Running cleanrom 7, fill me in - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So, I upgraded to a moto x last year and haven't touched my vzw sgs3 since. I took out the sim card and gave it to my mom to use as a wifi only game player for her casino games.
Anyway, she finally made the switch and I activated it for her to use to test out the smartphone waters. I had to buy titanium backup and freeze the update because it already wanted to download updates which I'm sure would reek havoc on the phone.
From what I've searched and read, vzw locked up the bootloader and I can no longer flash updated roms or radios. Is this correct? It was super easy before but it seems complex now.
I don't want to brick the thing. I'll probably just leave it as is rather than fudge it up trying to update radios.
I guess the point of this post is what do I have to do to flash new stock roms and update radios? I've searched around and only seem to find stuff for people already on the locked bootloader and using a safestrap method. What about me on the unlocked bootloader?
If I have to lock it up then do all that jazz, I'll just leave it. If could figure out how to get it up to stock locked and on verizon ota I might do that but I'd hate to lose the unlocked bootloader and root in case I ever use this thing for anything again.

I'm also on the unlocked bootloader, there are several of us who still are. As far as the newest stock rom no you cant update to it which is 4.4.2 NE1, you can flash the modem but not the rom itself unless of course you want a locked bootloader
From my CM11 S3

I know this is a bit of an old bump, but rather than make a new thread I figured I'd use this one since the OP still applies.
I updated CWM recovery....can I flash, say, one of the AOSP roms that are on 5.1 or will I brick this? Also, can I flash updated radios or is that a no-no on my unlocked bootloader device? The above screenshot is still applicable to my radios version.

According to the CM12.1 thread you can:
Notes:
Please Use Firmware: VRBMF1
and
Modem/Baseband Version: NE1
If you have recently downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2, DO NOT flash the MF1 firmware. You'll brick your device!
If you know you never took the 4.3 OTA, then you can flash the firmware and modem to your hearts content.

Thanks for the update. I flashed an updated radio and a cm12.1 nightly with no issues.
Was as easy as I remember and brought a lot of life back to this phone.

YOU NEED ACCESS TO THE STOCK RECOVERY TO RESTORE(If you have CWM or TWRP installed you should know what to do).
If you never updated flash the stock rom with the install method above
http://d-h.st/49v
If you updated use this hacked one instead to downgrade to B132 completely(then simply do the ota update again)
http://d-h.st/6SO
If you screwed the stock recovery and your bootloader is locked but its still accessible via pow + vol down, try to get the bootloader unlock code and reflash the stock recovery once unlocked then reinstall the stock rom
If successful your device should be restored back to out of the box factory state.

bootloader unlock tool
Ok.. so I got this device super cheap to jump on the unlimited lte for $50 deal metropcs had going. Tried downloading the chinese tool you had listed above, but its chalked full of malware unfortunately. Any other unlock options other than emailing huawei directly [[email protected]] and requesting [which I read on a like thread at android forums]? Did that a week ago with no response. I'm a bit worried this device is not supported anymore because of its age. Could be. Any input/suggestions you might have though are appreciated.

devhost kinda sucks now(stopped using them but the old links are still up) and its hard to download from them because of fake link(with adware) next to a real one, anyway the monkeytool was blocked buy huawei over and over until the maker of the software gave up and stopped releasing new versions for it a good while back so I'm gonna remove it.
for unlocking the bootloader I would try to send another email and put URGENT on it, that sped it up for me(on my first vitria) used the tool for another one.
there might be other methods to get the code like the script hack here http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...tory-image-t3008551/post59408408#post59408408 , I tried it but couldn't get it to work though.
personally I don't really use my vitria anymore though but hopefully someone else with chime in and post another method.
I probably clicked the wrong d/l link... over a week w/ no reply from Huawei.. perhaps you could relink the monkey tool & I'll try to be smarter
Called Huawei today 888-5HUAWEI and they gave me same instructions. I then told them it had been over a week with no response; to which, they said if the phone is no longer supported, there will be no response. A nice lil reply of this device is no longer supported would have solved this riddle for me a week ago. But apparently, this method no longer works for this device [emailing official support]; so, I'm gonna have to try some alternative method(s).
Update
I tried to update but I keep getting install abort check software version and I never seen a file Ending in msp.7z is that the right ending
you have to extract that file 7z is a 7zip archive.

Galaxy S6- Knox Warranty Void 1 (0x0400)

[HELP] Knox Warranty Void tripped while flashing official stock ROM
Hello, just bought a new Galaxy S6 with SFR France firmware. Downloaded and installed my country firmware (Romania) to get rid of SFR bloat. flashed via Odin (Knox was 0), reboot to recovery then it showed error dm-variety failed or something like that. I wiped system and cache, reboot again, waited and configured the settings and just to be sure I rebooted the phone in Odin mode and it showed Knox Warranty Void 1 (0x0400). why did that happened? Didn't try to root or install custom firmware, only official stock firmware from sammobile. anything I can do in this case?
Pray that somebody comes up with a workaround or reset (and nobody will notice it on warranty claim). Similiar thing happened to men since then I use custom ROMs.
I hope someone comes with a solution for this. I'll pay for it. Hate it because it happened to me.
What does that code stand for anyway? (0x0400) is it something like an error code or something?
really? flashing through odin up the knox?? that's new, at least to me...

Yes. no root, no custom ROMs/kernel/recovery. I only needed a stock official ROM with no carrier bloat whatsoever. and this is what happened.

Every time I install the stock firmware KNOX stays 0x0.
The only time I install the stock firmware is when my phone is in a bootloop.
It works every time--no issues whatsoever.
Odin should be the safest program in the world.

yeah, that's weird, did you try it on your S6? thanks
I can't post pictures yet so I can show to you. After flashing the ROM, reboot to recovery to perform system wipe..at the bottom of the screen where normally it shows applying the CSC, instead it wrote something like "dm-variety failed". Wiped, reboot to write the new firmware, check odin mode and there it was: Knox Warranty Void 1 (0x0400)

I actually own the galaxy s6 edge. I have tried it and have never once gotten a single issue.
No fix for this at all?
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
There is no fix at this moment for sure. I also flashed ROM(ania) and other stock roms and never had problems, maybe accidentally you tried to flash the carrier romania rom, not the stock one.
Anyway, there isn't anything you can do at this moment, but at least you can install some custom roms and make this phone fly.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/54541/G920FXXU2COH2_G920FOXX2COH2_ROM/ this is the ROM I flashed. it's not my first time flashing with Odin. had the S4, Note 3 and Note 4, never had problems while flashing official stock ROMs.

Weird, i saw some people also saying that they triped knox flashing stock roms. I don't really know the technical details about s6 but my only ideea is that your SFR rom had a different partition scheme(usually carrier roms have different PIT files) and installing a stock rom which also has a different partition scheme and maybe that''s what triggered the knox. I bought mine directly unlocked from emag and i can freely flash stock roms.
Your phone was locked and then unlocked via code or you bought it directly unlocked?
Phone was locked and unlocked via code. I use it on Digi Mobil network.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
If I flash the SFR rom back, will it do something to the knox flag?

No Adi, it won't. Sorry.

Which will never come, since the Knox counter is an eFuse, so once it is set to 0X1, then only Samsung can set it back to 0 (probably by replacing HW or the mainboard).

It is probably throttling due to heat. Get a Custom Kernel (or ROM), which allows you to deactivate thermal throttling.

July security update - bricked phone!
Beware!
The last OTA update (OPLS27.76-51-7, July security update) bricked my Moto Z! I had no root, battery was at about 60% - now every time I try to turn it on it displays "your phone has failed verification and may not work properly" and reboots to bootloader with no way to force boot into system.
Do at least a full backup before applying!
I'll post an update as soon as I hear back from the support.
just update the july update via OTA, working just fine
- moto z 8.0 RETAPAC non root, locked bootloader
- upgrade to 8.0 from 7.1 via sideload
Updated today to july security version without problems, retmx without root.
This bricked my phone too. Can't unlock the bootloader, and Moto Support says I can't do anything but send my phone to the seller and hope for a repair. As I never flashed anything on this phone, does anyone know how to flash the right factory image and make my brick actually work again? Thank you all for your help!

and these are the exact reasons why i switched to custom rom since i no longer trust the official updates since the initial oreo release
If this this update upgrades the bootloader from 92.03 to newer in the process you cant even fix it yourself by flashing the official oreo image , even with a locked bootloader you should still be able to do that

Official sm-g930t TWRP missing?

Hello all,
My goal is to image my phone with TWRP(which I have used when I had a rooted EVO2,) I am not after root. My goal is to test different NON-ROOT backup programs and restore if something is missing. So I have to ask the experts here, I see NO official TWRP rom for sm-g930t, whats the deal?
Here is what I find at TWRP website for Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) (herolte)

The alternative is the Chinese variant. Also why does it say herolte in the first place? This is not to be confused with the hero phone?
This concerns me as I find guides to install TWRP for the sm-g930t from places like androidinfotech.com/2017/03/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-t-mobile-sm-g930t-nougat.html and Youtube.com using ENG-Root-USA.zip as the TWRP rom.
Thanks in advance for any help,

G930T is Snapdragon SoC which has a locked bootloader, you aren't getting TWRP onto it, it's not possible.
herolte is the codename for the Exynos SoC S7's, which is the SoC you need for TWRP.

Thanks @Beanvee7. So am I able to image my emmc partitions with adb for my cloning purposes atleast? Can they ever be returned? And finally you are saying if I have G930T, I cannot install TWRP on it period (even with Odin)---then what are some tutorials and success for... trololol? And is this lock thx to T-Mobile?
Thanks,
XDAGuy
emmc partitions I believe fall under boot partitions, which are locked by the bootloader.
Yes I am saying the G930T cannot install TWRP on it period even with Odin.
Odin can only flash what the device permits, and a locked device won't permit boot modifications.
If you can find me a tutorial where they successfully flashed TWRP onto a G930T I'd like to see it.
The lock applies to all USA models, it's not specifically T-Mobile. It was likely AT&T and/or Verizon that forced the requirement onto Samsung.
Smaller carriers would be prevented from allowing an unlock method, because it could then be used on AT&T and Verizon models since they have the same SoC.

I linked one in the first thread(without the protocol +www for anyones imagination,) they limit new posters on links. I also found one on you tube with people saying in comments worked on G930T, however cant find it since I cant search comments and its annoying.
androidinfotech.com/2017/03/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-t-mobile-sm-g930t-nougat.html
or
fastunlocker.in/root-samsung-s7-sm-g930t.html
Finally, whats this @ 1:49 youtube.com/watch?v=3yJY9RSpV0c, for custom OS? Cant change boot but can OS?
Those guides are both nonsense tbh, first one is full of errors without any photo or video, second one under the TWRP says 'we can't provide the files, find them yourself', so where's TWRP?
The video they show is also for a different model.
As for your youtube video, that's just standard recovery and download mode. All Samsung phones display the same warning, even models that can't actually flash custom firmware.
TWRP looks like this
Standard recovery looks like this
After some more digging, there is this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/development
You still don't get full custom ROM's, but you can run some modded zips.

You da man, very much appreciated for your time. I checked out the piece by Kevin, looks like he spent alot of time on it. Thanks for helping, but again, I was just looking to get TWRP installed so I could image my phone and test non-root backup solutions. I do not want ROOT atm. From what I am gathering I cannot change the boot parition to put TWRP, correct? And via ADB I cannot image my phone? And if I could image my phone, I couldnt restore the images to my phone, correct?
Thanks again,

Question IMEI & Baseband are gone in latest firmware version

I rooted my Samsung device previously, but has since done a clean flash and locked the bootloader so it's back to how it originally was. But now, if I update my phone, the IMEI & baseband are gone. I discovered that clean flashing the firmware A125FXXU1BUG1 seems to fix the issue for me.
So my question is, is it possible to update my phone without loosing my IMEI and baseband? And is this an issue caused by Samsung or me rooting my phone?
The same thing for me, I rooted, then go back to stock like you did but can't update to the latest version A125FXXU1BUI3. I'm currently on version A125FXXU1BUF9.
Edit.
I tried multiple times and couldn't upgrade. I updated it from the first available firmware Android 10 to the latest Android 11 in my region (A125FXXU1BUI3 XTC) with no luck. I tried every existing firmware on my device without success in updating to the current version, and I'm still stuck on version A125FXXU1BUF9. A125FXXU1BUI3 is only 710 MB in size, but no dice. I believe we are to blame for rooting our phones.
No luck means invalid IMEI and invalid baseband.
The issue isn't because you rooted your phones. Since the update A125FXXU1BUG6 I have also experienced IMEI and Baseband errors and I've never rooted my phone. I think the updates have a bug in them or something. Same goes with the latest A125FXXU1BUI3 update. I thought the latest one would fix it but it didn't. Waiting to see if the November security update will fix it
These are fimware issues made by samsung, they are not happending because you rooted your phone or triped knox or other... It's a ordinary fimware bug I thought they would fix in BUI3 which relased after BUG6(where the issue started happending) I thought then someone would allready report that, I don't actualy know if samsung knows this is happending or they just don't care to fix it.
And it's like as if anything over BUF9 is good... it really isn't. Some people say thay get bootloops and other weired issues on GSIs with fimware over BUF9 version. I haven't tested that my self yet, so I'm going of others people words. I dindn't test it because when I first saw the IMEI issues I didn't care to test.
Anyway, going to send a modem.tar file which could fix the issues, haven't tested....
I've flashed the new A125FXXU1BUJ4 November security update and the bug is still there but I was able to flash this IMEI/Baseband repair file and it fixed it. I actually reported to samsung but their response was to visit a help center. I guess they don't know it a bug in their firmware. Just flash the file using Odin and add it in CP.
The fix was posted on this forum:
