Someone please help.. I unlocked my bootloader with ez unlock and I flashed the rom solid ice, well I got the verizon system software message when the rom rebooted after the flash. So, I followed he instructions and went back to stock with ODIN 3.07 and re downloaded ez unlock and again it said unlock...my phone keeps saying it is unlocked and I go flash a rom and get that yellow triangle with the verizon message. NOTE: Prior to today, (which is bizarre because nothing has changed except I went back to stock and updated the phone to clear it because it was acting funky from too many different roms I guess) I have flashed several roms with the ez unlock and not gotten that message. Please Help! I will be grateful if we can figure out if I am banned from flashing roms by verizon even with an unlocked bootloader??????
Hope this made sense, I am stressed a lil:crying:

From what I read earlier, the new version of EZ Unlock isn't unlocking the bootloader. You need to find an older version.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. so, essentially I am getting a "false unlock"? I will attempt to look for an older version of the ez unlock and let you know how it goes. Thank you again
If you can't find it, give me your email and I will see if I can email it to you.

No worries bro, I was just busting you balls. I appreciate the thanks, but you didn't have to do it. ALOT of people helped me and continue to do so, so I really enjoy being able to help someone in return.
I know your worries about getting blasted, happens alot. Most of it is actually deserved though. Some people are too lazy to search and/or read before asking something that is 1 post below theirs. I, like you mostly lurk and read. If you are ever stuck though, someone is always here to help. Just pass by the negative posts and ignore them.
Good luck to you!

I could've sworn I stated it keeps asking to update...Maybe I wasn't clear, I've updated it 10 times but nothing. I've uninstalled 3 times and reinstalled and nothing. I know Samsung is experiencing issues with their servers, initially that's the same issue alot of us Note users had. Someone was able to post the correct version of Kies (exe file), but can't seem to be happening for the skyrocket.
Edit the registry, remove kies entries, reboot, reinstall
See how that does

First off if you and everyone else who posted and or replied would've read the OP, you would've seen what I was asking. FYI child I ain't no kid, one simple question was asked and idiots like you reply the wrong way. So first off if you want to be helpful I'd change the way you approach or reply to people's comments and do some reading. You do know how to read right? Not trying to be rude or be an asshole by saying so but many people on here think they big and bad, when in the "Real" world they nothing but scrubs. Again one simple question was asked, but people need to take the time to read before looking like jackasses and replying with something not even close to the original question asked.

Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1 google search for that version, it will want to update so let it.
i though it was a problem so i uninstall'd my kies then installed this did the update and all is working as it should.
so i can confirm this ver works on a win 7 x64 if it still wants to update after updating it then there is something wrong with your computer,
give it a try.
i had a stock rom...rooted it, then went to install one of the roms from the website here and the custom kernel...now i keep getting this lame message...detected unauthorized software please take your phone to a verizon store. what am i doing wrong here??

This really should be in the general discussions not in development. At the leased it should be in a post in the development for the ROM you were trying.

Way too many d-bags on XDA. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum, now he knows and I'm sure a mod will move it. Saying it over and over again and being a d-bag while doing it, doesn't help anyone.
OP, as others have stated, you are probably best off going back to a stock rom from Odin and ensuring you have a proper recovery flashed. Then start over with whatever it was you were trying to do.

lol wow guys, i didnt check this for a few days and honestly i will probably never post here again. i downloaded ez-recovery as i was told to do in many posts. i installed a kexec recovery...cwm 6.0.1.0. i followed the instructions in the synergy rom page and installed it through cwm. i then downloaded the Imoseyons Lean Kernel and installed it in cwm, rebooted and received the error message.
i have flashed several roms and recoveries over the years with the droid inc, droid inc2. and now the samsung. sorry to start a flame war. i will not post here again. i was simply trying to help report issues to developers.

Data for sure doesn't work, may just be APNs, may be a bigger issue (TMo has no LTE apparently?)

Its just the TMO stock rom with the 4.1.1 OTA patched in and then pre-rooted

Hopefully someone can do something with this! I'm one of the few that actually like
the new touchwiz, but I like Jelly Bean more. I'd prefer to have them both!
I love how quick the dev community works. I am also amazed at the rudeness of some people who don't contribute. Entitlement seems to be on the rise. XDA should have a thanks meter for allowing posts in the dev section instead of a post count.

Looks like you got it figured out. They call that a soft brick. It happened to me.
its called not unlocking your bootloader before flashing custom firmware on your device. my suggestion is to read the guides stickied around here before your soft brick turns into a hard brick!
Are you saying that the Rom runs ok but when you goto recovery you get the triangle? i was reading something about how the stock recovery can be re flashed by accident in some situation, try odin recovery again?

Nope. What he did is exactly what droidstyle said. He didn't unlock his bootloader which is the first step you should take after rooting your phone if you are going to be playing with any ROMs.

I think he had to have his bootloader unlocked to flash the Rom in the first place. My guess would be that he relocked it at some point.

If CM10 is anything like Synergy it does a check for the bootloader being unlocked and if it is locked still it skips installing the kernel. The rest of it goes along fine.

Okay I am a NUBE. I ran casual and then odin everything worked good. ThenI started getting errors when i was opening apps. So I was going to go back to stock. I ran oden again, this time using the bootloaderbaseline.tar 1,030K file. Now I am getting system software not authorized by verizon wireless found on your phone.
Now when I hook up to the usb cable it will not recognize to try and reload the bootloader.
any suggestions... Thanks again.
Try the Note 2 forums here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1886, they will probably be a lot more helpful. This is the Verizon Galaxy S3 forum.
I figured that I might post this to help some people as I see this posted a lot.
Are you one of the ones that tried to install a custom recovery on the MF3 update? Are you facing a never ending boot sequence or device just freezing at boot screen?
Try this to help you get a normal boot so your phone is at least usable. (Note that your factory recovery will no longer work!)
First off, do a battery pull.
After you put the battery back in (make sure it's not plugged up) go into download mode.
Click Cancel instead of continuing into download mode. Chances are your device will boot up normal. I've tried this with a device I own and also tried it on a few others (through PM and chat online).
If this works for you please let me know!
Lol I figured this out in 2 mins of owning the phone.

You should change the title...EXTREMELY misleading...sounds more like a thread for a workaround to install a custom recovery lol

You installed a custom recovery on the MF3?

Fine I'll change it. I was just trying to help some folks that post the same things every day that you get mad at and bash around.

Your doing fine...you just got my hopes up lol. But something a little more specific like workaround for failed recovery flash or fix mf3 bootloop or similar

Yeah it'd be good to have this info in a better titled thread than it was...and an even better titled thread than this one.
Maybe: [How To] Unbrick MF3 after (stupidly ignorantly) attempting to install a custom recovery
Anyways, it was first discovered here, as far as I can tell:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398336
(post 11)
And there's an alternative method too, if that didn't work:

Guys I'd appreciate it if you didn't spam up this topic with nonsense.
The phone is not bricked for one.
It was never publicly announced what to do one these forums that I could find.
Edit: I just read your posted topics and neither one says to do this
The questions are asked every day by people.
This post has potential to stop some messages.
Stop posting here just to get your post count up. If you don't have anything relavent to say then find another topic.
For the guys post above me thanks for adding more ways to help try to do a workaround even though you tried to undermine me here.

If you're stuck in download mode and cannot get to your OS, I think that counts as a brick! Yes, btw, post 11 in the first thread I linked shows the solution which I have been telling others to do...which you did us the favor of making a post about as well. I agree that it's good to make this post, though I think your thread title could be more useful if you edited it.
Also, should this method not work for some people, an alternative method is a good thing to have.
Thanks again and have a nice day! :good:
I seem to be helping folks with the issue I have posted here in many other post. Have also had some PM's about it. Any suggestions on making this more searchable?

Funny lol. Well, I tried. And failed lol. Was just trying to save some others time that keep getting so stressed about answering some of the same questions over and over.

I think my suggestion in post #8 is still a good one.
Your current thread title makes it sound like you tried to flash a custom recovery on MF3 and it didn't work. There's no way anyone would read that title and think there's a "How To" guide in it.
Alright maybe that will work.

Lol I found this thread after I figured it out for myself. I was kind of hoping this would lead me into a way to get back my recovery.
This is how I fixed my brick.
Flashed this file in ODIN. Now my phone boots normally. Got it from another thread with a diff issue here on XDA. I tried it and it worked. Wish I could remember where and what the thread was called. I believe it was this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360859
