I want to sell my S4 but I'm afraid once I sell it there will be a bootloader exploit... Is this nuts, or is it just me??
(And possibly get the M8)
Just my opinion but... Your probably safe to move on lol there's some extremely talented people working on it , and I don't want to knock their progress, but its some serious security they're trying to break.
The reality is though that we just never know. Could find an exploit tomorrow.... Could never find it.

I'm not trying to say they're not working, I'm not saying they're bad. I'm just stating... that there hasn't been an unlock since MDK.
I know that we never know, it's just kinda disappointing...
Hey I know... I was just saying is all. Doesn't look good and Verizon is very dissapointing.

At this point i've just refused to use the damn thing... I'm using my razr m w/ 4.1.2. on it because it runs better...Well I'd either get an MDK S4 off Swappa or get the M8 if your CM addict lol
I had my locked down S4 for a few months, then I sold it on Swappa and got an MDK S4 so I could do just that.
I'm not a real TW fan myself.
I suppose it all depends on what phone you really want.

Just be sure the M8 is able to have custom recoveries too.... I'm not an HTC man so I don't follow it much. You don't want another locked down phone if your goal is to have CM

Good comparison between the S4 and M8

Between that and knowing what's possible with the M8 ( on Verizon ) and an MDK S4 you can probably make a good decision.
I know nothing about HTC phones really... But are they unlocked ( bootloaders ) or is it the same deal as the S4?
Verizon is the one pushing the locked down security. Probably worth finding out 1st.

The M8 will probably be unlocked, we've had good success with HTC devices on Verizon. Although the 801 is a new beast to deal with. If you can deal with the razr I'd give it a couple weeks to see how the progress is on the m8

Josh... You feel funny holding that Max up to your ear for a call?? LoL
I want that phone but I don't know if I can be trusted with something like that

So I went in to the VZ store yesterday and the rep was like, wait a few weeks.
Meaning... They had noone at all??

Meaning, See if it gets unlockable... I'm not about to spend 300 bucks and wait 8 months for it to get unlocked. I hate sense, less than twiz, but still. I wouldn't want it on device for more than a few hours.
Ohhhh gotcha Yea wasn't sure that's what you meant. Some of the reps aren't to bad and you can talk to like normal... Others are just robots. Well I did a little reading on it and it certainly seems more promising that the M8 will be unlocked. This S4 will probably be my last Sammy phone with Verizon anyways. Maybe HTC is the way to go. Just wish it has removable battery.
