How do i recover? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I recently bought the sch I535. I rooted it with no problems using odin to flash the stripped stock rom with root. When i downloaded rom manager and flashed cwmr everything was fine. Made a recovery, and tried to download cm10 kang projectf from rom manager. When the package was finished installing i recieved a screen on boot that says "system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest verizon wireless store for help." I tried reflashing the stripped. Tar file with odin and still get the same thing on boot. Phone will not boot into recovery but will still go into odin mode.

What baseband and version is your device running?

Ics came on it. The phone wont boot for me to get any further info.

Probably because you didn't read anything... You have to flash kexec, if not you will get what you have. Go to the developer forum and download a stock image and odin it...

Well i had the samsung epic 4g when i had sprint, did everything the same way and didnt realize this phone was locked down.

Just tried to flash cwm. Did i brick my phone

So i downloaded rom manager from the market. I went to flash clockworkmod recovery to the phone and selected verizon galaxy s3. It progressed a certain amount then stopped responding. I'm a bit hesitant to reboot my phone but should this have worked?
I'm rooted and unlocked bootloader.

Try reflashing or ditch Rom Manager and use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 6.0.1.0.

I did it a second time and it asked for SU. Seemed to go through. I'm going to reboot and see if it works.
Do not use ROM manager, just use EZ Recovery from the market.
Is there something wrong with ROM manager?

It didn't brick his phone, for some reason the first time you flash cwm from rom manager, it hangs when it's about to ask for SU permissions, it force closes. Second time it will go through, doesn't brick your phone or anything of that nature.

I don't believe you can hard brick a phone from a recovery. You can always flash the stock recovery.img and be fine. I used ez recovery and chose custom and selected CMW 6 flashed, said ok, rebooted and the phone automatically went into download mode and would not boot up. All i did was flash the recovery.img i pulled from cmw non touch and flashed recovery and all was good.

Phone Potentially Bricked? Oops.

Alright so I started the process of rooting, unlocking, and flashing the Bean ROM on my VZW GS3. I backed up using Nandroid and Titanium backup, rooted and unlocked the bootloader using EX Unlock yesterday. Then, without flashing a ROM, I rebooted my phone. And then I got drunk. Today, I flashed recovery, booted into recovery mode, deleted the user data (again) and installed then installed the Bean ROM. I figured my bootloader was still unlocked but I guess it wasn't. Now I'm getting the "This System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless..." message.
Anybody have any clue what to do now?
Restock the Rom via odin flash of stock files from Adams thread

You say you made a nandroid yesterday but today you just flashed recovery. I'm confused.

If you use ez unlock I'd say unlock and lock twice. Recovery told me I wasn't unlocked at first.

Hey guys, so I have been trying to work at this and here is where I'm at...
I'm following section 6 of this post [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709]. Everything works as listed except for when I select the ROM from the three in that post and try and run it through Odin. It always fails. I tried all three ROMs with the same result and since I don't know what exactly is keeping this from working, I can't troubleshoot it in any way. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!

[Q] can't install clockworkmod

i have a tmobile galaxy s3. i had installed clockworkmod and it was rooted soon after i bought it. then i unrooted it not to long ago waiting for jellybean update. anyways, i got tired of waiting. tried to re-root the phone. cwm still on phone. then accidentally erased and resetted all data and info. lost all info on internal memory card. phone reset to original settings. now, when i try to reload cwm, it doesn't work.when i run odin, and install cwm, everything goes ok, it passes. but when i try to boot to cwm, it only comes up to the android recovery. tried multiple odins and cwm tar files. none seem to work. going crazy, need rooted phone again. pppplllllleeeaaassseeeee help!
flash it
if you are rooted but just need cwr fixed-up you could just go to playstore and download one click recovery flasher or rommanager and let the app flash it for you.
I cant get my ns4g to flash a diff recovery

Google the S3 QCOM Toolkit for all US varients. Download to ur laptop or computer and run the process. It just that easy. My SGS3 (atat) needed to be completely reset to facotry condition. When I got it back I used odin for a new recovery and root access but it always went back to stock recovery. Make use debugging is selected and it should take less than 5 mins.

Sorry I meant to say the S3 Snapdragon toolkit V2.3 which is the ALL-IN-ONE tool for all US SGS3 variants.

Clean ROM and System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless

I now tried to load the Clean ROM twice and when it's down loading I get the System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless and had to run ODIN to get the SIII back up and running.
Anyone else having this happen?
1) root
2) Unlock your bootloader using EZ Unlock v.1.2 from Rootzwiki
3) flash CleanRom using CWM or TWRP
Your bootloader is still locked that's why you see that Verizon warning.

If you are having the same problem as the op then why didn't you use the solution provided in this thread? Nevermind just seen your thread I will post there.

[Q] SCH-I535 Stuck in Recovery Loop

Hi guys. I have a Verizon S3 that is out of warranty that I've decided to mess around with since I've already upgraded to a G2. I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery using heimdall, but couldn't get it to work. Since I couldn't get heimdall to work, I rooted and installed ROM Manager, then installed ClockworkMod Recovery from there. When I rebooted to get into recovery it says "Verizon has encountered unauthorized software" and wouldn't let me in. I booted normally, then tried to go into recovery from ROM Manager. I get the same message, but now I'm stuck in a recovery loop. I've tried flashing back through heimdall and Odin, but neither one is working for me.
I can get into download just fine, but everything I try to flash with Odin gets me a big FAIL message. Any suggestions? The phone was upgraded to 4.3 before I got a hold of it, which is probably my main issue.
Try flashing ORIGINAL STOCK. You have a locked bootloader and will not be able to install a custom recovery or any custom rom. But, once you're up and running you can root it.

Do you have a link to the original stock files for 4.3? I've looked, but can't find any.
Try this. It worked for me.
