In the past i have rooted other phones without wiping the phone, however, from looking at the root methods for the Verizon GS3 It looks as though you have to flash a rom in the process of rooting it. Is it possible to root the Verizon GS3 without wiping data?

I flashed the stocked rooted ROM and my data was never wiped.

So If i flash the stock rooted rom using this method once the phone turns back on i will not notice anything has changed other than it now having root?

Yep, that's how it was for me. I was worried I would lose my data too, but I was pleasently surprised.

Since your not changing roms to a custom one but instead going stock to stock modded, you can dirty flash and you will be fine.
A dirty flash you don't loose your data.
Using the "Root66" method in the Verizon Development forum does not require a wiping of user/application data.
Not the first screen shot of Verizon saying they will unlock the bootloader, and this is one of a few places I can post.

You are in download mode. Not recovery. Can not flash from there. Pull battery then power+home+volume up to get to recovery. Before flashing rom did you flash CWM. Did you unlock boot loader. Need to read Droidstyles guide before going any further. It has everything you need to know.

Please learn what you're doing before flashing and breaking your phone.
You're in download mode. Just pull your battery and put it back in.
This is what I get when I hold vol up, home an power.

You did not unlock your bootloader properly. Seriously. Please read up before you do more stuff to your phone and break it.
This is easy to recover from, just go back into downloading mode and flash the stock rom in ODIN.
You can find information on this here:

if using the ez unlocker tool from the market, read the description, 1.4 was buggy and wasn't actually unlocking bootloaders correctly, so you had to download 1.2 from the link provided and use that to unlock your bootloader properly
Thanks, I will read up some more an terry.

Your phone is most likely fine, you just don't have the patience to fix it yourself.

The furthest ive gotten is doing it manually in cmd and it says the image file is not a loki image and when it boots recovery its blank black screen. No one has any help for me? Should i try going back to stock recovery first? How do i do that?

So you'll never guess what happened. I woke up next to my phone and it was in cwm! But guess what?! My phone did the OTA on its own while I was asleep and bricked my 2 day old phone! Any help WITHOUT using Linux? I can't even get into recovery anymore because I tried to install another recovery zip to fix it and now there is no recovery

I'm making an appointment with geeksquad (phone came from best buy) and the service rep I talked to said they'd most likely replace it for me. If not, my computer asks me if I want to format the drive (repeatedly when I plug it in with every drive letter of the alphabet) what would happen if I did?
Sent from my P9070 using Tapatalk
Just restore back to stock. There is a lot of info on how to do this on this forum. You don't need the geek squad.

Hello, my goal is to get Miracast working on my phone and from what i read, rooting is the only way to do this. Can anyone confirm that adding a line to the buildprop does indeed make miracast work? This is really the only reason i need to root and if i do root, i would stay stock. If i decide to root, am i correct in assuming that i could no longer accept ota updates then? If that is the case, do you know what forum thread i would use to get the latest updates? Thanks in advance.

If i do decide to root, where do i find the superuser for build

Can't answer you're Miracast question, but to root: flash SuperSU 2.79 SR3 in TWRP.

Yup, it's only compatible with the Google store edition.
So, if I'm rooted than i won't be able to take a ota update then?
If that's the case, do you know the thread where i could flash a safe update?

Also, if i decide to root, is there a step by step guide to get this done, it's been quite a few years since i last rooted a phone and don't want to screw it up, thanks.

You can go to the Google android ota page, directions are there to adb side load it. You will loose root, I don't beliece you can update and keep root.
