I unbricked my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
It gave me a choice of factory stock roms to install during the recovery:
Step 2: Download one of the Factory Stock roms below to your pc:
VRBLJ1 4.1.1- http://www.myandroidfiles.com/open1y..._WIPE).tar.md5 (This is a Verizon Leak, but damn its smooth!)

I opted for the 4.1.1 newly leaked version. This is now my "About Device" pic:

So, now my phone appears as if it came with JB out of the box. I have no root and it's running smooth as butter! Love, love, love it.
Can someone describe the current state of my phone? I know that sounds like a stupid question -- and it likely is -- but I can't understand how I have JB yet not rooted.
And two issues I need help resolving:
1) USB connection to my Mac. I used to have some issues on out-of-the-box ICS but Android File Transfer app solved those issues. Now that doesn't even pick up the connection.
2) Wifi Tethering. If there is a rooted solution for my setup, I need to if root guides are safe to follow with the current state of my phone.
-Obviously a newb... but lots of love and respect to the developers out here who make life so much easier for all of us normal folk.
I'm running 4.1.1 too and love it. I'm not rooted either or unlocked.
Android file transfer no longer works with the GS3. I have a Mac too and I'm not happy that I can't transfer files easily.
A lot of people on these forums will tell you about alternatives but honestly, they all suck. Android file transfer was amazing. Only thing we can hope for is a new version from Google...

i guess i can use bluetooth for the one off file transfers. But if down the road I need to get in there for more heavy lifting I'll need to fix that.
Most importantly though - no wifi tether on 4.1.1 for Verzon gs3's ?
I got the other issues fixed except google search is not returning a voice response.
Make sure to backup internal sd and ONLY use the full wipe versions in odin.

All of my study is in the city so my tab could get stolen one day and at home i have a younger brother who loves to play with settings etc
Is the encyption worth the hassle?
Does it break anything?
Do i have to decrypt re-encrypt every boot is it slow?
I have never had this option before but it seems like a good idea i just want to know how it plays in real world use before i do it.

The problem with having an encrypted partition is that CWM at moment can't really do anything useful to those partitions. You cannot flash, backup, or restore via CWM. This means your ability to work with custom ROMs is effectively crippled. In fact, to undo the encryption (or if you forget your password), I had to nvflash back to stock. Factory reset via CWM cannot be done since, again, the partitions are still encrypted.
If in the future, CWM is able to access the partitions like the stock recovery can, then you'd be fine.

I wouldn't touch it for now. If/When CWM allows for it (possibly ICS, as I might guess that the closed nature of HC is limiting development around encryption support?) then maybe..
Thats a good point ae hopefully with icys than can also make abit more headway with the more advanced recoverys to
Never thought about that before thanks

Hi guys I am in a pickle.... I am coming to you because I have no other options.
As the title says I have a Wondermedia tablet and I was looking into replacing the stock software because its bull****. Anyway I got the honeycomb ROM UBEROID setup but I can never make it by the bootscreen. I have tried several different devices in the changer.bat but no luck... atm it is laying bricked because I have no way of restoring stock software... Any help with this will be apreciated! PLEASE HELP!
Anyone? Please?
Guys I need help!
I can not help you with your tablet, but what I can recommend is posting this in the Q&A section. You are more likely to get a response there.
heres what I used
I used a file called tabatronics which is a Verizon uberoid except no configuration settings just extract to card and power on worked like a charm including touch screen which is what I kept having issues I think I uploaded this file if not let me know. I have two of these called a boss 7in tablet I got on base but took almost 2 months to find a file that worked.
There are two files u extract one is a command the other a folder with the system remove these from your card.or zip when done or will install on each boot and took lose everything also made mine alot faster hope this helps.

So I just got myself a GS3 and i am prepping my Skyrocket for sale. I was on CM9 and i did a factory reset/delete USB from the phone's settings. Then when i rebooted i was stuck on the CM9 boot logo for ever and ever. So i used this method to restore to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 and everything went A1, my phone is back to orignal factory state as is just like the day i bought it. Then i plug into kies to upgrade to official ICS and it tells me my firmware is not compatible for the update. Bummer, so in reinstall all samsung software, kies and drivers and still the same issue. So i though it would be great just to root the phone and update it to CM9 but when i try to root this is what i get using 1click:

}
So now i dont know what to do, i cant upgrade the official way nor the unofficial way and my sales ad states it come with ICS and 2 buyers already backout because it was on gingerbread.
Anybody know WTF is this??
Just from personal experience dont use the oneclick method try the odin root method , seems to have less problems and it works flawlessly for me.

read this to return to true stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 u can use odin to flash stock rogers ics, u dont need kies to do it
thanks, will try that
The return to stock thread is really confusing... I have a rogers skyrocket unlocked using on fido, I wanna upgrade to ICS but the single click odin failed Im assuming its because that one is for the ATT skyrocket...how can i upgrade to ICS on my rogers skyrocket? I'm rooted...
Go to sammobile and download the Rogers (I727R) ics tar. Make sure you do a factory before you put your phone in download mode.
You can do it after but you may get some fc on first boot after flashing

Your phone is most likely fine, you just don't have the patience to fix it yourself.

By the way op you may want to switch to Firefox or a browser with spell check. that OP was hard to read.

I am currently experiencing random restarts which is getting annoying especially when im in the middle of doing things on my phone and it cuts me off. I am currently using Clean Rom 8.2 which i like with the exception of random shutdowns. Can anyone link me to a stable Custom Rom or Stock Rooted rom to flash onto my Verizon S3. Here is a pic of my device info.

CleanRom is regarded as one of the most stable roms available. I think you might need to upgrade your firmware (baseband/rpm/tz) because VRALF2 is from the ICS 4.0.4 OTA in 2012 whereas your rom base is 4.3. The mismatching firmware may be the culprit behind your random reboots. Check your inbox and flash the 20 MB zip in recovery. Use the phone over a few days and see if the reboots occur less often. You'll want to be using VRBMF1 firmware before we can blame the rom. Make sure to pull the sim card at some point today for about 30 seconds, then reinsert it into your phone to force it to check for a PRL update.
Thank you I will try that. I had flashed that baseband to fix random disconnects from the network which helped. Ill try the one you hooked me,up with for a few days. The phone is disconnected so,I don't care to much about the network dropping anymore.Just using it like an iPod lol
