[Q] how important is it to restore your bootchain after root?

Hey guys, I was wanted to root my gs3 using this guide [GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 5/29*** - xda-developers but for step 6 where you flash the bootchain the only bootchain versions offered are for 4.1.2 are VRBMB1 and VRBMD3. I have Verizon and have baseband version VRBMF1. I know that that step is optional but how important is it? After rooting I am wanting to flash to an aosp 4.2.2 rom or a cyanogenmod 10.1 rom. Will I still be able to do this if I don't restore the bootchain? Also on an unrelated question , i know that the stock android camera doesnt have the option to save pictures to the sd card, Will I be able to do this on a stock android rom? Thank you all for your help

Not very important to flash the bootchain at all. Yes, you can flash whatever rom, kernel, or mod regardless of your bootchain's status.
Also on an unrelated question , i know that the stock android camera doesnt have the option to save pictures to the sd card, Will I be able to do this on a stock android rom? Thank you all for your help

Not sure I understand your question cuz you used the phrase "stock android rom" as a comparison to itself. Do you mean "I know stock android (per a Nexus device) does not have an option to save to external sdcard so does AOSP on the GSIII have this option by default?" If you meant this, I don't believe JB 4.3 roms on our device support it natively. I'm not sure about JB 4.2.2 roms. For example, I've been using Slim Bean beta (AOSP 4.3) since Saturday and there's no setting to save to external sdcard cuz it uses the 4.3 camera. I imagine more of AOSP is like this. More responses will be helpful.

[Q] Loop after flashing

Hi everyone,
A friend of mine has a S2 Plus.
She asked to root it and flash a custom rom.
Rooted it (4.1.2) > Installed CMW > Flashed the 4.4.2 Resurrection Remix® Kitkat rom
But when I start the phone it won't get further than the screen where it says "Samsung i9105p".
What did I wrong and how can I fix it ? Do I need to flash something special to get to 4.4.2 ?
I tried wipe data/cache, Dalvik ect.
Greetings
Glenn

Now I read that I need to flash a 4.2 bootloader. Where can I get one ?

Nice work. Yes u need 4.2 bootloader. Go to sammobile firmwares section, give phone's model number(gt-i9105/p) download 4.2.2 android version and flash it ur friend's phone with odin. Then flash custom recorvery(u don't need root) and flash remix rom

I think you did not correctly flashed the custom rom. But to resolve the problem you can flash the stock rom of galaxy y s5360 via cwm.
See this thread:

You can also flash stock ROM and get beck to where ever you are.. This method is done by PC.. Using Odin.

Odin method is difficult and time consuming as compared to flashing through cwm

4.3 baseband Xperia M2 dual D2302

Hello guys! (I'm still a noob)
I'm having trouble about the baseband version after installing cm12.1 and they said that the problem is my bb version and I need to flash 4.3 bb version before I can flash lollipop/mm ROM
So my question is where can I download the 4.3 bb version so I can flash lp/mm ROM
PS: my phone can't detect my sim card after installing cm12.1 that's why I made this thread
