Hello, I'm new here, first thanks for the site-AMAZING! My question is I am rooted, running the Goodness ROM, based on the 4.1.2 sw on my VZW GS3. Are there any 4.2.2 ROMS, and if so how do I go about getting to that base? Is it as easy as just flashing the ROM if it exists? THanks to anyone who can help!!
I have a METROPCS galaxy s3 and it is locked.
Running version 4.3
Is it possible to downgrade to 4.1.1
I have tried rooting with Odin and it failed
I have no clue what to do next.
Somebody said I need to get it UNLOCKED before I can do anything with this S3??
Any help guys....

It seems not that easy according to this thread: Downgrade Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-i535 from 4.3 to 4.1.2, is it possible.
And this: [Q] Hwo to downgrade to ML1 from Verizon S3 SCH-i535 JSS15J.VRUCNC1?.
Best to ask in the Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Maybe someone with the same device can confirm and/or explain why it's not possible.
(AFAIK, once flashed KK firmware, the bootloader is updated. If the bootloader is locked and only let's you boot into KK, this could be the reason. Just guessing ...)
Thread closed and thank you.
okay guys so here's my question.
I have the Samsung Galaxy s3 Verizon I want to know if I can unlock this because I'm using a GSM SIM card. And I want to know if I can install the ROM, I'm on kikat 4.4.2 rooted.

The S3 is sim unlocked. And no you can't install custom roms only safestrap with a few touchwiz roms. As long as your not on the bootloader after June 2014 you will be able to root and run safestrap. Safestrap is an alternative to a custom recovery

Ok so here's my question. I'm not new to the android scene I've made roms for the xperia play but since I picked up my galaxy I've been Leary about flashing since I'm not familiar with samsung devices.
I used the safestrap method to gain a custom recovery (twrp) any how I have stock kit kat and from what I've read if you see the samsung galaxy s3 screen for only a second you have an unlocked boot loader which I see the screen for a second. Now my question is since in on stock kk can I flash a jb rom with out bricking the phone and if I want to go to a jb what would I have to do? If I can find ChameleonOS rom I want to run that. Or mAybe carbon please help if you can thank you guys
