Verizon Galaxy S3 root error - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I believe I was on Android version 4.21 rooted, messing around in the settings I accidentally clicked on check for update, I meant to tap the don't update and clicked on the wrong button. Now I am on version 4.3 and it shows the superuser icon but keeps giving me this error. Has anyone been able to fix it ?

There is an entire thread dedicated to it. People have managed to get root, but the bootloader gets locked. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
And a correction to your statement: you're on Android 4.1.2. Not 4.2.1.

Yes, you are right, I was in the 4.12, just noticed that typing error. If it's not to much trouble can you point me in the right direction to the other thread. Thanks

Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

Whenever I try to do a Software Update on my phone, the screen turns black and then a second later a notice pops up saying "Unfortunately, settings has stopped". I am running CleanROM 3.0 on an Android version of 4.0.4.
If there is anything else to mention please let me know.

I have to disagree, this will not help. Color Green is trying to check for OTA's via Settings/About Phone/Software Update
Color Green, why are you trying to do a software update on a custom rom? Scrosler (CleanRom dev) removed the file that allows you to check for Verizon OTA's. Pretty much every dev does something similar. This happens on purpose so you do not receive constant OTA prompts. If you want a software update, Odin to stock and accept them. No custom rom will allow you to successfully update via OTA.

I am actually kind of new to this so I didn't know that setting was disabled. Thanks for the info.

Ahh ok. The file that was removed is "sdm1.0" and there's possibly another file as well. Even if that file was present and you were able to "receive" an OTA prompt, it would fail because you have a custom recovery installed. That same custom recovery you used to flash CleanRom is the same one preventing Verizon OTA's from automatically installing.

Never ever OTA on a custom ROM.
Just like previous guy said, if you want to OTA you need to Odin back to stock. There a guide in the development section called "how to root and more" or something. Follow section 6 of that guide to Odin. It's a very simple process. I'm pretty sure you lose root, boot loader gets locked and your custom recovery goes away.

If I wanted to upgrade to 4.2 do I have to wait until cleanrom is updated to 4.2?

yeah....you'll have to wait for the dev to cook in the 4.2 upgrades......the first ones to ever get the upgrades implemented is AOSP/AOKP roms because they're essentially barebones android, but with some added tweaks
in the case of the jump from 4.1.1/4.1.2 to 4.2, not much is being added except for the new camera with fully functioning libs, fully upgraded gapps, a new 4.2 keyboard w/ gesture typing, and a few other things as well as polishing up things that are already present that needed polishing from 4.1.1

WTF Is This Lock Icon? (Post JB)

On my lockscreen. I haven't seen this on any JB ROM I've ever ran. Can I get rid of it?

Umm.... How many ROMs have you ran and which? I think that's a stock TW icon, I have it on beans 6 with TW as my launcher.

It is part of the VZW modifications. You must have root to remove it.
Navigate to "/system/csc/" and rename "customer.xml" to "customer.bak".
Restart your phone. The Lock icon and "verizon wireless" text will be gone from your lockscreen, and you will also have the bubble notifications back.

Is there a way to manually disable the help dialog? I unchecked the option on my lockscreen settings but I'm still getting it. Anything I can freeze or an extension I can alter?
Edit: Freezing Help 1.0 with TiBU worked.

I performed this trick, and the lock icons were removed. However, I also lost 4g when this was done. Is that normal? I restored customer.xml and got 4g back immediately...

FYI, not only did I lose 4g, but I also would not connect to that tower at all. I was stuck on 3g with 1-2 bars. Restoring it got me back to 4g with 4-5 bars.

[Q] HELP! How to stop "software update" from installing

I was awakened to my Verizon S3 saying it was about to install a software update. I fear this is the Jelly Bean os and I don't want it yet. I wanted to cancel the install but it only let me delay it. I've been searching for a few days but no luck finding a guide. It's going to install tonight if I don't stop it. I let my Fascinate upgrade and it went to crap.
My phone is rooted stock.
Model:SCH-I535
OS: 4.0.4
Baseband: I535VRLHE
Kernel: 3.0.8-1092717
Build: IMM76D.I535VRALHE

Yup, rooted and unlocked. Froze the file, now what? What will happen when the installer tries to install it. When I look at the update in settings now, it freezes up and force closes.

Then you're all set, that's supposed to happen. It won't prompt you to update later or at worst it won't prompt you after the time you specified it to remind you.

Updated to VRBMV1 - MIssing Multiwindow

I was on VZWBLK3 for awhile as I haven't been using the GS3 after getting a new phone. So today I went to update it and it updated from VZWBLK3 to the latest VRBMV1. The previous update was supposed to bring Multi-window from what I read. But it's NOT on my phone and the update went smoothly.
It's not in settings and it's not in the notification bar toggles. There's no EDIT feature for the toggles either. I tried booting into recovery mode and doing a factory reset and it's still not there.
Anyone have any clue why this is happening or what I should do?
Try holding your back key for a few seconds to activate it...you'll see a tab on left side of screen

Yea I know how to activate it... but if it's not in the settings and not in my notification toggles then obviously that won't work either. (I tried)
I just checked again and I'm on VRBMB1 instead of VRBMF1... but it said it was updated to latest version... does it update one by one or does it skip to the latest version?
I thought the update with multi window was MF1, not MV1?

Probably just hasn't pushed to your phone yet. You can skip one, doesn't need to be one by one. My gf just got the MF1 update a couple days ago.

Sneakin' the update

Currently stock unrooted 4.1.2 for some tests. When I odin'ed back to 4.0.4, I went to settings, about phone, system updates: check for updates and it popped up per usual saying I had an update. I said yes and it preceeded to download. When it had finished it asked another pop up asked to update with the freshly downloaded software. Where does that downloaded software get stored? I wanted to download the new 4.3 system update so I could copy it to my computer and get to investigating but after I download it, I do NOT want to update my phone with it. Wary of anything to do with it because it has locked down and bricked a lot of peoples devices now. Links, pointers, suggestions and all greatly appreciated. Just saw some of the members discussing the dwv blocks which turned me on to this idea.

OTA updates save to /Cache/FOTA after they are downloaded. Btw, we have two 4.3 threads in the General section devoted to our latest OTA. One is titled 4.3 discussion thread and the other is titled along the lines of "4.3 is arriving in October." Both have plenty of discussion going on and are your best bet on following progress on the 4.3 OTA.

Thank you! I've actually been following both of the threads to the letter but this side project of mine is more of a personal nature. If things prove conclusive then I will report findings. Need to take a gander at the low-level code written in C.

Do you know if it is safe to check for update, when it says there is one for 4.3, download it and when it is finished downloading, adb pull it onto computer and never select install?

Excluding the ADB part, that's what I did lol I switched to my rooted VRBMF1 rom and did so. OTAs are a two step process. First, it asks if you want to download the update and then once it downloads you'll receive another popup asking if you want to install it at which point you can select Later or Install now. If you stay on stock though, and if you move that update.zip from /Cache, it will repeatedly ask you later to download again so freeze/rename system app "sdm 1.0" if you don't want it to autoinstall if you're asleep or away for too long.
