[Q] Any Advice? topic

Hello everybody, i took the 4.4.2 update from verizon back in February. i realize that there are ways to s-off via a java card, but i am not willing to do that. Im fine with spending the just dont want to have to mail it because this phone is my every-day phone so i would need it. my theory, with this phone being almost 2 months old is that i could contact Verizon and make a complaint about the purple camera tint problem as i do have that. im hoping the refurbished phone i get would come with 4.1.2 or 4.3 because when i picked this phone up new from the verizon store back in January it came with 4.1.2. Do you think this is a good idea or not as i will not get a "new" htc one but refurbished phones are just like new as i have had many before. Also, there is probably not gonna be a exploit released for awhile and im not fine with waiting till August.
