Everything was fine with the root however I used a font app installer that got the phone stuck in a boot loop (on the rainbow screen). How do I get back to rooted JB?
Did you do a back up of your original rom? You need to get back into recovery...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No I didn't. I didn't see that in the instructions or I missed it. Any thoughts on how to get back to rooted JB?
Well if the font app got you into the boot loop then I don't think you lost root, I would get back into recovery wipe cache and hit reboot... See if that works... Good luck
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately, I tried that. I think I did an accidental factory reset too but nothing has brought it back from the boot rainbow screen.
Did you unlock using EZ Unlock v1.2? You only mentioned that you rooted.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No, I didn't use that. I followed the instructions to root found here (worked no problem until I met that $&#^%#& app) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 I think I can reset using Odin I just don't know what to use
Aight, well did you unlock the bootloader? Your response dictates the suggested route to resolve this.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I did follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader
If that's the case then you just need to boot into recovery and flash a rom. If you were running just stock rooted & unlocked VRBLK3, it's easier to just flash a rooted stock rom like the official VRBLK3 leak here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034118
Try just flashing that, without wiping, then boot into the rom.
or
If you were on a custom rom, just reflash that rom via recovery and you'll be fine. Unfortunately you lose all your settings of you wipe data in recovery so try reflashing either option without wiping if you absolutely need to try recovering whatever data already exists in your current rom. If this doesn't work, format data, wipe cache then flash the rom.

Yes it does need to be there. If you have an sdcard just drag and drop onto it directly then flash in your custom recovery. Conversely, you should be able to boot into recovery and try connecting your phone to the laptop then dragging the zip over.
The longer method will be to Odin flash VRBLK3 and start all over from there.

Aight well since that failed, you have to do this the long way: Odin flash the VRBLK3 rooted image from your laptop onto your phone. Choose one of the two images for VRBLK3 and follow the directions.

That worked! Thanks so much. Now, what is the best practice for backing things up so that I don't have this problem again? Should I root first then backup? Do I still have to unlock bootloader? Just wanting to handle this properly from this point forward.
It should be rooted already if you installed the Odin files from MrRobinson thread. It should come with either SuperSU or SuperUser correct? You also should still be unlocked but you can re-unlock using EZ Unlock v.1.2 from the following thread and you're undeniably unlocked. You'll hear a brief audio message if it worked.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/
Also, please perform a nandroid back in CWM so you have something stable to return to if something goes awry in the future. That backup would have cut all this down to one simple step. You don't need to be unlocked to perform a nandroid however you do need to be rooted with a custom recovery.
Lastly, perform an IMEI backup using the "Comprehensive IMEI Backup" thread in the dev section. Do this and save the resulting Synergy zip from backup methods A and B in more than one place not on your phone. This is more so a precaution because flashing things in recovery can and may result in a complete loss of connection with Verizon.

So I rooted, unlocked, backed up and all. I just want to get a new rom and I downloaded rom toolbox. Can I just hit let's say cyanogenmod and will it just download on my phone? Are there any other precautions I should worry about?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I have to ask first, how did you unlock your bootloader? If you used EZ Unlock, which version did you use to unlock? Depending on how you answer determines what step you take next.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I used version 1.1
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Aight cool, as long as you backed up your IMEI using this method then you're free to flash whichever rom you want. Do you have a custom recovery installed, such as ClockWorkMod? If not, download EZ Recovery from the Play Store and select flash recovery for CWM 6.x. Once down reboot into recovery and perform a Nandroid backup.
If you have down all the above already, disregard it. I haven't used Rom Toolbox so I will give you my download process as if I'm dowloading the rom from xda.
For Cyanogenmod
1) Download CM10 as well as the respective GApps (google apps)
2) Boot into recovery:
-format data
-wipe cache
-Go into Advanced/Format Dalvik Cache
3) Now flash the rom, just select "Choose Zip from Sd Card), install the CM10 rom zip.
4) Install the GApps zip
5) boot into the rom and you should be good to go

If you don't...there's a chance you might lose it and the you won't have your mobile data on your phone. Plus its more of a pain in the ass to restore it than back it up.

You don't have to, but some people have lost IMEI (hasn't happened to me personally) and if you don't have a backup you can end up in permanent roaming mode as I understand it.
The backup is easy to do (I did A and B, didn't bother with C) and buys you some peace of mind.

Yes, you absolutely have to back-up your IMEI before you flash ANYTHING. The reason the IMEI is important is basically because it ties your phone to the carrier's network. If your IMEI is lost, you will essentially have a brick in your possession (no calls, no data, nothing). Right now, if you look under Settings/About Device and scroll down to IMEI, you will see a set of numbers. If this is "lost" it will read either 0 or some other set of numbers and you won't like the restore process to recover and reconnect your phone to Verizon's network. The Comprehensive IMEI/EFS Backup steps take a minute to do in comparison to the headache and lengthy process it will take to restore your phone to working order.
I think you should do some reading there before you flash and understand why it's important. It's explained fairly well and clearly even for novices.
Also, here's a link to DroidStyle's Guide to everything important on the GSIII.

Edit: I just tried to flash the stock recovery and it seems like I am stuck with cwm or twrp. I flashed stock recovery through Odin and it said it was successful but when I reboot into recovery I still have custom recovery.

The root injected image causes problems. I think you're gonna have to ODIN the original image back on it to fix it. Search around, it's here somewhere.
Go for method #2 next time. Roots without an issue.
Did you flash the the Superuser.zip file after flashing Zedomaxs cwm.tar fie in odin? This is needed to get true root priveleges.
Not sure why you can't reflash a stock rom though, that's how I've always gotten rid of root access to revert back to stock...

What is your current phone info under About Phone? How exactly does Odin fail? There's not much that can go wrong address long as you're inputting the correct files and are actually in download mode. What you could do is just:
1) Odin flash MrRobinson rooted TW 4.1 JB
2) use EZ Unlock v.1.2 to unlock
3) install your preferred custom recovery
4) flash whichever rom you want

Could you tell me if you have "su" in this directory : System/xbin/
Are you saying that your phone will not boot into download mode using the three finger combo? Or are you saying the file that you flash in Odin is failing? There's a little ambiguity here. If you can't boot into download mode BUT you do have su, try either:
1) without quotes, this adb command: "adb reboot download"
OR
2) Download Terminal Emulator, then type:
su
reboot download
Then try Odin flashing a stock image.

So with my original method I've rerooted my phone. How do I install clockwork mod on a rooted phone if it wasn't installed in the rooting process?
Take a look at the "goo manager " app and TWRP instead of CWM.
But CWM also has an easy install app if your phone is supported. Just see if it is or not and go from there either way.

I'm on Rogers Carrier OEM firmware right now and I'd like to flash the international firmware as to rid bloatware to my Note 2.
Which app would you recommend me to backup my rom with?
I've successfully rerooted, I found the problem with my phone. After it had been unrooted it needed to be rebooted in order for some effects to take change. So through the original method of CF-Auto Root, I rerooted my phone. I've installed the standalone ClockWorkMod app but it doesn't seem to make back ups properly. Through the app I hit back up and it shows the time stamp I hit 'ok' and my phone shuts off and starts up in recovery mode only not in ClockWorkMod but Android system recovery <e3> or something along those lines with only options to: reboot, install updates from adb, wipe data, etc.
What am I doing wrong?
Try installing the recovert img using clockworkmod before backups, because its not an app error, it is a user error. Using chainfires root method means no cwm. Using odin or lemme guess, you have a gs3, unified tool kit you get cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What recovery do you have right now? If it's twrp (team win) do that go with clockwork mod. Twrp (goo manager) is by far (in my opinion) the best and user friendly. But it's your call. And you don't have to un root and re root to do it. You just have to flash the new recovery via bootloader and it will work. For rom choices I personally like jedi xpx and jellybam. With jedi xpx you can overclock the sh*t out of your note 2 to 1920 and it's still stable.
I've used many recoveries and twrp is my choice hands down. And yiu make back ups easier. So dont unroot again and re root. Just download the latest twrp and flash through bootloader. but to each their own

Clockworkmod isn't letting me back up, everytime I get the box with the timestamp to create a back up I hit 'ok', my phone reboots into recovery mode and its the stock recovery, so no option to restore. Also when my phone's model isn't listed in the clockworkmod flashing menu within the app. Is my phone not supported? The N7100 is the one listed when it asks you do confirm a phone model.

I downloaded the Rom and began my normal process of using ROM Manager to boot into recovery mode to install the latest file.

I downloaded a stock firmware to apply with Odin 3.07 but it fails halfway through the write process.

Also when I try to load into recovery mode the phone screen remains black.

I never use Rom Manager so that's not surprising to me. When you pull the battery then hold power, home, and Up until it vibrates does it boot to recovery? I would suggest flashing through CWM.

It may take a few attempts to get it to work since it's fickle sometimes.

Thanks SlimSnoop I have tried roughly 15 times and am still not having any luck, are there any other tools you or anyone can suggest??
Yea, as long as you can boot into download mode then I suggest you utilize Odin and flash a stock image. There are two routes that you can go:
1) Odin flash the Verizon OTA VRBLK3 stock tar from DroidStyle's guide in the dev section. With this method, you would be returned to out of the box VRBLK3 and would need to root/unlock then flash roms again. The Odin tars included here are labeled as wiping /sdcard so be mindful of this.
2) Odin flash a rooted VRBLK3 image from mrRobinson thread. His thread contains Odin flashable rooted tars that are exactly the same as the OTA equivalent except they are rooted already. With this method, you would just need to unlock your bootloader using EZ Unlock v1.2 before flashing any custom roms. There's two versions of each rooted image here, one that wipes /sdcard and one that does not. So if you download the one labeled as wiping /sdcard all of your contents will be completely erased.
