Follow those instructions, or get a USB jig off ebay to reset. The jig works on this phone, I used mine to clear that padlock and erase the flash counter.

Thanks bud can you send a link to the jig?:thumbup:

Yea thats the link I posted the question to before I posted here. I was just wondering if there was a more straight forward answer for Verizon customers.

No flash for jig. You turn off phone, plug into usb and it does its thing automatically.

Like I said, literally turn your phone off, once it's off completely, plug in jig. Jig will turn your phone back on automatically and put it in download mode. It will then erase the flash counter. You'll need to then pull the battery, and when you turn back on, lock will be gone. Good as new.

Man,
My questions must be so stupid that I can't even get someone to respond!
When trying to flash certain things using CWM, I am prompted to install an “untrusted zip"...
Has anyone experienced this and is it safe to install untrusted ???

Is whatever you're flashing stated as compatible with your device/made for your device? Have you tried flashing with a different recovery (If available)?

I have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 and was trying to flash the nexus 4 boot animation..
This happened a few days ago when I tried to flash some of the android 4.2 system dump.
Both times it says “ install untrusted zip". I just tried to toggle verification and that did not help.
Thanks for helping

No. It's not safe to run untrusted.zip. It may be contained with viruses and may screw up your phone or PC. Only run files with actual names because you don't know if it's good or bad. It can crash your phone, not to mention your PC.

"Untrusted" is not the file name. The recovery is just stating that the file is "untrusted" since its not official from the manufacturer.

Hopefully your phone is rooted, if it's not I can't help ... make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and install Rom Toolkit from Google Play. Rom Toolkit has a bunch of boot animations for free, including the nexus 4 animation. Also, it will install these from the app itself - much easier than doing it in CWR.

Hey rookie, welcome to xda!

While I've got your attention..
Can you guys help me with something else??
I'm running jellywiz RLS12, yesterday I flashed a 4.2MOD pack over jellywiz. After flashing it, I realized I didn't want it. I tried to research how to “unflash" stuff but was unsuccessful, ended up having to do a factory reset and reinstall jellywiz.
Any pointers on how to do this more effectively??
Thank you!

no freaking way. Can someone else confirm?

I think hes talking about the Odin prompt that tells you loading custom OS could cause problems... Bootloader doesnt appear to be unlocked.

It be nice if it is
I'm not doing the ota though till Dan says its OK just in case its not and just in case the new kernel won't let his unlock work

i think it just puts it in download mode so you could flash thru odin or adb.

Yeah that says Custom OS not unlock the phone and it was there before the update. If you are getting a prompt about unlocking, that's something different.

[Q] So about this cyangenmod..

I'm trying to root my s3 and the goal is in the end to put cm on it. I'm bummed the installer doesn't work for our phone, but is there a good guide on here or elsewhere with the files I'll end and a how to?
Thanks in advance ( FYI, I've flashed and rooted multiple times before just never cm)

If you stop by Google and go to CyanogenMod's page, find the phone in the devices section. There are device specific guides there. If you want to try something else, go to the original development section, find the CyanogenMod ROM and follow the directions there.

Read the instructions here once rooted/unlocked

Yeah, those didn't really help me...if I gave the file on my sd card should I be able to flash it from there with rom manager or goo manager?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

If you're rooted, and unlocked, do you have your nandroid backup set up with custom recovery? From there just use Goo Manager to boot into recovery, and then wipe your cache and then flash your ROM and appropriate Gapps pack. Process was fairly simple on my SIII using TWRP. Make sure you look up the appropriate Gapps zip before starting or you will wind up with key features inoperable and will have to reboot and load it onto your phone before finishing setup.
You'll like CM 10.1.x on the SIII, it runs very smoothly.

Nothing in the post I linked mentions Rom manager. The instructions work if followed.

Don't forget to do this either. Just in case. I've never had to restore, but i still have A & B covered

Not necessarily. I think I flashed my SIII with about 85%. Then again, I did most of the steps with it plugged into the charger EXCEPT for flashing the rom itself. It took about four or five minutes tops.

Has anyone tried both cm and slimbean? I'm thinking of trying slimbean first bc I have usee cm in the past but I keep reading slimbean is stable and gives great battery.

Need some more details, were you on 4.3 or 4.1? What specifically did you do? If you don't know what you were on, go into download mode and post exactly what the screen says.

That's weird, so you have no way to access download mode? You never get a screen saying you're ready to download files?
It sounds like you aren't completely entering download mode, hold volume down, power and home button at the same time. Once you see the blue text at the top, release the power button and continue holding the volume and home keys until you're in. If your phone boots to the Verizon screen you should be able to boot into download mode.

OK so just to clarify...
You can enter Odin mode, but when you hit the volume up button to enter download mode the screen goes blank? Take a picture of what you're seeing and post it if you can, it's hard to tell what's going on because Odin mode is download mode.
If you can't enter download mode, there's no way to recover your phone in an easy way. You can try using an sdcard bootloader brick method, but I don't think it'll work because your phone isn't completely unresponsive. The only way to fix it at this point is jtag. Just make sure there's no way to get into download mode.

Sorry my bad for not clarifying, I CAN get into Odin or download mode. So odin does recognise it.

Good, your bootloader is still unlocked, I'll point you in the right direction when I get off work or have time.
Someone will probably get there before me though, but you're in good shape.
You need to Odin flash a stock 4.1 image, root it, and freeze sdm 1.0 and fwupdater.apk to prevent it from updating to 4.3.

OK, so simply follow section five of this guide. Go to the website linked in the op, and download the 4.1.2 mf1 firmware. Do not download the 4.3 ml1 firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Next, use this to root your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825
Once that's finished, download ez unlock version 1.2 and unlock the bootloader.
Once you're rooted, use a file browser (es file Explorer is free) and rename sdm1.0.apk and fwupdater.apk to sdm1.0.apk.bak and fwupdater.apk.bak. This will keep the phone from updating to 4.3 and locking your bootloader.
