[Q] Help! Bootloader Bricked GS3! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Right after I flashed PACman rom, I realized that I forgot to unlock the bootloader. Now when I turn on my device I get this message "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." How do I get out of this?

So the people that is on EH17 can't flash this in recovery? Would we have to wait till we receive a tar and update in Odin?
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339344 for the zip file. I flashed in ACS recovery from EH17 modem. I am now successfully running EI22 modem.
This didn't flash correctly for me. Something about a script error.
This is simply awesome, for whatever reason my computers no longer recognize my USB when I plug in my phone(even bought a new cable), so I haven't been able to change modems in ages(Here's to hoping I get good signal on this and don't have to change back). THANKS OP!
Same for me
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm hoping this continues because since I've moved to my current residence I've not seen all bars filled for my signal ONCE... and the first 5 minutes of being on this modem my bars are full.

Need help freaking out a little. Soft brick?

Ok so I was trying to root my S3 and something went wrong. I was on the first step. I had just got done transferring the super user package, then went to flash the first package. It went gave me a green box in Odin then nothing from the phone. It made the disconnect sound and then Odin wouldn't recognize it. The phone will not turn on at all. When I plug it into the computer it beeps twice real fast. Any ideas.

Well when I was on step two and went to flash that file I didn't realize my file said. .tar.tar instead of .tar.md5
But you said me by letting me know I can send it out to be fixed.

well I hope you get things resolved. I guess you'll be a bit more careful in the future. If you do finally get things up and running you'll have a blast with all that is out there for your phone. but be warned, this stuff is addicting

Let us know if you have success. I'm sure someone else will hard brick their device one of these days.

[Q] I need the stock firmware, and I'm confused with what I found.

So I hard bricked my S3. I've been following a tutorial to fix it.
I couldn't find a download for the stock Verizon firmware, but then I found a list of downloads on "StockROMS.net" I can't link it... Sorry.
Which one do I pick? I hope this isn't a stupid question... I've never had to do this before.

Hold on a second.
Before you flash anything tell us what version you were running. No reason to lock your bootloader if you weren't on 4.3.

Do you mean like what did my phone come with? I had 4.1.2. I bricked it when I flashed the International version of PA instead of the Verizon version.

Nope. The tutorial that I found on YouTube involved a 16 gig class 10 micro SD card. The thing is I don't have one yet. So I've been downloading all the files I need so when I get one I'll be ready.

Yea I kind of jump the gun and assumed you were on 4.3. That is a stock 4.3 firmware file. If you flash it, it will lock your boot loader.

It was the theme that got me kind of seemed half done. Not only that but i am past inverted apps looks antiquated to me.
from the looks of wicked sensations looks nice,
Has anyone been able to try and see if MHL smart adapters work with this rom , like connecting HDMI from phone to tv?
