I looked the these threads I could not find guide how to unroot i535 verizon 4.1.2 back to stock. I found old guide uses 4.0.4 unroot. That works that way?

Grab the stock firmware and odin flash.

There isn't any guide to unroot you just flash an unrooted stock ROM via Odin and that is it.

Did you watch the video to see if it is for Verizon version of the S 3?
Use the verizon stock firmware instead of the international one and flash using odin as mentioned in the link.

You will have to flash 4.1.1 and get the OTA.

Ok, I check my phone in setting and click about device. My phone is on I535VRALG1 any of these leak will brick my phone? I wanted to make sure this process works for me. Those version are different than my device version.
Leaks don't brick phones people do.

I don't know of a way to root without a pc. Casual and Odin both require a pc

I think you are out of luck if you are on a verizon device because they come with a locked bootloader. If it was for another carrier it is possible.

This MAY work on Verizon, but not ENTIRELY sure. The guy who made the thread did say it worked on Sprint and T-Mobile S3's. But this post is all that I know of that provides a rooting from phone method.

Mobile Odin requires you to already have root access to function, so unfortunately he couldn't use Mobile Odin to flash a rooted stock ROM in this case.

Thinking about swapping my Droid DNA for a Galaxy S3 and $50. My Droid is freshly unlocked, rooted and s-off all using my Mac 10.6.8 with ADB commands. The Droid is also factory unlocked for any GSM SIM including att and T-Mobile. My issue is I can't find a way to root and unlock the S3 so I'm on the fence about swapping and of course losing this amazing Quad core krait power. Advice?

Get the S3 and to root and unlock the bootrom, you must use the Casual Rootkit. It will root your S3 and install Teamwin recovery. Trust me, it is worth it.

Go look at the Casual Toolkit thread and look at the issue I'm having. I'm the last post on there. Unless I can fix the issue, I can't get the phone because I can't root it. :/

Because my S3 on VZW is rooted fully and Unlocked.
My Droid is custom. I haven't traded for the S3 yet because I can't get casual to run on my mac. The casual thread has the errors its giving me.

So, just traded my 3 week old DNA for a BRAND NEW S3. I'm sure I lost money on the trade but I feel at home with the S3. Now on to my problem, rooting it with a Mac or Linux (run from a live CD). advice?

Is your Mac on 10.8? If so, using Casual from Beanstown106 will work. You'll need Java 7 installed for Casual to work. I almost encourage you to use the Casual 634 from the Verizon GSIII section on Rootzwiki instead of the Casual 734 linked in the dev section of XDA. There seems to be some issues with r734 recognizing the device is connected but it can work even so.
Alternatively, you can do the manual route using Open1your1eyes0 root thread in the dev section. It requires Odin which works great on Windows, is incompatible on Mac, and idk about Linux.

I'm not sure you'll be getting Casual to work on your setup. Maybe try the manual method by Open1your1eyes0 or the toolkit by mskip. Like I said there, if these don't work then you might want to find a spare laptop when available and knock this out.
Can I use the Odin method with heimdall?

Its possible, but there is no documentation/thread that I know of that goes into detail for this device. Might have to look on the other carrier models for threads. Everyone always uses Odin.

Motochopper? Wasn't that for Motorola devices? Just asking general questions, what prompted you to try that?
Yes, you do need to be unlocked to flash roms. Are you positive you are rooted? Do you have working SU or SuperSU? If so, download EZ Unlock v1.2 from Rootwiki and press unlock.
Actually, I Google "root Verizon s3 4.1.2" and his exploit works on all american galaxy s3's

Got the same thing just 5 minutes ago.. installed it.. anybody have a changelog?
Here's the full changelog from Samsung's site:
Android 4.3 OS upgrade
Samsung Galaxy Gear compatibility
Group Play 2.5
Samsung Apps
Knox
Drag and drop to uninstall or disable applications
Call reliability improvements
The new update is build number 1337UCUEMK2 – the last one was 1337UCUEMJ9. So Samsung had to change something, but the very short turnaround time indicates it wasn't anything major (some users reported keyboard issues on MJ9). The update is pretty hefty at 719MB if you're coming from the Android 4.2 software. There is also a patch from MJ9 to MK2 for people who got the last OTA that clocks in at just 28.07MB. Begin hammering the update button – no promises, though.

Wow! This is so new! It's not like it hasn't been discussed for days already!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Those of us on MF3 who rooted cannot accept the OTA correct? WE would have to unroot first?
I can say this. It was no ordinary update even though coming from the mj9 one it was only 28.07mb's. It did something to the phone to finally take away the lag. I think Samsung finally got the phone working right. I'm pretty happy with my s4 now.

So I came from an rooted MF3 install, but I have done a factory reset to try and get the update. Even now, I can't seem to get a response from hitting the "Software Update" button. Does anyone have any suggestions? Confused as to why I can't get it to report to me...

You don't expect people to actually read before they post do you? I mean, it's only common sense and the XDA rules. Why would most of these people do something smart like that? 90% of the threads are from people that either didn't or can't read.

You can side load the mj9 update and hit software update in settings.

Me too. Even when I take a picture with the galaxy gear, they show almost instantly on my GS4 gallery.
Also, bluetooth is like "smart".
I was having problems connecting my cars bluetooth to my GS4 and at the same time to my gear and each device to know what I needed it for, and now they now somehow.

Can we root if we updated to 4.3 mk2?
I still keep getting software update interrupted, going to have to use other means to upgrade I guess.

This new update seems to have fixed the messaging app, before it was all messed up on the first 4.3 update.
Also another thing that seems fixed is the developer options, I would turn off all animations but it wouldn't stick as they would turn back on on their own.
