First of all I apologize if this has been brought up before in other posts. I am in a mixture of frustration and panic right now because I tried upgrading to ICS on my Rogers SGS2 LTE, and it failed.
Using Kies, I followed the prompts, and for whatever reason it didn't finish. Now when I boot up the phone, it keeps telling me to use the recovery mode option in Kies. However, if I do try to use recovery mode, it always times out and tells me I may need to contact a Samsung service center. The computer has no problem communicating with the phone, AFAIK.
Basically, I'm here to ask what options I have. Currently, i'm trying to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 , but because the stock TAR is taking a long time to download, I'm asking if I have any other options. I would like to keep the data on my phone, but if I have to wipe it to return it to normal I'm willing to do that.
Please help.
Reboot and try again

Are you rooted? Are you running the stock recovery that came on the phone? If your rooted and have apps that are froze or your running a modded recovery like cwm you must flash back to stock or kies will not ever work

I've tried rebooting the computer I was using, and I've also tried another computer with no luck. I got the latest Kies on the other computer, connected the phone with no problem, and tried recovery mode on THAT 2nd computer, but it didn't work because it didn't recognize my recovery code that the first computer gave me.

I *think* I was rooted. I remember doing something a long time ago involving odin. I never installed Cyanogenmod or any other 3rd party roms.
I had Superuser under my apps, if that helps.
I wish I could reply sooner but this board is making me wait 5 mins between posts. Sorry. It's like I'm in the emergency room with a gunshot wound and I'm waiting for the doctor to finish his smoke break, then his coffee break, then washroom break, jesus
by CWM, I think you're asking about Clockwordmod? If so, yes, I had that on my phone. Does this mean I can't use the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 to fix my phone now? Or can I still proceed.
If you have superuser then most likely you are rooted and since you have clockworkmod especially then kies is not gonna update your phone. Your on Rodgers so you need to find the stock firmware and flash it. I'm on att or I could link you to one that would work. I got my stock firmware from Samsung website. Try going to sammobile and see if you can find the stock firmware for your phone. I'm sure since its Samsung they should have Rodgers firmware to. Download the stock firmware and flash it in Odin onto to your phone and then kies should work. If you can't find the stock firmware at sammobile then look for the stock firmware here on xda I'm sure someone on Rodgers has it....
Edit. The link up there to Odin back to stock should work. Just download the file and follow the steps in order and don't leave one out. There are no shortcuts when it comes to flashing a phone or it could be rendered useless for anything more than a paperweight. Konane is real good and would not lead anyone wrong....

Just flashed it via Kies, had to use ODIN by flashing stock, Odin wouldn't work till I rebooted my computer, then once Kies updated, I had had a error ( com.Android.phone stopped) but I cleared data and cache in 3e, then everything worked.

I just wanted to post a follow-up. I followed the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 and it fixed me phone. Best of all, I didn't lose anything.
I would still like to get ICS on my phone. I noticed on Sammobile's site that there is a firmware for 4.04 that was released recently. Would I somehow be able to use that, combined with Odin, to get ICS on my phone? In other words, follow all the steps in the aforementioned thread, except, use this newer firmware file? Sorry I realize this may sound like a dumb noob question, but I want to make sure I do things right.
Thanks for all the help btw.

If you're back to stock and on Rogers, you should be able to update using Kies.
The thing is, when Odin fixed my phone, it didn't remove Superuser, so doesn't that mean my phone isn't stock anymore? I was expecting Odin to basically reset my phone back to factory settings, but it seems to have just reverted it back to before I tried updating to ICS with kies.

If you go into 3e or cwm if you still have it, you should be able to clear cache and data, so after that Kies should recognize it and start the download

I haven't used the stock 3e that much always just flash cwm but I would suggest that you do a factory data reset to from the recovery if 3e gives that option I've never used it so I'm not sure. But if you are still on cwm recovery kies will not ever update your phone until you put everything back stock. You must have just flashed the kernel only. Flashing just the kernel does not wipe anything you need to flash the stock firmware from sammobile in Odin and that will do a full wipe and restore everything to stock

Sorry but what is 3e? The only place i see cwm mentioned is under the rom manager app, but when i launch it rom manager says i don't have a rooted device and super user can't be found. Weird thing is i see super user as an app on my phone.

Turn the phone off. Hold both volume up and volume down and hold the power button do not release the volume buttons yet. Pressing all 3 buttons when you first see the screen come on mine shows an att logo then release the power button only. The phone will then boot into either 3e stock recovery or cwm recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
OK, I did what you said, and I see 3e and the option to wipe data/factory reset. So you're recommending I do this BEFORE i try to use Odin and the latest firmware for Sammobile?
Just out of curiosity, if I didn't do a reset before flashing using Odin, what would happen?

Hi guys.
So I am very new to the Verizon Galaxy S3, and I didn't see this question anywhere that I looked in this section so forgive me anyways if it has been posted before.
After flashing the cm10 nightly from 2012-10-05 (October 5) I got the unauthorized software notice and I can't get it to go away.
Does anybody know how to reset it?
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

You will have to Odin back to stock and start over. That message means you did not unlock your bootloader.

I did unlock my bootloader. But now that I can't tether it might be a while to download the 1.2GB file. Thanks man!
If you used ez unlock, there is a chance u had the version that wasnt unlocking properly. That message def comes from flashing custom kernel and a secure aboot in my experience. I think the version everyone said for sure works was 1.2.

I had to use 1.1 cause 1.2 wouldn't open on my phone. :/
Yep, the dreaded triangle. I had use EZ Unlock v1.4 and it screwed me. Use v1.2 or v1.0 I had to Odin back to stock and start from there. All is running well now.
This was how I got it back to stock (rooted). I had to use that special tip in the grey box to work for mine.
I remember when I had this happen to me. I was a total noob at flashing when I got my S3. Tried to install some rom with custom kernel and kept getting this at reboot. Didn't know anything about unlocking bootloader
A month later and I'm a pro... Well maybe not a pro, but no more triangle of death!
At the time, though, I nearly **** my pants lol.

Had this happen to me last weekend. I thought my boot loader was unlocked but it turned out the superuser app I flashed (which I thought was an updated one) didn't have the thing to unlock the boot loader. Basically I just rooted and assumed I had it unlocked... Then flashed MOAR and after aroma froze 5 times and finally got the whole way through i met mr triangle. Haha

Don't flash anything in Odin. Once on TW 4.3, you're permanently on TW 4.3 because of Knox bootloader. You have the potential to brick your device if you flash anything in Odin.

After which step did you see this yellow triangle? Could you be very specific? Did the ICS tar flash successfully? Cuz from what I understand with 4.3 on other carrier's S3, once you're on TW 4.3 you can't downgrade. I want to tell you to flash VRBMF1 jellybean stock firmware since you've already flashed ICS firmware with no hard brick.

I tried flashing the VRALEC bootchain first, and it took, but then threw the yellow triangle. After that I tried loading VRALF2 stock firmware and it did not give any errors. I tried again with VRALEC bootchain with no success. Then tried VRALF2 bootchain and VRBMD3 bootchain. I can boot into stock recovery and Odin, but that's all.

We don't know. That means bootloader is locked. It would have to be Odin again. If got that with stock tar could be brick. If try to unlock may get hard brick. You kinda past the point of no return. Can try to Odin another newer one like MF1 and see what happens. It is saying the kernel is not compatible. Can't clear that message anyway without another stock Odin. Can't unlock with that message anyway. It's too late.

I flashed back to stock rooted ICS (root66) backup that I have via TWRP. Z NOT via Odin.
Once I was on ICS I did the 2767.. trick and it rebooted my phone, I then flashed back to Clean ROM and still have the issues..
Do I need to UN root and lock via Odin and then try this thing?

You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

Follow thoes 2 guides and youll be good, it worked for me
Just make sure that you unlock your bootloader again and reflash cwm from rom manager
Also be prepared to reflash the cm10 nighty from get.cm (make sure it is 10 not 10.1) because verison will push a software update without even going into setting/about phone/software update
Last of all you will need to update your baseband/modem

I found a quick fix
Ok here is how to fix it I just sorta stumbled upon this.. Re flash cm10.1 when it is first activating either pull your sim or go into airplane mode by pulling down with two fingers from the top and accesing quick settings. then finish the setup over wifi- turn the phone off pop your sim out and put it back in and reboot. now when you take off airplane mode it should be fixed but it wont activate so just use Odin and re-flash root66

i had the same problem, flash back to the stock rom and dial *2767*3855# it will re-provision your phone and you wont be roaming any longer
How to Fix maybe
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated.

This worked for me and i was in the same situation as you
Please help me!!!!!!
I have the same issue with the roaming and am not able to make calls, txt, or data. I have dont all of these steps. Back to stock and put the magic number in an still the same. Thank you in advance

Start at the beginning. When you rooted your phone what ROM/build were you on? Stock? What Recovery are you running? Did you make a backup? In my experience, you usually get a system 7 error when the download is bad, (did you check the MD5?) or if you're trying to flash a ROM that doesn't match your current system (IE: trying to flash a JB ROM when you're currently on ICS.)
The more info we have, the better we can help you.

Uh status 7 is assert protection so its a mismatch usually in device info typically model numbers, and has nothing to do with bad downloads.

I had a stock rom on it and found a youtube video referencing the how to guide in this forum, walked everything through step by step but didn't do the twrp thing, only odin . Tried it, didn't work. Didn't checkthe MD5 as it wasnt referenced in the video (have since seen it in the thread).
I'm gonna try and flash a stock rom with odin if I can and start over and ignore the youtube video.
At the moment Odin is the only program on my computer that talks to my phone so I'm hoping that works, just gotta find how to do it...

At the moment Odin is the only program on my computer that talks to my phone so I'm hoping that works, just gotta find how to do it...

thanks, on it now. Just need to get it back to stock with Odin then I'll try again when I understand what I'm doing more.
Anyone feeling charitable and want to tell me how to flash the stock rom with Odin? I'd appreciate it.

Best of luck mate, reply here if you have any issues. And for pete's sake, next time, instead of watching a YouTube video, read read read and re-read the forums. Once that's done, read them again. Only then, start flashing.

That's an alternate form of DL mode. Odin a stock ROM from that screen. Read the Noobs Guide. Odin is finicky so pay attention to the guide. Then read it again. Once you've read and comprehend it all spin in a circle saying "I deserve this" three times and Odin will grant your wish. lol

Got it working, used TWRP to flash the latest RC CM 10.1
Got it all going now after a minor heart attack and a few more grey hairs. Just gotta figure out why the wifi isn't working at all now. Can't get it to turn on.
Your original 'system error 7' problem was most likely caused by trying to flash a newer ROM with an older version of CWM or TWRP. Glad you got the phone up, can't help you with the wifi problem, sorry. Although, what modem did you flash, if any? System Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version?

I flashed the UXUMA7 radio, didnt really do much, it worked before.
Still can't figure out the Wifi though :-/ just straight up won't turn on.
If you are on a newer CM 10.1 , the only supported radio is UCMC1, UXUMA7 is really old. That may be why wifi is not working.
UXUMA7 and UCMC1 are very similar. First one is the Rogers and second is att's release which is usually late by a month or so after rogers. Bottom line both will work.
Have your radiofile.zip, cm10.1.zip, and gapps from 20130301 all on your SD card.
Do you have a back up, nandroid? If not do it now.
Go to recovery and Clean up well:
Go to mounts and format data, system, cach twice or three times. Go to advanced and clean dalvik cache. Don't reboot
Now installing in this order:
- radio
-cm10.1
-gapps
Now reboot your phone.
Wait until it is finished and leave it untouched for 10 minutes to settle down and do its thing.
Then turn it off back on and enjoy.
Your noob status will start to fade if you do a clean install :thumbup:

So after seeing KitKat in action, I hunted down an Android phone eligible for a KitKat ROM. I traded my iPhone for a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (i535) I got it rooted and CWM on it just fine, and the boot loader unlocked. (or so I thought) Went into recovery and did all the steps to install the ROM, got it installed, along with G-Apps and rebooted. My phone came to a screen saying
"system software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."
As far as I can tell, the boot loader was not successfully unlocked. So, it's back to stock ROM via Odin, right? :laugh:
NO! All the guides I find say to download an app to reset the binary counter. How do I do that if I have no OS to boot to?
Any Ideas? Did my enticement for KitKat get the best of me?
You shouldn't need triangle away to Odin back to stock. Triangle away would be for if you were trying to take your phone back to Verizon or Samsung for warranty work and didn't want them to know it was previously rooted.

Follow the instructions in section 5 of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. This will get you back to stock and unrooted. Then you will have to do the root unlock processs again.

and or use the casual all in one tool and follow root, and flash insecure aboot then download Rom manager from google play and install latest CWM
I just had my s3 replaced under warranty. The new one, I used casual to root/unlock, etc. Worked great! I think I let casual install everything then flashed CM from recovery.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but once you get it back to functional and rooted, I would recommend you try out some of the wonderful custom TouchWIz ROMs on the forum here. They have most of if not more features than are in Kit Kat and there are no fully functional Kit Kat ROMSs for the S3 yet. Plus thse ROMs are stable and all your Samsung features will work properly . MORA, Hyperdrive, Synergy, and Jelly "beans" are good examples of excellent ROMs.
So I figured out what went wrong, and I'm still kicking myself for how stupid of problem it was. The reason Odin didn't want to work was because I was using the front USB ports on my system, which are not USB 2.0... I spent 6 hours trying to figure it out. So I hooked it up to a rear USB port, flashed it back to stock ROM, redid the Root, unlocked bootloader (which I didn't do in the first place) and now I'm getting Cyanogenmod on it.
Thanks everyone for the help! I hope anyone else who comes across this who where in the same boat I was can figure it out.
Sometimes it's a user-error.

i know you say you are ROOT but why dont you check using ROOT CHECKER download it from the play store its gonna tell you if you are root or not. im using sspencer10 KITKAT 4.4 CM11 and is running pretty smooth why don't you try it out just download the .zip reboot into RECOVERY i preffer you use TWRP (last version) go to whipe>advanced wipe and clear, Dalvik Cache>System>Data>Cache (optional i alwayz check mark Internal storage looking for space and alwayz make a clean flash same as Format Data) make sure you backup everything first using Titatinium Backup go back, then go to Install search for your .zip file on ur SDCard or Internal Storage first select the ROM ADD MORE FILE and add the GAPPS click REBOOT SYSTEM AND ENJOY YOUR NEW KITKAT 4.4 CM11 ON YOUR SGS3.
Don't be scared of Kit Kat! Once u get ur issues figured out and get 4.4 up and running you will see its all worth it!
