I've never been one to flash a rom. Not even when I had my S3. I been thinking long and hard about flashing CM10. Do roms update automatically like a Verizon update does? Anything special I need to do before going into this mod if I do?

Yeah I am running the viper Rom for the Verizon droid DNA and I got pushed an update from Verizon? Is it ok for me to download that or should I not since I am running the Rom. Weird that it even got pushed to me I thought.. any help would be great thanks

If you want to use the update, I would just manually flash it, not download it OTA (of course, you wouldn't be using the custom ROM any more after doing that).
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 X from koodo and I was wondering if I can just straight up update my phone the way it is now through Samsung Kies when the JellyBean update arrives for my device in April? I have no custom roms NOR have I flashed anything on this device as far as I am concerned. The only thing I've done after rooting my phone is download root required apps on Google Play and APK files off the internet. I know for a fact that my root would disappear and I'm not concerned with that, since I don't want my phone to be rooted anymore anyways. So i figured I can hit two birds with one stone if I was able to update my phone and get rid of my root in the process. What's stopping me is that I have read that updating through kies while rooted can brick your phone. Or does that only happen if you have custom roms installed?
Don't you already have a thread about this?

Does is matter what galaxy s3 your using when installing CyanogenMod? For example, my friend has the CyanogenMod 10 rom but he has a galaxy s3 i9300 while i have sch-i535. Can i use his CyanogenMod rom?

No you can't. However you can go onto cm's website and download the one for this phone. Or follow the links in original android development section.

That's probably not a good idea, as the kernels are different between different carrier versions. Generally.
Flashing a rom for the international version is the fastest way to get a true brick. Jtag is the only way to fix. Flash roms for your version only.

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.

My girlfriend went full retard and installed the OTA 4.3 update for her S3. She uses Straight Talk, which works on the OTA 4.3 download. The only thing that doesn't work is 4G. She is stuck on edge. I think the best solution to getting 4G is to put a ROM on it BUT in order to do that I need to revert back to 4.2.1 or so. Any thoughts? I havent found anything on here that explains how to do so, but if I missed one please send me in the right direction.
AFAIK you are stuck on 4.3 but can use safestrap.

I looked on the development threads and didn't see any ROM's for safestrap

If you're on straight talk you can't use 4g. Even with safestrap you won't be able to use anything other than 4.3 TW roms
