After seeing postings about a Verizon Galaxy S III update yesterday, I checked using "About device -> Software update" in Settings this morning.
A 30 MB download started and the update completed in about 5 minutes. Software Update says it was an update from LF2 to LG7.
Yeah and kills universal search and you cant disable the remote diagnostics if youre stock and not rooted.
Also several users have confirmed it will break root. They all were stock rooted with stock recovery.

I am on the Stock rom, rooted and bootloader unlocked Using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, EZ-Unlock, and CWM. Re-Locked bootloader, disabled root, took the update. After the update completed, CWM asked to disable the new boot image, selected yes. Rebooted, got a message saying the update failed, however it installed and I am at I535VRLG7. I was able to restore root, and unlock bootloader without any problem..
How do I keep the phone from taking the update?

OTA's always break root, that is what OTA rootkeeper is for!

Is that what they only do. Or do they brick the phone as well? I'm currently rooted and on stock recovery and don't know if updating will break my phone please help!!!

You will probably lose root and have to redo. Might cause issues worse than that

Didn't know Voodoo RootKeeper worked on this. Have on my Asus tablet and never failed me yet. You are hereby knighted with your first "thanks"

Did you unlock your bootloader? If so did you read the BIG WARNING?if not go back and read it. Generally once you root you don't want to give vzw a chance to unroot you. If you unlocked your bootloader It could brick your phone.
So generally don't take ota updates! You wait for the devs to check them out First and modify them for us.
As far as i Can tell this ota just takes stuff away from us And installs some vzw remote access crap. ( with that on your phone you will have to go back to stock if you just call customer support for help)

The update itself has useful stuff (a new radio which fixes no sim issues), but we have that already and it should just be flashed by itself, imo.
Well got my first no sim with the radio epic fail.. So much for fixing that maybe just a push to get that bootloader relocked

Did you do it via OTA or flashed the radio? I'm hoping you flashed invisiblek's in Odin. That one was actually the wrong version.
Flashed the radio with Odin

Flash the CWM version. invisiblek accidentally bundled the previous radio in the Odin package. Not sure if it's updated yet.

I am currently on stock rooted with stock recovery. Does the update just break the root if it goes through and is that it?

I had to flash stock last night and I accidentally flashed an old version. There's an OTA update from AT&T, but I can't check for another 12 hours.
Is there anyway to reset this timer?

Clear data on the program. Forget what it's call dmc manager or something like that. Look under all.

I too can confirm it works.
I can confirm it works. Just did it this morning. I believe it kept my unlocked bootlader too, kinda hard to tell though. The custom sign doesn't show up on startup

My friend got forced in accepting the mf1 upgrade and lost root and recovery. I need a "how to* to flash back to mb1 to reroot and possibly unlock. I tried beans casual with no luck for mf1.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
What happened with Casual? Did you try running it a second time? Cuz it works on VRBMF1 although it's a little temperamental for some.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I was able to root my S3 with casual on MF1, it did take me two tries though.
Actually my phone is not being acknowledged any more via usb and have no twrp to flash with anymore. :/
