Well, if he doesn't have issue with signal, then you shouldn't have to flash the new ML1 modem. If you want to flash it anyway then here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313
There are a bunch of custom rom, either TouchWiz custom rom or just custom rom you can choose from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/development
If you want to stay away from bugs, pick the one that close to stock rom as much as possible.

What is your baseband? If your is already MF1 (I think you are), then just download the ML1 zip and flash it.

So Im ready to go through and flash a ROM finally but I just want to make sure I do things right. I have clockwork mod and have made a backup already. After I download the ROM do they come with different kernels or can I use stock? Also what is a good stable ROM to start with? Id like to get a jellybean one but I have seen one with a lot of bugs still. Any help would be great
Tap'n
9Start with clean rom + clean kernel . This is a good dose to start.
Once you feel comfortable and would like a higher dose
Then move to beans or synergy ..here you can mix and match kernels and roms
Beans comes with imos kernel
Synergy comes with ziggys kernel
Mix and match kernels for your perfect combination
By now you are probably craving a rom with daily updates
Cm10 paranoidandroid AOKP are 3 roms with daily updates
Here youll find imos aosp kernel and kt kernel that go hand in hand with aosp.
By now the first leak of VZW touchwiz jellybean should be hitting the interwebs to take care of any addiction that may ensue. Happy flashing.

Thanks for the help. Now if I were to cwm back to my backup of stock does that reinstall my stock kernel?
Tap'n
yep
So do I flash the .zip of the ROM first then the kernel then reboot? Cause I tried beans but you can use stock kernel with it cause my bootloader isn't unlocked

Just download ezunlock from the market to unlock your bootloader. No reason to keep it locked.

Well I heard if its unlocked then it can brick you if you OTA. Or does the lock button actually re-lock it?

yeah it can, just never accept and OTA and you'll be good. Plus since you want to install custom roms, your going to need custom recovery. These block otas from happening even if it was automatically pushed to your phone.
The lock button does relock it.

If you're going into custom roms there's not really much reason to accept OTA anyway.

almost all custom roms dont allow the pop up about a OTA anyways so you should be clear
Ive used Synergy v1.7, and CleanRom 2.0/CleanKernel 1.0 is way better and smoother than Synergy. Im thinking about upgrading to Beans..but im not sure I want to do that yet till all the bugs are worked out of the different Roms to choose from now.
I am running stock jelly bean rom with air kernel and I want to get back to stock kernel. How would I do that?
Just flash your rom again, no wiping required

Ok so I just flash the last OTA update I had which was the 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 update?
This one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736645
No, you flash the full ROM. Not just the OTA update.
Where is the full jelly bean 4.1.1 rom? Sorry I couldnt find it.
And are you positive this process doesnt wipe that?
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Make sure to grab the correct one. Flash with fastboot. Obviously your bootloader has to be unlocked, which I imagine is already the case.
Nothing should be lost as long as you don't wipe data.
Ah so this is what I have to do?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307
And yes my bootloader is unlocked.
Btw which kernel do you suppose is the closest to stock kernel? The reason why I want to do this is because I wanted to see just how does the stock kernel compare with air kernel but it seems like it isnt as simple a thing as I thought it would be to go back to stock kernel.
as i know there is no stock kernel standalone instalation package. So the only way to get back to stock kernel is to flash the whole ROM again.
For my purposes showed as the best kernel thalamus kernel.
Thanks for all the info guys. I have one more question just for future information purposes. Do you get an OTA update if you are on custom kernel?

I just re-uploaded the ROM with stock kernel on my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881858
That will reset your kernel to stock. Sorry I don't have a separate kernel zip to flash.
If I install my compete ROM again (its Cyanogenmod), do I have to install the Gapps again too?

Better you install Gapps too... Else you'll be devoid of Google services...

I have not flash any Roms in a while because I found Avatar Rom was stable for my phone. But since I had trouble with GPS lock, I needed to restore it to stock ICS 4.0 ATT. And then I rooted it and installed TWRP 2.6.1.0. After that, I tried to flash a new ROM, which was [ROM] [4.3} CyanFox (CM-10.2 with extras) 10-05-2013, but it couldn't flash. Tried to flash Avatar Rom stable verison 4.2.2, but failed again. Here is a picture of the error. I don't know what is wrong with my phone.

I've been using this skyrocket for 2 years.
Let me try installing the jb radio. Thank you.

Exactly that. You see those lines that say "radio test?" they're checking for the latest 4.1 radio. Download and flash ucmc1 and reboot, then you can reboot to recovery and flash any 4.3 or 4.2 rom.

Thanks again. You were right. Installing ATT official Jelly Bean with new radio helps.

Only 4.3 where you only can root that's it because it locked the bootloader, anything else you can root/flash custom rom/kernel/recovery.

What was your previous full rom before you roll back to 4.0 (ICS)? Once you on one of these JB ROM: 4.1/, 4.1.2/ or 4.2.2 you can flash any custom or modded rom.(4.3 or 4.4 custom rom).
