[Q] Unauthorized System? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys. I just rooted my phone and I installed TWRP and I went to recovery and it said "Unauthorized System" or something like that. I realized that I didn't unlock the bootloader. But how do I put the stock recovery on my phone?

If on 4.3 update you can't at this time. Your bricked. If on 4.1.2 need to Odin the 4.1.2 tar and start over.

Yea. No way to fix until there is an Odin image or some one makes an Odin flashable stock recovery image.

Yea. Lucky you didn't try to downgrade back or unlock. Would have full brick. At least have a phone for now. You are better off than a lot of them on here.

If you have the blue recovery it sounds like your running ICS... If its distorted, sounds like you need to update your Bootloaders from froyo to Gingerbread bootloaders.. You can do a simple search and find a thread to do this with Odin or Heimdell..
As for your issue... You just need to flash the ICS kernel with Heimdell found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629079 - Just put your phone into download mode, open the executable ICS jar file and make sure it says connected and then click flash.. let it do its thing and it should boot just fine.
After I flashed it in download mode the device boots into cwm fine but when I do a normal boot the screen goes black.should I just reflash a rom

Oh..I see. What you're talking about are the rainbows effects.
You have to flash a GB boot loader.
See the op of cm9 or flash my whole uclb3 firmware and then flash again with the boot loader box checked. see the op for details

More information. What ROM, do you have a custom recovery? If you have stock recovery then the ota def updated itself. If your stock rooted then it will do that without asking

If you do not have a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) installed then yes it should install successfully.

And what if you do have a custom recovery installed? I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM for backups. Haven't done a custom rom yet -- just installed a few apps that required root.
Any ideas on what the OTA update will do?

I'm wondering the same thing...
The same as what happens on every other OTA, it will fail upon trying to install and you'll notice because your phone will be in CWM or TWRP.

And how do I disable CWM or TWRP? I used EZ-Recovery & EZ-Unlock originally. I see a "stock" option in EZ-Recovery. Would I select that, hit flash, then select reboot recovery? And on EZ-Unlock would I just select the "lock" option?
Thanks!

FYI: Just read this over at Droid Life:
"For anyone interested, I was rooted and had EZ-Recovery installed. When my S3 rebooted it went to the recovery after the update "failed". It gave me the option to apply the zip and I did so. and it even asked me if I wanted to fix root (I did not do this part). When the phone booted it stated that the update had failed, but in checking my Android version is definitely says 4.1.1."

Use EZ Recovery to flash the stock recovery. No need to re-lock your bootloader since the OTA should do that for you if you haven't installed anything that would cause it to fail like Google Wallet or CWM/TWRP.
I know many people prefer to Odin to a stock ICS image then take all the OTA's so that's another option for you as well.

[Q] Phone will not boot

Hello,
So I was trying to flash back to stock after a failed attempt with cyanogenmod 10.1, and stupid me accidentally hit the phone button in Odin. Now my phone will start up, show me the "galaxy s3" screen and not do anything after that. Furthermore, my suspicion is that my home button does not work (even though it was working perfectly fine this morning). Because of this, I can't enter into download mode. My phone is effectively bricked. Any help or suggestions?
Randomly got it to go into download mode after hooking it up to the wall charger. Fingers crossed.
Even after this, it still won't boot correctly.

What did you do after you got it into download mode? You're going to need to Odin back to a full stock ROM

I plugged the phone into my computer and chose the correct file under pda. Then once everything seemed ready, I hit start. Odin gave me a "pass" and everything.

I need Help Fast, Soon, Asap!!!

Alright, first off ill tell you how I ****ed up. I had a problem with my phone after putting a new rom on it. I didn't get any signal. So I did the smart thing and made an account on here and asked for help, said I should flash a modem and gave me links to it all. The only thing I did wrong was, I PICKED THE WRONG PHONE SECTION. I am using a Skyrocket 1727 and was in the 1777 Section. Now whenever I boot my phone it stays stuck at the first screen that says Samsung and my model info and stuff. I can boot into ClockworkMod still. Can somebody please help me for I have ****ed up royally.
Yea, you f'd up. You could try to push a correct Rom onto your device using adb and see if you can flash that in cwm. Or you could try to odin the stock Rom.

I don't think I explained this correctly, I installed PAC-Man ROM v22.2 perfectly fine but didn't get any signal so I was told I should flash a modem. I flashed the modem and that's when I ran into this problem.

Ok, that's different. You flashed the modem from the i777? Get the i727 ucmc1 radio and flash that in cwm.

Dirty flashing is just doing so without performing a factory reset. You could wipe cache and dalvik just to be safe, though.
