No. You need a computer.

Too bad you weren't rooted because rom manager would have been the ticket
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
You may be able to actually. Brainmaster made a flashable cwm it doesn't work for me sadly. It may work for you though. Give it a shot
I'd post a link but I'm on tapatalk. Search the nexus development forum.

Bootloader, how to tell if it's locked on nonrooted device

Hey guys, just recently had to unroot the S3 due to some minor hardware issues. I flashed the stock Rom and all with mobile Odin and was even able to update with the ota.
Is there a way to check to make sure the bootloader is locked without having to unroot again? Have a feeling I missed a step but just want to be sure.

Of the Samsung screen flashes by very quickly at boot then it means you are unlocked.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If you did a ota then your bootloader is locked iirc. Which version did you flash with odin? I think the F2 is the only version that doesnt relock but i could be wrong. But as suggested if the samsung logo goes away real quick at boot you are unlocked.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I flashed the rom they had from stockrooms.net, so I'm guessing it was one of the first roms the S3 had. It seems like I'm locked since it did an OTA twice (one I manually allowed then another one automatically) and the Samsung logo doesn't just flash by.
As x714x posted, if you accepted an OTA then your bootloader is locked.

The HD stock build is the only one that wipes everything.

Just unlock again using EZ Unlock 1.2 to be safe. It will not hurt anything to unlock it if it is already unlocked.

Sorry to say this but you probably bricked it, you're gonna need a JTAG or a replacement. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
pull the battery, put it back in and try to get into download mode. you shouldnt be bricked unless you installed a rom from a different phone
I doubt he bricked it. Dude, try unlocking the bootloader again
Cyanogenmodded very skankily via XDA app. Skanky, indeed
Read this again and follow the part that applies to you. There's a section about not unlocking . It's a soft brick, very fixable.

Root+Flash Unique Error

Hey there.
I have a rooted Metropcs GS3.
I messed something up during rooting process, but fixed it.
Only remaining effect is that I can't use factory reset. If I do it freezes at the Metro screen.
Can anyone help?
Sent from my SCH-R530M using xda app-developers app.
I realize this is the wrong section, but I can't find a metropcs gs3 section.
