Well guys it was a windy day in Chicago and a paper bag hit me in the face and I dropped my phone. My s4 has the MDK bootloader, and after research and it seems that if I send my phone in to samasung I'm sure I'm I'm sure to get a locked bootloader back- m_k 2 version or other. The glass facture is minimal and is not interfere with the digitizer and has not discolored anything on lcd/ amolded screen. The phone functions perfectly.
I don't want to send it to Samsung for glass replacement because they'll give me a locked bootloader. Ive heard at least.
Ive researched and the front glass is extremely difficult to replace without damaging the digitizer apparently n hard not to pull up the LCD which would cause me to have to buy the whole screen replacement digitizer and LCD included. 200 bucks.
Option a: send the phone to samsung for a screen replacement 200 bucks risk getting a locked bootloader.
Option b: replace the phone to my phone insurance possibly get a locked bootloader.
Replace the front glass myself and if I mess up about $200 and have to get a whole new LCD and then hope I can connect it.
Anyone ever replaced front glass before and the s4? The Loca glue way
Advise anyone?
This is a longshot but is it possible for me to create a boot image of my bootloader an odin it back via some workaround... if I get a new phone?
Or I could just live with the cracks in the screen but I'm afraid it's going to get worse. Front glass is $7 on amazon.
