Check what it says under model number in Settings, More, About device.

Quick Google tells you this is the Verizon variant. Check xda for the device specific forum.

I actually went from a Nexus 4 to a Touchwiz I337/AT&T GS4 then sold that for a I9505G. I like Touchwiz and it definitely has stuff I wish Google would add to the stock interface. Alas, though, once you're used to stock Android, it's really hard to use anything else. In the end, the I9505G is the best of both worlds - stock Android on an awesome piece of hardware, plus SIM-unlocked and bootloader-unlockable.
Yeah, I lost a few cool features like air view, but the S-View cover still works with it and WatchOn can still use the IR blaster. Those are the most important things to me.
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. Carry on.

Seriously though PM chainfire before giving it to anyone else.
Whereabouts in London? I'm in Docklands.

Because chainfire is working on the locked bootloader in 4.2.2 and I'm sure he'd like to compare the two.
After all you'd be quite pi**ed if you found you'd flashed it, it had problems and you couldn't go back wouldn't you?

bottom line, if she is on the latest ota there is no root method available unless the bootloader is unlocked which if not already unlocked on said ota, cant be unlocked.
She had never updated it..I don't know crap about her phone or Verizon do they automatically update?
