Root comes to the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II even after the new software update

Verizon can't keep the Dev Community down, and as it turns out, Adam over on XDA Forums has now come up with away around this. So in essence, the software update to version I605VRALL4 that is to prevent rooting and unlocking of the phone....has been circumvented. By following Adam's instructions and downloading the required programs on your PC, you can still root and unlock the Samsung Galaxy Note II, even after Verizon's OTA software update has been installed.

i taught they just passed a law that makes it illegal to unlock your phone

Just because it's illegal doesn't mean people won't do it. Even then, you can unlock it legally, just with your carrier's consent.

This is not a carrier unlock. This is a bootloader unlock.

This is a rooting procedure, not an unlocking one. The two concepts are fundamentally and functionally very different.

you are right,but how is that going to work out?? are these carriers going to allow everybody on their network to do it? if so .. then what's the point of the law? and besides these carriers are the ones behind this law i'm sure.

A carrier unlock allows you to take your Sprint gn2 over to Vzw and vice versa. A bootloader unlock just allows you to modify the OS on the phone and not alter the service provider
