Hey XDA! My brother and I are having a problem with his Verizon GS3. After a fight with it we finally got it completely rooted (we rooted it while he was running 4.1.1 stock) . Every time we try to flash a ROM the phone does it and then during boot up it gives an error message. Something along the lines of "unauthorized software has been detected. Please go to your nearest Verizon store to restore your device." not exactly what it says but close to that (I don't have it in front of me right now). Does anyone know what could be wrong and how to fix it?

Boot loader was locked upon ROM flash.
Vzw ez unlock for Verizon galaxy s3 will unlock it.
If you can not find in play store.
Google it and you can download and place on SD card to install the app that way.
Make sure you are rooted

Isn't the boot loader unlocked in the first step? The boot up screen with the Samsung logo has the unlocked symbol on it. Sorry for the dumb questions, the only device I've rooted is my Galaxy Nexus and that was a breeze.

No its still locked use the ezunlock and it should let you flash a rom.
It really is. Hopefully when the X-Phone comes out it will be easy like the Nexus. Rooting the GS3 has been such a nuisance. Thanks for the help everyone! I'll report back with how it goes.

So ezunlock is no longer available on the play store apparently. Every link that was supposed to take me there didn't work, just says it "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." Any other apps that I could use?
Hopefully this works. Threw the apk up in my drive. I'm not going to leave it there long, so grab it quick. Make sure to allow installs from unknown sources in developer settings.
Removed URL
Post here when you have it.
Edit: Removed the URL since I'm not going to leave it up all night. Google ezunlock, it's literally the first link you see.

I made it very VERY clear at the beginning of the video that you should only follow these instructions if you are on a STOCK ROOTED Rom. I don't know how to do it on any Rom besides that

Could you post a video on how to properly wipe google wallet to save your secure element in the event you want to flash another ROM?
Hey, appreciate the video.
I'm on a stock rooted rom, but when trying to open the build prop in text editor as you did, a pop up message appears saying "Warning: You cannot edit this file because the file system is read-only."
At the top of root explorer you shoold see a button that says "mount r/w" . Tap that button and problem solved

After installing the wallet, build.prop file should be restored to original? Or leave it?

I would just leave it. I dont see why you wouldn't , I mean the build prop that you changed it to is the sprint galaxy s 3, so the only difference is that there are less blocked apps

You need a custom recovery to flash the files so you must unlock first. [Assuming you're on Verizon] Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez.unlock and click unlock. You're now unlocked. To install a custom recovery, download GooManager or Rom Manager and allow the app to install the custom recovery of your choice (TWRP or Clockworkmod). Then you're set to install Google Wallet.
I still can't manage to add a card to the wallet

Either its not installed or installed incorrectly.
How did you root? And how did you install busybox?

Toss it my way. Correct none of the unlock apps will work for the I727, I've tried many. Your IMEI is still in the database, It is just AT&T not wanting to give it to you. Your best bet would be to use one of the MANY online sources. There are several that offer unlocking for under $10.00 others that offer for around $30.oo ish. Find one in your budget that will work for your time constraints and go with them.
As far as busy box, you have a few options from the market that will quickly and easily install it for you.

Don't know anything about the unlock apps, but are you installing busybox through the market and THEN opening the app and installing it through the app? If not, the app is worthless.

Yes, that message means your bootloader is still locked. You need to Odin to stock then restart, but this time download ez unlock version 1.2 from rootzwiki.

Ok so verizon sent to new update and now I lost Fox-FI wifi.
My question is, can I go back to the last version?? I think it was Jelly bean right.?
Is there a way to do this or am I screwed until fox fi comes up with a fix. and/or have to root?
I would just like to go back to the last version versus rooting..
Thanks for the input.....

what? you receives OTA update for kit kat? your phone is xt926? You can post a print of about phone?
Nvm!!
He has the original Razr. Not an HD.
DO NOT ALLOW THE OTA! IT MAY LOCK YOUR BOOT OR UNROOT YOU FOREVER!
If any others get the same update choose download but choose not now & the ota will be in cache. Cut/move it with a root browser to your Ext SD. We want that file!
Please post a screen shot of your phone info page. There is easy screenshot free.
You are the 1st guinea...
Have you ever unlocked you boot?
Okay so here to screenshots of the new Kik Kat. You'll see on the settings there's a new icon saying Network Monitored.. So what should I do. I'm not rooted nor have I done that other big thing someone was talking about.

Yes it seems that Moto will update last years phones first ultra maxx and mini, then the 2012 ones...HD, MAXX HD
So I am on a Verizon SCH-I535 with 4.4.2 which everything I read says cannot be rooted because the bootloader is completely locked down. [insert sad face]
What I am currently looking for is some kind of app that can record actions and repeat them. like clicks/taps. So if I wanted to click something over and over and over and over...I wouldn't have to physically do it and would not have to come up with some robot to tap for me. They exist in Play store and online but I am yet to find one that can be used on non-rooted phones...hence my predicament. [insert sad face again]
Anyone know of anything out there that can do this without being on a rooted phone?
You can get root on 4.4.2. Search for "Towelroot". Its an apk, so it's super easy. You just can't unlock the bootloader, so no custom recovery or roms.
