verizon are such jerks

and it worked ....i did a partition and flashed the update for jelly bean 4.1.2......it took forever to download the update and i had to download a different zip extractor .....

when it rebooted it froze the computer and i paniced thinking i bricked the device ......but i just left it and after about 15 mins and i heard the phone reboot on its own and went to check it and sure enough jelly bean was updating and finishing the install .

after that i switched it from CDMA mode to GSM mode and it made and recieved calls using cousin's T- Mobile sim card :cheers::cheers:

so now all i need to do is get my own pre-paid Sim card from T-mobile and Ranio is live LOL

Thanks for your very difficult software Verizon, but you still have to get up pretty early in the morning to get over on some ppl :finga::finga:
