I have the unlocked version of Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V from Verizon and was wondering if upgrading with this official Verizon firmware will bring back my device to a locked status to Verizon only. Can you confirm?
Just oden back with the 4.4.4 nk1 rom. It will let you do that. Just can’t go any further back. I did it several times so I know it works.
I tried to go back to 4.4.4 but now my phone is stuck at my verizon logo..
Is there any method to update Verizon S4 with Lollipop?
Download the firmware and install it using Odin.
Seems this one is for Note 3. Whether this will work on Verizon Galaxy s4 SCH-i545?
It’s not available for the Vzw S4 yet.
oh ok thanks..
