Go to my guide and follow section 6....also try reading a couple threads before posting. This the whole reason why verizon locked the darn bootloader in the first place. Research then flash, dont flash then research!!!
Edited for incorrect advice.

Download and flash root66 with odin. What stock rom gave you the triangle?

This is incorrect...you must flash the stock kernel before flashing a stock rom in odin. Op go to my guide and follow section 6.
I suggest doing a factory reset in recovery, immediately after you flash root66. My phone would not finish booting after ODIN'ing root66 coming from BeansRom 9. It was sticking at the Verizon 4g boot image for 20 minutes.

Depends on what rom he flashed. That's why I asked. If he flashed a stock rom with stock kernel flashing root 66 in odin would work.

Read the op...she is getting the verizon triangle of death...that means one thing, either she flashed a custom recovery via odin or flashed a custom rom that was packaged with a custom kernel on a locked bootloader. The advice you gave is incorrect for this situation. Im not here to argue, im here to help pass along correct information to keep bricks at a minimum. Sometimes i may come off a bit brash, but im just trying to get the point across. Seems silly to take a 600.00 device and turn it into a paper weight all because lack of research don it?

All I did was ask what rom they attempted to flash. I don't care either way. Your guides have gotten me out of a couple jams. I wish people would read them first.
I'm also getting sick of all the warranty fraud going on.
Now that I reread the OP you are correct. I will edit my reply so as not mislead anyone.

We all misread a post from time to time no biggie. You corrected me on a post in the ez unlock thread. The end result is to make sure the right information is getting passed around. :highfive:

I need to return my phone and ive used the guide to reset my flash counter with triangle away (which was never tripped, just did it for piece of mind), then i used odin and used the stock kernel and stock image to reinstall back to stock. Everything passed but when i boot my phone up right under the samsung logo it still says custom with the unlock logo. How do i get rid of this so i can return my phone back to verizon?
EDIT***** So i re-rooted then installed ez-unlocker and locked the bootloader again. Then reinstalled stock image through odin and all is well now

that means your bootloader is indeed locked...look around on the forums a bit! When the custom unlock screen is gone then your unlocked. I believe there is a guide in the dev section that explains this. :angel:

Wait hold up if you have an s4 why are you on the S3 forums? I am assuming you have at&t , T-Mobile or Sprint go to those threads as it makes much more sense to do that.
Hi guys.
So I am very new to the Verizon Galaxy S3, and I didn't see this question anywhere that I looked in this section so forgive me anyways if it has been posted before.
After flashing the cm10 nightly from 2012-10-05 (October 5) I got the unauthorized software notice and I can't get it to go away.
Does anybody know how to reset it?
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I did unlock my bootloader. But now that I can't tether it might be a while to download the 1.2GB file. Thanks man!
If you used ez unlock, there is a chance u had the version that wasnt unlocking properly. That message def comes from flashing custom kernel and a secure aboot in my experience. I think the version everyone said for sure works was 1.2.

I had to use 1.1 cause 1.2 wouldn't open on my phone. :/
Yep, the dreaded triangle. I had use EZ Unlock v1.4 and it screwed me. Use v1.2 or v1.0 I had to Odin back to stock and start from there. All is running well now.
This was how I got it back to stock (rooted). I had to use that special tip in the grey box to work for mine.
I remember when I had this happen to me. I was a total noob at flashing when I got my S3. Tried to install some rom with custom kernel and kept getting this at reboot. Didn't know anything about unlocking bootloader
A month later and I'm a pro... Well maybe not a pro, but no more triangle of death!
At the time, though, I nearly **** my pants lol.

Had this happen to me last weekend. I thought my boot loader was unlocked but it turned out the superuser app I flashed (which I thought was an updated one) didn't have the thing to unlock the boot loader. Basically I just rooted and assumed I had it unlocked... Then flashed MOAR and after aroma froze 5 times and finally got the whole way through i met mr triangle. Haha

Don't flash anything in Odin. Once on TW 4.3, you're permanently on TW 4.3 because of Knox bootloader. You have the potential to brick your device if you flash anything in Odin.

After which step did you see this yellow triangle? Could you be very specific? Did the ICS tar flash successfully? Cuz from what I understand with 4.3 on other carrier's S3, once you're on TW 4.3 you can't downgrade. I want to tell you to flash VRBMF1 jellybean stock firmware since you've already flashed ICS firmware with no hard brick.

I tried flashing the VRALEC bootchain first, and it took, but then threw the yellow triangle. After that I tried loading VRALF2 stock firmware and it did not give any errors. I tried again with VRALEC bootchain with no success. Then tried VRALF2 bootchain and VRBMD3 bootchain. I can boot into stock recovery and Odin, but that's all.

We don't know. That means bootloader is locked. It would have to be Odin again. If got that with stock tar could be brick. If try to unlock may get hard brick. You kinda past the point of no return. Can try to Odin another newer one like MF1 and see what happens. It is saying the kernel is not compatible. Can't clear that message anyway without another stock Odin. Can't unlock with that message anyway. It's too late.

Ok, I'm already downloading MF1 on my really slow Internet connection. It may be done by sunrise.
Just rooted my new SGS3 using New Root Method Released for Verizon’s Galaxy S3, No Odin Required. i did the data & kelvic wipe then install Clean Rom 5.0. All progressed without a hitch. Even backed up with CWM prior to flash.
I rebooted into the new rom and got this: System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless... rebooted several time with same result.
What can I do now? Thanks for your help.
Just a wild guess, but me thinks your bootloader is still locked! But I'm not sure that will even apply because I rooted my device before unlocking the bootloader. But I rooted my device via ODIN first.
You can try EZ-Unlock via the Market. The GUI is still very buggy and will show the status as unknown but the internal workings of the app works good.
You got nothin to loose in trying. Go back to stock and give it another whirl after you've unlocked the bootloader.
Of that fails then I would suggest using the tried and true method..ODIN.
G'luck!
yup your bootloader is still locked
check the downloads thread and use version 1.2.
That means your boatloader is locked. You now must Odin back to stock and start over. Droid style has a guide stickied in the development thread. Follow section 6 of it.
Next time use ez unlock version 1.2 to unlock you boatloader.

Hi, I have a Verizon S3 flashed to Boost Mobile. I tried to gain root by flashing a stock rooted Rom and messed up the flash. I had to take it back to be flashed again  Now I'm more cautious before hand. I should have backed it up before attempting it, I know I know lol can anyone shed some light on how to update a flashed phone as well as how to root it. I could really use the help 
Also after I messed up the boost flash I paniced and flashed a sprint kernel hoping this would fix the problem. Since then anything that I've tried to view including taking camera shots and web browsing if done in landscape mode will be upside down, any remedy for this problem? I know now... root first, flash later.

Are you sure? Make sure you hold down Volume Down + Home for a few seconds before also hitting the Power button. I saw that same message yesterday when going back to stock and I was still able to boot into recovery/download mode. Also make sure your device is completely powered down (and not plugged in/charging)
deleted
THAT DID IT! I held volume down/home for a few seconds and then held power. The phone booted to a mode I had not seen before (recovery/download as you said?) and I said cancel and the phone booted!
I ran EZ-Unlock to unlock the boot loader. I tried several apps that require superuser permissions and they were granted it and run fine. So I assume I am still rooted, right?
Thanks so much for your help.
sounds like you should be good to go. one thing you should should consider doing is backing your IMEI if you havent already.

First, some background info is needed.
1) What did you do to your phone?
2) You have no success booting into Download mode?
3) Did you flash something in recovery? If so, what is the file name of the file you flashed?
Edit: Disregard #2, apparently I can't read. Are you using the Samsung OEM cable? Have you tried using a different USB port? Different computer?

You have to try either your respective Note 2 carrier forum (i605 = Verizon Note 2 right?) or the international Note 2 forums. No one here can help you. Create a new thread in the Q/A section of the proper phone forum you need and you will receive relevant help.

I reflash stock
relfash VARLEC bootchain
reflash CWM
and try again.
No matter what options, settings, or ROM, I keep getting softbricked! ANY IDEAS?!>!

After flashing CWM, you need to unlock the bootloader. You should be flashing a vrale6 bootloader zip OR using EZ Unlock v1.2 to unlock.

That means your Bootloader is not Unlocked. Make sure you use ez unlock 1.2 when unlocking. You can verify it's unlocked when you turn on the phone, and you see the word Samsung flash for a split second.
