So I'm locked and rooted with safestrap installed on 4.3. There's only a couple roms compatible with locked bootloaders so I decided to try them out. So I downloaded Alliance rom and it boots up just fine. But there's only one issue, the WiFi won't turn on. I tap the toggle, and it says on for a second, then it turns off. I have no idea why, but I've tried different kernels and roms and its the same thing. Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go back into the Safestrap thread and download the VRUCML1 kernel modules. If you want working wifi whenever you flash a TouchWiz rom through Safestrap, you must flash these as well. These will only work if your baseband is VRUCML1 (Settings/About Phone/Baseband). If you are on VRUCNC1 then you need to Odin flash VRUCML1 tar then root and run Safestrap.

I am almost certain I flashed that before the rom. I guess it may have been c1 instead. I will try again

Cool, let me know how it goes. Remember, once on VRUCML1 and Safestrap, flash the rom then kernel modules. If the rom has an option for Safestrap then choose that and see if wifi works BEFORE reflashing and flashing with VRUCML1 kernel modules.

The original one I had was only 2 megabytes compared to the 19 Megabyte one I just got. In the description of Alliance rom, it says to flash the module, then the rom. I did that, chose the safestrap kernel and it reboots after 30 seconds on the rom. It keeps doing that. So then I wiped it, and tried a different kernel, which is the stock Alliance one, and it boots up and works fine, but no WiFi. I'm completely lost here, as I just got this phone 3 days ago. And I took the 4.3 update with no knowledge of the locked bootloader If you have any more suggestions, please inform me. Thanks.

No, flash the rom then the VRUCML1 kernel modules. OR flash the rom and choose Safestrap kernel.
What does your baseband say, btw? VRUCML1 or VRUCNC1?

Hmm, have you tried another rom like CleanRom or Mostly Stock ML1 to see if wifi works? Cuz the only two methods I know to have working wifi on Safestrap is
1) Flash rom and if it has Aroma installer, choose SafeStrap kernel option
or
2) Flash rom then flash VRUCML1 kernel modules

Aight, try another VRUCML1 based rom with your same VRUCML1 kernel modules and we'll see if its reproducible there. You may have to reboot one or two additional times after the rom boots up to check if wifi works.

Same thing with CleanRom and a fresh download of the modules. I think I might just stay with stock TW. Hopefully some miracle will happen and the bootloader will be unlockable again. Guess we'll just wait and see

Hello Friends, This is BRICKBEATS and I have just COOKED my first custom rom for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III 4.3 from the recently released update. This is stock WITH KNOX APPS REMOVED AND SOME VZW BLOAT REMOVED, and was supposed to have root but it doesn't seem to work at this time. THIS IS A CWM FLASHABLE ZIP AND DOES NOT FLASH THE SECURED BOOTLOADERS, MODEM, OR RPM FILES!!!! I just flashed it to my phone less than an hour ago so any bugs are unknown as of yet. I figured we could all test it out and any input is appreciated. I will get screen shots soon!!! Enjoy
edit: wifi is broken
edit 2: give a decent amount of time for that first boot, it may take a battery pull and hard reset..

I think I know the answer to this but I just want to make sure. If we flash this are we still able to revert back to 4.1.2?

Yes if you do flash this rom you can in fact revert to 4.1.2 or any version of android built for this phone for that matter. All this is doing is just installing a rom that has the 4.3 base. If you do decide to go back, just flash a rom thats built on any other version of android for this phone.
this is actually a better rom option with more functionality...

Can I install Clockworkmod Recovery and a custom ROM if I root with saferoot on my 4.3 TouchWiz VZW GS3?

No. Installing CWM will hardbrick your phone but it will be recoverable.
What you can do though, after Saferoot, is use Safestrap then you will be able to flash only other VRUCML1 TW 4.3 roms. You will need to flash the VRUCML1 kernel modules in that thread as well, after any and every rom flash in order to have working wifi.
What if I flash a de-KNOXED TW ROM?
What if I flash a de-KNOXED TouchWiz ROM then flash a different ROM like CyanogenMod or Carbon ROM?

You can't do that, it uses a different kernel, you're limited to TouchWiz kernels only. Without it your phone will brick.

That sucks. Hopefully someone from the community could figure this out. What if you rooted with Saferoot and froze KNOX? And installed a new ROM?

Knox isn't the problem, Verizon implemented the locked bootloader. Doing this only keeps your system from Detecting root access, but it really doesn't matter unless you're planning to return your phone to Verizon for warranty service.

Oh well I could care less about the warranty service. I just care about getting rid of this evil ROM.

I know, the point is you can't disable the bootloader, so you're limited to 4.3 custom TouchWiz roms using safestrap for now.

Yup! Wipe, flash the rom, kernel modules, then boot up. Do these exact steps each time that you flash a custom VRUCML1 4.3 touchwiz (TW) rom.

It already comes with twrp preinstalled with safestrap. You can only flash TouchWiz 4.3 roms. You can change the rom slot size according to your preference but the more you use on one rom the less you'd have for any additional slots.

Hello,
I took the OTA update and tried flashing (using safestrap) one of the 4.3 roms that will work on the phone (Clean Rom 8).
The rom boots up fine but there is no Wifi. I tried flashing that popular modem thing and it still didn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks in advanced.
Good back into the Safestrap thread and download the VRUCML1 kernel modules. You need to flash those after each clean flash of a VRUCML1 4.3 rom to have working wifi.

Sorry man, but i am new to this stuff, bare with me. Recovery? Is that the program i use to flash ROMS and other things to my phone? I have the Team Win Recovery Project and i hate it. I read that i need to update this before i flash so i did and it still happened. I want to delete the Team Win Recovery Project and go back to Clockwork Mod (i think its called). Any idea how to do this?
Download flashify from play store and use it. It will let you download and flash either recovery. There's a variety of other apps and ways as well. In all honesty though, if you're using the latest version of twrp then you shouldn't have a problem flashing if you're trying the appropriate roms for your phone.

If you are using Safestrap, download the VRUCML1 kernel modules from the Safestrap thread and install those when you flash a custom TouchWiz rom.

Thanks for the reply but I managed to brick it and then I got it back to stock using Odin. Now Safestrap doesn't work and I just downloaded 4.4, I always screw up stuff like this. I only have 5 months left with my phone so It doesn't really matter. Perhaps there will be a way to root on 4.4 one day.
