Question, I've got the root66 rooted stock image. and now my phones poppin stuff up about updating, when it updates will it brick the phone and need reflashed or should I be fine?...
It won't brick your phone, it will remove root and lock your bootloader though. You would just need to root again.

So it isn't going to yellow triangle me. It'l just re-lock the bootloader and un-root me?

You're not sure if you're unlocked, well are you in a custom recovery when this happens? Which one? How did you root/unlock? That error doesn't look familiar at all. I want to say Odin back to stock then root and then unlock.
Your post is worded oddly. Are you saying you accepted the Verizon OTA then this code presents itself on the stock recovery?

My bad just a lot upset with vzw. Before I updated that vrlg7 zip update I was rooted with unlocked boot loader running cm 10 nightlies. When I updated it took root and who knows what else. I then rerooted and tried using the e-z unlock app, rooted but don't think I'm unlock because of the vzw applied file or whatever that said. All I know is I can't load my cm 10 nightlies. But I'm rooted please. Help.

Just Odin back to stock using section 6 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709this thread then root/unlock. Use EZ unlock v1.2 http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/from here. You'll be fine to use CM10 once you install recovery using EZ Recovery which is in the Play Store. You already know this process deletes your data so use whatever method you are familiar with to recover your apps and contacts.
Also, backup your IMEI.

thx dude you are the man....
So I successfully un rooted my phone but have some issues. 1is that when the phone boots it says unlocked with the little padlock. The other is su icon won't go away from the app draw. I uninstalled it but when I do it shows up in the market as needs update. How can I get rid of these two little issues?

How exactly did you unroot? Are you sure it worked? Do you have the stock recovery or cwm or twrp? If your on stock recovery then try this:
Update superuser and update the binary after its done. then Download ez-unlock to lock the bootloader(im assuming your still rooted). Next download supersu, uninstall superuser and follow the directions to full unroot in supersu's settings.
Or just save/back up all your stuff to a pc or sd card and flash a stock factory image in odin that takes care of everything

I unrooted using Odin rt 66. I'm not rooted at all. Factory recovery and locked bootloader (locked it before I unrooted)

Well after a couple ota's the pad lack is gone. Still can't get the damn su out of the app draw though. Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Nevermind the pad lock with custom underneath it is still there. How do i get rid of this ? I also noticed in Odin mode custom binary says custom? I downloaded root checker just to make sure I'm not still rooted and it says I'm not.

That is cause can't unroot with Route 66. It injects root when you Odin. Need to Odin untouched MB1 from SamMobile or K3 from OpenYourEyes and then OTA MB1. Or try the SuperSu unroot.
I recently accepted the MF1 OTA update without unrooting. I'm a noob so really didn't think about it until it was too late. The update installed via TWRP and I lost root, custom recovery and bootloader is locked yet again. Just wondering if I could flash back to MB1 using Odin in download mode or are there any precautionary steps I need to take before trying to flash back? Or will it even work?

Never heard of MF1 when did you get that update.
You can always try to odin back. Hopefully whatever mf1 is didn't break the root process and it causes a brick.

Maybe i was thinking use EZrecovery to restore stock recovery. and use OTA rootkeeper from VooDoo. then just use EZrecovery to flash CWM again. the only thing i am worried about is the bootloader locking again.
I received the update early this morning. I had MD3 stock rooted but flashed back to MB1. Kept checking for software updates again for a couple of days and it kept saying none available until this morning. So I accepted it without thinking. . Here is a screenshot of the update. ..

So I guess what I'm really trying to say is it safe to flash back to MB1 via odin with the bootloader being locked and having no root?

I might would wait until you give one of the developers or senior members chance to look at it. You should be fine but you never know when they have put in a new patch.

Coming from rooted MD1
I temporarily unrooted the phone using voodoo ota rootkeeper
Restored stock recovery using ezrecovery for gs3
Proceeded to update via ota.. update begins, but fails (android down with triangle and exclamation point)
suggestions?

It should print off an error log in /cache (I think) which tells you why it failed. I believe that it auto fails if you have a modified SystemUI, have Google Wallet installed, removed system apps, things of that nature.

That's probably it then, since I have removed a few of the Verizon apps using titanium backup. Thank you much

No problem! If you do want to take the OTA, you can Odin flash VRBMB1 and have it update from there. Alternatively, Scrosler posted the rooted VRBMF1 rom in the dev section.

My phone is completely hosed. It froze last night so I rebooted it. Once I did it gave me a message about UID being inconsistant and to wipe my data partition. I figured I'd just flash back to stock. Turns out I can't because you can't downgrade from the OTA. So I reflashed the stock recovery and tried to flash the OTA again. It errored out because of some APK. Now I can't boot to normal because the flash failed and recovery is no help. i just want to return to stock
Look into house of moto to FXZ to stock then take the update. Make sure you're not rooted.

I can't go back to stock. It gives me an error saying it's impossible to downgrade.
You can't do a wipe in recovery? You can get into the recovery right?

Hi when I rooted and tried to flash twrp I soft bricked my phone and when I Odin back to stock a flashed safestrap I rebooted and on the boot screen it showed an unlocked lock with the word custom below it. So doesn't that mean that my bootloader is unlocked?

It doesn't, that custom padlock is known to show up on completely stock firmware. It's not really an indicator of much of anything.
