ITs a very big problem. It sounds like you have fallen into a temporal anomaly. I suggest you hit warp 9.9 and slingshot back to our time frame , where stock is 4.1.2.
THen tell us what you installed to invoke the temporal anomaly and maybe we can help.

OK there isn't a 4.2.2 firmware available yet for this phone unless you have the international version of the device. If that's the case then you are in the wrong thread.
I used to feel sorry for those that flashed an international rom on the Verizon model of the s3 but after seeing all the threads from people doing it I just laugh now and wonder when they will learn to read the device titles.

He might have installed CM or AOKP. In any case b4 you start flashing ROMs on your phone you should know which carrier you are with and what is your phone model, there are 5-6 different models. Each carrier has his model plus the euro I-9300. Then flash the appropriate rom for the phone or carrier, also have backups of the stock ROMs for ODIN if anything like this happens again. And PLEASE read and read and read b4 you flash again.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos GT-S7562 and I'm really sick of it lagging all the time despite having very less apps. I'm planning on rooting the phone and need some guidance. Another headache with the phone is that all apps and games HAVE to be in the internal memory (which is only 2GB).
Also, what can I do once I have rooted the phone? Can I get Jellybean for it? It's currently on ICS 4.0.4
Bump topic.
use superoneclick for root
Do I have to unlock bootloader first? Is there any way of doing this without voiding my warranty?

Hi, you can successfully root your device using unlock root pro, I have done so. you don't need to unlock bootloader or do anything, just connect your phone to pc and click on root option that's it. after rooting you can install custom ROMs of your choice. for further help you can search this forum.
Which custom ROM would you suggest? Also, is it possible to get Jellybean after rooting? What all do I need to backup before rooting?

Basically what I want is smooth and lag free functioning. Which ROM would be best for this purpose? Do I have to install anything else?
Ok so I installed clockwork recovery superuser 3.1.3. What do I do next? Which ROM should I install now? Is there a way to get Jellybean for my phone?

I installed KyleRom v3.4 and it lagged a lot. Whenever I tried to open an application like Browser, it crashed even thought I had cleared the cache as well as the dalvik cache. Is there any other alternative ROM I can try?
Bump topic
Since I'm unable to solve the problem and not getting any support here, I've planned to sell the phone and get a Lumia 520.

Root via unlockrootpro.
Then use a custom rom( kyleopen rom or pmp roms)
As for the jellybean..nope ..samsung has not yet released their update for s duos.

Your phone has to be rooted to install any os on it. I could be wrong but my android device required it
Well to start your phone was never rooted so its not a "re-root" or anything like that. You just need to simply root your phone & install a custom recovery. Im sure you can find those instructions googling or here on xda
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Ide recommend a stock rom like cleanrom and I think there are a few on xda.
Until you get used to recovery and the other aspects of rooting. It gets a little complex when you first start down this path. Be careful and always follow all instructions.

Just to be clear, if your gs3 has the official 4.3 on it, you CANNOT unlock the bootloader. You WILL brick your phone if you try.
Safer not to mess with it at this point imho

I definitely appreciate but cyanogrnmod is why I bought the phone. .. I'd there a way to possibly uninstall the update in that case or would I pay much have to wait till cyanogenmod comes or with something to get around Knox? Truthfully a good reputable stock android feel Rom installer would be nice but I'm super noob status when it comes to this and would appreciate any assistance

I have just received a replacement phone. I have gone about the ways I rooted previously and none of them are working. This did NOT come with 4.3 from the factory, and the 4.3 update is not installed. I reverted back to stock from android recovery, so 4.0.4 is on there right now. But no matter what I do, whether it's the one click method, the GS3 toolkit format, or manually trying to gain root through recovery, nothing works. On the "downloading" screen that you need during use of ODIN, it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL", and it'll either have "boot" after it, or "kernel". Anyone have any ideas? As of this moment I have no working phone. Looking for some help asap. Thank you guys.

Try to Odin flash factory 4.1.2 and see if the secure check turn to "enabled". If it's then try to root again.
I just Odin flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM actually. It's booting up normally now. It honestly seems like they added a layer of protection on the newly distributed handsets. I will try to go through the normal 1 click method again and see if that works. How would I check if the secure check is still enabled?
Actually, no, it's still 4.0.4 but I'm going to try the same thing just with a different 1 click method.
Looks like the really old way worked. With the ez-unlock and ez-recovery. I had to completely demolish what was there when it was sent to me, though. So anyone who gets a replacement, the best bet is to flash a fresh 4.1.2 ROM or 4.0.4 ROM immediately, boot back up and go from there.

Nice! just ignore the security check enable statement, I misread your post..
Seems like nobody can figure out how to downgrade after the 4.3 update so the question is has anybody completely wiped a smartphone and loaded an os from scratch if so would this be a way to bypass the downgrade also I recently messed up my phone trying to downgrade and was able to go into Kies give model and serial number in emergency recovery even though Kies wouldn't connect and it downloaded and flashed my phone back like nothing happened although it updated to 4.4.2 would there be away to hack Kies and tell it what os to use instead of it downloading and installing? If so we could revert to stock 4.2
