Ight guys like the title says I need help on getting my gs3 back to where I can unlock my bootloader.. when I had first got the phone I was able to root and unlock and then as u all know about Verizon forcing update on our phones it happened to mine.. so I went ahead and rooted the phone with no problem and then downloaded the ez-unlock and it says that my bootloader is unlocked but it doesn't let me lock it but anyways I downloaded the cm10 nightly and gapps and when I flashed it and when I rebooted it it went to a message saying that I have downloaded a unauthorized software and that I had to take it to Verizon... so I did the whole system flash think and went back to stock the. Rooted again and the ez app tells me that my bootloader is still unlocked so I powers off and went to the downloading thing on boot up and at the bottom it shows a quadcomm secureboot. Enabled is they why I cant flash cm10??

Yes, if you have an older version or wait for them to update the current one.

Just look at the version number and Google it, sometimes older builds will pop. Good luck

Right now it's version 1.3. Is that the bad one?

I have downloaded several files, apps, and programs, and I have been searching all over the internet,but I can only enter download mode. bootload will not work it shows the blue letters, but goes black afterwards, and then reverts back to the verizon lock screen. I have Odin, and I have downloaded

If you have taken the 4.3 OTA, you cannot unlock your bootloader. Any attempt to do so will brick your device. If you have already attempted it this thread will most likely help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
If you already bricked it you can download a debrick file, download the 16 gb pit file or do a factory restore from scratch. I was able to get rooted, and unlocked on 4.3 with my S3 let me take a look back at my files, and I can tell you which ones you need, and how to fix your issues.:good:

This. ^^
I used 1.2 on my VZW GS III with 4.4.2 and it got bricked upon reboot. And from what I've seen it was as soon as the 4.3 update and I believe a recent firmware update, as well. If you have the latest firmware and at least 4.3, don't use EZ-Unlock at all unless you want to go through hoops to possibly (no guarantee) get it working again.
Hello,
I just flashed SlimBean ROM on my Skyrocket via ClockworkMod. I first formatted/wiped as is customary. It gave me no errors, so I assumed everything was fine. However, upon reboot, I was greeted with the Samsung logo, and then nothing. Just a black screen. It appears to be responsive to my pressing the lock button (the touch buttons light up). But nothing else. What could it be, and how can I fix this?
Thanks so much for any help!

Afraid that's a good sign of a hard brick. Does your device do anything when you try to turn it on? Can you get into download mode?

No, it don't turn on, and that is The problem,
To get into download mode
Remove battery & plug in usb cord to computer. While holding both*[Volume Down/Up]*buttons, drop in battery.
Does computer give up any notification? Sometimes a black screen is still download mode.
So you flashed a galaxy s ROM on this model?

I think that wil be a better way to my because I can do it myself just buying the board on ebay.
Buy or make you a jig.

If a jig doesn't get you into download mode, jtag services maybe the only way.

I have a TF300T coming in the mail Wed and I'm going to start playing with it here soon, I've been flashing my SPH-L710 for over a year now using CWM and I am very familiar with it but I keep hearing in the forums not to use it, but can't find a reason. I do have about 20 plus hours of reading in the TF300T thread, most people are saying to use TWRP. Just wondering why? I will most likely be running PACman just because I love that ROM.

Personally TWRP is easier to use and you save your volume buttons from being over pressed. I think there was some bug about CWM not being able to flash some ROMs, but I've never run into any problems with TWRP ( that weren't caused by my own stupidity ).
Tip:
Before flashing, make sure your bootloader is compatible with everything you are flashing. Also make NvFlash Backups ASAP.
Ty cmendonc2, that's what I thought about CWM not being able to flash some ROMS. I was reading through the NVflash thread last night and it looks to be very intimidating at first as well as the bootloader. I'm sure it's not that bad, I just need to get the tablet here so I can start playing with it. Sound to me that the bootloader is main central nerve of the tablet. EVERTHING revolves around it.

I'm using cwm 6.0.1.3...I keep getting errors flashing so far anything I've tried since I was on clean ROM which flashed perfectly fine...I'd switch to twrp but my screen was cracked and the replacement screen has no touch response is there a non touch recovery other then cwm that I can use?

I've used cwm for a long time until now
I find twrp so much better. I especially like the touch features.

CWM has problems on this device since JB. It can cause bricks so stay with TWRP which is better anyway.
I'd love to switch to twrp it seems like it would fix my problem ..but I was saying I need a non touch recovery cause the touch has not been working on my tablet since the screen broke are there any other recoveries that will work using the hardware keys?

To be safe, do the NvFlash backups and use the modified CWM recovery that you have to install with that.

Hi thank you for using XDA Assist. I'd flash the stock firmware in Odin and start over. Go to sammobile.com for the firmware.
