Ideally, I want to be running the latest TouchWiz, and it would be great to get rid of some bloatware.
Before you even read this, please understand that I am a little frustrated with this entire situation and that I have spent hours upon hours of my life trying to figure this all out. I traded an iPhone 5 mid-September of 2013 for a pristine S4 - the owner of which used it in a few videos on his channel in YouTube. He said that it was rooted, but mentioned absolutely nothing about it having an unlocked bootloader. I vaguely remember him mentioning something about resetting it (keep in mind that however he went about this reset his very unusual porn collection was unscathed). From the day I got this phone the goodies in the About device section have remained exactly the same.
Model: Samsung-SGH-I337
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I337UCUAMF3 (bleeeehhhh)
Kernel version: 3.4.0-812098/ se.infra@sep-103 #1/ Wed Jun 5 15:45 (forward slash represents a line break)
Build number: JDDQ39.I337UCUAMF3 (once again... bleeehhhhh)
As far as the root goes, I don't think it is really there. I have used a few apps to check it, and it isn't being detected. I can't update to a newer firmware on my phone. FML!
Should I go ahead and follow the stickied guide here or do I need to take some alternate route? I just want to be able to run the latest firmware, and if I can work some nifty rooting magic after that to flash a TW rom to get rid of the bloatware? To my understanding MF3 means I can't use custom roms, which is fine with me, I like TW. :P
Looking forward to the replies. :)
