I wish there was a "like" and a "thanks" button.

well that stinks. ok well thanks for the reply. perhaps in the future then.

also hoping for this
well all of us waiting for this for us to make our bolt the best..

Need help freaking out a little. Soft brick?

Ok so I was trying to root my S3 and something went wrong. I was on the first step. I had just got done transferring the super user package, then went to flash the first package. It went gave me a green box in Odin then nothing from the phone. It made the disconnect sound and then Odin wouldn't recognize it. The phone will not turn on at all. When I plug it into the computer it beeps twice real fast. Any ideas.

what did you do?

Well when I was on step two and went to flash that file I didn't realize my file said. .tar.tar instead of .tar.md5
But you said me by letting me know I can send it out to be fixed.

well I hope you get things resolved. I guess you'll be a bit more careful in the future. If you do finally get things up and running you'll have a blast with all that is out there for your phone. but be warned, this stuff is addicting

Just finished reading another thread saying the qhsusb means hard brick sorry to hear it.

[Q] Rooted and now having trouble flashing VZW roms??

I bought a rooted gs3 on EBAY...
It is running liquidsmooth rom.. I have tried flashing some other VZW roms (esp. want to try out kit-kat roms) and I get an error during the flashing process..
See attached image...
Did I get taken on Ebay??? Not sure what I am doing wrong...
Thanks in advance for any help

I just reloaded and the image is showing now, but here is what concerns me about the error msg:
"This package is for "d2vzw" devices: This is a "d2spr".
I was sold a verizon SCH-I535..
The sticker under the battery says it's a SCH-I535
so i am a little confused by the error msg during the flashing process

You're on Sprint?

You are mistaken. Your recovery stated "This package is for 'd2vzw' devices; this is a 'd2spr'". Your phone is Sprint, my friend...

Go to Settings, About Phone, and look at the model number.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Either it's your build.prop OR its the recovery cuz that's an outdated CWM. You'll need to update it to at least CWM 6.0.4.x to flash any KitKat rom. Just triple check that you see SCH-I535 d2vzw in the build.prop (which is in /System) before going further. I find it hard to believe the seller perfectly replaced the sticker behind the battery.

That is weird. It could be the build.prop or out dated cwm. What version of CWM are you running?

The cwm recovery is too outdated needs to be the latest to flash 4.4 ... But yes odd statement by the recovery failure

Could be mistaken, but that looks like a knockoff s3 to me.
edit: Sticker looks wrong (no samsung logo), just doesn't look right and it's not making sense why it's acting like that. If you bought the phone for cheap on Ebay then it makes sense for it to be a fake. Fake one looks very similar to the real thing.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

I would say Update your recovery to a newer version of CWM, TWRP, or Philz.

I have 2 s3's that I purchased from Verizon directly. I would have never compared stickers but for your question. For your reference, here's what the stickers look like.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Did you put the black part on your sticker? I crossed out the imei and bar code on mine, but yours definitely looks different. That information should be visible to you on yours (don't share it here if it is). If you didn't put that on there I'd almost guarantee something fishy about that seller our the phones origin.

Usually the knock offs don't have Samsung at the top though. Definitely something fishy.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I don't know what your plans are for this phone now, but I was just thinking, they are building roms for d2lte (I tried cm11 and vanir, both kitkat). The d2lte builds are the same for all carriers, meaning you don't have to select a Rom file specific for your carrier. Maybe try flashing one of those? imho, vanir is pretty sweet.

LS 2.37 a good rom.. Like the above post stated now they making an universal build LTE. This reminds me of the fones u win at those 50cent or dollar machine at stores. Knock off samsung fones

I updated my recovery and now all is good.... Well I think so anyway..
I have been able to flash OmniRom and Cyanogen without anymore problems..
Wondering if I got a refurb or a grey market I535?
I haven't put my sim card in yet to activate phone...

Thats good to hear.. Maybe a knockoff fone. But as long it works and u can make calls txt etc then thats good

Yes, I blacked out the sticker myself in paint.net.. Didn't want to put out any identifying info that shouldn't be out there

[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.

if nobody else has what you need, I've got a CWM backup you could restore, then boot TWRP and make a fresh backup with it so you'll be ready when OTA updates start rolling out.

I placed this on the SD card and tried to backup from CWM recovery and the MD5 didn't match. Any ideas? Currently trying to get stock back on...somewhere along the lines I lost the ability to make and receive calls. Hoping this will fix it.

Yeah that would be great
