Any other Sprint users hoping for 4.0.4 today?

4.0.4 on 04/04 would have a nice ring to it. It appears like it's ready to go too. I'm just hoping that they don't wait until the Galaxy Nexus hits shelves to update the NS4G.

I'd have to admit, it would be clever; but with how much of a struggle to get ICS on NS4G has been I strongly believe its unlikely.

Not really since I already have it via CM9.....True Story.

Bugless Beast is on mine. I'm more hoping for the release for all my friends who do not want to root.

The is a thread in development section for ns4g, Titled *official* where you can install stock unrooted 4.0.4 version and even keep the bootloader locked...

Hmmm already running 4.0.4 not seeing the need to have sprint push an ota
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I just want an official radio from Sprint.

I'm hoping for the OTA soon so that when I take my stock 4.0.4 NS4G in for repair they don't ask me a bunch of questions. USB port is giving out and I was afraid if I let it get too far it'd break enough that I wouldn't be able to unroot and lock the bootloader. But I refuse to go back to GB

Seriously, I hope it's this week because this is getting a bit ridiculous. I too want to take my phone for some servicing lol but I have BB 4/3 installed. I am sure if I just lock the bootloader and have BB Sprint will never realize it's a custom ROM

Sprint not gonna give two ****s if its unlocked and rooted take that **** in for service already...its a dev phone u supposed to run customs...

Actually they will care. And it isn't a "dev" phone. Google doesn't support CDMA devices any longer and the Sprint version was never considered a dev phone. Btw, there's no problem flashing stock GB on the device and locking the bootloader. You can do that in 10 minutes and take it back to Sprint.

Officially they do. Many individual reps may not care but I see no reason to risk it.

And I know I could go back to GB but honestly I'm kinda bored of crack flashing. After a couple years of it I'm bored of backing up and restoring and doing clean installs, flashing the new new ROMs and spending more time messing with my phone than actually using it. Stock 4.0.4 meets all of my needs without having to root or mod. I'd like to see what it's like to stay on one ROM for a while. I'm sure I'll change my mind once CM9 starts adding in new features though

EDIT: And now I don't have to worry at all, the 4.0.4 OTA is finally official

Opinion please.

I have a Samsung Showcase and plan on upgrading to a newer phone. I like my showcase but I get bored of looking at the same thing over and over again. Especially since there are only few roms available for cspire. I still have several ps1 games I like to play and I herd the xpheria play will play these. All is all would the play be worth the upgrade for a gamer? From what I read the specs are the same.
Just a question, is the phone really difficult to root? My showcase was very simple, like the rest of my android devices.

Rooting takes about 2-4 minutes.
I'd recommend DoomLords Easy Rooting Kit.
That's if you do get the Play

Or better yet just buy one that can/ has its bootloader unlocked then you can flash a custom kernel and it will always be rooted no matter what

I would love to do this but I will only be able to offored a new phone if I sign a new 2 year contract. Main reason why I'm trying to get opinions.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

Rooting the phone is just a button click on the root option in Flash tool.
Sent from my R800i using XDA

You can root but custom roms like cm9 that are not stock based will not work unless you unlock your bootloader for $24. I suggest something a bit more advanced than the xperia play, only get it if you can get the r800i. If I were you I would not buy it and I would wait for the something like the new S3 to release where I am.

I don't think there are any new xpheria models coming out for cspire otherwise I would wait. Is there no way to unlock the boot loader for free?

Road back to .91 from .141

Just creating a post in general to showcase my steps in an effort to get back to an unlockable boot loader from the .141 crap moto placed on my phone upon sending it in for repair.
Lucky for me, I was still under warranty so I sent it and and I am tracking it now... For the comment section I told them that I did not appreciate them upgraded me to a really bad version (.141) that made my phone really slow and unstable, and of course caused my once unlocked bootloader to no longer be unlocked.
Actually posting this because I'm frustrated and I hope that it will work so that way if anyone else is under contract or warranty can try and *hopefully* get the same results.
I will update as soon as anything happens.

Immediately unlock bootloader so you don't have to wipe all your stuff when you finally decide to root, or flash a custom ROM. At least I wish I did.

Stock. Unless you are a flash junkie, stock is amazing. CM10 is nice I'm sure, but stock just plain works and is fast as hell. I'm still stock on n7 even. Google knows what they are doing (for the most part)

Thanks guys, I'm really loving phone.
I was thinking of keeping it stock, just like my N7, but definitely I'm going to follow your advice and unlock bootloader, I know I'm not gonna stay too long without root for sure.
Thnx again!

Any unlock news for latest Verizon update?

I updated my RAZR m to the latest release from Verizon, and since I had not unlocked my bootloader yet, I know I cannot unlock it at the moment. Even if I rsd to the original 4.1.2 I still will be unable to unlock, correct?
Is there any work being done on a new unlock? I'm relatively happy with stock for now, but once cm10.x is more stable, and motors stops updating the RAZR m, I'd like to be able to flash something cool.
Thanks,

Yeah, here's your news; the new update blocked the ability to unlock. You can't unlock, even if you downgrade, but you can still root. The unlock exploit came out in April and people were told to do it, before it was locked up. Dan also said he probably won't ever run another exploit. You can root and use SafeStrap to run older SS compatible ROMs. You're SOL for the AOSP stuff, though. Don't say you weren't warned.

If your on Verizon and got the phone through Verizon do what I did before the time runs out... call them request a replacement device go through all the trouble shooting for your "issue"( I said the ear piece speaker intermittently goes out, yet works on speakerphone thus indicating its hardware related) after trouble shooting and problems still occur you get the green light for a replacement. request that they make a note to the warehouse to send you one without the update (I said because the new update caused data drops that didn't happen prior to update)... I hated having to give up my brand new device for a "like new" one but its better then having a locked device... the CSR in the chat said all devices in the warehouse will be updated 2-3 weeks after the update push so... act fast you may still have time left... if you get one with the update call them tell them your phone is working fine now and send the replacement back... or say something like the replacement is defective and again request a note to the warehouse... where there's a will there's a way....good luck

Not feeling like doing that. And i am not a Verizon user, I am with T-Mobile on the RDS/RadioComm Mod.
So I am just gonna suck it up and use it on stock, nothing wrong with it it works i like it. (Bugs me a little bit that i f up =( )
Next phone will be a stock Unlocked Phone so i don't have to worry about this, Been eyeing the HTC one Mini.
Or the Razr I. We will see... too many projects at the moment not enough money to buy a new phone.

Well if your looking to be pure stock but still carrier unlocked I have made a tutorial here in the Q&A. Just flash back to stock and check my thread using CDMA WS method. I even have a nifty video tut posted
