'm downloading the rooted image now and I just read this thread from the OP has a rooted kernel:
http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1755386
What is the difference between flashing the entire rooted image or just flashing the rooted stock kernel posted on this link? Won't they do they same thing?

I'm kinda confused... You flash a recovery.img. Is this replacing the stock recovery, meaning we can get custom kernels? Or is the bootloader still there?

I will be downloading this and seeding it via Torrent on my VZW phone. With my unlimited data. As a thank you to all their years of great service and customer-first attitude. :lol:
