I was stock ROM, S-OFF and rooted...Clicked yes to install OTA when prompted..Phone reset and then that came up and its doing nada...
Am I screwed? What should I do?
Can I do a battery pull? Am I bricked?
I pray someone helps me and doesn't flame. I know there are some good people in here still.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

You are not bricked you should be able to do a battery pull and boot up normally if that doesnt work since you are rooted get a tmobile 2.3.3 ruu and runn that..

I believe your mistake was doing the OTA WHILE being rooted. Good news is, is that most people here tried the same as you and all are fine now.
A beer would be nice, huh?

Thanks!
Doing battery pull now. Will update If any more problems.

It's not root that kills the process, it's the custom recovery.
I assume you have CWM Recovery?
You need the stock recovery to make the OTA work, hence you have to use the RUU to get it back. Instructions are here:

After that, you can re-gain root by reading here:

network Problems

Hi
When i boot my phone i get network problems.
firstly it was "Restricted access changed" then voice services blocked
to fix this i have to goto menu network settings. change network mode to wcdma and then network operators then automatic.
but i have to do this everytime the phone boots. what is the problem?

First you posted this in the dev section instead of the Q&A section.
Second, you failed to mention what network you are on and what ROM you are using etc.

it started happening after the bootloader was unlocked.

you should try a manual network select.

Well obviously automatic doesn't work fine. So why not try a manual and reboot a couple times to see if anything changes...

[Q] How to update OS on rooted phone

I want to know how to update my OS on my s2 LTE. I got my phone rooted in the first place to get ICS on it but its been glitching recently and a lot of apps crash or dont work. My messaging also crashes. I need help I dont know much about this all this, i wanna keep all my contacts, texts, apps, pictures, videos, everything if possible. All help is appreciated!

You need to read the stickies. You'll need to learn how to use Odin and flash a recovery. Don't keep posting New threads.

Make sure to read everything thoroughly! You have to be sure on what you are doing otherwise you will end up with a paperweight. The stickies are a great place to gather the knowledge and there are a multitude of detailed guides out there to help you along the way. If you have questions after already doing your "homework" then everyone will be more than happy to help you out.
To answer some of your questions, your contacts should be linked to your Google account and thus will come back as soon as you sign in. The apps can be backed up on titanium backup. Pics/vids/etc can be moved to external SD card. You can use my backup root from play store (free) to store text messages.

[Q] Samsung_MEID_Repair.exe?

Hello,
I'm in a pickle (I think) concerning my MEID and IMEISV, they're both equaling zero.
My other thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517621
There's a program out there called "Samsung MEID Repair.exe"
A link to it is located at: adbtoolkit [dot] com. The link to the page it's on is: [[[[http]]]] ://adbtoolkit [[[[dot]]]] com/misc/device/samsung/galaxys3/sch-i535/#.UnyEufk_smk
(sorry, I couldn't post an outside link)
Google couldn't find much about the tool.
Has anybody used it before, or know how it works?
Thanks,
Adrian

If you didn't backup then you don't have anything to loose.

I have used that particular exe file. Works like a charm. Some quick notes about it
1) you must downgrade the modem/radio on your phone to LG7 or older. K1 is the one I used, but the older, the better
2) if your ERI on your phone reads 0 you will need to use the eri repair button in the lower right hand side of the windows application.
3) when you use the eri repair it will ask you to reboot. DO NOT REBOOT until both eri and imei is fixed.
Also there is an in depth walk through by a dude on RootzWiki but I don't have the link. Its on my home computer. There's a couple of other walkthroughs out there. Just Google search Samsung GS3 IMEI repair tool

Before the new 2.1 update they were jus black boxes.
And the only fix ive been able to find is going into Recovery (TWRP) and clearing the cache.
When i do then i get this.
I had this issue on a Rooted version of the Stock ROM. Then i tried Beanstalk and had the same problem. Now im on this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-stock-goodies-nexus-5v-1-t2596173
Not sure what the name of it is buts a Stock version. And as you can see I still have the same problem.
AHHHHHH Its driving me crazy because everytime i reboot I have this issue and then have to boot into recovery and clear the cache.
Going into Apps and clearing the cache and data of the app does not work either.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it samething.
I tried using a different messaging app. Same thing.
I looked at the APNs and there are like 8 of them for messaging (AT&T)
The default is the 1st one. I changed it to the 2nd to last one and had the same problem. And it keeps going to the 1st one when i clear the cache.
Please HELP!!!!!!! Its driving me nuts!!!!!!!
