My serial number is zero is that normal?
I rooted it and don't know what it was before if in had one.

My bet is you flashed the initial root ROM like I did. If this is the case, flash a new version based off the stock VZW ROM, then factory reset your device. This will clear that, maybe a few other issues, and remove the custom message on boot.
Yep and doing what you said fixed it.
Thanks!

hello, I'm considering putting CM 7 on wifes phone. MY does not have an "update"package which would receive an OTA. Will a custom ROM inhibit this rather remote possibility. I think if this phone ever gets an update it will be via a computer update program and not OTA.

Yes it will block ota's. It will never have 2.3 unless you put cm-7 on there it seems.

The CM 7 vs Stock ROM for activation.
The CM 7 ROMS do not do activation/ provisioning right? One has to go to Stock to do that?.
Thanks

You are correct. That's a good reason to always have a stock ROM (or backup) at least on standby if necessary.
I find stock ROM easy to backup and restore, the problem for me is the recovery. I'd like to be able to backup my recovery and make a flash able zip.just don't know how to.

You mean, the recovery you boot into? There should be no reason for you to change it very much.. Although didn't b_randon14 manage it? I don't think it's possible, as up until this point I've never seen a flashable Recovery.
I recommend miui for MT. It works really well. And lasts me about all day. I'm using the 10/28 update

Hello there,
Just got a used samsung skyrocket with At&t and upgraded to the 4.0.4 android version.
My problem is that I have no data and wifi will not work. I tried changing the APN settings which would get my data to work but still no Wifi or mms. Any suggestions of how I can fix this? Thank you.
Need more info:
1. Are you on stock or rooted?
A. If rooted, what rom?
2. What radio do you have installed?
It sounds like your radio didn't flash correctly. You can either ODIN to a stock 4.0.4 or just flash a ROM thru CWM Touch.

Try going to the Sky ICS thread in the development forum, grab one of the radios from there, and flash through CWM or TWRP. If it's a bad radio flash, that will fix it.

I'm on stock and I just upgraded to the 4.0.4. How do I check my radio?
type *#06# in phone dialer to check for intact IMEI number and hope your used skyrocket is not blocked from the network

No I just checked it and the number clean.I got the wifi to work but the internet is still weird. IM guessing I might have a defect phone.where do you guys think I'll have the biggest chAnce of getting a replacement Att or contact Samsung directly?
Since att is everywhere , try them first, although most probably they will try their best to BS you...
I'm not sure how to figure out which launcher I have?
Reason is I tried to install a theme and my S3 wouldn't get past booting up animate screen ...
Thanks
Rooted 4.1.1. With touchwiz.

I think the first thing you should do is to get your phone up and running again. Just reboot in recovery and restore your nand backup (if you have one). If not, you should find the original sgs3 firmware and reflash
Already done that

Hello. I've tried searching for help on this but came up empty handed. I recently installed hyperdrive rls8 for my gs3 and after the install some of my apps didn't install. I looked under phone settings an noticed my model number was sch-i605 instead of i535. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Open up your build.prop in settings and Check what device name and provider look like.
Rls 8 doesn't sound right, are you sure you flashed the correct rom?

My wife has the exact same rom on her s3 and her phone shows up as an i535. I'm fairly new at this. Where exactly is the build.prop?

It's in the system folder in your root directory, you may have flashed the wrong rom from within aroma by accident

I found the file build.Prop and the build shows as i535 but the model still shows up as i560. I tried a system reset but stii shows up as i560

If everything is acting normally you can keep it the same, otherwise you could try reflashing the rom or a different one.

You could edit it, but if you flashed an incorrect rom build then more stuff will be different.
I would just clean flash the whole thing.

Kernel: Checkm8 2.8GHz
Radio firmware: haven't touched it

Well if you want to troubleshoot it I would start by flashing my ruu that's posted. See if you get 4g on your phone with that.

I just now am getting familiar with what an RUU is and from my understanding so far there's 2 types? 1. radio upgrade unit & 2. rom upgrade utility. Which is yours? I'm not really looking forward to flashing roms atm, just looking for something quick like flashing some firmware that doesn't overwrite my entire system partition 'IF' possible. If not then am I stuck with flashing what appears to be a new rom? Or do I have another option? Thanks for reply!
Edit: Also I forgot to include that I'm S-OFF with bootloader unlocked & permanent root w TWRP recovery, would this act like one of Samsungs crappy OTA's and re-lock my phone IF it was the ROM thing I mentioned above rather than just Radio Firmware?

And ruu is an ruu. It is both the stock rom and firmware included. There are reset parameters that a factory reset on stock recovery can do that twrp etc are not.
This will not affect your lock or s off status and it's pre rooted. Also, there's not really "permanent root" on any phone. More so with s off you have the ability to flash su and root.
