I watched it install when the rep turned on my phone to activate. Not much I could do short of punching the guy in the face...
I don't recall seeing an option to reject the update (may have just missed it). Does anyone know if you did defer the update, can you continue to defer (or reject) it when it attempts to remind you again? Mine is set to remind me again tomorrow afternoon and I'd like to just reject it then, if possible. Either way, I damn sure don't want it auto-installing after my defer period arrives.
This is exactly why I'm pissed. The fact the Verizon would go to this extreme and possibly put someone at risk of ending up with a 5.5 inch paper weight. Once I bought this phone it became mine. With that said I will remain on beans unlocked and happy for ever. This rom is perfection.
No, I delted it when I was done with it but I can get it again very easy. But.. I am at work now... And ownt be out for a few hours. If you can wait I will PM you the OTA.
Lol, didn't think you were being a ****... lucky for Verizon it's my wife's phone and she won't let me do it.
I would have told him nope. That's not what I paid for and demand another phone or cancel the transaction.
Go back to that store and demand an exchange. The guy shouldn't have done anything to your phone such as update it.
Dude, it happened so fast it was too late. I had no idea an OTA rolled out yesterday. It literally applied in seconds. I saw the screen and it rebooted. I could have told him I wanted grey instead of white, but I just thought of that. Lol.
Let us know how that works for ya.
I've yet to read of one instance where someone who didn't tinker or unlock their phone got bricked from an OTA. You took your chances unlocking and rooting it. If you didn't (stayed stock) and an OTA bricked you?? That's a different story. You don't hear about it because it doesn't happen.This is exactly why I'm pissed.

For what it's worth, arbitrary code execution is a pretty serious vulnerability. Obviously it's often what allows devs to do what they do, but most sane software devs don't intentionally leave major security holes in their product. It might look like Samsung/VZW is "out to get you" or some such, but it's just as likely that their intent is to prevent people from having their devices (that store lots of personal info in the form of sms/mms, saved passwords, app data that usually includes apps for financial institutions like credit cards, etc) compromised.
Guy - he turned the phone on to activate the line/sim and it rebooted to apply. I don't own a time machine, so I couldn't reverse time and take him out to stop it.
You mean, lock stock and barrel?
id go back tomorrow and trade it for another one and say i want it without the update.. if he says no then i recommend punching him in the face and walking out lmfao!
im thinking this wont work only because of the video u made blatantly telling them that they are dumbasses and u had a uart root prompt while charging
, if they patched the other exploit why wouldnt they patch the charging one..
I wont even let them put SIM cards in my phone. The dont argue. They just give me the SIM and the phone and I walk out... But anyways...id go back tomorrow and trade it for another one and say i want it without the update.. if he says no then i recommend punching him in the face and walking out lmfao!
