Looks like a Verizon S3 ota update is imminent

Nothing too earth shattering if you read the official statement from Verizon, but may have a fix for those with SIM troubles.

I hope this feature will get stripped out of the custom rom's. I don't want Verizon to be able to snoop on my device.

But, if we are rooted, we don't want to update. Right? Thank-you

right, the safest way to update is to restore back to stock, stock kernel, and DEFINITELY re-lock your bootloader if you have it unlocked.

Can you re-root? Just want to know if the root exploits available still work despite the new update.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Not while rooted....Can brick your phone I heard.

Do not update if u are rooted.

Well if you can't update while rooted, what are you supposed to do if it auto updates? I was just sitting in bed and noticed that my notification went off on my phone and not on my tablet (meaning not email). I checked the phone and if I hadn't noticed it would have auto updated and I am rooted on stock. It said the update would start in 3 minutes after I heard the notification. I deferred until tomorrow and have my phone how I want it, so I really don't want to go back to stock. I suppose I could make a nandroid.
It really scares me though that Verizon almost pushed an update that could have potentially bricked my phone. I don't think that is right, quite honestly.

Before installing this app,I noticed my phone said downloading vzw update, which I didn't want so I quickly turn mobile data off, search the market for a ota blocker saw this installed enabled and haven't been botherd yet. THIS APP IS ONLY FOR VZW S3 PHONES!! Sorry don't mean to yell lol.

Do we have pure stock VZ LEAKED VRBLI5?

Hi, I just wonder if we have pure stock LEAKED VRBLI5 so I can flash it to my pure stock G3 through Odin? My device is pure factory (no root, locked). Thanks.

I believe there is one actually posted in the General section.... I just read through it a few minutes ago... Here is what I think you are looking for... I tried to update sooner but had some HS about having to wait 5 minutes between posts.... This is NOT ROOTABLE and will LOCK bootloader... I know you are stock and this won't apply to you but want to say it for others.....

I'm in the same boat. If foxfi and/or the widget bypass still works for tethering I may install it.

I'm interested too. I don't want to install a Custom ROM quite yet. I tried once and my device quit booting and got stuck on a message from Verizon telling me that the phone wasn't stock and I need to take it to a service store. I ended up just using Odin to flash back to stock.
I want to root this version from stock.

That message is because you didn't unlock the boot loader.

Ya thanks prdog, I saw in the threads of the JB roms they generally have the tethering opened up. Just what I needed
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

I think I relocked the bootloader and then got that Verizon message after the next reboot. Once you've unlocked and tweaked things, don't relock.

Hey Dog ...what do you mean by using a tether widget?

On stock roms you can use a toggle widget to activate the hot spot.

I tried flashing this kernel on my AT&T SGH-I337 in recovery mode and the signature check failed. This causes the phone to reboot with the stock kernel still but with a lot of fc's and at the Samsung startup settings that Bootloops.

No offense but are you an idiot? Our boot loader is still locked so this kernel is useless for us right now.
ATT users have to wait until Dan releases his exploit, then you can flash a custom recovery and kernel.

Actually I think attempting to flash a different kernel might have tripped his monotonic counter and with no way to fix it yet, when they receive and check his device for warranty they will see this and cancel the claim and most likely return the phone as is and make you return whatever device you swapped it for.

I saw a post from a very respected dev say the same thing about returning his phone and everyone was like "yeah you are the man, do it rah rah rah" and everyone is killing the guy here...hilarious really.

Take VRBMF1 Update Before Rooting

I haven't been prompted to update to VRBMF1 yet and haven't manually updated. I am still on VRBMB1. Ready to try Beans' one click root method but not sure whether to take the update first or not. Anyone have any suggestions?

Pretty sure it'll work, it doesn't really matter if you're going to end up flashing a custom rom; but it's all preference maybe if you want the new modems just take the update.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Can you provide info if the one click method works for you. I am on VRBMF1. Never rooted before.

Just root. The newest update had signal and battery issues, along with many other issues. Verizon even pulled the OTA. Flashing a newer ROM will give you the newer features anyways, and it will be better.

It was incredibly easy. Only thing that tripped me up at first was that I didn't have the Samsung drivers installed on my PC. Since the thread didn't mention installing them I was assuming they weren't needed. You can get them here. Once I installed them and went through the steps in the thread, I was rooted and unlocked in a few seconds.

I highly recommend LiquidSmooth v2.7 if you'd like to get rid of TouchWiz.

What method do you use to root? I'm on the VRBMF1 build already, on Verizon. I have the S3 toolkit from mskip, but it says it can't do anything until I get the bootloader unlocked. Now I can't find any method to unlock the bootloader for this build. I feel I'm just missing something stupid, but I can't find it :crying:

[Q] Wedged SCH-I535

Hi,
I just got my 4.3 update on the VZW SCH-I535 phone! Then I decided to try CM10.2 and didn't realize that my phone was re-locked because of the OTA update! Now my phone is stuck with the message "System software not authorized ..." To move past this issue, I have tried (and failed) the following:
- Tried to flash stock rom using ODIN (withSamsung-Updates.com-SCH-I535_VZW_1_20120705143513_fti2qg2lmf-stock-rom-4.0.3). It goes all the way through and I get a PASS! But after the phone reboots I get the "System error ... " again
- Tried to flash stock rom using ODIN with stock.vzw_root66.tar file and got the same result as above.
- I have also tried installing with Nand Erase All and Re-Partition checked, with PDA selected using the first rom, but I still get the same error
- I have read and tried some of the thread on this site with no luck either.
Any clue how I can get past this issue? Thanks for all your help in advance.

Turns out, after working with the ATT folks for a while, that the IMEI number that my phone has comes up incorrectly in their database. It shows up as a Samsung Tab. Checked with Samsung and my IMEI number is correct, so ATT will have to fix it on their end to get my phone to work correctly. I don't know why they make it so hard to migrate phones across service providers.

The only working root method is currently saferoot if you take the OTA. Personally I wouldn't take it. I'd suggest keeping your unlocked bootloader in tact and running a custom 4.3 rom.

You van root 4.3 after ota or that link, but if I was you I would try to use the ota first. If it works you will keep all installed apps and settings (but it might be buggy). If you follow that link you will loose current setup, apps and it will format internal sd (but it will be clean and hopefully bug free ). Make sure you are home with access to a pc before you try ota. If you changed to much of the workings of your phone the ota may not work or could even brick you. In that case you will need to use that link.

Honestly I'm glad I took the ota on accident. The past few weeks my phone has worked without a hitch. Some people just do not need custom ROMs and I think I am one of them. I'm pretty sure everyone who complains about how 4.3 is buggy and a battery hog just needs to use Odin to get a clean fresh start. I am disappointed that I can't install cyanogen when I turn this into my mp3 player after I get a new phone but its not like tw is bad. It just has a few annoying things that I can change with root access.

Off topic
I dnt hate tw ..I think is a good Rom in general .all that bloatware what got me to root and then lead to custom roms .like mention not everyone needs cuztom things.I do agree that a clean install of TW runs great .but I like options .and to each there own

OK I just installed safestrap and I kid you not the theme of wicked sensation made me swap back to my stock slot immediately. I'll use it all day tomorrow and tell you what differences I notice. Right off the bat it just looks like a ROM made from a recovery backup and customized with xposed. I can't wait for beans to make a 4.3 rom.

OK I just installed safestrap and I kid you not the theme of wicked sensation made me swap back to my stock slot immediately. I'll use it all day tomorrow and tell you what differences I notice.

Seriously? They put a ton of work into theme on this rom. I've seen 4.3 stock and I'm not impressed. It's boring and pretty basic. Wicked is an awesome rom. I've run just about all of them. Beans rom isn't bad at all but I seemed to have a ton of issues with it

I like it, but it certainly doesn't have quite the same cleanliness as a good AOSP theme. It's all personal preference.
At least we know safestrap is working consistently.
