I assume aftermarket ROMs are a non-option for you?

As a Verizon customer:
- Devices that support Verizon's bands & CDMA are mostly only sold as Verizon branded devices. (CDMA is less important every year but I still occasionally need 3g)
- ~All Verizon phones have locked bootloaders and no official way to unlock them.
- Manufacturers don't make the easy mistakes which let you unlock their bootloaders anymore.
I will not be a Verizon customer for much longer.
Depending on your device, installing an aftermarket ROM can range from "easily accomplished from initial query in a search engine to ROM installed within 1 hour" to "I am stuck in a nightmare of poorly written, contradictory forum posts written in a mishmash of languages with lots of instructions that say 'this is easy, but WARNING COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE'." Who has the time or patience for such confusion?
