4.3 and flashing Roms. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am on stock 4.3 with the Knoxed 4.3 boot loader. From everything I've read, I can still flash CWM and custom Roms, as long as they are 4.3+?

Nope, once on 4.3 you can not flash custom rom/kernel or cwm/twrp. Only thing you can do is root. There's a work around which very limited in custom TW rom flashing is safestrap. Also they're trying to hack the bootloader so that with safestrap you can flash more compatible custom rom. Right now don't flash anything or else you would brick your phone.

This thread is confusing, then.

Did Sprint lock their bootloader like Verizon and AT&T did?
Because to my understanding it was Verizon locking the bootloader that locked us down and not Knox.

Sprint doesn't have a locked bootloader like we do, the information about knox on that thread is very accurate. However, we have a locked bootloader so flashing roms or recoveries doesn't apply to us.

Would you mind posting some directions on how to get the Wanamlite Rom working? I tried flashing it earlier and got some some message about running software unauthorized by att, but I was able to boot into recovery and revert back to a backup.
Anyway to get autocorrect?
I thought international rom had it on the sammy keyboard..

Because he probably flashed with OUDHS which auto-loki'd it for him. It's not just ROMs that are compatible. Remember, it's the same hardware.

No reason why not. But twrp won't auto-loki right? If the ROM you flash is packaged with a kernel, you'll need to Loki patch it or flash that new Loki zip I saw afterwards. Then flash faux. On second thought, you probably wouldn't even need the Loki zip if you flash faux immediately after flashing the ROM.

From what I've been reading you can root but I'm not sure if you can root once your on 4.3. Custom roms aren't currently available once you take the OTA or there is a good possibility you can hard brick your phone

Yep I know that. Never been a fan of flashing ROMs anyway. I'm fine with stock rooted. It runs better and I get amazing battery life with the zerolemon

I followed the steps and was able to get root on 4.3 just fine as well. Thanks to everyone for helping me with that.
I do have a question....it might very well be a dumb question but I'm asking anyway,
I've installed Titanium backup and I have the update.zip that I created prior to reverting to stock and then taking the OTA. From what I understand I can't use custom recovery, which was the only way I knew how to flash that update.zip to restore my apps+data. So, how do I flash this update.zip with root on 4.3? Is this still possible?
Thanks again to all for the help.
Saferoot worked for me (its a method designed for galaxy s4). Although I wouldn't recommend it. It may or may not have been the cause of a hard brick for me, but I tried unlocking the bootloader after using it, which is probably what threw it.

No. Once you took the ota you lost the ability to flash other ROMs. Unless one of the Dev's cracks the lock bootloader or finds a way around.

[Q] I need the stock firmware, and I'm confused with what I found.

So I hard bricked my S3. I've been following a tutorial to fix it.
I couldn't find a download for the stock Verizon firmware, but then I found a list of downloads on "StockROMS.net" I can't link it... Sorry.
Which one do I pick? I hope this isn't a stupid question... I've never had to do this before.

Hold on a second.
Before you flash anything tell us what version you were running. No reason to lock your bootloader if you weren't on 4.3.
