Is there a one click root method for the newest ota its a brand new refurbished... Odin won't sync with my computer
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
You must use Odin. If you can't get your computer to recognize your phone, try reloading the drivers, different USB port, and a different cable. Even if a one click method worked, you will still need Odin to load a cwm recovery if you plan to use custom roms
OK thanks figured that was the case appreciate. The swift response....

if you know what ADB is and how to use it you can root without odin by pushing superuser manually

what's wrong with this phone?

There's nothing 'wrong' with it. It was more than likely rooted via the Odin recovery method, so now it will show custom at every boot.

the Custom Padlock Unlocked screen., it look like you freeze SysScope.apk?

I'm more than certain that it's happening to those who flashed the custom boot.img in Odin for root access early on. Happened to me as well. Ended up doing a complete factory restore using the stock image and it disappeared. I've rooted via the new method, am running Synergy Rom, and the custom screen no longer shows.

All the sim card is for is for connecting to Verizon (somewhat like AT&T's sim cards) putting the sim card from your Nexus wouldn't mean anything.
As Nit3mare said s3 was rooted using boot.img but until now there was no unlocked padlock image when booting ( at least i power off the phone twice a day). It just showed up after accidental sim card swap.

Right, you say the s3 is rooted. There's your issue.

And as far as your sim card theory goes, I came straight from the Gnex myself. Popped my sim card in, was good to go with no issues. It's the boot image used.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
it's not sim card theory. I just want to know what did trigger this. after reflashing to stock it had been gone for a while. root the phone using Noxius Ninja's tool then put back everything on the phone again like root explorer, tb, rom manager etc.. Now unlocked padlock image is back then device stature is from NORMAL to MODIFED. probably one of those apps which needs root access. now i suspect cwm. but as long as i could go back to stock i should have no problem.
I doubt you've completely reverted to stock. Flashing a stock rom is not reverting to complete stock. The reason why you are getting the custom screen, is because of the Odin root method, and that's that.
Hello all,
I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 only to have my Mic fail on me 2 weeks later... Very dissatisfied with my Samsung about that - even though I am loving the phone. Anyways, back to the issue. Verizon has agreed to send me a replacement and I have to send them mine back. The problem is that I know that if I send them a rooted phone they will not honor the warranty, and I am having a very hard time flashing the Verizon Stock rom.
More specifically, and to see if I am doing anything wrong.. I used ODIN to flash a custom rooted rom onto my phone which worked perfectly, and now I am once again trying to use ODIN in order to flash the stock rom which I downloaded from goo.im - the file that I am using is HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Simple steps - reboot into downloading mode -> check auto-reboot and reset time on ODIN and choose the file above under PDA. All works fine, the phone reboots and I get a PASS, and yet my phone is stuck on the Verizon 4G loading intro. I think that's what they call a soft brick.
The first time this happened, I flashed a different rom and the phone loaded properly but it had the open lock symbol under Samsung which I think means that it was unlocked.. Either way, it was not the unrooted and official stock rom which is what I need on my phone in order to keep my warranty. The file that DOES work is COMBINATION_I535VRBLJ1_I535VZWBLJ1_381038_REV09_user_low_ship(NO_WIPE).tar.md5
I have followed the above steps over and over again and I always get the same result - stock doesn't work, the other one does.
Any ideas? What could the issue be?

Personally I would try the files found in section 5 of this thread.
According to Droidstyles guide before his recent edits, if it freezes on the boot logo after a successful Odin factory flash then you're supposed to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and do a factory reset. Try that.

Yes this works, also had this happen to me, and to boot to recovery just hold home+volume up+power button. It should work.

You should probably factory reset after flashing, for you don't want to be running a buggy phone.

Use a full wipe version and this would not happen...part of the reason why i removed nowipe versions such as f2. But yes as slimsnoop said, data wipe /factory reset will fix that.
So I bought the s3 Verizon it was rooted and switched to cricket pre paid before my friend sold it to me he tried to root back to Verizon but of course he failed, is there anyway to get the phone completelyback to stock even though he switched providers cuz the phone is stuck on the activating part I'm no noobe at rooting just don't know much bout this phone

Follow section 5 of Droidstyle's (the guy above you) guide. Click the link in his signature. I'm not sure about how this handles modified network configuration though, that's not something I remotely know anything about.
I thought there was a way to bypass the activation screen? On older phones, you could tap the four corners of the screen or something like that? Anyone ever heard that before?

Tried to OTA and keep root and not factory reset(had to re-root and install recovery but no factory reset!) and went through a interesting process and thought maybe someone could improve on it to save time and keep apps and data.. Ok so I decided to update my tab via ota and try and save root and recovery(currently using CWM). I got voodoo ota rootkeeper and I backed up superSU, then did temp un-root, backed up apps and data through titanium backup, well sorry backed up then temp un rooted with voodoo, did all my other backing up and started download of 4.1.2 update, tablet did normal download and shut off and went to Android screen, loaded some then went to CWM automatically and asked i wanted to flash un-trusted zip, to say the least I was nervous but ok'd it and it loaded and then poped up again in CWM after it finished flashing zip and said ROM may flash stock recovery on boot but this can be undone! ! I was reluctant once again but I ok'd it and WALLA it rebooted normally with new 4.1.2 except it said update failed or interrupted I closed that screen opened voodoo rootkeeper restored rood and again WALLA root. I haven't tried to reboot to recovery yet but root seems fine and tablet is same as before update, exact same as if nothing ever happened. Need input because I'm not a developer just a flashaholic!

Ok flashed TWRP recovery and superSU and busybox from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43045886 using Odin 1.85 unchecking F.Reset Time. Works fine and and never had to factory reset during update process. All of this was done by just trying I guess, don't know if or how close I was to bricking so any info would be great. Just thought this whole process was interesting. Thanks goes to all the hardworking developers.

Wrong forum.
Als your tab seems fine then no need to post about it.
Also lol 1024 posts.
Maybe some can improve on process I was going to delete ..

Less complicated yes but I didn't have to factory reset either, and the OTA went through without having to un-root, Odin and Kies factory reset and sometimes OTA will not go through when rooted so I figured it was worth a look! Sorry for wrong forum! And thanks focussoft for instructions and links!

So I bought my Skyrocket about a year ago. It was rooted and running Embryo 3.0.
I upgraded it to Embryo 5 and even 7.
When upgrading to Embryo 7, my computer wouldn't detect the phone. I ended up deciding that the USB port on the phone was dead. So i just pu the ROM on a SD card and flashed through CWM.
Last week, I got a call and when I tired to answer it the phone froze. Upon reboot the phone got stuck on the Cymbaline logo.
I then decided to try and get it back to stock. I put it into ODIN mode and connected it to my PC. The ODIN software recognized it and i was able to flash it back to ATT stock JB.
Now Windows again fails to recognize the phone. Which is strange to me as I was able to flash through USB with ODIN.
My question is, how can I get a custom ROM such as Embryo 7 which I like a lot, onto the Skyrocket without being able to root the phone?

Thanks. But I already found that guide. Its for getting the phone back to stock with a dead USB port.
I've already gotten the phone back to stock, now I need to figure how to get it rooted and how to flash Embryo 7 back onto the phone.

I think embryo 7 has problems with the partitions getting corrupted somehow, so if you wanna be in the same boat again go ahead, but I suggest flashing something else. Does your phone still charge with a broken USB port??

It charges fine. Just when I connect it to Windows I can hear it connect, and a second later it disconnects.
It seems like a software issue though, because ODIN recognized the phone phone in Download mode. And I was able to flash to stock.
Ill have to check out some other ROMs then, I really liked Embryo.
Looks like I can put CWM back on through ODIN and then flash a ROM through CWM.
