[Q] Cant unlock bootloader or Restore to stock or re root

i rooted it already, the only thing ive changed is the font on the phone, i want to update to the 4.2.1. jelly bean ROM but i didnt know about unlocking the bootloader till i tried to unlock it today and nothing is working. Ive tried everything with odin, CASUAL, nothing. so i figured if i restore back to stock then root again incase something went wrong and it wont let me in odin. Keeps saying fail. I download root checker and it tells me i dont have proper root access. Even though i have superuser. I have no clue what the problem is now and im stuck. Please help ..

What is your current phone info under About Phone? How exactly does Odin fail? There's not much that can go wrong address long as you're inputting the correct files and are actually in download mode. What you could do is just:
1) Odin flash MrRobinson rooted TW 4.1 JB
2) use EZ Unlock v.1.2 to unlock
3) install your preferred custom recovery
4) flash whichever rom you want

How are you booting into download mode (for Odin) on your phone? Also, do you have "su" in this directory: System/xbin/

Could you tell me if you have "su" in this directory : System/xbin/
Are you saying that your phone will not boot into download mode using the three finger combo? Or are you saying the file that you flash in Odin is failing? There's a little ambiguity here. If you can't boot into download mode BUT you do have su, try either:
1) without quotes, this adb command: "adb reboot download"
OR
2) Download Terminal Emulator, then type:
su
reboot download
Then try Odin flashing a stock image.

Ahh ok, clears it up for me. Well, Droidstyle's guide has the stock images for VRALG1 and VRBLK3 (I think). For you, it's probably easier to use VRALG1 stock image then root again.

I also can not install anything with out fail in odin! When I try to install anything from sd card I get failed to verify signature, I do not have unlocked bootloader or rooted phone. its completely stock. Is there anyway to unlock bootloader from odin? my main problem is the SIM card Check in the begging of the phone as I do not have a Verizon Sim at all.

Just tried and nothing. After a minute the last thing Odin says is "end..." and nothing happens

What are you trying to do? If you're using Odin to flash anything, your phone needs to be in download mode: hold power button, volume down, and home. Odin will not recognize your phone otherwise.

Clean ROM and System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless

I now tried to load the Clean ROM twice and when it's down loading I get the System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless and had to run ODIN to get the SIII back up and running.
Anyone else having this happen?

1) root
2) Unlock your bootloader using EZ Unlock v.1.2 from Rootzwiki
3) flash CleanRom using CWM or TWRP
Your bootloader is still locked that's why you see that Verizon warning.

Strange TWRP problem, no OS detected etc. Boots fine to stock

I ran the causal root applet on a new SG3 on 4.1.2. Ran root, the unlock script and installed TWRP. Booted into recovery and I got the error for a locked bootloader. I used download mode to get back to the stock rom and then used E-Z unlock to unlock the bootloader. Was able to boot into recovery this time but TWRP read internal and external memory as 0mb, unable to make a backup, and gave a no OS error when went to reboot. I updated TWRP with TWRP manager but the problems are still persistent. Phone boots fine and reboots fine at the moment.
I'm not sure what to do now though. I'm at the point were I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA update but I'm afraid that will brick the phone. I'm not sure what went wrong with TWRP, since this is the second S3 I've rooted.
Any sugestions? I'm afraid to use odin or try anything else since the phone currently works fine. But I'd prefer to not have to sleep in fear it might force the OTA update while I'm asleep and wake up to a bricked phone.
I tried searching, the best I could find is that newer versions of TWRP can't read the memory on a 4.1.2 rom, but the problems were there when I originally started with the recommended version.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Can you install a different custom recovery over one using the causal applet? I was planning on trying to reinstall TWRP but I wasn't sure if I had to do it a certain way like through odin or Using the unified tool kit?

OK.
Then download the Odin version and flash through that. Then boot the phone into recovery.
Or download ez recovery, and the latest cwm image file, and flash through that from your rom.

I tried CWM and the stock recovery through EZ, both gave the same error as TWRP, unable to mount /
I'm really confused as to whats wrong. At this point I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA 4.3, but I don't want to try to update it with the recovery still not reading either my SD cards.
Any Ideas?

Are you sure of your phone model? I believe it puts it on the screen in download mode and also on a sticker under the battery. I'm mostly curious because you mention that this is a new phone with 4.1.2. Are you trying older versions of cwm as well?

I'm pretty sure, has all the verizon bloat and logos, also I'm pretty sure the causal applet bricks the international ones. I don't remember the version of twrp that the causal script flashed, but I tried that one, the most recent one, and 2.5 i think from EZ recovery. The stock recovery from EZ has the same issue now though which is what really confuses me. at the moment I have root dissabled and the bootloader is locked and its back with the stock recovery, it still says custom when i reboot the phone though.

ODIN not delivering recovery

I bought a new S5 after totaling my old one, and I am trying to get it rooted. I flash the latest recoveries from TWRP and PHILZ, odin says reset and pass, but it doesn't register on my phone. My knox is still 0x0. I just updated to NE5 so I think that may be the problem. Any solutions?

Odin is very finicky. Try changing usb cables and changing ports. That should, and normally does, fix the issue. Good luck.

If you are already rooted you can try an app called flashify, it's in the play store. It works pretty good for flashing recoveries.

I'm not rooted, I plan on flashing the recovery so I can install a ROM. Are there any reasons why ODIN would say pass but not give me recovery? I tried 2 computers so I have a feeling it's the phone.

I don't know, I've never had a problem with Odin.

I would use "Towel Root" to root your new S5 if you haven't rooted yet. Heres the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 if you use this method it wont trip knox thus leaving knox counter at 0x0, and as far as recovery goes with NE5, use "Flashify" best app ever, root, download that app backup stock recovery with it then flash PHILZ recovery, then make back up of PHILZ recovery with Flashify. Reason I suggest using PHILZ is because it has been an on going problem with NE5 using TWRP to restore a NANDROID.

[Q] I9003 would not get past 'Samsung boot logo'

Hello mates, I have a I9003 which would not get past the 'Samsung' boot logo. I already tried flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com but still the problem persists.
Tried PIT+BOOTLOADER+MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
PIT+PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
ONLY PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
Nothing works, it is still stuck. I cannot wipe data/factory reset since I can't access stock recovery. Though going to download mode is not a problem.
Any fix for this? Or should I flash another stock ROM?

Try without sim card and flash cf root after full ddlf.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Free mobile app

I have made some progress, I think. While after flashing CF-Root for DDLF2 after clean installing it, I've waited for the phone to boot.
Now, it booted to the same Samsung I9003 boot animation, but after a while, I think it booted into recovery and started to wipe/install, though I'm not sure because the texts were going fast.
One thing I remembered was something with unable to mount /data among others. I saw other yellow texts, and also red texts, which seems to be errors (since I've used a CWM with other phones a couple of times).
After that, it got stuck to like a loading icon, like what you see when a video is buffering in Youtube, then reboots after a while to a stuck Samsung I9003 boot animation again.
Please help me mates, would be highly appreciated.

Try flashing BCK CF-root universal. I think there was a beta 15rc7 version somewhere in the BAM kernel thread. It does include a recovery.
Only for GB ROMs, not Kitkat/JB ones.

I actually did that earlier, but the thing is as I've said is that I cannot boot to recovery with the 3-button combo. What I was hoping for is a file or kernel or anything that would automatically reboot the phone to 'recovery mode' after flashing it through Odin.

I'm sure you've tried this before, but can you try flashing complete ddlf2 package from here.
This has never failed me, yet. It's my fallback if everything else doesn't work.

I'll try in a bit after DLing the package. Should I flash this several times to work? Should I flash once with PIT and BL, then just CSC, PHONE, and MODEM?

Flash all 5 at the same time. See the snapshot shown in that thread.
Also, try a different odin version (i think 1.85 worked best for me) if it fails.

Flashed it and it actually booted to recovery mode. I'll list some of the errors that arose:
E:/format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Data wipe failed
Also tried the 'apply update from sdcard', and shows:
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)
Now I'll try to flash CWM to it and hopefully boots to recovery again and flash a custom ROM :fingers-crossed:

Well, I think another progress has been made, after flashing the DDLF2 firmware again, I waited for about 7 minutes and it got past the Samsung I9003 boot logo, and it goes to the Samsung boot animation, and after that, stuck at a boot loop.

So maybe the internal mmc is corrupted. I'm not sure one to follow but definitely not the one with the wonder go program since how can I enable USB debugging if it won't even boot. Should I try to flash DDLF2 with inserting a microSD card? Or should I remove the internal mmc, which I've read in another thread was kind of successful but a little hazardous.
