[Q] Unbricked to newest 4.1.1 release, now unrooted on SCH-i535 Verizon

I unbricked my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
It gave me a choice of factory stock roms to install during the recovery:
Step 2: Download one of the Factory Stock roms below to your pc:
VRBLJ1 4.1.1- http://www.myandroidfiles.com/open1y..._WIPE).tar.md5 (This is a Verizon Leak, but damn its smooth!)

I opted for the 4.1.1 newly leaked version. This is now my "About Device" pic:

So, now my phone appears as if it came with JB out of the box. I have no root and it's running smooth as butter! Love, love, love it.
Can someone describe the current state of my phone? I know that sounds like a stupid question -- and it likely is -- but I can't understand how I have JB yet not rooted.
And two issues I need help resolving:
1) USB connection to my Mac. I used to have some issues on out-of-the-box ICS but Android File Transfer app solved those issues. Now that doesn't even pick up the connection.
2) Wifi Tethering. If there is a rooted solution for my setup, I need to if root guides are safe to follow with the current state of my phone.
-Obviously a newb... but lots of love and respect to the developers out here who make life so much easier for all of us normal folk.

I'm running 4.1.1 too and love it. I'm not rooted either or unlocked.
Android file transfer no longer works with the GS3. I have a Mac too and I'm not happy that I can't transfer files easily.
A lot of people on these forums will tell you about alternatives but honestly, they all suck. Android file transfer was amazing. Only thing we can hope for is a new version from Google...

i guess i can use bluetooth for the one off file transfers. But if down the road I need to get in there for more heavy lifting I'll need to fix that.
Most importantly though - no wifi tether on 4.1.1 for Verzon gs3's ?

I got the other issues fixed except google search is not returning a voice response.

Make sure to backup internal sd and ONLY use the full wipe versions in odin.

Why would you post this here, go to Q&A or take a second to look around because you probably aren't the first person to have this problem...

Your phone is most likely fine, you just don't have the patience to fix it yourself.

This. Also verizon is probably not gonna be to happy when they see the phone and you ROMed it.
By the way op you may want to switch to Firefox or a browser with spell check. that OP was hard to read.

have the same issue a bit lower on my screen(broken digitizer) and it can be fixed only with a new display

Screen Tile Not respondig
Having the same issue here, as described above , but it only happened like 2 weeks ago tops , like when i updated to latest Kitkat (slimKat stable 3 back then )...
Is this definitely a hardware issue or some broken code?
Been reinstalling some kitkat here, but the problem persists,...
I thought the problem was the firmware because of some post i spotted pointing at slimkat or something...
Did any of you get this problem AFTER installing slimkat or even latest TWRP (2.7.0.0) ? (i updated both kind of the same time)

I had that problem on 4.1/2/3 roms. Disappeared on kitkat, fyi.

My phone was bricked because of a design flaw somewhere in the exynos chip. Samsung wants me to pay $200 for board replacement.

Before the new 2.1 update they were jus black boxes.
And the only fix ive been able to find is going into Recovery (TWRP) and clearing the cache.
When i do then i get this.
I had this issue on a Rooted version of the Stock ROM. Then i tried Beanstalk and had the same problem. Now im on this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-stock-goodies-nexus-5v-1-t2596173
Not sure what the name of it is buts a Stock version. And as you can see I still have the same problem.
AHHHHHH Its driving me crazy because everytime i reboot I have this issue and then have to boot into recovery and clear the cache.
Going into Apps and clearing the cache and data of the app does not work either.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it samething.
I tried using a different messaging app. Same thing.
I looked at the APNs and there are like 8 of them for messaging (AT&T)
The default is the 1st one. I changed it to the 2nd to last one and had the same problem. And it keeps going to the 1st one when i clear the cache.
Please HELP!!!!!!! Its driving me nuts!!!!!!!

Hiya peeps. Id just like to ask you experts with a little help.
For the past week my phone suddenly started locking up and freezing and rebooting itself and ive had its for like 2 years. ok its always suffered from a little lag when like typing but i got used to it. I recently wiped its cache but nothing has changed. Its always had issues with the battery with random shut offs at from anything from 30% to even 50+% ive replaced the battery before and i guess its time to replace again.
Main question is my phone just literally just restarted itself now and has come to this screen which i will upload a photo.
I cant remember installing a custom rom since buying it. i did buy it 2nd hand though.
But what does this mean in the photo?.
last night i downloaded marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware because i wanted to see if re firmwaring my phone might later this evening will help in the mean time while i will buy a new battery.
.its been stuck on this screen for like 20 mins already and im scared to turn my phone off

You need to install Odin on your PC and flash a stock rom.

It is using a stock rom, but it is in download mode. May I ask what device you have?

Ok after like 40 mins i did take the risk of taking out the battery as i'd assume my phone wouldn't be doing anything in its state. It rebooted again but still suffering from the issues i mentioned previously.
Im guessing this wouldnt be the last time this will happen and probably will see this screen again in future.
