so... how did this go? thread activity went dead as soon as you said "I have the goods" lol that's never good.
I have a i337m, actually I now have two lol. picked up from rogers s4 release day 1 (it was rooted same day as launch and a cm rom was released next day - thankyou steve k. et al)
despite my years of exp in this department I (un researched) flashed my baby to the newest samsung software ver via kies to take advantage of the latest radio software - with the expectation that after updating i would be flashing back to cm. HA! hahahahhaha. Dummy. After hours of looking for somehow/someone to fix what I had done, I tried all the suggestions bestbuy (yah.. not the canadian bustbuys...), samsungkiosk (noope, those dont exist in canada from what I can find) and the samsung store.. USELESS, even 3rd party vendors who make a living from "jail breaking, and rooting phones" couldnt do shyt... SO -- That phone is currently off to samsung via the only half decent "samsung approved service vendor" I could find -- Memory Express. Was straight up with them, this is what I wanted and did, this is the outcome, this is the resolution I need. Awaiting word of return from samsung. again.. dummy. /facepalm.
in the meantime I tracked down and used my hardware upgrade to get myself a second s4. wont be getting an s5 and if samsung keeps this bs knox business up I'm out from their brand which means no s6 - prob go to the source
cm itself. I refuse to be tied to amazing hardware with SH|+ oem softeware that has both "touch" and "wiz" as it's predominate selling feature. Tracking one down was a nightmare, i am willing to bet there is now at most a 5% chance of tracking down someone who has stock on NEW s4's with the original MDJ shipping firmware on them. TLDL i have a new s4 with mdj firmware, running cm11 nightlies one again. phewwwwwwwwwww!
anyways.. yah.... anyword on how your venture went? lol
p.s. gotta give props to Target. This was the first time I stepped foot in a target (supporting local is priority). They had the stock, they were fast and efficient, they even have by far the best replacement warranty i have ever seen. you pay once for year 2 coverage, if you don't use it, it rolls over to your new phone. crazy. plus .. rogers was having a promotion. pay $99 dollars for phone. get $75 dollars credit. plus a free pair of samsung level on headphones msrv $200. so.. good time to take advantage of the hardward upgrade lol.
k PEAACE!
