[Q] Any way to go back to stock and have normal device status? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've been looking for a way to go completely back to stock and return device status to normal for a while now and I can't seem to find a way to. If anybody knows how or could help me figure this out I would really appreciate it.
EDIT: Don't know what I did, but something fixed it.

[Q] Instruction/tutorial to flash an S3 to pageplus

I have spent the last 2 days trying to find an instruction/tutorial to flash an S3 to pageplus without any luck.
There is a Video tutorial posted by user Nevell out there but Nevell is no longer sharing the tutorial unless you're a paid dealer. I am not a dealer and really don't mind spending $$$ getting the phone flashed by someone who know how, however, it does not sound like the flash is a one time deal... It seems to me that you have to re-flash the phone every time after you install a new ROM or do a system upgrade.
There must be a tutorial that are out there, can someone share the knowledge please?

[Q] OTA update

I used Odin to go back to stock....Now on stock I cant seem to receive the OTA update. Does anyone know if Verizon pulled the update due to having radio issues with it???
From what I understand, yes, it was pulled.

Possible dumb question, help please

I have a Galaxsy S III that WILL NOT update past 4.0.4, every time I try, it says service is unavailable. Verizon says I need a new phone and Samsung wants me to mail it in to them to fix for 2 weeks. Instead of doing either option...as there are some small cracks in the screen, Verizon wont replace and I have no spare phone to lose mine for 2 weeks, I've decided to root it.
Now, I've looked all over this site and I'm both confused and overwhelmed. All the roots I see now are for devices already in JB or 4.1. So, since I'm so far behind, how do I get mine to current 4.1? I thought this

Thread may be it, but again, very overwhelming. Is this the correct spot? Any input I would greedily take and thanks for the assist. Looking forward to contributing.

Well, I will say are you computer challenged? If not you should't have a problem dealing with odin and flashing to the latest and unlocking the bootloader.

How to delete the new Lollipop bootloader and animations?

Although I downgraded the firmware to KitKat, I still have the new Lollipop bootloader and animations. Like the power off battery animation. This indicates there are still something left in the device from the latest firmware. This also might explain the instability of my device. I want to ERASE the phone to its roots. I want to start from zero. Factory reset doesn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Anyone please?
